She reck *cssly goes io a Sen Year’s party given by the mysterious Nan Adams. There she attracts J. B. Hardiman. owner of the house, enormously wealthy and ■ a rare -cnnoisscur of youth. In the morning Barbara awakens s o find Nan Adams gone in a huff, tnd the servants instructed to con sider’ Barbara their mistress. She levels in the new luxury for c while undisturbed and then, frightened, calls on Hardiman to have a showdown, lie takes her to r cabaret where she has too much 10 drinlc, thence hone where he de xlares his passion for her —but she him. Now go on with the stofy. Muddy passions, gathered trough tho weeks, loosed them iclvcs in a torrent of jumblod ihrases as he tumbled to his knees aid threw his arms about her. Sho »«* rigid in his embrace, faint, 'let fingers sought the edge of the nsntel for support. Sho heard his te.ivy voice saying childish things: ‘1 lovo you! I want you! I’ve lot you!" Her own, cracked with panic: ‘‘Please, J. B„ please! I—l’ve tad too much to drink. Not now, • B. Walt till my head’s cleared— £l I’m myself.” Ho was so grotesqre, there on tie pudgy knees. He dragged him «!f erect. His bands pawed her amgrily. “Please, J. 8., please!” Pa patted her shoulder. “There, little girl, don’t cry.” She closed her eyes and he went. l<-ons later she heard slamming of tr.nway doors. Tho last crash echoed In her lead. It shared space therein with ’ thought which hammered against ’.at ear-drums, as if her fear were , bell-clapper and her skull the ell. “He’U come back!” In those seconds, clutching with 11 ten fingers the ledge of the man elpiece, she estimated at its full ae cost of surrender. But silence continued, spread ik» a balm over crawling nerves. “Not now, J. 8., wait till my tad’s cleared—till I’m myself." he had stolen a victory in crisis, too warmth of her reviving hope |M the spoils. Texts Outside the half-opened door of m bath Hannah waited. She was tllged to bend from her sentinel >to as two shoes c&me hurtling trough and skyrocketed to the ther end of the room. “Hussy!” The word snapped om between tightly compressed ps. Bible texts Imaged them t’.ves in the housekeeper’s mind, his fiery, untamable, trace-kicking irl had brought nothing but worry Id woe to her since her spectacu r arrival. “Am I my sister’s keeper?” tought Hannah, and her grim re (r was audible: “I certainly am.” Barbara’s torn gown flew rough the aperture. Hannah latched It from midair. She sur >yed it with a shocked wrinkling. I brow. It was ripped, dirty, and • one portion of the shimmering teen, where Barbara had rubbed •r blood-stained knuckles, was a lot of brown. Hannah was sol bnly convinced that the stain be- Aened murder. “That girl would do anything,” ie muttered. "She’s positively «!iminal!” Just now the girl was doing Ithing criminal. If, Indeed, clean ness is next to godliness. Barbara, •lashing like a spaniel In the •om beyond the door, was rapidly iproaching the perfection of a dnt It was good to He in warm ater, to relax, to push fingers trough soapy clouds. Bub Hannah, attendant In her me to a, representative assort nnt of the schibbed but sinful I fb, was not convinced then or jer that soap and salvation had ivthing in common. Triumphantly, along a path sewn with biblical wreckage, innah had home to a destination self-jnstiffcatlon. She had ugly iders to carry out. In the morn g, when she had reported to Har. ; man, J. B. had Instructed her to Ike whatever steps she thonght Icessary to prevent Barbara from kvlng the house. . There was only one way to do M. With an ordinary girl a warn-, J K, mild surveillance, would have! l *en adequate. But this was no I S^one^wsns^de^jX*| *& ifai devices. Hannah had com* tT’AA conclusion that the most effectinf way of carrying out Hardimac’s in structions was tp dispose ia some manner of Barbara's clothing. Tlic decision had brought with it a twinge of conscience. Now. behold, she was absolved In advance. Sho had found justification. A good Bible education is a grand thing. Strengthened by faith, Hannah went about her business with zeal, and just a bit of necessary stealth. Sho tqok the wardrobe cld«»' first, working prodtgfadsiy silently. Clothes came