Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” The Ultimatum Dicky Gave Madge. Dicky was the first to speak after the slam of the outside apartment door had signalled the departure of our queer visitors. "Well, this settles it!" he said with a tone of finality in his tone. "We re going to move, pronto." "Why!" I inquired, banally enough, for I knew very well that the mid night visit of our bizarre neighbors had been the last fatal item in his mounting indictment of the place. "Why?" ho exploded angrily, "ff you can’t sec why, you're more stub bornly set on this blasted hole than a goat is on his favorite tomato can. It would be bad enough, if we had it all by ourselves, but to have that yawping, bleating moron and that rat eyed crook living in the rear apart ment thrust into our faces all the time—no, thank you, not for mine! You may yearn to be ‘shown the ropes’ of Eighth avenue delicatessen shops by Petey Marks’ wife, but the monopoly Is yours: take my share without a struggle.” "You know I only said that so she wouldn't feel offended.’’ I defended myself, a bit mendaciously I am afraid, for there Is an odd gypsy-Uks strain in me which delights In study ing the bizaree in both places and people, and I could see how an ex cursion in the company of the flam boyant Mr:}, Marks might afford both interest and amusement. "I really didn’t mean to go." "No-o-o?” Dicky drawled, with an inflection and glance that made me flush resentfully. "Where Do We Go From Here?” "Well, whether you did or didn't, makes no matter by me"—he spread his hands in an exaggerated gesture. "For me this place is no bizness.’t My curiosity had been excited by a certain phrase he had used, and it now conquered my resentment. "Why did you call Mr. Marks a ‘rat eyed crook’ just now?” I asked. "Because 1 don’t know of any bet ter term describing him,” he returned curtly, and then he gave me a shrewd sppraising glance. "For all your wcrldy wisdom, and your courses in government sleuthing under Lil. you're rather a naive baby —do you know it?” he asked. "I don't know any such thing," I returned spiritedly. "You haven't the slightest idea what ray own notion of Sir. Marks is. It may coincide with your view exactly, for all you know, but because I asked the reason for your very peculiar expression, you immediately jumped to the conclusion that because of my naivete and ignor ance of the world. I had determined to champion the integrity of those queer neighbors of—'* • "Against all comers, eatch-as-catch can, eh?" he queried, laughingly, | tweaking my rat. "No^l flon’t think ; they fascinated you quite that much, j old dear. But enough of them. They're I far from being my idea of pleasant posttheater topic. What. I want to know isr where do we go from here?" Madge Controls Herself. “What do you mean?” I parried, although 1 understood him only too well. "Are you being dense on purpose?” he asked with the suspicion of a sneer. I caught back the angry retort on my lips with such fierce swiftness that a tiny fleck of blood marked where I had pressed my teeth against them. Then I turned away from Dicky and pretended to busy myself with the fastenings of my gown. It was impossible for me to speak with out flying out angrily at him. and I wanted to avoid that humiliating^ex hibition of temper it it could possibly be done. "Which role are we going to have now—the patlent-G-riaeldamartyr or the too-proud-to-flght one?" Dicky's tone was maddening in Its arogant drawl, and I. who know his every in flection, realised that he was fast woMiing himself up into one of his rages. But l set my troth and made no reply. .My lips should be guiltless of any provocative words until en durance ceased to be a virtue. I prom ised myself grimly. I reckoned, however, without re membering Dicky's power of blister ing speech. He waited but at second for any possible reply front me be fore again bursting out in a quick angry tone: “Look here, me beauteous Joan-of Arc-with-t he-fagots-just-lighting,” he sneered. “Ill explain this thing in words of one syllable. We've taken this thing by the fortnight—lucky I didn't yield to you and sign up for a month. Tomorrow we ll give them no tice and start to hunt for something decent.” ^ Japan has no fewer than 100 hotels built on the American plan. *■ Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. RI RGESS. The Making of the Woodperker Home. The greatest Joy is found in work. So bs It you mo not n shirk. —Drummer the Woodpecker. If ever there were two happy per sons In all the Great World those two were Drummer the Woodpecker and Mrs. Drummer as they worked on their new home. You know there Is nothing that makes for greater happiness than the building of a home when love directs the work. "Don’t you think it is moot deep enough?" asked Drummer. Now while oilier birds may work hard when building their nests, their work is easy compared with that of the Woodpeckers, for the latter must hammer and cut out chip by chip the home that is to be theirs. Hack and forth, back and forth, back and forth their heads flew as they hammered their stone bills in to that tree./ Of course, only one could work at a time. It would have made your neck ache just to watch them. Almost bs soon as the entrance had been made, they began to slant down, and after awhile they had a little hollow. Then they made that hollow deeper and deeper, and deep er and deeper. The deeper it grew the more they had work, for all those tiny chips had to be taken up and thrown out of the doorway. Of course, they didn't work every minute. They had to go look for food. This was a relief, for it rested their necks. "It is going to be the finest home we have ever had," de clared Drummer. “I hope so.” replied Mrs. Drum mer as she poked her bill out, and let some chjps drop. "Don't you think it is most deep ! -^Ifough?” asked Drummer, who. to I tell the truth, was beginning to get a | little weary of so much work. “No, my dear," re'plied Mrs. Drum- , mer as she came out for a few mo- j melits rest. Drummer sighed. "Just as you say," said he. "You know best. It. sometiiTtes seems to me as if we 1 might just as well have used one of our old homes.” Mrs. Drummer tossed her head. "The idea!” she exclaimed. "The idea of using an md house! Yon : ought to be ashamed of yourself, Drummer! What would our neigh bors think if we brought our babies up in hh old house? Are you getting lazy? I do believe you are!’ Now there Is nothing that Drum mer the Woodpecker despises rnbre than, laziness. There isn't a lazy feather on him. He didn't say a word, blit promptly r^ent to work. And the way those chips came out of that doorway was proof , that he wasn't lazy. • At last Mrs. Drummer decided that the hollow they had cut was deep enough. She smoothed the wall, and then poked her head out long enough to say, "I think, my dear, that I am about ready to make a bed for those eggs I hope we will have soon.” Now Mrs. Drumnj^r does not make a nest of straw and fathers and other soft things, as so many birds do. She uses for her bed just fine, very fine, chips and shred of wood. They make a very comfortable and soft bed. Of course, all the chips bad been thrown out. This had been necessary to get them out of the way while they were making that hollow deeper. Where do you think she got the chips for that bed? From the roof. Yes, sir, from the roof! You know that hollow had been slanted down from the entrance. Now she went to work to carry that hollow up. and Instead of throwing the chips out she Just dropped them to the bottom. So by the time she had made the hollow high enough to suit her, there was a nice bed of chips at the bottom. "There." said she as she dropped the last chip, "our home is finished." Drummer flew over to that favor ite dead limb and once more his iat a tat tat-tat tat tang out. Ho was drumming for Joy. Copyright, 1121. The next Story: "Mr. Blacksnake Makes a Shrewd Ouess." ^ Beatrice .Fairfax Problems That Perplex A Question of Religion. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am coming to you-with the old problem of religion and hope you will lie aide to answer my questions. 1 am a protestant by faith, hut have , gone with a young man who is a Catholic?- This summer he will join the Knights of Columbus. According to mv own belief, it is wrong, and so, i suppose. 1 should have nothing, to do with him. Hut I hale to think of breaking Off our friendship when he lias given me some of the best times of my life. 1 always have a good time when 1 am with him and I can't seem to think*of him as the enemy Ids faith makes him. And so my question: Stroud faith make a dif ference? 1 would never marry a Knight of Columbus, hut should it make a difference in friendship? He is 18 and 1 am 17. and we are still in school. Thanking you very much for your answer. STATtfi. Stars: It should never make a dif ference in friendship, but when you are so prejudiced again Ills religion you will he unhappy You are both young and may see things differently as you grow older. AVhy not wait a few years before you decide. Discouraged: All success has to be won by training as accurate a* that an athlete uses to win a race—and though It is not always to the swift, it is always to the steady, sturdy, earnest contestant. Any one who refuses to work for achievement, cheats himself on his chance to succeed. A11 the worth while th|ngs of life are expensive. I.ove must be paid for with unselfishness, understanding, pa Hence and sacrifice. Friendship de mands the same tilings in lesser de gree. Nothing for nothing is the in variable rule of life. Whenever a jjiaij claims he never had a chance, the truth of it is that he never availed himself of his chances. Any one can succeed. Bad health, a lack of education, even a wnong start ! don't Interfere. All that can come between a man and achievement is— himself! BiHy Buy: You can help voursclf by always speaking slowly. Cultivate this habit and it will soon be easy. Never argue about anything, no mat ter how much you want to. Keep calm at ail times. Ail stutterers think faster than they talk, that is the rea son for their trouble. Try talking much slower than you think and you will soon forget all about your trou ble. Be glad always that you have nothing more serious tlmn this and be thankful, too. Ixiok about you and you «ill soon he glad you have this trouble in place of a dozen others you can see every day of your life If you want to look. Teased \boiil (he Hoys. Dear Miss Fairfax: We read your letters every day and like your ad vice, Now, my question is: We at tended a party . nht long ago and two boys took us home. The next day in school everybody teased us. Now. did we do wrong because wp ace' fi ash man girls in high school and ii was the first lime/ a boy had walked home with either of us and it was only about two blocks? Now. please tell me U this is all right. BEGOV AND BOB. There certainly Is no harm In a boy walking home with a girl. People who tease only show a poor quality of mind. Gay: Go to any public library and you can easily find everything you wish. Fashion books are there also, and in them you will learn the cor rect shades and styles. If there Is no library In your town, write to Miss Mary Williams. Nebraska State Libra ry Commlapkm. at Lincoln. Jimmy: Perhaps If you would stop going with other girls, the girl would stop going with other hoys. An hott est. direct declaration of your true feeling might be persuasive argument. Bobby: Perhaps he has thrown the letters away, in which case he cannot return them. Have you a brother, or could your father not demand their return? -*-— Uncle Sam Says ; Karin l-ease ( oiltraets.

If so. you should get a copy of this booklet which tells about the neces sary legal points of a farm lease and suggests points which should receive careful consideration before execut tlng a lease. ^ It has been the experience of many farmers that in the making of a lease contract one is likely to overlook or omit some essential point* unless he has available memoranda to remind him of all the matters that should bo considered.

I had a friend who told me of Cardui, so the next time when 1 grew so weak and run-down 1 be gan to use it. I used it three months. I grew stronger and less nervous.
