SLENDER, girlish little ar
tist, a huge grand piano, and
10 skillful fingers, lift vaude-
ville audiences nightly from their
j prosaic, hum-drum lives into a won-
der world of beauty, transported
thither on the wings of music.
"Music liath charms" and Miss
Daisy Cordier Nellis, who is ap
pearing this week at the Orphcutn,
brings with her the art of the old
masters, giving a welcome respite
from the jazzy, jangly tunes of the
modern day.
Sacrificing everything for her
music, this attractive young pianiste
has spent her life perfecting her
art, as she began her studies at the
age of 5. Miss Nellis is a former
Kansas City girl, leaving her home
city for New York, where she stud
ied for three years under Rudolph
Ganz. She has filled many concert
engagements, but eager to bring
pleasure to as many as possible, she
has chosen the vaudeville stage for
the time.
"A man will listen to good music
for 15 or 20 minutes and enjoyj it,
but you couldn't persuade him to
attend an ;vening's concert," said
Miss Nellis. Truly spoken, and so
for her allotted minutes this talent
ed young musician gives her au
diences a bit of Liszt or of Chopin,
or perhaps of Wagner, and then
-hurries away, leaving them ap
plauding for more.
After a winter season of strenuous
work Miss Nellis leaves the glare
of the footlights and the hum and
bustle of the busy world behind her
and seeks her summer home far up
in the woods of Maine, 14 miles
from a railroad. There she lives
with a farmer's family, but her days
arc spent in her outdoor studio,
for her piano is shipped to her sum
mer residence and she practices by
the hour, the only other sound the
twittering of birds and rustling of
the leaves. From the door of her
forest retreat one may see the dap
pling waters of a tiny lake, and
far away the peaks of the White
mountains. From early in June un
til the green woods turn to scarlet
and gold Miss Nellis studies aiiil
plans her winter's work, returning
with renewed vigor and fresh in
spiration. Miss Nellis has many friends in
Omaha who arc welcoming her this
week.

CHAPTER III.
The Dancing Figure.
PEGGY felt a thrill of delicious
excitement as the Night Flyer
plunged through the darkness.
Never had she been on so fast a
train, and never had she felt the sen
sation of riding on a locomotive.
Xtunber 337 seeined like a powerful
living creature that was running
away with the lorig string of cars
behind it.
But it wasn't running away. In
stead it was being driven by a master
who's slightest touch it instantly
obeyed. Though Engineer Bill was
weak and ill, his hand held the throt
tle in a skillful grip that at one mo
ment kept Number 337 closely in
check to round a curve and at the
next sent the great locomotive leap
ing ahead at tremendous speed along
a straight stretch of track.
Fred, the fireman, was kept busy
shoveling coal into the firebox. Num
ber 337 was a giant in strength, but
it also had a giant's appetite. Peggy,
who felt that the fireman, in his en
mity for the engineer, had mischief
in his mind, was glad to see that his
work kept him hustling. He didn't
have much time for plotting.
j As Peggy watched Fred, a loud
rattle and roar startled her nearly
I out of her wits. Her first thought
j was that Number 337 had jumped
i the track and. was plunging to its
j destruction. But a glance out of the
p cab window showed her that they
were simply whizzing through a
1 small town. The rattle was caused
1 by wheels clattering over switches
while the roar was the echoing back
of the roar of the train as they pas
se cars standing on the sidetracks.
A quick flicker of lights and the
town left far behind.
Now Peggy saw ahead a bright
spot of light. It grew larger and larg
er at amazing speed, hurling itself
straight at them. In a flash she real
ized that it was another train. With
a cry of fear she seized Engineer
Bill's arm. Couldn't he see the dan
ger? Bill heard her cry and felt her
grasp his arm. For just a moment he
seemed about to turn toward her.
Then he stiffened in rigid attention
to his duty, his eyes keeping steadily
to the track ahead of him. But he
didn't slack the speed of the Night
Flyer one bit.
Alt this happened in just the
smallest part of a minute. The other
engine was almost upon them. As
Peggy braced herself to meet an
awful crash, there was a pounding
roar, and the other train thundered
by- .
Then Teegy, almost wilting in
j sudden relief, remembered that this
I was a double track road. Of course,
j Engineer'' Bill hadn't slackened
speed. There was no need to, for
the other train was safe on its own
rails.
Engineer Bill, as soon as the ne
cessity of attention was past, turned
to see why his arm had been seized.
He looked across toward Fred, the
fireman, and was plainly astonished
to see him in his place. Evidently
lie thought Fred was the one who
had spoken. There was such a
clangor in the cab that Engineer Bill
did not try to call out to Fred, but a
few minutes later, when he had
brought the train to a stop at a
junction, he turned to the fireman.
"Why did you shout and crab my
arm back there?" he asked.
"What's the matter with you?" re
torted Fre din surprise. "I've been
on my own side of the cab all the
time. Are you seeing things?"
Engineer Bill didn't answer, but
Peggy saw a troubled look come in
to his eyes, and a moment later she
heard him murmur to himself.
"Can it be that I'm delirious? I
surely heard a shout and felt a hand
on my arm.
Fred swung himself out of the cab
for a moment as the train stood still,
but was back at his place as the
conductor gave the go ahead signal.
Peggy wondered where he had been,
her curiosity being sharpened by a
queer, guilty look on his face. Ven
turing over to his side of tire cab she
heard him mutter: y
"Maybe I'll get my chance to drive 1
S&5 gg"-
With a cry' of fear she seized Engi
neer Bill's arm.
the Night Flyer before we get to
the end of the run. If he's seeing
things, I'll give him something to see
that will drive him crazy."
Again the train glided on its way,
again there was a flicker of lights as
the junction town was left behind,
and again No. 337 roared into the
darkness.
Peggy felt once more the thrill of
excitement 'she tingled with the de
light of swift motion. But suddenly
her delight vanished and horror took
its place". Therei ahead, right in the
path of light, was a black, dancing
figure, and the train was rushing at
it with the speed of a cannon-ball.
Even as she saw it, she felt a sharp
jerk and heard the scream of sud
denly checked wheels. Engineer Bill
had seen the figure and applied the
air brakes.

