An In vasion of "five-fingers" will sometimes destroy a whole bed of oysters In a single night.

In the early days, when Saxon forefathers had Just settled down In the country that was to be England, tt.e day of December 25, was given tip to giimes and feasting, but the night was dedicated to the special honor of mothers. They occupied the seats of honor, nd everyone brought them gifts. Sons snd daughters who had gone out Into the world strove to be at home on that one night In the year. A llttlt later the name Tula was given to Christmas, and the rejoic ings of the day were prolonged Into the night, when men sang and told lories sitting around the cheerful blane of the Yule log.

A strange experience and rather an unpleasant one happened while riding with a friend Just outside of Philadel phia. We were passing through a tun nel and Just when It was darkest my friend made a smacking noise with bis lips as though kissing someone, ti real ly shocked I cried out, "Oh, Roy, yoo mustn't do that I" Of course, every body thought he bad kissed me and L realizing what a blunder I had made by crying out, was blushing furiously when we emerged from tbe tunnel. If only I had kept still bow much better off I would have been. Tbe rest of the Journey, lasting about one hour, was most uncomfortable for me. Ex change. Ancient Swiss Cathedral.

Jackson's "Kitchen Cabinet" "Kitchen cabinet" was a nama spor tively glveo to Francis P. Blair, Amos Kendall and others, by the opponents of President Jackson's administration. Blair was the editor of the Globe, the organ of the president, and Kendall was one of tbe principal contributors to the paper. As It was necessary for Jackson to consult frequently with the iwo, in order to avoid observation they were accustomed, when they railed upon him, to go In by a back door. The Whig party ttyled them In deri sion the "kitchen cabinet," allealni It was npon their recommendations that tbe President removed so many Whigs from ofBc and put Democrats In their places. Elizabeth Was Kidnaped By MARTHA WILLIAMS to. ISii. by MuClure Newaynpar Syadlcul..) "Wonder what's up now? Something devilish, I bet four-pence-ha'-penny," Elizabeth muttered, shaking her list after the- car whirling past at top speed. The pair on the front seat were singing loudly a song unfit for decent hearing. Essex Toby and Rue! Crane, the singers, had a natural arhnity lor filth. Therefore, Elizabeth hated them soundly. She had perforce to see and hear them dally unless she chose to face starvation. Jobs were never plen tiful In Underbill and this special winter, with all manner of work at 6lack tide, there was not one to he had. She had no resources of money or vital force. There was still ten dol lars to pay upon her mother's funeral expenses. Once free of debt she did not let herself think further, but strode determinedly toward the tiny cottage, the only shelter she remembered. Her mother, silent and dour, had yet worn the look of being crushed. She had almost never told her daughter anything of the past. One Sunday when they had walked a far way and sat down amid grassy fields she had said reflectively, "I hate grass It took my husband from me. He was mad about it so mad he went away and never came back." "Didn't he tell you why:" Elizabeth had asked breathlessly. Her mother had laughed, a hard laugh, saying through shut teeth : "To make a lady of you. He left me the job of seeing you didn't starve. Don't thank me lor doing It. Better, a lot better, for both of us If I had gone under the third time when I tried the river." There had been nothing else. Only Elizabeth had found a faded envelope, bearing a law firm's stamp and ad dressed boldly, "Phillip Surtees, Esq." It had lain flat at the very bottom of her mother's battered trunk, which had yielded no other clew to what lay behind. She had called herself Mowry at the big steel mills, where she was among the obscurest and lowest paid of typists. She had worked well, but list lessly, as though aiming only to get through the day. When Elizabethat twelve had taken her place through a brief Illness she had begun to climb the ladder of mo notonous toll. She had climbed surely at eighteen, when her mother had died suddenly, she had made her place secure, earning twice what the elder woman had ever done. But there had been rent to pay, trifling to be sure. Her mother had lived rent free, because, the daughter was given to understand, she had been specially commended to Mr. Toby's kindness by a charitable friend. Elizabeth was not even handsome, yet had somehow a look of race that marked her worthy of young Toby's consideration. Grandson and heir ulti mate, he of course bulked big In all mill concerns, double as much as his chum, who represented the Crane In terests In the firm. Both had tried out Elizabeth after the manner of such gilded youth and been met with uncomprehenslon so blank It had badled and angered them. It was late April still a glimmer of daylight showed when Bhe opened her door and stooped to lift a letter from the floor It had been thrust In since she left that morning. As she stood turning It In her band a horn honked shrilly; there was the grinding sound of brakes, a babble of high-pitched voices then three young fellows came upon her In a rush, crying shrilly: "Caught you at last! Come on now be a good fellow for once I The lot of us are going down the river to the dandiest roadhouse with a floor like glass and oh, the dandiest things to eat. Wo want you, anyway but fact Is we're a girl shy one went back on the other fel- lows and they haven't our nerve so didn't try kidnaping." Think you can put It over?" Eliza beth asked coolly, though In deed she was cold with fear, All three had been drinking even without It they were reckless enough for anything. They cuugbt her arms, her hands she was half