"The Lord be praised," she chattered, "you're "till alive, min' yon?" r "About half," T. Peer grinned as fee mopped his saturated hat band.

"I heard somethin' about It, but it didn't bother me none." "I been afraid to go back tn the house all- day." Ma reported fearsomely, "it rattled the windows 'nd doors nd diahes 'nd "most scared me to death. I shouldaj of thought you'd felt it down there." "Tod can't jar The Journal. "T. Paer assured her, "If I felt! anything quiver-, m' I 'sposed it was the presses protesttn against some candidate's advertisement nd paid no attention to it" "Well.' Ma insisted, ("whether you felt it or not I did nd it was awf ul. "I don't think theyi was any earth quake, "T. Paer argued.

Ml SUr Compnj) PATRICIA HOLLING SHEA D ana her companion had their first dance of of the evening between the first and second courses of their dinner. The rich girl was having a good time. She liked new sensations. Although she l.sd been to many restaurants, she had never been to one of just this type. Harry For sy the was what is known as a man about town. When he learned from Patricia that she was unaccus tomed to what he called "gay Joints," he informed her that her education had been sadly neglected. "You swells, who only patronixe tony, i high-priced eating places, never really I see New York," he jdeclared. "I dare yen bo go to Sol Heyman's -with me." She went. As she reveled in novel experiences, she enjoyed this. Of course the had to, admit that some of the musi cal numbers were pretty bad, but one 'could always laugh at then- She did not-care for ..music, anyway.; land talked steadily I while an Italian (sang execrably the toreador's song from s "Carmen." She watched a Uttte dancer ;in bouffante drapery as she flung arms Fand legs wildly about But she and her Stscort chatted on steadily through the J performance. Then, when the musicians ! played some more jaiz. she and For ipvthe danced some more. It was after this number that Adelaide Brown came out upon the stage. "Oh. i Lord !" Forsythe groaned as the opening bars of Tosti's "Good-bye" wounded. "Why not give us a hymn tune and be done with it? If I ran a cabaret I would exclude all but Jass wouldn't youT "Yes. ,1 guess I would," his compaion replied. Her eyes were not on the platform on which the singer stood ready to be gin. Instead, Patricia was gazing at a couple at a Jtable not far from where t.he and Forsythe sat. Their flirting, or love-makinjr was too obvious to meet ,even with her approval, and she was no prude. , Ifa man must try to hold a girl's hand or put his arm about her, surely" he might wait until he was alone with ber! '!-. :i Yet she contlnuedMto watch the- con pie who offended her taste, rather than her jmnrals, until, her escort's exclamation "drew her attention to the music. "Oh I" she echoed Forsythe's- groan. "Tosti's "Good-bye' again ! I am tired to death of it! And what a voice!" The waiter, serving the third course. was at that moment standing between her and the orchestra. It was not until he moved away that her eyes rested .on the singer. Then she started violently. "What's up?" Harry demanded. "Can't you stand it? I say the little thins Is going to flunk:" "Oh, no she must not !" his com panion exclaimed. "Why I know her I i She is the little milliner. Oh poor kid 1" - For Adelaide Brown's voice was trem bling perilously. It was at this Juncture that she was sejsed with a terror lest she; break down. H was also at this juncture that her eyes fell on Patricia Holilngshead. And Patricia was smiling encouragement at her. She was also nodding her ap proval. '- Patricia was intensely selfish. But she was not unkind. Moreover, when' she "liked any one she wanted that person to 'appear well. She had seen Adelaide Brown this morning and had liked her; The girl must not fall and appear, ridic ulous to ail trie people who were either ignoring or listening superciliously to her attempts to sing. The rich girl smiled and nodded the encouragement she wished (o convey. The result was instantaneous, and Pa tricia knew it Her; vanity was gratified by the effect of heir action. J "Surely." her companion scoffed, "you rr .T.i Takm a 20 Pay Ltfm Policy With Urn UNITED ARTISANS as AATi&ajra BTuaixe .

