>r 9i sp4'p'ii81e*'infr^o'fitfaidl ' to Mary tt^HORA lfOLfcAW mi. by MeClor* N*w»p*p»r Syndicate) The girl occupying the stool nearest the window, fourth from the corner 00 the sixth floor of a huge skyscraper, wore on a certain day in January a bright pink blouse. It caught the eye of a man standing in the window en :he corresponding floor of a hotel directly opposite. Fascinated, he watched her deft + Angers its, with the precision of a machine, she packed celluloid toilet articles Into satin lined cases which she took from a pile beside her. She did not make a lost motion. When the girl came to the end of \ the pile of boxes she turned on her stool and looked out of the window. Her glance met tliiit of the man in the window opposite. She smiled. He acknowledged it ,by waving his hand. She returned the salutation, then as a boy deposited a fresh pile of boxes beside her, returned to lier work. With a start Strong Lewis remembered the warning words of his wife spoken as he left their country home for a business trip to the city. With a guilty feeling he hustled into hat and overcoat and out of the hotel. The episode, however, had not escaped the attention of the other girl who sat at the same table. "I'll tell Johnny on you, Mary," she giggled. "Guess if I always keep them at that distance. Sadie, Johnny'll not have any kick coming," the other replied. But Johnny did have a kick coming that very night, and this is why. When Strong Lewis returned to bis hotel room it was verging on five o'clock. With the instinctive movement of a man who is not used to being cooped up indoors, he walked directly to the window. The girt in the bright pink blouse sat in the same place. Her fingers flew back and forth At the same task. "Been at it all day--and every day, 1 suppose," the man soliloquized. "How on earth can she stand it?" Then his wife's warning, which hadn't been far from his thoughts all day, came into the foreground again. Muttering something about "taking a chance," and "a man named Brodie," Strong Lewis watched the opposite window intently. The girls were making preparations to depart. He hurried down into the street. ' dlrls singly and in groups, were stringing out of the doorway just across from the hotel. But they wore coats! How could he tell, then, which one he wanted? Ah! There she was; an unbuttoned coat disclosed a pink blouse. Mary Cummings and her cousin, Sadie, accompanied by the girl who lived next door, had started to walk Itome together, as was their custom, when Lewis approached them. He ad- !.• dressed Mary. "Could I speak to you-- an a matter which may interest you?" * 2 All the warnings which reach city gtrls from evfery side concerning the danger in accepting the' advances of unknown men rushed through the minds of the three girls. Sadie shook her head, and that decided Mary. "She wasn't going to be bossed by Sadie Jast because she was two years older • a&d many degrees plainer!" .So Mary answered the stranger with || polite "Sore." Whereupon the '<a|her girls walked ahead, turning fcround occasionally to be sure that Mary and the 6trange man were following. Then they hastened their .pace to bear the shameful tidings to Sadie's mother, who was also Mary's aunt. Strong Lewis did most of the talking until they reached the doorway of tile flat building where the cousins lived. There Mary seemed to have something to say, the while they were watched by 'two curious pairs of eyes from an open window above. But when Mary entered the flat the window was closed and her aunt confronted her. "You're of age, Mary, and it ain't for me to say, but I won't have any such goin's on by anybody what boards with me. Think of your mother what |a dead--and think of Johnny." "My board's paid till Saturday, and can't tell--perhaps I'll leave be- •re then." .With a toss of her head Mary went to the room w^ich she (shared with Sadie and closed the door, toon Sadie appeared with the excuse of wanting a handkerchief and, returning, reported to her mother that "Mary was dolling up in best duds!" Sadie and her mother listened until they heard Mary leave her room and start clown the stairs. Hurriedly they opened the front window and looked cautiously down. A taxi drew up at the curb and a man jumped out to help Mary in. Sadie was sure It was the man who had waved. The girl from next door came over to discuss the scandal and many suppositions were brought forward before Johnny Deland came for his regular Monday evening call upon Mary, rfui the Joy which they'expected to derive from the telling of the news was spoiled by Johnny, who merely shrugged his shoulders and remarked* "Jealous, because yer didn't get him yerself, eh?" to Sadie, whom he die* liked* i Nevertheless, It was a defected Johnny who, hands thrust deep in his pockets, slouched away and made for the corner saloou. For he had brought the good news of a raise and had planned to brdach the suggestion that "maybe by June they might be glttiug married." Disgusted by the slurring inuendoes of the women, for Johnny had always rated Mary Just a little below the angels, he decided over a desperate lemon soda that at least he'd give the girl a chance to explain. But Johnuy couldn't imagine standiug the suspense of not knowing for another day, so he hung around the saloon till closing time. Then he hid in the dark doorway of the flat building where Mary lived. At half an hour after midnight a taxi stopped in front of the hovfee and a man helped Mary out. Johnny heard the parting words: "Then I'll be at the Woodvllle station to meet you at 6:30 day after tomorrow/' the man said. "Sure," said Mary, "and I never can thank you enough for the grand time I had tonight." > ' Not very encouraging words these for a man who wants to believe the best of his sweetheart! Running up the steps, Mary stopped suddenly as she spied a man hiding in the shadows. "Mary," said Johnny in a hoarse voice, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Mary," but he could go no further. For Mary's face shone with relief and happiness at the sight of him. AnH Mary's voice was bubbling with eagerness to explain. "Oh, Johnny," she said, "I've been to the Winter' Garden ! All my life I've wanted to go to one of thein swell shows, and when Mr. Lewis says: 'What can I do to persuade you to come to the country?' I says: 'Take me there.' And Johnny, all the time he talked to me about the great big house he is going to bamboozle his grandmother into lending him the money to build when she comes to visit tliem, and his wife says she can't come if he don't bring some one home from the city to help her do the work, and he saw me in the window apd likes the way I work; and he says there's a little house we can live'in. and we'll go day after to-morrow--Johnny--" Mary paused for breath. "But we can't live together in a little house, Mary, until--" Johnny's voice was trembling with the hope of supreme happiness. "Of course not, Johnny," Marjr answered his unspoken question. Wedding Day in Borneo. On the wedding day. In Borneo, the bride and bridegroom are brought from opposite ends of the village to the spot where the ceremony is to be performed. They are made to sit on two bars of Iron, that blessings as lasting and health as' vigorous may attend the pair. A cigar and betelleaf, prepared with areca-nut, are next put into the hands of the bride and bridegroom. One of the priests then waves two fowls over the heads of the couple, and in a long address to the Supreme Being calls down blessings upon the pair, and Implores that peace and happiness may attend them. After the heads of the affianced have been knocked against each other three or four times, the bridegroom puts the prepared betel-leaf and cigar into the mouth of the bride, while she does the same to him, whom she thus acknowledges as her husband.

