LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT,
CONTINUED

After writing the foregoing pages,
Jack, went back and read again
the first Of your letter.
expect it was perfect natural
set of circumstances that made your
first glimpse Of Leslie when YOU
reached her fathers house just be-
fore he died SO tragic.
l know it was perfectly mas
culine idiosyncrasy for you to think
that Leslie would be awaiting you
even when she had no idea that you
were coming that day. or for that
matter coming at all. You must re-
member that you had not written
her since she left after your quar-
rel with her. and l presume that
she went to that party purposely
to forget her unhappiness at your
neglect.
I rather smiled at that part Of
your letter which was written before
your fatherin-law's death. for l
could just imagine how you, Jack,
who have always had an idea that
Iue WOlIlcu W "uOul sOu nave pOlu
any attention were always after
awaiting your lordly pleasure, must
have felt. You had a kind of an
idea that Leslie was spending her
time at her fathers sick bed and
weeping in her room, now didn't
you? The sight of her call dolled
up with the damned pearls around
her neck" made you furious. l think
at that that it was good for your
soul, Jack, although you could not
help showing mean selfish jeal-
ousy when she arrived looking her
lovcliest.
was really glad when you got
yours from that circle comb when
Lcslics head bumped into your eye
and hope in my Utmost soul that a
cold fear clutched your heart when
you found that your wife had
tainted. ~

stood. old man, am going to say
that do not think that Leslie has
ever had fair deal from you from
the time you left her just before
the wedding to fix up with Paula
Perier until this minute, > when
through her you have been catapult-
ed into business which is going
to make. you a very wealthy man.
| think if l had wife as sweet
and dear as yours, / would spend at
least part of my time making her
happy instead of all the time show
ing the worst side of my damnable
egotism and execrable vanity to her.
1t must have been one of the most
dramatic situations when just as
Leslie told you that she was going
to have; baby, that little Jack was
heard calling: 81 want my muvver."
However, don't think that you
need worry for either your son or
Leslie if you just stay out Of it and
those about her will leave her alone.
There has been altogether too
much fuss made over the fact that
Leslie might have children and then
would feel sorry that she had adopt
ed little, Jack. Personally l do not
think that she will ever know any
difference in her love for either, the
one she bears Or the one she chose
to make her own.
l have always found, Jack, in your
case, that your assertiveness will
make you do the assinine personal
thing if there is any chance of it
being done. l am glad, however,
that now through the death of her
father you and Leslie have become
reconciled.
See that you do your part in the
future and I am sure your wife will
do hers to make your home happy.
l will meet you in Albany day
after tomorrow. sgd.

New York, Nov. s.-The first in
New York to know that Christmas is
coming are the bootleggers and the
bootleggers' customers. Today boot
leggers were notified of increases Of
Sc to $40 case. This means an in
crease of SO cents a bottle to the ul-
innate consumer.
Scotch whisky brought in from
Rum Row is now $48 a case whole
sale. The retail bootlegger clears
only SO case at that price.
There are several thousand places
in New York where liquor can be
purchased, apparently with little or
no danger of arrest.
The other day l saw man pass
through the subway turnstile at the
Pennsylvania Station, carrying sew
eral bundles. One of the bundles
dropped, but the man hurried on with
no attempt to pick it up. A moment
later liquid poured from the fallen
bundle and I smelled rum.
The great stone steps of the Penn
sylvania Station, built only decade
ago, are quilted and guttcred by the
passing of innumerable feet. Wood
en- steps laid over the stone steps of
the postoffice, across the street, have
stood four years wear with hardly

any evidence Of the heavy traffic
they have carried.
The Pennsylvania Station is more
impressive in its size than the Grand
Central but the latter is more ornate.
The Grand Central was built over
the old structure without one trainI
being delayed in arrival or depart
ure.
Sec-Sawing up and down Broadway,
saw David Belasco, with skin pink
and soft like a babes and hardly
wrinkle on his face. Several years
ago was told he wouldn't live long
Saw Ethel Barrymore, who
seems to grow bigger and bigger
every time see her. Saw
Florence Mills, negro actress who is
starred in musical revue. Less
than four years ago she was an OBJ
scure member Of 1.-THE Tcnnessccl
Ten," a vaudeville act. Since then
she has toured Europe and has been
recognized as an artist. Saw
an immense movie sign occupying
city property in the middle of Times
Square. A movie press agent couldn't
get away with that in any Main
Street town. Saw first tramp
in months. He had several bundles
tied around his belt under his coat.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN PEAK

