Dodging the book that lunged sud-

forward out Of his chair and loomed
slowly into the light-a towering fig

lovable. Chuckling a little to himself,
he pointed to his baggy knees.
"Humph!" he said. Speaking of
tweeds, do you happen to remember,
Jimmy, the two old codgers who used
to keep the Clothing and General
Merchandise Emporium at the Four
Corners? Allard & Leeds was the
firms Christian name, I believe. Well,
this suit is Early Allard and Leeds
an almost perfect specimen!"
Through the lolling figure on the
hearth there ran suddenly a curious
little crisping of attention-like a puck
cred thread of memory Juggling, tug
ging.
"Allard? Allard?" questioned Stol-
worth. "Allard and Leeds? Leeds?
Oh. yes. of counsel" he conceded, Just
a bit abruptly. There was a girl,

confessed just how many wome he
has fallen completely in love with in
his seven years devastating absence"
Stolworth looked a little bit surprised,
stopped a minute to make a half-teas-
ing calculation On his fingers, flushed
a little.
"Only three" he admitted. "The
Princess Tchlarfa, a little floWer-girl at
Mentone-and an. English widow on the

Alice Rodleigh.

Rodleigh from his shadows.

some gusto.

"'Young wife, indeed" Knocked
Alice. II was 40 my last birthday"
And I was AS" said Stolworth.
And I was 55,' said Rodleigh.
With soft-plushy signs and a whinny-
ing yawn, the Blue Bolton setter rose
l~aboriously from the rug, stretched him
self and looked around.
LMOsT as if by preconcerted sig
nal, the Gordon settlers gold-slip-
pered ,forepaws cane down out of the
Swallowed chair, the Irish setter hump
ed his tawny back, and both. dogs fol-
lowed the Blue Bolton shuffingly from
the room. A door thudded, and then the
sound of paws trampling through leaves
fingered an instant. Then silence. A
single bark. And silence again.
What in the world do they say to
each other when they all get up to-
gether and go out like that-or is 1t
something they smell that makes them
SO anxious to go?" asked Alice.
TITS funny" said Stolworth, "but
when I smell anything good it makes
me want to stay!" He shifted a little
with a frankly exaggerated air of acu-
men.
Apples" he said. ct love a house

good, I mean-wholesome, you know,

ooh, I say there!" rumbled Rodleigh
What in the world are you trying te
do-make love to my wife?"
AS though yielding almost against his
will to the infectious challenge of the
humor. Stolworth tilted up his handsome
face suddenly into the light and laughed
"Oh, I say, Alice" he said, did you
ever think to tell Danny here that 7 was
more than half in love with you when
I went away?"
If Alice Rodleigh's hand, reaching
suddenly to tweak the red settlers ear,
finched any in the tweaking, the set
ter, at least, gave no sign.
"Merciful heavens!" she countered
instantly. Did you ever tell me?"
Once again Stolworth laughed.
What conceivable need was there?"
he asked. Don't women always sense
those things quite sufficiently by them
selves?"
DO they?" quizzed Alice Rodleigh.
"They do indeed" said Stolworth,
Nonchalantly he nodded toward the
shadoWy wing chair. Hear that, old
top?" he demanded. more than half

With an exaggerated air of incredul-

shadows again.
We'll, that's all very WELL" he adj
mitted. But not exactly what I ex-
pected."
What did you expect?" said Alice
Rodleigh. With an almost impudent sort
of clarity and insistence, the question
rang out. Stepping forward a little to-
ward Stolworth, she stood and faced
him, waiting. her 1.-the, facile figure
family tensed, the small face uplifted,
scarlet lips glowing, frost and fire in the
eyes, inexpressibly provocative.
Never mind what I expected" said
Stolworth. With a mock gesture of
alarm, he threw up his hands. Hi

"Woman!" ordered Rodleigh. Con

V v YELL, all I know is Just what
NA/ I read In the papers. We
wv are getting down toward the
end of Mr.. Coolidge's man
agement. Now a little later
on I want to touch more intimately on
how Mr.. Coolidge has handled the old
Ship of State. I think he has done q
mighty good job.
But today we are to deal with what
was practically his last speech. OF
course he made one to the Birds in
Florida the other day, that was just a
light, fluffy, feathered affair, about be-
ing kind to Birds, and beasts and Poll
ticians: Then on Washington's birth
day he is going to speak to Washington
and jefferson, or Washington and jack
son, or some twin name University down
along the Potomac somewhere. It cant
be much for they don't play Notre
Dame, and they have never gone to the
Coast, and we cant even recall the name
of the Coach.
But Mr.. Coolidge is going to speak to
them on Washington's birthday. Our
Public men keep Washington's and Lin
coins birthdays alive, just so they can
deliver addresses. When a man starts
in Public Life he gets him an Address"

ways, or PERPENDICULAR. There has been
more great ideas hung onto Washington
and Lincoln than they could have pos
sibly thought of during their lifetime,
even If they had thought Of nothing
but great ideas all the time. Course

He really took the job so he could 10

of melody across the saffron-tinted
keys.

she confided, just a bit difidently.
AS lightly as her finger tips, her lilt-

p ODLEIGH looked at his wife. His
~ wife looked at him. A scarcely
perceptible flicker of significance passed
suddenly between them and was gone
again.
1t was Alice Rodleigh who rallied first
to the awkwardnesS of their silence. Still
glancing half-askance at her husband,
she made reluctant answer.
What a coward one u.s." she admitted.
How hates, I rnean, to toss any

lum for the insane" she confided quite
Starkly.
"What?" cried Stolworth.
In an instant he wa on his feet, with
three startled dogs precipitated as
abruptly as himself to an attitude of
tense establishment. With an expression
on his face still starkly suggestive of
disbelief, rather than of absolute shock,
he stood and stared from one face to
the other. Then he sank heavily upon
a bench.
This thing that you tell me is-in-
credible" he said.

the room.
In a great maze of high lights and
tinkling glasses, she came back, fairly
staggering under the weight of her load
ed tray. Like an awkward boy at his
hrst party, Rodleigh stumbled to her as
sistance. Courtly as a cavalier, Stol-
worth saved the imminent disaster by a
mere gesture of the hand.
Same old Stolworth!" grinned Rod
leigh.

