MEET ME AT

Copyright, Th* Frank A. Munsry Company* By HELEN A. HOLDEN It was a perplexing question that Miles Leicester had to solve. He bad been over the ground from beginning to end many times, but could find no solution. He must meet Carl Ford. He was desperately anxious to get a part in Ford’s new play. Hut the successful dramatist, the favorite of fortune, the lion of the day was inaccessible. It seemed impossible to obtain an interview. Every means within his power Leicester had tried in vain. Glancing up, be was not surprised to find himself opposite the house in which Ford lived. With hts thoughts concentrated on the man. he had unconsciously followed their direction. He looked the house over from basement to roof, as if seeking some means of entrance, some weakness in its massive stone front. As he noticed the wide, hospitable-looking doorway, an idea came to him. He would beard the lion in his den. His request for an interview had been refused; he would try his chances without asking. “Mr. Ford is out, sir,” the butler replied to his casual Inquiry; “but if you will wait, he will return soon. Leicester was almost overcome with amazement. His wonder grew as the obseqious butler led him past obscure places where he might have expected to wait, and up the broad stairs to the second lloor. Here lie was ushered into what was evidently the musicroom. Having opened the piano and arranged some music, the butler requested him to make himself comfortable until Mr. Ford's return. "Of all the strange things this is the strangest!” mused Leicester. “I couldn't have been more welcome if I had been expected.” With this thought, like a flash of liaht it all became clear to the puzzled man. He had arrived just in the time when some invited guest was expected, and lu'd been received in his place. He must get away before (he mistake became known. The butler had carried off his hat and gloves; how was he to appear In the street without them. He tiptoed cautiously to the door. No one was In sight. He advanced to the stairway and peered down, but no hat or gloves were to be seen. Returning to the room he sat down to think it over. On the whole, why not stay? Here was his long-sought opportunity of meeting Carl Ford. He would explain how the chance had come to read Ford’s new play, and how the role of the young American had fascinated him. He would frankly confess his irresistible longing to create the part. He knew ho could do It. He had never before felt so sure about any chance of convincing the playwright. He could not help thinking that the sincerity of his admiration for the play, and the honesty of his ambition to play the part would carry conviction. Then his hopes fill as he reflected that he was in a very delicate position. He had entered the house under false pretenses, and would have to overcome a bad Impression at the start. He had absolutely no exc ise to offer; merely a personal request to make. Would Ford be Justly indignant, or would he over look the Intrusion, laught at thq mistake, and give Leicester his cbancej? Hix to one acain-'t it,” mused Leicester with an ur.em-y feeling. He went to tho window, and no'!red with relief that the front steps were low and easy to descend. Just then an autor drew up at the curb. Leicester knew, before the occupant steppi d out, that it wolud he Carl Ford. Tup die was cast. Escape was now Impossible. Whatever the putCome, the meeting could not now be avoided. Leicester wondered what sort of a visitor Ford had exp--ted. Evidently a pianist, for the piano hr.-l be< n opened in an obvious fashion, llu could • asily meet that requirement, lie sat down for a moment’s trial of the instrument; and as his hands wandered over the keys he forgot himself, and became, in fancy, the young American whose part he so much coveted. ‘‘Bravo, bravo!” a voice from the doorway interrupted him. Leicester tot up with an embarrassed laugh; but before he could think how to nogiu, Ford continued “I am Just going to take lime to shake hands before asking for more music.” "Let me first explain ” began Leicester. "But 1 insist on the music.” Ford was emphatic. If you don’t handle the music right, there is no use discussing the inaU o r." "I will gladly play for you, Mr. Ford, if you still wisb it after 1 P 11 you Unit I am no* ’’ Ford cut him short. "You must itndcrst.tad how much Magee on yum ability to play. It Is rn unusual th up, but the novelty ef the situation rather pi t.tses me. You can say all ;.ou want to afterward, but lirtt l n.u.it hear a little more music. Flay anything you c!ioo:e~— It really doe n't matter what.” As I. leer; < , obeyed tire c.ommr.r.ds of L.s hoti, he h .a to f- cl te,»•

agreed to let tee try to sos If I ranu >t do better with Hie property” •'But, Heloise " "If I tail, as 1 may, It wih come back into your hands. You agree, do you? Thank you very much.” She went to Birmingham, the wond rful new city of Alabama, and laid certain information and plans before a few influential gentlemen, who in due time sent their experts to examine the Warding properly and the country roundabout. The result was that Iron ore of excellent quality was found, and other valuable minerals. The rest? Well, she won out, she paid her uncle, and the others prospered along with her. George Wilcox went south early in September, and read the story of the "Southern Beauty Who Promises to be a Second Morgan” in a newspaper as he crossed the line of the Oarolinas. He laughed gayly at the idea, but deep in his heart was unspeakable joy. The train seemed slow. Hundreds of miles intervened between his car and Birmingham; so he hired a special train, and felt better. It did not take him long to find her, and when they were together he pulled out the sensational paper and showed her the headlines. "liyi't it the most frightful thing you ever saw?” she exclaimed. “It all depciv u ." [ le said. "If she joins our firm, is beautiful. If not, it is all the other adjectives. But,” he added, ‘T’ve .tailed long enough. You have paid all your debts and have something over. Now that they want to make a sensation out cf you, the easiest thing is to quietly become Mrs. Wilcox and slip over the ocean on a honeymoon; and by the time w. return it will all be over.” He said a good deal more, which she did not Interrupt. IV On the fourth day out, Heloise Wilcox came to her husband with a solemn face. "George,” she said, “something v. ms mo that you have not told ma i verything. I have benn candor itself to you, but I know you have a secret, and it haunts me.” "How do you know It?” "Because I find you smiling so much to yourself. It’s a fatal sign that a secret is within.” George tried to escape. He had ..worn to keep the secret all his life. He still struggled. Hut that face! That voice! He gradually gave way, and at last he told ail. The office she \ isited in Birmittcliam was a branch of their own establishment run under a different name, and when the proposition was received by telegraph he had sont the answer: "Buy it, if it costs a million.” ENEMIES OF THE BIRDS.

