Slippery Fog
Br DORA MOLLAN
' .1. II it
(©. 1918. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
If you had been unceremoniously
hurtled out of a beloved city and de
posited In a furnished seashore cot
tage, left In a most disreputably un
tidy condition by It* previous occu
pants; If for the first three days af
ter your arrival It had fogged so per
sistently, insistently and consistent
ly that the windows might as well
have been blank walls; If you had
nothing more Interesting to read than
a month before last's magazine, and
nothing more Inspiring to look at than
a framed print of a Gargantuan mos
quito biting the elephantine leg of an
amazingly corpulent lady; if at Inter
vals of 30 seconds the damp silence
was broken by the dismal, prolonged
wall of a fog siren; and If, to top It
all, your but-just-returned and be
loved soldier-husband—to whose re
cently acquired passion for the open
all these present miseries could be
traced—had departed on a business
trip which to you did not seem to be
the least bit necessary, would you,
or would you not, provided you are
a young married woman, have done
what Sally Anne did, I wonder?
When the time set by Jerry for his
return came and passed without a
word; after Sally Anne had opened
the door at least 20 times, peering In
to the Impenetrable wall of fog In
vain, each time turning back to a
more resentful contemplation of the
fat lady’s plump member, she plunged
The Fog-Muffled Sounds of Music.
suddenly from the Immaculate heights
of a lifetime of the utmost correct
ness down Into the depth of—attend
ing, alone and unchnperoned, a pub
lic dance!
Fleeing desperately from her bore
dom, Sally Anne felt her way to the
end of the little beach street and
there took a trolley for a mile or so
to a mammoth pavilion she had noted
on the day of her arrival, where a
great sign read, “Dancing Every
Evening."
A long flight of steps led toward
circles of blurred light, from beyond
which came the fog-muffled sounds of
music. Halfway up a ticket booth
challenged. The tone of the man be
hind the grating was firm: “No
ladles without escorts admitted.”
A long arm reached over Sally
Anne’s shoulder, a bill was thrust
through the opening. A deep voice
said “Two.” A hand grasped her el
bow lightly and the same voice re
marked pleasantly, “I’m so glad you
came. Hurry and we can make this
waits."
Sally Anne loved to dance—and
could. So could her partner, as she
soon discovered. He was taller, much,
but ! the creeping mist which sifted
In at doorways and windows and
through which the half hundred
couples circled weirdly, It was diffi
cult to get a clear Impression of his
features. That the tall man was a
courteous gentleman was self-evident;
the floor and the music were good.
Aside from a few tweaks of con
science Just at first, Sally Anne thor
oughly enjoyed the evening. They
danced much, sat out and talked
some. The strange man, without giv
ing a ghost of a hint as to his Identi
ty, mentioned his services overseas.
He told some amusing experiences,
Incidentally referring to his top ser
geant and often to his first lieuten
ant. but never calling them by name.
A couple nearby spoke of the hour,
which was late. Hurriedly Sally Anne
started up. saying she must go at
once, suddenly a full realization of
what she had done came to her. Her
escort walked silently down the steps
beside her. At the bottom Sally Anne
suggested nervously that he leave her
there; she could get home safely. The
tall man whistled sharply; a cdupe
let appeared out of the mist. “Take
the lady to the address she gives you.
Henry," he ordered. Then he assist
ed Sally Into the car, thanked her for
a vary pleasant evening, lifted his hat
and closed the door.
The next morning dawned bright
and sunny. To Sally Anne the fog
and her dereliction of the night be
fore seemed a dream. She preferred
to think of them as such. But she
couldn't help pondering a little as to
who the tall man might be. He hnd
not appeared to be any more familiar
: with the place than herself.
Jerry’s cheerful signal whistle from
down the street Interrupted these
thoughts before Sally had decided
Just how and when to “’fess up” to her
escapade. Of course she would do
It sooner or later; she had never kept
anything from Jerry yet, and she
wasn’t going to begin now.
Almost before the first hug and kiss
j were over Jerry sprung the news,
i His beloved captain was spending the
| summer nearby. It seemed they had
i Just met at the station. "Blake’s wife
Isn’t here yet,” Jerry explained; “she
stayed in town to go to some social
I hlgh-Jlnks—thought she was going to
have a fine chance to show him off.
Blake hates that sort of thing, so he
skipped. They had some sort of tiff,
I Imagine. Guess that, or the fog or
something got the old boy’s goat, be
j cause he told me about going up to
that big public dance ball last night.
