ALL AUTHORS ARE, TALKATIVE
If You Know One, Be Tactful and Let
Him Converse About His
Work. i
I know nothing about really great
authors, but I think I speak for a
large number of the followers of the
trade ,when I say that they like to
talk about their work, one great rea
son being that writing is a lonely pro
fession. If yon write, as a rule you
must do tt ,by yourself; or if you do
attempt It in company, you or the
company will be sorry. Therefore,
when the writing is done, and a sym
pathetic listener offers, ,the writer is
glad to wipe out some of the lonely
hours with a little conversation.
So. if you know an author, don't ba
too breathless , about his calling; treat
him like a human being. Let him talk
a little, and do not be shocked if he
manages to keep the tears back when
he tells you about his last short
story. Only, be tactful.
Do not say, as an eager acquaint
ance once said to me: "Oh, I do think
it ;is so interesting to write. It must
be Just fascinating when your manu
scripts come back!" I discovered af
terward that she meant proofs in
stead of manuscripts, but the mistake
of Just (that single word made me,
who am usually so garrulous about
my trade, feel for the time being that
I really did not care ever to 6peak
of it again.) So I repeat, let the poor
author talk, but be tactful. Atlantic

Moderate Amount Acts as Appetite
Keeps Digestion Good and Whol
Works Running 8mooth.
By rniir. john wn.t.Ann boi.tk.)
Our women folks say need let
tuce because It Is good for our lu
sides. They alBO seek to force upon
us dandelions, spinach, beet tops and
alt manner of greens, using the same
weak-kneed reason.
Now what we want to know is this:
If we admit that green foods are good
for us, which we do for the sake of
argument only, what's the reason?
They contain about 99 per cent wa-
ter, which conies too expensive In this
form, and the rest is mostly Just
plain green color. There a a trace or
fiber and a trace of starch, a little
mineral food and that's all. Then
where Is the virtue? One cannot very
well say, but It's a proven fact, that
a moderate amount of green food acta
as an appetizer, keeps the digestion
good and the whole works running
smoother.
So it Is with the hens, whose appe-
tlte and tastes come closer to that of
the human being than any other de-
mestic beast, except the pig. She eats
grain, whole or ground, cooked meat
or raw, vegetables of all kinds tn all
shapes, green food, salt, charcoal and
lime, and she drinks what we do, out
side of Intoxicants. She will eat any
thing we will and lota of things that

we won't. The hen needs green feed,
for all the reasons that we need tt
( and for several private onea of her
1 own. The most important one of the
i private reasons is the color of the
, .

! We all know how pale the yolk of
I most eggs are (n wlnter. Perhaps yOU
: hav9 never flgure(1 out why tw- ,
but Just charged It to cold storage or
omethlng like that The fact is that
j perrectiy rresn eggs nave mucn ugnt-
er yolks in winter than they do In
summer, and the reason is lack of
green feed.
In summer the hen picks up leaves
and stems and all manner of succulent
green stuff. This green matter, or at
least the coloring part of it. Is chang
ed to orange or yellow In the hen's
body and the result Is deep-tinted
yolks. So It is necessary to feed lay
ing hens green feed the year round,
both for her health and the color of
the eggs.

Quite half an hour had dragged by

i time i noticed a covered cart
wttn a black pony In the shafts pass
otner window at a leisurely pace,
Qur river mugt hove had his orders,
for n, turned his horse and followed
In the same direction.
Peace remained silent, so I left htm
alone and contented myself with star
ing out of the window. We were
going northward towards Hampstead.
The Unes 'of houses broke up Into sep
arate villas. Lilac and laburnum
bushes peeped over the garden walls.
The throng of traffic grew thinner, the
pavement less crowded. It was past
five when we drew up at a HtUe pub
llo house. Peace toddled out, and I
followed at his heels.
"He la unloading his cart tn Ashley
street, yonder," said the driver, lean
1 Ing from the box, as be pointed with
his whip to a side road. "Do you want
; me to wait, sir?"
i The Inspector nodded and dlsap
1 peared through the inn door, leaving
; me on the pavement. As he bad given
me no orders I strolled back to the
: corner and peeped down the road,
I which ran at right angles to tha one
In which I was.
, About forty yards away stood the
: little covered cart with the gray
: haired dealer of the auction room
', talking to a lad boslde It. Presently
the lad crawled under the canvas
hood and baiu!l down the Identical
long tailed horse that had brought
about the public discomfiture of the
gallant Colonel Uunton. The dealer
pushed tt across the stone pavement
Into a little furniture shop, and the
j boy, whipping up the black pony,
drove quickly away.
I turned back to find the detective
at my elbow.
"Peace," I said, "what Is your inter

"What do you mean?"

