Bertram sat at the fragile bit of
furniture iti.u his landlady mid desig

write.
-Dear Bill
"So fur 1 haven't found life In the
big city so very exciting "
Then he stopped, luid down his pen
and listened Intently. Alter a full
minute ot acute listening, hearing
nothing, he resumed.
"I left the hotel and am living in
a boarding house. Of course no man
wants to live in a boarding bouse al

Again the fountain pen was laid
down and Bertram listened, looking
Intently at the wall in the direction
from whence the sounds came. The

go, to divert her at table, and In every
way try to take her mind frrnii her
great sorrow. And for some reason
or other Clara seemed to have uo ob
jection to being thus cheered by her
fellow boarder.
Then one night as he sat In his room
he heard the sobbing again. lie had
not heard it for a week, perhaps be
cause for every night for a week he
had taken Clara out to a piny, Hie
movies," a lecture, the art museum,
a walk In the park and once to dluucr
where they danced.
Following a long pause came more
sobs and then without warning a thud
that seemed to be Just beyond the
wall of Bertram's room. Bertram lis
tened a second and then quite clearly
came a cry of pain, and then silence.
In the minimum of time Bertram
was In the hall, found the next door
unlocked and had made his way Into
the room. There he found Clara sit
ting on her daybed rocking back and
forth nursing her right urm in the
bend of the left one.
"Ouch," she said with a pretty pout,
and then she Jumped up from the day
bed and offered Bertram a chair In
her little room. "You fell, didn't
you?" he asked.
"Yes," she snld. "I don't seem to
be able to learn the trick. Did you
ever do a stage faint? You have to be
perfectly limp and then you can go

Just then a succession of sobs deep
er and more poignant than the last
were heard and then a quick, really
startling thud. Bertram listened for
the cry or shriek that he thought
ought to follow this last sound of
trouble but none came, so he resumed
his brotherly letter.

looks pleasant and rather pretty that

"You darling," said Bertram taking
her into his arms. "I wanted to murry

Cop Retains His Job Though He May Be Rich
Hollywood, Cal. Everybody knows
policemen are skeptical, and Herbert
R. Reynolds, tratllc officer of Holly
wood, Is no exception. In the squadron
at the police station, fellow officers
recently crowded around and congrat
ulated him on falling heir to $000,000.
"Maybe yes and maybe no." Rey
nolds commented, leaving hurriedly
to take up his duty as directing traffic
officer at Hollywood's busiest corner.
According to Attorney Charles
Knudson, the money was left Ileynolda
by his father-in-law, Mungui Hrown,
In Philadelphia.

Reynolds and bis wife, the Bruwn

In that way drew from her the lnfor
matlon that It was now, and had been
for the past two years, occupied by
Miss Clara I'rlnger.

smiled the landlady. "Nice girl and

"She isn't unhappy " began Ber
tram. "Bless your heart, no," said the
landlady. "What would she huve to
be unhappy about? got a good job,
got her health, and doesn't give a
whoop for the men."
"Of course, of course," suld Ber
tram and went up to his room.
He had determined to forget all
about the sobbing and would perhaps
bave done so had It not disturbed his
peace of mind that evening. It was
very faint, very much subdued and
might not huve been audible to one
possessed of less acute sense of bear
ing than Bertram.
The next morning Bertram scrutl
niied Miss Clara I'rlnger rather closely.
True, he observed, she appeured to be
happy, but there were light shadows
under her gray eyes, a delicate turn
to her pretty lips that might betoken
sorrow. Certainly she looked a little
more weary, now, than she did when
he first came to the boarding house a
month before. Without quite meaning
to do so he asked her If she had been
at home the evening before, and she
said that she had. He asked her If
she Intended being at home that eve
ning, and she replied: "I haen t
planned anything," in such a way that
Bertram boldly asked her If she would
"go to the movies" with him.
The next night he sat In hla room
and the sobbing began : Listening
more Intently than ever, he heard be
tween the sobs a low, pathetic mono
tone of words. Now perfectly sure
that his neighbor must be absorbed In
some consuming grief Bertram felt
that U was almost his duty to take

Insulation From Milk
It la said that there has been de
vised a process for making Insulating
pieces out of milk curds. The curds
are stirred Into a paste with cold
water, and coloring matter Is added.
If so desired, the result being beated
to the boiling point. After the paste
has been boiled for ten minutes, con
tinued stirring reduces It to a uni
form pulpy consistency. This pulp is
then taken, while still hot, to a hy
draulic press fitted with hot molds of
the shape In which the Insulation
pieces are wanted. After being pressed
into this shape the pieces are cooled
and dipped Into formalin which adds
