By MARTHA WILLIAMS
: '
(?, 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Lucinda said spitefully : "If Gor
geous Jones is going, we others had as
well save our time, temper and wear
and tear by staying at home. Not a
man there will pay the least attention
to us unless she sulks and won't look
at anybody."
"Must be aggravatin'," Lem Lenox
bantered. "Running against sixty
thousand ? and father. It must be like
bluffin' when the other fellow holds
four aces ? and a pair of bowie
knives."
"You go to Halifax," Lucinda flung
at him. Lem bowed grandly, saying:
"With all the pleasure in life ? if only
I'm told what to go for."
"Heap of things you might try to
find ? almost anywhere," Lucinda re
turned acidly. "A civil tongue, for in
stance, and common decency ; and not
to make a fool of yourself ? same as
all the rest."
"Dear me, I'm learning things. Un
til now I didn't dream Halifax kept
school for all that." Lem returned,
Shaking his head, but meekly : "Say,
Cindy," he ran on, "let us plot against
the Endowed One. Seven sorts of a
fool in spite of her thousand-dollar
edjycashun she's forever talkin' about.
It should be easy ? "
"It isn't ? just because she is such
a fool," Lucinda interrupted. "Trick
ing her into makin' a show of herself
would be the same as eggin' on an
idiot?"
"Or even a widower-man?" Lem
twinkled wickedly over the query. Lu
cinda flung an apple at his head ? be
cause it was the thing handiest. He
caught it with both hands, saying
loftily: "Ah, ha, young person, I'm
getting on your curves. The white
haired one among Eve's daughters ?
that's what you must be ? tempting
one thus with apples from the happy
paths of folly ? "
"Quarrelln' as usual ? you two ! I
wonder you haven't worn the tips oft
your tongues at that game," Sue Da
vis Thompson hurled at them through
the opening door, following the speech
herself in a gale of laughter, and
thereby moving Lem to say : "You for
get, Sue Davis, rubber don't disinte
grate in the strongest acid."
"Go to ? Guinea," from Sue Davis.
Lem bowed gravely, saying: "Delight
ed, but I'm already under orders for
Halifax. Ladies, settle it betwixt you
which it shall be."
"I say, you better go home ? or to
heaven," Aunt Peg called from the
dining room, where she was setting
down cakes Jiot and spicy, fresh from
the oven. Lem sniffed and sighed,
saying: "My nose forbids ? and al
ways I follow it. Peggy, darling, cain't
ye produce the cake of peace? Stop
our mouths with ? what J'm smellin' ?
and I'll murder the next one who
dares to speak a cross look.*'
"Carried? Unan-i-mously !" Sue
Davis shrieked. Aunt Peg came to the
door, a glistening white cake held in
both hands higher than her head. She
shook it and said, smiling and twin
kllag: "Bait for your betters! Think
I'll waste it on you rowdy drap-shots?
No, sir-ee, Bob ! Billy Barlow can
eat every crumb of this; he's so cake
hungry, with a wife three months
buried. I'm aimin' to cut out Gorgeous
Jones with him. Cindy Is such a stick
in-the-mud, she won't even try ? and I
do want that man in the family ? his
life insurance is so handsome and he's
liable to make collection of it easy
next time he gets real cussin' mad.
Then think of the dignity ? Mrs. Judge
Barlow ! That alone *11 be worth this
cake and another ? "
"Peg, you mercenary wretch," Lem
exploded. Sue Davis couldn't speak
for laughing ? even Lucinda was gig
gling nearly as hard as she. It was
relief to hear lusty hallos at the
lawn gate, even though it meant
Lem's ushering in Judge Barlow, red
and puffing. Ruddy, massive, quiver
ing when he walked, he smiled at all
hands, saying as he sank upon the
settee: "Now ef I didn't love every
body in this house I'd have ye> up for
keepin' sech pizen mean dogs ?
wouldn't let me come nigh the yard
gate, ner get back in ray buggy.
Chased me inside the horse lot and
made me climb a wagon and stood
there yappin' and snappin' and dancin'
like everything ? "
"I know, Cindy's trained 'em that
way," Lem interrupted gravely.
Aunt Peg hissed at him :
"Liar!"
Stie Davis cried:
"Yes, she does, judge!" Whereat
Lucinda, with the courage of despera
tion, nodded, saying a little thickly:
"I see I must explain. I'm trainin'
them, you see, to give to poor, dear
Gorgeous. We all know how she is
bothered with all sorts and conditions
of men. Don't believe I could count
her proposals since her old man died,
yet I'm pretty good at. 'rifhmetlc over
! ordinary things. Aunt Peg is right
j ashy over the way she takes all eyes,
and Sue Davis turns like a spitting
cat at thought of her. Now, I like her/
she's so naive ? almost infantile ? "
| "Don't try to pull any of that book
stuff," Lem managed to gasp. The
I others were too stunned for speech.
