Even the appalled, Willie observed
that Arbutus was disconnected. She
turned weakly toward her diminutive
husband. Are you going to stand
there and let this person talk to me
that way, Willie?"
MIR. Rind gulped. "Uh-huh," he
answered dazedly. Il reckon So"
Arbutus changed tactics. What
you doing with that dog. Willie?"
"J-j-jes' walkin'," answered MIR.
Rind.
Whose dog is it?'
Again Florian stepped in. his voice
harsh and incisive. That dog belongs
to Sicily Clump!'
The spectators gasped, and Sicily
fairly wiggled with delight.
"An' not on'y that" pursued Mr..
Slappey. pressing his advantage to the
limit. but Willie requesses me to
announce that he amt gwine be
nursemaid fo' yo' dawg no longer,
less'n you pays him plenty. Also, he
has took the job of nursin' Sicily's
dawg!"
1t was then that Arbutus capitu-
lated. Her poise fed. And so did she!
AS she dashed toward her dressing
room, even Willie Rind knew that
his domestic status had changed per-
manently - and for the better.
Evening star., 1935-11-24

Florian watched Arbutus depart.
Then he slapped Willie on the
shoulder. 'Hot diggityr' he said.
PLAY yo' cards right fun now on,
Willie - an you is boss"
Slowly, with a certain dignity,
Willie and his new dog started toward
Arbutus's dressing room and the
crowd dispersed. A few minutes later
Willie visited Sicily Clump in her
dressing room. Then he returned to
his -wife's quarters. Several minutes
later he strutted into view and swag=
gered into the vicinity of Florian
Slappey.
Brother Slappey." he announced.
Il has now got two jobs. Each job is
nursin' one dawg an each will pay
me five dollars a week." And then
Willie placed in Florian's palm the
sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents.
There, Florian." said he. SIS yo'

What profit?" inquired MIR. Slap
pey.

The Fruits of a Fortune

In France. the typical commune of
Fargniers in the Aisne was recon-
structed as to its center part and its
public buildings, and the beautifus
new library was built at Rheims to
take the place of that which the
enemy bombardment had destroyed.
In Belgium, the wrecked library at
Louvain was succeeded by beautiful
new and thoroughly modern building
to care for the books and manuscripts
of the notable body of scholars as
sembled at the university in that
town. A similar service was per-
formed for the city of Belgrade in
what had been Serbia. In many other
less conspicuous ways the losses and
sufferings of the war we're in some
measure relieved. Following the es-
tablishment Of peace. the whole
energy of the Carnegie Endowment,
with the counsel and cooperation of
leading statesmen. scholars and men
of affairs in almost every land, hass
been devoted to the education of
public opinion toward the acceptance
of those policies and institutions of
international cooperation upon which
alone depend the prosperity of every
people and the peace of the world.
Andrew Carnegie's vision has not
yet been realized, but his Trustees
have not lessened their respect for his
ideals or their confidence in them. 1t is
often darkest just before the dawn,
and it may well be that the economic.
the social and the political punish
ment which vast portions of the
human race are now receiving will be
the prelude to a very different and
much brighter day.
In that Andrew Carnegie implicitly
believed and in that his faithful
Trustees believe.

Florian stared in CONSERVATION. Al
most before he knew what was hap
pening. he had draped one arm about
MIR. Rind's shoulder and was assuring
him that everything would come out
all right. He himself would force
Malignant to return the Pom. He
piloted his pitifully grateful friend
into Buds place and piled him with
barbecue sandwiches and ginger all.
1t was while Willie was alternately
eating and weeping, and Florian was
sitting with one arm about him, that
Malignant Smith entered the es-
tablshment.
Malignant stared in disbelief. Then
he heard Florian speaking - "You
just quit cryin', Willie. Us is gwine
git that dawg back fun Brother
Smith, an ;. :"
That was enough for Malignant.
There was no mistaking the genuine
ness OF Florian's sympathy for Willie
Rind. And the more he thought, the
more positive Malignant became that
he himself was playing thankless -
and somewhat absurd IT role.
Malignant was not at all astonished
to hear Florian explain that Willie
Rind was positively one of the incest

men, as personal war (duelling) and
man selling and buying slavery have
been discarded within the wide boun-
diaries of our English-speaking race,
the Trustees will please then consider
what is the next most degrading re-
naming evil or evils whose banish-
ment - or what new elevating ele-
ment or elements if introduced or
fostered, or both combined - would
most advance the progress, elevation
and happiness Of man, and so on from
century to century without end, my
Trustees of each age shall determine
how they can best aid man in his up
ward march to higher and higher
stages of development increasingly;
for now we know that man was Gre
ated, not with an instinct for his own
degradation, but imbued with the
desire and the power for improvement
to which, perchance, there may be no
limit short of perfection even here in
this life upon earth.
LET my Trustees therefore ask
themselves from time to time, from
age to age. how they can best help
man in his glorious ascent onward and
upward and to this end devote this
fund"
Surely no loftier or more stimulating
appeal could be made to any group of
American citizens charged with the
use of the income of great fund.
BY unhappy coincidence, the Car
negie Endowment for international
Peace had only just been organized
when the Great War threw its shadow
over the life of the world. Following
its close, no small portion of the accu-
mulated income of the Endowment
was used by the Trustees in recon-
structing parts of the area devastated
by the appalling conflict of 1914-l918.

