The bright red strawberries with the whipped cream on top made the cake look like beautiful sea foam. Around 1t were the lovely lights of the different colored candles. “‘Now, be very careful in eating the shortcake,’ said Beatrice’s mother, “‘Oh, what, mother? A ring? shouted Beatrice. . “<Just wait and see,’ replied her mother, and just at that moment Beatrice cried, ‘1 have somethingl’ But, oh, how tRey all did laugh when Beatrice brought forth a large white buttonl with a blue stone in it, a bright silver thimble, a little gold heart, a tiny silver pig and a wee wax doll. “And such fun as they ail had!

There was a little ring Beatrice's little friends bad picked.” Getting at A Secret By DWIGHT NORWOOD Jim Hathaway and I were not only chums, but oocupled rooms in the same bachelor apartment house. Jim was a secretive chap and especially fond of making a mystery of what was an ordinary bappening. 1 poked fun at bim for doing so, but this seemed to bave no effect in stopplng him from continually trying to impress me with his ability to do things without my having any knowledge of them. Then when the denouement came he would assume an air of superiority as much as to say, “l1 don’t go about blabbing of my affaire.” There came a time when I belleved that Jim had an affair on hand with a girl. The reason why I came to this conelusion was that he began to show a contempt for women. “The best thing a fellow can do with a ginl,” he would say, “is to let her alone. By doing s0 he avoids the expense of the- ater tickets and flowers, only to find out later that she's encouraging some other fellow.” I was not interested in Jim's love affairs, but 1 saw no reason why be should take pains to deceive me in the matter. However, it did not trouble me that be thought proper to do so. | was very fond of him and considered his idiosyncrasy of no real importance, not doubting but that I had others myself just as absurd. Jim and I occupled a commor living room, and one evening when we were about to go out to dinner together Jim picked up an envelope that had been left by the postan during the day, unsealed, and took out a booklet ad- vertising some kind of goods. I mno- ticed him looking at it, or some part of it, with apparent interest; then he tossed it in the wastebasket. The next morning I happened to go to that same wastebasket to recover a bit of paper I bad thrown fn it con- taining ap address. | stumbled on the envelope containing the adveetisement and noticed that it was addressed in a feminine hand. 1 thought nothing of this, since girls are usually employed to address advertising matter, and was hunting on for my paper when I raked up the advertisement. It gave a list of articles that would alone interest a woman. This set me to thinking why it should bave been addressed to a man, While meditating on this I no ticed some lead pencil marks on the booklet. They were 8. 16. 7% Now, bad it not been for what 1 bave sald about Jim and his mysteries it would not have occurred to me that these figures were not mecrely some thing put there by some unknown per- son for some very ordlnary purpose, but intended for a cipher. Firet, ad- vertisements of especial Interest to wo- men are not usually malled to men. This suggested that the booklet bad been recelved by a woman and had been used for cipher purposes by the reciplent. What better method for com munication could there be? Whether the figures had a meaning or not, I re- solved that if 1 ever got a girl whose parents would not permit me to visit her | would use this plan of communi- | cation. ! " letried bard not to pry into Jim's af- ! tairs, but the puzzle was too fascinat- | | ing for me to let alone. Besldes, there was the temptation to beat Jim at hie own game. What 8 16.TH% meant baunted me till 1 bit upon the fact that ) . changed at once to ope of flerceness. i arrested as a French spy. Theé reason why I counted on Jim's coming marriage was that it is difficult 1t not impossible for two men to live together one of whom is engaged with- out the other knowing it. Jim never told me of his engagement tll a couple of weeks before the wed- ding. There had been no reason what- fi{ for the fecrecy attending the af- §X¢ept sUCh as influendds Poung couples in similar ¢4B88 And Jim's idio- syncrasy. The girl'y parentw were much pleased with the match, and Jim's parents were not living. Jim probably would have kept the secret from nié iohger, but he wished me to be his best man, and it was proper that he should give me timely notice. The evening before the wedding 1 carried m&.!.ddlnc gift I had pro- cured to bride's home. Jim was there, and when I opened the box In which it was contained Jim started as it he had been shof I laughed, ex- plained the joke to the bride, and we all laughed together. But I kept them wondering for many months before 1 told them how I had got on to thelr secret. That cured my friend of making mys- terles out of very small things. Ever afterward he was frankness to perfec: tion.

Maker of the National Steel reinforced concrete Burial Vault Building Blocks of all discrip- tions. || Red Cement, Pressed Brick, In the spring of 1914 I joined the Eu ropean Invasion of American tourists and made Germany my stamping ground. Before leaving home I sent to Washington for a passport, for, though at the time there was not much prospect of using one, I preferred to be provided. The document described me as Edward Boyer, aged thirty-one, five feet eight inches high, eyes, hair and complexion dark. In Berlin I contracted typhoid fever, and when 1 recovered my hair fell out, leaving my skull as polished as a plece of fvory. On the 28th of July the bomb of the Buropean war exploded and 1 was ad- monished that if 1 wanted to get out of the war zone and back home I must bestir myself. I had mot yet recov- ered my strength, but 1 was due in America’ on the 18th of August and resolved to start at once. The first thing needed was a wig. sallled forth to get one, baving jus an hour before the train on which was to lpave would start. This ga' me about twenty minutes to proc a bair head covering.
