REGINA'S DEN
By JANE
(Coujtlght, nil, br
The Blisses were gathered In their
cozy living room for one of their
long, cheerful evenings together.
There were four of them Richard,
Tom, Maud and ncglna. Richard, the
head of the family, looked scarcely
moro thnn a boy himself, but there
wn8 his pretty wife, Maud, sitting at
his side darning very small white
socks. At the other end of tho table
sprawled Richard's young brother
Tom, with a look of uncomfortable
determination, over a book whose
contents he was not absorbing with
nny too great ease. Reglna. Richard's
sister, who taught school and longed
to bo literary, had withdrawn to a
far end of the room where by the
light of two shaded candles she was
trying to write.
Tom grated his teeth. For Just a
moment ho was perilously near say
ing something that gentle little Maud
didn't allow on these pleasant family
evenings. Instead he slammed his
book together r1; enme out with a
loud, "Rats!" thut made Reglna pause
forcibly In her writing and sent her
muse flying. "It Just makes my
blood boll," Tom went on, "to be
uck wit a subject like Latin. Tho
dean sas I can't get my degree If
I don't puss the examination this
time" '
"Say, Sis," ho said presently, np
penling to Reglna, "have you seen
that tutor of mine? He's a corker
captain of, tho crew when he was In
college, played first base on the team.
He's the best set up fellow I ever saw
anywhere."
"I don't see that that has anything
to do with his being a good Latin
tutor," said Reglna. "No. I haven't
seen him. Does he come to the
house?"
"Yes every afternoon. He'll be
coming for the next two weeks, till
that beastly old exam comes off.
He'll get me through If anyone
could."
Reglna went bnck to her writing.
Presently Maud looked over at her.
"Reglna," she said sweetly, "have
you seen Baby's new tooth today?
It's Just as white and nice I meant
to show It to you "
Reglna's patience had been tried
to the limit
' "Well, of oil tho places to try to
write!' she exclaimed. "I thought
you all knew I didn't want to be
talked to. Now this settles lt I'll
JiiBt have to have a den. I've been
thinking or It a long time and now
I'm settled. Ill rig up p place In the
attic where I can be quiet. It's a
perfect shame the way we all herd
togethei Just stick down here as If
we didn't hnve an original Idea In
our heads."
"Why. Reglna." said Maud tear
fully. "I thought you liked being with
us. We've always been so fond of
each other till now." Here there was
a little sob. "Oh. to think I have
driven you to the attic!"
"Don't be silly." said Reglna. "I
can't poke off In my bed-room, so I'm
Just going to rig up a place In the
attic. Why. I almost think 1 can
write pomcthing worth while If I can
get off by myself."
In spite of tearful protests on the
part of Maud and Jests on thj part
of her two brothers Reglna was In
stalled In her sanctum In the attic.
Here, with a desk and a lounge, a
bookcase filled with her favorite
books and the walla covered with hor
favorite prints and photographs Re
glna had a place that was to be all
her own.
One evenlns after Reglna had re
tired to this sanctum with a freshly
filled fountain pen and her brain full
, of Ideas, her voice was heard in the
upstairs hall calling her brother Tom,
In none too gentle accents.
Tom left his books In the living
room below and went two steps at
a time to see what his sister wanted.
He followed her Into the attic and
there by the light or the shaded desk
lamp he saw the reason for bis hasty
summons. Reglna pointed to a group
of cigarette ends, and a box of over
turned matches that lay on the blot
ter at the end of her deBk.
Tom, in spite or bis six feet or
, dauntless manhood, crumpled before
bis sister.
"I'm awfully sorry, sister," he said,
"but to tell you the truth Harry Ti
tus, that tutor of mine, and I have no
other place to go. You know what
it Is down in the living room with
Maud and the baby coming In and
eut. It-waB Just my luck to forget to
clear up the cigarettes after .him.
though."
"I've suspected it for a week," said
Reglna sternly. "I find matches In
the rose Jar and ashes In the pen
tray, and look," she said, drawing
forth a' bundle of her manuscript
covered with Latin words writteii In
a masculine hand. "If that Mr. Titus
did that please see that he doesn't
repeat the offense. Didn't he know
that this was my den?"
Tom promised faithfully never
rgaln to Invade the sanctity of his
sister's den and returned to his books.
Rut the next day when the athletic
tutor refused to give his lesson In
