BLACK EYED SUSAN
By NELL ADAIR.
li-uio uyni. la.u, wealyrn .Newspaper linou.)
As llodney looked down at his sif
ter's friend, she reminded liim some
Wiiy, of certain yellow fringed llowers
lie had picked in his boyhood. Her
dark eyes glancing shyly beneath a
fringe of golden hair, reminded him
of the llowers, too. Also, there was
a certain freshness about the girl
that made one, think of country fields
and simplicity.
."Introduce her to the boys, Rod,"
-.t begged, "and back her up if she
-'.is overwhelmed. 1 want her tn
ive one grand time." Hod frowned
now over the dilliculty of his charge.
Since Gwendolen had introduced him,
the girl appeared possessed of a pain
ful shyness in his company while his
merriest conversation, drew from her
mere monosyllables.
Tonight the rest of the fellows were
coming for one of Gwen's week-end
parties, and he hoped that Susan
might not prove as ditlicult in their
companionship, as she hud in his. And
as lie frowned down upon her, Susan
glanced up with one of her unexpect
ed smiles a smile that made her real
ly pretty, Rod thought.
"I wish," she said wistfully, "that
Gwen would not try to make me have
a good time. I wish that while the
others are dancing and all Hint, Gwen
would just leave me to myself. 1
don't want people to be made to dance
with me, or take me to supper, or do
: wvthlng they don't care to do."
'.odney's frown gave place to a ten-
little smile. So this was the rea
son of Susan's silence and diffidence.
She was not popular as other girls
were. "Probably," so I!od thought
compassionately, "whe has had no op
portunity to mix In young society, the
society of young men especially. And
she feels her disadvantage." The tel
ephone called before he could frame a
suitable reply, and he hastened to an
swer.' It was one of the fellows speak
ing for the rest they had arrived.
"Same crowd of girls out with us
as usual," Bill Town said. There was
vague disappointment in his tone.
Then Rod had his inspiration. To
this young crowd, who since school
days had gone about to the same af
fairs together, a new face was ever
an innovation, an Incentive to inter
est. A certain popular girl whom Gwen
brought home last year, had been, as
she glowingly told her friends upon
her return, "just gloriously rushed to
death."
If Rod could now convey the same
Idea of Susan's popularity, he knew
that she mJrt have no lack of Invita
tions. Gwen wanted Susan to have
"one grand time." Well, he'd try
for It.
"Gwen has nnother friend visiting
h.er." he told Rill Town, "regular Muck
eyed Susan. There will be some com
petition among you boys I guess!
And put your best manners on little
Susnn's mighty particular."
"That ought to start things," Rod ru
minated, as lie made Ids way back to
tlie veranda with a word of comfort
for the girl whose wistful voice still
echoed in his ears. It did start things.
Owen's friend, sitting poised as though
ready for flight on the edge of a chair,
was Immediately surrounded that eve
ning by an eager circle of good look.
Ing young men, whom Rodney and
his sister had conscientiously In turn
brought to be presented. Susan gaz
ing at first resolutely down at the yel
low ruffle of !ier muslin dress, raised
lier black eyes at lust bravely, then with
Meeting glances she viewed her ("na

supper, while Cameron West Impa
tiently awaited a promised promenade
with her on the wide veranda.
"What Is it about Hint girl that's so
faking." he asked Rod wonderlnglv.

SINGER IS DEPORTED
Boy Stowaway Has Wonderful
Singing Voice.
Sweet Tenor of Erin Enchants Ellis
Islanders, but U. S. Sends
Him Back.
New York. Francis O'P.rien, a
young stripling famous on Kllis island
as a stowaway and as a tenor of prom
ise, who is on the high seas on his re
turn voyage to Ireland, is a living proof
that a birth certificate may sometimes
prove an essential document in the
pursuit of a career as a singer.
Were it not for his lack of such a
document as proof of his contention
that he was born in Philadelphia and
that his parents took him to Ireland
when he was four years old, young
O'Brien might now be winning the
hearts of American music lovers as
did John McCormack, the emulation of
whose career led the- lad to secrete
himself on an American-bound vessel
some three weeks ago.
Instead, immigration officials, who
have only cold, legal instructions to
guide them in making decisions, saw
fit to place him on an outgoing ship
and let him try to establish the essen
tial facts coneernlmr his hirth nfter
his return. O'Brien, however, despaired
of being able to prove much about his
origin, because his father and mother
are both dead, and he has no relatives
in Ireland.
The young tenor's fame as a singer
probably would never have started
to spread had it not been for a slight
illness contracted on Ellis island, caus
ing him to be placed In the hospital
for treatment. The nurses there be
came enchanted with his singing, and
before he was deported he was giving
concerts for Jhe other inmates of the
hospital as well as for the inhabitants
of the Island generally. As a result,
O'Brien's name today Is on the lips
of all Ellis Island. The 'hospital at
tendants were calling" his name with
tender eulogy and expressing extreme
sorrow that he had to go back.
O'Brien is only one of hundreds of
such cases that are sent back to their
original place of embarkation every
month.
New York. A captive park bear has
the right to claw any one who conies
within its range, under n ruling of the
appellate division of the New York
supreme court. Tlie court denied
Blanche Guzzl, thirteen years old,
damages sought in a suit against the
New Y'ork Zoological society, which
controls the Bronx zoo. It held she
took her chances In pursuing a rolling
ball too close to the bear's cage and
that the resultant clawing could not
be held against the zoo management.

of this city. When the price of hog
bristles rose in China, the company
started bringing its shipments din
to Portland instead of through Puget
Sound and found that the freight cost
saved just balanced the rise in the
price of bristles. So the price of
brushes was not affected.

A woman who was too economical
to .subscribe for her home paper sent
her little son to borrow the copy tak
en by her neighbor. In his- haste tho
boy ran over a four dolar stand of
bees and in ten minutes looked like a
warty Summer squash. His cries
readied his father.who ran to hisas-sis-tance,
and failing to notice a barb
ed wire fence, ran into it breaking it
down, cutting a handful of flesh from,
his anatomy and ruining a five dollar
pair or pants. The old cow took ad
vantage of the gap in the fence and
got into thecornfield and killed her
self eating corn. Hearing the racket,
the mother ran, upset a four gallon
churn of rich cream into a basket of
kittens, drowning the whole litter.
In. her hurry she dropped and broke,
past all hope of mending, a twenty
five dollar set of false teeth. The
baby, left alone, crawled through tha
spilled cream and into the parlor,
ruining a twenty dollar carpet. Dur
ing the excitement the eldest daught
er ran away with the hired man, thn
dog broke up eleven setting hens and
the calves got out and chewed the,
tails off of four fine shirts.
And all to save fifty cents'.
