in the financial compensation. To
commit this work to cheap people is
like employing cheap doctors, cheap
lawyers or cheap school teachers. 1t
involves the danger of sacrificing the

The report also contains statistics

have to supervise in order to give

TIE week wore away. The Cranes
were tortured and envied; they slept
the sleep of the damned, but everyone
pointed them out during the day as
the people occupying the celebrities
room.
Old Mrs. Starch was the fifth Of the
generations to occupy the old Starch
mansion. 1t had housed all the lead
ing men of Revolutionary and Colonial
times. In short, Mrs. Starch, when
she was left impoverished, had sud-
denly struck a gold mine by converting
her home into a hotel and charging
proportionate prices.
"Well, l hope you've enjoyed your
visit, Molly" growled Jim Crane, on
the last afternoon. "One more night
in George Washington's bed and I'll
be glad to hit the hay in our own
little home"
Listen, Jim," said Molly 81 believe
Mrs. Starch would sell us Benedict
Arnolds chair for two thousand dol
lars. She hinted-"
"Two thousand! Say, that's the
limit !" yelled Jim Crane, tearing his
hair.
"But, Jim, dear, just think of having
it in our drawing-room and"
q won't fall for that stuff !" howled
Jim, and Molly, with an offended ges-
ture, sailed out Of the room, leaving
him in despair
He knew that she would have her
way. 1t was a clear waste Of two
thousand honest dollars. Left alone,
he stared at the chair, which leered
back at him with it's crooked arms
and splay legs sprawling.
With sudden uncomfortable anger
Jim Crane raised his shoe-tree and
brought it down, smash, smash, upon
Benedict Arnold's chair.
The chair collapsed into brittle sec
tions. Startled by the sounds, Molly
and Mrs. Starch came running in.
They screamed.
"Jim, what have you doneY'
Jim grabbed Molly by the arm and
pointed to something lying among the
debris.
"See that pocket-knife?" he asked
grimly. "That's mine. I lost it down
the back of the seat five years ago,
when that chair belonged to me, be-
fore l sold off our old junk to Cohen.
That chair cost $10.95 f. o. b. Grand

"THIS is the room occupied by Gen

up, old landlady.
Looks like an ordinary room to
me- grunted Jim Crane.
"Oh, James, how perfectly sWeetV
exclaimed his wife enthusiastically.
Just think Of our sleeping in the
room Washington slept in after the
battle Of Trenton. Who else slept
here, Mrs. Starch"
This room,' piped Mrs. Starch in
melancholy tones, lis called the celeb
rites room. 1t has been occupied by
Lincoln, General Grant and Edgar AL
Ian Poe at various times. This chair
is one Benedict Arnold once sat down
in"
"Oh, Jim, do look at Benedict
Arnold's chair! Isn't it dear?' cried
Molly.
well, they can say that James
Crane also sat down in this chair
grumbled her husband, planting him.

Jim, you are SO unromantic-"
Seventy bucks week, just to say
we've sat down in B. Arnold's chair
and slept in the room occupied by"
But that bed was slept in by Gen
eral Washington after the battle of
Trenton" exclaimed Molly. Just
think of it, James It's something to
be proud of all ones life, to say one
slept in the bed Washington slept in"
Jim Crane grunted without answer
ing. He had too much common sense
to respond. He knew his wife was
crazy on the subject Of antiques.
Besides, the little country inn, which
looked no better than a small farmers
cottage, was packed with the wealthy,
indulging in the luxury of residing in
the same house as Washington, Grant,
Lincoln, Edgar Allan Poe and Benedict
Arnold. But of all the guests none
eQualed the Cranes, who were envied
and esteemed-for they had the celeb
rites room.
"All l got to say" grunted Jim
Crane next morning, that if Washing
ton, Lincoln, Grant, and Edgar Allan
Poe occupied that bed they must have
slept mighty badly"
Now, Jim, you are horrid!" ex-
claimed Molly. "You know perfectly
well in those days they had great soft
feather mattresses"
"Humph!" said Jim Crane. "Still,
I'm not surprised B. Arnold preferred
to sit up all night in that chair. 1t
doesn't look like very old chair to
me-"
In fact he had a curious sort Of idea
that he had sat in that chair before.
He dared not tell Molly, however, be-
cause he knew she would tell him it
was reincarnation.
