There are too many listeners around here. There'll be no- body at the station, It's only a few steps down the road, and you'll have to go there anyway to find out about your motor routes. Tim Boyce, the station agent, knows every inch of the roads of this region, both rail and the other kinds. And his brother has a car that I'm sure you can get. Just ask Tim to have his brother bring it around when you want it, He'll take you to heaven or the other place safe- ly, and he won't care much which place he heads for. “You'd better wake Miss Foster be- fore you go,” she went on, checking off finger number three, “so she can be getting ready, but, of course, you've already thought of that. And you can have breakfast at any min- ute you say.

Later came the news that Dorothy was very ill and Kate visited Alice at the laundry of BING LOY, with whom the latter lived, to discuss what should be done for the child. Following a painful interview with Alce, Kate, leaving Sing Loy's, sat down for a moment on a park hench, where, suddenly, she seemed to feel ~another presence close by her. of Allce's GO ON WITH THE STORY Kate Ward wanted to turn to look at the person whom she felt was sit- ting beside her. She couldn't. She seemed suddenly to have lost control of her muscles. She was held tense, her eyes staring straight ahead. Cars rattled by on the tracks in the street. Automobile horns sounded their warnings. People phssing were chattering, laughing. The atmosphere ‘was alive with summer-evening sounds. The woman on the bench was un- conscious of them. “You will meet him some day—you will not have long to wait. His name will be James—you'll learn to call him Jim—you might ask him about the trunk—you will not have long to walt—not long."” Kate was startled by the sound of a volce very close to her. She opened her eyes. She leoked about. The bench on which she sat was unoccupied except for herself. She passed her hand along its back. It was damp. A heavy dew had fallen. Her garments felt damp as she touched them. She stood. Looked at the clock in a distant tower. It was ten twenty- five. She had spent more than an hour on the bench. It passed like a sec- ond!

London, Jan. 1.—Plans have been formulated by several British histori- cal societies to erect an Imposing monument at Killingholme, on the lincolnshire side of the Humber riv- er, to mark the spot whence the Pil- grim Fathers departed for New Eng- land.* The socleties are at present seeking the cooperation of similar American societies in the movement. ! A VERY USEFUL GIFT, It was only & few days before little | looked as if it might give my house | Christmas when old Mr. Crow begged Jimmy Rabbit te give him, for & present, whatever it was that was In Jimmy's old traveling bag. Mr, Crow was very eurlous to know what th bag held, But Jimmy Rabbit wouldn’ tell him, Jimmy had even made M Crow premise not to look at th present until Christmas Day arrived, Anybedy that knew Mr, Crow eould have told you how hard it would be for the old gentleman to keep his promise, When he reached home with the traveling bag, whieh he had agreed to return to Jimmy on Christ. mas Day, Mr, Crow sat still for some time and stared at the bag. How he did t to know what was in it! “Jimmy Rabbit said that nobody could wear it, nor eat it, nor play With I, said to himself. And then all at ence he eried loudly, *I know! It's something to dreink! Ha! It takes Mr, Crow to guess a riddle, He's a wise old bird," Mr, Crow picked up the traveling bag. “I'll shake it and listen to the sound the present makes,"” he muttered, 8o he shook the waveling bag. But not a sound seemed to come from in. side it, “I wonder," thought Mr, Crow, “it a little ‘peep would count for a Whole look?" He was just about to persuade himself that it wouldn't, when he had another—and better—idea. “I'll feel of the present!" he exclaimed with a a chuckle. “That certalnly won't be looking at It. And no one can say that I didn't keep my promise.” He then opened the traveling bag. Next he set a foot inside it. He was and a puzzied frown came over his face. His foot seemed to touch noth- ing but the inner part of the bag. “This 1s queer,” he croaked hoarse- Iy. And he put his other foot in too. He wriggled his toes into the corners of the bag, hoping to discover some small object. But he found noth- ing. Mr. Crow promptly flew into a rage. “This is a chea he squawked. And fumping out of the bag, he peeped into it. He paw nothing. “Jimmy Rabbit played a trick on me,” he began to scold. And then he remembered that Jimmy hadn't told him there was anything in the bag. He had sald there was nothing in it that was good to eat, good to wear, or good to play with. It was old Mr. Crow that had fooled himself, by beg- ging for whatever was in the bag. “Well,” he thought, after his rage had somewhat cooled, “I may as well take this traveling bag back to Jim- my Rabbit now, instead of waiting until Christmas Day."” So he flew off into the woods, where he found Jimmy Rabbit and set the bag down at that young person's feet. “What does this mean?” Jimmy ex- claimed. “Aren’t you going to keep the present? Don't you want it? “I've decided it wouldi"t suit me,” Mr. Crow told him. “You sald this present wasn’t gdod to eat, nor wur, nor play with. If I accept a gift it must be a useful one.” “But I never said this wasn't use- ful,” Jimmy Rabbit declared. Mr. Crow stared at him. “What's it good for?” bluntly. “Tell me that!" “To breathe!" said Jimmy Rabbit. Mr. Crow had to admit to himself that what Jimmy Rabbit said was true. There was air inside the trav- eling bag, if there was nothing else, (Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.) y CZECHOSLOVAKIA IS REDUCING DEFICITS he asked Reports for the Year Show That Economy Has Been Fmployed in Administration of Government. Prague, Czechoslovakia, Jan. 1.— The budget of the republic of Czecho- slovakia for 1923 shows a deflcit of |¢ about 660,000,000 Czech crowns, which Is 870,000,000 crowns less than the deficit for 1922, and 170,000,000 crowns less than that for 1921, There are two interesting features in the document. One is the setting forth of the salaries of public offi- cials separate from all other items, so the total can readily be seen, and the other is that next year the budget is to be submitted to parliament in the form of a commercial balance sheet, This latter feature will make it pos- sible for parilament to determine whether the soclalization of industries is more productive and profitable than the use of private capital. Publie expenditure in vakia reached its maximum last year. The cost of running the government has increased steadlly since the founding of the republic four years ago. But 1923 promises a consider- able reduction which ultimately may be greater than is hoped for now. The 1023 figures show expenses of 19,370,000,000 Czech crowns, and revenue of 18,810,000,000.