I "Not Mr. Taubery's diamond?"
"Exactly. Yet we have still to

"But, In the meantime the old dealer

for the night. It seemed plain to me
that nothing would happen for that
evening at least, though Peace did not
seem to despond.
Nine o'clock ben o'clock ten
thirty, and the customer arrived.
I had watched his cab come rattling
mustache and an indecisive chin,
The cab turned about, and pulled up
opposite the Fhop door. The Inspector
touched my arm, and we walked down
the stairs, picked up our driver, who
was smoking In the bar, and so bun
dled Into our own vehicle. A few
whispered Instructions, and we drove
ORIGIN OF BARREL UNKNOWN
This Receptacle for All Manner of

Nobody knows who Invented the
barrel. It has been used since time
Immemorial.
IJarrels are used for all manner of
articles, solid and liquid. There are
barrels for holding sugar, salt, apples,
potatoes, and so on; for all aorta of
oils, from the heaviest lubricants to
the most volatile products of petro
leum; for beers, wines, and all sorts
of beverages. It Is contended that
the barrel Is the strongest structure

As we pa-sed the shop at a walking
pace I could see that the dealer and
his assistant were hoisting the bicycle
horse to the roof of the waiting cab.
Fifty yards more snd we drew up ty
the pavement
Peace kept the windows closed, so
that I could not look bark along the
road: but through the glass In front
I could see that our driver was quietly
taking note or affairs. It was not the
first time that the Inspector had em
ployed him, as I learnt afterwards,
and the man knew his business.
Suddenly our cab whlHked round
and set off at a rapid pace. The stran
ger had selected a fast horse, thut
waa evident. Wo swung through a
maze of narrow streets, tugged up a
long hill, skirted a stretch of open
common a part of Hampstead Heath.
I believe and finally stopped In the
shade of some tall trees. As I got out
I saw the lights of the chalne station
ary at some distance up the road.
"There may be trouble, Mr. Phil
Hps," whispered the little detective.
"I'm not certain I ought to bring you
along. If anything"
"Nonsense!" I interrupted, glancing
down at him with some amusement
"Well, take this, anyway. I had It
from a German burglar."
He thrust a strip of hardened rub
ber into my hand, about eighteen
Inches in length by two In thickness.
"It will stun a man without leaving
a mark," be saM gently.
The four-wheeler that we hsd fol
lowed was waiting before a green door
set tn a high brick wall. Without any
attempt at concealment. Peace walked
to the door and tried the handle. It
waa not locked, and we passed Into a
fair-sized garden, set about with flow
er beds and clumps of laurel. In the
middle I could see the outline of a
square gray house. Two of the ground
floor rooms glowed behind their cur
tains; the rest waa darkness.
We crossed a comer of the lawn,
and stopped behind a patch of bushes
directly in front of the entrance
porch. The night was very still and
silent. What desperate men were
gathered In that quiet place? How
could we hope to arrest them flushed
with the triumph of so splendid a
prize T To be truthful, I began to feel
a certain anxloty for our position;
though upon Peace's face, showing
white In the gloom, was a look of per.
feet serenity a look that I could not
understand.
"Mercy, oh, mercy!"
It was a trembling wall of terror, a
wall that was suddenly blotted out by
a roar like the challenge of a bull.
From within the house came the crush
of overturned chairs and the Jingle of
breaking glass. And all tho time the
shrieks and hoarse ravings drew near
er and louder, until, with a loud bang,
the ball door was flung open and a
man tumbled down the steps as If

It was after two in the morning bo

of my rooms. 1 had nuid.i the fourth
of that odd cab load to the nearest
police station; for. though Mr. Jack
Stt'ttdman had blustered, and the Hon.

whined thither, they hsd consented to
go at Inst. And there I had left the
detective nnd his prisoners, driving to

Yet I very nearly lost the diamond,

the robbery, nothing had been moved
from the dining room, passage or II
