UBA CARTER Minch had been more than 20 . It was a peculiar friendship. Zubs was_angular and dark and never smiled. Her stomach was delicate and her life was made up of petty things, chief of which was to supervise the comings and goings of Miranda Minch. Zuba was a dressmaker, that is, she made over people’s old clothes for them, but seldom was Intrusted with anything new to work on. Miranda Minch was 64 and Zuba 60. Miranda had worn herself out caring for her husband, who had been much older than herself and an tnvalid, and during the vears in which she had carefully tended him and been unable to leave the house for fear “Sandy,” as Mr. Minch was called, would set fire to himself with his pipe. Miranda had depended much upon Zuba to run errands for her. In fact, for weeks at a time Zuba had been almost the only means Miranda had had with which to communicate with the outside world. For Sandy, tied to the house as he was, burned with Jealously lest some one should look with favor upon his “old wom- an” as he always called Miranda. In fact, Miranda had been called old so long that she never thought of herself as anything but an old woman. ~ And Zuba, proud of her being four years younger than Miranda, after Sandy died kept right on referring to Miranda as one being too old to expect to get much more out of life. She insisted that there was very little - Miranda to do but see that her al clothes were kept in readiness, for, of course, it would only be a matter of a short time now before Miranda would be called upon to join Sandy in his long sleep, For and Mrs. friends for first few weeks Miranda felt quite as hopeless as Zuba said . But after a quiet, rest- ful Winter, with plenty of time to sleep and eat and a chance to run the died after NEVADA NAVAL DEPOT SELECTION NOT FINAL Ordnance Reserve Site Considered Favorably, But Decision Is Yet to Be Made.

She began to take on flesh and one beautiful Spring morn- ing while she was out in her small front yard raking away the debris which had accumulated during the Winter she actually felt’ a thrill at the thought that Summer was com- ing with its flowers and sunshine. She was glad to be allve and be- fore she realized it she found her- self whistling a half-forgotton song. Her first impulse was to check the song, but before she could quite make up her mind whether she had been wrong In indulging in anything as frivolous as whistling she was artled by some one “Hoo-hooing. She turned and saw one of the Freneh girls running down the street waving a big pink paper in her hand. “She don't mean me,” thought Mi- randa. But it was very soon evi- dent that Patty French did mean her, because she cut across the yard and held the flaming pink thing be- fore Miranda’s astonished eyes. “Read that,” Patty demanded. “This says the Flints are selling out everything in their store at 25 per cent reduction. The sale begins at 9 o'clock this very morning. May and I are golng and we wang to go with us. T got dressed first, but May will be right along. Run in, Mrs. Minch, and get ready.

By the time May French called she was ready and they joined her and the three women hurried, chattering, down the street to the big department store which had advertised the big sale. It was a wonderful sale; things fairly cried aloud to be bought. It had been years since Miranda had been in a store with any one but the solemn Zuba, who stified any impulse Miranda might have had to buy anything but old woman stuff. The French girls were so enthusiastic that Miranda found herself buying wonderful things. For a time at least she forgot that she was not as young as they. Her purcha reached such proportions that the obliging clerk insisted upon having the things sent home for her, and when at last, satlated with the joy the French girls and Miranda wended their way up the street to their homes she had such a look of revived hope and happlness that May and Patty exchanged wondering looks. It was as if a prisoner long used to the dark and chill of an underground dungeon had suddenly been given freedom and led out into the warmth and sunlight of full day. It was like the joy a butterfly might feel when it has es- caped from its chrysalis after its long Winter sleep and felt the warm sun and smelled the fragrance of many flowers and rejoiced that Summer was before it. The girls left Miranda at her own door almost with a feeling of awe at the sight of her bared soul. Patty and May went on up the street toward their own home and they were just turning in at their gate when they met Zuba Carter com- ing out with a package in her hand. Zuba was an inveterate borrower and the girls knew that their mother had literally been held up again for some- thing. * Patty trled to see what it was, but it was May's sharp eyes that discovered what was in the bundle, and in corsequence she startel to tease, “l see yvou've borrowed the silver again, Miss Carter,” she said. I bet you are going to invite the minis- ter over to supper again. But you might as well give up setting your cap for him, for when he sees Miranda Minch in the new taupe satin dress, silk stockings and nifty shoes she just bought he won't look in your direc- tion again.” “I don't believe a word you say, snapped Zuba with fire in her rk eyes. “Miranda Minch hasn’t bought s0 much as a pin without consulting me for more than 10 years. And besides I wouldn't allow her to buy anything but black, and, anyway, she don’t need no new dress, her black silk is plenty good enough for her to be laid out in. I've told her so again and again and she’ll make a fine looking corpse—- “Well,” said May French mis- chievously. “I predict that she won't be a cor for a good many years, but she will be a fine-looking bride in that taupe satin, especially if she has a touch of creamy lace on the walst. I can shut my eyes right now and see her standing before the altar, with the Rev. Mr. Spicer all dressed up in his best black. I suppose, don’t you, Mi: Carter, that the bishop will marry them: But Zuba did not walt to hear any more. She tore down the street and flounced into the house where Miranda Minch still sat enveloped in all the glory of her emancipation. What happened between the two women no one ever exactly knew. But Zuba, to the joy of all the neighbors, was thoroughly vanquished.

By the Associated Press MADISON, Wis., October 30.——Near- ness of election day here stirred up political activity in Wisconsin, where Gov. John J. Blaine, a Progressive, but the nominee of the Republican party for Senator, is being opposed by Charles D. Rosh, Independent. Upon the heels of a statement by Senator Robert M. La Follette, ap- pealing for Blaine's election and pre- dicting that Progressives would hold the balance of power in the next Senate and perhaps in the House, came the declaration of Rosh's cam- palgn manager that he would ask for a warrant charging William L. Evijue, editor of the Madison Capital Times, with violation of the corrupt practices act. H. W. Adams, the campaign man- ager, stated that the warrant would he based on an editorial in the Capital Times, which said that “Mr. Adams has been trying to connect with the State pay roll for six years."” Again ~the progressive group in Congress, which in the past has ac- complished so much in the public in- terest, will hold a position of power and have larger opportunity to uphold and to guard the interests of the great majority of the people a; oly confrol of the few, wollette declared. “The reactionaries in and out of Wisconsin are making a desperate ef- fort to defeat John J. Blaine because they know that his election to the Senate will give power to the progres- sive group,” he said.
