(©. 1920, Western Newspaper Union.)
"I don't know what to do," said
Jack's wife. "Jack loves this old col
lege chum of his. and Is keen about
having him stop over to pay us a visit,
He wants to take him around the
golf links and other places during the
week he could be with us. But this
friend Kenneth writes frankly that It's
an Iron-bound rule of his never to in
flict his company upon a hostess that
does not keep a maid. Makes him
feel like a "cheeky burden," he says,
to have her working for him.
"Not necessary, either." this thought
ful man adds, "when there's a good
hotel in town."
So Kenneth Dixon decided to stop
at the hotel and let Jack entertain
him around town.
"Then," asked Peggy, "why not let
the considerate one follow up his
rule?"
"Because Jack, will be so unhappy,"
Nell said. "Fie has counted upon tak
ing this dearly beloved Into the midst
of his home. Wants to 'show him,'
perhaps. Kenneth, you see, happens
to be a self-satlsfled bachelor. In vain
I have called the agencies In a possi
ble hope that they may be able to sup
ply me for one week with a model
maid. No maid of any kind Is to be
found. The expense of keeping one
continually, Peggy, is more than we
can manage at present."
"I'll tell you," Peggy Jumped up ex
citedly. "I will be your maid, Nell.
Got the Idea out of a book."
Jack even grinned as he was sworn
to secrecy regarding the maid's Iden
tity.
The first day of Kenneth Dixon's
visit passed without a hitch In the do
mestic management. It was really a
pity, Nell thought, that this handsome
stranger should be so oblivious to a
pretty face.
Nell was absurdly concerned as
days wore on that Jack would be over
taken with inexplicable laughter dur
ing the course of a meal, when surrep
titiously Peggy would make, secret
motions for his benefit, above the
guest's head.
"It happens tonight!" the girl later
told Nell dramatically, "the blind and
dumb must be made to take notice. It's
a blow to one's pride to be treated like
an automaton.
"Peggy, dear," Nell cried alarmed,
"you would not do anything to cause
me embarrassment.
It was beneath Nell's horrified eyes
that very night at dinner that Peggy
deliberately measured and spilled the
soup. The small quantity of hot fluid
fell upon the guest's hand. But it
was to his hostess and not t» her maid,
that his startled glance flew.
"No harm done, I assure you," he
told Nell politely.
And Peggy slipped back to her
kitchen. Upon the following morning
ns she whistled loudly over her dishes
Mr. Kenneth Dixon entered the white
kitchen, and tossed upon the table a
pair of gauntlet gloves.
"There's a rip In the thumb I'd like
you to mend, Tolly," he ordered—"set
tie up with you before 1 go."
Tor an Instant the girl's eyes flashed.
"Peggy, sir." she murmured humbly,
"not Polly." . ,
Mr. Dixon nodded.
"No matter," he said grandly, and
after a moment his peremptory voice
called "Polly" from the veranda.
With flaming cheeks the pretty maid
came. Nell was seated beside her
guest, and anxiety was in the gaze
she turned upon her friend.
"Bring," Mr. Dixon commanded, "a
glass of ice water, please. One for
you. too?" he questioned his hostess.
"Oh, no," Nell hastened to say. "I'll
get the water." she told Peggy hur
riedly.
But Kenneth Dixon motioned her
back to her chair.
"I'm afraid," he said, "that you spoil
your maid."
When Peggy brought the water she
also brought the mended glove.
"She sewed the thing so tight." he
complained, "that my thumb won't go
in."
With murmured words Nell left her
husband's friend, to seek out her maid.
"Peggy," she walled, "oh, why will
you! It may seem dreadfully funny
Inter, but just now I'm plain morti
fied."
Peggy chuckled.
"It Is dreadfully funny, Nell," she
said. "if you see it. Now that man
Is going to be mortified. Go out and
sit beside him, Nell. In his presence 1
want to give notice that I'm leaving."
Jack's wife sat helpless, as her maid
crisply gave notice of departure, lad
ing before the guest, who was, she
proclaimed, "the reason." Then Nell's
chagrin changed to amazement, for
Kenneth Dixon threw back bis head
and laughed.
"Great," be gasped. "Great acting
has been done ever since I first step
ped on your veranda, and beard you
two concocting your plan.
"You were both just inside the. win
dow. I ___ come to make a call of
regret upon refusing your hospitality,
but decided to accept Instead, and see
the play through. I've had a mighty
interesting time. Would you." he
asked Peggy meekly, "sit down he

"They seem to be having a good

marked later.

