J confessed to myself a little feel
ing: of triumph as the nurse read tho
telegram to me, and I was selfish
enough to hope that John would havo
nn hour or two of great anxiety. Ev
idently thla was true, or he would
never have trlcdto get us on tho tclc
,. phone aa hla wire also told us he had
j tried to do,
rt ' 'Ms the doctor going to talk with
f' , John ?" I asked.
'J. "Ho has sent for Mr. Goodwin, as ho
'. docs not hear very well, and if wc get
ihe line through before Mr. Good
' win comes, I expect I will havo to
talk with him. Is there anything In
particular you want mc to say?"
"Nothing," I answered, and thought,
"Oh, yes, be sure and tell him my
y baby is a girl."
. I smiled a little to myself as 1 said
this, because I was quite sure he
( would Insist upon calling It "my" ba
by after ho knew Its sex.
XcKtlcs u JJIt Closer.
"Never mind, dearest," I aald, as 1
put my cheek close to Its little downy
head, "Mother will see to It that no
. other man will ever wish that you were
J out of thi3 world," As though in an-
swer to mv nrnml!(. Mm llnv ln'nd
IB gentled a bit closer against my breast
I . and 1 closed my eyes In perfect con-
I sentment. 1 do not know how long
R we slept, my baby and I, but I was
I awakened by a noise In the hall one
n of those suppressed noises which tella
V that someone Is trying to do somc-
I s'. thing quietly and not succeeding In It.
0 '"or a moment or two the sounds
I were confused, and then I becamu
I awaro that someone was talking over
I ' tho "phone. It was Charles trying
jf to talk to John.
- "I had not at first recognized
Charles' yolce, as it was so hard and
j his words so crisp very , different
from Charles' kindly tones and his
sauve English.
"Yes," I heard him say, "Kathorlne
is nearly out of danger, but she has
boen very, very ill. For a 'time wc
thought she would not recover."
Then thcro was a silence for a few
L- --v"' seconds, as though Charles was llsten-i
J- ' lng to what John said at the other,
I end. Then he spoke. "Yes, I realize)
all that, Gordon, but you must under
stand that we did everything we could
to find you except to out private de
tectives on your track."
In Deadly Kaincst.
Again silence.
"I am not trying to be funny. 1 am
in deadly earnest, in fact, at one time
we debated, the doctor and T, if we
should not do that very thing."
"Well, under tho circumstances, one
. ' might think that a man would try
and koep in touch with his office at
least, if not with his wife."
"I am not trying to bo disagreeable.
I am Juat trying to explain to you our
anxiety and worry over Katherlnc.
Fortunately most of the time sho was
unconscious and consequently did not
miss you. The doctor, however, was
In great dlstrcKs for fear Kathorlne
would ask for you. Especially after
her baby was born,
"Yes, the baby is -1 days old."
"I do not think Katherine will call
it after you?" '
"iSo, she has not said what sho is
going to name it, but you see it is a
girl."
There was a longer silence than us
ual and then Charles said: "No, she
has not said anything about naming
the babv hut I am almost sure she
will call it "Mary "
"That was her mother's name, you
know."
"Of course, when you come you can
sugge3t that she add your mother's
name. Mary Elizabeth might please
her."
Hates the Name.
"I guess not! I guess not! I will
not call my baby Elizabeth," I al
most screamed. "I do not caYe if it
Is John's mother's name. I hate it
and my baby shall not have it."
"Wait a minute, Gordon, I believe
Ivathcrlnc lias awakened," said
1 Charles. 'Perhaps she will feel able
I to speak to you. There Is a phone
close to her bed," The door opened
aiid the nurse s?.ld, "Mr. Gordon Is
on the wire. You may say just three
words to him."
"When is he coming?"
"He did not say."
"I do not feci able to speak to him,"
I said.
"Mrs. Gordon say3 the effort would
be too much." Charles told John, and
seemed to me there was a little note
of triumph in his tones. Thon he
raised his volco a little and I knew
thnt he was speaking so that I as well
ns John could hear.
"All right. I'll tell her that you
will be over tomorrow and I will be
sure and give her your love."
In a few minutes tho doctor came
In and said: "I have given Charles
permission to see you for a few min
utes. He wants to give you your hus
band's message."
"Tell him I have, already heard it.
I want him to see my baby. I don't
care anything ahout the mcsbage."
The doctor raised hi3 eyebrows ano
beckoned to Charles.

MARTY MINK'S HOUSE.
H By and by Nancy and Nick, and Mr.

