It wat at artistic a per vrmance at I ever had heard, and tven my Puritan training wat not proof sifaimt it. Despite the (treat ot the moment. 1 could not cavil ai lieu Dean for the appreciative chuckling laugh which tame to her lips ti Mr. Cosgrove pued for breath on particularly pictureue imprecation. . . "Oh. Pa Confirovel" he Burgled, "If I could only cuss like that I'd Le-" "Vba--whatl" the big man stam mered, "say I, J clean lorgot there were ladici present. I lure beg your pardon, Mrs, Graham-and-Miss Dean." ' Who Smith Is. ''I need no apology, Mr. Cos grove.'1 ' I made the words espe cially emphatic, because 1 could not turn my head to utter them. I was obeying Dicky's instructions to "step on the gas," and the machine needed every atom of my attention. "Do we turn at that next cornerf" "So, keep on about a quprter of a mile beyond the corner, lou can see Jake Kerne' light when you get a few yards past the corner." "Who i theall gent back there?" rawled Uicky. "ine one who ap- ......I K. ... r....t It ..a?" ine mugest no-rooa sun in an this section," I'a Cosgrove returned emphatically. "His nam! the name he gives up here-is Smith, but I'll bet a cooky there was a ky' or a 'chdt' tacked on before he changed , it, lie came up here about 191.2, bought up nearly a whole mountain, built, him. a great, big bouse, and put' up a lot of other buildings. lie put barbed wire, miles of it, all around his boundaries, and had a regular mystery place up there. Of course, there was a lot 'of talk during the war, bound to be, but either he -was 0. K. or had an awful pull: anyway, he was never investigated, and since the war stopped he's got a lot of the men around here on his pay roll in some capacity or other, pays big wages, and they don't dare say their souls are their own. "Take that little restaurant man back there,' Kronish, as nice and in offensive a little chap as ever lived. But Smith owns his place, and lets him have it at low rent the fellow's a good landlord, and liberal to all his help and, of course, Kronish slides- down the pole whenever Smith rings the fire alarm. But Smith ' don't own me, thank the IfOrd, although he . could make it mast awful unpleasant for us if he keeps tip this pose of thinking we had anything- to do with that young fjjUow, getting hurt. But I'm not going'to cross-that bridge until we dome f it. There's Kerns' light now, Mrs; Grham. Now every body say your prayers that the doc's there and can leave." "Do Stop Fooline!" Bess Dean twisted herself in her seat as I stopped the car in front of the Kerns place, and Mr. Cosgrove leaped q the- ground, running up the path like a boy. ' ' "Is he speaking the truth?" she demanded of Dicky in low, worried tones. "Will that tall man mako trouble for ns, try to connect us with that trooper's injuries?" "I'm not g mind r reader, little one," Dicky rejoined airily, "so I cannot tell you what is passing through the massive, bean of the tall, mysterious stranger at the inn. But this I know, and know full well, that I do not like that particular Dr, Fell one little bit, and I wouldn't mind a chance of slapping his wrist gently and with discretion, of course, but still slapping it. "You know," Dicky went on, "ol$ Dad Cosgrove is a pretty wise gink, If he's sized this Smith lad up as a trouble-maker he's probably right. But even ? you are put in jail to night, sweet one, do not weep. I shall bribe the jailer tq give me the next cell, and provide me with un limited quantities of chocolate al monds your favorite confection, you know and a zither. The al monds I will slip through the bars to you, and the bars I will play 0!) the zither, tra-la-la." That Dicky was up to some mis chief I knew by this farrago of non sense and a certain inflection in his voice which only appears there when his gayety has something a bit malicious m it. Oh, do "stop fooling and talk sense a minuter Bess uean jairiy snapped the words at him, and I made the mental comment that the man who married her might find an able vixen concealed behind her ap parently cool insouciant exterior. "What particular brand would you like?" Dicky inquired with ex aggerated deference. "Analytical, experimental, subjective, metaphysi cal just indicate the tap you wish.". "I only wish the answer to this question." her voice had a vicious edge. "This physician, of course, has a machine here. I can see it Over there. Why cannot Pa Cos grove go back with him? Then we could go back to the house where we belong. This fishing trip is up to the Cosgroves, anyway 1" Parents' Problems How can" children be helped to be fentie when provoked? -This is a lesson that ' often long iu the learning. Not all grown-ups have mastered it perfectly. Teach the children the proverb. "A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger." And teach them to think twice before speaking; the time-honored custom of "counting ten" when annoyed is very helpful. - tr " '.1 T l. Aau&as Vuy iu liuuui .