Picked up some fair mystery and
danced with her all evening—said she
wore a wedding ring and didn’t act as 1
though she were used to being out
alone. That sort of thing Isn’t In
Blake’s line usually.”
Sally Anne thanked her lucky stars
that Jerry couldn't see her face. She
, didn’t reply. “How would you like
, It if I did a thing like that?” Jerry
asked. “ ~ 1 —
“How would you like It If I did?"
counter-questioned Sally.
“That's a proposition I refuse to
consider because It’s inconceivable,”
replied Jerry In a voice he seldom
used. “By the way, dear, I asked
Captain Blake to lunch tomorrow—
Is It all right?”
“Is he a tall, dark man with a deep
voice, Jerry T Sally Anne’s head was
pressed close to her husband’s coat
lapel.
“Why, yes,” answered Jerry puz
zled.
"Then I think, Jerry, it's up to you
to decide whether you want him or
not.”
“I don’t quite get you, Sally.” Jer
ry tried to lift the little head from
his shoulder but didn’t succeed. “I
want you to like my captain; he’s a
mighty fine man.”
“I do,” half laughed, half cried Sal
ly. “Oh. Jerry, you haven’t an Idea
how lonesome I was here without
you—In that awful fog. And then
when you didn’t come last night I
thought you didn’t care, and It seemed
as though I should go mad without
some one to talk to. And, Jerry, he
talked a lot about his first lieutenant
—and that’s you though, though I
j didn’t suspect It at the time; so it
wasn’t so horribly, awfully, Impos
sibly, unpardonably wicked, was It?
And he danced wonderfully, Jerry—
and I love It so— and you never take
me."
! Sally! Are you trying to tell m«
that you were Blake’s fair unknown?"
j “Yes,” replied Sally Anne, bravely,
“Can you forgive me, Jerry—this first
and last time?”
“There’s no room In my heart for
blame, dear; It’s too full of thankful
ness that It was Blake's hands you
fell Into. If some bounder had Insult
ed you! But It would have been my
fault for bringing you here and then
leaving you as I did. Quess 1 sort of
forgot you weren’t a soldier. Guess
I need some reconstructing, dear, as
a husband.”
“But how about having Captain
Blake here, Jerry?"
“Sure we’ll have him. Blake's a
mfin—a big man. His kind would un
derstand. He'll know you Just slipped
bn the fog.”
Plants Hava Eyea.
Most people are aware that potatoes
have eyes, but how many know that
certain common garden and wild flow
ers are similarly equipped?
The nasturtium, begonia, clover,
woodsorrel and bluebell, among others,
have eyes placed on their leaves. They
are tiny protuberances, filled with a
transparent, gummy mixture, which
focuses the rays of light upon a sensi
tive patch of tissue behind them.
A nasturtium plant has thousands of
such “eyes” on Its leaves, but it is not
yet known If the plant can actually see.
Are the sense Impressions telegraphed
to some central nerve corresponding
with the brain of the animal kingdom?
In addition to this visual organ,
many plants show a sensitiveness that
points to further resemblance to ani
mals ; while certain seaweeds and
mosses in an early stage of their ex
istence are able actually to swim
through the water.
A Spinning Top.
A spinning top Is kept from falling
because of the speed with which It
revolves. The attraction of gravita
tion Is temporarily overcome by the
centrifugal force ‘ produced by the ro
tation of the top when It Is spun. Each
part of the top Is subject to the
same centrifugal force as each other
part at the same distance from the
axis of rotation and to no greater
force, so that there Is no cause for
the top being pulled In any particu
lar direction by the force of gravity.
As soon as the centrifugal force
begins to lessen because of lessening
speed of rotation the attraction of
gravity begins to be exerted again and
the top begins to wabble. When the
spinning motion diminishes to such an
extent that the attraction of gravity
becomes greater than the centrifugal
force the top falls to one side.
UNSPOILED TRIBES OF AFRICA
English Traveler Pays High Tribute to
Morals and Behavior of Negroes
Whom He Met
Summing up seven years of travel In
the interior of Africa, where the na
tives are “uncorrupted by alcohol,
European morals, and the love of gain
Blther by fair means or fraud," an
Englishman, Mr. B. Torday, speaks
very well Indeed of the African negro,
[n two crossings of the Congo Free
Btate he met no tribe that “was not
naturally good-tempered, and, In most
Instances, hospltabl# and trustful,"
Customs of course are different In a
land where one may know the tribe
to which a man belongs by the design
that has been painfully embossed on
his skin. The traveler tells of tribes
where all the women who would be in
the fashion paint themselves red from
top to toe, and are so fond of the color
that If a gift Is given them they Im
mediately paint It red also. Cannibals
he met, and people who live In houses
the door of which looks like a window,
and others, remote from the Inventions
of civilization, who transmit compli
cated messages over long distances by
signals on a wooden gong. Odd human
beings, as the rest of ns hear of them;
but the traveler left them with regret,
looking down from his steamer on the
crowd gathered when he was leaving
the Congo, “among whom there was
not one who was not my friend.”