London, Jan. 1.—The myster of the hermit crab, and the reason why he always lives with “messmates” of ; other species, has at last been cleared up. Dr. J. H. Orton, of Plymouth Ma- ! rine Blological Laboratory, whose pet oyster became famous by revealing to sclence the power of the mollusc to change its sex, has studied the rela- tionships of the common hermit crab and certain aquatic worms lives communally with it The conclusions reached by Dr. Orton are that both animails are bene- fited by their habits. The anemone derives advantages from the hermit erab by being dragged about with its tentacles on the ground, and being giten opportunities for picking up food left or lost by the crab. The crab obtains protection from firsh owing to the unpleasantness of the anemones as food. In the case of the worm, one was, Itmpunlty a plece of food observed to crawl alongside the body of the erab and literally take with from be- tween the crab’s jaws and bolt ft—an action tolerated by the worm's land- lord.

URGES TEACHING OF RURAL SOCIOLOGY Speaker at Meeting of Sociological So- cioty Declares Rural Ideals Have Influence. Chicago, Jan. 1.—An expansion in the teaching of rural sociology in eol- leges is needed because of the in- fluence rural ideals have upon the urban and national life, declared Paul L. Vogt of Philadelphia, speaking here at the annual meeting of the American Soclological society. “Rural life today presents a fleld almost untouched so far as the pos- sibilities of discovery of new truth is concerned,” he stated. “The teacher who can settle a problem in his own mind can hope to discover truths in this fleld that will make a permanent contribution to human welfare. “In the study of sociology a stu- dent will obtain greater ability to see the factors in community organiza- tion ,to note the tendencies of the forces operating for the strength or weakness of community life. It is an accepted educational principle that true growth in knowledge proceeds from thée known to the unknown. This being true we have a very important reason for the study of rural soci- ology. “The students in many of our col- leges and universities” come from rural communities. By uptilizing and analyzing his own experiences he pre- sents an opportunity for the teacher in rural sociology, who can bring to him a realization of the complexities of the life which he has been lead- ing.” Gossip’s Corner Three-Piece Costume A three-plece costume of black crepe, designed for early spring, is en- Urely covered with a design in black soutache braild. White satin collars and cuffs relieve the blackness. High Coiffure The high hair dress grows in favor. Frequently a profusign of puffs and curls are piled high on the head. Braids or colls of hair, tightly weund, outline the head at the hair-line. This is, of course, an evening coiffure. For Southern Wear One of the most beautiful gowns for southern wear has a bodice of black satin, joined to a skirt of white handkerchlef linen, fllet rose point and French embroidery skirt. A girdle of gold tissue cloth with many French flowers in pastel shades joins the two. Novel Finish An attractive trimming is seen on some pink crepe de chine lingerie. It is finished with a fold of fine white net, embroidered in pink circles. Lingerie Chinese embroidery is being applied now to lingerie as well as to blouses and gowns.
