5o PAGE FOUR T ————————— THE POACHER —_————————= ‘By MILDRED WHITE Della brought her car to a stop, and sat up with a gasp of surprise. There before her at the bend of the road was the original of her favorite She had not fancied, as she often admiringly gazed at the beauti- plcture. ful water color of a qualut old house, that the house could possibly be real. More was it like an idealization of an artist. The picture had drawn her from its first hanging on the walls of the art store. Since then, it occuplied the Best wall space in Delia’s own room. She had ridden far, lost In her dis- appointed thought, well-kept state road into the rough one of the outskirts, Its unevenness had passed by unnoticed, as she won- dered for the hundredth time, why her latest story had failed to please. Delia had counted much upon that gtory. Heretofore she had been for- tunate in selling, what did this story lack? If she might go over it again, wholly concentrating her thoughts. Della smiled cynically; where in the hubub of her society home might she find concentration? Now she “knew what had caused her failure, the con- stant call to other things. And as if in answer to her conclusion before her guggestively loomed the isolated house. She was out of the car in & bound, a shrewd old Scotswoman' coming to open the deep set door, waited to learn Delia’s errand,. ¢ “It 1s so Festful ‘here,” she explain- ed breathlessly. “I wonder if you might be persuaded to take me for a few weeks as a.boarder?’ The neat Scotswoman consldered. “Well now,” she said, Sandy.” Sandy, her kindly old husband, was quickly agreeable. “What harm,” he asked, “when we are alone?” So arrangements were made for Delia to come upon the following-day. Installed in her hammock back along the hollyhocks, the Scotswoman left the girl with one injunction: “If you see any trespassers,”- she cautioned, “whistlg’for Sandy. There’s been many lately, coming to fllch our fruit or to fish in our stream. The streain mustn’t be disturbed.” “I'l whistle,” Delia promised, and she left her hammock to examine the stream. The water color had glven no prom- se” of this stream. It went rippling merrily on beyond the furthest trees. It looked invitingly cool on this hot summer day. Delia was possessed of an unruly desire herself to dangle a line and to filch. the fine fruit. She sat still Instead, watching a “prize FOR EXPERT SHOE REPAIRING - GO TO Bemidji Shoe Repair ; Shop across the street from Dalt- on’s Restaurant A. Patterson, Propr. A.

Della; she clapped her hands to frighten the fish. The man turned on her impatiently, then seeing her flushed cheeks and in- dignantly : glowing eyes, he smiled. “Well—” ‘he began, “what do you mean by that—" “I mean,” Delia answered steadily, “that you are trespassing and that you must have read the forbidding signs outside the wall.” “I .did,” the man admitted. “And yet you deliberately came to fish.” She decided: to whistle for Sandy. s ¥ “Did you Intend,” she added sar- castically, “to also help yourself to the fruit?” 3 “To a few of those choice plums perhaps,” the man replied. He calmly suited the action to the word. “What right have you to object?” the poacher questioned, he was smik ing. 1 “T live here,” Della answered hrief It was the man's turn to stare He did 'so unreservedly, while the per- plexity of his gaze gave way to frank admiration. “Live here?” he repeated.

(Cepyright, 1919, Westers Newspaper Unies) Houses of Presidents. In connection with the efforts to re- store the birthplace of Theodore Roose: velt, at 28 East Twentleth street, New York, it is recalled that an Aattempt was made several years ago to acquire the old house in which President James Monroe died. The project never got beyond the placing in 1905 of a memorial tablet on the house, The old house, one of the archalc structuref in the city, apd much the worse through years of neglect, 1s on the northwest corner of Lafayette and Prince streets. For years the lower portion was used as a junk shop. It still presents the charactoristics of the well-to-do residence during the early part of the last century—-three stories high, with dormer windo¥s protruding from the attic. The hotse 'was bullt by Samuel L. Gouverneur, who mar ried one of Monroe's_daughters. No Need of Haste. 53 There was & rookie in the ' same squad I was in who objected strongly to drilling.

It may be plowing, cultivating, harvesting, or housing of the crops. When conditions are right the work must be started and pushed with all possible speed if the farm is to pay a maximum return that season. Under such conditions the man on the job has no time to go to town, even to get necessary supplies,- and no one on the place can be spared for that purpose. < Some times it is necessary to send in for food, seed, or machinery, but for his " requirements _of petroleum -products, the farmer knows that he will be supplied by the dark, green tank wagon of the Standard Oil*‘Company (Indiana) which calls at Kis home as regularly, though - not as often, as does the man who brings Jhis mail. He has learned that he can depend upon this delivery service, and that the Standard 0il man will deliver his kerosene, gasoline and lubricating oil not only to his door, but, if needs be, to the tractor in the field— there are 150,000 tractors in the Middle West. This is the reason for the harmonious, close, friendly relations which always has existed between the Standard Oil Com- . pany (Indiana) and the-farmers of the £ Middle West. Also this is another reason 3 why the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) takes pride in its position as a public servant, doing an -exacting job as well as . it knows how, to the distinct advantage - of the man who raises the crops, and the millions who eat them. - Sté;nd_ard Oil Company , (Indiana) 910 So.
