She had a brother who sold goods on the road for a silk company. It was a sort of family failing to be a traveling salesman. If Theresa bad been a man she believed she, too, would have been carrying a bag from town to town dis playing samples of perfumery or chil dren's sweaters. "There's no rest for a drummer," her brother used to say to her. "All commercial hotels are alike and if you don't go to them you are off the beaten track. Even at noon while I am Jit neying across country it is to the reg ular traveling man's hotel that I must go to feed." This remark, for some reason which Theresa did not understand, had made an impression on her. Why could there not be an attractive sort of place where salesmen, going from town to town as they do nowadays In little touring cars, might stop and spend a restful hour or two and then go on their way, refreshed and ready for the giving out of all their energy to the men they were trying to Interest? The thought became almost an ob session until Theresa had actually vis ualized a place which she was calling In her mind, "Salesman's Best." 'But why not, Sis?" asked her brother when she told him of her idea rather timidly. "Why not what?" she asked. "Why not develop your business acumen? Make your vision come true and Join the two together have a res taurant and rest room on one of the thoroughfares of the Island and run it for the benefit of traveling salesmen going from one town to the other by automobile. It is a good idea." - "Do you really think so?" asked Theresa, her eyes glowing with the Joy of receiving encouragement from her brother. "I sure do," said the man. "It will be a little slow at first and It will take good management. But with your wonderful knack of making things comfortable and your gift of cooking you ought to have a future In this line." Theresa set out almost at once to find an available place on the main ar tery through Long Island. She went up and down this road looking at old houses and shops that might be close enough to the road to be conspicuous. She had never been in business, but her mother had promised to give her all the help she could and her brother was almost as enthusiastic as she was as the plans grew under their develop ment. "I've found It at last," she cried one night when she had been gone all day in the little car her brother had let her have. She told the family what it was, where it was located, Just what busi ness and financial conditions she must meet and, every turn, almost as if it were fate dove-tailing her movements for her, she met success. It was not many weeks until she was established In the old house on the Merrick road, behind an attrac tive sign which said "Salesman's Best." The big living room was dotted here and there with tables in an Informal way, and at each table there was a little shelf containing volumes that any man might pick yp for a few mo ments while he ate or rested. There was no Jazz; there was none of the noisy, hotel-like atmosphere about the Salesman's Rest. It was homelike; the food was good and there was a quiet, almost intangibly helpful air about the big living room. Business was slow at first, and there were many nights when Theresa had to look through cloud banks to see her vision. But always, Just when she most needed courage, a bit of blue would appear on her horizon. This time the light that pushed the clouds away appeared In the big, raw- boned person of T. M, Fox, drummer. He stood, hat in hand, bag beside him, In the doorway when Theresa came Into the big living room to mend the log fire that was burning low. It was damp and drizzly and she had tried to make the room seem warm and cheer ful In spite of her own depressed, dis couraged mood. ''Could I get lunch 7" asked the man, awkwardly. Theresa smiled and the big drummer became Instantly more ill at ease. He was accustomed to going to men's hotels where a clerk had promptly assigned him to a room or the dining room, as his needs might have been, The sight of this lovely young woman beside a blazing fire in comfortable homelike room was too much for him "You could certainly," said The resa. "Put down your bag and be at home. What would you like? I'll at tend to It when you warm yourself at the fire." un anything to eat," he stam mered. Theresa saw at once that he was from the south of the Mason and Dixon line and she knew that be would like fried chicken, corn bread and buttermilk. "How would fried chicken be with corn bread?" she asked. Theresa was as bashful as be was. She was not a Southern girl, and yet she knew what he, a man from that country, wanted. mmmmmjnaixziak t "That would be the very best," he said. Theresa arranged table near the fire, and soon had It ready for him. Meantime, a number of drummers had arrived, and, one by one, bad refreshed themselves and were waiting for some thing to eat. As she moved from table to table, cheerfully greeting the men she knew and courteously caring for the strangers at her table, Theresa was quite aware of the almost constant gaze of the big varnish salesman. 