"That Peggy always has a good
time," she said.
WOULD REMAIN IN BUSINESS
Old Doctor Jones Evidently Was Sat'
isfied That He Could Read His/ !
i [•' Own Writing.
Old Doctor Jones, who once prac
ticed medicine In a New Jersey town!
was known where as a notorious
ly bad speller. lie slipped up on the
simplest words, and people wondered,
how he managed to write prescrip
tions, especially in medical Latin, so
mat they could he read and under-,
stood. Though the "Doc," as he was'
tailed, could not spell, he was. never
theless, accounted I good physician
and his patients swore by htm. He
! sent his prescriptions regularly to a
certain druggist In the town because
this man wns the only druggist who
could rend them. How the druggist
succeeded In doing It was a mystery
to every one.
Everything went well for a long
time, then one day the druggist was
taken 111 and died. His funeral was
largely attended and Doctor Jones
was one of the principal mourners.
What will become of "Doc" now?
win. will he get to read his prescrip
tions! were questions on every one's
lips. It was pretty generally agreed
that the future looked black for the
physician, hut this man who spelled
rheumatism "rnmntlz" was not to be
discouraged. The day after the obse
quies of the druggist the following
.nnouncement, printed in long-hand,
appeared in the window of the phar
macy: "Dr. Jones has bought this
drug store. He will continue the his
ness and fill prescrlp-honi hlsself."
RABBIT'S INSTINCT AT FAULT
Probably Would Have Died in Trap
From Which It Might Have
Escaped With Ease.
I have seen a bird tethered to Its
breeding place— Its feet held fast by
the hairs which lined Its nest—but.
until the other day I had never known
or heard of a rabbit being caught in
a snare of Its own devising, writes an
observer of nature. In nn old pas- !
ture in Middle Teviotdnle. where the
grass grows rank beside the old haw
thorn hedge which fences the field, a
rabbit was seen to be struggling as If
striving to escape from a snare. On
going up to the spot, I found thnt the
hind legs of the rabbit were firmly
hound together with "ropes" of grow
ing grass. Apparently the little cap
tive had been rolling Itself among the
grass, and, in the process, had un- !
wittingly woven Its own bonds. The
rabbit had evidently been a prisoner
for some days, being thin in body and
feeble from the effects of its fruitless
struggles for liberty, while the ground
around the tufts of grass to which it
was fastened was closely cropped,
though seemingly instinct 'had never
suggested that It might have eaten
away its "chains."—The Weekly Scots
man.
Wall of Dragons of Pekin.
The dragon screen of Pekin is hid
den behind a' hillock in the winter pal
ace grounds. It is a wall perhaps
-20 feet high and 100 long, faced
completely with tile cast to represent
nine large-size dragons in has relief, \
of various colors —yellow, purple, buff,
maroon, orange—dancing gayly above
emerald billows against a pale blue
sky. Most sculptured Chinese dragons
are lifeless, angular beasts; but here
there is an almost un-Chinese vigor
and audacity in the spring and twist
of the lithe bodies. They leap, Whirl.
lunge, and writhe until the spectator
steps back, half afraid that they will \
come tumbling off the screen, striking
nt the unwary with their sturdy claws.
There are, I believe, critics' who teach
that plastic art should never under
take to portray moments of activity.
If this be correct, the dragons stand
condemned; but if the sculptor may
ever rightly give us life in its vivid,
moving moments, lure is a master
piece.—Exchange.