The Food Budget for 1919?j
It has been very hard, indeed, in j
the past year to make any definite J
plans for the amount of money to j
be spent on food, for we have been
sailing an uncharted sea, A study j
of 1917 bills was a help, of course,
but prices have soared beyond what
any of us ever imagined. I imagine
that we have passed the zenith now
and ttfiat prices will scarcely go any
higher, though they may stay
at their skyward level for a time.
Hence we can make definite plans
as to how much must be allowed for
food in the coming year.
The food budget is but part of a
household budget, but it is a part
that has assumed undue proportions.
We must have a certain amount of
food that fact is granted. We are
accustomed to a certain type of
food. Your type is not quite like
your neighbor's. It may cost more
or it may cost less. But whatever
it cost formerly it cost you a great
deal more in the last few years. Per
haps you sighed at the increase and
let it go at that. No doubt you used
what you had even more carefully
than ever before. But did you alter
at all the kind of food you had al
ways had? (Beyond a certain amount
of conservation, of course). I asked
a class of mine recently how many ot
them ever had a meat substitute,1
except fish, on the home dinner ta
ble. Only one hand was raised. Yet
we all exclaim at the high cost of
meat.
Cost of Food Per Person.
To maintain a table somewhat
close to the before-the-war average,
the cost is 50 cents per person pel
day. With five in the family that
means $900 per year or half of an
$1,800 income. I wonder if it is
wise to spend that proportion on
food. Formerly we were told thai
25 per cent of a moderate income
was enough to spend on food, theu

the per cent rose to 30, later to 40.
I wonder if it must go higher? For
you know what is crowded out as
we spend more and more on food.
The things of the spirit, the most
wf)rth while things of life, sink back
as material wants- crowd forward
because, unfortunately, even spirit
ual values demand a dollars and
cents expression. Books, music, va
cations, education, all cost money.
If we are not a hopelessly material
minded people we must make provi
sion for those finer things. We must
have them, "on bread and milk," it
need be, as I read recently.
If we cannot afford 50 cents per
person per day for food, what can
we get along on? It used to be 25
or 30 cents a day, then 35 cents or
40 cents. I am not sure whether one
can set a varied table on 35 cents,
but it can be done on 40 cents,
though not without most careful
planning. And, of course, such a
table would be very simple, indeed,
though capable of satisfying every
dietary need. This column hopes to
print some low-cost dietaries soon.
Analysis of a Food Budget.
If you would like to cut down
your food budget, examine your va

Dining Cars to Return to
the A La Carte System
On dining cars the a la carte
meal is coming back into its own
soon after the first of the year. It
is said that the regular meal plan
did not prove to be popular with
the traveling public. The conten
tion was that only a few of the
travelers cared for a full meal, much
preferring to pick the articles of
food from the menu card and then
pay for what was ordered.
With restrictions removed in the
matter of food, railroad officials
have concluded to recognize the
demands of the public and as a re
sult the regular meal is to go.
