FRIENDS
i! By MARGARET K. SULLIVAN.

A sweet, clear voire runir nut nlinve
the rattle of dishes, and reached Hie
ears of the tired, dusty driver of the
big touring enr on the hot road. With
n quick, voluntary motion, nd n glance
in the direction of the cottage from
which the sound came, the driver
slowed down the car almost to a halt,
then the- finning centred and another
Round came to his hearing. It was
that Of n child crying and the sweet
song was changed to a mother's coax
ing, comforting monotone, while the
rnttlo of dishes had stopped. What
ever the driver had In mind when he
slowed down the car coidd not he con
ceived, for with an Impatient move
ment Jjo released the brakes and sent
"the machine forward at high speed.
A few minutes later a pretty young
girl In her early twenties appeared on
the porch carrying In her arms a little
child of about two years.
"Sow, Janle, a big girl like you
should not be crying. Why can't you
be good like llttlo brother?"
"Janlo dood dlrl, Muddle," protested
the- little one, and then catching sight
of the gloaming car fast disappearing
in the distance, she dimpled and gur
gled, stretching her llttlo dimpled arms
toward It.
Suddenly she heard 4 soft purring
sound In tho distance. Yen, It was the
motor returning. Half curiously she
watched It, unconsciously smoothing
the pretty clnshum dress she wore.
until suddenly she realized that It was
coming no nearer. "What can be the
trouble?" sho wondered. For trouble
it surely must be, for there was no
otner House within walking distance
of the car hut this one. Sho suw a
figure In the distance descend from
tho car and begin wnlklng slowly to
wards tho house, without even a back
ward glance toward the car.
"Water or gasoline?" was her
thought.
Slowly she went forward and stood
framed in tho doorway. The least she
expected was a surprised glance from
the man she stood facing, hut to her
surprise sho was addressed in a tone
of studied politeness, and met n look
as stony and unrecognlzlng as the one
nhe felt on her own face.
"Please may I have a bucket of wa
ter for my engine?" he Inquired.
"Certainly, sir; I'll get It for you,"
she returned In the snmo polite, cnsunl
tone as his own.
"Hut er I. May I get It for you?"
he asked. 't'H liable to bo heavy."
"Oh, no, thank you. I am perfectly
able to carry It."
"Walt Just a moment," she said, in
a kinder tone. "I'll get you a drink."
As sho returned with the water, her
face Hushed from the exertion of
putrplng, she noticed that the man
was stnrlni: moodily at the cround.
then with a quick motion he stared at
ner, and rrom her to the children with
a queer expression on Ids face.
Flinging out his hand Impulsively.
he suld: "Maud, lei us at leart be
iriends, ir only for the sake of these
children here."
With a surprised look at him, she
Ignored his hand, and stood as If
stunned
"Muddle, muddle," broke In little
Janle, "Janlo wanna wide."
At tho sound of tho llttlo one's voice
tho light broke on tho astonished girl.
"Oh, Fred, Fred," she cried, and
then dropping into a chair sho burled
her face In her hands and her shoul-
oers shook convulsively. With one
leap over the low railing the young
jnun reached her side.
"Mauillo, It's my fault, dear, that
you camo to this. Let us forget It. I'll
always, be your friend. Don't dear,
don't feel so bad. 1 I "
"Oh," camo from the girl, "It's co
f-f-funny "
It was now tho man's turn to ha
astonished, for the face turned up to
nun wnu wet with tears of laughter!
"Well, what tho douco Is up? I 1
What Is It, Maud?" he finished des
perntelf. "Oil, Fred, I see It all now. Janle,
como hove, dear. Whore- in mother?"
sho asked.
"Mamma?" questioned tho child,
plainly. "Mamma? She gone way
off."
A light of understanding broke over
tho young man's face, and under his
breath ho murmured "Maudle," then
"Muddle and found so llttlo differ
ence that ho Joined In tho laughtor
with a light heart.
But Mnudlo's face had again cloud
cd, and a touo of restraint crept Into
her volco as sho said: "Hut, Fred,
that don't explain your not writing me
for so long. Tell me, please, why It
was?"