“Deke” was his name among the na
tives, and as he steamed away, there
stood his “dear black friends, waving
their hands, cloth, branches, and any
thing that came to hand, and shouting
la the native tongue, 'Good-by, Deke;
don’t foreet us.”’

IS AIRMEN'S PATRON SAINT
Michael, With His Wing* and Spear,
Is Peculiarly Qualified for That
High Position.
It was the wing of St. Mtehael, chief
of the archangels and head of the ce
lestial militia, which Jeanne d’Arc
heard, they say, whirring about her In
the little garden of Domremy when she
had her softly spoken but Insistent call
to arms. And now, as if It were not
enough to be the one who called
Jeanne d’Arc from Domremy to Rou
en, St Michael Is also the patron
saint of aviators, because he heada ce
lestial warriors and battles in the
air.
In a London church on Spanish
place—the church to which King Al
fonso went when he wsb there—
there Is a new stained window with
an airplane mosaicked Into Its design,
and that window Is dedicated to St
Michael, patron saint of airmen.
St George met his dragon on the
earth, but St. Michael battled with the
devil and his angels In the celestial
spaces and threw them out of heaven.
With his wings and his spear he was
the great prototype of the armored air
plane, and It may be that even the in
spiring Jeanne d’Arc did not satisfy
him and that he has always kept In
his mind this time when men should
fly and light as hs did.—New York Eve

When Laurence Oolby’s spinster
aunt announced to him that she had
made up her mind to apportion to him
the part of her estate she bad Intend
ed to leave him by will, he whistled
volubly In his natural Impetuous style.
"You have shown yourself to be a
sincere and contented young man, and
I shan't keep you waiting for dead
man's shoes,” she observed definitely.
"I certainly never made any calcu
lations on yours,” declared Laurence.
“What’s more, I'm perfectly satisfied
and happy with my present lot Tm
earning a living, everybody seems to
like me, I like everybody.”
“Well, my lawyer will tell you what
I have done for you, and I am glad I
have done It”
The first thing Laurence thought of
after he found himself Independent
and rich was to take a vacation. The
first person he planned on visiting was
Dudley Vernon.
“I've a pretty warm spot In my heart
for dear old Dud,” he told hlrnsdf. "He
helped me to get through college; be
saved my life once."
So Laurence went down to Westport
and became a guest at the bouse of
Dudley’s widowed sister, with whom
Dudley lived
A few days after he had arrived at
Westport, Laurence got Mrs. Alston
alone and sat down for a confidential
A Joyous
Helper
By GENEVIEVE ULMAR
“I am worried nearly to death about
Dudley,” be said, “he la so changed.
Won't you relieve my mind and put me
In the way of helping him?"
“Dudley has been that way since he
returned from a month’s stay at
Adrian," said Mrs. Alston. “I will tell
you all I know. It doesn’t come from
him, but from an accidental discovery
I made. Dudley seems to have fallen
In love with a young lady during his
vacation. I do not know her name,
only that she lives at Adrian. In his
waste basket a few days since I found
a photograph torn In two. Here ore
the fragments.”
“I say!” ejaculated Laurence, scan
ning the joined pieces of cardboard,
“if I had a picture like that I’d wear
It over my heart 1”
“I also found parts of a letter ap
parently from the father of the young
lady. It Informed Dudley that he
could not look upon their engagement
with favor, as he had learned confi
dentially that Dudley's business was
at the point of failure.”
“Is that true?" Inquired Laurence.
“I fear that It Is. His lawyer, Mr.
Ames, tells me so.”
Laurence visited the lawyer to find
that ten thousand dollars would place
his friend beyond the power of busi
ness disappointment. He went to
Adrian seeking for a young lady whose
name even he did not know. Her love
ly face, however, was vividly Impressed
upon his mind.
Fortune favored Laurence’s plans.
| He was traversing a residence street
of Adrian when he came upon a large
wallet lying on the pavement. Lau
rence picked It up to find It filled with
papers and money. Turning a corner
he nearly collided with a hurrying fig
ure, a flushed, excited girl.
