She watched me from the doorway, wondering, I suppose, how she could get the motion of my legs down on paper. About a week later the "Bloomfield Bugle was again settling herself into Mrs. Buttnells rocker. The odor of newly-bakebread filled the kitchen. Oh, somethin' scandalous has happened.

About a month later the "Bugle" bustled into Mrs. Buttnells kitchen. "Am I very red in the face? she asked. "I feel terrible; this hot weather blows me up somepin terrible," settling herself. "Its strange how Jim and that artist woman are gettin' so chummy; Jim's moonin' half the time. He's told his mother the artist is a genius and as beautiful as a goddess. He's gettin' it bad. And I daresay she likes the boy. She's all interested in his college work and what he's goin to do. Shes given him some books, and says she'll help him out with money if he needs it. But all that's gone ; by now. Jim's about shes won a prize or somepin and is goin to Europe or somewhere far away. Jims takin on somepin terrible.

She wrote that she was goin to Europe and would have to give up the cottage; and that she was very thankful for her acquaintance with Jim, because he supplied her with material from life for illustratin a book that had been assigned to her. She sent him a sketch of himself, and said he could see the others when the book came out. 'Bloomfield Bugle seated herself, raised to bulk ponderous straighten her skirt, reseated Am I red A herself, and exclaimed, in the face? Mrs. Buttnell, stirring quietly Why. about the kitchen, replied, no, not very. "The Bloomfield Bugle" went on heedlessly: "I must be, I came in such a hurry. Oh, I got so much to tell you about that new woman, Mrs. Winlott, the widow." She paused dramatically. Just think of that, a young widow settlin down in this town. There's somepin queer up; and shes hired that Mamy boy, Jim (you know the big, strappin fellow that goes to college), to do the spadin' and weedin. It's scandalous! "Hasn't she any children?" asked Mrs. Buttnell. as quietly as possible. "No, and narry a sign of one. Oh, I must tell you how I found out so much about her.

Pullets should be given good care on summer range if their owner expects them to be good layers when they are ready for production, and good care means proper feed, shade, protection from disease, and plenty of room in the brooder house or range shelter. Poultrymen who started the season with all the chicks that the brooder house would hold should separate the cockerels from the pullets and then divide the pullets between two houses so that each bird will have about two feet of floor space.

When one least expects it, time and space are annihilated. Out of East Hampton, L. I., travel William C. Hall for a months stay In Peiping, China, with which he became so fascinated that nothing would do but to lease a snugly furnished, servanted and properly equipped cottage on Rue de La grene, French legation quarter, shortest street in the ancient capital, a thoroughfare so abbreviated that only three houses could find space to park there. Mystery of the Two Halls. "To facilitate the delivery of my said Mr. Hall, "I had a mail, small name plate made for the front gate. Imagine my surprise to discover the next day that at the other end of Rue de Lagrene, my own residence being No. 1, another William C. Hall had his name up on house No. 3. At all events, that same afternoon in the Peiping club I met a William C. Hall, captain of the marine corps, a resident of China for many years. It was as much a shock to him when he saw my name as it was to me when I saw his. Startling, wasn't it? And hard to match. "I wouldn't say that, said Mrs. Hall, occupying the next steamer chair. "Recently, while dining with a mixed company, a gentleman whom I had never met before told a story that had to do with the making of a mint julep in Louisville, Ky. As the narrative unfolded and, recognizing it as having happened to my father, I took occasion to say so. "Rather stiffly, and in a doubting mood, the teller advised me that he had been assured by the lady that it had happened to her father, Crittendon Collings. In further support, and with evident high esteem for minute particulars, he advised me that the source of his information was a Mrs. Hollingsworth Siter. Survivor of the Titanic. "Of course, you know, continued Mrs. Hall, "that there was nothing I could do other than to inform the gentleman that I happen to be a sister to Mrs. Siter.", A married couple, whose courtship began in Japan, went back in their story to the sinking of the Titanic, a disaster of such proportions that the news was circulated into the uttermost corners of the earth. A young woman, spending a few days at Miyanoshita, learned through an English newspaper on file there that a Mrs. Stone, an old friend, was among the rescued, a piece of good news, calling for a letter of congratulation. At the hotel desk, while buying postage stamps, she remarked to her mother that Mrs. Stones American address had slipped her mind. "It said a womby any coincidence, an standing near, "it is Mrs. George W. Stone of Cincinnati, to whom you refer, here is her address on a letter I have just written and am about to post Henry Georges Daughters. As a result of that remarkably fortuitous circumstance, a friendship was formed which brought the travelers together, and the son of the woman who supplied the address became the husband of the girl who had forgotten it. The foregoing three episodes, interesting indeed would seem to have been ample out of one passenger list, but the fourth into which I found myself drawn was even more remarkable in that it carried a double dose of fortuity. Believe it or not; here it is: An Austin P. Sutter of Los Angeles, associated with the moving picture industry, told of a Tokio acquaintance who, taken to the Tokio Imperial hospital suffering from heart trouble, was restored by the use of a preparation invented in the United States. The conversation on this subject, interrupted by something more entertaining, ended there. Two or three days later, off Honolulu, the film man and I went Into a huddle on the screen industry and mutual friends connected with it In the course of our prattle Sutter spoke of Cecil DeMille. Did I know him? Yes, but I knew his brother, Billy DeMille, better; saw a good deal of him 25 years ago in New York, where he married one of the daugh-- . ters of Henry George, author of "Progress and Poverty. Right there something clicked. "Another daughter of the great philosopher, I went on, married a Japanese physician, who became world famous as the discoverer of a formula to stimulate heart action, since adopted universally. "What was his name? asked Sutter, suddenly aroused. Takamine. Johichi Taka ,ine. The preparation is known as Adrenalin. G WNU Service I |
