And I'd have gone along if I'd known any thing to talk to him about. The only interest we have in common is you. But for all Nicoll's likableness and all my magnanimity, I swear I couldn't quite pull off an evening as his guest with you the only topic of our mutual talk. So we exchanged tobacco, shook hands, and said by-by. Then I came upstairs, switched on the lights all over the flat to make things seem less dull, fed the cat, played your favorites on the footpow- er piano, Nread the evening papers (and your letter for the th time) and sat and thought. Finally, like the famous custodian of Blarney Castle, I didn't even "set an' think." I'jes set." He's a queer chap, that Roy Ni coll. I can't decide whether he's Don Juan or Sir, Galahad. Sometimes he seems the most Platonic old chap on earth. Then again I'm confoundedly sure he is interested in you with an unholy interest. I get all churned up over it and want to go and shoot him. Then I think of what you wrote about Lucy Benton how, "we all have our Lucy Bentons."

Here am I with a wife who says that a little house and four little walls, a kitchen, a clothes closet and a purse kept filled by somebody else are not enough to satisfy her. A wife who insists on earning what she spends. And yet, withal, a wife who is every thing the ideal wife should be. Here I am with all this, and yet DARING to question for an instant a thing that adds to her pleasure or her happiness. Yes, I am ashamed, . Janet, darling girl, for I am sure Roy Nicoll with his wealth and his motors and his breezy personality DOES add to your store of livening things. Why should he not? In my angry moments I try to belittle him. I call him an ordinary fellow, a conventional-minded rich man who spills money like an overfull wine bottle. But in my saner times I know he is an at tractive, intelligent, gentlemanly chai who admires and respects you and is in a position to offer entertainment. It is your very ability to keep such friendships without turning them into messy love affairs that makes me proud of you. I, too, then, am willing to share my mate reasonably with the world.

London, Jan. 18 (By Mail.) True spy yarns which make works of fic tion insignificant are gradually being unfolded by the British secret serv ice. One of these shows how Great Britain put over a huge hoax on Ger man spies and their government. At the outbreak of war the English channel was unprotected by mines and submarine barrages. Neither was it possible to take the necessary pre cautions in time and the admiralty feared that if once the enemy was aware of this lack of defense they would seek to make immediate use( of their U-boats. So a keen-eyed admiralty official de-4 tailed a plan, showing how effective- ly the channel could be mined. Th plan was given to a pretended British traitor, who took it to a German agent, known to the government. With much secrecy the "traitor" told the German that the admiralty had succeeded in mining the channel. The agent asked for proof and the "traitor" let him have a glimpse ot the detailed plan. Finally the Ger man offered $3,500 for the plan. The offer was accepted. Everv facility was then secretly given the German agent to get the plan to Berlin where the government was so impressed with the "effective system" that it didn't attempt 'for a long time to invade the channel. By that time the British admiralty had perfeced its defense. t 'azy, if Tin would certainlv kill himself. 4tv1 in TnnVo mattprs worse.

You are old enough to know better." And Bobby Skunk added, "Giant Bear! you made a fool of yourself to be scared of that lad yand little girl. Why they could not hurt you." And Giant Bear was so furious at such words; and he got wild with rage; and he swung his head back and forth and knocked that iron kettle against a tree and at last he got it off his head. Then he started for home, and the Little People all shouted after him that they were only fooling, and begged him not to mind their teasing. For, they loved Giant Bear, even if they had. teased him, and they did not want to hurt his feelings. Tomorrow The Little People Find a Bee Tree.

PLANES TO CARRY FOOD IN FRANCE. Paris, Jan. 12. (By Mail.) The French government has decided to in stall an airplane service to feed in habitants of the redeemed districts of i northern France until railways de stroyed by the Germans in their re treat can be restored. With 200 airplanes at least 200,000, people of the stricken provinces can be fed daily, it is believed this num ber of planes could carry 100,000 pounds of flour, 10,000 pohhds of sugar, 10,000 pounds of butter, 30,000 pounds of vegetables and 10,000 pounds of condensed food. While this will be the most gigantic scale on which airplanes have been used -for feeding a country, yet the system is not entirely new. During the war it was successfully used by the British in carrying food to their troop's in Mesopotamia, Pales tine and Macedonia. vIn November, 1917, during the French offensive nsrainst the Chemin des Dames, it was used bv the Germans. A detachment of their troops, completely encircled, was kept supplied with food by air planes tbat dropped baskets contain ing bread, kraut, canned meat and other supplies. Still later, during the Italian offen sive on the Piave, Lord Cavan, in charge of the third army, fearing that after his detachments got across the river, the bridges might be blown up onfl tho troons cut off from supplies, arranged to feed them by airplanes. In this case it was planned to drop the packages of food, by means of small parachutes let loose from the airplanes. Although every, preparation was made to this end, the English and Italians were fortunately able to keep the bridges across the Piave and the lines of communication open. For the airplanes that will be nec essary for the lie' service for feed ing the north of France, the French government will first of all make use of its own bombing machines. After this it expects to be able to utilize not less than, 100 planes turned oyer by Germany under the terms of , the armistice. In addition, France hopes that both England and the United States will place at . her disposal a number of their bombing machines now lying idle in France. Vital as the new service will be for feeding the north of France, it also will help solve the problem of the oHm.i, transformation of the military j aviation service for peace , ttoes. jLjjjiJsUjsMiijiauj isiifcsiiiiin is sf i sniurr 1 Feel Weak, ' jS l ' ii mr 9 SSA1 W O every throb? to Do you drag yourself around ablehalf sick?