dragged, half lifted Into the car, which set off at once so madly It rocked from side to side of a smooth asphalt road. Toby was at the wheel with a fourth man beside him. Elizabeth sat be tween Crane and the unknown third. She did not struggle, did not speak her shrinking from contact with them sufficiently spoke her loathing. Except foe the shrinking, she was barely conscious of them. Her mind, her soul, revolved about the letter clutched so tight It was crushed out of sight. Somehow the sensed It meant salvation for her, else everlasting damnation. She knew what had brought It her own letter to the law firm, asking Information as to Phillip Surtees. WrltteD two months buck, this tardy reply teemed to prom' Ise something what the could not guess. As the car hailed In the madhouse lights she turned upon Ituel Crane, saying clearly: "I put you on honor, supposing yon have such a thing to see that I am taken home, unharmed.' "We're open to bribery. What's of. feredT Crane flung at her. She looked at him level-eyed, answering: The pleasure or my company dancing, flirting or ploying at fllrta Hun, Xou sutlM Think I dun't know It? Let me show you. Also on my word of honor, I will not try to escape nor make trouble over this outrage," a smile disarming her lust word. "Hurrah! Good sport, Elizabeth 1 Knew you just needed a bit of waking up to be a bit of all right," Kuel cried, his voice cracking in his excitement. "I am going to the dressing room to prettify," she. said. "All who like stand guard outside I shan't vanish, whatever else I may do." She stood in a locked bathroom, reading the letter it bewildered her beyond conscious planning. Phillip Surtees, by his attorneys, was telling her that he would go anywhere, do anything to find Elizabeth Mowry, for whom he had been hopelessly search ing years and years. She glanced at the letterhead a phone number was there. Cautiously she crept to the Instru ment, shut the door of its cell behind her and said guardedly but clearly to the person answering: "Tell Phillip Surtees and Attorney Norn to come with all speed to the Green Hedge, a roadhouse outside Milltown. Eliza beth Mowry Is there, prisoner, and in danger of worse than death." "Norn speaking, we'll be there," came back. She stood trembling so violently the receiver fell from her hand. But after a bit she took hold on herself and went calmly to meet her captors. She knew she was safe until after midnight ; whatever danger loomed was most imminent upon the homeward way. She had not faith In any of the young roughs; to revenge themselves for fancied slights they would stop at nothing. Yet she danced with them each In turn, laughed at their drunken witticisms, ate heartily of some few things, but drank nothing, not even water. Her head must be clear for what lay ahead. The place was crowded and riotous beyond words before the clock struck twelve. A big, booming clock, Its chimes like n requiem. Elizabeth shivered at the sound of tlieul. Would help come too late? The revel gave no sign of slacking, but Toby and Crane began to be glassy eyed and yawning. She danced deliriously with any partner that of fered. Anything to gain another Inch of time. Then came a peculiar sing ing whirr the shout of greeting was "Airplanes !" In the confusion Elizabeth managed to slip away, but not too'far to see a tall, wasted man, with a bright-faced younger one at his elbow, burst through. the rowdy throng, with a file of police at their heels. Then she fainted small blame to her. The tall man cried aloud: "I want Elizabeth Mowry, my daughter If harm has come to her all you who brought her here Bhall swing for It I" Then Attorney Norn spied her prone half way up the stair; he lifted her tenderly and said to the Infuriate father: "Come away, sir. She has only fainted. We must get her away without scandal." "What's that to you, you plnwheel?" Essex Toby blustered. Norn gnve hlra a look and said over his shoulder "Only tills she Is going to be my wife." LOOK FOR HISTORIC LIGHT Expedition of the National Geographlo Society May Solve Problems That Have Puzzled Scientists. An expedition of the National Geo graphic society will explore southwest ern China for early American history clues, says a Washington dispatch from the society's headquarters. Grains of corn garnered along the Thibet Burma frontier of China may be the botanical Rosetta Stone of the enrll est traces of America yet recorded. Just as a piece ot black basalt un locked the annals of hidden Egyptian centuries, so the corn kernels sought by this expedition may reveul clues of 100 per cent Americans before Columbus came or even before denl zens of Chnco Canyon's giant com- nninal apartment houses mysteriously disappeared. Indian corn, or maize, Is nf undoubt ed American origin, but Chinese rec ords show corn grown In China before Columbus' time. Marco Polo did not mention It, but then he also overlooked ten. Chinese records show that long before 1492 tribute corn was as accept able as the latter-day tribute silk. One tribute list contains the entry: "Of wheat called Mayz, twentle millions two hundred and tittle thousand hanegs," which was about 30,000,000 bushels. . The clue which the National Geo graphic society's expedition will work upon Is the waxy endosperm. The tis sue Inside American field corn contains starch, that of tweet corn, sugar. In a few places of China, Western Yun nan among them, this tissue Is found to be waxy. By noting the localities where It appears tbe investigators may be able to tell how It entered Cblnu. The corn quest Is but one of the missions of the exiiedltlon inlo little known Yunnan. Scientists will study the bark of the chestnut tree and ob serve the flora of one of the choicest flower garden spots In the world. The study of Chinese corn may ex tend the acreage of the United Stntes considerably.
