Ooddy's Real Good
Time Is at Seaside

Perhaps the jolliest thing about the
seaside Is the taste 1t gives father for
real hard work. AS every married
woman knows, 1t is as much as she
can do at home to get father to pick
up tack hammer, and then she has
to watch him to see that he doesn't
put 1t down again.
Set him down by the seaside, how
ever, and let him hire one Of those hut
arrangements o. the beach known as
bungalows, and he will enjoy himself
for hours hanging up pictures and cur
tains, and fixing up shelves and brack-
cts that are too small to hold anything,
and would collapse II they were not.
The rest Of the time he spends trying
to light the patent stove. But he Ii
quite happy.
1t is truly astonishing how people
who grow rerocious about the lack Of
accommodation In modern houses, can
spend two weeks or more In quartees
not much larger than the kitchen In
the house they have LEFT. They may
be grumblers at home IN rainy weather.
but when 1t rains at the seashore they
cheerfully stop up the cracks in the
roof and walls with bits Of newspapers,
and they sit and sniff camphor and say
how awful 1t Is to think that this time
next week they'll be back home

"Eiraf', Roada

There probably will be all sorts Of
rivalries and disputes in the near fu-
ture over the question Of precedence
among American railroads, Just as
there were few years ago over the
date and identity Of the first steam
boat. 1t seems not unlikely that the
honor will have to be divided and dis
tributed according to the interpreta-
ton Of the term. The first road on
which vehicles ran on rails was per-
haps that on Beacon hill, In Boston,
in 1907. The first road to employ
steam power seems to have been the
27-mile stretch built by the Delaware
& Hudson Canal company In 1927
from Honesdale to Carbondale, Pa.
The first road to carry passengers was
probably the Baltimore 4 Ohio, which
In May, $780, began running from Bal
timore to Ellicott's mill, 10 miles, by
horse power.-New York Herald

Bells in Early Days
Served as Totrn Clock

In Holland and Belgium. about the
middle Of the Fifteenth century, when
timepieces were rare, and the people
were much more dependent upon the
town clock for knowledge Of the time
of day or night, it became a custom,
as a premonitory signal. to precede the
striking Of the hour by a short auto
matte Ginning on three or four small
bells hung in the clock tower.
AS this town and that sought to sur
pass its neighbors, the bells were In
creased in number and the musical
scale Of tones and halftones thus be-
came complete. Brief melodies be-
gan to be heard at the hour and the
half honr, and with the addition Of
still more bells came. at these d.
visions, whole tunes played upon three
or even four octaves Of bells. All
this playing was automatic.
Then came the adoption Of the key
board, similar to that of the organ
with each key representing bell note
and readily responding to the art OF
the accomplished musician. Soor
pedals were devised to play The
heavier bells.
Thus, in the course Of two or three
centuries, was developed the carlton

The valley in which Joan lived
vas fair and fertile, full of beau

her early years Joan used to run
and play over the hills with the
other little boys and girls but as
she became older she was pointed
out as different from the others,
She was more sober and thought

John W. Brooke, hardware mag
nate ana widowsr. arranges with
the Economy and Efficiency cor
poration. Limited, for scientific
management OF his household for
a period OF two months that he
will be out OF the city. He fails to
inform his three children, Con-
stance, william and Alice, about
his plans.
H. Hedge, efficiency engineer,
picked to put the order into effect,
breaks the news to the over
W h elmed heirs-to-be. Having
proved his right to remain, they
have dinner. Afterwards Hedge
orders all the servants brought be-
fore him. He produces the proxy
signed by the head OF the house
and requests close attention.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Raising his voice slightly, Hedge
proceeded once more to read aloud
that extraordinary strur en-
which began. 81, John W. Brooke"
after the fashion OF last will and
testament. He read slowly and
clearly, pausing between phrases,
In order that a full comprehension
OF his words might be obtained.
When he reached the red seal. he
looked up and folded the paper.
II am the Hedge referred to In
this document" he said. DO you
all understand IT."
The eight servants remained ST.
lent and. with one accord, glanced
at Constance.
You may indicate that you un-
derstand 1t II you really do"
said Constance quietly.
Eight heads nodded.
Every we'll" said Mr.. Hedge. Re
turn to your quarters"
The household help filed out Of
the library with funereal steps.
From the hallway 1t was possible
TO distinguish whispering, mingled
with the noise OF retreating foot
steps.
The efficiency man walked over

picked UP pen, and apparently
forgot the existence of the three
Brookes. Constance, her lips tightly
compressed. retreated to the farth-
er end OF the room and stared into
the glow OF an open fire. Billy, I'M
easily thumbing a book, finally
tossed it aside and disappeared.
The opening and closing Of the
front door accounted for his man.
euver. Alice sought consolation in
the Circassian- walnut phonograph.
She played the loudest concert rec
ords she could find, with frequent
glances In the direction of r..
Hedge.
He was naddeningly oblivious.
Curiosity overcame Alice at
length. She pretended to hunt for
q book, and the search twice car
ried her past the desk at which the
efficiency man was working, But
even two inspections did not en-
tighten her. He seemed TO be work
ing at a problem, but wholly IN
like any she had ever encountered

grams, doing sums in arithmetic,
and writing memoranda, all on the

Buster Bear stopped abruptly
and swung his head around SO as.
to look straight at Peter, what
was that remark you made, Long
ears?" inquired Buster in his
deepest rumbliest grumbliest
voice,
Nothing" said Peter hastily.
That is, nothing personal, Mr..
Bear, What a wonderful lot Of
beechnuts 1t takes to flll you up"
1T isn't matter of filing me

matter of getting enough fat under

"Humph," said Peter, ~ should
think that you would be afraid Of
getting too fat. cant imagine
anything more uncomfortable than
being too fat"
Buster chuckled right out loud.
II don't think you need worry,
Peter" said he, land I'm sure I
don't worry. l can't remember ever
having been quite fat enough. You
see. the fatter | get the better I'll

So because ! want 10 sleep good ]

hears in the winter it is a case of

But If you are awake and hun

Lillian called after him.
Easy. you idiot. Don't risk
breaking your neck. You'll need
your head on your shoulders, or
I'm mistaken"
"Did She Hurt You?"
"Ill be careful" Dicky threw
over his shoulder, but the quick
ness with which he traversed the
distance between his side OF the
house and mine, and the rapidly
with which he appeared upon the
veranda roof outside my room, told
me that he had needed no whit OF
Lillian's warning, He fairly diVed
through the window, looked Wild
" around the room, caught sight
Of me stretched out upon the bed.
and with an execration leaped to
my side and began to undo the gag
pressing into my mouth. He did not
speak until he had released me.
then he caught me In his arms, at
tempted to raise me up, but put
me back again as he saw by my
vince Of pain that my wrists were
bound to the bed. He slashed the
cords aside with his pocket knife.

eyes must have told him OF my
wonderment at his use Of the pro-

reasoning wrath which Is purely a
masculine prerogative in crises.

right" he said. THE Job bears all
the earmarks OF q maniac like that

told you, warned you, but you
wouldn't listen. Look here, this
anxiously,--"can you speak,"
made a sorry attempt, but my
bruised throat muscles baked, and
Dicky pat my head tenderly against
his shoulder.
Don't try" he said. Now ]
