TOWNE Copyright by American Press j 7 ation 1DU i The door of the Womans Exchange swung open aud closed behind Billy Delwins broad back For an instant he hesitated besieged by a battery of feminine eyes Then he strode for ward to the counter where under glass cases were arranged nandsome and toothsome cakes of every descrip tion and variety With his hat under his arm he stared down at the cakes with a calculating eye I want a plum cake he said Anally Have you got one today Wait a minute And the woman disappeared presently returning with a large box which she opened and disclosed under tissue paper wrap pings a huge round cake Billys eyes sparkled dangerously a he surveyed the beautiful cake Ill take it he said quickly Then he added a question Is it plum cake Yes indeed and perfectly deli cious said the woman enthusiasti cally Then It was that he summoned cour age to lean forward and ask a ques tion in a low voice Is it against the rule to mention the name of the mem ber who baked this cake The cash register clanged noisily as the woman turned away Against the rules she said crisply May I inquire persisted Billy hesi tatingly his voice still lower if this cake was baked erer by an old lady The attendant smiled shrewdly over her shoulder Its against the rules to mention ages also she returned Once in the street he boarded a car and was conveyed with more or less rapidity to his bachelor rooms He took the cake from its box I dunno Thats more like it than any of em he muttered as he went to and fro hastily removing the things from his library table Then he laid several clean white towels on the pol ished surface and bringing from vari ous places of concealment a number of large round frosted cakes he placed ft T Li ive got tou now rirriiiiis giiiES them in a row on the table There were seven in all Looks like a cake sale he grinned somewhat anxiously I hope none of the chaps happen in Theyll think Im all off if they see this layout but by George Ill find her if it takes the rest of my life He walked around the table survey ing its toothsome burden with a crit ical eye Of all the cakes he decided that his last purchase was the hand somest the lightest and the most de liciously fragrant Now for a taste he said plunging a silver knife in the first one The slice was clean and yellow and full of currants Billy wrinkled his nose dis dainfully and laid down the slice Phyllis never made that one he commented Her cakes always have raisins in Now for the next one One after another he tried the dif ferent cakes sniffing tasting exam ining and shaking his head dubiously after each operation At last he came to his latest pur chase the Valentine cake and if one watched him closely they might have observed that his cheeks paled and his firm lips were compressed into straight colorless lines Suddenly he groanel and laid down the knife If this one shouldnt be hrs lu muttered despernely and th ii v an upward lling 1N hdoue heai he plunged - h Sr Into

the v y iy at eiori ir the its elusive ttvir When h ul islied he laid down the knife an I down in a 1 covered dial the color lloodiig his tanned cheeks Ive found her Ive found her at last he cried exultantly Nobody in the world ever baked that cake except Phyllis Giles She made one last year for her Valentine party same size same flavor same decoration and you cant fool me sir He turned the cake slowly around and viewed It from all sides Her hands made It she touched it and she placed all those little hard red hearts about the edge and not one of those hearts is harder than Phyllis own -is SCC3B LUaBHEiS heart or she would never have hiadeii herself away from me in this manner As if Mr Giles failure and suicide could make any other difference to me than to feel more tenderly toward her If nothing had happened or if Phyllis had not hidden away after it was over we should have been married by this time instead of my following up the only clew I ever could get that she had come to New York and was baking cakes for the Womans Ex change Ive bought plum cakes from every exchange in the city I believe until the women look on me with sus picion He sat for a long time in silence and then lie arose and bundled the cakes into their boxes The last purchase he wrapped care fully and replaced In its box Then he got into his overcoat picked up his hat and with the cake under his arm he sought the street Presently he was once more standing before the counter in the Womans Exchange The tea tables were empty now and there was no one around save the stern visaged woman who had waited upon him earlier in the afternoon Will you kindly break your rule and tell me the uame of the young lady who made this cake he asked with the keenest anxiety in his deep voice It is impossible said the woman primly Would you forward a I er to her if I should write one I Hilly Certainly not A i -lied expression was the f - of humor that Billy had seen i lie dull fabric of this wearisome chase after the girl he loved Will you call her on the telephone and allow me to talk with her per sisted Billy Really madam 3011 will be making two people very happy I could not do that eitHer I am very sorry sir but it seems to me if Miss Giles really wanted to see you she would not withhold her address The woman flushed with vexation at the slip she had made in thus revealing the name Billy had been longing to hear It is Phyllis then he cried tri umphantly I knew that cake No body in the world can make a plum cake like Phyllis he explained with enthusiasm The moment I tasted it I knew The harsh face softened a little Her cakes are different from the others she said lukewarmly She said once that she could make cakes better than anything cise in the world and so she thought that was the thing she ought to do to gain a livelihood Bless her heart muttered Billy un der his breath knowing well that if he had his own way that Phyllis dainty fingers should never bake a cake