NDY couldn't have told when he first began to be worried about A lot of them stopped, | it Is true, and bought cold buttermilk and apple ple from Nora. She had to spring to get more buttermilk. He sald to her, “For Heaven's sake, back? They come down the hill so brakes with you in the way.” Nora laughed at him, She sald, “Why must you fuss when we are do- ing so well? Must you always have something to worry about? I'm not a child. Of course I look before I cross the road.” But she didn’t, didn't He spent a rainy afternoon laborl- ously lettering a sign to put at the top of the hill. It sald, “DANGER! Steep Hill Ahead. Sharp Curve.” But do you think the fools paid any attention to it? They must think he put the sign there for fun, because he didn't have anything better to do. He spoke of moving the station across the road to the lawn in front of the house, even though the cars couldn't see it from the top of the hill. But Nora wouldn't let him, He tried to get Nora to stay over at the house and let him manage the stand as well as the pumps “But what are you going to do when they begin to pile up on you? she de- manded. “You ean't pump gas and hand out buttermilk, too. I don't see what's got into you, He sald, "To heck with them, If they can't wait, they can go on away.” She looked at him helplessly, “I don't understand you. You used to be sensible. Are you still worring about me crossing the road?” He denled that. “It's just that you ought to be in the house; you have enough work to do there” And he pretended to be disgruntled with the cooking she did In the evening. “You can't make pies so late at night. No wonder they aren't any good.” In August it got terribly hot and the cars came thicker and faster than ever, All night long you heard the roar of them and all day the swish, swish they made against the alr, The sound of the cars drowned out the song of the locusts and sent the little wild things scurrying madly into the bush. But nearly every morning he found a small, furry body on the road, lying stiff and still and staring at him with bright, dead eyes. He shuddered think- ing of her lying like that looking at him with her brown eyes. And was short with her and irritable with the customers. But the bright, white heat of August gave way to the golden glow of Sep- tember without anything happening to Nora. And he began to think he had been very foolish. After all, he thought, it isn't as If I weren't here to watch over her. He began kidding her again, as he used to do and she was happy once more, convinced that he liked the country and they could go on living here, just the two of them, laughing and kidding and working to- gether, And so Labor Day came. It was worse than Fourth of July. He got up "at six in the morning and by noon he had gassed up more than fifty cars. Business had never been 80 good be- fore. He breathed a sigh of rellef when by noon she had sold all her butter- milk, She wanted to stay and pump gas while he fixed flats, but he told her roughly to get on over to the house and stay there, So she went back to the house, walk- ing slowly across the road because she was hurt and mad at him. He held | Mis breath until she was across, then he went on pumping gas. He was so happy he was singing to himself, “There's an old spinning wheel in the patior. . ..™ He got so tired at the end of the day that he thought he'd drop.

The game is believed to be a modification of Russian whist, ac- cording to a writer In the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It was first met with In Constantinople and Egypt about 1865, where it was the favorite card game of social clubs. Before the end of the century it had invaded the Riviera and Paris, It made its appearance in Lon- don about 1804, quickly superseding or- dinary whist as the soclety game of cards, At first the game was known in England as bridge whist, Contract bridge has been played 20 years, Americans abroad found that players were experimenting with a form of contract bridge. About 1915 the Whist Club of New York consid- ered codifying the game, but decided the time had not yet arrived to do so. During the summer of 1020 contract bridge became very popular In New- port and Southampton, In the fall its popularity spread to New York city. and the game is now played in all parts of the country, British Isles Possess Most Temperate Climate The Bahama Islands, lying a few hundred miles southeast of the coast of Florida, were settled by Loyalists from the United States after the Amer- fcan Revolution, notes a writer in the Montreal Herald. The Islands have the most temperate climate in the world and the crop season extends throughout the whole year, The land was at first divided Into large plantations using slave labor, after the fashlon of the southern states, Cotton and tropical fruits were the great export crops while corn and live stock were produced for local needs, Cotton was abandoned after a few years since it rapldly exhausted the thin soil and with the abolition of slavery the land was gradually broken up Into small holdings, cultivated by both white and colored farmers The big Nmiting factor in the agri culture these islands is the pe cullar nature of the soll.

To wander through the in- tricate passageways and slits in the walls Is to be reminded of the anclent rules of the order, which permitted no monk to see another, All lived In solitude and silence, 11- luminating manuscripts or writing learned treatises on the holy writings, until they died and were buried In its little Garden of the Dead. An egg and cheese, twice a week, but one meal of bread and water every other day, was their diet. Yet these monks gave the world the renowned Chartreuse cordial, the sale of which supported the monastery. When the government seized the place in 1903 the monks fled to Spain and carried with them the secret of their famous liquor, made of herbs and plants, and today the lonely monastery is only a show place for visitors to lin- ger and muse on the austerities of the past, Original Claimants to Canada Russia did not own Canada. The original claimants to Canada were the French by virtue the voyages of Jacques Cartler, French navigator, as early of 1534, but the claims of France to Canada were not undis puted by Great Britain.

The forces that began to shape the earth when it was but a liquid ball are still at work, although they are not as violent now as they were then, It is as normal for the earth to shake as it ig for clouds to sweep across the sky. The process of faulting, which means the redistribution of the earth's ma- terials In an effort to establish equili- brium, Is not likely to end for many million years. And when it does the earth will be “finished” in the slang sense of the term. It will be a mere cinder drifting In space around the sun, with no heaving oceans, no green trees, no life. When stability comes man will be extinct. To a seismologist earthquakes reveal the Internal structure of the earth. They are somewhat like X-rays that make the bones stand out on a photo- graph of the chest. The records re- veal the character of the waves that course through the trembling earth plainly enough. They are highly com- plex—these earthquake waves. They move up and down like waves In the ocean, crosswise like those in a fut- tering flag, back and forth like sound Waves, Early Traveling Carnivals It Is recorded that during Colonial days several English showmen brought small troupes to the United States. Among the first was Ricketts’ circus. which was exhibited in the Greenwich theater near the battery, New York. in 1795. Probably the first American- born showman of mention was Rufus Welch. In November, 1826. the Mt itt circus opened on Broome street, New York, in a building seating 3.500 persons and sald at that time to be the largest place of amusement in America I. B.

India first knew it as a ram- paging parasite, despolling forests, But, as the raw manufacturer of ghel- lac, the resin used for making gramo- phone records, stiffening straw hats, coating wood and metals, and other in. sulating purposes, it is today treated with marked respect, Knowing its appetite for succulent young branches, the natives prepare these specially for it, attaching them to trees. The lac then dines at its pleasure, covering the hark with a resinous secretion. The female lac is the most prolific source of supply. Then, when the harvest appears ripe, the branches are cut down and scraped, The resin is melted into a plastic mass, which on drying is eut up into circular cakes or sheets, ready for export.-w Tit-Bits Magazine, Mina Is Claimed to Be Champion Talking Bird When talking birds are mentioned every one usually thinks of the pare rot.

I'd suggest making the brown bread the day before you want to use it, so that it will have a little time to season. Or medinm size loaf of brown bread can be steamed at the same time that the beans are baking. Place the bread in a buttered mold on the rack in the bottom of the cooker and pour the beans around it. Two hours after the steaming has started the bread should be done and can be taken out. A long handled fork and spoon can be used to lift the mold out easily. BROWN BREAD ¥ and measure flour and corn meal and sift with soda and salt. Mix molasses and sour milk and add with raigins to dry ingredients. Pour into well olled baking pow- der cans, or into a mold. Cover. Place in Steam Cooker. Cover. Steam on High beat 10 minutes and on Low heat 2 or 3 hours.
