MANIATES. “] wonder if I am an ex-patriot” this except by letter, for there had been a fascination about Tom, and her resolutions generally weakened in his presence. The letter twitting her of being ex- patriated was from her father, who so rarely wrote to her. He had launched into a enlogy over the United States, and her duty to her family. With a sigh Kate laid down the let- ter and began to dress for dinner. Her friends, the Gordons, were hav- ing some repairs made to their house, and in the meantime they were all staying at a boarding place. She was roused from her reflec tions of the stars and stripes by the entrance of Gwendolen Gordon. “There is a countryman of yours below, May, who has just arrived straight from the states.” “Really?” asked May interestedly. “It's so long since I have seen any- one ‘just over.'” “You will doubtless meet him at dinner. He is tall, well-formed, good color, bright eyes, well-tubbed. Really he might almost pass for an English- man.” And May was not yet so “expatri- ated” as not to experience a tinge of resentment at Gwendolen’s inference that his passing for an Englishman was the highest compliment she could pay an American. The description reminded her of Tom, and memories of Tom always brought a vague dis- comfort. He had merely acknowl edged the receipt of the ring she had returned, and had formally regretted her “change of heart.” After the long, friendly letter she had writ ten him explaining her “career” she had certainly looked for more notice than that. She had anticipated opposition, remonstrance or a beseeching letter from him, pos- sibly a visit from him. Maybe he, too, had “changed.” And there had been an unaccountable silence on the part of her family, who adored Tom. Her father, whose views on “honor” and the keeping of a promise were so im- placable, had never mentioned or hinted at her action—simply indited an oration on her country. She went down to dinner with a thrill of anticipation at the thought of meeting a “live man” again, for she had secretly disdained the Italians and the men she had met at the Gor- dons. She was doomed to disap- . pointment. No stranger appeared, though she prolonged the meal as much as possible. Later in the evening she was sitting on the balcony of her sitting room when she heard the piano below. There were a few random chords, and then there fell grandly on the air a deep baritone voice rendering the “Star Spangled Banner.” “Oh!” she cried with indrawn breath. By the thrill of ecstacy she knew she was not an alien from her native shores. She hastened down to the salon |. which was crowded with American tourists drawn thence by the magic of the home song. At the end of the second verse, May was suffering all |: nostalgia. There was |: something familiar in the voice, and | the pangs of Sma THEIR INVITED GUESTS AT SUBURBAN HOME When Perkins, without consulting Mrs. Perkins, invited Hinchett to upon the Perkins establishment with one wife, two children and one brin- chett exclaimed, making a dive for it. “I'm just worn out with the long trip from our place and the railroad drive and then the walk up here in the sun. You won't mind if I lie down a min- ute, will you?" “Lillian {isn't very strong,” Hin- chett explained. “Certainly not!” Perkins told her. “Go right ahead, Mrs. Hinchett, and get rested. That's what we're here | for.” | She tumbled into the hammock and | Hinchett went down into the front yard to encourage Bruno in digging had been working over all season. As Perkins walked into the hall with the satchels his wile seized him. “Why didn’t you tell me these peo- ple had children?” she hissed into his ear. “I could have gone away or got scarlet fever or something. You know make jelly today.” “Hinchett held out on me,” mur mured Perkins. “He never mentined the kids. For the love of Pete, go and | talk to ’em.” | “And that woman in the hammock is the one you said would help me make jelly if I let them come today,” his wife said witheringly. “Maybe she will,” countered Per kins. “You haven't asked her yet.” Then Mrs. Perkins coaxed up a wel- coming smile for the guests and went out to meet them, murmuring words of sympathy for Mrs. Hinchett, whose fatigue threatened to become per-| manent. About that time the Perkins fox terrier arrived from an excursion into foreign flelds. When the two men had pried the bulldog loose from the fox terrier's neck Perkins took his dog into the basement and chained him to the furnace. i While Mrs. Hinchett, from the depths of the hammock, was explain- ing to Mrs. Perkins how badly she felt most of the time and how quickly she succumbed before exercise of any kind, Perkins took Hinchett down to show him the village hall, and the sights of which the residents of suburb are justly proud.

Los Angeles, Cal.—"Grey Ghost,” a low-swung racing car, with its gog- gled, supposed owner at the wheel, and with the exhaust roaring and thundering a protest from its powerful engines, has been sweeping through Glendora and surrounding towns up- on a piratical mission that has spread terror in its wake. Along foothill boulevards, the stretch of well-paved road that leads from Los Angeles through Glendora, the pirate car and its owner have sped night after night upon marauding ex- peditions. It is only when the car is out on the boulevards, where other cars are ‘wending their way to and from the little cities near the foothills, that the “Grey Ghost” is let loose with all its speed. Then it flashes by other automobiles, giving the occupants a moving-picture view of a swift-speed- ing car with a driver huddled behind the wheel, a mere blur of a human being, whizzing on. Seven times the “auto pirate” and his gray streak of a car have been seen by orange growers who live along the boulevard. That he is the one who is committing the various depredations which have aroused resi- dents along the mountain road has been made certain by traces that he has left after bold crimes. The men who have seen the driver of the “Grey Ghost” say he handles his car with all the skill of a professional racing driver, and that he evidently knows t Seems to Know Every Crook in the Roads. every turn of the roads in the sur. rounding country. Evidence that the “Grey Ghosts” owner does not care what he takes and is as willing to commit a petty theft as a daring burglary of con sequence, is shown by the fact that on one occasion he went so far as to steal a drilling machine belonging to a ranchman, who owns a place at | = Grand avenue and Foothill boulevard. The tracks of the automobile tires showed plainly where the “auto pi rate” had hitched the machine to the back of his car, and then sped away. One of the strange features in con- nection with the case is the fact that the “auto pirate” seems to know every crook and turn in the roads leading in and about Glendora, Covina, Duarte, Monrovia, Claremont and oth er towns. When shooting his car along over the smooth highways he never seems to hesitate at a turn or slow down for a railroad crossing or bridge. Man and the Rat. Man and the rat go everywhere and cat everything. They are the two creatures that dwell in houses and travel in ships. Each drives its other rivele to the wall, but neither, except locally and for brief periods, has ever come near to exterminating the other.