The worm had turned with a ven
geance. Cindy was running on, "No
"book stuff at all, Lemuel. Real frozen
truth. You see, she confides in me,
knowing I don't aspire to rival her
anywhere', so I'm going to tell the
judge. She said to me only yesterday
4
mai ne was the man ihe'd like t*i
marry because he had more money J
than she did, so would be entirely dis
interested."
"Did she say that sure enough?"
Judge Barlow asked breathlessly.
"You go ask her If she didn't,"
Cindy counseled recklessly. "Quick!
I'll keep the dogs off while you get a
start, and offer both of you advance
congratulations."
The judge beamed. "I could kiss ye
for that, Cindy," he said, as they went
together outside.
"But he won't," said Cindy over her
shoulder in a stage whisper. Next
minute she was whistling up the dogs.
"A nice kettle o' fish you're fryin',"
Aunt Peg flung at her when she came
back, head up, eyes dancing. "Fine-1?
if you happen to like suckers," she (
said airily. "I've made a fine match
? and rid the neighborhood of the in
cubuses that were spoiling every
thing ?
"The plural is incubi," Lem broke
in loftily.
Cindy made a face at him, then
turned sternly upon Sue Davis with : J
"Unless you marry Lem inside of six
months I'll tell the curate how daffy
you were about him ? until you found
I out his curls were a wig. Understand
?I'm desperate ? tired of being put j
upon, picked on by all of you. I've ,
?kept Lem in hand for you, to save
him frcon fool entanglements ? now
I'm through ? he may do whatever he ,
pleases ? whether it leads to hanging
or matrimony."
"Tell me this,". Aunt Peg broke in: j
"Did Gorgeous really say that about
Billy Barlow?"
Cindy giggled. "No ? she only
thought it ? without knowing that she ,
did. You see,, I'm a mind-reader ? !
when the words are only 'of one syl- i
lable."
"I'm sure he never really thought j
of her," Aunt Peg speculated.
"But he will ? never you fear," Cindy 1
said, rising.
Lem stayed her retreat. "I meant
not to tell you till we were all at the
party," he said. "But Lee Delbert 1s
coming to it, a whole thousand miles,
to find out if you haven't changed
your mind. I've been writing him that
you would ? if he gave you the right
chance. By way of helping him to it,
hear this : Gorgeous, poor soul, pro- |
posed to him outright ? after he'd
played round with her a bit, trying to j
make you jealous. He didn't tell me ? i
she herself did. 'You told me once If
one found the values wrong the pic- ,
ture ought to be changed. Willing to
take your own medicine?"
"Yes," said Cindy bravely, with a
lovely blush. "But don't you dare tell
him so before I have the chance."
FASHIONS RULED BY THE LAW
Even Handkerchiefs at One Time
Were Regulated by 8tatute? Hifh
Hats Caused Sensation.
As for back as the reign of Edward
I there was a form of jumper in vogue
which was known as the cote-hardie.
In Henry IVs time the scalloping
of ladies' skirts was not allowed, for
in 1463 a law was passed against "the
cutting of the edges of sleeves or the
borders of gowns into the form of let
ters, leaves or other devices."
Even handkerchiefs were once regu
lated by law. There was an edict
dated June 2, 1785, and issued by
Louis XVI at the request of Marie An
toinette, which decreed that "the
length of handkerchiefs shall be equal
to their width." Since then they have
been square; and It seems likely that
they will remain so.
The top hat was Urst Introduced in
England by a Strand haberdasher
named Hetherington. Such a large
crowd was attracted that he was sum
moned on a charge of breach of the
peace and was requi*%d to give bonds
to the value of ?500.
A law was passed io the reign of
Henry I which even went so far as
to prohibit the wearing of long hair.
Such articles as boots did not escape
the eagle eye of the lawmakers, as in
an edict dated 1465 people were for
bidden to wear boots the pykes or
points of which exceeded 'two inches
In length. Anyone breaking this law
would be cursed by the clergy and
fined 20 shillings.
Long trousers appear to have been
first worn about 1812, and were at first
the subject of much amusement. They
were made fairly straight, with a strap
fastening them down at the bottom? j
a fashion that lasted some thirteen
years.
Then came the pegtop style, roomy
at the thighs and tight-fitting round
the ankles, which were discarded in
1850 in favor of the bell bottoms.
These were much the same as sailors
wear today.^ A little later the pegtops
again became the fashion, this time .
without the strap under the boot.
Finally, about 1875, "bags," just j
straight cut funnels, became the craze.
These were the forerunners of the
present-day style, the most marked dis
tinction being the "permanent turn
ups." ? London Tit-Bits.
