(J), l'JJD. by Mci.Iuib Newapapar Byntlimi 1 The two eottHifes wore exactly nlike. Much linil a front porch with a vine covered trellis, nnd each hnil n Imj window on the side, one facing wi, the other went. They stood side ly side. Tho neighbor called them the Twin Collages. They wore connected by a narrow phiiro extending from the weal side of one to the oust side of the other. Hut the lennnts of these cottnites were not neighborly. Mrs. Goodwin of the cast bnv window nnd Mr. Good will of the west buy window mer spoke to each other. The brothers had built those houses, bud bonn their tnnrrled life together, but their wives had quiitToled years ago. anil now Mr. Avery Goodwin and Mrs. Ktnery Good win lived eneh alone, nursing the old grievance. As Tale would have It. Miss Natha lie Goodwin nunc to spend a summer vacation with her uncle. "Isn't It funny. L'nele Avery?" she asked. "Mrs. Goodwin's nephew is spending his vacation with her." "It doesn't touch my sense of humor," her uncle answered! coldly. "We mot on the sidewalk In front," Nathalie went on, "and we really bad to speak, though of course we're not cousins." "Certainly not." with emphasis. "Ills name is Iiotiahl Prior, nnd. he's lloorwalker for Stebbln's & Porter, hut be wants to be an artist. lie 1ms n vacation over the dull season, and he's painting for till he's worth." "Humph t I should think he gave you his whole history." "Perhaps 1 was to blame." Nathalie confessed, with a slight blush. VI was so Interested that I asked blni one or two questions." "Well, you bnve a complete auto biography now. You won't need to ask any more." Nathalie was a little nfrabl of her stern uncle. "L'nele," she asked one morning, "who owns that connecting passage?" "It belongs to both of lis." "What Is there In It?" "Rats' nests and spiders, probably. I never go In." "Does Mrs. Goodwin go In?" "I don't know where she goes. Prob nbly not." "If there are spiders," Nathalie pur sued, twisting a duster. "I ought to go Hi" An hour later she slipped the rusty bolt and. dustpan In bnnd, .entered the passage, shuddering a little In antici pation of the spiders. "My word !" she cried. "Donald Prior has taken this for a studio." Several mounted canvnses were leaned ngnlnsl the walls, nud one pic ture, not quite llnlsbed. stood upon an easel. "Why!" she breathed, "it's me!" A bolt slid, the east door opened. and the doorwav f ruined the ntblejlc figure nnd bronz.ed face of Donald Prior. "Hello:" he exclaimed. Nathalie blushed and held out the extenuating dustpan. "I came here'to look for spiders," she faltered "Pray don't apologize. We have equal rights here, you see." glancing around at the confusion of paint tubes and brushes; "my aunt doesn't like a Utter." ' "Doesn't she? I wish my uncle didn't." He laughed. "So I paint here." "Hut ydti have painted me." "I have dared to attempt that," he acknowledged. "You see. I bad every thing I needed except a model." "I guess you have succeeded, only you have tlattered me." "Don't you thin': you tuny be sitting there again nnd wenrlns the mnuve gown?" "Oh, no. My uncle wouldn't ap prove. It would be quite wrong now I know." Nathalie put on her little air of dte nlty. "I must go back to my uncle. He may need me." "Isn't ho well?" "No. 1 teel anx'.His about him." "Ileally? What seems to be the mat ter?" "General debility. He has no appe tite. I've had a course In domestic science, but he ca"'s the things I make 'knick-knacks.' He Is pining for some old-fashioned cooking pancakes and thing.." "Is that so? Now. my mint can cook for the Immortal gods." Nathalie glanced nt Uie lithe, strong tlgure and did not eontmdlct him. "She dotes on the old-fashioned cooking. I think we'll In having nan enkes for breakfast." "Oh !" said Nathalie wistfully. "I'll tell you what I'll do. Do you think vo might venture? Just leave that door unbolted, and when your uncles at breakfast I'll appear to blin with hot pancakes in a covered dish. Ho wouldn't tloor me?" "Oh. no; be Isn't strong enough for that, ami perhaps If you took the cover off quick, bo wouldn't want to." "We'll try It then." Will It seem too much uko a fairy story If I write that Mr. Goodwin's craving for old-fashioned pancakes was stronger than the sullen pride that nursed an ancient grudge, that In two weeks' time Mrs. Kmery Goodwin was cooking for four, thnt Mr. Good win became convinced of Donald's mi ent. so that the young man has given up tlonrwalking and Is giving bis whole attention to art. and that Na - thnlle has a permanent position uv ooiy-l for the artlstT THE QUESTION By MARY POWER. (, 1929, by McClur Nowsi'iiP'r indicate.) It was the Impatient Jingle of bells without (hut cau"'d Aubrey to hasten with the final touches to her toilette. A moment Inter she emerged from the house and swung her lithe young body Into the sleigh beside her brother. "We'll have to hurry, Ken." she ad vised, tucking the robe nbout her. "I've exactly ten minutes." "Well, If you don't take the cake," he sputtered; "here I've been waiting " "Please. Kenneth, don't scold," wheedled Aubrey. "Gracious!" In sur- den alarm. "I've forgotten my notes haven't, cither," evidently re lieved. "H'm!" Kenneth cast a scornful glnnee at the trig figure beside him. "What's the subject this afternoon, so cialism, woman suffrage, or or bet ter babies?" he