IN WOMAK&RMLM §Y|| DAYSEY MAYME AND HER FOLKS The woman never lived who put as much faith in her husband as she puts In the holding qualities of a step ladder. With a pail of hot soapy suds in one hand, a scrubbing brush in the other, and grim determination to conquer a fleck of dust on the picture moulding, she will cllmh to the top step of a ladder as wabbly and in firm and treacherous as the more talked of ladder by which one reaches social distinction or fame. Neither did any woman ever own a step-ladder that hadn't the spread ing qualities of a hen. A step-ladder belonging to a nmn has a greater stability than its owner; one belong ing to a woman shows its utter dis regard of her by falling apart the day after she buys it. Neither does any woman ever own a step-ladder if there lives a neigh bor within ten blocks who has one to lend. Mrs. Lysander John Appleton has kept house thirty years and never owned a stepladder; she always bor rows from her Most Tntlmate Friend. As a result of the blind faith every woman puts In a step-ladder, Mrs. Appleton has brought suit against her Most Intimate Friend for $50,000 damages.

His friendly escort was still evi dently in his mind, for from the open window he now waved a genial hand kerchief, whispering meanwhile Night-night," as If the hearty spirit, which induced the words would take them to the sidewalk ten score feet be low. \ Having performed this sacred rite of friendship he regained the center of the room, looked about him as if curi ously. and then went unsteadily to the grand piano, upon which he placed his elbow with a nestling search for com fort which seemed to indicate a firm decision to lean against the instrument and go to sleep without delay. This would never do, for when his slumber became deep he would be sure to lose his balance. Rankin saw the deep ne cessity for rousing him from his inten tion. i "Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones," he urged, tapping him upon the shoulder. Jackson looked up, sleepily, as if as tonished at the Interruption of his slumbers. "Hello," he said good na turedly, "who's there?" I 'lt s Rankin, air," said Rankin. ' "Who's "Rankin, sir?'" The tone waa that of tolerant curiosity to learn a to tal stranger's unimportant identity. "I'm the butler, sir." I "Butler?" ' "Yes, Mr. Jones; the butler." This seemed to rouse his master and he looked him over with some show of Interest "A butler!" he exclaimed In tones of deep reproach. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

