not come If you’re a fatalist that’a the explanation you will like If you’re not a fatalist you will probably put it down to plain of both I’d say it was a combination every day luck Fred's first Job — at the age of fourteen— was to sit In n hallway before the a busy man door of a certain office Beyond that door was Fred's first boss who hired Fred to keep callers from disturbing him escape Suo

restriction No pretext could He couldn’t leave his post at any moment of the day He He didn’t mind that he says excuse his absence for one second had the only window in the spacious hall where he sat and could look out when he got tired reading Except for a small telephone table at the other end of the hall there was no furniture Fred could put his feet up on the hot rndintor when It was cold and rnuke himself at home ns much as he wished Following out his orders to the letter he paid no attention to anything else that might be going on around him Ignores Telephone but It’s Agent of Fate The telephone at the far end of the hall he Ignored No one seemed ever to use the thing anyway and yet that telephone was destined to bej the Instrument of Fate — the Instrument that would snatch him from a particularly dreadful and untimely end Fred had been on the job two months when the fateful day arrived No matter what He had never moved out of that dutiful chair of his happened around him Fred had been true to his trust and like a faith ful watchdog had stayed put before the door of his employer Radiator Good Company on Cold Day This day was particularly cold and his side partner — the steam radiator — was sizzling hot The steam hissing through Its pipes In front of him was sweet music to his chilly ears He hnd a good hook und there vyeiv few callers so what more could a fellow ask? As he glanced out of Ids frosty window he could see less fortunate persons fighting their way against a wintry blast and himself on the sense of duty that had kept him at his post he congratulated and held Fils nlcd'warin Job for him It Suddenly an annoying sound grated on Fred's sensitive ears He let it ring was that blame telephone at the other end of the hall He wasn’t going to get up and answer It and then He should worry He smiled have some salesman slip in and annoy the boss No cocked his feet higher on the radiator and went on reading Ringing Telephone Annoys Fred It wouldn’t stop But that doggoned phone kept on ringing You’d think But they didn't when a fellow didn't answer they’d stop ringing “Dlng-ling a ling” went the telephone! "Bang!" went Fred's warm feet off the sizzling radiate and he made for the other end of the hall He figured he could answer the darn thing and be He made the hnll In 10 Jtiraps and back before anyone noticed his absence And as he did Fred says the bottom fell out of the grabbed the receiver world The Bottom Falls Out of the World A rush of air slammed him violently against the wall I WhamI like thunder shook the building under his feetl Boom! A detonation He felt like a log to the floor! Cries came from the front office — cries and dense clouds of live steam! The' agonized voice of his boss came to him Vlndows crashed open crying hla name Fred’s boss appeared and hugged him Suddenly the air cleared Joyously Here he was getting hugged Instead of getting tired Fred was amazed He looked around and his eyes nearly popped out of his head The Radiator HAd Been Blown to Pieces His easy chair was a mass of wreckagel The radiator was gone! It had exploded and Jagged fragments of Iron protruded Blown to bite! from the place on the wall WHERE FRED'S HEAD HAD BEEN FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHSI If that phone hadn’t rung the boy would have been blown to piece YVell I'm not advising disobedience by any means but by golly disobedience saved Fred's life that day Or was It Just “not his time?” Cl— WNU Srvtoe Feminine Hands Guided Ireland Long Long Ago The queens of ancient Ireland and especially of Ulster figure prominently In the history and folklore of the land “This fact Is one of the reasons why as a Ireland Is always represented beautiful woman” states a writer In who the New York tells bow one need only enter the ports of Belfast Londonderry or Dublin to feel the shadowy presence of these queenly Clnderellas of the past “There Is hardly a district but what an ancient ensile some relic or local songs or folklore do not contain reference to a fairy queen of Ireland History records that through feminine rivalry queendoms vied with one an other in primitive arts” When the Milesians or Gaels first landed In Ireland they were ruled by a queen named Scots and they found And here a poeple called the Dannans the Danaans were ruled by three kings who were not only brothers but mar rled-tThe names of three sisters these three sister queens were Eire Banba and Flola and their three names are often taken to signify Ireland In fact Ireland Is said to derive Its name — from the first sister Eire In far distant times the queens of Ireland wore clothes of seven different colors and none but royalty might wear A wise clothes of the same colors of the queen wore a dress counsellor of six colors a nobleman of the court In five colors and so was garmented on according to rank down to one These queenly cal aloigIt4aTram - ora that early Irish peasants took their costume colors of dresa At Belfast one sees evidence of the reign of the great Irish Empress Macha- - "Queen of the Golden Hair” While the capital of northern Ireland Is old only three centuries Queen Macha was born In Ulster and ruled all Ireland for seven years The Garibaldi ladles must remember wearithe 70's of last century an article of dress known as a “garibaldi” writes George In the Herald Glasgow As a mere man can remember It this wag a sort of shirt blouse buttoned down the front and ending with a belt at the waist It was not a garment merely named after the famous Italian guerilla chief but was a reproduction of the garment actually worn by him as shown In his The vogue of the portraits wearing of the garibaldi was a result of the furore of enthusiasm for the Italian which swept patriot over Scotland when he paid It a visit In 1803 Following a wildly romantic career as sailor filibuster drover shlpbroker teacher 6f mathematic and naval commander he had freed' Sicily from the tyranny of the Bourbons Many ng In M® Only Chinet Signs A regulation announced by the Nanking municipal government orders that all signboards before Chinese shops In the capital may bear only Chinese characters No English or otbtf age-may be employed' y |
