BirdelI A Popular Place

One Of the most popular spots for
outings in this section of the state is
at the dam on Elevenpoint at Birdell.
There is only a small amount of
space that can be used for parking,
spreading lunch, etc. and practically
every inch of it was utilized last Sun
day. About % cars filed with picnlck-
ers were there during the day.
The spot is ideal for bathing, there
being water, both shallow and deep, in
abundance and other features that
make this sport pleasure.
Cars with license plates issued in
Illinois, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Mis-
ouri mingled with the Arkansas cars
there Sunday and there was a very
noticeable feeling Of comradesnip
among the pleasure seekers.

his bill and seemed to be swallowing air Then followed a lot of curious motions with his neck.
 My goodness!" thought Danny. That fellow must be sick. Yes, sir he must be sick. Perhaps he has swallowed a fish and it has stuck in his throat. That's the way he acts. There, I guess he has swallowed it now"
 The bird was once more standing with his bill pointing toward the sky. To see him you wouldn't have supposed he could move. Danny had been so interested in the perform ance of this bird that he had quite forgotten about those queer noises. Now he began to look about hastily for the maker of them. But there was no one else to be seen. Danny looked very carefully this way and that way, but no one else was to be seen. Finally he glanced back at this brown stranger. "Goodness!" ex- claimed Danny. He must be swal- lowing another fish, or frog, or something" You see, just as Danny looked, the bird began to go through all those queer motions again. Danny actually felt sorry for him. He won dered if perhaps a fish has stuck in his throat and would neither go lny Ia rti dering when it dawned on him that all those strange noises were com ing right from where that bird stood.
 Danny opened his eyes very wide and stared in the rudest manner. No one saw him staring, so it didn't matter but 1t was rude just the same. The bird stopped his queer motions, as if at last what had stuck in his throat had gone down. In stantly the noise stopped, too. After a wait of few minutes the bird began his queer motions again, and then Danny heard the strange noises once more. Danny Meadow Mouse walked up.
 q do believe" he cried, in that squeaky little voice of his. that that is the stake-driver, and the bumper, and the maker of all those queer sounds"
 "Of course" said a voice close to him. Didn't you know that? I could have told you that" It was Peep the Least Sandpiper,
 'No. I didn't know it." replied Danny, "and I have run a long way to find out. Who is he anyway"
 Tt is Pumper the Bittern. That's who it is, Pumper the Bittern," re- piled Peep. Did you ever hear such noise from one of his size?"
 T never did" said Danny.

was there, you were there, too, for the simple reason that Perry Heath could not be there without you.f For,-sit still MT. Anderson, for you, are Perry Heath.' 3
 With a sudden swift move, Truitts was on his feet and at Anderson'sl side. .
 With a series of quick moves he l had put on Anderson's head a toupee , that covered his badness, and had, also adjusted into place a pair of shell trimmed glasses.
 Perry Heath sat before them.
 Put in you tooth," said Truitt, so sternly, that the man before him pulled from his waistcoat pocket single tooth on a plate and slipped it into the place of the missing eye tooth of Sam Anderson.
 "Oh, what a fool I was." eyclaim- cd Cunningham. That night I was here to supper Anderson had that in, and he left the table to remove it, and I never caught on that it was a disguise! But Perry Heath, I cant believe 1t or understand it."
 There is no Perry Heath" Truitt said, Tor rather, there is no Sam An derson. Do you want to tell the story, Heath, or shall F"
 There's not much to tell" Heath said sullenly. You fellows have got me, l might as well own up. I'm bad egg, but T. oh, well, I was goaded into it. I won't speak Ill of the dead, but my wife and I never hit it off. She was of the high and mighty variety, and I was a good fellow. So, I conceived the plan of being two men. It has been done before,-it isn't at all a unique in stance.
 T built up a second personality, that's all there was to it. was often away from home, down in New York. half of every week or so. Lots of the Harbor people are. So, when I wasn't at home I was mak- ing myself into Sam Anderson, man as defferent as possible from Perry Heath. Appearance first, of course. This wasn't hard, as I have a bald head, and always wear q toupee-as Heath, I mean, But, my toupees were so perfectly made and fitted, that no one but my wife ever suspected I wore one. The glasses which are capital for disguise pur- poses, are simply plain. clear glass, and no one knew that. The false tooth is natural thing for any man to have, but using it only as Heath, it helped to accentuate the difference. For the rest, the style of dress and hat and tie and all that. made two men of me. I practiccd slightly different voice, but, on the whole, it required only light dis guise, for so few Harbor Gardens people know Harbor Park people and vice versa"
 You had two separate lines of business?" Truitt asked. fascinated in spite of himself by the story.

particularly smart on account of its slim. close-fitting contour. It is Of black crcpe-satin, finished with q shallow yoke of black chantilly lace, the pointed border of which is trimmed whith rhinestones.
 In common with many models this season, the skirt if this youth full frock is considerably more elab- crate than the bodice. Two tiers of black lace flounccs split and curv- ing up in the center front, give a suggestion of flare and insure the appearance of motion so essential this season. These flounces are of tiny brilliants.
 A low waist-line is indicated by a narrow satin belt fastened in the center with cluster of gardenias.
 This youthful dinner gown is a combination of black satin and chantilly lace. .Rhinestoncs trim the rufflcs and yoke.

 T suppose" l said cooIly. that it Is the same sort Of comment which follows a girl who lunches with an other woman's husband"
 His look of astonishment was ludicrous. Patently this side of the question had not occurred to him at all. Before he could answer me l spoke again, this time slowly, judicially.
 Dicky Is Mischieyous
 "The trouble with you, my dear husband" I said, knowing that Dicky especially dislikes being ac- costed in that manner, lis that in all your married life you have been an especially fortunate gander, be- cause your particular goose never has objected except sporadically to the sauce of filtration and attentions to other women which you have served her"
 'Sporadically' is good" Dicly in- terposed with one of his lightning changes from anger to mischief, but went on. ignoring his interruption.
 But in the last few weeks" I went on. the goose has made up her mind that it may benefit her gander to partake of the same sauce develop his patience and his for bearance, as it were. In other words, my dear Dicky, as long as you lunch with other women I shall accept similar attentions from any man I choose. I'll go further than that. It does not make any differ ence to me whether you phIander or not. I shall accept whatever in vitations I choose without consulting you. I do not recall that you ever asked my permission to take an attractive woman to lunch"
 A peremptory knock upon the door prevented Dicky's answering. He sprang to his feet and went to the door. A telegraph messenger stood outside holding a white en- yelope.
 "Cablegram for Mrs, Graham" he said.
 Dicky looked at me with a sheer.
 T suppose that's from dear Hughie, the faithful Fido," he said.

mind to go back. Presently he stole forward just wee bit. and stopped. He kept doing this until he was where he could see clearly the shore in that little cove. At first he saw no one, for you see he was looking for one of those two-legged crea- lures called men. But presently a motion caught his eye. Danny had rubbed his eyes two or three times that morning, but now he rubbed them again. There, close to the grass, stood a brown bird. Had 1t not been for that motion Danny never would have seen him in the wide world. His bill was pointed right straight up at the sky and when he was motionless he didn't look like a bird at all. In fact, he looked more like an old brown stick than anything.
 But as Danny watched, this fel- low went through queer per formance To begin with, he opened