"No," T. Paer admitted, "it was made to wear over in Morocco, wlfere the sun's hot. I'll tell you." he suggested brightly, "maybe it was Bob .Duncan takin' another fall oufn the Democratic party." "That might of been It," Ma conoeded "if it wasn't a real earthquake." "Of course." T. Paer remarked ambig uously, "it mighti of been Ike Patterson runnin' on his record." "Well," 1 Ma mused. "1- don't know whether that'd fought to Jar things enough to rattle the dishes or not." "If none of them's right, T. Paer said helplessly. "I got one more guess 'nd then I'm through." "What's that TT Ma ; asked curiously. "You've guessed about everything. It seems to me." ' "Maybe," Tv Paer said, though doubt fully, "it was caused by Congressman Hawley gettln' woke up down in the first district" i "That'd be enough to Jar things Quite a bit," Ma admitted, "but it don't sound very probable to me." I ain't It was prooaDie,-' x. aer answered, "but it might be possible, I guess." "Tbey's lots of things possible," Ma said, "even in politics, but not often im portant enough to shake a house." "Well then I guess it was just a milk truck passln' that got your goat." T. Paer chuckled: "Tou keep on lettin' things like that set you buffalooed and I'll have to hire a nurse for you." "From the way you Jeea talking the last half hour -It's you that needs one." Ma retorted. I ain't quite sure you're head's Just right." "I been feelin' kinds funny 'round the heart here lately, 'nd the stumick." T. Paer confessed, "but I ain't noticed nothin' botherfn' me in the attic." "Tou wouldn't," Ma smiled. "They ain't enough up there for you to notice it." "Maybe not," T. Paer answered easily, "but they's one advantage of havin' a vacant room in your turret" "Tou say so," Ma answered, "but I don't see it" "It don't make your feet so tired." T. Paer told her, "carryin 'round what you think you know." are not approving of that awful per formance !" : i , She checked him by a gesture. "Be ! etui." sue muttered. "Whew !' Harry Forsythe whistled un- i'i-r his breath when, having .given vent tc the last wailing, "Good-bye !" the singer retired. "She certainly did scalp that last high note, didn't she? And I be lieve it was ' because of your smile at her." "I know it was," Patricia said, de lightedly. "But for me she would have gone to pieces." "I am sure she would," Harry accused. "You have encouraged an outrage. What under the sun did you doii for?"' n "Because," Patricia exclaimed, "I know who the poor little thing is. She is a clerk in the millinery strop I went to only today. What brings her here I do not know. Her name is. Brown." "How Interesting !" Forsythe remarked, sarcastically. ' But Patricia was not to be snubbed by his sarcasm. "It is interesting," she declared. "For I happened to take tt fancy to her only I this morning. And 1 told her I would go regularly to that hat shop if she was to be there. She said she was. And now she is here." "Probably earning a little bit on the 1 side;" Harry opined. "Come on let's have this dance." Patricia agreed, yet wn-ie dancing she round time td wonder why the pretty lit tle milliner was trying to stng at Hey- mtn's cabaret. She had seemed like an I unspoiled creature, yet if she aspired to appear, in a place like this, what would I become of her? For, of course, she i could never make good with that poor tittle voice and that scared manner. Pa tricia resolved that she would go to jviaaame u unen soon and ask if Miss i Brown had left there. The rich girlold herself that she was tender-hearted. She was not honest i er.ough to. admit that she was thrilled! and flattered by the effect of her en- i couragement on insignificant Adelaide I Brown (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) President Remits Fine, of Portland Man in Fraud Case A fine of 1200, Imposed upon K. B. Mee.ker of Portland several months if o in the federal court for his participa tion In a scheme to defraud by mail the Portland branch of Montgomery Ward & I Co.. has been remitted by President 1 Harding, according to a pardon received Monday by United States Attorney Humphreys. Two other young men indicted with Meeker sent worthless checks to the firm in payment for merchandise which they knew the etoro did not carry. They also i knew it the policy of the firm not to re- I turn ie sender's checks, but to deposit it and ivturn a firm check. By this j scheme tlie two embezzled the firm out of a considerable aura. Meeker was an ! employe and friend of the two em- i besslers. He did not profit from the transaction, his part being to purposely I misplcs company records to assist his friends in carrying out their scheme. AU three pleaded guilty after being in dicted by the federal grand jury.