With hlfj two arms about her, Fred
explained his long absence, due to
sickness, then his return home, her
disappearance, his long hunt for her,
and his final conclusion of her faith
lessness, which was strengthened by
tho Bight of her with tho llttlo ones.
"But, MauiL" ho continued, "when
I heard your rdco today, singing, I
Just had to seo you, if only to make
you see that no matter what had hap
pened, I was still an did, true friend;
but now, Maudle, now-"
Somo hours later Janle's mother and
father found a strange car at their
door and their two children flaying
to their hearts' content In the dirt,
while from tho house camo the Boond
of preparations for the evening meal,
and abovo tho rattlo of tho dishes
clear, sweet, happy voice and a low,
vibrant. Joyous voice singing contentedly.
MANY KINDS, AND ALL GOOD
That Would Seem to Be the Verdict
of Humanity on the Great
Question of Pies.
They were talking about pies and
discussing which was the best, find,
what we gathered from the cheorful
controversy, all were the best.
Tho person who stood up for the
good old apple pie was Just as eloquent
In his references to the peach or pump
kin pie. In fact, each person would
hurry through the praise of one kind
of pie In order to champion another,
which convinced us that of all the
varieties of food In this world the plo
Is the blessodest.
Sometimes you will find n man who
doesn't eat pie, but watch him. Tie Is
a remedy for many distempers, We
one time cured a ferocious sick head
ache with a quarter of mince pie, and
that, too, on the advice of a physician
One of the party never heard of a
mulberry pie, and what a barren llf
she must have led. We are through
with the cherry pie era and with what
joy 11 nas lined the world : We come
to the berry era, and first of all there
Is the huckleberry pie, which berry
has rescued from sunshine and soil all
the grace of tho earth. If a man does
not like a huckleberry pie, it Is be
cause the pie or himself hns not been
well made. The black raspberry pie
stands away up on the snowy peaks of
perfection and for picnic purposes It is
unparalleled. When we eat raspberry
pie In the woods we feel that the
Dryads are feeding us from their Illy
white hands.
There are other glorious pies, of
course, but we must have room to say
that the glory of a plo Is In the grace
njid charm of the cook. 'The pastry
depends upon her temper, and tho pas
try is three-fourllis of a pie. If wo
were going to get married again, we
would arrange n pastry-making con
tent, and the damsel that made the
dcbi pasiry we would marry If we

UNABLE TO ANALYZE DRUG
Intoxicating Principles of Powerful
Narcotic, "Cohoba," Remain a
Mystery to Chemists.
When Columbus arrived at the is
land of Haiti ho and his followers
were Interested to observe a curious
practice of tho natives, who were ac
customed on ceremonial occasions to
make use of a narcotic snuff produc
tive of a sort of hypnotic state, with
vision supposed to be supernatural.
The tribal Avlzards, or priests, while
under the lulluencc of the drug, were
accustomed to hold communication
with unseen powers, and their niut-
terlngs were construed as prophecies
and revelations of hidden things.
The snuff was called "coholm." and,
In the form of a Hue powder, was In
haled through a forked wooden tube,
tho forks being Inserted In the nos
trils and . the lower end of the tube
burled In a little heap of the snuff,
which was held on a tray of carved
wood. Sometimes largo snail shells
were used for snuff boxes.
Tho mlmosn-llke tree from which
tho snuff Is obtained Is plentiful along
the banks of the Orinoco and the
Amazon. It grows In Haiti, Porto
Rico and other Islands of the Antilles.
Tho seeds yielded by Its pods are
dried, roasted and ground to powder,
which Is sometimes mixed with lime
from calcined snail shell.
Only recently has this tree been
Identified by Dr. W. 15. SntTonl of the
government plant bureau an the
source of the snuff, the origin of which
hns hitherto been a puzzle. The
chemical properties of the drug aro still
unknown and so Its intoxicating prin
ciple remains a mystery.
Frightful Experience.
utfi...i. - .
vimi was my most tunning expe
rience" mused the ex-pllot. "Ahjxl
could never rorgot it. It was a bright
starlight night, but the lurid Hashes
around us obscured all else as we
sped through the air. The advancing
enemy was hnnl upon us, whllo nil
around wo heard tho wnlrd, savage
music so terribly familiar, and tho
thud as of a thousand falllnc meteors.
