I became provoked at the general order of as an employe and quit my job. A few months prior to this great event in life 1 had been asked by my employers to father a little tea room that they started, in conjunction with my many other duties. When I resigned my po- to do as I planned, farm for awhile, they threw up their hands in dismay _ and said, “What are we going to with this tea’ room, Colegrove, all decorated up with signs of Northold Farm products, fruits, poultry, vegetables, etc.? Are you go- tig to sell us the stuff just the same, or not?” To make a long story short, I left ‘the president’s office with the lease of this tea room in my pocket. It has been ‘™ore recently known as the Fraser-Paterson Tea Room, greatly enlarged, and the space finally taken over by them at the expiration of my lease for the sale of dry goods in their fast-growing store. _ During the time I was managing this tea room I lived on my farm, went back ‘and forth in the fresh air, got back my health and ambition and conceived NORTH- OLD INN, Seattle’s distinctly different Dining Place, Seattle’s original place for : Breakfasts, Luncheons and Table d’Hote Meals. It has been very successful. stands on its own record, as the politicians say. When the war broke out I con- the idea of opening a restaurant serving only foods recommended by the Administration—a really patriotic thought. This was to be known as Cole- és 's Specialty Food Shop. The idea fell flat. Customers, instead of wanting eat such food as was recommended at that time, were continually asking for food not allowable, or under censure, perhaps, at the time. I gave the idea up in dismay and started the small menu idea, serving only a few things, but trying to serve them a little better than elsewherre. It took. The kitchen stands in the middle of the floor, the bakers work in the windows; you smell the pies baking as you come in. “Some good smell,” many people say. The service is fast, we think the fastest.in the city. Don’t miss this place for breakfast—delicious waf- _fles and hot cakes always. _ Everything seemed to be going Pine street way, so I thought I had better have another restaurant, nearer the shopping district. The Totem Pole Inn proprietor | wanted to go to California, offered hig place for sale cheap, so I bought his lease | and conceived Colegrove’s Egyptian Kitchen, 1524 Third avenue. This new ven- ture will be open Wednesday evening, December the tenth. It is the best thing “IL have ever done. See this place once and you'll have much to say. Look for the ? on Third avenue between Pike and Pine. It is the largest of its kind in the “city. The eating place is typically Egyptian in its architecture and decorations, a really wonderful place to see. Cleopatra will meet you at the door. Mark An- _ tony will doubtless entertain and Caesar at the Northold Inn will get your money. [t will be another one of your nice places to eat. The service will be a little better usual. We gain by experience, you know, no matter how wise we think we Steaks, chops, entrees, tamales, chili, waffles, hot cakes, pastries, and ice will be served. Open 7 a. m., close midnight. Come and see this place once anyhow. | So far so good, but wait—in a few months I am going to open the largest cafe and dancing place on the Pacific coast. It will be of striking architecture, perhaps representing a temple of ancient architecture, seating about eight hundred people; it will have a fine orchestra and pipe organ. Just imagine yourself going up the steps of an old temple; looking down a long aisie with a wonderful vista, a splendid orchestra at the end, dressed in the costume of the period. Your view will doubtless | be interrupted by a large fountain and pool in the middle of which will be growing ferns and flow- ‘ers, ete The bottom of this pool will be mirrored glass reflecting the faces of your friends and acquaintances in the balcony or elsewhere. - You will dance around this pool; there will be room, at least, for two hundred and fifty couples ‘The kitchen entrances and dining room floors will be on both sides, slightly raised to give everyone | a view of the dances. The balcony will seat about four hundred people, each seat having a fine view of the dancers. Does it not sound good? Don't smile—it is going to be a reality. Sacred concerts will be given on ndays, with wonderful solos on the pipe organ. A shoppers’ concert on the pipe organ every Afternoon will be another feature; tea room servic: in conjunction. « Really, folks, 1 can’t wait till I put It over. 1: will be the best place for food and the nicest place for entertainment ever established on the Pacifi: coast. In the meantime, however, don’t forget to patronize Seattle's Three Best Places to cat, 1 surely will need the money. THE NORTHOLD INN, 214 University Street.

For & moment Miss Brecken- ridge stood trresotute in the doorway, then she reluctantly came tn. “You're just 17, Billy,” said the older woman, indifferently, “When you're 18, next March, | suppose you may do as you please, But until then either see a little leas of Joe Pick oring, or else come right out tn the open about it, and tell your father you want to nee him here.

But the kitchen was not within hearing distance of the quiet room where Radhael sat alone, and as the soft spring night wore on no sound came to disturb her revery. It was not the first solitary evening she had had of late, for Clarence had been more than usually reckless, d was developing fm his wife, altho she did not realize it herself, a habit of intro spection quite foreign to her real na- ture. She had never been a thoughtful ‘woman; her days for many years had run brilliantly on the surface of life she knew not whence the current was flowing, nor why, nor where it led her; she did not naturally ana- lyze, nor dispute events. Only a few years ago she would have said that to an extraordinary degree fortune had been kind to her, She had been born with an adventurous spirit, she had played her game well and boldly, according to all the standards of her type, she had won, But sitting pened that there were no more has- - }ards, no more cards left to play.

If it was @ cage, at least it was a comfortable cage; at loast it was better than the howling darkness of the unfamiliar desert beyond. And yet she raged, and her hurt spirit flung itself again and again at the bar: For some undefined reason Rachael rarely thought of the past. She did not care to bring its certainties, its panorama of blinded eyes and closed doors before her mental vision. But tonight she found herself walking again in those old avenues; her thoughts went back to the memories of her girlhood, Girlhood? Her eyes smiled, but with the smile a little twinge of bit- terness drew down her mouth. What a discontented, eager, restless girl hood it had been. after all. A girl hood eternally analyzing, comparing. resenting, envying. How she had se- eretly despised the other girls. typical of their class, the laughing, flirting, dress-possessed girls of a smal) Call- fornia town. How she had despised her aunts, all comfortably married and prosperous, her aunts’ husbands, her stodgy, noisy cousins! And, for that matter, there had never been much reverence in her regard for her mother, altho Rachael loved that complaining Uttle woman in her cool But for her father, the tall, clever, unhappy girl had a genuine admira tion. She did not love him, no one who knew Gerald Fairfax well could too tight for her unraveling. Truly it possibly have sustained a deep affeo tion for him, but she-believed him to be almost as remarkably educated and naturally gifted as he believed himself to be. Her uncles were sim- ply country merchants, her mother’s fat, cheerful father dealt in furniture, and, Ineidentally, coffins, but her father was an Englishman, and natu- rally held himself above the ordinary folk of Los Lobos, Nobody knew much about him, when he first made his appearance in Los Lobos, this silky-haired, round- faced, supercilious stranger, in his smart, shabby Norfolk coat, which was perhaps ene reason why every girl in the village was at once will ing to marry him, ng questions asked. His speech was @most a dif- ferent tongue from theirs; he-was 35, he had dogs and a man-servant, in- stead of the usual equipment of mother, sisters, and “hired girl,” and he seemed eternally bored and un- gracious. This was enough for the Los Lobos girls, and for most of their mothers, too. The newcomer bought a small ranch, three miles out of town, and # lounged about it in a highly edifying | condition of elegant idleness. He rode a good horse, drank a great deal; and strode out of the postoflice once a week scattering monogrammed en- velopes carelessly behind him. . He had not been long in town before peo- ple began to say that his elder brother was a lord; a duke, Mrs, Chess Baxter, the postmistress said, because to her question regarding thi rumor he had answered “Something of that sort.” (Con:
