 He hung up and turned exultingly to Edna
 i've trapped him-old Cousins! Told him a fake story of a business prospect, MT Sanderson I'm sup posed to have met on the train. Urged him to get after him at once. We'll here is the Eureka man--our rival here first. Cousins is the only man I told the yarn to. Do you see? Do you see?"
 Edna said yes, she saw, and that Cousins was despicable creature to betray his own firm
 Jack was too excitedly triumphant to observe the wistfulness in his wifes eyes-the look that said she was trying to be patient and reason able, but that she felt more like an orphan child at a salesman's banquet than a bride on her wedding journey
 'Ha-the old fish not onlyO swal- lowed hook, line and sinker," went on Jack, tramping up and down, but he's given the whole darn scheme away.
 We've been doing rotten business and the Eureka has hoomed because our little European manager has been double crossing us and dragging in a

Though the neig h bors could hardly believe the news. they came a-running from all directions. Among them was Fatty roon's mother When she heard the story from one of her cousins she knew there was something wrong. And now. quite out Of breath, she flung herself upon Uncle Sammy Coon and rolled down the bank of the creek with him.
 "Yo ou will treat with my apples, will you ?'' she cried.
 He managed to shake himself free. And without answering her question he hurried into his eating house, locking the door behind him.
 When Mrs Coon looked into the basket, a few minutes later. there wasn't an apple left there.
 She stayed in front of Uncle Sam my's eating house long after every body else had gone home. But he wouldn't come out He was afraid to open his door
 T wish shed go away" he growled. For once in my life I tried 10 be generous and treat my friends. And just see what peck Of trouble it got me into. I'll never treat anybody again." Uncle Sammy Coon vowed. Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan

 Of course Uncle Sammy guessed then that Mrs. Coon had teld her son to beware of him. But he still smiled pleasantly And calling to a friend of his who was swimming the creek, Uncle Sammy beckoned. The friend came hurrying up. dripping, and looked inside the basket.
 Give this gentleman an apple, " Uncle Sammy told Fatty Coon. Hes q good friend of mine"
 Well, Mrs. Coon had said nothing about not giving an apple to anybody except Uncle Sammy Coon. So Fatty told the stranger to help himself to one"
 Uncle Sammys friend tried to take two apples. But Fatty Coon shouted, "ONE." right in his ear. And he hastily dropped the smaller one.
 Now. moment later Uncle Sam my's friend spied a friend of his own, crawling up the bank from the water.

ENTHUSIASM GREETS
 MANTELL'S GENIUS
Famous 1ragedian Opens Weeks Repertoire at Parsons Theater
(By Herald Reviewer).

Robert B. Mantell and Genevieve Hamper opened a weeks repertoire at Parsons theater, Hartford, last night with the presentation Of Sir Ed ward Bulwer Lyttons "Richelieu." If the initial performance can be accept ed as a criterion of what is to follow, their visit to Hartford will be re- munerative financially and in public appreciation of their talent
 In the role of the adroit cardinal statesman of the court of Louis XIII. Mir Mantell was called upon 10 dis play his histrionic genuis in its fullest power. He succeeded admirably. ris- ing to such heights in every act that the audience forced him to present himself before the curtain. How firm ly he has become entwined around the hearts of American playgoers can be determined by the fact that the audi ence rose to it's feet at the fall of the last curtain and continued to applaud until he came before the footlights once more.
 Miss Hamper supported the great actor splendidiy. As Julie De Nor temar," the protege of Richelieu, she acquitted herself creditably. She pos sesses charm and grace, augmented with high dramatic skill which makes her eminently suited to play opposite the great Mantell.
 Edward Levers well portrayed the weak royal flop. Louis NIL
 Others deserving of special mention were John Alexander, as "Adrien De Mauprat," Henry Buckler, as 'Gaston. Duke of Orleans" 4. C. Henderson as Joseph a Caruchin,' Vaughn Deer ing, as "Baradaa," the royal favorite: Guy Lndsley. as Francois" Riche- lieu's page; Deaver Stores. as "Hu- ulet." spy: Franklin Salisbury, as "DeBernghen." and Miss Agnes FL liott Scott whose brief appearances as a spy in the service of the Cardinal were in keeping with the high stand ard Of the cast.
 Others members of the company were Roy Clifford Miss Theresa Col burn. Miss Violet Howard, Day Keene, Abraham Ivory and Edwin Foos.
 Mantel and his associates will be seen throughout the week in selected Shakespearean and other classic plays.

Hygiene Board Holds Meeting.

The advisory board of the state bu.
reau of child hygiene held full and
interesting meeting in the office Of the
state board of health. The purpose Of
the. meeting was to discuss plans for
the expansion of The program for the
development Of the Sheppard-Towner
work Two additional baby nurses,
Misses Ruth Moore and Laura Black
burn. have been secured. One of these
will develop the baby program and the
other will have under her supervision
the midwifery work of the state and
will endeavor to see that all midwives
are registered and that they receive
and carry out the instructions of the
state board Of health.
DR.. William Weston OF Columbia
made a motion disappearing baby con-
tests. which motion was approved by
the board. The reasons given for this
disapproval were that baby contests
bring out only the best babies of a
community and are of no educational
value to the mother.
DR.. r. e. Seibels Of Columbia was
elected a member of the board and
also appointed as special adviser for
the development of midwifery and ma.
ternity work.
n resolution was passed to the eff
feet that wherever county hospitals
already exist or are being contemplate
ed obstetric and nursery departments
be added.
A committee. composed of DR.. ]. A.
Hayne. Mrs. Ruth Dodd and DR.. w P.
Cornell. was appointed to get out two
bulletins, one on maternity and in
fancy and the other on baby welfare
These bulletins will furnish general
rather than specific information.
DR.. Hayne said that the object Of the
Sheppard Towner bill was for the pro-
lection Of mothers and infants by edu-
eating the public to tax itself in order
to protect mothers and infants.
Mrs. Dodd proposed resolution to
| instruct nurses, when planning baby
conferences. to present first the mat.
| ter to the county medical society and
to ask this organization to appoint
| some local man to assist the nurses in
| the examination OF the babies. II 1t
is not possible for local man to give
| his time, then the county medical as.
sociaiton should invite some baby spe-
| cialist in to assist the nurses in these
| counties.
