“That's my oné hope,” sald Grand-
ma, brightening. “Lizzie Baker was
in yesterday and sald she had a card
from Sarah Bennett a wéek ago, and
they were off somewhere on a trip, |
all three of ‘em. I told Charmian, and |
seemed to me she was more cheerful |
for a while. This is a good pie, isn’t
it? Charmian got up early and made
it before breakfast.”
“She's no business to do such
things!” declared John Carter, “She
needs more sleep. Look here, Grand-
ma, does it make things harder for
her—my being here?”
“My stars, no! Maybe she gets a
little more food ready for noontime;
but it’s an awful comfort having you |
look after the furnace, sonny, to say |
nothing of the times you drop in to|
speak to me. Charmian said just yes-
terday that she didn't see how she
could keep the school without you
being here. Don't you get fretting
over that. Take another piece of ple,
Doctor. It'll please Charmian to think
you liked it. She's a real good cook,
isn’t she? She says if the school
board turns her down next year she'll
get a job at the hotel!”
“When she does," retorted the doc-
tor, helping himself to a second gen-
erous slice, “I'll thke my meals
there!””
“You needn't bother to ‘wash the
dishes,” said Grandma, when, their
luncheon over, the young man started
to clear the table. “Some way it

Charmian, and turned away, thereby

But the doctor liked his fancy, and
Grandma, who had become accus-
tomed to the appellation, merely
smiled. Then her face sobered, and
she replied: “You've noticed it, too,
sonny?”

He nodded, saying thoughtfully:
“Something’s gone out of her. For
lac:: of a better word we'll call it
pep. She seems on edge. Last night
I ventured to ask if she didn't feel
well, and—she took my head off!”

He grinned at the memory, brane

as she

“Sometimes she gets that way. Cher-
mian’s a good girl, but she’s no saint,
and I’m glad of it. She’s human like
all the Davises. I'll tell you what's
the matter, Doctor, but you mustn't
ever let on I spoke of it. It's Jimmy
Bennett.”

John Carter didn’t suspect that
Grandma's wise old eyes were watch-
ing to see how this would strike him.
His head lifted suddenly, as if her
words surprised him, and he js ptcdaet
“Bennett! You mean she. . .

“T don't mean anything of the
sort,” she interrupted. “All I mean is
that before Jim went away Charmian
did something that hurt his feelings.
She misjudged him; and when she
found out her mfstake she felt just
terribly. So she wrote him a letter.
I donno what she said, but it took
two stamps so she must have said
considerable. That was all of a month
ago, and he’s never answered. For
two weeks she hasn't mentioned a
word about it; but you can depend
upon it, that’s just what's ailing her
now.”

John Carter looked thoughtfully
into space until Grandma gently re-
minded him that his lunch was get-
ting cold. He seemed to pull himself
back from soméwhere at her words,
and said: “Letters sometimes go
astray, Grandma. Didn't she hear
from him at Christmas?”

“Only a card. Not—not what you'd
call a real affectionate card, either.’

The doctor laughed, though his
eyes still looked troubled.

“I bet there's some explanation,”
he insisted as he resumed his meal.
*I don’t think Bennett liked me par-
ticularly; but it struck me that he'd
be a darned nice chap if only he'd
knock the chip off his shoulder.’”

“Jimmy's the salt of the earth,”
said Grandma loyally.

“And he’s in love with Charmian,”
added the doctor.

“Always has’ been,” said the old
lady, “and in my opinion the only
reason she’s not in love with him is
because he's always been too close.
She’s never had a chance to get —
well, a sort of bird's-eye view of him,
so to speak, and see what a splendid
boy he is. She's used to him, same as
she’s used to the kitchen range and
the front door; and I'll say for Jim
that he’s been every bit as useful to
her as they have! I miss him like
anything.”

The doctor threw her a smile, but
continued at his task nevertheless,
explaining as he “filled the dish pan
with hot water: ‘You forget the re-
duced price at which I eat. It was in
the contract that I clean up when I
had time; and so far as I know a
call to South Wickfield is the only
prospect for this afternoon.”

