this room for several weeKs-my old
heart bOthers me bit, too
"Auntie!" cried the girl remorse-
fully: Il ought never to have gone
into the otliCe-yOu needed me here,
and yet'-youth's yearning for free
dom and the cOmpaniOnship of other
young things clouded her eyes.
Il know, dearie, l know" sighed
Mrs. Hayes, "but I'm afraid you'll
have to stay home with me this win
ter"
Molly choked down the rest Of her
tea and cleared the supper away. At
last she came back, looking very pale
and wistful but smiling. "Tll tele-
phone to the office in the morning"
she said cheerfully, "and if they can't
spare me, why, they will have to-,

cor course it's horribly dull here for
a young thing like you, making up
beds and sweeping and looking after
things, but romance isn't always rid
ing down the street on a white horse.
and who knows" she smiled drows-
lily and slept, while Molly crept away
to the kitchen to pick up the neglect
ed work. Perhaps few tears dropped
into the dish water, perhaps there
was sleepless night for the girl who
had just found JOY in the daily com
paniOnship of her young fellOw-work-
ers, but Mrs. Hayes had always been
like a mother to little orphaned Molly.
and so the girl presented a cheerful
face the next morning when she be-
gan the old dull routine.
81 wouldn't mind so much If It was
a pretty, new house with lovely things
no, even plain things-and there"
she always blushed when she peopled
her dreams with the visionary lover
and husband. SO Molly became a
busy dreamer once more.
Her brief Office experience had

taught her the value of method and
she applied this knowledge to her
work in the house and never had the
rooms been so well cared for. Three
times a day she carried meals up to
the young man in the red room, I'M
til he asked if he might not be ploted
down to the lower floor.
Il want to eat with real folks once
more" he said in his pleasant whimsi-
cal way.
You will save me miles of running
up and down." laughed Molly, who
wished he would remove his bandage
so that she could see if his eyes were
as good as his firm mouth and chin.
She liked his voice and his smile seen
dlmly in the darkened roOm and when
he came into the upper hall and she
saw the brown of his skin and the
muscular frame she felt a queer little
| thrill. He rested d hand on her Shout
der and she thrilled once more. He
lowered above her now, for she was
tiny, and he laughed teasingly at her
fright when he stumbled.
Sometimes Molly read to him from
dry chemical books, or articles in
some scientific magazine, and once
when she fell asleep over a lengthy
description of a new process he leaned
over and CROPPED for her hand, but
his fingers only touched her soft
| brown hair.
Describe her, Mrs. Hayes" he
whispered to the other invalid, who
could now sit in a chair and knit.
Mrs. Hayes responded with twink
ling eyes. ''She's little, like a kitten,
her hair is soft and brown and her
eyes are blue and she has a real pink
and white skin, and"
MOlly's perfect lips quivered and
then little crinkles came about her
| eyes.
"And she smiles in her sleep when
people talk about her" she interrupt
ed wickedly.
ooh, Molly" chided her aunt.
"Ah, Molly Hayes" muttered Ron
aid Harvey, turning quite white.
Mrs. Hayes hObbled away. for the
atmosphere was highly charged with
unsaid things. Her swift backward
glance was a "Bless-y Ou-my child"
'What is the matter?" asked Molly
bravely.
Ronald smiled. J"Love" hey said
tersely.
"Oh" Molly shivered, and it was
a pity he could not see her face.
I'm in -Wth-you-and some
day-Im going to marry you, if YOU
don't mind. I'll be all right in another
week. and there'll be plenty of money
when l get back to the works again
You don't say word. Molly, is there
anybody else"
"NO-nO," she said softly.
He was holding her hands tightly.

Auntie and you and I-you won't
mind?"
Molly's head dropped toward his.
Il don't mind" she breathed gently.
Mrs Hayes peered in at them "Ro-
nance begins at home" she nodded
apprOvingly as she tiptoed away.