grinned. Aubrey flushed. "The eternal ques tion 'Should Woman Propose Choose the Mate Kalher " Kenneth gave a prolonged whistle. "Going to take advantage of leap year, eiw no chuckled, "lim it af firmative?" Aubrey shook her bend. "No real lady proposes," acidly. "Huh, nine-tenths of 'em do," vouch safed Kenneth. "That is, subtly." Aubrey flashed him a look of wither ing scorn. "One couldn't expect you n mere child to understand." she said frigidly. The "mere child" grinned. "I promised to call at Kllcn Colby's," said Aubrey: "mind you're back In time." A moment Inter they stopped at the hendqunrtt t of the Girls' club. En tering. Aubrey swept down the nlsle and daintily took her place on the platform. The debate was a success. Aubrey's opponent, a fnir-halred. languid girl of twenty, expounded her views on the "eternal question" In wci! couched lan guage. Aubrey, on the other hand, took the bouse by storm wheft. In con cluding her remarks, she said, with flushed cheek and sparkling eye: "No girl with an ounce of dignity In her makeup could, with honor, ask a man to marry her." And then, thrill Ingly : "Our grandmothers couldn't, our dear mothers wouldn't. I you we oh!" spiritedly. "It shouldn't be done I" Kenneth, ensconced in a rear seat, was Interested In spite of himself. Fie could not resist one last sarcastic fling, however as he dropped Aubrey al El len Colby's door. "I say. Aubrey," be cautioned, "hadn't you better give Ellen n bit of advice? She and Floyd have been courting for ages. They say he bnsn't ever mentioned marriage. If you don't watch out she'll upset your pet tradi tion by proposing herself. Time's ripe" he added maliciously. "Seeing she's Roger's sister, you should " be shot n meaning glance nt her nnd drove away. Ascending the stairs to the Colby flat Aubrey frowned, cogitating on Kenneth's Insinuations. "Dear." Ellen was saying, her voice all queer and trembly-llke. "If Roger and Aubrey get married this year. I'll go to you ot Christtnnstble. I should like to be a Christinas bride." Aubrey waited no longer, but stole ' quietly nway. a queer little ache In her j throat. It wns twingiu wnen sue i stumbled over her own threshold. The fragrant odor of a clgnr told her Roger was there ahead of her. smoking in the dark. Roger often waited for her like i that. Throwing her wraps aside, she tiptoed to the ball portieres and pulled them together." "Roger." she called, softly, nnd as he came eagerly forward. "I want to ask you something no, plense stay there on the other side of the portiere-.. For one breath-taking Instant she paused, then: "Roger, do you love me heaps?" tremulously. "Why. Aubrey, of course heaps and heaps and" Roger's hands, fumbling there on the other side of the portieres, suddenly thrust tbemelves through. "Roger, has It ever occurred to you that Ellen and Floyd might be wilt ing for us to to couldn't we at Easter, perhnp " breathlessly, blush ing furiously there in tho darkness In spite of herself. "Aubrey." he said sternly, "nro you Joking?" "Why, no," Aubrey laughed a bit shnklly. "I'm merely tnklng advantage of the season." glibly. And then, eter nal feminine all over, she gave a little dry sob and hid her burning face against bis shoulder. From there, shy ly : "Maybe Ellen and Floyd could plan on Christmas if we Mercy!" as a low chuckle from beyond the portieres smote the air. "Yes It's Ken." said Roger, dryly. "He was dozing when you came In. Rut catch him to miss anything," he growled. Aubrey darted forward and switched on the lights. A youth of nineteen, or thereabouts, a "mere chHd." whose long, lanky frame draped tho top of a luxurious leather davenport, nrose, blinked a bit. then stretched himself lazily. "Evenln'. folks," he drawled with a mischievous quirk at the corners of his ! mouth. "Gee, I had the funniest ! dream." he yawned. "I dreamed some ! sweet, young thing was proposing to lue taking advantage, as It were oh, all right. Roger." at that worthy's threatening gesture. "Auyway, greet ings of the season or er cougraru 1 lotions, rather," nnd, grinning like a Cheshire cut, Kecueth sauntered from the room, TOWN OF PECULIAR HISTORY Settlement In Arkansas Had Its Or.

HURT BY LACK OF EXERCISE American People, Through Excessive Use of Automobiles, Rapidly Be coming Nation of Dyspeptics. ! Excessive automobile rldlnc Is said ! to be the causp of many ailments of the digestive, the respiratory and the circulation organs. A student asked one of his professors which branch of the medical profession he regard ed as the most remunerative. "If I were again a young man, just starting out," the professor replied, "I would choose the digestive tract. Amei leans are playing havoc with that part of their anatomy. With- automo bile riding rapidly replacing the good old habit of walking, people don't get enough xerrls to digest properly. Result: Rotter business for the physi cians. "Next to the alimentary troubles the hoirt nnd lnntrs nro involved - the inns- neart nnu units are moioii, uu urns- clos of these organs nre weakened both by lack of exorcise and by the Ill-nourished condition of the blood due to hnsly eating. You see It nil comes back to the question of eating the digestive tract. So that, It seems to me, should prove to be the branch of the profession to which I would give first choice." ALBERT A.
