By DORA H. MOLLAN (Copyright, 1919, by the McGlure News- paper Syndicate.) . The Ethiopian lives over the kitch- en range in the basement of 46 Dar row street, New York city. .Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Lee reside on a ranch near Cody, Wyo. Kvery year they Journey over the intervening space on e swift limited amd make their obej- wance to_the grinning slave. Whony ‘black, with an orange smile, lie atands ever patiently bearing aloft on his flattened palins a woven basket of gorgeously colored tropical fruits. Quivering heat waves rise around hi stalwart form, but to such a temperg- ture he inherits immunity. The dark 2 city kitchen with its dismal -outlook TS steals- something of the spirit of the “Thousand and One Nights” from his colorful presence. “For three years now have Mr. and Mrs, L¢e made the pligrimage to this shrine.~,.And just.four years and two months ago the events -took place, grateful memory of which brlngs them back. In those days Mrs. Stanley was Evelyn Brooks, fashion artist for the Standardized ' Pattern company, ' and Stanley was making his first ranch- man’s business trip East. He not only belonged to the West, but looked it, for he was tall and broad, with the keenly interested eyes of the plains- man, and his sartorial preferences ran to corduroy, soft shirts and the lke. So he was dressed at nine o'clock on this morning as he ran down the two flights of stairs which led from his aunt’s apartment to the basement kitchen in the house on * Darrow street. . Aunt Mag was all right and a good sport, Stanley was thinking on the way down, even if she had horrified the Cody folk last summer, driving to town dressed in a queer, shapeless garment of bright green, with sandaled feet and floppy hat, embroidered with impossi- ble flowers. He grinned as he recalled the commotion -she had caused in the post office. But all the same, this way of living “got his goat—staying up most of the night and sleeping until noon, Ilke d bat. Four hours after his usual break- fact time, and not a sound from his nu_nt'l room! Her'1ast words before bidding him good night had been: “Stan, dear, if you get hungry, before I'm up in the morning, just run down stairs and cook yourself something. There is 4 community kitchen down in ‘the basement and youl ind my things ~ on & shelf lnbelad with my name. Help yourself.” Stan didn’t exactly like the idea of tnnum around In some one, else’s holue. but he was desperately hun: ; 80 he tried a door that looked as 2 it might open into a kitchen. Tt 4id, but the room was so gloomily ‘dark that he lighted the gas. Just then the door bell rang. " Stanley stood still and listened, hnt there was no sound of steps along the + bare floor of the hall, and again it rang. So he ran up the basement stalrs and opened the door. On the steps ‘stood a girl. She was quite good to look*upon, dressed in an un- ‘dsual shade of blue-green, with hat to match, trimmed with small flowers of many colors. . The young woman appeared perhaps a bit surprised when this big young man opened the door, but temarked m a quite ordinary tone of voice: “I éametto paint over the kitchen stove.” Now, Stanley knew enough, from his short experience of this casual, bohe- mian life his aunt led, to he prepared the agility of a squirrel. Though -Stanley Lee’s tongue bad |. been idle, his eyes had refused to go on a sympathetic strike, aid what he saw was a slight, almost boylsh figure, in a becoming smock of bright or- ange. Then he spoke—actually spoke, “Wouldn't’ my fussing around here bother you any? Yon see, my aunt, ‘| whom I am visiting, 1sn't up’ yet, and I'm nearly starved.” The lady of the pigments’ absorbed in her work, replied that it would not —not at all. But she did not add what she was thinking, that this was quite the handsomest man she had.eeen for some time. Under her factle brush the bright colors took shape, and in | Stanley Lee’s mind an intention took shape—not to leave on the néxt day as he had intended, but to stay @ while and cultivate this girl's ac quaintance. Perhaps she would go to some shows with- him. Even so, she did. Aunt Margaret ‘appeared opportunely and got together lyn’s partielpation in it, and Stanley took bis courage in hand and suggest- ed that “show” idea; and théy went to the show, and more shows; and not only .to' the theater, but oace to the opera and to a concert and hunted up several queer and lntereatlng places with a mop of short black hair, clad to dine ' together—and for a week | the Ethioplan over the kitchen range remdfned blind as a mole for | want of ‘eyes, and it wasn't till Suaday again thit Evelyn got her breath and Insisted that- the Ethioplan mun be Onished. ‘8o again she came with her brushes and paints, and this time Stan- ley was on the alert and let her in at the basement door In a jiffy. But he | was #tiff and silent; while the artist girl busied herself with her prepara- tions and quite forgot to lepd her a hand as she climbed the stepladder. For many minutes he watched the deft hand giving sight and life to the blaz- ing picture of the slave. Then he blurted : R “You've made a man of him; a regu- lar, breathing, living men. But he won't even say ‘thank you, ma’am.’ You can do as much for me, Miss Evelyn, if you will, and I'll be 8 heap sight more willing slave to you than that chap up there, happy as he looks. Here you're just doing things:for dead walls—come out to Wyoming and fill with warmth and color 2 human life!” Evelyn looked down at him from the ladder for a long minute. Then she -climbed down ‘and said: “Stam, that's the biggest commission I ewer had. I'll undertake it.” Do you wonder that they love the Ethiopian and come’ back every year for a little fling in New York under his (rlnnlng rhnperonage'l Great Wealth in ivory., To the northeast of the mouth of the Lena—which Is one of the great rivers of the v.orld l'lllll‘ in east- ern Stiberia and flowing northward to the Arctlic ocean—is a group of islands which must formerly have been con- nected with the mainland. There an American naval expedition, which sought survivors of the ill-fated Jean- nette, found deposits of mammoth tusks that were literal ivory mines. The frozen soil of the islands was 8o crowded with mammoth skeletons as to suggest that the mighty pachy- derms must ‘have had there a “dying place,” to which, through thousands bf years, they resorted when death ap- proached. Ljeutenant Sehuetze. who was a member of the expedition, told the writer that there was a big for- tune to be gained by a few adventur- ous men who should take a stanch vessel through Bering strait at the opening of the arctic summer, dig"for ivory and return in half a {dozen weeks. They would encounter perils, however, for the coast s most inhos- pitable and almost uninhabited, for the unexpected, but at this strange announcement his mouth half opéned and he looked quite idiotic, for no words came from it. In the first place i was Sunday morning, and in the sec- ond the girl was not only well, but expensively dressed. Handsome young women ln costly clothes coming around on the Sabbath to do a job of house painting were ut- terly outside his experiences. * Stan’s’ thoughts were becoming even more hopelessly muddlied when the girl epoke again: “I left my materials at the basement door and I will go and get them IY you don’t mind letting me in- that- way—would you?' And as Stan seemed still to be in a sort of trance, she added: "“Miss Sanderson expects me, but I presume she hasn’t arisen yet” And she ran down the ltm. Stnnley reeovered enough to close -‘the door, make, his - way downstalrs again and admit this unaccountable visitor at the basement entrance. She’ knew the landlady, evidently, -so 1t must be all right. He helped, as a| matter of course,. Wit the brushes and pails, but mn nmnlned tongue- Hed. " When they gained the kitchen the young woman asked Stan to bring the stepladder from the laundry, and pro- “eseded to remove her hat. and coat. When he returned .with the ladder the girl stood on the far side of the room gazing at the painted area of wall di- rectly above. the set-in range. “You see,”. she said, “these walls xo such a horrible, gloomy color, and e agent just won't do another thing to the house. Miss Sanderson can’t afford to do .them over. herself, so 1 ‘offered to paint something colorful up there. = Don’t you think fruit would be ‘nice?” .t 4 1 © “But that’s rather tame,” she con- ‘tinued - speculatively; then, her face 1lluminated by a sudden idea, she ex- elaimed: “Oh. 1 know!" and betook — e ——— The Art of Talking.

Latin Words in Use. Many Latin words crept into our ‘tanguage through Rome’s mfilitary con- quests. For instance, castra was the Latin word for camp, becoming ches- ter in English. 8o Colchester, Dor- chester, Winchester, and similar names indicate English cities which were once Roman :camps. When the Pil- grims came to America, they gave to many new settlements the names of: English towns which they still loved. You will find other equally interesting words which have coine into. English directly from Latin. And even now you may like to know that there is a real, though long-drawn-out connection between our mother tongue and the Latin language of the old Romans.—- Christian Science Monitor. 3!
