On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise Batered as Seoond Class Mat " May a, 18 SEATTL E, WASH., MONDAY, JULY 31, 1922. BY A. A. MILNE (Copyright. 1922, EB. P. Dutton Co.) CHAPTER I In the drowsy heat of the summer afternoon The Red House was taking its siesta. There was a lazy murmur of bees in the flower-borders, a gentle cooing of pigeons in the tops of the elms. From dis- tant lawns came the whir of a mowing machine, that most restful of all country sounds; ; Making ease the sweeter in that it is taken while others are working. It was the hour when even those whose business it is to attend to the wants of others have a moment or two for themselves. In the house- keeper’s room Audrey Stev- ens, the pretty parlormaid, re- trimmed her t hat, and talked idly to her aunt, the cook-housekeeper of Mr. Mark Ablett’s bachelor home. “Funny thing..soout that Mr. Mark's brother.