“Maybe if Ezra brings Jim’s letter
you could leave it at the school as
you go by,” suggested Grandma.
“Sure!” he replied with cheer. ‘1
meant to time things so I could stop
for Charmian on the way back. I
think she’s grown thin on the exercise
she talks of needing—at least, she’s
looked so this last week. I'll run in
from the office before I start, Grand-
ma, and see if the letter’s here.”
“Thanks, sonny. Ezra comes early
in the afternoons. It’s real good of
him to come at all. We aren't on his
route, being right here in town this
this way. He says maybe it’s against
the law for an R.F.D. man to stop
on Main Stréet, but if ’tis, he’s not
going to find out! He saves Charmian

and we appreciate it. Just hang that
dish towel behind the stove. It'll
freeze stiff if you put it out teday.”
“Well,” murmured the old lady to
herself, when John Carter had’ es-
corted her back to her place by, the
window and gone out to his office, “I
donno quite what to make of that
young man. He looked the least mite
startled when I told him Jim Bennett
was what was worrying Charmian;
but after that one minute he was na-
tural as life, and he didn’t seem to
mind when I asked him to carry her
Jim's letter if it came today. I can't
make out whether he’s trying to act
square to Jimmy, or—” *

Grandma stopped abruptly, peering
from the window, and then said:
“Here comes Lizzie Baker. She's got
on ther ulster, and her old mink fur
piece on top o’ the lavender scarf
that Mrs. Merry knit her for a
Christmas gift. I’m sick to death of
that fur since the moths got into it
and ate a piece out o’ the back. I
hoped she'd stop wearing it when
Mrs. Merry gave her the scarf, but
she'd as soon think of leaving it
home after the first 0’ November, as
she would of leaving her false teeth.
She's coming in. Hello, Lizzie!
What's up today?”

“I wish the mercury was up,” re-
plied Miss Lizzie, as she dropped the
fur onto the table and began to un-
wind the scarf “It’s only six above
zero, and what it'll be by sundown
the Lord knows. I wanted to run in
this morning, Grandma, but I didn't
have a chance. Just as I put my
bread in the oven Luella Moore Pur-
die come over and made me burn it.
I clean forgot all about it, she talked
so fast. She'd betn having words with
the deacon and wanted to let off
steam. She never was one to keep
her affairs private. Seems that Edgar
wants to sell her house over to South
Wickfield, and invest the money to
better advantage; but Luella says
she’s going to keep it for a refuge.”

“She may need a refuge before she
gets through with Edgar Purdie,”
responded Grandma, “Sit down,
Lizzie. Take off your coat or you'll
never be able to squeeze into that
rocker.”

Miss Lizzie obeyed, remarking on
how warm and comfortable the house
was.

“You're lucky to have a man on the
place, Grandma; not that I miss what
T've never had, but the older I get
the harder it is to keep real comfort-

able without help. Yes, Luella was

city folks have what they call trial
marriages—if they get sick o' their
bargain they just split up. She told
the deacon hers was that kind, and
he called her a wanton! She sald if
ever such a word passed his lips
again, she'd clear out.”

- “Do tell!” ejaculated Grandma, “It
must have bean a fight.”

*T guess ‘twas. No wonder I burn-
ed the bread, hearing her tell about
it. Gam Garfield may have a law suit
on his hands yet! Dear me suz! that’s
news enough for one day, Grandma,
but it’s not all, I had a letter from

“Good land!" cried Grandma, “Has
she lost her mind, or is Jimmy going
to run it for her, the farm, I mean?
Jim couldn't run his mother’s mind if
he was to try till Gabriel blows his

trumpet.”
“It's more likely that she* runs
his,” replied Miss Lizzie. “George

K. told Jim that he could have his
old place at the bank whenever he
wanted it again; but it looks now like
he'd never come back. I suppose
they'll need him ‘round the farm.
You don’t have to milk fruit trees,
but I presume a man would come in
handy just the same; and Sarah'd
never let. Jim come back to Wick-
field without her, you can depend on
that.”

Miss Lizzie rocked violently for a
minute, while Grandma appeared to
be gazing into the street.

“Sarah Bennett's gone daft over
California,” continued the caller, hay-
ing caught her breath. “She says she
feels like a new woman; and thht
she’s missed Sophie something dread-
ful all these years without half
knowin’ it. Seems that Sophie's’ want-
ed a fruit farm for years and years.
She knows all about the business, and
they've gone into a sort of partner-
ship, Sarah providin' the money, I
presume, and Sophie the brains. And
here's the queerest thing yet, Grand-
ma; She never said one word about
Jim, or what's to be done with her
fine house here in Wickfield! Don't

Unclaimed Mail Sold

New York Post Office Holds Annual
Auction Sale a

And there being no higher bidder,
the eight “Wonder” whiffletrees,
sturdy enough to outlast a dozen
dray teams went to the woman from
Jersey for $2.

