"Sure, it's old we all are togeth
er," she said to herself, nodding her
head. "The old cabin with the rain
leaking through the thatch of a wet
day, and the old well with moss on
the stones of it. And the hens them
telves, too old to cook, and too old
to be laying except on the door
step in the sunshine, the creatures!
But 'tis home, thanks be to God."
She lifted her kettle and went
slowly hack into the house. The hens
tollowed her to the door, but she
shut the lower half of it behind her
and left them outside.
She went to the fireplace and hung
the kettle on the hook, blew the
coals to a blaze with a pair of leaky
hollows, and sat down before the
fire once more to wait for the water
to boil.
She knit round and round her.
stocking, and there was no siStlnd of
her needle, and the tick-tick of the
clock, and the little purring noise of
the fire on the hearth.
Just as the kettle began to sing,
there was a squawking among the
hens on the doorstep, and two dark
heads appeared above the closed
half of the door.
A little girl's voice called out,

Revelations
Why Madge's Unselfishness Really
Troubled Leila.
I was in the condition described
in idiomatic feminine parlance as be
ing "worn to a frazzle" by the tiifte
the afternoon of our departure ar
rived. Our train south was scheduled to
start from the Pennsylvania station
at half an. hour after midnight, but
the only, train we could get from
Marvin connecting with it left our
village at IS minutes after 8. Mother
Graham and little Mrs. ' Durkec
fretted and fumed over this fate
each evidently considering that in
some way the railroad schedule
ought to be instantly changed for
that day at least until their sons
respectively came to the rescue and
explained to the irate women that
they could get into the southern
train within an hour after reaching
the Pennsylvania station, and go di
rectly to their drawing rooms.
Then they turned their restless,
frenzied energy upon their baggage.
I. of course, had no opportunity to
.observe Mrs. Durkee, but Leila,
pausing for winute's breathless
gossip in delivJing a message for
her prospective mother-in-law, said
whimsically:
"Do you know, Madge, she has un
packed her suitcase seven times to
my knowledge. And each time she
almost weeps because she cannot get
in something more. I'm morally cer-
I'M THE GUY!
I'm tfie guy who uses the open
car window for a cuspidor regard
J less of consequences to passengers
sitting at the open windows behind
him.
If it is unpleasant for them, let
them shut their windows or change
their seats. They can't expect me
to swallow my cud or stop chewing
just on their account.
I don't think about them, and
what's more I don't care about them,
i I've got a right to chew tobacco
any place I please and if it necessi
tates the performance, every now
and then, of a little act that finds
the window convenient, why I go
to it.
" Of course, if I was somewhere
where I couldn't get away with it,
I'd have to stop chewing. But
there's the open window right beside
me and nothing to stop me from
using it but consideration for others.
And I haven't got that, so you
have to stand for it.

WHY?
Does a Humming Bird Hum?
(Copyright, 1930, by the Wheeler Syn
dicate, Inc.)
Though the ' smallest of all
birds, the humming-bird makes a
noise peculiar to its species by
reason of the ceaseless energy
with which it moves its wings in
the course of its search for hon
ey. In comparison to the size
of its body, the wings of the humming-bird
are quite long and
slender. In order to remain
poised in the air, the bird is
forced to move or flap these with
extreme rapidity so swiftly, in
fact, that the movement is per
ceptible to the eye only as a con
fused blur, like a moving picture
which is being run too fast. It
is this beating upon the air that
produces the drone or hum char
acteristic of this bird which,
equipped with long bill, can ex
tract the juice even from very
deep flowers.
The smallest of all this species
of birds is found in the West
Indies and in South America. Its
usual length is about an inc" and
a quarter and it weighs only
twenty grains, being exceeded in
both weight and size by several
species of bees.

People Freckle Easily?
"How are you at all, Grannie Ma
lone?" And a little boy's voice said,
"We've come to bring you a sup of
milk that mother sent you."
Grannie Malone jumped out of her
chair and ran to the door. "Och,
if it's not the McQueen Twins the
two of them!" she cried, "Rless
your sweet lnces! Come in, Larry
and Eileen! You are as welcome as
the flowers of spring. And how is
your mother, the day? May God
spare her to her comforts for long
years to come!"
She swung the door open a she
talked, took the jug from Eileen's
hand, and poured the milk into a
jug of her own that stood on the
dresser.
"Sure, mother is well. And how
is yourself, Grannie Malone?" Eileen
answered, politely.
"Barring the rheumatism and the
asthma, and the old age in my
bones, I'm doing well, thanks be to
God," said Grannie Malone. "Sit
clown by the fire, now, now, till I wet
a cup of tea and make a cakeeh for
you! And indeed it's yourselves can
read nie a letter from my son
Michael, that's in" America! It has
been in the house these three days
waiting for some one with the learn
ing to come along by."
She ran to the chair and picked
up the letter. The Twins sat down
on a little bench by the fireplace,
and Grannie Malone put the letter
in their hands.
"We've not got all the learning
yet," Larry said. "We might not
be able to read it."
"You can try," said Grannie Ma
lone. Then she opened the letter,
and a bit of folded green paper with
printing on it fell out. "God bless
the boy," she cried, "there"s one of
those in every letter he sends me!
'Tis money that is! Can vou make
out the figures on it, now?"

"Mother Graham's record to date
is 11, I think," I returned gayly, but
softly, with wary eyes upon the door
of my mother-in-law's room. "And
t ach time she expresses her opniion
of the 'government,' which she holds
directly responsible for the traffic
conditions that made it necessary to
send the trunks on ahead of time.
But I don't mind. It occupies her
mind and her time. -She announced
this morning that she wouldn't have
a minute's time to help me today,
that I would have to get on by my
self, and because of that decision I
am going to be able to make the
train comfortably."

Leila laughed softly, then a
troubled look shadowed her lovely
eyes.

wisttuiiy. "lell me, Madge, do you

Brown to my wedding? I felt and
Edith felt even more strongly than

She stopped abruptly and looked
at me in frightened fashion. In a
flash I had continued the suspicion
which had come to me before, that
it was Edith Fairfax, who had felt
the obligation to Rita Brown, Edith,
who was the real cause for insisting
upon the presence of the girl so

party.

"There is one thing I can do to
make things smoother for you,"
said, ignoring her last seutnece and
agitation, "and that is to invite
