"I thought I'd try my luck some place in the country and I've been rambling along looking for a place to light. Maybe I could get work on a farm. I've been wondering' where I could get a place: to stay a tew days. If you could take me in, I'd like" to stay, a few days to look around." Penfleld Paiadino twined his f inters together. -1 don't want any strangers here don't like them, j lie -Mid feebly.

I've kept a room furnished against the possi bility. My oldest brother went away after the Civil War but he never wrote back. Most likely he died years ago but I have lived in the hopes he might hare left a son somewhere . .to bear; the name and carry on the family blood. It's been damn lonesome for me here, sir." The old man had spoken slowly, had groped for his words, ; but when he found them, they had been uttered precisely. All at once Eddie Regan knew that he would find snelter under the roof-tree of old Penfield Para dine. Eddie Regan compressed his lips and -sought to fathom Pen-field Paradine. At one stroke he might provide for himself the best hid ing place and, immeasurably more alluring, he might remain in the vicinity of Marian Thorndike. The hands that Illy in Penfield Paradine's, lap began suddenly to twitch; his lips moved but no sound came from them. "I ;wonder if you could take me In far a boarder for a week or so?" Eddie said, and his youthful personality ' was Infinitely ingra tiating, j- "Tou're not well, and I could help this colored man look after jou.'j s . Slowly Penfield Paradine nod ded, found a fragment in his' voice. - 'You you can't come here as a boarder. If you stay it will be as a guest. My eyes are not as clear as they oncewere but you re mind me, somehow, of some of my folks. I used to know a boy who looked something like you 50 years ago. ?.Jr:fV'3 he was a cou sin.

There was something he could not help admiring about the old fellow and ne gave me nana Derore mm a warm clasp. "I take it, sir, that you are a gentleman," Paradine said. -. "I'll try to act like one, anyway, while I am in a place like this," Eddie grinned. The other's voice quavered. "No,- no, I don't 5 mean that. When I say gentleman I mean something, that's handed down from generation to generation. There's no better standard a man can Judge other men by." For a moment Eddie was tempt ed to claim a fictitious gentility to pretend a background of wealth and education. It might make things soft for him. Just for an instant he hesitated, and then he shook his head regretfully. "I am afraid you got me wrong, Mr. Paradine. There's nothing high-hat about me. I might as well tell you the troth. My name is Ed-i die Regan and my old man used to work on the docks in New York. My people never amounted to much, I guess. They didn't have any money .and they never were In politics. If I tried to tell you I was a gentleman I'd be kidding both of us. No, I'm just an ordin ary young fellow like, a million others in New York. He stopped abruptly with the realization that he had said enough. Penfifid Paradine looked at him with a penetrating expression. "Young man." he said carefully, "you didn't understand one right ly. When a man is a gentleman he has certain qualities in his blood and neither money nor education nor position nas augnt wun it. so far as I am concerned you seem to have the right kind of stamp on you and you're welcome to stay." Eddie was impressed; here was a view of life, a finely-gauged dis tinction, that he'd never before en countered. "Thank you sir." he said, and his throat was a bit husky. Old Paradine called to Tobe. "Tobe, this is Mr. Regan and he's going to visit with us. I want you to look after him. Now get out side and carry his bags to that front room upstairs." Embarrassment filled Eddie. He hadn't any bags he hadn't a thins of value on earth except a small roll of bills in his pocket. There was nothing to do but smile and face it .out. "I happened to leave New York In a hurry and didn't bring any thing with me. I've got some mon ey, though, and I figured to buy what . I need as soon as I got settled. I expect thatgrocery store up at the cross roads sells shirts and overalls " But old Paradine waved the apology aside. "Tobe'll run any errands you want at the store." "That's good. I'll send him out and let him buy a few things for me," Eddie said, trying to speak easily, his hands in his trouser pockets. "Here" he produced a banknote "take this, Tobe. 111 write you down a list of what I need later. Buy some groceries, too. n-.ybo you ain't prepared for rn ;';".

The old negro stood looking at him with a Queer expression in hid yellowish eyes. i raise some porit an aigs an' chickens. We got a garden. suh. We make out a'right." But he made no move to take the bill Eddie proffered. "Tobe and I do very well with what We raise on the place." Par adine said, In a strained voice. "Well, anyway, Tobe can take the money for the personal things I need," Eddie said, quietly. It was virtually necessary for him to force the $20 bill in the negro's hands. He smiled and turned to Paradine. "You have a pretty big place : t -3 a t . i. s litre, sir. uvo I tuui aujiuiui about farm work, hut if anvbodv ! could tip me off I'd take a whirl at ft. I've got two strong arms and I might turn out to be a regu lar farmer. "- "I suppose the place could be made to pay if one had the strength and interest to give it proper attention." Paradine said. "There used to be 3,000 acres in this plantation. I parted with it i in sections after the war. There, was no one left to work it. I have j now 40 acres left the rest be-j longs to colored folks ana me poor whites. Of course, a living can be made on the place an industrious man could do very well here." Suddenly Penfield Paradine stopped talking; he began strug gling for his breath. One band crawled upward toward hia heart. The negro's eyes grew glassy with apprehension and he began tug ging to lift the stricken man's shoulders. Together they carried Penefield Paradine upstairs to his great four poster bed, from which he never again arose. The responsibility for the care of the sick man seemed to fall completely upon Eddie, but it was the old neapo who did all the nec essary tasks. Eddie sat in a dil apidated rocker, on a hooked rug by the bedside and worried. Un accountably, he felt as though some near relative was fatally ill. The thin form on the bed held his attention with - fascinated in terest. Some imaginative streak in the youth, hitherto dormant, recognized in the worrr, patrician countenance the essence of a na ture highbred and delicate; a qua lity of personality that had been totally lacking in any of the gang sters in his old pals back in New York. Every member of the mob had been vicious, but in Penefield Paradine there was a different kind of courage. Eddie couldn't explain the difference; merely that he could feel It. "We ought to get a doctor here," Eddie muttered. At hia behest, old, Tobe manipu lated the country telephone down stairs with its unfamiliar system of turning a crank to get central and putting through a call on an POLLY AND HER PALS - , . -y . . .. 1 ' . .