The Post Office Department held
its annual auction of unclaimed pieces
of mail at the department building at
33rd Street and Eighth Avenue, of-
fering a collection of 794 pieces which
had lain for a year and a day in the
unclaimed department.

The barrel of fish, authorities
said, had been kept on ice and was
in A-1 condition, but it brqught only
a dollar. A lot of canned sardines
brought more than that from the
same gentleman who paid $6 for a
quantity of hairpins sufficientto keep
an old-fashioned chorus supplied for
a lifetime.

A bid of $20 took the lot of 220
reptile skins, but the roller skates,
corsets, crutches and hot water bot:
tles went for far less.

Six dollars took the lot of false
teeth, partially filled with gold, and
$105 won one of the many fur coats
of a yalue estimated as high as $1,-
500,

There was lively bidding among
the 600 bidders, largely women, for
the 116 boxes of Jewish Chanukah
candles, but-the lot went for $2 to a
little woman from the east side.

Assistant Superintendent of Mails,
William Gutzell and William F.
Whalen, were. in charge of the auc-
tion. Among the other articles of-
fered were bed appliances, trom-
bones, hats, shoes, needles, automo-
bile parts, kitchen utensils, golf balls,
umbrellas, dumbbells, chisels, bras-
sieres, dolls and a quantity of hack-
| saws, mallets and fiies to outfit an
| entire mob of burglars with a kit cer-
tified by Uncle Sam.

Plastic Surgery Clinics

Six Opened In New York For Free
Treatment

New York City opened six free
élinics for plastic surgery. No other
U.S. community has so many such in-
stitutions for remodelling marred and
malformed humans. Like all free
clinics these have a double purpose;
to give the supervision of experts to
those too poor to pay for private sur-
gery; to provide pfactice material
for students of a specialty. Mere
beauty seekers were rejected from the
New York clinics. The first cases ac-
cepted were disfigurements and dis-
tortions caused by injuries demanding | P’
previous urgent operations where
there had not been time for cosmetic
repairs, Also accepted were persons
ravaged by cancer and tuberculosis.

The world’s most famed plastic
surgery hospital, Queens Hospital for
Facial Injuries, at Sidcup, Kent,
England, ceased functioning last au-
tumn. From its opening in 1917, it
handled 19,000 cases. Its most
skilled staff member, Dr. Harold Delf
Gillies, sometimes performed 30 sep-
arate operations on a single case.

years ago, he is now plastic. surgeon

Deaths from automobile accidents

all the warnings and precautions. In
1929 the fatalities in Canada, accord-
ing to a statement issued by the
Bureau of Statistics, numbered 1,294,
which was considered more than in
the previous year, and 50 per cent,
more than in 1927. The automobiles
in use have not doubled in three years,
and some other reason must be sought
for the increasing number of these
fatalities. Ontario alone had 551
deaths last year from automobile ac-
cidents, which is too high a price to

Exploring the Depths

Naturalist - Adventurer. Sets .New
Record In Deep Sea Diving

With both poles of the earth ex-
plored by land and air, and with only |
the most remote deserts of Asia and |
Australia still unmapped, it might|
seem that anyone travelling only a|
few hundred miles from New York
would have a difficult time finding
territory never before seen by man.
Yet William Beebe, the naturalist-
adventurer, has done that very thing.
Protected by a giant steel globe,

gen tanks, he has descended 800 feet
into the Atlantic ocean off Bermuda,
viewed the fishes and the plants, and
returned to the surface safe and
sound.

Mr. Beebe’s feat is particularly
outstanding when one realizes that
the greatest depth heretofore
achieved by deep-sea divers has
been only 325 feet. Yet Beebe now
plans to go on down to more than
thrice his 800-foot mark, striving for
the goal of half a mile.

For some years Mr. Beebe has
been revealing sources of adventure
in civilization’s back yard. His keen
eyes find drama even in the insect
life on a city rosebush. So it Is
scarcely surprising that he should
be the first to venture into an entire-
ly new world less than a sixth of a
mile beneath the paths of everyday
ocean liners —Philadelphia Ledger.

they may turn if these fatalities con-
tinue. Motorists and those interested
in motors owe it to themselves to de-
vise some method of keeping reckless
drivers in check and not to have
férced on them some plan tvhich may
be unjust and which may interfere
unnecessarily with both pleasure and
business.

