MOST of the courts of Europe 'A'~ welcomed Peter Paul Rubens as both painter and diplomat. But the world knows this great Bel: gian artist best for the S1iasters pieces he. has left in the leading museums, and for the strikingly vivid characters he portrayed.
 Rubens was born in Prussia in 1877, but lived most of his life in Antwerp. He was hardly 20 when he became known as a painter. and soon was doing canvases for the royalty of Europe. His travels as an artist, from court to court, taught him the ways of diplomacy, and he soon became invaluable as a wise representative and media. tor. He acquired enough tact to mediate the quarrel between Philip " of Spain and Charles I of England, and for his work, the latter ruler knighted him.
 Some 1900 works of art are credited to Rubens, the greatest of these being his Descent from the Cross." Almost as great is his Elaboration of the Magi."

venture, her husband always puts up wad of dough.
 "fIe must think a lot of her." I remarked while I arranged the flowers for the tearoom.
 Cal threw back his head and laughed. Dunno about that. She's always talking about expressing herself. Well, if know the old man, he'd rather pay for her to express herself on something else than bother himself listening to her harangues."
 Laughed when Peter said 1t was so cleah up here he wouldn't need to wash his neck more than once week! Kids are funny; but he's right. The air is crystal clear. We're so far from neighbors we don't get any smoke and factories are un- known near The Golden Anchor as Mrs. Fenwick calls the tearoom, Guess 1t was so named because some of her husbands ancestors were connected with the sea.

 Wish Peter had some young. sters to play with. I must ask Cal If there are any in the neigh. borhood. Quite glad Cal doesn't seem to mind having Peter around; but he should be with chil. dren.
 Cal evidently seems to feel re. sponsible for the welfare oi everyone connected with the tea. room.

CHAPTER W

Tuesday: "Ever hear of man called 'Jigger' around here?" l asked Cal when he came into the kitchen this morning to fix the stoves and i'll the ice boxes.
 "'Jigger'?" Cal repeated in a questioning voice. Then he laughed though not before caught a flicker of anger in his old blue eyes. That nin't no name, Miss Joy. What are you trying to put over on me this tnorning?" and, pulling his tobacco pouch from his hip pocket he bhoveled handful of rough cut into his almost toothlesS mouth.
 "Oh, but it is," I replied, He was here last night"
 Gals jaw dropped, and again for second, caught @ look of anger in his eyes when he said "what have you got up your sleeves, Miss Joy? Better spill the beans guess you're up te some city game . trying to put something over on us."
 "Not at all, but when every one was at the movies, this man came to the door and wanted me to lei him in to call number"
 "Aain't Mrs. Fenwick told you yet she don't let folks come ir and use the phone, less they put up their money first. You see lots of trucks get in trouble after com ing up the long hill and as there ain't no telephone nearer than a mile away they often want to use hers"
 "Well, that's just what hap pened to his truck; but I wouldn't let a man like that in here unless had battalion of the National Guard here to meet him. He looked like @ thug, with ferret like eyes. If Rowdy hadn't been with me, might have been scared. Wonder If you know the number he called. I wrote 1t down. Here 1t is."
 '.That don't mean anything to me, Miss. In the summer there's . lot more telephones in use with all the visitors around. Reckon this ice box can hold another hundred pounds" and Cal left the kitchen, while Tess, the head waitress, said:
 What was that you were tell ing Cal? Had burglars here last night?"
 NO, only 6 man wanting to use the phone; but the funny thing about him Is that just before came up here, I saw him as we crossed the Queensborough bridge. He wa! driving Q swell car then, but las night he had 6 big truck, covered with tarpaulin."
 "Gee, maybe he was @ bandit making away with his swag," Tess suggested. Bet Cal will make 1t his business to find out all about him He's better than newspaper" ano she laughed.
 "Yes," I agreed, realizing that Gal is quite Q character - "a na. tive" Mrs. Fenwick calls him which I suppose accounts for hi queer ways, though she declare, he's the mainstay of the tearoom Well, if being able to fix electric appliances, repair furniture, rais, flowers and vegetables, is the ratint of "a native" I guess that's not st bad.