, worth.
With a family equivocal chuckle, Rod

chair again and drew the black setter
into his lap. The other dogs eased

Stolworth settled back against the
fender-rail, and Alice Rodleigh alone

his glass, she found the gesture Tended

For the fraction of a second, every
drop of blood in her body seemed 70

and without the slightest explanation,
she burrowed her face in her husbands
breast and began TO cry.

Appeal to Men Through
Vanity and Vainglory

Almost every woman has some
thing about her which, carefully
nurtured, will make her seem de-
sirable-not, of course, to every
man In her world, but to one or
two. The charm, which may be
anything from piquant CONVERSE
tion to good cooking, will find ap-
probation somewhere If 1t be well
displayed.
''Men are appealed to through
their vanity and yainglory even
more easily than women, which
means that most men would rather
be seen about with woman who
patiently did credit to their own
powers Of fascination than with the
worthiest creature in the world II
she had no means of making the be-
holders envy them.
There may be men who dislike
mere flirtation,' and coldly ignore
a woman who attracts, but you
will have to look for them in mon
asteries and other retired places.
They are not Of this world.

woman as one who is subject to q
hundred weaknesses and follies, and
yet remains at heart staunch
friend, a really good sort

Ailing Heart Requires
Quiet, Rest to Get Well

Take care Of your heart. You
nave only one. You give it huge
amount of work to do and it does
it without telling you how you are
mistreating 1t. But when 1t does
rebel and tells yot, pay attention
20 the warnings.
This is the advice of DIR. Louis
M. Warfield, writing in Hygeia, the
neaIth magazine published by the
american Medical association.
! Doctor Warfield describes the
evidence of worn-out heart. You
are short of breath on exertiOn
that had not previously produced
distress. You may notice that your
shoes are tight in the evenings,
but that you have no difficulty in
putting them on the next morning.
Then one day you take cold; the
next day you are short of breath,
you have a distressing cough and
yor feet are swollen.
AS soon as the symptoms are re-
neved the average person wants
20 get up, rather than go about
slowly and gradually getting back
to his usual activity. 1t would not
be unmitigated bad fortune for q
person with bad heart to have a
broken leg, too, Doctor Warfield
declares.

Butterfly Has Heart
That Beats Backward

The butterfly, immemorially the
symbol Of Inconsistency, has q heart
that often beats backward, Prof. ii.
Gerould of Dartmouth college told
the American Society Of biologists.
He has dissected numbers of these
insects, and has demonstrated this
strange behavior many times. The
heart Of an insect is in its back In
stead of its chest, and consists
merely Of an enlargement in long
blood vessel, much like the bulb
in the middle of rubber syringe
tube. A beat will start at its rear
end and travel forward, squeezing
the blood ahead Of it. After repeat
ing this several times, the heart
will pause, and then a beat will
start at the forward end, sending
the blood in the opposite direction.
o Occasionally the beat will start In
the middle, sending the blood both
ways. It seems to make no differ
ence to the butterfly.

Heroics Of Olden Days
Are No Longer Possible

Days when a brave woman could
earn the applause of the country
by yanking off her red pettic0at
and tagging a train just as 1t
neared q broken rail are over,
mostly because broken rails are
rarer and red petticoats extinct.
The New Jersey farmer who saved
a train by waving a flag and a
burlap bag, the other day recalled
those heroines of the past genera
ton to mind, and being given to
idle speculation, we tried to pic
ture the situation If modern wOm-
an should come across q broken
rail. If she removed garment
(any garment) to use as flag,
with the probabilities against her
finding one large enough to be seen,
the chances favor a horrible wreck,
because q really modest engineer
could do no less than close his eyes
and speed past. Engineers, no
doubt, favor a return of the good
old days, in the interest of safety.

Wave Speed Difference
Gives Strange Effects

Sound travels through the air at
the rate Of one mile in five seconds.
Ether waves have q velocity mil
lion times greater. This difference
causes some strange effects.
Big Ben, London's famous clock,
can be heard to strike four miles
from Westminster. Owing to the
difference between the speed or ra-
di0 and air waves, In many parts
or London 1t may be heard to strike
% times when the II o'clock signal
Is being broadcast from. Daventry

val Of four and one-half seconds
between each stroke of Big Ben.
At one mile, the first two strokes
by radio would be heard before
the first by sound waves, and after
the last by radio two would arrive
through the air. At four miles, five
would be heard by radio before
the first by sound waves, and the
last by radio would be followed
by five carried by air waves.

Chick Ration Can
Be Made at Home

Vitanines aplenty and food es-
sentials in abundance will be found
in simple ration for growing
chicks that can be prepared at
home, says the Blue Valley Cream
cry Institute, by combining milk,
yellow corn, middlings, bone meal,
oyster shell and salt in certain pro-
portions. But no single ingredient
can be left out, warns the Insti-
tute, because it takes all of them
in combination to produce the best
results.
Splendid results have been at
tanned on this particular mixture,
especially in Wisconsin where it's
