Love’s Awakesiing By Adele Madge Swspects Edith of Purposcly Delaying the Sending of the Dec- oretions (0 Embarrass Her—and Takes to Turm the Tables. 1 turned from the telephone after my frutless effort to get hold of Edith Fairfax, and 1 looked at Lu-| lian helplessly. “She's gone for the day,” I told her, “snd 1 haven't the slightest idea where she ordered those flow- | ers and things. 1 spoke of it onc ! but she didn't hear me.” Lillian looked at me pityingly. “What meat you'd be for a thre shell man,” she said. ““Didn’t hear you? It is to laugh. But how rd like to have her within reaching | i distance about now.” | She opened and closed her hand| Iput into words expressively and which had the dismaying thought come to me. “Do you suppose she hasn't or- dered the things at all?” “Qh, no. Our Edith isn't so in- artistic as that. She's ordered them all right, just exactly according to your list, and they will be exquisite. But she's arranged that they get here at the last minute, so that you will have no time to dress. Anl, mark my word, she’ll stroll in per- fectly dressed a half hour or so be- | fore dinner, and finding us up to| our cars in getting the flowers ar- | ranged, will don an apron and, sum moning Dicky to her aid, will bring| order out of chaos while we dress. And who so profuse in her apologies as Efficiency Expert Edith? Madge, it you let her get uway with this,| Tl tomahawk you with my owa hand: “Don’t worry,” I retorted grimly. “Let me thing it out.” 1 dropped into & chair and cov- |y ered my eyes with my hand for a | minute or two, I did not wish 1o plan my course as much as an op-| portunity to get hold ¢ —yself anJ control the rage axrinst Edith 17 'r- fax which was shaking me. But when I looked at Lillian again 1 was ready for battle. “What is the name of that bell boy who brought our lunch up?” Ll eyes flashed. Spolling Edith’s Plans “You've hit it. You mean the on: | who's going to double as a waiter for the dinner. Purnell is his name, and he's’ the niftiest darkey this| side of Mason and Dixon's line. There's nothing he can’t or won't| do, and he's in his element when | 's surmounting difficulties.” 1 I rose and walked to the tele-| |the man to come The Heurt Story of a Steadfast Womar Garrisen “Please, send Purnell up to Mrs. Graham's apartment,” 1 said, anl then turned back to Lillian. “Here's the program,” I said de- cisively, “We'll get everything ready for the things Edith was to orde:. We'll lay the table with the linen and silver and service plates, and glass and candlesticks. Then you jand 1 will dress at our leisure, aft- ler which we will don big aprons and arrange the roses and candles |u|\puvkvd and laid out for us.

And further to ease mind, {let me tell you that Purnell is per- | fectly capable of arranging the ros- {¢es also, if you are hard pressed for time, Just tell him what you want done with them.” ‘I'll remember that,” T said, hop- ing secretly, however, that I would | not have to relinquish the arrange- | ment of the flowers—a task I love —to anyone. But 1 set my teeth with the grim determination that | Purnell or any other person save | Edith Fairfax should decorate mv | table it I did not get time to do it myself. “There's the gallus lad, now,” Lillian said as somcone knocked, and when 1 opened the door, a small, smiling colored man, with an ingratiating manner which was per- {fect even though laugh-provoking, | stood outside. | “You are Purnell,” 1 said, beck- |oning him 1n, g M sis Graham, Purneli’s my name. His manner seemed to reach out and put u shield between me and 1 troubles. 1f he had murmured, here! there! Don't cry. Leave it all to Purnell,” it would not have been incongruous with his attitude. “I believe you are to wait upoa table for us tonight.” “Yas'm, 1 have been told I am to have that pleasure.” I neard a chuckle from Lillian turned instantly into a cough. Not daring to look at her, I motioned irte the next room, If I stayed in Lillian’s vicin- ity 1 feared I should laugh, and 1 dared not risk offending this ap- parition from Heaven as I mentally termed him in gratitude for the aid I expected him to give me in coping with Edith Fairfax's scheming.

Burgess Who doth much time devote to fish- ing Is given over much to wishing. —Old Mother Nature The home of Chatterer the Red Bquirrel was over in the Green For- | est and there's where he stays most of the fime. He had built his nest in an oak tree over near the Laugh- ing Brook, where it runs through the Green Forest. Now the Laugh- | ing Brook has many visitors. Many | ‘come to it to drink. Some use it as sort of highway. One of these is| Billy Mink. And many visit it to try| to catch fish. Of late, Chatterer had heard a good deal of complaint. He had heard Farmer Brown's Boy one day over there muttering to himsclf. Farmer Brown's Boy was fishing, but he wasn't catching fish. It was this that he was muttering about. Another day he discovered Billy Mink sitting on a rock in the Laugh- ing Brook. Billy wore a look of dis- gust. “Hello, Billy Mink. what's the matter with you?”" exclaimed the Chatterer. “You look out of sorts “I am out of sorts,” replied Bil! “Never have I known the fishing to be worse than it is now in the Laughing Brook. I don't know what has become of all the fish.” | The very next day Chatterer saw Buster Bear coming down from the Laughing Brook. He knew by Bus- ter's actions that Buster was watc)- ing for fish. He had seen Buster catch fish before. But Buster was- n't catching fish. In his deep rum- bly-grumbly voice he was talking to himself. “Such fishing! Such ¢ grumbled Buster. “Where the fish gone to? 11 like to know | it Billy Mink and his family and Little Joe Otter and Lis family have cleaned them out.” “I dow't know about Little Otter. but 1 can answer for Mink." replied Chatterer. “Only terday T heard Billy complaining that some one had fished this brook 80 that there are hardly any fish left. If it had been Billy and his family he wouldn't have been com- plaining of other people.” When Buster Bear passed on. P'ii- er Rabbit came out from a hollow log. where he had been hidir “Buster seems put out.” said he “He isn't having zood fishing.” plicd Chatterer. “He's bheen grum- bling to himeelt all the the Laughing Tirook.” “I hear the same comnlaint other fishermen.” replicd Rattles the Kingfisher veady to give up the as a fiching ground.

They've died all right,” re- plied Chatterer. “The question is. how and why did they die? T haven't seen so much as one sick minnow this spring. I haven't seen a single sick trout of any size. Somebody has | been catching those fish.” | “Well. T'd like to know who it is.” | said Peter. (Copyright, 1 29, T. W.

Attempts have been made to feed keratin diets fo sheep, because the quality and thickness of the coat of the shecp is a matter of commercial import- | ance. | The chief content of keratin is a | chemical substance containing sul- | phur known as cystine. The Igh | content of hair in cystine and the | possibility of measuring the growtn | of the hair made it important to | conduct some experiments on the feeding of cystine, Investigators in the University of Michigan have re- cently completed work on this sub- ject.