"Now thcn,' said Daddy Gander
when he and the Twins were safely
seated on the magic dust-pan, "take
us to the House That Jack Built"
Instantly the dust-pan started
away again in the direction of the
big cloud, where the house had set

bat to their surprise the dough no
longer stuck out Of the windows. In
stead, delicious smells greeted their
noses. Smells of bread baking.
What can it be-" cried Daddy
Camden. ITS the very queerest thing
ever heard of in all my life"
1.-The best way to find out" said
Nick wisely, "is to go inside"
"Certainly! Certainly" said Daddy
Gandcr. what wise child you
are!"
So they all stepped off the magic
dust-pan onto the cute little front
porch and tapped three times on the
door.
And who should open it but the
cook himself The cook of the King
of Yum Yum Land.
But he SMILED and SMILED and
snitflcd-the tears running down his
cheeks like Tom Tom after he had
stolen the pig and got a beating.
"Oh, goodness he said with an
other sniffie. "Come in
"Havc you been skinning onions ??
asked Nancy.
"No-o-o! 1t isn't onions" said the
cook. Its sorrow. I'm crying be-
cause I'm sad"
"I'm SAD because 1 baked up some
dough | found here in the house all
ready for the oven, and it's so deli
cious, and I've nobody to serve it to!
/ can't go back to the palace because
the kings gone and the peddler who
took his place ordered my head chop
ped off,"
"Why. yes you can," said Nancy.
THE king got his throne back. He
put on his crown and his robe and
went back to the castle just little
while ago"
"Oh, then, if you'll please excuse
me, I'll be taking my baking and
leave at once" said the cook. "And
don't even want the magic fork.
All | want is my job back and some
one who appreciates good food"
But how are you going to get
thcre?" asked Nick.
WELL" said tho cook thoughtfully
looking down at the earth. Il could
jump"
mo such a thing!' said Daddy
Gandcr. "Put your baking into a
basket and I'll take you down myself.
! know Mrs. John won't care about
you using up her bread dough. She
will only be too glad to get her house
back"
SO the cook did as the old gentle
man said, and put the baking into Il
basket and they got onto the magic
dust-pan and started toward the
earth where they could see the king
castle far below.
Nancy and Mex started to look
over the House That-Jack- Built. They
pokcd into all the corners and all the
cupboards and opened and shut all
the drawers and had grand time
waiting for Daddy Gandcr to come
back to take them and Jacks house
back to Mother Goose Land.
They never noticed that wind
had sprung up and started to blow
the cloud very rapidly through the
sky.
When they looked out Of the win
dow the cloud was disappearing in
the distance having left the House
That-Jack- sticking on top of
the highest mountain in the world.
Yum Yum Land had disappeared al
together.

Maine Has Clean
Record for Bovine
tuberculosis 1924

Maine may we'll be proud of Its
record in combating bovine tuber-
culosis as shown by the report just
issued for the fiscal year 1924 by the
bureau of animal industry of the T..
S. department of agriculture.
During the year 1850 herds, con-
tanning 63,135 head of cattle were
tested in the cooperative work; 349
herds containing 712 infected ami
mails were found, showing 1900 OK
infection.
No other state north Of Ohio or
east of Mississippi has such a clean
record as Maine for bovine tubercu-
losis in the fiscal year. DR.. j. l..
Reidy, federal inspector in charge Of
tho cooperative inspection work in
Maine. declared yesterday that this
is bound to make a good market for
our high grade cattle. Maine has
tested a larger percent of its total
cattle population than any north
eastern state.
The report shows the following per
centage of tuberculosis infection
found in cattle of other states:
Massachusetts, 1873; New Hampshire,
"a: Vermont 5.5: New York. 11.5:
Connecticut, -. The state having
| the lowest percentage of infection
was Wyoming with $40 of 1It. but II

ton as did Maine. for the total num-
