The next letter that Nick read was
from Scramble Squirrel. Here's what
he said:
Dear Mr.. Sprinkle Blow:
please don't send any rain for
awhile. Samantha and 1 have used
up the store of nuts and acorns that
we had put away in our tree-pantry
for the winter, and now we are using
the ones we stored away under
ground. AS 1t will likely be some
time before nuts and acorns r ripe
again (for dear knows the leaves on
the trees where they grow aren't
even out yeti. Would you mind keep
ing the weather good and dry so they
won't spoil? If they r kept in a
dry place they keep finely. but there's
nothing spells 'em quicker than damp
soggy weather.
"Nother thing! We've just come
home from Scrub-Up Land where we
got spring cleaned. and we're clean
as new a We don't like mud
and we get d%readfully mussed dig
ging in our ground pantry after a
damp spell. So If you'll just kindly
send dry weather. We'll feel greatly
obliged.
Yours in hopes.

But the game was begun, it had
to go in. Next day I phoned Colin
McReady to go with me to an art
exhibit, a private view Of a French
painters work. 1 brought him home
to have tea. Win found us together

Having begun the game. l had to

a few days after Jul foursome at
the roadhouse-which had turned
into a fivesome-Edith called me
up.
Don't you want to take a charm

Are you afraid your s~tenogra-

1t a irritating the way she had
picked on that sore spot. OF course,
no one would become jealous, but 1
knew there would be a lot of COM
ment if she came by for me at The
office again.
Talk about women having TO be
careful of their steps! A married
man who so much as looks at an
other woman is the victim of more
untimely curiosity than a two-head-
ed zebra.
There were some things I had to
admire about Edith. One was her
courage-some people would have
called it cheek. Another was her
habit of being punctual. She was
on time that day to the very minute.
Should l have worn a heavy
veil?" she demanded. you know
you do seem so afraid of being seen
with me-"
Nonsense" I returned easily.

truth is you don't look a bit like an

For heavens sake don't tell me

No, ~humdrum, Boring"
"Still, you haven't escaped It."
IT'S very discouraging of you to
say so. I'm going to get even by
picking out the most expensive items
on the menu. Are we going to the
same place for lunch?"

had said about B~ristol's chophouse,
and how she had suspected us of
lunching in one of the alcoves there.
| was going to see that she had
nothing to complain of this time.
So today we went to Francois,
where the prices were much higher
and the food not nearly so good.
Edith fulfilled her threat by order
ing a luncheon which began with
clans and ended with an ice, and
included almost everything in be-
tween.
Il don't eat any breakfast" she
explained, because it's bad for my
figure, and I worked so hard this
morning spending poor Georges
money that I'm as hungry as a
lion"
"As a couple of lions" was my
only comment.

Is there any cure for "~enlarge-
ment of the heart and leakage?"
The enlargement of the heart is
probably an effort on the part of
nature to compensate for the leak
age. In leakage of the heart, the
valves do not close tight. An in
creased amount of work is thus
thrown on the heart. In conse-
quence of this work the heart usual
ly becomes larger and often as a
further result, the circulation is car
ried on fairly. we'll. When this stage
has been reached, the condition is
said to be Compensated If your
condition is such that there is fairly
good compensation, do not worry
further about any cure. Be thank
full that the heart Is able to do so
well. Be sure, however. not to over
exert yourself. for the extra work
thus thrown on the heart may be
more than it can stand. and COM
%rensation will be broken. 1t is inn
possible to give you more specific
advice.

1.-THE Game Goes On"
CHAPTER XXXVIII.

But next day at tea tine I took
great care to have Media with me.
So when the musician came, it was
to drink tea and carry on an in
4crmal conversation. He did not
like Nede>. as l guessed.
"She is so tall so cold, like a
statue, so i~mpersonal,' he told me
once. Il like not marble statues.
I like-apple blossoms, such as you"
Apple blossoms fade-they live
only for a day. A marble statue is
eternal" 1 answered.
~"Ah, you are witty, as well as
beautiful" he answered, his hand
closing over mine.
And l am very wise as WELL" I
answered. and slipped my hand from
his. This was a few days after the
first tea. and Nardonski lac come in
unexpectedly.
Meantime, Gwendolyn had come
down to see me, bringing the little
man Colin McReady, as h had
promised.
He is an artist. Some day he will
be a great artist" Gwen said. Il
discovered him painting great things
in a garrett That is romantic in
Paris, one does il on the Left Bank
in Montmartre. But 1t is merely
Uncomfortable in New York"
Mr.. McReady laughed. He looked
over the chairs in my room, and
finally pulled the most uncomfort-
able over to the fireplace, where he
hunched himself up as 1 had seen
him first. I noticed, when l handed
s1im his cup of tea, that he had
Yray-green eyes, remarkable eyes
when he opened them. Most of the
time he kept them half squinted-
he shut himself up behind them.
Win came home for tea that day
It was the first time he had been
home so early in weeks. I decided
st was Owens presence that had
brought him. but I said nothing.

