lovingly about a mouth organ, up- on which he was playing The Banjo Song" with gentle under standing. In a corner four people were playing bridge.
 Drop your things on a chair, " Sam told Freddy
 Freddy took off his coat, revealing a rather-worn suit. Looking at Sam he wondered why she wanted money for clothes. That green thing she was wearing was smart. It might be her figure was responsi- ble, for she was tall and slim. She was pretty, too. Sam's eyes were deep blue with almost purple lights.
 Sam led Freddy across to the tall man, and said: Fourth, stop playing that thing long enough to let me present Freddy Munson. Freddy, this is my amiable step father. His name is William Fenton Aldersea Fourth. Don't forget the Fourth. it's important"
 William Fenton Aldersea, Fourth, was well over six feet in height and almost incredibly thin. Tan whipcord riding brooches accen- tuated his lean thighs and bony knees His hair, eyebrows, and his dropping mustache were shaggy and snow-white. His nose was of Roman cast, and his eyes were very blue and piercingly bright.
 He extended a large hand to Freddy Munson?" he said with thought. There was a family of Munsons in Wilmington, but, as I remember it, they didn't hunt"
 I'm afraid I don't know the Munsons of Wilmington, MT. Alder sea-" said Freddy. Father is min- ister of a small Unitarian church in Hartford He smiled grimly. He doesn't hunt, either"

They explain that the kings horses were accustomed to the royal march" and do not like the Hymn of Riego," a less martial tune, which is used as official song of the republic.
 There were 250 fine mounts in the group and in common with other denizens of the royal stables they have fallen from their high estate.
 Alfonso's racing string was first to go to the auction block, then 60 high steppers, former proud haulers of royal carriages, followed.
 Thirty aged veterans, unfit for the farm or delivery wagon work which fell to the lot of their younger companions, were sold to bull ring contractors. Their fate was death in the arena from the sharp horns of bulls.

Sam introduced the others, who, glancing up in the abstracted man. ner of bridge players, murmured greetings.
 Then she announced, T have just attended the Rudges' Christ mas tea. It must be treated with due solemnity in the Express, for MT. Rudge is one of our largest advertisers. The Rudges are be- coming social leaders"
 MT Aldersea snorted indignant ly. "Rudge's father ran a junk business"
 I'm afraid the Rudges will never attain my stepfather's social regis ter" Sam told Freddy. He has been compiling one, and only 20 people, not including myself, have been approved. Let's see what we can find to eat-not to say drink. '
 Said Fourth Aldersea mildly, The ginger ale is all gone. Peak Abbott is out hunting for more"
 Sam pointed to the door. "Go through there, Freddy. and see what's in the ice box" When he had gone, Sam turned to her step- father. Did you give Peak money for the ginger ale?"
 Why, mo-" Aldersea's eyes wan dered away. Tt didn't occur to me"
 The door opened, and Peak Alp bolt came in: a tall young man ir a coonskin coat. He waved at Sam Back again." he said with satis- faction, hearing rich gifts"

Will you take part in an ab- stract argument?" Sam sad. About marriage. Do you think anyone is justified in marrying for money?" T say no." Freddy answered firmly. Money isn't important. Freedom matters most"
 Money is the important thing, but money and freedom go to- gether."
 T haven't a cent, but do what I please" Freddy exclaimed.
 You and I are two different people" said Sam. Your freedom comes from lack of responsibili- ties; my bondage from a severe lack of money"
 Freddy leaned back in his chair. This argument is drifting away from the abstract. We're talking now about you and me"
 Sam shrugged. Let's change the subject"
 All right. Let's talk about the boy publisher He's in love with you,' said Freddy calmly
 Really! Now. Freddy, reallyI
 You're thinking have a terrible nerve said Freddy. But lool here, Sam Sherrill, or Joan. q want to say something. want tt say I like you"
 Sam smiled T like you too Freddy, from the little I've seen.
 Good. Then we're friends. Wh, beat about the bush? I've said tha Peak Abbott is in love with you Are you going to marry him?"

Sam hesitated "Yes. I suppose am-some day. Peak is an eXcep- tionally nice person.
 The catch being" continued Freddy relentlessly, that you don't love him."
 Peak Abbott himself chose this moment to appear at the door Don't let me interrupt any jour- nalistic discussion he said pleas antly. T just came to say, Sam, that if you write your story about the Rudges' tea here I'll take it over to the office with me"
 The story was finished at last. Peak and Freddy departed for the city. Sam played bridge with her guests until they left at eleven o'clock, when she said goodnight to Aldersea.
 Ten minutes later Sam answered the telephone beside her bed. A voice said: 'Is that you, Sam? Don't be alarmed. This is just Freddy"
 I'm not alarmed" she replied. I'm merely sleepy What is the trouble?"
 Nothing" said Freddy. T just called to ask you to promise not to marry Peak Abbott"