Result of Taming Rctins—Domestic Cats and Nestlings. In the northern states many of the protected birds are induced to build their nests In or uegr buildings, and they are fed and sometimes partially tamed. This is commendable, of course, but robins, for example, arc included in the list of game birds in some of the southern states, and efforts made to tame them here may result in their destruction on their southward flight In the autumn. Ac customed to frequent the homes of their northern friends, If they evince habits In the south, they arc cluu killed for Hie pot. In the course of time tho southern slates will protect these birds, but until this is done It would be well to remember the result of b-ciling birds near our homes Of course, the mere fact that they arc nut molested while in tho north caus> s many birds to neat round about houses, but if they must be fed. this should not be done near dwellings. There are few women- who view with calmni ■ the killing of hnrm1- s birds by cats. On tho other hand, there are few owners of eats who take any sii as to prevent the?!depredations. The taming of bird In places where cats are permitted to roam at will means certain death to a large majority of such birds, and to far as we I,now there is only one preventive, and that Is to remove the cat from Us field of activity. The theory that cats keep the country home free from rats and mho is pretty—or was before Foss pampered and overfi ll, became inonfond of the htat of the kitchen ratign or the sun than of her ‘radltional hunting fh Ids Now that the birds are encouraged to n< st tear by. almost within her rcaci., with a minimum of effort she varies her diet no* and then with a nestling and is content. To prevent hounds from hunting foxes we confine them uni 11 read to accompany ihcm. but we encourage song’ iills to nest near dwellings and r»t the same time permit err- of their worst enemies to carry them daily.—Forest and Stnam.

TO MAKE TUFTED CUSHlOflO. You will like tufted cushions much better than the ordiuary kind for your backless chair, or the little Russian chair in the hall. Whilu there are countless upholstering materials, the cretonnes are very nice for such cushions and they are clean looking too. Select a good grade of cretonne and make the cushion wider than the chair seat, because tufting will take up material in length and width. Of course the side piece Is one long strip, usually about four Inches wide and It can be made with a welt edge by first stitching the side piece to the top portion, allowing at least one inch for a seam. After the seam is made place a heavy cord around the edge and whip It In place; turn the goods and sew closely along the edge of the cord and you will have a rounded welt or cord edge on the outside edge, a good finish. The best filling, of course, is coarse hair used for upholstering work, though oud can get jute or moss at an upholsterer’s for the purpose. The low«r portion can be sewed on three sides of the cushion, and this sewing should all be done on the machine with the heaviest thread the needle will carry. To place the buttons it will be necessary to have upholsterer's needles; they can be purchased in different lengths suitable for stitch ing through a mattress of any depth. Place the central button first. Hun the needle from the bottom of the cushion to the top, slip on the cretonne button, thrust the needle closely to the thread and push it through the mattress; draw it as tightly as possible and tie. Next place a button above this one, leaving a space of about three inches, then place the next button to the right or left, then one below the central button, always working around the central one to keep it uniform.. A curved needle Is used to place buttons on the side, but this work is almost too difficult for an amateur. Having the buttons in place, the lower portion can be lined with a sofe material matching the cover. Small hassocks can be made in similar manner, only they are lined tilth oilcloth and the ears are sewed In when the material is stitched together and cord is used to hide seams. Interesting. American women have gone falsehair mad! They started with a switch added a rat, und finally puffs, not by twos and fours, but by the dozen. All of which has to do with dead Chinamen. Chinese coffins are being robbed by tbe hundreds of the. queues. A ton of Chinese hair, some of It from the head of docapita*ed bandits, has just arrived in New York on tho big freighter Wray Castle. Twentytwo more cases of pigtails arrived on the British steamer Seneca. Both consignments are direct from Chinese cemeteries. The hair is being made over into “rats,” puffs, curls and switches. There is a demand for all the Chlncne hair that is offered. The market price Is FO cents an ouuco, and is steadily advancing. Have Beautiful Teeth. If you wish to have pretty teeth | you must remember that after every < lime you eat you must clean your i teeth, and do It Immediately, as to lonvo particles of food about your J teeih is to Invite malignant bacteria.
