He stopped, and gazed unstead-

The sight of the two men seemed

Honey Lou unsteadily through the
maze of little tables.
Their own place was in the
Rarthest corner OF the room with
its crowd, its colored lanterns

cigarette smoke. its red-plush
divans against the wall, its noise
and its clatter.

so much as glance.

AN ANCIENT
TREE

DROBABLY the surest way to
L create a riot and place ones
neck in danger Of the moose
would be to harm q twig of the
cypress that stands in the little
church yard at Santa Maria del
Tule.
This little village Is some 90
kilometers east of oaxaca, Mexico,
SAYS Nature Magazine, and boasts
a tree that probably took root in
the soil long before history was Il
matter of civilized record. The
tree is in the Hall OF Fame for
trees with a history that Is CON-
piled by the American Tree Asso'
citation.
1t first caught the attention OF
Alexander Won Humboldt. in 1903.
Cutting a shallow hole on the out
err part of the tree, he inserted
square board on which was a
Spanish inscription. The tree
valiantly proceeded to heal the
wound So that all that is now
visible is "der Hum"
Various measurements have been
made Of this tree. One or the latest

guard OF soldiers and IN tne

CHAPTER XIII

- O1AlAeG = LII SASN444
THERE was hash for supper
that night in the little flat.
It was not common every day
hash. but a glorified dish from an
old Southern cook book.
Mrs. Huntley made it with
chicken left over from the Sunday
dinner, with green peppers, potato
and cream, ali baked to golden
brown In a buttered baking dish.
Made thus 1t was a dish ut TO
set before a king, and Honey Lou
loved it ordinarily.
But tonight when she walked
into the little hallway OF the fiat,
and the rich OdOr of 1t swept up
10 her nostrils, she made a face
like .,Grdmpy's' when he tasted
the spinach and lettuce
At supper, she could not eat.
The little, white clothed table, with
its vase Of asters. its glass dish OF
red cuYrant jelly. it's bright silver
and shining plates and cups, was
agleam in the fading glow OF the
sunset.
There are women VINO keep
house and women who make an
art of housekeeping, Mrs. Hunt
lev made an art Of her housekeep-
ing. It meant more to her than
clean beds. mended clothes and
three weIl-cooked meals a day.
No matter how simple the food
on the little round table might be,
the tabIecIoth was always spot
less. the silver shining, the vase
filled with a few fresh flowers.
Not Hungry
Tonight everything looked more
appetizing than usual. But when
Honey Lou tried to eat, the food
ciloked her.
Dear, I'm just not hungry" she
she told her mother. moving I'M
easily in her chair under the ten
der, anxious eyes. ''Mr. Wallack
made me SO nervous today. He
was as cross as a bear with
sore head. And his room smelled
Of Hniment, too. reckon It just
took away my appetite"
She sighed. Il told Donegal I'd
90 out dancing with him tonight,
and I wish I could think of some
way to get out OF it, without hurt
ing his feelings" She was sorry
now that she had invited herself
TO spend the evening with him.
After all, what would she get out
ct It?
She rolled up her napkin, slipped
II into the silver ring that Aunt
Lucy had given her for Christmas
long ago. and walked out of the
dining room.
AS she went, she heard Margaret
say quietly to her mother: THE
poor kids tired out. That's all
that's wrong with her. Remember,
she hasn't had vacation all
simmer
But Honey Lou was not titred in
that way. Her slim lovely little
body was fairly vibrant With life
and blooming with young health.
But she had reached the time
that every woman reaches sooner
or later She was tired-terribly
tired-of dashing around from one
pleasure to the next, with one
man or another.
1t was her time to fall in love
with the One Man, who should
mean everything to her To settle
down with him to the solemn and
beautiful business of being mar
ried-to living with him, belong
Ing to him.
The One Man
She had met that One Man, and
she had fallen In love with him.
And so II was tfat she looked
forward to an evening with Tim
Donegal with utter WEAKNESS.