"It was so rickety when I borrowed 'it last Spring that I had to hold on with my hands and wash the windows with my feet. 1 have had to use it six years upside down, and last month when I borrowed it to stand on to reach my preserves I found the only way 1 could cllmp it was by'balancing myself on my head. I have had to become a contortionist; I have been deluged with jam and hot suds, and have been the target of dlshpana and bars of soap and scrubbing brushes thrown at me by the top round; but I remembered that Friendship Is a Priceless Pearl, and never complained. "Yesterday, when I was on the top round, the ladder spread without pre liminary warning and landed me in a jar of apple butter. Then I deter mined to bring suit for damages, and 1 have decided further than that—un less this woman gets a new step ladder to lend, we will drive her from the neighborhood." —FRANCES Li. CJARSIDE. hopes of you—thought yon were going to be president of the United States, or something like that." Rankin bowed Impassively; he did not deny it "Now," said his employer with the deepest of reproach, you've disappoint ed everybody. You've turned out to be nothing but a butler. You ought to be ashamed ol yourself!" Rankin was not offended; Instead his air was that of triumph. "Ah, but see who's butler I am, sir!" he ex claimed. "Who's butler are you?" inquired Broadway, apparently with idlest curi osity. "I'm your butler, sir." "Oh, you're my butler?" This seemed not to be especially astonishing, though deeply interesting to the mas ter of the house. 'Tes. sir." Broadway looked at him with a glad emile, then with an earnest and enthu siastic gravity. He warmly shook his hand. "I congratulate you, Rankin. I'm very fond of my butler." His sen timent rose higher and he patted Ran kin on the cheek. "I love my little but ler. You must come out with me some night, Rankin." "I should like to. sir," said Rankin truthfully. Broadway became gay, mysterious. He looked at Rankin slyly and himself essayed to whistle some bars of the wedding march. "I know something you don't know," he cried irrelevantly. Rankin listened with respect and close attention. His curiosity was al most painful. But his master did not satisfy it. "Now I'll bid you good-night, Rankin. Nightie, nightie!" Genially he waved his hand at him, laughed, whistled an other bar or two and elaborately made the starboard tack toward the door of hla bedroom. Rankin made no protest; he knew better. "When do you wish to be called, sir?" "Oh, that's so, I must be called," his master granted after a second's deep and serious thought. Then, in a deep study; "Now, let me see—when do I wish to be called? What day Is it, Rankin?" "It's Thursday, sir." "Thursday? Well, I tell you what you do, Rankin. You call me on Sat urday." After this entirely unexpected sug gestion to the little butler whom he loved, he found a devious course Into his bedroom and Rankin, after he had watched the door close, he^rd the key turn in the lock. He sank into a chair, even his composure utterly destroyed.! In the distance a church-clock chimed. Rankin counted the slow strokes. "Five o'clock in the morn ing!" he said helplessly. y/ CHAPTER V. Wallace was a mid-morning visitor. He came In briskly, inquiring of the very much puzzled butler for the very elegant apartment's* master. "He's not yet up, sir." This apparently had not the least de terrent efTect on the young caller. He Urged his firm athletic frame through the short hal! into the dim illumina tion of the flat's reception room. It ■was evident enrugh that he had no In tention of departing, simply because the master of the house had not yet risen. Rankin understood that and did not gainsay him. Wallace had his privileges as the best friend of the ten ant of the flat. "Shall I tell him you are here?" "Tea," said Wallace firmly, "and tell him that I want to see him right away. It's very important. Do you under stand ?" Rankin had already read the morn ing's papers which were lying In a neat pile on the table. He longed for fuller news than theirs. "Yes, sir." But he hesitated slight ly. Broadway was an indulgent mas ter—still, strange things were happen ing; he was doubtful. "He said ha : didn't wish to be disturbed till Satur day, sir." Wallace was not Impressed. "Thai doesn't make any difference. You tell him I want to see him." "Yes, sir." But the perfect servant still hesitated, filled with curiosity about the previous night. Wallace might enlighten him. "He didn't get Dome until five o'clock this morning. He attended some big dinner-party, 1 believe." 'Tes; I was there —I was there! Go on and call him! Tell him lam wait ing. I'm going to have a heart to heart talk with that young man." "Yea, sir," said the butler without hastening, for he saw that Wallace had picked up a paper from the neat pile he had made of all of them npon the table. "Great Scott!" Wallace cried, dis mayed. "Here it is on the front pageT" "I beg pardon, Mr. Wallace, but is It all true, sir?" "What?" "The story in the morning papers, sir, about—er—his engagement?" "1 don't know. Someone rang me trp and told me of it. It's what brought me here. I want to find out if it's true. I left the dinner at 12:30. The engagement, I am told, was announced shortly after I had left. Were you up when he got home this morning?" "Yes, sir." "Did he talk of it at all?" "He—couldn't talk so; very mnch, sir." "Tipsy V Rankin nodded very solemnly. "Stewed, sir." "Did he come home alone?" "He came In here alone, but a crowd was serenading him upon the sidewalk for ten minutes after he arrived. It was the wedding march they tried to sing. I couldn't understand why they chose that until I read the morning's papers, sir." "Well, what do you think of It, Ran kin?" Rankin shrugged his shoulders, but did not reply. His instinctive loyalty to his employer, his perfect knowledge of his own proprieties prevented that. "Oh, come on," Wallace urged. "You can tell me. Just between us now." [To Bo Continued.] JOHN F.

Recommends More Work in Army Aeronautics By Associated Press Washington, Jan. 9.—"lt is time to Jump right in and catch up with the European nations in aeronautics," says Rear Admiral Blue, chief of the navi gation bureau of the navy, in a recom mendation just submitted to the House Committee on Naval Affairs for lib eral aviation appropriations. "We expect to go ahead much fas ter In the near future," the admiral explained. "The English, French and German nations have a great number of machines, dirigible and heavier than air. Situated near each other as the European nations are one would naturally expect them to have many more air craft than we, and conse quently more experience in the de velopment of them."