Malignant shrugged. That's yo'
lookout. Gimme that Pom or git
stuck in jail"
The next few minutes were defin-
itely ghastly for Willie Rind. But in
the end he chose the lesser of two
great evils. you git the dawg." he
moaned. IAN l git kilt!'
They drove to the Cozy Home
Hotel and Willie sadly mounted the
steps. He returned in less than five
minutes hugging the Pomeranian to
his bosom. AS Willie delivered the
creature to Malignant Smith, Florian
felt profound pity for the little man;
he even contemplated weakening, but
before he could decide as to the proper
course, Malignant had driven off with
the dog.
Florian and Willie trudged up the
street together, the latter completely
and utterly desolated.
Then suddenly Willie broke down.
He leaned against the Penny Pru-
Dental Bank Building and his frail
form was racked with sobs. "Y-y-you
don't know what's gwine occur to me

1t was a lovely summer day when l
drove up to the door of her new house,
which looked most attractive, shaded
by trees and surrounded by fertile
Fields. We were greeted by her daugh-
ter and the same two little girls.

old lady herself soon came to the door,
her fine old face scanned with the lines
of living and little aged since my last
call. / asked her about her rugs, be-
cause she had made them in the
mountain cabin - beautifully braided
rugs with the colors we'll chosen - and
at once she asked if cared to come up
to the room where she kept them.
The house was old and the floors
bit wavy. but everything was scrubbed
and spotlessly clean We looked at her
rugs and, her shyness quite gone, she
told me of how. when she lived on the
mountain, a Presidents wife had
travelled up to see her one day and
brought some friends and they all
bought some Of her rugs.
Then she began to compare the old
life with the new. She missed the
mountains; she missed her old spring.
This spring was a limestone one, not
as good as the other, though she did
have plenty of water. Her man had
cut some lumber which was over at
the saw mill, and shortly they would
have some boards to make a spring
house.
They had two fresh cows and when
she had her spring house. she would
be able to make butter, which would
be great addition to their table. But
in the mountains there were all the
berries and nuts to be had for the
picking. and you felt so much freer!

and did as other people did; she had
never been out of the mountains be-
fore and had no friends here in the

asked, 'Is there no school in the
mountains?" She replied. Eyes, l went
to school, but when we were young we
were stronger and better able to bear
hardships than these younger ones" A
pointed look at me made me nod my
head and she went on: 81 never could

agreed that our generation had
perhaps been made of sterner stuff,
and then l asked if the crepe myrtle
had made the journey from the noun
tains with her. A cloud came over her
face and she told me that it would not
stand the trip and had died since she
left. But she added: II did bring some
of my flowers and l will show you
how they are growing again"
Down into the garden we went, and
looked at every plant, In a little
while there will be in this long neg
lected spot a real flower garden again,
but it will not be like the long tended
garden in the mountains, nor will the
view across the fields ever be as salts
flying as the view of the mountains
from her mountain top.
The mountain ties are strong, so the
little girls had friend who had come
down to spend the day. And the old
lady's friendliness was reaching out
already in the new neighborhood, for
in her front room by the window sat
still older woman with white hair,
busily crocheting some thread lace
collars and cuffs - beautiful work
which I paused to admire. She said

where she lived and she replied:

The need of the older woman had
soon been understood, and it was
almost inevitable that my old lady
would soon be meeting others needs.
AS turned to go with my rug over
my arm. the door opened into the
kitchen and a gentle faced, soft spoken
man came in. Il want you to meet

MIR. Smith cast a fishy eye upon

MIR. Smith shook his head. THAT

tagious, Florian. Fust he says you

didn't. And now you tell me has got

Florian - he was right. We is bofe
crazy"
II amt crazy" snapped MIR.

gwine git lii money out of it."
Malignant doubled one large. ham,
like fist. Another word out of yo'
mouf. Shrimp, an I'll p,llverize you"
He turned and marched from the
place, his broad shoulders swaying.
And shortly after Arbutus reached
her rooms much later that night, MIR.
Smith knocked on her door. He ex-
planned that he had found her dog,
and offered to return it to her imme-
diately for fifty dollars cash. Eventu-
ally, he accepted twenty-five and
departed.
Meanwhile, in the chill hours of
early morning, Florian Slappey and
Willie Rind pledged lifelong friend
ship. Willie was eternally grateful, but
he was insistent on one point: He
dared not return to Arbutus without
her dog. Together they walked miles
discussing the situation. At length
desperate scheme came to Florian.
Your dawg has gone, ," he asserted.
IAN we amt got no hope of gittin' it
back FUN Malignant. else he would of
bargained with us. Now the chances
are he plans to sell it to Sicily Clump
- an so, Willie, the on'iest thing US
can do is buy another Pom which you
can cay to Arbutus tomorrow
mawnin'"
But" objected Willie. '"Arbutus
will know right away it amt her'n."
'Sho'ly she will. But with her
thinkin' her dawg is lost she'll maybe
be so glad to git another that she
won't ruin you immedjit."
Mr.. Rind agreed, and so it was de-
cided that he would spend the night
with Florian, pawn his ring in the
morning and 60 to certain kennel
where Florian knew two Poms were
for sale.
Eight o'clock found both men en-
route to the Office of Semore Mashby,
who loaned Willie fifty dollars. taking
the ring as security. Florian and
Willie then boarded street car for the
kennel. where the gentleman in charge
was prevailed upon to sell one OF his
Poms for fifty dollars.
Willie was slightly more cheerful
when at ten-thirty they prepared to
visit the Midnight lot. They passed
slowly through the gate. and their
eyes were arrested by group outside
the entrance to sound stage number
one. Director Clump was there, his
eyes rather wild. President Latimer
was pacing up and down, hands
clasped behind his pudgy back. Sound
Engineer Callous Deech was talking
to Opus Randall and making large
and comprehensive gestures. Leaning
against the wall were Sicily Clump
and Wexford Potts in languid con-
versation.
Arbutus Rind stood alone and aloof.
She wore the costume of a cabaret
girl, and not until Willie had timidly
approached to within a dozen yards
did he notice that in her arms she held
the lost Pomeranian!
