Mason Towers on her way to

Envy, herself, opened the door.

spots of color on the wide cheek

with eyes so blue and wide that
they seemed to occupy most Of her

heartily. Then. deeply touched by

strangely. Now, we'll just have
to decide what we want in the
thermos bottles and Wen be ready
to start whenever you say the

It seemed odd to be riding in
Evvy's little blue car-but no stranger
than II had been to find myself In
the big one which had once been
mine. Somehow the dark blue road

sine seemed symbols Of stages In
my life. The little car suggested
the first days Of my marriage. 1t

Envy had broken her spite engage

Aileen had thought Of that. too;
when she went to bed and lay star

John Barrett was up there some
where smiling his approval. Tor
though he had said often that land
lords were a bad lot he had warm
spot in his big heart for Sir Fergus
Cassidy, who was different from all
the rest.
Sir Fergus's thoughts were not
of John Barrett, but of his own

the old place had a lady. High

Fergus was OF race too good to
snuff out; 1t would be all right now

THE RHYMING

BY Aline Michaelis-

with long and agile legs;
each cave.man kept a dodo
herd to lay his breakfast eggs.
The dodo's song was counted sweet
in history's dawning days, and
everyone you'd chance to meet
would mention 1t with praise. But
now no dodO greets the sun with
prehistoric crows; the dodo's day
is truly done and no one needs his
woes. Men find his footprints In
tho rock, they prize each ancient
track; but not one person in our
block would care to have him back.

dwelt in cliffs and caves have van

ANCIENT ARTISTS
 GOT SMALL PAY
 FOR MASTERPIECES

ROME, Oct. 5. Modern artists who are inclined to complain of the lack of appreciation of the pub lie, expressed in dollars and cents, of their work, may be interested in the money made by some of their famous predecessors.
 The ancient masters of painting labored for small pay. Cimabue. the first of the great masters and the discoverer of Giotto, was paid about one dollar a day, but he had to share, this income with an assistant. Giotto himself, called the father of painting and the producer of many fine mas terpieces, got from $5 to $11 for each of his figures. Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael lived in what may be called the golden age of art, yet the first two received salaries of $32 a month, and the last named got $250 for a portrait.

WISE CD OLD OWL RUNS
 INTO BuRGI ALARM

CINCINNATI, Oct. 5.-An owl which flew into the open window of law office on the ninth floor of the Carew Building gave rise to a burglar alarm, scared night watchman half to death and finally was captured by the "burg. lar hunters" and turned over to the Zoo. The watchman was making his rounds when he heard a noise in the closed office and, after summoning aid, opened the door to investigate. He found the owl perched on top of a ponderous law book, looking ridicu- lously wise considering the foolish predicament into which he had got himself.

AMERICAN MINER
 HAS LARGE OUTPUT
 OVER BRITISH WORKER

NEW YORK, Oct A comparison of American and British figures for coal production shows that the aver age mine worker in the United States produces more than TOO tons yearly while output in the United Kingdom is at present reported to be only 223 tons per worker, the National Bank of Commerce in New York says in it's magazine, Commerce Monthly for September.
 "A substantial increase in the pro ductivity of British miners has been effected since the British coal strike of 1921" Commerce Monthly says.
 "In 1913, the average annual output per worker employed was 25S gross tons; and in 1915 it was increased to 256 tons. Following that. year, how ever, the average output dropped stead fly until for the year 1920 it amount ed to no more than 1S2 tons, but the current output of coal is reported to be at an annual rate of about 223 tons per worker While this is still below the pre-war rate, it represents con siderable increase over previous post war years
 "The average output per man in the United States is in striking contrast O 1913 average, for the United States, was no less than 681 tons and it was steadily increased to 76S tons for the year 1918, declining to 743 tons in 1920, the latest available year.
 "This striking difference is due largely to the greater use Of ma chine mining in the United States. Prior to the war less than 9 per cent of British output was machine mined, against 43 per cent for the United States. Since then there has been some increase in the use of machines in the United Kingdom, particularly in the Scottish fields. where about one-uuarter of the output is now mined by machine. In the Welsh fields, however, only 2 per cent of the out put is machine mined.
 "The relatively limited use of ma chine methods in the United King dom is in part ascribed to hostility ~f tho workers who fear disnlacement but in good measure it is said to be due to the physical characteristics of many British mines, which render

ARE NATION'SHOPE
 FOR WINTER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Amer ican farmer-the backbone of Ameri- can rosperity-provides the chief hope. through his bumper crops, that the country can go through the winter with minimum of handicaps follow ing the twin industrial strikes. The farmer, according to officials of the Federal Reserve Board, is to have a good season. He will get higher prices than last season. He will have enough surplus to supply a greater volume of goods to foreign buyers.
 While the strikes have cost billions of dollars in wages and other losses, the farms have gone ahead by their increased output in rolling up more agricultural wealth.
 The Federal Reserve Board fore- sees many complex problems this win ter. as an outgrowth of the strikes, although the general business situa- sion is believed to be inherently sound.
 BUSINESS IS ACTIVE
 Business activity has kept up at high level relatively, according to re- ports of bank agents. Labor disturb ances have, of course, kept business somewhat suspended in many of the chief industrial localities, where rail road and coal labor has been idle, but the country as whole is on good footing, the reports declared.
 Although the farmers have larger output and will reap larger prices it is not improbable that they will find some degree of disappointment in the rising price movements in different commodity groups. But their net gains over last year should be considerable and price records for the coming sea- son.
 The corn and spring wheat growers are having one of their best seasons for many years. Cotton growers or the south and southwest face pros nerOus season because of higher prices an less damage to the crop than was anticinated from the boll-weevil TO haccn planters have prospects of an eX- ceIlent crop Other crops are con- siderah'v above average.
 FARMERS ARE BUYERS