The Young Man in
the Little Red Room
By CLARISSA MACKIE.
(9. 1921, by Mcclure Newspaper syndicat,


Molly Blair came home from the
Office that night and found her aunt
lying on the couch in the basement
dining room groaning with rheuma-
tiSm.
I'm sorry, DEAR" said Mrs. Hayes,
feebly, but you will have to get sup
per tonight-and there's the poor
blind boy up in the little red room
l don't believe he's had a bit to eat
todayw
"Oh, DEAR" sighed Molly; I'm so
sorry, auntie-there, you must not
worry a bit now. Close your eyes
and take forty Winks-then you shall
have broth, and bread too, and a cup
OF my own tea" The girl put away
her outdoor garments and hid her
pretty dress under a great apron
that was vastly becoming. She went
into the kitchen, raked the fire. put
the Kettle on to boil and pushed the
pot of soup over the Goals. Then
she SKINNED over the stairs of the
gloomy old house like a swallow, light
ing the gas in bathrooms, halls and
landings so that the rOOmers might
find their way in. Most of the room
erS took their meals at the boarding
house next door, but since young Har-
vey had come home one night half
blinded by a chemical experiment in
the factory where he was employed
Mrs. Hayes had served his meals to
him in his darkened room and she
never breathed to a soul that the
young fellow was in arrears for room
and food. There was something myS-
ferrous about Ronald Harvey and the
good woman held her counsel and gave
him motherly care until this day when
stricken by her old enemy, rheumatism
When Molly had taken a bowl of
steaming soup and tea and toast up
to the darkened red room on the third
floor and had placed the tray on the
table near the door and backed silent
ly out, she brought her own supper
tray to her aunt's couch and they ate
supper together.

Hayes between sips of tea, that I'll

AND 1T WAS THE SAME MULE
Friends Tell Good Story on Lawyer
Who Has Risen to High
Position in State.

Col w. H. Holmes, state superin-
tendent of game for the department of
conservation, was admitted to the bar
on reaching his majority. His first
case was to prove that certain mule
belonged to certain negro. He won
the case.
Subsequently in another mule case
he proved the animal belonged to an
other negro. Then he was elected dis
trict attorney, and the first case he
had to prosecute was one concerning a
mule. The mule had been stolen and
was over the line in Mississippi. He
was going to abandon the case, when
one of his former clients approached
him and said:
"Cunnel, eff l was you all, I'd go
after dat mule OATS de mule been
suppohtin' you evar since you was Il
lawyer"
And in all three cases it was the
same mule.-New Orleans TimeS-Pica-

AGE OF MAMMALS Is ENDING
Destruction Has Progressed Rapidly
Since introduction of Guns and
Steel Traps.

The beginning of the age of man,
some half-milliOn years ago, roughly
estimated as the close of the age of
mammals, marks in reality but the
beginning of the close of the age of
mammals. The extinction of the most
superb mammals that the earth has
ever produced, during the early stages
of human evolution, progressed from
natural causes due directly or indi-
rectly to the Glacial epoch. With the
Introduction of firearms the destruc-
ton has proceeded with increasing
rapidity, and today it is going on by
the use of guns and steel traps, at
more rapid rate than ever.
BY the middle of this century man
will be alone amid the ruins of the
mammalian world he has destroyed,
the period of the age of mammals
will have entirely closed and the age
of man will have reached a numerical
climax, from which some statisticians
believe it will probably recede, be-
cause we are approaching the point
of the OverpQpulation of the earth in
three of the five great continents

FEASIBILITY.

dinner in New York, apropOs of high
retail prices:
"a guest in a Florida hotel com
planned to the manager:
" Your restaurant is conducted in
a very rotten way. At lunch today
found hair in the ice cream, hair
in the honey, and hair in the ap-
pie sauce
"Well, you see the manager ex-
planned, the hair in the ice cream
came from the shaving of the ice. The
hair in the honey came from the comb.
But | can't for the life of me under

COCKROA ACHES
Remarkable Strata.

While drilling test well for oil
on the Turkey Track ranch near
Spearman, Tex, w. Scott Haywood
and associates discovered a deposit
of salt which is III feet thick. This
salt strata was encountered at a
depth of 700 feet, and what is said
to be the most remarkable thing about
it is that no water was encountered.
Neither has there been any water
found anywhere else in the well,
which is now at depth of more
than 200 feet. The fact that there
is no water above the salt bed makes
the mining of the product an easy
matter, it is said.