We dived, looped, corkscrewed till our
senses wore numbed. I felt a sharp
pain in my right foot, a dull weight
In my side 1 was falling, falling
ana Knew no more till I found myself
lying on the ground badly smashed
somo hours later."
"And that was really your record
aerial engagement?"
"No," ho replied; "It was my first
experiment with tho Jaaz." Pitts

Paying tho War Cost.
Referring to the cost of the war,
Secretary of Wnr Baker told the
flnanco committee of tho senate nnd
houso that tho total outgo in round
numbers would be $30,000,000,000; but
?l),000,000,000 of this was loans to our
nllles. Nearly a third of theSiet cost
hns already been paid "out of money
raised by taxation. Tho other two
thirds was obtained from the five
Liberty loans. If wo pay a billion n
year, besides Interest, we can clear
off tho war cost In about twonty-ono
years.
Big Contribution 'to War.
One of tho most striking contribu
tions of the United States to the wnr
was the onormous quantity of smoke
loss powder high oxploslvos produced,
snys tho Scientific Amorlcan. From
April 1, 1017, to Novombor 11, 1018, wo
produced IWi! million pounds of smoke
less powder, which wnn almost exnetly
equal to tb . ,,r,i ln.nl .iutmt of Franc'

WHERE MOLE BEATS MONKEY
Simian Is Comparatively Helpless
the Water, as Are Many of
the Land Birds.
In
TIave you ever noticed a gull drop
ping on the sen how It spreads Its
wings high go that the feathers shall
not be wotted? If a gull's wing feath
ers get wet It cannot rise until they
dry, says a writer In London Tit-Bits.
Throw n mouse into the water. It
can swim a little, hut ns soon ns Its
fur Is soaked down it goes, nnd
drowns. So, too, In the case of n rab
bit. As soon as Its fur Is wet It Is
done for. ,
A mole can swim like anything, but
a monkey Is very helpless In the wnter.
Almost all land birds drown very rap
idly If unlucky enough to fall Into the
wator. They strike out with their legs,
move round and round In a circle, but
cannot get off the water.
Lions nnd tigers are very good swim
mers, nnd do not share the common
cats' hatred for the .water, nut of all
the cat tribe, the South American
Jaguar Is the finest performer In the
water. It seems often to plunge In for
mere Joy of a swim.
A rabbit, as we have said, drowns
as soon ns Its fur Is soaked through
yet curiously enough Its near relative,
the hare, swims quite well, and will
often cross a river when hunted.
Hears nre good swimmers, even those
thnt usually live far from Inrge sheets
of water, and the common rat Is no
mean performer.
One of the best of nnlmal swimmers
Is the horse. Horses have been known
to swim n river nearly a mile wide
simply to get back to their old stables,
ueer, too, can all swim well. There
nre cases of caribou having swum
across lakes ten miles wide when
escaping from forest tires.
ALCOHOL GROWS ON TREES
Liquid Declared to Be Plentiful In
Blooms Which Flourish in Pro
fusion In India.
Alcohol In these days has attention
rrom governments in diverse wavs
England has had a committee study
ing me possibilities of Increasing the
production of alcohol to be used In
generating power.
The opportunities discussed by the
committee are interesting. Of course,
potatoes, artichokes and cereals came
In for attention. But it seems .there
nre less known sources of alcohol. For
example, there is the llower of the
malum tree, which Hourlxhes In Hy
deiabad and the central nnrt of India
This llower, when sun dried, contains
0 per cent of ltr weight In ferment
able sugar, and apparently Is to be
gathered by the ton. Then there are
the fertile gases of the coke ovens
They are so rich In surprises to the
everyday man that It Is not very start
ling to learn they contain ethylene,
which by synthetic processes some
what developed under the stress of
wnr may be converted into eihyl al
cohol. With the coal beds about to pro
luce alcohol, and the tieps or India
fairly blossoming with It. the man
with a motor car may quiet the fears
aroused hy the scientists figures
which show that we are in slarht of the
end of petroleum and gasoline. There
Is nothing like being ei-xy in one's
mind. The Nation's null''-