No Waste in Cork. ,
In the factories where bottle corks
are made, special machines are made
which cut the cork into the size de
sired. The cork refuse and odd pieces
left over from this cutting process
are not thrown away, but are careful
ly ground down with mixed rubber to
make floor cloth.
Demonstration of Approval.
"Imitation Is the sincerest flattery."
"In that case," sighed Mr. Meekton,
"the only compliment Henrietta has
paid me in years was to put oa
knickerbockers."

IC ? Abraham, a Religious Pioneer.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
? Abraham, a Religious Pioneer.
\
I. Abraham's Ancestor? (Josh. 24:2,
14.
Abraham's people were Idolaters.
Very likely as a young man, he himself
worshiped idols. Tradition furnishes us
with some Interesting stories touching
his struggle against idolatry. At any
rate, his experience was such as to well j
qualify him to be the head of a people 1
whose God was the Lord. He knew how j
hopelessly disastrous idolatry was to j
the morals of the people, and, there
fore, would be able to lead them back
to God.
U. Abraham's Call (Gen. 12:1,
cf. Acts 7:2-3).
God came to him In Ur olj the Chal
dees and said unto him: '
1. "Get thee out of thy country.**
One Is tied to his country with a
strong bond. Abraham had lived long ,
enough to have formed strong attach
ments to his country.
2. "Get thee out from thy kindred."
Abraham was not only to leave be
hind him his native land, but his rela
tives as well, even his father's house, i
Since his kindred were Idolaters, he 1
most leave them. Abraham was to
become a pilgrim, to be without a
home. Even in Canaan, the only land
he ever owned, was a burial place.
3. "Into the land that I will show
thee." He was not ,toid what or where
the land was. He went out not know
ing whither he went (Heb. 11:8).
While he dwelt In tents during his
earthly sojourn, yet "he looked for a
city which hath foundations whose
builder and maker Is God" (Heb.
8:10). And thus he was a typical be
liever called out from his family and
country, and renouncing Idolatry, he
walked by faith, testifying to his and
succeeding generations to the faithful
ness of God. It costs to obey God, but
there is an abundant recompense.
III. God's Promise to Abraham
| (Gen. 12:2-3; 18:17-18).
, 1. The Father of a Great Posterity
( (v. 2). This has been literally fulfilled,
j He was not to go out primarily for
what he could get, but for what he
j could do. The minister and mission
ary forget their own personal bless
ings in the supreme Joy of their con
verts who are the fruits of their labor.
No name in all history fequals that of
Abraham in its honorable Influence.
His is the name of honor among Jews,
Mohammedans and Christians. They
all acknowledge him as father.
I 2. A Blessing to Others (vv. 2, 3).
He was not only to become great and
to share God's blessings, but to be a
blessing to others. He has become a
j blessing to countless multitudes. This
Is the prevailing law of the spiritual
life ? being blessed to. be a blessing.
Those who respond this law become
i the very touchstone of God, so precious
that God will bless them who bless
them, and curse those who curse them,
j God makes common cause with His
people. So vitally is He one with
them that it is a serious thing to mis
treat them. To maltreat God's chil
! dren is to lift the hand against God.
No one who goes against Him can
prosper. Not only is this so with ref
erence to wilful acts against His chil
dren, but neglect or refusal to do good
i to them. Christ regards all acts for
or against them as for or against
i Him.
IV. God Testing Abraham (Gen.
22:2-18).
Abraham's faith was shown In that
he obeyed the call of God and left his
land and kindred, but his faith
I reached its highest point In offering
| Isaac. For many years, -he had waited
' for the fulfillment of God's promise as j
to his heir. At last that promise was |
a reality. Abraham's hope was not the
ordinary hope which fills the heart of
every father,* that his name and wqrk
may be perpetuated through his son.
A new nation and the world's Savior
| were to spring up from Abraham
' through this son. Through this great
ordeal, his faith responded enabling ,
him to believe that God would give !
Isaac back from the dead (Heb. !
11:17-19). God tries all His children.
I The more Important, the more severe
the trial.

Fits any Standard Truck Body
So business can succeed unless its product is profitably sold. "
Most farms have a fine production department but no sales
department. They grow crops and stock bought by buyers who
set the price. ?
One of the chief reasons for this unprofitable situation is the
average farmer's poor facilities for moving his crops or stock
to die place where he can sell or ship to the best advantage.
Because of the time and expense of horse delivery millions of
dollars worth of produce spoils a&nually on American farms.
The saving of this waste would, in many cases, change a losing
farm to a money-maker.
This low-priced, high-grade, reliable truck was designed as a
money-saver and money-maker for farmers and business houses
needing fast low-cost haulage of heavy or bulky goods. It fits
any standard type of ton truck body. Ask any Chevrolet
dealer for price of the style of body you require.