'I don't have to be at my next town until three o'clock," be explained as Theresa gave him the check for'what he had eaten. "Would it be all right If I stayed here? Driving In this driz zle's none too attractive," he said. But of course," exclaimed The resa, with another of her bewitching smiles, this time right into his funny, unsophisticated eyes; "that's why I call my place the Salesman's Best. So that you may rest until you need to go on. i Torn Fox sought the big couch in the corner, and found a book, over the top of which he watched Theresa when she was not looking. Then and there he decided (for he was that sort of a person) that every time that he could possibly find an excusf for be ing near Merrick on the Merrick road he would come to this place. It seemed to leave nothing to be desired in his day. He set out with a determination to make good customers of all the shop men in the towns within a radius of fifty miles of this place. For then, having constantly to attend to their needs In a business way, he would find ample reason for being so much in the vicinity. One, two, three times a week found him at Theresa's table. They began to get acquainted. He met her broth er. He found out how and why this lovely girl was running this" so-much- needed restaurant for him and his pro fesslnn. Theresa's brother liked him. Theresa Wkv.tl him. The autumn found the little rest so busy that Theresa had all she could do to take friendly care of her traveling salesmen. 'There's one thing I don't like about your success, Theresa," said the big drummer one evening at twilight when he had remained for suppj at the rest. "What's that, pray tell?" said The resa lightly, though she was trembling. She could see what was on the tip of her now acknowledged lover's tongue. "It takes you away from me. I never see you alone," he said earnest ly, and reaching for the hand that hung at. her side. "I'm alone now," she said. "Yes, and while I have you I'm go ing to tell you how I love you. I can not go on without finding out whether or not you could care for me, Theresa. Could you?" Theresa tried to turn away but he had taken her other hand and was al most forcing her to look at him. "Could you?" he persisted. She nodded. "I do anyway," she said. Fortunately no one came to the rest for a half hour during which time the lovers found out the wonderful pos sibilities of their lives together If they might go on doing good and living for others. 1 ! "We'll have a salesman's rest al ways, won't we?" she asked. He agreed.- "But you, dear, are mine all mine." Bangkok's Water Ceremony, Twice a year all the members of the royal family, as well as the military and civil officials Of Slam, gather in the principal temple in Bangkok for a water drinking ceremony. Each In turn presents himself before the king, mak ing a profound obeisunce, and fulling on his knees. He then drinks of water contained In a golden Jar, In which are soaked spear heuila and other instru ments of wur, and sprinkles It on his head. This custom Is a testimony of loyalty to the Siamese monarch, and of late years even foreign employees of the government have participated in the function. ' This Is the great oath day, and formerly the officials on tak ing the oath 'were pnhl six months' ad vance salary. Officials residing far from the capital gather at some central place where a representative of the king presents the Jar of holy water and the drinking and sprinkling and oath taking goes on. Degenerated. Fifty years ago meals were far more heavy than they are now one has only to read Dickens to realize this. Our grandfathers would have felt starved on the diet that most of us find sufficient But If we go back a few centuries we find appetites that seem amazing. Louis XIV of France, who had the reputation of being a very moderate trencherman, used to breakfast off four cutlets of whole chicken, four or five eggs, and some ham. The records of a dinner, given by Henry VIII show that each guest consumed nearly seven pounds of food. The fish course alone Included eels, salmon, pike, barbed (now considered rather unfit for food), mullet, land sturgeon. Hen Mothers Kittens. A ben In Wingham, Ont., took to clucking and setting In a manner with out eggs, while at the other end of the manger a cat was mothering some kit tens. When the kittens were shout two weeks old they wanted to play with the broody hen but she pecked and scolded them. However, the kit tens were persistent and It wasn't Icvg before they regularly found shelter at night beneath the hen's feathers. r. - WWWWW WSJWWWWe'Wwe' W WWW f T .