Enjoy Thanksgiving Day
By Planning Meal Ahead

Thanksgiving dinners are often en-
joyed by everyone except the house.
wife. Working feverishIy through the
morning to have everything perfect,
the housewife finds herself too tired
to enjoy either the dinner or the day.
Most of the hustle an last minute rush
Of preparing the Thanksgiving dinner
can be eliminated by little careful
planning several days before the
event." declares Miss Lorna Barber,
extension nutritionist, washington
State College.
"set aside a morning well In advance
Of Thanksgiving and plan the menu.
Study the menu and make out a list
Of the staples needed SO that they
may be ordered several days In adj
vance. It will also be well to decide
upon the kind and size Of bird you
wish to grace the table, so that the
bird will be available the day before
Thanksgiving:
Checking up on the linen, table
cloth, napkins, table decorations, sill
yer, glass, china and other accessories
several days beforehand will prove a
valuable time saver After being
checked, the silver, glass and other
pieces may be polished so that they
will be in readiness for the Thanks
giving table, If the table is to be
crowded, the salad may be served with
the main course and the salad fork
omitted. If this is done, the salad is
placed to the right.
MANY items on the menu can be
prepared the day before the dinner.
The fowl may be dressed and stuffed,
the vegetables prepared ready for cook
ing, the salad assembled and the minis
made. Each task done in advance
leaves more time the next morning to
set the table and put the finishing
touches on the dinner.
Much time can also be saved by
the selection of a simple menu OF
dishes which are easily prepared. There
are many tasty and attractive dishes
which can be quickly prepared and are
just as suitable as the more elabor-
ate. The same principle can likewise
be applied to table decorations. An
ornate centerpiece is not necessity
for the full enjoyment Of the Thanks
giving dinner.

BY Lucy Strong McManamon
One sunny day we pitched our tent
Out on the treeless prairie
We thought we had found paradise
Right near the White Bluffs Ferry.
We came DER hill and valley
AS early as 1892
Uncle Sam was good to us
For he gave us our homesteads too.
SO we builded us cabin
In the spring of 1894
That year the water kept on raising
Until it ran in at the door.
There were but neighbors few,
Hoffman, Craig and Brice,
Gabel, Crawford and Jordy Williams,
But their friendship had no price.
We had no conveniences of today
But we were quite content
When we gathered for picnic
1t was quite a social event.
It's been nearly forty years,
Since the first school bell rung
And we fastened to the Kent cabin
To greet our teacher Mary Young
We had no tennis or basketball,
That were governed by rules or laws
But down the hill we'd race at noon,
To play good old game of jack
StraWS.
Just five little rocks we used
Of size and shape the same,
But we had the best Of times
For we took pleasure in our game.
In those days was formed friendship
Which has lasted through the years,
We have not had all sunshine
We have had our share of tears.
In those days the ferry
Crossed in sunshine or shower;
Then twas run by Pete and Ginger,
Now it's run by engine power
Then our little circle was broken
When George his VOWS did plight.
He took from us our comrade,
When he took dear Minnie Wright.
Then Roy came among us
And our little friend did WOO,
And in few short months
Percie had left us too.
Lucy was the next to leave us
For one day she rode away;
Jim had taken her to Grab Greek
And she's ne'er come back to stay
Then along came Bill Beldin,
Just to choose our good "Old Pal"
This sure cut down our number
When he claimed Lottie as his gal.
Now was left our Hattie
But she cared naught for that
For it wasn't very long
Till she Joined her friend Matt.
Now alone stood Irvie
Till one day Mamie came
So they joined hands together
For they said twas in life's game.
The old log houses are the landmarks
Where these friends so often
gathered.
And the links of friendship there
welded
BY the years have neer been severed.

chief mission of the heavy artillery
was to destroy all of the enemy's rail-
road crossings, bridges, munition dumps
and all important roads. The military
police took care of all prisoners ia
ken in action and also in directing
troops as to which roads to use in
getting to the front. The quartermaster
provided us with food, clothing, and
bedding. The ordnance repaired all
broken guns, tractors, trucks and in
struments used by the artillery. The
medical department took care of sick
and wounded (and those that had been
drinking bad liquor). The airplanes
were for observation and bombing and

to be pretty good war after all, but
we're all wondering about China.

Tragic Secrets Known to City Dealers in Art

One Of the fascinating traditions OF
the art business-the buying and SELL
ing Of paintings in particulars that
now and then old masters actually
do turn up in secondhand shops and
in auction sales, and are discovered
and retrieved at a fraction Of their
real value.
But George w. Keller, now retired.
reveals another side Of the business.
He says:
"One learns to keep secrets in this
business. The auctioneer often opens
closets which hold old family skele-
tons. But he must not tell. / was

a poor old woman, aged-the wreck

screamed like q mad thing. It was