from the perches by armfuls. She dumpou them on the bed. Finally the closet was bare. On the top of a rectangle of captured rainbow on the counter pane lay a doxeu pairs of boots. She rolled tho whole mass to gether in the counterpane, swung the bundle over one rcctanguiai shoulder and made quietly for the door. When she returned a few mo ments later, there was a sound tn Barbara's room. She steeled her self. V.’ hat would the girl do whan the trick was discovered? Burn down the house, likely. Sounds of laughter came from Barbara’s room. Laughter. Han nah couldn’t believe her cars. TO* girl 'was insane. The laughter of the lunatic presently subsided, and her voice came through the do-tr. "Hannah!’ The housekeeper stiffened, bat said nothing. “Hannah," called Barbara. “What have you done with all my things!*’ "They’re not your things," came the answer. “They're Mr. Hardt man’s. They were only loaned t m you.” "Hannah! Give me back the clothes I wore when I came hers. Keep the others, but giv9 as those!" “I can’t do it. I promised Mr. Hardiman that I’d keep you hers, and I’m going to do It.’’ “If you don’t bring me my clothes, Hannah, I’ll stick hot hat pins into you.” “Even if I could I wouldn’t " “I'll catch you and tie you Is your bed and pull your toe-nails out!” “I’ve burned them!” “Oh!” The silence that followed was ominous. In her room Barbara, naked, shivered and tiptoed to tho bed. She took a sheet and wound herself in It. She opened the door and confronted Hannah, who faced her sternly, although prepared to take, flight In an Instant If need be. “No use arguing,” said Hannah. “You don’t get your clothes back until Mr. Hardiman arrives, and that won’t be till morning.” “I'm too tired and sleepy," said Barbara, “to heat a hatpin right now. I’m too tired to argue, even if I wanted to. I’m going to bed now, Hannah. And when I wake up—beware!” Rising, she went to the door, aad cut oft a retort from Hannah bv slamming it, with all the strength she had left, in the housekeepers face. She was cold. There was a kick or two left In the dying Winter. She wound herself In the bedding, and gradually her body warmed. She had no right to sleep. She was a woman of many problems, and acquainted with grief. There was a telephone down-- stairs. Wrapped In her bedsheet, sbe| i could creep downstairs. She could * get to that phone, and call up some' j friend for help. > What friend? J Her mother was dead. She had < no brothers, no sisters. Her father \ was in Saygoulian, wherever that i was, and were he across the street she wouldn’t appeal to him. Whom could she call? Not a soul. 1 Not a soul in the world. Excommunication She judged the hour of her awakening to be midnight. i She did not switch on the lights. For an hour, wrapped in the over shoot, she sat up in bed. To the thousand hypotheses she con structed there was but one solu tion. Having come to a decision, her spirits soared. She worked in the dark on the rumpled linen which she disentan gled from arms and legs. She worked and whistled a little tune. Her fingers wrought with beau tiful precision. For the first time in, her life she knew all the out lines of a thing called a job. ’’There are worse things than being lonely,” she comforted her self. She found the exact center of the sheet and tackled it with sharp teeth. When she could work a finger through the hole she ripped. Then she pulled the sheet over her head and forced her head through the opening. She was clothed. "If I wanted to hide Hannah’s clothes, where would I put them?" She could find no satisfactory answer to her question. There was only one way to proceed. The bend of the stairs was fa miliar. She knew the back of the house —Hannah’s domain would be the best place to begin her 'search. She had only a vague knowledge of the geography dt that part of the house. ' The white ghost tiptoed through a corridor. Her heart clamored when, find- \ lng herself in a room, she heard raucous snoring. She managed to get out without waking the sleeper —probably the cook. The house, which had been eo silent, was now full of tiny, sinis ter noises. Floor planks creaked. She could hear the loud ticking at ’a dock.

