"We'll do It again soon," he promised. '"Some day during the week, if you can set off a little early." Daphne smiled a little ruefully. "That part'll be easy, enough. I didn't tell you. I lost my Job." -You did?" "Yes, they didn't tell me why. I'm afraid I didn't work very well. It was so monotonous, and I'd get to thinking . . . about other things . .and not working." . . .There was a long pause, and then she added, angrily. "You would think I'd hate more sense!

It was on Tuesday that he suc ceeded In finding the old man In his office. "Look here, Mr. Greely, I know Just the girl for you." Old John Greely's sharp blue eyes twinkled through his thick thatch of gray eyebrows, so shag- ry and overhanging that he had to look through them as a Scotch terrier looks through his hair. Not interested," he grumbled, "too old to get married now . . seventy-eight coming December." "I mean a secretary," Ralph grinned. "Oh! Why didn't you say so? Secretary. Hmm. You're placing young girls in good positions? Kinda philanthropic hey?" "I'm serious, Mr. Greely." "Yes, young men are always serious on such subjects.

There was once a man who set oat to lift a new bora calf every day and then, he said, he would be able to lift it when it got to be. a cow! Of course this is a vain hope. Human experience teaches that a day will sorely come that, tug as he will, the man cannot lift the struggling calf off the ground. Perhaps ft is unreasonable to hope that a day will ever eome when the symptoms of old age will be overcome. There is no question, how ever, that old age can be postponed. It Is almost too late to make an attack en old age after it has actually arrived. We must begin in youths to so. govern our habits that we do not drop into the pitfalls that damage health.

The American delegation de elined to discuss the matter. From other sources it was learned also that the powers had agreed to re train from appointing a naval sab- committee to work on the prbolem in the light of the recent Ameri can proposals. The question of reduction of the fleets as a supplement to the Washington naval treaty will be adjourned at a date which will be left unfixed.

No matter bow others pleaded with him to hur ry he lagged in the rear. With him remained bis shadow, for you see It was impossible for him to do otherwise. A shadow must al ways remain with his master. Now the trouble arose in this manner. Flor, Hanid, Yam and Knarf the other little shadow- children were anything but lag gards. It bothered them to think that Mij had to stay so far behind them. "Come along," they would urge him. Then MiJ would try his utmost to catch up. But he could go only as fast as his master. He felt exactly like a dog that is tied to a leash. Isn't there any way that we can help him?" asked Yam. 'Sure there's a way," said Han- Id, "but what is it?" "Let's try to think of it." sug gested Flor. So they all thought and thought But the only thing they could think was how fine it would be if there were only some way in which Mij could manage to break but would presumably be exchang es of notes between the five na tions. These may possibly develop Into a meeting of experts from the United States, Great Britain, Ja pan. France and Italy.

"I wish I could." Sudenly Knarf, who hadn't said a word as yet. exclaimed: "I know how he can stay!" "How!" "Let's hold him." This seemed an excellent sug gestion. So Flor took one of Mij's hands, Hanid took another, while Yam and Knarf held him around the waist. "Now don't let go whatever hap pens, said Knarf. "Don't Lei Co!" They Cried.

It didn't turn out quite as Knarf said. In fact, it didn't turn out at all as. Knarf said. Instead of Jim keeping up with his sha dow, he lagged behind as much as before.

National Dish WHY potato salad is known as salad is a mystery, because n i, .a m . 11 s usually scrttu wiiiioui lettuce. But it's the ubiquitous American food. It appears on all tables occasionally, restaurants usually have it on hand, and no delicatessen or summer picnic could flourish without it. Potato salad should be kept at tractive in appearance whloh is not easy. If potatoes are over- cooked, or badly cut, the salad is likely to degenerate into a mushy and rather unappetising dish. For this reason the potatoes should be cooked only until tender, then the water drained off and cooking continued for a moment or so un til excess moisture has disappear, ed. Potatoes should be tender but dry. Cut carefully into half-inch cubes. If a French dressing is us ed, pour it over the potatoes while they are stil lhot. If a mayon naise or cream dressing is used, let the potatoes get cold before catting, and mix then. Any pota to salad is improved by the addi tion of other cold, cooked vegeta bles such as peas, carrots, string beans. Not beets these discolor the whole salad. Potato Salad, French Dressing 3 cups hot boiled potatoes, cut in cubes. 9 tablespoons oil. 3 tablespoons vinegar. 1 small onion chopped. 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. And what do you supposed hap pened to him? Just this; he stretched and stretched until . he was yards long. You have seen shadows your own, perhaps five times bigger than their mas ters and mistresses. That's how Hij became. Finally, when they all reached home, MiJ was so tremendously big that he couldn't possibly get into the house. So he had to stay with his head against the wall until his master came up and pushed him together again. 7 right. Alex.., at midnight HAVE. EVEPV- READW! BUT I ttbNT 9HOV. IT.
