TELL THESE
AT DINNER

A young married man met a
friend Of his bachelor days and
insisted on taking him home for
lunch. His wife was unprepared
for visitors.
Calling him aside, she told him
she had only one dozen oysters.
and that when his friend had
eaten his quota Of four he must
not be asked to take any more.
In spite OF his promise to re-
member, when the guest had eaten
his four oysters, the host pressed
him to take more. The wife look
ed distressed. and the friend de-
clined. The husband insisted, the
wife looked on in agony, and the
guest refused firmly to have the
rest of the oysters brought from
the kitchen.
Later the wife said to her hus-
band, How could you urge him
to have more oysters when I had
explained to you that there
weren't any,"
I'm sorry" said the penitent
husband, but 1 forgot about it,"
Forgot! What do you suppose
was kicking you under the table
for?" retorted his wife.
but you didn't kick me-" said

TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
THE JEALOUS ADMIRER.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going about
with a young nan for two
years. About two months ago l
met another man. He made an
appointment with me and l kept
it. The young man with whom
am going about greatly OBJ
jected and l told him l was not
engaged to him ind could go
with whom I pleased.
Now, Miss Fairfax, l would
like to know who is right.
S. A. L.
YOU are quite right. A girl
should not cut herself off from
all other friends and interests
when she is not engaged. If the
man really loves you, he ought
to be a little more certain of your
LOYALTY. In going out with an
other friend or acquaintance you
can so conduct yourself that there
ia no thought Of belittling your
affection for the man who really
means most to you.

MYTH the near approach
" Of the hay fever sea-
son, few words re-
garding general considerations are
in order.
In the first place, as is now
we'll known, the condition is due
to the inhalation of plant pollen
to the protein of which the body
has become sensitized, while In
the cases complicated by asthma
the dust from horses, cats or
other animals and the odor arts
ing from feathers play part
Also in these asthmatic cases the
individuals trouble may be due
to sensitization to certain foods,
such as fish, milk, eggs, straw

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

When cleaning a CRATE, make
a pad of cloth and rub SCOT
from the flues or back of the
crate on all the greasy parts
before black-Ieading. This re-
moves the grease and produces
fine polish.
An old piece of garden hose
makes an excellent carpet beaten;
it is more flexible than stick.
When washing blankets or flan-
nels add two teaspoonfuls Of glyc-
crime to each part of water; it

softens the water and prevents
the blankets becoming hard and
felted.
Mix a mustard plaster with the
white of an egg and it will not
cause a blister on being applied
to a tender part of the skin.
When aluminium pads become
black and dull-looking they should
be cleaned with soft cloth
dipped in lemon juice. Rinse In
warm water.

TVHE red and green lights in
the windows Of Henry Del
kels drug store winked IN
the night as John Martin tackled
along in the teeth Of a bowling
rainstorm. He was a prescrip-
ton clerk and a good one, but an
unfortunate error in the matter
Of young strangers desire for
few grains Of a forbidden drug
had worked his undoing.
The prescription had been
forged one, the man had died,
unfortunately, and Martin didn't
get any more work. That Is in
reputable places.
Martin sorely needed the small
wage doled out to him. At home
his wife lay Ill. The doctor was
doing his best to keep her alive.
Martin was bitter as he looked
about the ill-kept shop. To think
that he, for an error Of the past,
should sink to this-he who held
his certificates and knew more
about drugs and medicines than
dozen Deikels!
He recalled the entry into the
big store, where he was an hon
ored employee Of the well-dressed
man with the prescription calling
for certain drug. Doctors ord
ers!" he had said. Martin had
taken chance. In the morning
the bottle was found beside the
man in an uptown hotel; Martin
was discharged, his certificate
and license taken from him, ana
cast out to make a living as best
he could with a wife and child
to provide for.
A noise at the door took him
to his feet and he walked to the
front counter. A man stood there
with a bit Of paper in his hand, a
wild look in his eyes. A drug
addict of the worst sort, was Mar
tins first impression, as with a
suspicious glance at the bearer,
he read the paper. 1t called for
a large amount OF deadly drug
He'd been caught like this once
before. but never again He'd be
sure this time.
"Where'd you get this" he
asked sternly. eft isn't on a pre-
scription pad"
Man come out Of a house and
called me as was passing. Told
me life or DEATH" said the man.
Gave me the money. Told me to
hurry"
Martin stared at him. The
amount and medical terms on the
slip were all right. but he was
afraid to take a chance again.
This man might or might not
have gotten the order properly,
and If he gave it to him and he
died from it it would assuredly
come back to him, and there
would be a new clerk in the
store tomorrow or next day.
Finally he thought of a plan.
and motioning the man to wait
he retired behind the prescrip-
ton counter, and after handling
a few bottles in an undecided
way finally filled a small bottle
with plain water. The drug
called for was colorless, and he
figured that 1t would not De
noticed.
Anyhow, the water would prob
ably do him as much good. if he
thought it was a drug, as tbs
real drug would have done. So
he delivered the bottle over to

" whisper as he started
for the door. But be-

w whisper WI" as ne sta started tee
fore he could cross the room
that door swung open and man
stepped inside.
The first thing about this man
that impressed Kestner was his
size. Yet an overfastidiousness of
apparel seemed to lend to the
great figure a touch Of the eff
Terminate. He reminded the Amer
lean of an Angle viking in a silk
lined Inverness. He made fig
ure that at first glance might
pass unchallenged through the
grand monde of Rome, yet be-
meath the immaculate raiment
and the official-like posture of the
shoulders lay some inalienable
trace of the charlatan.
Kestner saw at a glance that
the man was WATCHED, at one
time answering to the name Of
Wimpffen, and at still another
known as Keudell. He knew it
by the small sword-scars on the
blonde cheek, by the deep-set eyes
under the yellow lashes, by the
grim and saturnine mouth with
the touch of mockery about the
heavy lips. He recalled certain
things from Wilsnach's wire, the
murder of Eichendorff at Odessa,
the court-martial at Boden, the
provincial court case at Vienna
over the Galician fertilization be-
trayals, the earlier rumor of a
year once spent in the penal
mines of Siberia, the Livorno plot
to smuggle the fruits of a win
ter's espionage out of Italy by
concealing certain papers. in the
coffin of a British admiral who
had died at Pisa. There were
other unsavory details from
equally unsavory quarters. And,
remembering them, Kestner also
remembered that knowledge was
power. Yet his enemy seemed in
no way discounted by the Ameri-
cans calm stare of opposition.
Herr Keudell, believer"
Kestner had the satisfaction of
beholding the deep-set eyes be-
tray one brief second of disquiet.
But it was a second and no more.

other.
Kestner bowed.
