After travelling a nile and having
passed several brick houses with
cedars in front" was still wonder
ing where the circus headquarters
were located when an overall sales
man came within hailing distance.
Are you looking for the winter
quarters, lady" he asked. I told
him I was; also I would like to know
something about the trail If he
would tell me.
Frances Slocum, he said, was a
white girl stolen by the indians. Her
brothers and sisters found her after
many years of search, but she had
grown to womanhood, married an
Indian and refused to return 10 her
white relatives. She died in the In
dian village near Peru.
This trail along the river is the
one Frances Slocum often followeS
and it has been named in honor of
her." stated the overall salesman.
asked why the city Of Peru did not
have a guide post at the turn to
mark the trail ooh, politics and
stubborness mixed, I guess"
Then in low tone he added
Peru is the talkingest city in the
world. 1t has more phones per cap
tia than any other city"
Circus Quarters Next
He carried me to the winter quar-
ters of the three circuses, which,
it is said, house the largest collec-
ton of wild animals in captivity dur
ing the winter months.
Leaving him, 1 hiked along the
trail, which is no doubt one of the
prettiest in the State. Surely the
Indians chose well when they Sc
lected the shores of the Wabash for
their homes. The highway follows
the river bank, which, at this time
of year, is colorful with wild flowers,
and the views up stream and down
are well worth the trip to sec

Breakfast-Chilled cantaloupe,

Luncheon-Jellied bouillon, crisp

bread, cup custard, milk, tea.
Watermelon cocktail,
broiled porterhouse steak, creamed
potatoes, buttered peas, sliced to-

This is an excellent dinner for com
pany on a hot evening. The broiling
of the steak entails as little heat as
possible to cook meat, the potatoes
are reheated in the cream sauce and
the peas will cook while setting the
table and broiling the steak. The
cocktail is prepared in the morning
and kept on ice until needed, the
dessert is made in the morning and
the tomatoes are dipped into boiling
water and pared the first thing when
preparing dinner. Rechill in the re-

Paula left before Dick came. He
went directly to Bees room, In
about an hour he came out and said
"Bee wants you"
When I looked at her I knew that
it was nearly over. Her voice, how
ever, seemed quite strong, although
she did not open her eyes.
Sally" she said, II want you to
know that I have asked Dick to
marry Paula, and have given my
little girl to her. She has promised
me to take her home right after
am put away from mortal sight.

will be very happy together, and ]
know she will make better mother
than I would.
1T was very sweet Of you to come
out here, Sally, and I want you tc
STAY a while after I am gone-until
Dick gets used to the loneliness OF
doing without me.
"IIe is used to having me around,
you see, Sally, and he will be very
lonely when he hasn't me on his
mind"
She didn't say anything more until
Dick came in, when she asked him
to take her in his arms.

his arms as though she were baby
and she nestled down in them with
a contented sigh. There was not a
sound in the room except Bees
somewhat labored breathing.

came shorter and shorter, and all at
once L became conscious that was

I stepped forward. Dick sensed
also that the body he was holding
had sunk down littleA Turning, he
laid Bee gently down on the bed. AS
he looked on her sculptored face he
gave a shuddering sigh, bent down
and placed a kiss on each closed eye
The nurse drew up the sheet over
Bees head, and in a moment or two
we left the room.
AS we stepped through the door
Dick and I, he broke down.
Leslie, did you ever hear a grown
man sob? 1t was the first time 1 had
ever heard it, and I tell you it was
the most terrible thing to which ]
had ever listened. He threw him,
self down ON the sofa, and there ]
left him, thinking that the kindest
thing L could do would be to leave
him alone with his great grief.
Pretty soon he came out to the
garden where 1 was sitting and said,
in such a hurt tone:
"Sally, did you know that Bee
