An Inch Of Time
BY MARTHA M. WILLIAMS


20. 1920 by Mcclure Newspaper syndicateo
"Music hath paness to make the saw
age" Marcia paraphraSed, stabblng
viciously the stocking she was darn
ing. The darning was refuge from
the French-hern batting in the top
floor studio, the girls singing "Dearle"
off key across the court, ana the
scratchy monograph flight below
grinding out "Over There" Tor the
third time Since dinner.
"Had as well have gone to that silly
concert" Marcia went on plaintively:
"Still, it's something to have nobody
making clumsy love to you. Joe, poor
lamb, is dub at it, but | have to
listen-it would be as cruel to hurt
him as to strike a baby that smiled
at you"
From which it appears Miss Marcia
Lane had a conscience, an awkward
possession for u born f1irt.. Marcia
loved the game if it were even reason
ably well played. Joe Gregory would
never, never learn to play it, He was
so appallingly honest, so absolutely
literal Marcia loved to think Of him
as something betwixt habit and
benefactor-any ether way he weighed
on her mind. He was as steadfast as
thoughtful in rendering friendly serv-
ices-Marcia writhed under some of
them, but could not bring herself to
hurt him by refusing them.
The evening was so sultry she had
left the outer door on the chain. After
mild rap some one said through the
crack of it: MAY l come in for
five minutes? No onger?"
"Why-I don't know" Marcia fall
tered, approaching the door. She
saw a human segment, TALL well

HONOR THEIR PATRON SAINT
Gipsies Now Gathering in France tc
Pay Due Homage 10 Sara Of
the Egyptians.

From all over southern Europe hun
ward little hamlet on the shores OF
Brittany, where the old-World gipses
are gathering to gay homage to their
patron saint, Sara, of the Egyptians,
who, they believe, was the servant Of
the Virgin Mary.
The word has gone out for the gath
ering of the gypsy clans at Saint"
Sara's shrine in the Breton village of
Ploumanec. Already their encamp-
ment in the shape of huge, five
pointed star contains 5000 gpsies
from France Spain, Italy and Rouma-
mia, the land of their origin.
The gypsy legend concerning Saint
Sara has no foundation anywhere in
the Scriptures. The origin of the
strange story, which conflicts at every
point with the New Testament, is
yelled in mystery. The gipsies of Eu-
rope, however believe the story of
Sara will: implicit faith.
Sara of the Egyptians their legend
says, was the devoted servant of the
Madonna. After the resurrection she
followed her mistress, in an exodus
from Palestine unchronicled anywhere
outside the gypsy legend, but was I'M
able to overtake her.
When Mary reached the shores of
Palestine and took ship, Sara. who
was magician, turned Ter scarf into
a raft and followed her mistress over
the sea. But she never overlook the
Madonna and the raft, so runs the
tale, was finally washed ashore on the
coast of Brittany, in France, where
Sara died.
Because of her wanderings and her
magic powers, Sara was adopted as
the patron saint of the gipsies, who
built her a shrine at Ploumanec which
contains her wooden effigy and Il rel
iquary said to hold splinter of her
thigh bone. saint Sara" has never
been sanctifed at Rome and she is
ignored by all other Christians. But
the gipsies still hold yearly gather
ing in her honor whenever war Eas not
closed the International boundaries.

hooded figure rushing impetuously

stranger without glance at him. and
was quickly swallowed in lower half
lit depths. Then came smothered

of a powerful car. Marcia rejoiced
that hers were not street windows;

it; shuddering she sank upon win
dow seat and hid her face in her
hands. Body and soul, she was shaken
to the depths.
Now for year she had built up an

that bespoke ordeal, ne said nothing
of it, but took her to dinner and after

through the park. 1t was the first of
many. Marcia found them infinitely

Vaccinating a Hog for ChoIera-Don't
Run Risks or Waste Feed With Un-
healthy Live Stock.

hogs, 3,92S head, have been marketed
from the county through cooperative
work, with an estimated saving of S.
600. In Houston county the depart
ment's representative taught IS men
to vaccinate hogs. Six sets of ipstru-
ments owned by the Dothan Rotary
club were supplied to the -demonstra-
tors and a m-distributing point
was established in charge of a reliable
veterinarian. More than 5000 head of
hogs were treated. In many cases it
was found that sickness, other than
cholera, was due to some incidental
cause, such as bad peanut meal, and
balanced rationS were advised. The
county agents work resulted in 30
farmers establishing pastures TO keep
their hogs off the open range, the land
thus pastured being freed from many
noxious weeds by the roofing of the
animals, and prepared for future cult
vation Forty-four farmers in the
county were interested in stump re-
moving and about 1000 acres of land
was cleared in this movement. About
five tons of dynamite was bought for
the purpose largely on the cooperative
plan.

The proper and only safe thing TO
do with the recently purchased animal
is to place it in quarantine upon its
arrival Better keep it there not less

you to keep a careful watch over the
