PERSONALITY OF
ALICE DUER MILLER

Mrs. Miller smiled audibly over
the phone when / called her up to
ask her to tell me something about
herself, her life. her work. She
implied that there was nothing to
tell. but l knew better and ques-
toned her. She said she was a
New Yorker by birth (but I was
already aware hat she belonged to
one of the oldest nj finest of New
York families) and that she had
lived there most OF her life. Has
h ever lived anywhere else? Yes,
for some years in Central America.
Her book, "Calderon's Prisoner"
dealt with that country. II now
bears the title Something Differ
emit"
Nearly all her books, l found,
had been both filmed and drama
tzed-an extraordinary achievement
for any author. "Manslaughter''
broke all her previous records. She
has written plays that have been
big successes; she has appeared
times without number In all the
leading magazines-it is impossible
to fill the demand for her work.
Her interest in the Star Series of
Matrimonial Adventures was keen
from the first. The story thai fol-
lows, written expressly for this Sc
ries. holds her characteristic humor
and charm.

1t was Sunday. He would take them

MARY STEWART CUTTING. JR-
Eliot had been married seven years
and he was bored; not bored with
the temporary languor that came over
him of n Sunday afternoon when he
wished for enough energy to go and
play golf-but actively bored so that
every action of his life as far as he
could see vas ugly and lusterless. And
yet he Lowell his wife and his two good
little girls. Mary was pretty. good, de-
voted. and-though his mind hesitated
a little over the last step-intelligent.
Her mind was as alert and vigorous
and quick to understand his thoughts
as II had been when. the autumn after
he left college, he had married her.
1t was matrimony, he told himself,
not Mary, that bored him; but he was
aware that the line was n fine
Nevertheless he had been careful to
draw it, when, the evening before, Sam
Francis and he had been discussing
the advantages and disadvantages of
the married tate. Sam was a bachelor.
He had come over to dine, and after
dinner the two friends had zone to a
moving picture. Mary was busy put
ting the children to bed. The picture.
as II happened, dealt with the life of
a young married couple; and though
all the walls were Of rough plaster, all
the doorways were arches, and all the
trees eucalyptus. breakfasts and babies
and bills seemed to be much the same
on one coast as on the other.
Its a dull picture" said Sam the
bachelor, lightly.
ITS a dull subject" said Eliot, the
married man, bitterly.
This opened the door to n discussion
none the less frank and intimate be
cause it was carried on in generalities.
Eliot began by quoting that terrible
sentence from Middlemarch: 81 never
loved anyone well enough to put my
head into n moose for them-lt is n
moose you know Sam agreed, but
wondered whether every man as he
grew older (Sam was twenty-six) die

this point an Irresistible desire 70
self-expression came over Eliot. H'
remembered how he had once beer

more than intellectual-free to miss

STAYS GIANT GRIZZLY,
NOTORIOUS CATTLE Thief
Oklahoma Hunter Kills Bear That
Ruled Range for Years.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-"Old One
Toe" king Of the grizzlies. killed
yearlings on the cattle ranges OF
northwest Wyoming for twenty years.
From now on, however, his stuffed pelt
will stand lifelike In the natural bis
tory museum at the University Of Okla
homa, at Norman, and silently assert
his claim to the title, biggest OF all
BEARS"
The greatest Of them all, "Old One
Toe" measures 81 feet from nose-tip
to tail-tip, and weighed between 1,2OO
and 1900 pounds. The bear, which lost
the other four toes IN his right hind
foot In a trap in 1902, fell before the
automatic rifle of Arch A. Campbell,
his annual vacation hunting big game
and catching rainbow trout In the
vicinity of Dubois, Wyo.
His conquest of "O1d One Toe" was
Implanted up to the moment that
Campbell stumbled on the tyrant of the
cattle range, rayenously devouring the
carcass of a calf. From the first en-
counter to the kill was twenty-four
hours.
"Old One Toe" made wary by his
setto with a steel trap and grown gray
in the two decades he had outmaneu-
vered cattle men, was q foe worthy Of
any hunter. Campbell trailed him all
day, after the first shot, before he was
able to come up with him for the final
battle, which was Of short duration.
Campbells progress out Of the woods
was a triumphal march, as all the cat
tie men wanted to see the carcass OF
the bear which had caused them heavy
losses.

Of ~"Immortals'"
Span of Life Measured

Paris.-The recent death, at the age
Of nInety-fve, Of De Freycinet, the
French engineer and former premier,
has raised the question, "How long do
the 'Immortals' Liver" De Freycinet
was a member Of the French Academy
for thirty-three years.
The record for long life goes to the
nephew of Corneille, Bertrand Fonte-
nellie, scientist, philosopher, poet and
dramatist. He was born In 1857 and
died In 1857, lacking but one month
of living a full hundred years. He was
a member Of the French Academy for
sixty-six years, elected at the age Of
thirty-four, after being refused four
times previously.
The honors for holding membership
In the French Academy longer than
anyone else go to Marshal Richelieu,
grandnephew of the famous cardinal.
He was elected In 1920, at the age Of
twenty-four, and died in 1888, ct the
age of ninety-two, thus being an I'm
for sixty-eight years.

will undoubtedly adopt regulations
soon which will govern the three
year loans and allow them to be
made. Loans are also allowed or
wool in storage at this time, anC
other agricultural products produced
in Idaho will be added to the list as
fast as the board reaches them
Baled hay of good grades stored in
bonded warehouses is also avail
able for loans.
1.-THE pressing need at this time is
for those wishing to avail themselves
of the services of the intermediate
credit bank to organize the local as
sociations needed, adopt articles and
bylaws, submit them to the officers
of the bank for approval, and be
ready to loan none and discount
notes for those raising grain, wool
and hay, when it is needed. Mr..
Ward M. Buckles, is secretary of the
bank at Spokane, and will soon have
sample articles Of incorporation and
bylaws prepared, both for the as
sociations with capital, and for CO.
operative associations, and will send
those intended for Idaho to all the
county agents in the state, and also
to all farm loan associations within
one can get access to such articles
as will meet the approval of the
bank, and form their organizations
and be ready for business.
"It is not expected that banks will
avail themselves much of the chance
to discount with the intermediate
Credit Bank. In the first place they
can only discount a small portion of
their loans with it, as they are limit
ed to twice their capital and surplus,
while their total loans are many
times this sum, and it is unfair to
them to ask that they loan to a part
of their borrowers at 100 when their
prevailing rate for making loans is
higher. 1t is thought that the bank
ers will welcome a chance for the
to obtain cheap money, and
thus be able to hold and market his
crop to good advantage, rather than
to have to sell it on a market which
his necessity for raising money helps
to depress by his having to sell to
pay creditors. 1t is even thought
that many bankers will be glad to
to manage the farmers loaning
and thus assist them, as
hey can do the business cheaper and
better than inexperienced persons.
"Mr. Buckles, secretary Of the In
Credit Bank, Of Spokane,
will aid any one wishing to get start
I'd. or to get any further information
about the services and scope of the
)ank."