tho hubbub of Maud's little living
room Tom was forced to break bis
promise. As Reglna didn't get home
from school till four and the lesson
wab over at half-past three Tom felt
- that he would have no trouble In
covering his guilt. Accordingly the
lesson was given as usual In Reglna'a
den. Just as they were' about to end
OSBORN
Auocieted Liteftiy I'ltu,)
tho lesson Maud's frantic voice wai
heard on the stairs.
"Thomas, Thomas Miss, come here
at once! Don't let that Mr. Tltue
out!" And then as tho two men ran
to the door to see whnt was the trou
ble Maud continued her cries. "Don't
let him out I sny! They've got mens
lea at the college dormitory and he
has como from there and he'll give
It to baby. I Just found It out."
Mr. Titus didn't dony tho fnct that
there was a case of measles at tho
dormitory nnd that he lived there Ho
hadn't drenmed, however, that he was
In any way dangerous. Hut Maud
was stubborn nnd nfter sho had got
Tom out of tho nttlc room turned the
key on tho tutor to make sure thnt
ho didn't escape. Then rhe dispatched
Tom to the health bureau to get
Bomcono to come and fumigate tho
offensive tutor before she would let
him pnss through the halt to tho
front door.
Hefore many minutes had passed
Reglna enme In from cshool, let her
self In the front door and, Impatient
to be at her writing, passed up to
her attic den.
As she pushed hark the door nnd
stepped Into her room Fho almost fell
upon the astonished Mr. Titus. He
had been sprawling on her couch,
rending her favorite poems, resting
his head on her cushions. For a mo
ment they stood looking at each
other.
"You see, I am dangerous," he be
began. "No I don't," said Reglna, feeling,
added resentment at the unusual
looks of the Intruder.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" he
asked pleadingly.
Reglna raised her brows haughtily,
and It war not until this presumpt
uous Mr. Titus had actually urged her
to be seated In her own sanctum and
hnd seated himself nt her side that
he was able to explain to her the
cause of the disturbance. It was He
glna's turn to be apologetic thei..
"It's a shBtne for Tom to drag you
up to this crazy attic." she said; "It's
Just a fad of mine."
After this under the mngnltude of
the tutor's manner Reglna forgot that
she had ever objected to his Intru
sion nnd wondered why Tom bad
never Introduced him to her.
"I have often wanted to meet you,
Miss IlllsB." the tutor told her. "In
fnct It has been something of a hard
ship not bcln- able to know you."
In a few more minutes Reglna was
busy over her tea table, and as the
tutor's eyes met hers as she passed
him his cup of tea, she caught her
self blushing foolishly. It was not till
nfter the light of day 'had begun to
fade, and Reglna had lighted the
shaded lamp on her desk that they
heard footsteps on the stairs below.
"I think they have come to let you
out, now," she said as she started to
the door.
Rut the tutor slipped behind her
and held it closed.
"Don't open It till you promise one
thing," he begged as he put his hand
over hers on the door knob, "I want
to come here and see you often.
Right here awny from everybody but
you You will let me, won't you?"
Reglna whispered "yes," and then
laughed as she opened the door.
There was Tom, breathless and ex
cited. "They don't have to fumigate
you at all," bo gasped. "The man at
the board of health said you couldn't
carry it Oh, hello, sister. I guess
you know Mr. Titus by now."
It was about a month later. Tom
had taken his finals In Latin and bad
passed with credit to himself and bis
tutor. Now he bad come up to see
ma sister in ner aen. Tnere was a
large Jar of roseB on the desk, a half
a dozen new books, a few prints on
the wall that a more suspicious eye
than Tom's would have recognized as
new.
Suddenly ho caught sight of some
papers on the desk.
"That looks like Titus' writing." he
aid. "He roust have scribbled over J
everytning." He looked up to see
Reglna blushing with her eyes cast
down. She quickly folded the papers
In her band.
"Tom, dear." she said coming to
wards him and putting her arms up
around his broad shoulders. "Tom, I
want to ask you to forgive me for be
ing so cross about your bringing your
tutor up here. I've wanted to ask
you to forgive me. I am really glad
you did, bring him. You see he liked
It, and well, you see he came so
often after you showed him the way
that"
Tom looked densely and helplessly
at bis sister, who stood before him
with tears glistening In her eyes.
"That we are going to beengaged,
and I want to thank you." '