Ihe Fairy Queen when she sees the
empty, place after hi3 name In my

It was the twins' turn to be sur
priced! To think that Marty Mink
should live in such a ramshackle old
lodging! No visions of loveliness here,
as they had oe.xpectcd, just a hole in the
ground. They felt sorry for Marty to
"Do do you see that?" he gasped. "Marty Mink has moved and he owes
pi me three months' rent."
iand which Tingaling said he was go

pay his rent. But there was nothing

Tingaling stopped as suddenly as
though some one had pinched him. The
twins stopped, too, wondering why an
old hole in the bank should cause the
fairyman to act as though the sky had
tumbled down.
"Blooming begonias!" he, gasped.
"Do do you see that? Marty Mink
has moved and he owes me three
months,' rent. Whatever shall I tell

"How much rent does he pay?"
asked Nick curiously.
"Pay!" exclaimed Tingaling. "Don't
you mean how much rent does he not
pay? It's five clam sheila a month."
"Well, well, well! What's all the
talking about?" asked a deep voice sud
denly. "You're scaring all the flies
away." And Phil Frog's head popped
up out of the water.
"Ah, ha!" said he, "I see you've dis
covered about Marty Mink's bad
luck!"
But whatever -Marty's bad luck may
have been, Phil didn't look as though
he felt a bit sorry.

ICCopyrlaht, 1920, N. E. A.)
At first thought a cup of hot con
somme or bouillon seems out of place
in t)ie summer diet. But when wc
I think again and got down to brass.
tacka we see that the hot soup is
really the best stimulant for a sultry
summer day.
The digestive organs must be toned
to the point where they "vIll respond
quickly to food. The hot soup does
this. It also induces perspiration
which in turn causes evaporation.
unc oi tne most euecuve means or
cooling the body is through evapora-
After the digestive system is at
work, solid food is readily assimilated
and chilled salads and ices are not
disturbing.
Menu for Tomorrow
BREAKFAST Stewed dried aprl
cots, poached eggs on toast, coffee.
LUNCHEON Clam bouillon, toasted
crackers, pineapple pie, tea.
DINNER Halibut steaks, shoe

FAJUjK OF THE STORK.
Parents should be able to answer
the question their children ask them
in such a way that It will give the
child confidence In the parent and at
the same time satisfy a yearning for
information that is quite natural. Ono
of tho really grave mistakes on the
part of the parent is to repeat tho
age-worn fable of the stork. From
some other source the child learns a
different story and confidoncc ln any
thing else the parent may tell the
child is destroyed.
Times have changed a Kreat deal
since the parent of today was a child.
Children ao not grow up ln ignorance
of sex matters, lndeea, observations
of specialists of the public health ser
vice show that they begin to get this
knowledge surprisingly early and in
6uch a way that it" frequently leads
to practices of vice, with the resulting
social diseases.
To guard against this the public
health service has published several
pamphlets.

WASHINGTON, June 26 Having
won the Republican nomination for
the presidency, Senator Warren G
Harding of Ohio, will be subjected to
personal and political discussion and
analysis during the coming months.
Tho Democrats arc already ,whcttlng
their scalpels, honing their razors and
rolling up their sleeves preparatory
to carving the candidate.
Radical and liberal publications
who see ln Harding only the choice of
tho reactionary old-guard senatorial
group of tho party arc dusting off
their microscopes ond polishing their
critical vocabulary, getting set to "take
the hide off" Harding and examine
what lies underneath.
It is necessary, however, for these
gontlemen to go to a-lot of trouble to
lay bare the real Harding. Harding
never has posed under false colors,
whatever else may be said of him.
He has been frankly conservative;
frankly a follower Of party doctrine.
He has never presumed to chart new
roads, to propose new ideas, to set his
own beliefs or views above those of the
directing forces in the G. O. P.
If you want to know what Hard
ing stands for, read the Chicago plat-
means. His whole political code Is laid
down ln the following statement by
himself:
'Believing as I do in political par
ties and government through political
parties. I had much rather that tho
party to which I belong should, in
its conference, mako a declaration,
than to assume a leadership or tako an
individual position on the question."
No threat of a political dictatorship
there, is there? As the party decides,
go Harding will perform! No moro of
that "czarlsm" in the White House, to
which Lodge, Wolson, Penrose and
Smoot have bo plaintively protested,
and against which tho Republican
platform declares. No more taking of
individual position by the president if
Harding Is elected. The party, through
the president, not the president will
rule.