Wilkinson’s Funer - al Home PHONE 9 Open Day and Night AMBULANCE SERVICE Poultry Column | BROODIES Rhode Island Red Club Service Crnfton, Mass. | Broodiness in poultry is natural. Breeding will eliminate it to a great j extent but probably never fully, j Breeding for high egg production I automatically gets rid of much be cause the heavy laying hen can’t spend much time on the nest and in the broody pen. It is a fact, however, that some high record hens are ibrood.v at num ber of times in the yVnr. The reason for this is that they get back into production very quickly. On the other hand a lien might lose more time on one broody period if she was a persistent broody, then the other hen on several seperate periods. Some hens get back to laying in a very few days, others loaf weeks. So there are degrees of broodinewi which should be considered. Being a natural trait, broodiness is inherited. Yet it is possible to pre vent many long periods of breanr.ig up by rcimrving the hens from the nest the very first night they remain oil. Tins should be looked after to break them up, and also to save eggs thiy might spoil. Trapnested flocks are easily check ed on broodiness because a B is placed on their record card tho day they arc removed to tile breaking up lien —and an R when returned- Thus we know just how long they loaf. A very satisfactory method of keeping track of on ordinary, untrapped flock its, by means of spiral leg bands. Have a supply of one Color, good quality so they won’t break, for this one purpose. Everytime a hen is re moved from the nest and placed in the breaking up pen slip one of them on. At the end of the season some will have none, others two or three and a few will have more than one leg will hold. Draw some dead line on the number of bands you wHI tolerate and do not breed nny birds having more than that number. Broody liens should never be sub ject to cruel treatment to! break them up. The reason for breaking them up is to have them resume laying Abusive treatment never helps any hen lay more eggs. Use a little com-’ moil sense. A clean pen, plenty of clean food and water, green food, grit and shells must be supplied. Use sand or some sanitary litter so there will be no nesting material In other words the very best of care. Many times the mere change of scene is of much help. Where special breeding is not being done a lively male bird in the peu will keep them on, the move. In very large flocks a .series of pens and a systematic use of them in rotation—No 1 today, 2 next day, 3 next. 4 next, 5 next —Alien return those in No. 1 to pens and use that one. for the 6tli day. ~, Remember, however, in eliminat ing, one characteristic it may be pos sible to breed a hen with some more serious defect. Perhaps some of the liens are far too inferior to repro duce yet do not become broody. One must never forget a balance of quali ties. No one thing makes a good hen, not even high production, unless she has other good points. It is the good all around representative Rhode Is land Red we are interested in. Have you read our bulletin on culling Free for tk' asking. FORD OR ROCKEFELLER. Charity and Children. There are various opinions about Henry Ford’s ideas about what to do With money. lie does not believe in giving it away. His philosophy is to give people work rather than money. He has in this way put thousands on their feet. But there are other thou sands who cannot work. The hand of affliction is laid upon them, and there are multiplied thousands of little chil dren too young to earn their living. Mr. Ford has been helpful to those who are able to help themselves; he is apparently not interested in those who are helpless. His admirers hold that he is a real philanthropist in giv ing profitable employment to thous ands of men and women; others, and they are more numerous than his ad mirers, hold that his policy is not altruistic at all but entirely selfish. They say that in “helping others” he helps himself more. There is argu ment on both sides of this question. Ford without a doubt has put many a man on the road to independence who otherwise would never have been able to get on that road themselves. But there is a much higher motive in the distribution of worldly goods than is to be found in the Ford viewpoint. The Saviour told the rich young ruler to sell his possessions nnd give them to the poor and needy. John D. Rockefeller, who has been abused as much as Ford lias been praised, has given millions to people who can nev er give him one cent in return. The F. C.

What I is called the Ford philanthropy is camouflage. Ford, already file rich est man in the world, is daily adding to his wealth in a fabulous way. Rockefeller's income is adding little if anything to his fortune, for he is g'ving it away to the poor and sick and friendless. Ford is accumulat ing money beyond the dreams of avar ice by his shrewd plan of helping those who are able to help him. Which of the two men is doing most to bless the world? Which of the two is the greater, philanthropist? The average man, we are persuaded, would cast his vote in favor of old man John I). Cannot Keep Child From Sneezing. (By International sews Service) Johnson City, Tenn„ July -23. Puzzled, by one of the strangest cases ever recorded here, nine skilled phy sicians are unable to check the sneez ing’of fifteen-year-old Dorothy Baker, who has sneezed about 25,000 times in the past 28 days. For twenty-eight days t'.ie patient has sneezed on the average of once n minute. An operation for another ailment last Friday was an experiment by physicians that did no good. Ether has been administered iu an effort to break the spell of sneezing. That, too. was without avail ( Physicians agree She is suffering from some mysterious nervous mal ady. Although the illness has been a great tax on her strength nnd has caused an acute throat irritation, she does not show any ot’aer symptoms of serious illness. When everything becomes quiet, Dorothy goes to sleep and the sneez ing stops. The slightest rioise awak ens her and the sneezing starts again. She is under careful observation at a local hospital anh the next step in her treatment has not been decided on by physicians.