Carrying Out Orders

Stenographer Obeyed Employer But

He had found fault with his typist
for altering a sentende in one of the
letters he had dictated. Her reply
was that she thought he meant what

torted the great man sharply. 4
want you to take down my words
accurately and then put them into |

Names Instead Of Numbers

Telephone Operators In San Fran-
cisco’s Chinatown Need Good
Memories
One of the points of interest in
San Francisco's Chinatown is the
telephone exchange and every oper-
ator must be equipped with a long
distance memory. There are 4,200
subscribers in this exchange and}

in making a call. For instance, if you |
wanted John Smith and there was
more than one John Smith in the di-
rectory, you would have to explain on
what street your John Smith lived,
what was his business or give some
other characteristis by which the
operator could identify him. It is thus
easy to-understand what a memory
an operator in a einen exchange
must possess.

Wide Traffic Laws

Uniform Dominion-wide traffic

Germany Planning Giant Airplane
To Challenge Dirigibles

An airplane company in Berlin
plan to make a giant airplane of
the “flying wing” type—that is, with-
out a body, everything being carried
Inside the wings—as a challenge to
dirigibles. It will carry 120 passen-
gers, with a “pay load” of 21 tons,
and will have a cruising range of 5,-
000 miles. It will have Diesel engines,
burning crude ofl.

The world will welcome a test
of this kind. So far, the Zeppelins
have had a monopoly among big
craft carrying many

our habyis
ea with

and have been the only trustworthy
trans-Atlantic flyers. They have the
great advantage of being self-sup-
porting in the air, whether their
motors are going or not.

The airplane though, has
peculiar advantages, the chief of
them being speed. The dirigible may
be blown back, or out of its course,
by a gale. A ‘plane can drive
through a gale.

Dirigibles find it hard to cross
the North Atlantic because of pre-
vailing head winds, although by
turning toward the equator they
can swim ahead in the trade winds,
as Columbus did. ‘Planes with
enough motive power, and enough
size for steadiness may solve the

FROM MOTHER
OF EIGHTEEN

In Because People
Are Less Wretched

Dr. Weeks told the London Licens-
ing Commission that the working
class is “emancipated” from alcohol-
ism. With his broad conclusion that
the drinking habits of the population
are improving no one will disagree.
Those dreary days of “drunk for a
penny and dead drunk for twopence”
are gone for ever. They were dreary,
and that is why there was*so much
drinking. Many turned to drink to
drown thelr wretchedness. Perhaps
the main reason why drinking is de-
creasing is that wretchedness is de-
creasing. For the masses the stand-
ard of living is today far too low,
but it is much better than it was 50

years ago—London Daily Herald.

Provides Unique Service
New Yorkers Can Park Their Goldfish
At Loew's Theatre

Loew’s Lexington Theatre provides
an unusual service for New York
people. When you go out of town,
you can leave your goldfish at Loew's
Lexington. There is a huge gold-
fish pool in the lobby and you simply
walk in and dump them into it. The
quaint custom was started in 1923,

East Sixties stopped in, with his fish
under his arm, and asked Mr. Craw-
ford, manager of the theatre, if he
could leave them there. Mr. Craw-
ford said he could, and the news of
this convenient service spread. Every
now and then a car drives up and a
chauffeur with a goldfish bowl gets
out and empties it into the pool. Peo-
ple never come back to claim their

tell which ones were theirs, and no-
body wants anybody else’s goldfish.
They buy new ones. The system keeps
the pool well populated.

Algeria’s Favor Favorite Sport

Camel Races Start and Finish In
Great Muddle

strides in Algeria as in some other
countries, but the natives there have
a competition which they enjoy and
which is amusing to spectators.

The sport is camel racing, and is

indulged in at big festivals. The
choice racer is a differcnt breed from
the dromedary. It is called the “me~
hari.”
The start of the race is very mud-
died, and the camels patter to a very
confusing finish. Often three or four
riders lay claim to first place and not
infrequently the conclusion sees a
fight.
The “jockey” is called a “mehar-
ist,” and he has marvelous command
of his mount. He uses neither bridle
nor bit, directing his animal by the
pressure of his feet and by pinching
the camel’s hide with his toes.

Plants Yearly Tree

Every spring for 48 consecutive
years, Cheney P, Whitney, of Short-
ville, N.Y., has returned to his old
homestead in Orleans and planted a
tree. Now ninety-three years old,
| Whitney has set out his fifty-eighth
tree. Every one he has planted sinca
1872 has thrived.

Canoelsts’ Paradise

park lie three important bodies of

smaller lakes, These large lakes are
so closely connected by waterways

lovely region which has been called

‘the prairies’ wonderland,”

There is a grocery store to about
800 persons In the United States.