CLEANLINESS IN THE DAIRY

Tho cows as well as tho dairy barn

shown that the Banltnry condition of

bacterial content of tho milk as any
other factor. Tho method used in

size, to have sufficient bedding to
keep them clean and comfortable to
keep the hair short In the region or
the udder, groom the cows every day.
to wash them before every milking
with clean, warm water and a brush,
and Just' before milking each cow to
clean the udder again with a clean,
wet towel.
During fly time the tails or the
cows to be milked ore fastened with
cow-tall holders, such as the one
shown In the illustration. The pincers
snap around the cow's tall and the rub
ber band Is passed around the leg on
the chain.
After tho cows are washed, a sma"!
chain is fastened across the stanch
ions under tho cow's necks to prevent
them from lying down; after they are
milked, the chalnB are unfastened and
tho cows are allowed to lie down.
The manure is not removed Im
mediately before milking, and noth
ing is done which will raise a dust,
as dust Is one of the most prolific
sources of milk contamination.

MILK FROM DEVON WAS BEST
Celebrated Chemist, After Examina
tion, Olvea Hla Opinion aa to
Which la Best for Bablea.
' Some yeara ago a celebrated chem
1st, after examining the milk of differ
ent cowa, made the following report
as to which was the best milk to raise
bablea on: The Jersey bad too much
oil In It, the Holstein too much cheese,
and the milk from the JJcvons waa the
best, as It had more sugar In It and
nearer the milk of the baby's mother,
says the Amorlcan Cultivator. Just
then a young mother died leaving a
baby twelve days old, and It ao hap
pened that the father read this report,
ao he rented a fresh Devon milk cow
and fed the babe on the milk of that
cow for more than two years. She
grew up to be a flno, large, healthy
young lady, and at fifteen yeara or age
waa two Inches taller than her father,
and In her class at school with girls
much older than she was.
1 Silo Has Advantage.
The man with the silo Is the man
who has the advantage at this time
of year when the, dry spell strikes.
Milk flow that Is once decreased by
dried up pastures can never be re
stored until the next freshening. Don't
let the milk flow decrease.

MORE MILK FROM HOLSTEIN
Breed Does Not Always Indicate Good
Milkers Selection 8hould Bo
Made From Individual.
The breed does not always Indicate
good milkers. There nro poor cows in
all breeds and the selection should be
mado on the merits of the Individual
cow. However, tho average' Holstein
cow will probably produco more milk
than other breeds, but with a lower fat
content than tho Jersey or Guernsey,
Excellent Type of Holstein.
says a writer In an exchange. Should
you desire to build up a good reputa
tion for tablo milk In your town, It
might be well to have two breeds. I
have known of Instances where half
the herd were Holstelns, to furnish the
quantity, and the other half of the herd
were Guernseys or Jerseys, which
helped to bring up the fat content of
the milk when mixed before bottling
for market. This will Increase the
per cent, of fat In the milk as well at
give It a better body and color.
Mottled butter Is generally due t
Improper working.
Udder troubles are frequently the
result of bad feeding.
More sunshine for the big producers
more fresh air for the whole herd.
Sunlight nnd pleasant surrounding
are great factors In stimulating large

The cow should have a capacity to
produce more milk than she Is called
upon to produce In ordinary dairy
work.
The cow should be fed so that she
will produce a full flow of milk and
maintain practically the same flesh

From twelve to twenty-four houri

to ripen tho cream, according to the
time of the year.

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has. acquired a Ju
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out In the Sunflower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
"For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an Indis
pensable necessity In my family's
everyday life.
"It has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do pot crave rich and
unwholesome food. .
"Grape-Nuts keeps ns all in perfect
physical condition as a preventive of
disease It Is beyond value. I have been
particularly Impressed by the benefi
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by lsdies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruntlons. efn. it
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
as 10 its nutritive qualities, my ex
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts Is superior to a pound of
meat for breakfast, which Is an impor
tant consideration for anyone. It sat
isfies the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue, while its
use Involves none of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow
a meat breakfast." Name given by
