WHY MADGE WAS SURPRISED
LILLlAN'S VISITOR

watched with tense interest for
Katie to emerge from her room after
her interview with Lillian. And when
Katie finally came back to the kitchen
| was relieved to see that she was out
wardly composed and would, no doubt,
hc able TO 20 on with her daily routine
without any emotional outbreak.
But her pallor, the strained express
sion Of her ewes, her occasional fur
tive glances from side to side, as II she
were in deadly fear of some terrible
mcnacing thing appearing suddenly be-
side her, told me that she was suffering
mental tortures because OF having
broken her swear" to Lillian and con-

importance in the government investiga-

pititul toward my devoted little maid,
whose love for my child and me had
proved stronger than her centuries-n-
hcrited fear of the "black magic with
which the man in the hospital had

utmost in my power TO Danish from her

Madge's PlanA
An excursion of one day or two to th'
ocean bcsch-this was the first project
TO come 10 my mind. Within easy mo-
toring distance lay miles and miles o.
wonderful sandy beaches upon which
the real ocean beat gayly or sullenly &C
cording 10 its mood-beat with never {
sand bar or rock between the shor,
and that of the European continent three
thousand miles away.
In the preparations for such trip
most Of which would fall upon Katie
shoulders, the girl would tnd no tlm'

there would be no keener enjoyment o

HOW THE SUNBEAM

sister beams 10 make things warm,

very fond Of work: II would much rather

sad the lazy little sunbeam.
And that is all the sunbeam would
have done If it had not happened that
little Brown Elf creeping about
under vines and tangled bushes had
not heard q sound OF weeping and
being very inquisitive he crawled deep
under the vines TO find out where the
sound came from.
Away down deep close to the damp
ground he found a little plant, Just

weeping because il can not get warm
and can never bloom. What can we
do to help it?"
'rBu,z, buzz" said Mr.. Bee, looking
very wise. Let me think -sLet me
think. Why, of course; Of co4rse, the

TO himself. But the Brown Eli knew
that the Wise Ones always d I'd that,
so he sat very still and waited.
Mr.. Bee few up to lazy Sunbeam on
the tree. Come" he said, "you are
of no .hse here and there is someone
that needs your help"

Sunbeam, besides that ! am waiting

waiting to say more he chased lazy
little Sunbeam, with the help OF Brown
Elf through the thickly tangled bushes
down TO where the little plant was
shivering with the cold.
1t was all 80 sudden that lazy Sun
beam did not know what il Was really
doing until the sweet violet thanked
it, saying "Oh, how beautiful you are,
dear bright Sunbeam, and how kind.
Now am quite warm and shall bloom: y ;

the lazy Sunbeam, though lazy no
longer, for it found that helping others
was much more fun than being lazy,
and after the violet was full grown and
needed it no longer little Sunbeam
went about looking for hidden places
into which it could creep and help
some shivering flower.

OLD BUILDINGS IN LONDON
NEED CONSTANT CARE

London, Nov. 25.-A wood-boring
grub is threatening to destroy many
of the ancient architectural wonders
of London. The grub first made its
appearance in large numbers some
ten years ago, and had done much
damage to the wood sections of his
toric buildings before it's presence was
discovered.
The insects already had eaten into
the roof supports of old Westminster
Hall, which dates from the time OF
King William Rufus, and royal archi-
tects and engineers were at once set
to work to remove the decayed parts
and substitute iron work. The work,
however, was extremely tedious, and
although it was carried on through
out the war, it has just been complet-
ed. 1t was necessary to remove all
Of the beams and many of the pillars
of the famous building.
The grub was next found to have
made considerable progress in West
Minister Abbey, but this structure is
now being successfully repaired. The
grub has also been at work in the
Houses of Parliament, the Guildhall
and Saint Paul's Cathedral, which
also are undergoing repairs.

In anticipation of easy pickings at
the fair next week there is already
quite an aggregation of "solicitors"
on our streets selling subscriptions to
journals of every description (some of
which never had any existence). The
premiums promised range from d
fountain pen to a gasoline launch.
This class of tourists generally ope-
rate among the more ignorant of the
colored people, and the ministers and
other leaders of the race should tell
them to turn down their schemes. Il
is hoped that the city and county Off
cials will keep keen eye out for this
bunch of fakirs and make them move
on to the hard roads, where their serv-
ices are in great demand right now.

NEW BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT

As will be seen in an announcement

Mr.. T. NJ. Kilgore has opened a new
grocery store on West Broadway and
solicits his share of the public patron
age. Mr.. Kilgore is an ex-service
man and very popular among our peo-
pie, so it is safe to predict for him
every success in his new venture.
Messrs J. H. Cramer and Fl. White
side are his assistants at present, but
il is to be hoped that before a great
while the business will grow to such
proportions that others may have to
be added to the sales staff.

Members of the intermediate B. Y.
P. U. left town yesterday afternoon
at five o'clock for hike on the An

miles out a big fire was built and
soon the appetizing odor of roasting
wienies and bacon on sticks, added to
the appetites which were already keen
from the walk. A tempting lunch was
spread and everybody was voted
fine cook, even the boys who were
present. The following were those in
the party: Florence Collins, Hazel

be found the first of series of very
