Disillusioned When He Found a Faded Model By MILDRED GOODRIDGE

1924. Western Newspaper Union.) « t w WARY looks old and worn,” said IVI John Strickland to his brother Ephraim. "Should think she would!" retorted Eph. "Say. John, this has been an Imposition—our family landing down on you this way." "Well, you're welcome, aren’t you?” demanded John. “Your wife has surely made It so—dear woman! She’s a prize, a jewel, but to harbor and work out her life for her husband's folks —no more of that! We’re going home tomorrow.” And that afternoon something crossgrained hit John —hard. He had just been noticing the tired but smiling face of his wife, when an automobile sped by. It contained a chauffeur and two others. The others were Sir. and Mrs. Alison. They were old residents of the town, but had left five years previous to live la the city. Now they were coming buck to the old Booth homestead. John stared. He had not seen Mrs. Alison for over five years. She had been his first flame. "Why, she looks as young—yes, younger than when I last suw her!” he was forced to ejaculate. Certainly, at a distance, Mrs. Alison was a vivid contrast to Mary Strickland. "I might have had her once. If I’d set out strong enough to win her," mused John. He was not tired of sweet, loyul Mary; he would not "trade" with Cy Alison If a basket full of diamonds was thrown into the bargain! Still, John was in Just that mood where the dull ends of home life looked more somber than usual. On the other hand, the sight of the bejeweled, brilliant-looking woman who had once held his affections quite dazzled him. John wandered down the street aimlessly, dreaming. “Oh, say. Mr. Strickland!” sangout a sudden voice. “Why, it's Nat, Isn’t It?" inquired John, always kindly and cordial In his greetings, and especially so with children. It was a child, a little fellow of about ten, a .cripple, wheeling himself across the walk towards John In his invalid chair, who accosted him. "See here," said little Nat. “I found this Just now.” He extended a sliver-netted purse, and John stared at It and awaited an explanation. "Where did you get It, Nat?” he Inquired. • "In the road. It was right after an auto went by." "Wh<»e?" "The Alisons’." "Oh. Indeed,” murmured John, and took the silver purse, placed It In his pocket and started down the street. John reached the rather Imposing home of the Alisons. He started and stared through an open window. A decidedly waspish voice had called out sharply: "Cy!" It was Mrs. Alison calling to her husband. She was plainly visible to John In the room beyond the window. John Strickland stepp<*d back quickly. Be conld not help but note Mrs. Alison standing before a mirror. Hs was startled, almost shocked. She removed the upper set of teeth that hud so reminded John of pearls. Then she removed some of her hair. The amazed John thought of acaree-crows. He was embarrassed: he was amazed. Cy came Into the room. "What d’ye want?” he Inquired cr<»ssiy. "That money I let yon hare. You didn't use only a small part of It." "I'd like to' carry a little once tn a while." growled Cy. "Oh. yea, to distribute among those worthless relatives of yours!" sneered the model Myra. “I’ll give them their walking patters If any of that cboap rubble show their faces about here. All you've got is what I've brought you. My money, dn you understand? Hand over the change of that tendollar bill.” Cy Alison groaned and compiled. Down the steps and homeward Iround bolted John Strickland disillusioned. "What I've escaped!" he exclaimed. "And I fancy Mary faded! Oh, I've been a wicked man! And see how that dear woman has treated my relatives !” “John." spoke Mary, as he entered the house, "your brother and hlu family are thinking of leaving us.” "Yen. Eph spoke of It today." answered John. "Don't let them. Ills wife la resting splendidly and another week will just put her on her feet." “Oh. you dear, loving, unselfish woman!” cried John, and actually picked up Mary in hla arms and kissed her a dozen times. And Mary blushed till her comely fn«e looked just us girlish an of yore, and with a smile of rare content John went out of the house, whistling a happy tune “I'd he ashamed lo tell her of my comparing her with that woman,” mused John softly to himself. "Why, Mary Is a pretty picture compared to that made-up scarecrow. I'm going to love her more than ever, and I'll never think she looka old and faded again!” Lmgth of Coait Linot The Atlantic coast line of the L'nited Bistro la 2,730 miles long.

According to the SearsRoebuck Agricultural Foundation the extra pound can be put on for from 5 to 7 cents, which Increases the value of each pound to the consumer by making the entire carcass more plump and attractive, so It commands a fancy price over lighter birds Heavy hens sell from sto 11 cents more than light hens. Its true all down the line—turkeys, ducks, capons, hens and young frys—the extra pound brings the extra dollar. Over a period of three years the New York market shows heavy fresh kllle<l milk-fed fowls or hens weighing 5 pounds or over to average from 4 to 11 cents higher per pound than the light fowls weighing 3 pounds. The five-year average for the month of September shows the heavy fowls to average 9 cents over the light weight, the margin broadening during October and November, reaching Its height In December, when the heavy fowls range to 11 cc-iita a pound over the light weights. The average weight of the ordinary fowl as It comes from the farm Is 3% to 1 pounds. The poultryman with the eye for business will add an extra pound or so and receive the top prices. The farmer Nvho takes thin, underfieshed poultry to market Is beating himself.
