Yes. indeed I acquiesced, won i dering if he thought me so obtuse as to believe that the surplus Of flowers at each ordering was unintentionaL But naturally l gave no hint Of my ! speculation. as Mir. Neritzon with exquisite courtesy ushered me to the
 door of the building, and across the sidewalk into his waiting car.
 Through the park Otto," MT. Feritzen said. when the chauffeur
 had seen us into the luxurious limou- sine. then across to the Drive and up the length of It. At Broadway, I'll tell you what to do.'
 Otto touched his cap and, mount
 ing to his seat, sent the car skilfully along through traffic. My employer leaned his head back against the seat with the nearest approach to cff-g guard relaxation I ever had seen
 in him.

 he said. Will you forgive me if close my eyes for just q minute 2" "Of course" l told him, and his long. black, almost womanish eye lashes. in such striking contrast to
 his silver hair, swept his checks as if he were fatigued to the point of exhaustion.
 For a second or two I looked with
 steady scrutiny at him, glad of the only opportunity I ever had had 10 look at him when he was off guard
 Then with little embarrassed flush there came to me the conviction that
 beneath those long lashes, he was
 returning my look, and that l was mistaken in my hypothesis that he vas off-guard. Never until stricken

 us and Otto was sending the car
 along at a good pace. He turned into Fifth Avenue just before the sign was set against him and drew up close to bus from which a familiar
 figure vas descending. I caught my
 breath as the figure passed so close to the car that if it had been open I could have touched him and looked for a startled instant into ] Dicky's eyes.

Ina, Little Drive With Philip Verit.
 zen and Its Climax


 If there had been any impress. ment In Philip Feritzen's manner when he asked me to take a little motor ride with him before going home. any sounding of the person al note which I had noticed in the days before his encounter with Hugh Grantland. l should have refused the invitation. And l am sure that If plcky's illness had continued. l should have barred everything that kept me from his side a moment longer than was necessary.
 But the great producers tones held only the careless invitation he would have given any man or woman among his associates who happened to be in hls office when he was ready to depart for home, " nile Dicky's complete restoration to health gave me no opportunity for conscientious twinges about neglecting him. Indeed. the inexpli- cable coolness and air of resentment and worse-which he was daily exhibiting toward me, made me vel come gladly the diversion which 8 motor ride - always my favorite recreation-offered

 hoped that my face did not be- tray which I just had remembered. that my last motor drive had been with Hugh Grantland. upon the day when my employer had been so rlqued because I refused 10 give up the drive for the "conference" he had invented upon the spur of the moment. If MT. Eeritzon sensed what ] was thinking, he gave no evidence or his knowledge.
 Then l am indeed, fortunate" he sad with the impressive gallantry which always invests his every 1tterance. 'I like to feel that l am giving my friends pleasure, But you are forgetting your roses"

Wnsome Bluebird and Mrs. Win some, with the blue Of the sky on their backs. were back in the Old orchard. It seemed to Peter Rabbit that Winsome Bluebird never had looked so handsome and that never had Winsome's soft whistle sound cd so sweet. None Of his feathered friends are more beloved by Peter Rabbit than are Winsome and Mrs. Nlnsome.
 Hardly had they arrived from the sunny South when they started house hunting. There were several houses in the old Orchard put there by Farmer Browns Boy. There were two or three over near Farmer Browns house Each of these had to be looked at. Then there was q hole in q certain fence post and there was an old home of GoldenWing the Flicker in q certain tree on the edge Of the Green For est, close 10 the Old Orchard. speckles the Starling had had an eye on this, but it was rather far thcr from Farmer Browns than spcckles wanted to build. But Win some and Mrs. Winsome had to have. a look at it. You see. this picking out Of a home is a very i'm portant matter with the feathered folk.
 Peter Rabbit. who never does anything he doesn't have 10 do, couldn't understand all this looking Hbout. T don't sec" said he to Wiusome, why one house isn't as good as another. All you want Of a house IS a place in which to raise q family and when family has been raised what difference does it make what sort Of a house they were raised iu? I should think any place uoulI be good enough, so long as fEo hauias are protected"

AlRPLANE LITERATURE
 GOING LIKE HOT CAKES

The Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce yesterday got the hunch that it would be good idea to print some greeting cards from Seward Peninsula. to go out on the airplane which will arrive here in day or two. It seemed that 1000 would be enough to supply this small community. 1000 were printed. but they went so fast that it was found necessary to print an additional thousand, and they are also going like hot cakes. These greeting cards are free. and are the compliments of the Chamber of Commerce of Nome. It is suggest ed by the Nugget that every one send at least one of these greeting cards from Nome and Seward Pen insula to some civic or municipal organiza tion in the town from which they come in the States.
 It is desirable to have a compe- tent consignment of mail on the airplane.
 Envelopes, with suitable cut. aad return address in the uppe' left hand corner. have also beeu point ed. and are free, except .,: the postage stamp
 Another suggestion whicE tle Nugget has to offer, IS that ever. business house in Nome send cre of these greeting cards to ta> :! business correspondent in the Sta.es to demonstrate Alaska's need ol air mail service.
 Postmaster Winkler wishes to caution the public that only frs class. letter mail will be accepted by the Postofiice Department fol dispatch on the airplane mail.