“Found at last,” he breathed with
Intense satisfaction as he recognized
her, and then observing that she was
scanning walk and street with eager
eyes he spoke aloud: “Excuse me,
miss, but have you lost something?"
“Yes, oh I yes—a wallet containing
some very valuable papers I was tak
ing to my father's office from the
house.”
“Is that It?” questioned Laurence,
and Miss Amalie Dutton took the wal
| let tendered with a Joyous cry.
The incident led to their becoming
. acquainted more fully, and within a
; week Laurence was an accepted vls
i ltor at the Dutton home. Through
wary investigation he learned that
Amalie knew Dudley Vernon, but she
did not seem to be Intensely Interested
tvhen tie was mentioned 1'ersistentiy,
however, Laurence brought up the
name of his friend on every possible
occasion, particularly before the par
ents of Amalie. Be lauded Dudley, he
told of recent business troubles now
all adjusted, and Dudley on the way
to become a millionaire. Then one
day there came a vast surprise when
Amalie propounded the query;
“Mr. Oolby, why Is It that you are
always speaking of Mr. Vernon T I told
my friend, Virginia Bland, about It,
and she cannot understand your deep
Interest In her fiance/'
"In her what I” cried Laurence,
amazement, hope, mystery, delight
struggling for mastery In his heart
"Her fiance. They were to marry,
but her parents have objected and Vir
ginia Is very unhappy."
Not very long, however—for, quickly
discerning the blunder he had made,
Laurense set about righting the situ
ation. He learned that the photograph
must have been one given to Dudley
by Miss Bland. He now enlightened
Mr. Bland, telling him how he had
braced Dudley financially. Amalie
heard of this. By that time she and
Laurence had discovered their mutual
love.
“Oft, you dear, true fellow 1” she
cried “to give up all your money for
the sake of a friend )n
“Ob I not all, Amalie, dear,” correct
ed Laurence. “There Is still a liberal
Income from Investments, and a beau
tiful home to be graced by the loveli
est bride In Christendom."
“At least the happiest 1” declared
the devoted Amalia.
JOHNNY NOW IN “TRAINING”
Wife of Absent-Minded Veteran Will
See That the Course Ho la
Taking la Thorough.
"Johnny" did not come marching
home, at laaat not to the wife awaiting
his return In an Iowa town, after a
certain fighting division returned from
Prance. The wife waited and won
dered. Comrades of the man returned.
To the waiting wife they had little In
formation to offer, except to say that
“Johnny" had been wounded In battle,
that he had recovered and had come
home on a transport.
"If disabled soldiers are given train
ing at the hands of the federal board
for vocational training," mused the
wife, "and Johnny was wounded, he
may ask for training, and—well, I will
Just write to the board asking them to
notify me If 'Johnny' does ask for
training.”
A letter to the board brought back
Information that "Johnny” slightly
disabled, was about to take a course
In training. The wife gathered a few
clothes, hoarded a train and within a
few hoars walked In on "Johnny.”
Here Is the place to insert a few
stars, exclamation marks. Interrogation
points, quotations galore.
There was a reunion. District voca
tional officers will not talk. They
smile, but refuse to answer even the
most Innocent questions Their re
ports do not Indicate a sudden with
drawal from training of any veteran
admitted. It Is understood that the
wife Is now on the Job to see that
"Johnny” gets the training he applied
for and another sort of training taught
only by the affectionate wives of ab
Itnt-minded husbands.—Exchange.
Couldn’t Blame Him for That.
The attorney for the defense was
trying his best to discredit the tes
timony of a colored witness In a re
cent Marlon county Juvenile court
case.
“Didn’t I defend you In a case In
this court last May, Sami” he de
manded.
Before the witness bad a chance
to reply to the question the attorney
for the state said, “We grant It, but
you don't hold that against him, do

Carlyle’s Prophecy.
America, too, will have to strain Its
energies, crack Its sinews and all but
break Its heart, ae the rest of us have

SETTLING ESTATES
The law provides that someone must settle the nlTairs of a man
who dies. It gives the man the right to arrange this settlement to
suit himself by writing a will. Some men are prudent enough to take
advantage of this right. But most of them are careless; and when
they die without wills, the Courts appoint administrators to settle their
affairs.
We would be glad to talk with you, in strict confidence, about
making your will.
We can offer nothing better than Service to the Community.
We pay 3 per cent. Interest on Savings Accounts.
We ltent Safe Deposit Boxes for your valuables.
