old Samuel. "Il get some time off from the

The house seemed to become suddenly

No one had had much to say up to this point,
and, as usual, Mrs. Crbbage was the human
weather vane indicating which way the breeze
was blowing
"It's awful what those apartment hotel peo-

"Why, little tucked up room you couldn't

Mrs. Canary regarded the speaker with
malicious smile. "Aha!" she exclaimed. "Have
you just found out what things cost in other
places Mrs. Cribbage? / could have told you,
but some folks have to find out things for
themselves. Did you decide to take sute?"
she asked pleasantly.
For once sarcasm was lost on the little wom-

voice.
"Don't worry, Matte. Well find place
somewhere" encouraged Samuel in low tone.
"I'll look again tomorrow. A man told me OF
a nice little place out ways, but wouldn't
mind the extra trip if you was to be comfort
ably situated. He says the airs fine.

"I'ye tramped again all day to-day. I even

ed Mrs. Canary. II am quite reconciled to
making change. AS look at it, everything's
always for the best, whatever happens"
Depression settled heavily around the table.
And then Mrs. Canary made some remarks
possibly without precedent in the annals of
landladies.
"This dinner is atrocious,' she said. "Posi-
lively atrocious." There was detached air
about her, as if she had no more to do with
the fare before them than her most captious
boarder "The soup was like dishwater. This

while the agent wouldn't let me sign new
lease, ne gave me every assurance that I'd be
safe for another year. Mrs. Canary defended.
'The first knew of this deal myself was to-
day, when the parties came to go through the
house."
1.-THE sale hasn't been closed, has it?" asked
Samuel Cribbage who always dealt in facts.
'Ihat man talked as if he had it all bought
and paid for" his wife assured him. "Didn't
he say he was going to take off the high stoop?
BY the way he went on felt we'd have to be
taken down ladder if we didn't 60 right down
while the steps were still there. And he said
he was going to put two apartments with baths

"No, I'm sorry, Colt, but Mrs. Canary has
no case," regretted Samuel Cribbage "She
has no lease and hers is rnonth-to-nonth ar
rangement. Even if this were just a private
home she would have some chance but the law
does not hold in the case of a rooming house."
"But l know Of a man who ran rooming
house, and he hadn't lease either, and the
new owner just couldn't bulge him. He hung
on and on,' argued Colt.
"Ah! man," broke in Mrs. Canary. "Its
different with a woman who has no one to
aid her."
"But that Mrs. Jepson, who had the board
ing house Ccwn the street, got quite large
sum to give up her premises, so why can't
you make them pay you something?" de-
manded Gertie
"Mrs. Jepson had a lease explained Mrs
Canary, patiently. "If poor old Mr.. Winter
green was alive this house wouldn't be sold
but you know how heartless heirs are-grasp-

he had sentiment for it, and he was always
perfectly lovely to me-"
"Do come up to our large front room' in

Approximately 200 officers and men, CON-
prising the skeleton organization of the COM
mand, left Camp Sherman, Ohio, on August
IL, and arrived at Fort Smelling, Mimi, No
vember II.
Starting in the midst of one Of last sum-
mer's hot waves, with the temperature hover
ing around the 90-degree mark, the regiment
finished by making 1876 miles in a driving
snowstorm, the mercury being below the
freezing point
I'm addition to making a remarkable hike,
the command has set record which is even
more notable by travelling the entire distance
without having had man on sick report"
stated Major F. M. Brannan, commanding in
the absence of Colonel A. w. Bjornstad.
Zone or two men were bothered by the heat
during the early days of the march," he con-
tinued, "and one or two cases Of frostbite
have been recorded during the last ten days
of the march. In Wisconsin we encountered
severe snowstorms and low temperatures In
stead OF losing weight, many members of the
command have gained. One man is credited
with having gained twenty pounds"
Major Brannan said 22.6 miles was the
longest hike made in any one day (Noven,-
Der l5). The roads on that day, he stated,
were snow covered and in poor condition.
The command halted at Camp Perry, Ohio,
