I had to gel on with my business, and besides, it was not fair to the woman. Any moment I might be found hvre, and she would get into trouble for harbor- j in<^ me. I asked her if she knew where' the Danube was, and her answer sur- prised me. "You will reach it in an hour's walk,." she said. "The track through the ferry." Next pulled the ropes.

They might have heard of me in the village and told the ship's party the story. For that reason I resolved not to po there but to meet the sailors when they were returning to the boat. Or the captain might have been warn- ed and got the number of my pass, in which case Stumm would have his hands on me pretty soon. Or the cap- tain might be an ignorant fellow who had never seen a Secret Service pass and did not know what it meant, and would refuse me transport by the let- ter of his instructions. In that case I might wait on another convoy. I had shaved and made myself a fairly respectable figure before I left the cottage. It was my cue to wait for the men when they left the church, wait on that quarter-mile of straight highway. I judged the captain must be in the party. The village, I was glad to observe, seemed very empty. I have my own notions about the Ba- varians as fighting men, but I am bound to say that, judging by my ob- servations, very few of them stayed at home. That funeral took hours. They must have had to dig the grave, for I wait- ed near the road in a clump of cherry- trees, with my feet in two inches of mud and water, till I felt chilled to the bone. I prayed to God it would not bring back my fever, for I was only one day out of bed. I had very little tobacco left in my pouch, but I stood myself one pipe, and I ate one of the three cakes of chocolate I still carried. At last, well after midday, I could see the ship's party returning. They marched two by two, and I was thank- ful to see that they had no villagers with them. I walked to the road, turned up it, and met the vanguard, carrying my head as high as I knew how.

When a car- load of acquaintance* honks up to our door near the end of a trying 8am- mer wek, what housewife hasn't thought with longing of the old- fashioned, dark, cool, orderly parlor which- she has progressively trans- formed into lived-in room. Ideas in decoration change. We needn't have wax flowers and pampas grass in a best parlor to-day. But who hasn't longed for a half-hoar rest in this dim, cool, quiet room on a bustling, blistering summer after- noon? Who hasn't longed for its free- dom from dust and disorder, flies and shabbiness, when callers arrived in the busy season? Grandmother was a busy woman with a big family. She knew what she was about when she instituted the best parlor. The children kept out because It was uninteresting and more or less unsafe. Flies kept out because it was dark and sacredly clean. Dust and heat kept out be- cause it was closed against them. I What a haven of quiet and rest and i preparedness I It is all very well to talk about : ideals and methods and modern labor savers, but what busy, ambitious farm woman has sufficient time and strength to keep an ideal home during th'- rush season? If my experience' and observations are correst, it simply "can't be did." Flies will congregate. Dust will blow in open wondows. Dis- order will accumulate in liv*d-ln rooms. Crying needs such as food, fowls, garden preserving and clean clothing claim first attention and these other things have to go. Then it is that the old-fashioned parlor is an anchor to windward.
