If You Want To Know All The News -Subscribe For Frontier $2.00 Per Year I. f By ELLA SAUNDERS «g), 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) “Yes, there’s been some changes in Freeport, inarm, since you went away. Quite a few of us old folks gone, I guess. My cottage? Why* yes, there has been some changes, too. Them pic tures? Now, I’m glad you noticed them. You remember Ellen? “Why, it's queer about Ellen. You know, when she took that craze to go to the city and be a painter, nobody thought very much about it. But, you see, Will Calder had jilted her—so they said, and I guess it's true—after her fulher only left her live hundred dol lars Instead of the thousands we all thought old Mr. Nash was worth. “Well, she must of been gone nine or ten years, I guess, and here she comes back—bought the old house, now—and she 'pears to be a famous painter, though none of us knew it. Making her fifteen thousand a year, they say. Yes, Freeport’s certainly proud of her daughter. “Oh, them pictures? Why, she paint ed them for me. Charge? Nothing. Pretty, ain’t they? And she’s painted for a lot of the folks, but as for her old flame, Will Calder—why, say, she’s stacked his house up with the paint ings she’s done for him. Pretty scenes! I don’t wonder she’s succeed ed." I was looking In wonder at the pic tures, for, of all the daubs I had ever seen, these were the limit. Broad, flaring bands of color, conventional sweet things, girls’ faces and country, scenes—Just what would appeal to the unsophisticated. If these were samples of Ellen Nash’s work, then Ellen Nash’s story that she was a famous painter was a lie, transparent to the person with the smallest knowledge of art. t walked up the hlU to Will Calder’s place. Will was at work, but his wife remembered me and showed me over' the house with pride. The living room! was full of Ellen’s paintings. j “Ain’t they pretty?" said Mrs. Cal-, der. “I do think it was sweet of het doing all these for us—and not a cent,! mind you—Jest because she and Wifl used to be friends.” She giggled, and It was clear that she meant that they had been some thing more than friends. But If Mrs. Thompson’s paintings had been bad, these were positively vile—the vilest daubs that I had ever seen. Perhaps the cheapest of cheap department stores might have ven tured to offer them at a knock-down price of a dollar ninety-eight, but I doubted that. Can’t you see the things? The livid blues and browns, the splotches of paint, the red lips and the cream-col ored cheeks of the girls? The cattle browsing pastorally In the greenest of green grass? It hurt me, for I r» membered Ellen, and I was *n my way to see her. I stopped at the old place. It wop Ellen herself who opened the door to me. She was so pleaded to see me, ana r w«s as pleased to see her. She had grown refined, splrltuelle. I marveled more and more that such a girl could have painted those awful things. I marveled more—I gasped when I saw the pictures on Ellen’s walls. I recognized two of these as the work of the young woman painter, Miriam Keith, who had been the rage of the season. It was evident that Ellen ap preciated good pictures. Then how, In heaven’s name? . . . It was Ellen who opened the sub ject, after I had told her that I had called on Mrs. Thompson and Will. “I suppose you are wfondering about the paintings?" she asked, slowly. "Well—yes,” I ventured. “I," said Ellen, “am Miriam Keith.” I sat gasping at her like a strand^ fish. * “You see, when I went to New York I chose to take another name. I want ed nothing to remind me of this hate ful place. I was an unsophisticated girl. I—I succeeded at last. Then, when I was rich, I felt the longing for a country place, and I bought the old house. Here I shall remain Ellen Nash. In New York I nm Miriam Keith. Now—do you understand?’’ She said no more, but suddenly I did understand. I saw the scorn and the revenge of the artist upon the people who had gossiped about her, lied about her. These pictures were on their own level, and she had taken a clever and such a subtle revenge upon them! And upon Will Calder, most of all, filling up his house with those trashy daubs. I wondered whether there hall been anything In that story about them? Certainly the man could he nothing to her now. In a way I thought it was a revenge upon Ellen’s own youth. Winds Watch by Walking. A Californian possesses the only watch in the world that winds Itself. He bought It years ago In the East, and It was so old then that he could not ascertain when It was made. It was represented as a square French timepiece, and It Is so arranged that a lever oscillates with every footstep the owner takes, thus beeping the spring tightened. It Is contended that It Is the only watch known that winds Itself by tne Jar occasioned In walk ing. It k«$P9 accurate time despite Its peculiarities of Cohstrucllon, and it has survived pevgfal good cases. At present it is encased In gold. A key Is provided for emergencies, so that If the owner should be 111 or be obliged to refrain from walking for several days, the^timeplece can be wound. Another Use for X-Ray. The French investigators, who are among the most ingenious, have dis covered that the X-ray furnishes a very ready means to detect stony Im purities in coal. Now, carbon Is very transparent to the Roentgen rays, while slllcia Is opaque to them. Con sequently the silicates, which form slag when coal Is burned, can be seen like a skeleton when the shadow of the coal is projected upon a florescent screen. It Is reported that this meth od is much in vogue in France.— Washington Star. His Opinion. “I was reading in the paper last night,” remarked CJnbe Olgger.v, “t! at over there in Rooshy you cun heg a divorce as easy as buying a sack of peanuts, and then get married in live minutes, if you want to.” ‘‘Well, I’ll tell you," replied Oap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. “Judging from the pictures I’ve seed of them there Rooshian ladies, if I got a di vorce from one of ’em I shore wouldn’t want to marry another’n for sev'rnl days,”—Kansas City Star. Had Assistance. In the recent drive to raise money for the Radcllffe endowment fund an alumna of that college employed two small boys to sell soap. “Why are you selling the soap?” Inquired a lady at a house on Johnnie’s beat. “To raise $3,000,000 for Radcllffe,” was the prompt reply. “Three mollion dollars!” the lady exclaimed, amused at the youngster’s seriousness. “And are you going to raise it all by yourself?” “No, ma’am,” said Johnnie, "there's another little boy helping me.” Yes, Quite Fair! According to the Ne.v York Morning Telegraph, Mr. Jolm Barrymore, stroll ing aimlessly through the Plaza reo- nt ly, was encountered by an old friend. "Why, Jack,!” exclaimed the old friend. "It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen you. IIow are you, anyway?” Mr. Barrymore announced that he was perfectly splendid, or something to the same effect. “But look here! Aren’t you opening In ‘Hamlet’ tonight? What about it?” "Well,” he remarked in a noncommittal tone, “it’s a good part.” Rotary Plow for Snow.