Grace had married him out west.
She hadn't seen n of his family ex-
cept himself before she became a
part of it.
or course it wasn't necessary, for,
as she said, she wasn't marrying the
family.
But somehow things didn't go
well out west. Grace discovered
that what she supposed was poise
and reserve in the man she married,
was simply stupidity and lack of
ambition and that unless she wanted
to keep on taking dictation the rest
of her life she'd better accept her
new husbands suggestion and go
cas-. to his parents.
So they went.
And Grace. with all of her swag-
ger. her independence, her almost
pracriced disregard for tradit pms of
any kind, had something Of the eff
feet of a bomb on a table of Sat
suma in the atmosphere her hus-
bands mother had created. Every
thing seemed to snap. The very air
was electrified.
Grace Sneers
When her husbands mother had
some old furniture, lovely old
things. brought out of storage. and
sent out to the new apartment,
thinking she was doing the wife
of the not n toe ambitious hus-
band a favor, Grace was scornful.
Il think she is just doing that
to insult me-" she said.
And when the elderly woman
and her son proudly brought out the
family record one evening, Grace
sneered and walked over to the win
dow.
Whose Fault?
She had no patience with such
things! What did ancestors count?
And so it continued until the moth
er-in-law's calls became less and less
frequent and the atmosphere dur
ing them more and more frigid.
And now Grace is getting a di-
vorce and she says the fault is all
her mother-in-law's, that h and
Harold would have gotten along If
it hadn't been for her mother-in-law.
But what she didn't understand
was that one little girl shouldn't ex-
pect to &C into a family and revo-
lutionize it, and that the philosophy
productive of the most happiness is
the one which respects the opinions
of others.

Venus rules strongly for good to-

1t is a day most favorable to the
projects of women making for sue

farming.
Large enterprises will be init
lated by women in the United States
and they will be carried forward
rapidly, but the forces that start
good activities ALSO arraign the pow
ers of evil.
While women will accomplish
r;uch in large constructive altruis-
tic movements, there will be many
obstacles interposed by their own
sex.
Intrigue will be more practiced
by American women than formerly,
for there will arise many with great
power to plan and carry our sin
lister activities.
This should be a propitious day
for starting on journeys by land.
1t is a fortunate rule under which

,Tublike Craft Numerous About Old

From The Columbus Dispatch.

From the Columbus Dispatch.
BY far the most interesting craft on
the upper Tigris are the qufa and the
kelak, this latter coming from up river
and descending to Bagdad.
The qufa, as seen in Bagdad to-day,
is a circular tub made OF interviewer
osiers covered outside with pitch. The
large ones are as much as six feet
across and four or five feet deep. They
are propelled by two men, who stand
close together and, leaning over the edge,
dip their paddles deep into the water
and sweep them away from each other.

debt would turn into the United
States Treasury approximately an
other quarter of billion of dollars
year on top of the half billion of
dollars year of interest.
For the foreign governments in
debted to our Treasury to remit to it
on such a funding and amortization
arrangement approximately three
quarters of billion of dollars a year
(for the interest payments would di-
minish almost imperceptibly until
several years had elapsed) would cut
the war debt charges now coming out
OF the American taxpayers pockets
down from one billion dollars year
IN round numbers to a quarter of a
billion year, or from an average of
$50 year for every family in the
United States to $12.50.
Yet the United States Congress,
pledged at the national polls to re-
lieve the public in every possible way
of the magnitude of war burdens
which still oppress it, argues and hag-
giles and wrangles with Secretary
MELLON over the foreign debt powers

can taxpayer .sweats his blood into

Police Slush Funds.

Three New York city detectives
having been reduced to the grade OF
patrolman because of their alleged
intimate association with fund to
influence the course of legislation in
Albany last winter, certain questions
inevitably present themselves:
What is the name of the lobbyist
to whom the money was paid?
To whom was it supposed to go
ultimately?
Was the lobbyist registered as an
agent of the men whose cash he ac-
cepted, as he should have been regis
tered under the State law?
Did he actually pass along to law
makers any of the money entrusted
to him? Or did he keep it all?
The powerful New York city Po-
lice Department, with its gifted in
vestigators, ought to be able to un-
cover facts which, properly followed
up, would reveal the answers to all
these questions. Surely, if it will
begin the exposition, Governor MIL
LER may be depended on to press it
to the conclusion which would please
all honest men and confound the
rascals involved.

Candy and Soda Prices.

Neither candy nor soda water is
a necessary of life, and the expendi-
ture of energy by public officers in
attempting to regulate the prices
charged for these luxuries is a glar-
ing instance of waste.
If man or a woman, a boy or a
girl, does not want to pay the price
charged by a confectioner for his
wares all that the dissatisfied person
need do is to keep his or her money
in his or her pocket.
Should the prices charged by any
confectioner arouse the resentment OF
a sufficient number of persons to
affect his trade seriously he would
mighty soon revise them. The public
can protect itself in this matter Just
as it protected itself in the matter OF
shoes and clothes.
Let the public authorities devote
themselves to essential problems, and
let individuals themselves solve the
less important problems.