in the world unless it was for some es pecial treat like St Valentines day Do you know what day tomorrow will bo he demanded suddenly The woman stared Valentines day of course she said busying her self with the wares in the glass case Well thats the day when separat ed sweethearts are reunited you know blurted Billy sheepishly Seems to me if I could help any one along in that way Id do it It isnt part of the business said the woman impatiently Really sir Id like to help you out but I simply cannot divulge the names of our mem bers Very well madam cried Billy grimly Ill find her without your help and when I do youll lose the best cake maker in your membership The door closed noisily behind his indignantly retreating form and the woman stared after him for a brief moment I wonder she muttered softly I wonder if it would have done any harm to have told him he had a good face and he seemed so much in earnest and just as he said tomorrow is Valentines day In the street Billy paused for a mo ment and looked up and down Sud denly a little black gowned form emerged from the crowd and paused for an instant before the door of the exchauge and then laid a tentative hand on the knob Billy Delwin was beside her in an instant Phyllis he cried sharply Ive got you now and you cant lose me again She uttered a little frightened cry and turned a white face up to his Oh Billy Billy she gasped Where did you come from I just came out of this exchange where the hearts of the attendants are harder than the little red hearts on your Valentine plum cake for they would not divulge your address though I begged almost on my knees But Ive got you now Phyllis Giles Dont you dare enter that ogres den again He drew her trembling form close to him and they stood in the shadow of the doorway her slight form lean ing against him How did you know Billy How did you find me out asked Phyllis after a little silence Billy told her of his quest for the cakes of the slight clew he had fol lowed and of his purchase that night of the Valentine plum cake which he recognized as her handiwork Darling he whispered after it had been told tomorrow is St Valen tines day You have baked this cake and on it you have asked the question Will you be my valentine Now I bought that cake and take it upon my- self to answer that question I will be your valentine under one condition What is that asked Phyllis That you will admit that youre not sorry that I bought the cake Sorry echoed Phyllis joyfully Why Billy I was thinking of you when I made it and I splashed so many tears over the little red hearts that they bled and I had to replace them with others Billy Delwin I thought youd never come 1111 imnnw TOLD IN PANTOMIME The Worth of a Chinese Royal Gift to Li Hung Chang The late empress dowager of China was something of a humorist The nuthor of Behind the Scenes In IV king tells a story of how Li Hung Chang after concluding the treaty of Shimonosekl was presented by ihe empress with a cloth of gold bag con taining some heavy article The treas ure turned out to be a large vase and Li who was an enthusiastic collector of Chinese ceramics at once spnt for his secretary Mr Pethick to come and examine the new acquisition Some time was spent in a careful examination to determine the dynnst during which this treasure was pro duced but the date of this especial paste was lost with its other technical classifications After a longtime Mr Pethick lifted it gingerly placed it on a table put himself in front of it drawing a wrap round his shoulders and slowly very slowly hold his hands up to It turning them in the attitude of warming at a fire Chinese need few words Li under stood and was heartbroken The pan toiniino indicated to him that the sup posed priceless vase was only a clever reproduction made in Paris and the secretary warming his hands before it meant it was so fresh from the pottery furnace that he could still notice the warmth FOOD AND DIGESTION Civilized Man Needs Cheerful roundings at His Meals Robust people so long as they get what suits their own uncultivated taste are apt to make very light ot what they call fancies about food and overlook their real importance Feeding on the part of civilized man is not the simple procedure which it is with animals although many ani mals are particular as to their food and what is called dainty The ne cess j for civilized man of cheerful company at his meal and for the ab sence of mental anxiety is universally recognized as well as the importance of an inviting appeal to the appetite through the sense of smell and of sight while the injurious effect of the reverse conditions which may lead to nausea and even vomiting is admitted Even the ceremonial features of the dinner table the change of clothes the leisurely yet precise succession of approved and expected dishes accom panied by pleasant talk and light hearted companionship are shown by strict scientific examination to be im portant aids in the healthy digestion of food which need not be large in quantity because wisely presented Sir Ray Lankester in London Tele graph Why Spiders Fight When two spiders fight there is gen erally a good reason for the attack and the vigorous defense that follows It is not generally known that after a certain time spiders become inca pable of spinning a web from lack of material The glutinous excretion from which the slender threads are spun is limited therefore spiders can not keep on constructing new snares when the old ones are destroyed But they can avail themselves of the web producing powers of their younger neighbors and this they do without scruple As soon as a spiders web constructing material has become ex hausted and its last web destroyed it sets out in search of another home and unless it should chance to find one that is tenantless a battle usually en sues which ends only with the retreat or death of the invader or defender A Pretty Compliment His incessant