(To be Continued Tomorrow.) COOD-NIGHT STORIES Bj Max .TreD a The Shadow-Children Join in the Hunt for Sam Weller, of "Pickwick Papers." Mij, Flor, Hanid, Yam and Knarf the five little shadow children with the turned about names were sitting on th edge of the bookshelf one evening after the real-children had gone to bed, when they were startled to hear a voice coming from the row of books. "Sam, Sam!" called the voice. "Where are you?" There was a pause. Then, as no answer came back, the voice call ed again: "Sam, do you hear me? Answer me yes or no!" "How can he answer you no if he doesn't hear you?" said Knarf, standing up and address ing a book entitled "Pickwick Papers," from which the -voice seemed to be coming.

He was neatlv i ed Sum Weller to come popping dressed, except that he was i his vest. "I beg your pardon," he said politely, but I thought I beard my man, Sam Weller, just now." "It was only Knarf," replied the other littler shadow-children. "Knarf!" he repeated in a puz zled way. "I'm afraid I've never heard of him." 'Humph!" said- Knarf. "I've never heard of you either." "Dear me, I thought everyone knew me. I'm Mr. Pickwick." "Oh. how do you fio, Mr. Pick wick?" exclaimed Mij, Flor. Han id and Yam, for they knew him: Knarfwho didn't like books, and especially books as drv as he sup posed "Pickwick Papers" to be, didn't know him at all. "I can't imagine what could have happened to Sam," said Mr. Pickwick, greatly worried. "I left him at the top of the page to brush my jacket. 'I'll have it ready for you in a moment, sir,' he said. 'Don't keep me watting,' I told him, 'because the chapter ends at the bottom of the page and I have to go to dinner at the beginning of the next.'

"He's the author," cried the other shadow. "Everybody knows him." Then they all started to look for Sam Weller. Mij looked under the bookshelf, Flor peered be hind the books, Hanid 'poked in among the heap of magazines at the end of the shelf and Yam squeezed herself between the cov ers of all the boSTcs she could read;.

The little shadow girl led them to the last para graph. There they found ja huge thumbprint. "I think he's nnder there!" she 6aid exeitedly. They all looked. It was very difficult to see anything as it was a very black thumb print. "But finally they saw Mr. Weller and) pulled him out. He was a sorry-looking sight, almost all black.

But it is also nevte ary t3 temper experiment with caution. Thre are times when an impulsive change may vastjy improve the dish you're pripaujr, tut al.4 it Happens tnat an apparently small fchan? violates a rule which) is ?nre to make a dish a dis.itee. j No one rale can cover all caiee, of courae. Still there are one! or two dependable ones that are worth clinging to. It's always safe enough to experiment with -Mayor changes. For you can nike a liftle preliminary test. Mix a ppoeriful and taste it and you can decider quickly whether your experiment is likely to he an improvement. Indeed, it's this sort of original work in th kitchen that gifes real interest to cooking. There's always a chance ti-a you may flit upon soma new and delightful blend of flavors nd, incident ally, there a rich r. v fi-ld hre for originality, jr. a W ile known ; art in many kitchens wfir cqm- j llH?ated and beautiful dishes are : common enough. U Experiment then. !n flavor com binations. Safa enough. But ex- i penmenting with directions is fan entirely dffferent . matter. Most cooking directions have evolved because of the experiment doneiby a great many persons teachers in domestic scieuce schools, scien tists in laboratories, culinirv specialists and cooking connois seurs. There's-a reason why, for example, when mixing a mayon naise dressing "you are advised to add vinegar, then the oil, drop by drop, to the yolk of egg and sea sonings. It sounds like a waste of time and the careie.is oxpt.rinient e rdumps the cupful of oil into the egg and acid mixture and heats diligently fo a minute or two. Then she's surprised that there's a thick fluid n the bowl, not a creamy mayonnaise. . Heat regulation is another pit fall. The recipp may specify that the roast leg jof lamb should he cooked In a moderate oven- after the first ten minutes of searing brown on both sides in extreme, heat. But perhaps the cook is in a hurry. She hasn't as much time as she; thought. Ergo, she'll roast the meat rapidly and she turns it on full tilt. The result is that the little leg of lamb gets nice and brown very quickly in the hot oven but it's not tender and it's not juicy. Long, slow cooking is needful to make the meat tender and keep the Juices within and up-to-date no other method for doing it has been discovered. New vegetables and new fruits are a large enough Held for any one who has a . real inclination toward kitchen experiment. Herbs, spices and flavorings provide an other most cooks are familiar with 6nly' ten or 20 of the hun dreds of seasonings. Bat unless you're fairly sure of success, ex perimenting with authentic cook ing directions Is risky.
