THE HIRED MAN
By VINCENT G. PERRY.
A FAIR EXCHANGE
By DOROTHY D. MUIR.
ONE GOOD THING FROM WAR
Cocone Nut, Hitherto Considered Only
at Nuisance, Has Been Made Arti
cle of Commerce.
The labor problem was a Kenous
one. Blanche Drennan was willing to
admit It. For over a week nhe hud
been trying to obtain help for lier
father's farm but without success. A
ten-acre truck farm did not require
more than one man's attention, but It
might Just as well have required ten.
Blanche did not waut to have to wire
her father to return from the rest the
doctor had ordered him to take. He
thought the farm was being well
taken care of. How was ha to know
that the man he had left In charge
had gone away without even giving
Blunche notice? She had managed to
keep things from going to pieces for a
week, but her strength would not hold
out, she knew. A girl fresh from col
lege couldn't rough It like an ordinary
country girl. The farm was a hobby
of her father's more than anything
else. Just the same, the country
needed all the food the land could
produce that year, and Blanche wasn't
going to let It go to waste Just be
cause her living did not depend
upon It.
The drive from the city had given
her an appetite. A sudden craving
for hot biscuits took possession of
her.
"Now, If there was only someone
to help me eat them," she murmured,
regretfully, as she viewed the fin
ished products, set out In a row.
"Whew, those smell good!"
Blanche turned quickly. There
stood a young man Inhaling the nroma
of the cooking. An applicant to her
advertisement she know it the min
ute her eyes lighted upon him, and
hastened to corral him. A plan hud
suggested Itself to her.
"Come right In," she Invited, as she
throw open I lie screen door tlmt sep
tupled them. "You are Just In tlmi:
for supper."
The young man was arrayed In n
linen duster from head to foot and
was dust lies; red, but Blanche
didn't mind thai. He looked strong
and able to work; thai Is what collid
ed with her.
"II won't take me a minute to
poach a fresh ('.';: for .von. and (he
tea Is brewing now." The man was
loo surprised to speak. Blanche wall
eil lltilil he 'inislicd the meal before
she ineiilloned the farm.
"Aren't yon glad you came to an
swer niv iidverllsemeiil V" she said.
"You'll really like It hero, and the
work Is light. It Is merely gardening,
you know. Kvcn'n city man could do
that. The meals you will like, I am
sure. They will all be as nice as this i
one many of them nicer. This was !
a nice meal, wasn't it'"
"II certainly was," be answered en- j
Ihiishisllcally. That was all the ac- ,
cephuicc Blanche required. j
II look Inn weeks lo gel the little
farm back Inlo lis original slmpe. For j
a day or two I he new Ulan, who gave
bis inline as Clifford Towers, was
rather awkward at the work, but It
did ii"l lal.c Mm long lo grow lulo Hie
w 11 j of II.
If you can llud a w I In that gar-
d r a spot lli.il loisn'1 either I n
honl over, or hilled up. I'll work with
out wages," Clifford said as he came
In for supper two weeks from llui
day he had nrriveil.
"It's .lu-t line." Blanche told him,
gratefully. "I bcllee I eonlil let yi.il
have a h illdny."
"I don't Haul mie," he laughed. "1
woiildn'l miss 01 f oiir meals for

tin- hired in, in. do oii?"
"As if t Iim I would innl.e any duler

full. "We "HI 1.0 Jun a" ooii a

It was ii pretty miry, nud they

It hus newer been quite decided
whether Boh was wakeful thafnigbi
or whether the burglar, being an in
experienced burglar, made too much
noise, but everybody does agree that
though the burglary, itself, was un
successful, the nfTalr turned out In a
way that pleased all concerned, and,
much better, to be sure, than bud
been expected. The whole thing be
gan when Bob awoke with an awful
start to discover that there was sure
ly a burglur In his apartment. Now
Bob, having his own Ideas on the
management of burglars, soon had his
very bright, hitherto unused, and, he
feared, unloaded revolver, cocked be
fore him, and stood ready to draw the
curtains separating his room from the
small living room adjoining It.
"Glad you seem to lie enjoying your
self." This from Bob, as he stood,
rather dramatically, between the
drawn portieres, the revolver leveled
at the Intruder.
"Oh !" A very startled and almost
feminine exclamation from the bur
glar. "Ah!" A very admiring' and ex
tremely amazed exclumation from
Bob, as the burglar, or perhaps we1
should say burgluress, faced him. Bob
knew how to munuge some species of
burglar, or thought he did, but this
particular specimen baffled him.
"Please, I'm sorry!" She raised a
pathetic face to his an extremely
pretty face, with very largo brown
eyes, and very red lips. For a mo
ment the lips trembled and strange to
say it seemed as though she was
struggling to suppress laughter rather
than tears.
"Hysterical," concluded Bob, though
It was hard to explain the odd twinkle
which he felt sure he could delect in
her eyes.
"Please don't send for the police,"
she said.
"(Hi, don't explain. I think I tin
dersland you wore poor and discour
aged, and tempted."
"Yes! that was the reason. I 1 ,
was so poor and tired. But now will j
you let me go'.'" ;
"Of course, In a moment, hut won't -you
let me be of iissl-aance lo you 7" j
Ho disappeared inlo his room, and
when lie returned held oul lo her a
bill of as liir:'i' a ill-nominal Ion as ho '
hud roll h. ' could ail'ord.

Before the war the cocone, which
grows freely In the Southern Ameri
cas, on large trees of the palm fam
ily, was literally such a hard nut to
crack that Its vegetable oil hud no
place In commerce, and the tree was,
known chiefly as a botheration to
banana planters when they wished to
enlarge their plantations. Eighteen
hundred pounds' pressure Is required
to crack the cocone nut, and there wn
no machinery for doing It. Then gov
ernment experts said that nothing else
in the world would provide such good
carbon for gas masks as the cocone
nut, and the United States financed
the creation of machinery for crack
ing It, thus starting a new and im
portant Industry. Hereafter It will
he well worth while breaking the shells
for the vegetable oil Inside them, val
uable for cooking, lighting, and the
making of nut butter; and the shells,
hnpplly no longer needed for masks,
can be used as fuel or In the manufac
ture of gns. And so, out of an effort
to prevent the expansion of autocracy
by conquest, the Southern Americas
find opportunity to expand by com
merce. Scientific American.