WOMAN BUILDS BUSINESS ON HER
GAMENESS THROUGH DIFFICULTY1
Coffee Merchant Reaches Suc
cess by Imagination and
Perseverance
By LORRY A. JACOBS,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, June 26. At the foot
of stairs leading to a spick and Bpan,
spicy-smelling office in a well-kept
building on Front street, there is
this sign:
"Alice Foote MacDougall
&. Sons, Inc.
Coffee"
"Alice Foote MacDougall & SONS?"
you query, as you reach the offices
on the. third flight and find a sweet
faced, motherly-looking woman at
work.
"Yes," says she "The only Mrs.
and Sons In America that I know."
Some twelve years ago Mrs. Alice
Foote MacDougall became the widow
of an unfortunately unsuccessful
green coffee importer. She had $38.
Goes Into Business
A few days later found her in an
office with a small stock of coffee
she had roasted, some order blanks
and' myriad ideas. A day later she
got an order for five pounds of cof
fee from her brother; two days later
she had half a dozen orders; a year
later found her still struggling, but
on her feet with a growing business;
and today finds her successful, pros
perous, happy and completely ab
sorbed in her work.
That's the outside of the story.
But the inside:
"Before my husband died," says
Mrs. MacDougall, "he was in the hab
it of sometimes blending some of tho
splendid green coffee that he im
ported, having It roasted, and giving
it to his friends. In those days the
green coffee and roasted coffee busi
ness were never combined, I urged
him to take it u,p, but he always
laughingly refused, saying that was
a 'woman idea.'
"I also had certain ideas of ad
vertising. He laughed at them, too.
But when, after many strugglos, he
died, I found myself with a $275 a
month expense, three children, and
nothing to do.
Personal Advertising
"So I plunged headlong into a j
business that no one had ever tried
befortj combining importing green !
coffee with retail roasted coffee
trade.
"It worked. I developed a system
of personal advertising, told pros
pective customors that if I could not
give them better coffee CHEAPER
I did not want their trade.
"The sons, Allen and Donald, grew
UP and, when I expected them to
join tho firm, went to war. That al
most unnerved me, but I was happy
In their achievements and now the
firm is Alice Foote MacDougall &
Sonn, Inc.
Courage Main Point
"It's not much of a story, but
it has proved my belief that anyone
can make a success of any business
if they have imagination, persever
ence and MUCH courage. I am the
only woman coffee Importer In the
country and my business is largely
mail order.
"I have succeeded because I be
lieved in my work so strongly that
no ono could shake me from that
belief and because I spared no ef
fort whatever in making it worth
believing."

WEDDING SUPERSTITIONS
The custom of including the thim
ble, wedding ring, and other similar
objocts In tho wedding cake is com
paratively modern.
The ring signifies that tho person
who receives tho piece of cake con
taining It, will be tho first to wed. The
thlmblo dooms tho recipient to an aid
maid's fate, whllo a coin portends
wealth. The button fortella bachelor
hood. A bride should cut tho first slice
of the wedding cake as it will bring
her luck. However, it is unlucky for
her to bake the bridal cake. If any
mishap befalls tho cako, It portends
sorrow in tho bride's married life.
If an unmarried woman eat3 a pieco
of tho cake that tho bride has left on
her plate, sho will bo married soon.
For an unmarried girl to carry a ploco
of wedding cake ln her pocket until
the honeymoon Is over, means that she
will marry before the dress Is worn
out.
When there is a wedding In the fam-j
lly for tho first time a pieco of tho
brldo's cake should bo left In the house
until all the ughtcrs are married,
otherwise the? will remain single.

TEMPT SERVANT TO WORK
SPOKANE, June 25. An eight hour
day for a domestic servant was tho
bait offered by a local woman who
sought help In her house recently. Tho
applicant for help told MIsb Phoebe
Roberts, in charge of the woman's
bureau of the municipal employment
agency, that she believed she had ar
ranged the duties of hor household
In such a way that a servant could
quit promptly at the expiration of
eight hours. The woman also prom
lsod $2 a day and board and room,

TODAY IN HISTORY
SLIGHTLY JAZZED
4 1
Robert Leighton, who died 236
years ago today. June 26'. 1684, is
about the only man on record who
escaped matrimony despite the ef
forts of every unmarried female in
his precinct. Robert's father used to
come home from lodge late, sit up
with sick friends, or have business
down town nights with such horrible
consequences that the lad vetoed
Cupid early in the game and resolved
to play a lonesome hand.
Nobody could snare him. Finally
a s,plnster of his church called upon
him during leap year and admitted
coyly that an angel had appeared to
her nnd had commanded her to wed
him without any unnecessary delay.
She thought she had him until an
alibi popped into his fertile brain.
"Undoubtedly, my good sister," he
responded, "you have done right In
telling me of this command from
above, but in order that everything
may be regular and that we may not
mix up any celestial records, do you
not think that we had hotter post
pone the orange blossoms until this
angel also appears to me nnd thus
makes it unanimous?"
Tho spinster waited until death
for tho bishop to get the message.

MEXICAN RAILROADS IN
DANGEROUS CONDITION
MEXICO CITY, June 23. Twisted
rails, decayed croasties and worn-out
rolling stock products of a decade
of revolution militate against tho ef
ficiency of Moxlco'3 railroads. No
greater problem of reconstruction
faces tho country than the rehabilita
tion of her railway lines.
The average speed of a Mexican
passenger train is 30 miles an hour.
From Juarez to Mexico City, a dis
tance of 1,235 miles, one has to travel
45 hours, running time, exclusive of
lengthy stops at Chihuahua City and
Torrcon. Tho shorter trip to Mexico
City from Nuevo Laredo, opposite
Laredo, Tex., requires ten hours less.
Banditti in all parts of the country
havo wrought havoc with the nation's
railway system. Even today one can
see ruins of trains that were burned
down by outlaws years ago. The
roadbeds likewise have suffered. De
railments are frequent, being due to
the improper repairing of tracks dam
aged by marauders.
