“My Husband’s Love
The Strange But Efficient Way Mnt.
Bird Did Her Taek.
Little Mrs. Bird slid the masked
1oor into place behind her, shutting
away the underground tunnel through
which tfre had made our passage from
the house to the garage at the back
of her grounds. Then she marshaled
us Into a double line, allotting a child
to each adult.
With Robert at her aide, she led
the way. I was behind her with
Mary. Harriet next with the small
Roderick, and Kdwin last with W il
lfem by his side. The driver of the
e{i>r In which I had ridden from the
iM\y materialized apparently from no
where. and, taking the luggage,
brought up the rear.
‘‘Remember, not a sound," said
Mrs. Bird softly, with her hand upon
a small door of the garage, opening
in the direction of the bay. "I can't
use the flashlight. So each of you
will have to follow the one directly
in front of you. Don't step aalde from
the path because you’ll get Into
swampy land. Don't worry, though.
I could walk this trail blindfolded, and
luckily there's just a touch of fog, so
nobody a few feet off possibly can see
us. Nobody around, John?"
‘‘Not a sign.” the young driver
replied in the same muffled tone she
had used. "Mart and I have Just
been all over with a fine tooth eomh.
and he's still roaming around on the
Job. Nobody'll have a chance to get
near you until they’re safe In the
boat ”
“All ready then," Mrs. Bird csrc
fully unlocked the door, which swung
back noiselessly on oiled hinges, and
we filed out into the darkness.
I took Mary's hand in mine, fixed
my eyes upon Mrs. Bird's Indomitable
little figure trudging In front of me,
end concentrated all my faculties
upon keeping my feet and Mary's in
line with ttnffe of Mrs. Bird and Rote
srt. Mary's mittened hand clung to
mine tensely, but I was as sure that
child was not frightened as I was
that she was reveling In the melodra
matic situation in which she found
herself.
“Everything All Ready?”
We walked over low though tin
even ground for a little, and then I
found myself following an ascending
path which wound up almost to the
top of the hill between Mrs. Bird's
house and the bay. We were almost
at the top when I found that the
path suddenly diverted to the right,
and, skirting tha hill, we descended
upon the other aide to the level again,
and followed a fairly straight path to
tlee low boathouse lying dark, almost
undiscernibl*. Here Mrs. Bird halted
us, speaking for the first time since
we had left the garage.
"Keep tight hold of the children's
hands,” she warned, "and stand
where you are. The water la deep
right here now at high tide."
I could hear the lapping of the
water distinctly, and as my eyes be
came more accustomed to the place
I saw that w* were etandlng directly
In front of a small narrow Inlet, no
wider than a creek, upon which close
to us was drawn up a medium-sized
motor boat.
"Everything all ready, George?''
•ha spoke apparently to tha empty
»lr, but a voice from the boat replied
gruffly:
“As ready as this old tub e\ cl
ean be.''
Mr*. Bird laughed softly.
“George wouldn't trade that old tub
for the finest yacht going,” she said,
“but he’* Ilk# aom# huabanda—h# re

America's Fastest Growth In Home
Ownership Is in
One Kind of
Business Thai
Doesn’t Prosper
in Nebraska!
Official* of the University of
Nebraska, in advising the out
side world about the various
kinds of industry that will pros
per in Nebraska, always omit
the fertilizer business.
“In fact,” they say, “that’s
about the only kind of business
relating to general agriculture
which doesn’t thrive in Ne
braska.”
Nebraska's soil is so good with
its Loess qualities that it
doesn’t need the ordinary soil
fertilizer.
Government figures, issued a few months
ago, on the growth of Home Ownership in
American cities, showed Omaha to be in
the lead.
The last official report shows 48.4 per cent
of the Homes in Omaha are owned by the
families that live in them.
This figure puts Omaha in third place in
the United States as a Home Owning City.
The figure also shows that Omaha's Home
Ownership has been growing faster than
that of any other American City.
•
That rapid growth has not been spas
modic. It has been under way since 1900,
over twenty years. ,
Omaha’s tremendous record in Home build
ing, last year and the year previous, shows
that the Home Ownership practice is
increasing.
In addition to showing the fastest Growth
in Home Ownership, the next government
report undoubtedly will show that Omaha
is actually in first place.
This condition proves that Omaha is pros
perous, and that her people have money.
It shows that they like Omaha, and put
their money in Homes, with the idea of
spending their lives here.
This condition also reflects the great
strength of Omaha’s building and loan
associations. These associations make it
possible for any thrifty man to have a
Home of his own.
Growth in home ownership is the best type of growth that any
city can experience. Omaha's growth, therefore, is of a better
type than that of any other American City.
