Monte, looking at her oddly. "A ten

Monto broke Into laughter over this
sally. Ho took tho girl's gontlo ragging

and Andrews were going, the" last guests
to depart. Art Iho mother smiled, Grace
took her hand and squeezed It faintly.
'I.alch.trlng always out," said Mr.
Stanley bluntly. "Lunch some day with
ma at the league."'
Monie was somewhat morose as ho rode
back to town with, tho lawyer. He con
fessed he felt like a vaudeville performer
who, had Just done a turn on the arlety
stage. s
"I used to be wild over that sort ,of
thing." he snapped, when Andrews coni
pllmented his dancing,
"And now tho girls seem to be wild pver
you," laughed the lawyer. "My old Joints
are so stiff I have to content myself with
lending out ladles of middle ago and
above."
"H'a llfo, I ndmtt." summed up. Monte
as he sprang out of tho blue llmouslno at
his town house. "But take It from me,

that tliete Is something more Important

For all his nne speech Monte was still
thinking of tho elegant Grace Stanley and
thinking hard as ho ran up his own steps
to be admitted by the old butler. She
was still clinging to him as sho had In
tho dancos, fragile, soft and most daintily
feminine. Ha could not shake her off his'
mind for hours afterward. Such Is tho
strength of the weak.

They made a handsome couple- on the

Grace sank exhausted into a chair and

dozen of the younger sot of women. "Who
is he?" they cried, as Monto walked off
with Mr. Stanley to meet a prominent
financier from Wall street. "He Is Mr.
Crlspen, a Phlladelphlan," sho said
sweetly, and from then on poor Monte
was In constant demand.'even rivaling
tho fat tenor, who eang tlireo songs.
"You must come again; drop In any
the acres of public saloons, sun parlors

"A wild goose chase after all," said a
largo-framed, red-faccd-man to a younger,
who was piloting him through the maze
of easy chairs, up ramps, and down Bhort
pairs of stairs, to the bar, a marvelous
retreat In tho subbasement, where ma

"That can rest for the present." safd
Monte evasively,
"Suit yourself, my gay young: bucco, but

Government man w(th oradlant gm)le.
"Well, I hae barely tlnle to niako the lat

Monte was sincerely relieved to soa him

tho chair boy.
"At what hotel did you pick up tho lady

with another crackle '
"Thank' do Lord, I done can answer the

'Go to (t, lad, nnd the AVer Is your very

"Dat's It, boss. Thank tho Lord for

"Here is your money."
Monte's step was springy ns ho wheeled
and started back to his own hotel. He did
not notlco that a dark figure In tho
shadow of the toy shop on the Garden

was followed by stealthy steps all the way
to the Grand Hotel .Mlramar.

Well-drained, shady place. Cover )he
roots thoroughly nnd pack thosoll around

to dry them. Strawberry and black rasp

Our sood friend Billy Bumpus, the brave
troat who wanted to sro to war and who
disappeared when Mister Ansora Goat
telephoned for him to como and help

In? as hard as he could.
"I do not mind going to war, with all
the excitement, but I do not see why I
have to spoil my life chaslne burglars
when llfo Is so precious at the front."
Billy was thinking to himself, when who
should como along but Mister Angora
Goat.
"Well," began Billy, trying to look un
concerned, "what brought you here7"
"My legs," answered Mister Angora
Goat, trying to look as scornful as pos
sible at Billy.
"Did you did you catch the burglar?"
ventured Billy.
"What burglar?" asked Mister Angora
Goat.
"You remember you telephoned over to
my wife and asked hor to tell me to come
over and help you catch a burglar," said
Billy in surprise.
"Did I?"
"Well, I thought you did. I could not
come because I am going to war and I
have no time to catch burglars." Billy
tried to look very brave and was not suc

"Vou go to war? Why, you are the
biggest coward In the world and I can
prove It You only THINK you are
brave." ' Mister Angora Goat moved away.
"I am not a cqward," protested Billy,
"If you are not, stay here until 'that
burglar comes along and then catch him.
But if you do not stay here, run along
home, but do not look behind you to see
him when he does come, for If, you look
back you are a coward seep
"No, I do not see." said Billy as he"
started for home. When he reaohed" the
top of the hill he turned and looked back.

About Birds
Dear Farmer Bmlth As I was coming
through a wood by a little creek, 7 aaw a
flock of grackels, seeming' to be very ex-
cited. I went over to see what was the
matter. There was a grackel tied to tfie
tree with some cord, I went right home
and told mother. And we got sopie scis
sors and went to the place where he was
tied and out him down. He flew awa'y
and yelled "caw." I have some suet ona
tree for the birds to eat, and It la 411
pecked up where the birds have packed tt.
RUSSELL aiUY, Jit, -We
think the "caw" was the grackel
bird's thank-yoi) to the little boy who took
the trouble to go all the way to itell
mother." All birds are grateful, attdfwe
know that each day there muet be a yery
beautiful concert at the bird banquet on
the "suet tree."

unusual Incident in the string of "events"
scheduled for the convention of the Asso

The scene will be Betjrwood. Pa., where

take a special train for this place and
later will make the trip to BeUwood.
The wives and Women friends of the

the sessions at the University of Pennsyl

being made to provide accommodations
for tnem there. Most of the time they
will be allowed to follow their Inclinations
in me way or entertainment, although a
program with attractive features has been
arranged.
Department storer managers, 'wlth, a
knowledge of feminine nature sharpened
