For the past year and a half I have seen a young lady on the car and have as yet not spoken to her. She always seems to get the fame car that I do, both morning and eve ning. But the only thing she does is to look at me constantly while rid ing and while I get off at my station. Some time ago she entered the car with a girl friend of hers and pointed me out to her. One evening I saw her on the avenue with another young man, hut when she saw me she let go of this man’s arm and looked at me. Bo you think that these incidents are encouragements for me tff speak to her? F. J. No, F. J„ the incidents you men tion should not encourage you to speak to this j’oung woman. She may not realize that she stares at you. A Mother: lam Indeed sorry for a mother who needs work and cannot find it.. Try the Y. W. C. A. employ ment bureau, also the city employ ment bureau.

Katie made a magnificent gesture with her extended arms as she told me to go ahead if I wanted to be killed because of my employment of the mysterous Chinese. I am sure it was meant to overawe the unoffend ing man as much as to demonstrate her freedom of responsibility for mv foolishness. But it was ludicrously lost on Lee Chow, for paying no more attention to her than lie would havo done to the buzzing of a fly about bis ears, he stalked past her a few paces and stood motionless, evidently wait ing for my orders. “Don't be foolish, Katie, I whls uored hastily. “1 know who the man Is, and it is all right for him to he here. He will save you a lot of work, too, for he is going to build the fire for us, and do a lot of other work." Katie tossed her head incredulous ly "Eef you know who tills ipan is, den you know something you not tell ing your poor Katie,” she said shrewdly. "You poor smart lady. I tlnk, to swallow dot stuff about ; laundry-man's cousin. But I no care. Let heem vork eef you vant to. 1 be fine lady today. Not so?” "Exactly so, Katie,” I returned in as mollifying a tone as I could, for I was relieved to have her ludicrous, melodramatic fears allayed. But I realized that her guess as my knowledge of Lee Chow’s iden tity was apt to prove more embar rassing to me than her melodramatic fears. If Katie scents a mystery she is like a woodchuck at a hole until she solves it. From Lee Chow's man ner. I knew that secrecy concerning his connection with Hugh Grantland was vitally necessary* and for a sec ond or two, I wondered If Katie by any means could have guessed the truth. Then the absurdity of such a surmise came to1, me, and with a little shrug I threw off all apprehen sion of trouble and set myself to man aging—and enjoying—the extraodi narv situation that had been thrust upon me. Trying to make my voice and man ner as casual as If Lee Chow had been serving me for years, I walked toward him and indicated the place where I meant to build tho campfire. He inspected it carefully, wetted his finger and held it up to note the di ] rection of the wind, then evidenced his approval with a laconic "Ver' good." ‘‘Build a good fire, first, Lee Chow." I directed, "and let it burn down almost to ashes. Then I will show you where to put the potatoes." Is Lee Chow ‘‘Old Faithful?" He folded his hands as if he were a child reciting his lesson. ‘‘Build a good fire, let It burn down, rake off the ashes, put the potatoes down deep, cover with ashes, build other big fire on top ashes.” Not being an Oriental, there was distinct surprise in my voice as I commented upon his recital. "You have cooked out of doors be fore!" He bent to the stones and began to arrange them In a rude fireplace be fore he answered. "Old boss man, like dinner outdoors ver’ much," he said. With a start I remembered hear ing Hugh Grantland tell of the ap petizing meals which he had eaten out of doors, and which had been cooked by a servant to whom he re ferred as "Old Faithful." It had been inadvertent reference —for Hugh Grantland rarely talked of his life away from the army ser vice—but I fitted it in now as one might a piece in a mosaic. Lee Chow must be “Old Faithful." and an eerie | little feeling came over me as 1 .realized that Hugh Grantland's faith ful servant was doing for me the 1 same service he often had performed for his master. "Wait, Junior-." But where was his master, and in what dire straits? I was sure that some bizarre danger hung over my old friend, or his body servant would not have come to me so mysteriously There was no time now, however, for introspection or retrospection es pecially as Junior began to tug at my skirts and repeat Marlon’s plea of a few minutes earlier. ■'Please, mama, let me take off shoes and stockings and dig for clams.” Lee Chow straighetened quick ly at the words, and looked out over the beach. "Lil* boy not go yet,” he said quietly. "Wait till Lee Chow huilds fire, then Lee Chovr see where holes in water are.” If Katie or any other person em ployed by me had interrupted mo in such fashion. I should havo uttered a rebuke and made my own derision. But there was something so authori tative, so full of knowledge in the quite words that I found myseif acquiescing In them, and saying to my small son: ‘‘Wait, Junior, until Lee Chow can go with you.” Mrs. Paul II. Patton will entertain at a buffet supper at her home Fri day evening for 32 guests. 7 "”7^ S New Satin Frocks Cocoa Rust Bronze High Clan Satins Low Cash Prices F. W.