New York.--The habits of birds, the age they attain, the dispersal or distribution of their young, their mating customs, the strength of the homing instinct, the consistency with which migrant birds return to given areas in their winter range, routes followed by Individual birds, and even polygamy •--these and countless other problems the American Bird Banding association seeks to solve by methods that leave no oppotunity for questioning the accuracy of the date. The several hundred members of the association have for 12 years been conducting their Research on a large scale in the western hemisphere, and European societies whose aims are identical with those of the American workers have been operating since 1898. These bodies of investigators pursue their experiments by the use of rings, bands of tags, each bearing an Inscription or return address and a serial number. The bands are usually made of aluminum and are manufactured in about a dozen different sizes to flt the legs of all birds, from the smallest warbler to the clumsy pelican and the mighty eagle. Fifty-eight thousand of these bands haVe so far been made for the American Bird Banding association, and approximately 20,000 have been placed by members on the legs o$ native wild birds. Each ring is stamped with the words, "Notify Am. Museum, N. Y.," and following this, or on reverse side of the band, is a serial number. At the time the band Is placed on the bird the bander records on a standard file card all information relating to the operation. These data include the number of the band, the name of the bird, its age (whether nestling, fledgling or adult), locality, (fate, namo of bander and remarks. The bird, having been thoroughly "catalogued,** Is sent on Its way. Lohg Migrations Recorded. Workers for the association have carried bands Into the remotest regions. As members of scientific and exploring parties they have placed the tags on birds in Alaska, Greenland, Labrador, and even In the antarctic a thousand miles from Cape Horn. A young robin, banded in its nest on the lonely shores of Great Slave lake, in the Northwest territory of Canada, has been reported from Louisiana, more than 2,000 miles away; a Massachusetts tern, or sea swallow, has been recovered a similar distance from Its birthplace, in the waters off the Venezuelan coast, and a chimney swift, a bird less than six Inches long, has been recorded at Its New Hampshire summer home after three seasonal journeys to South America, Involving almost Incredible wing mileage, the minimum distance covered having been 18,000 miles. • Aside from /the birds which are systematically trapped, wild birds, either dead or alive, fall into human hands in a variety of ways. The longest period record thus far turned In his been produced by a common crow, which was banded in the nest at Berwyn, Pa., May 17, 1914, and shot while stealing chickens on the sixth anniversary of the date of banding, May 17, 1920, at Phoenlxvllle, Pa., only eight miles from the site of its Ideal.

The inscription on the aluminum band worn by this bird is as legible today as it was when received from 4he maker, notwithstanding the six ^ears of rough treatment under all/weather conditions. One of the rrfost astounding details of bird life brought out by banding has to do with the domd&tic relations of Jenny Wren and her songful husband. Wren Is Fickle. Wrens habitually raise two large families in rapid sequence each season, and in these circumstances it would naturally be thought the Bead of the establishment would give his uninterrupted attention to his household. Not so, however, with an Ohio house wren, who, the moment his first hatch of offspring was on the wing, ruthlessly abandoned his little brown wife and, moving off less than a hundred yards, reared h's second family with a newly found mate. This abominable fickleness might never have been suspected had It not been for • »t»»tn|ntnt I ^'1#'•#»•#»«<!»•<»• Here's Another Peril in "Hitting Bottle" »Winchester, VaX-The art of drinking from a bottle is being lost in this vicinity.

One of Smith's guests had not gurgled anything for somany years that when he went about it in the old-time,way the suction fastened the mouth of the bottle tightly to his lips and it could not be removed. Finally one of the guests procured a feather and tickled his friend under the nose, provoking a laugh, which broke the connection. the numbered rtngs mad on ill at the Characters involved. Another bouse wren with a history Is the "little %ld woman who lived In a shoe." She and her husband and their 18 children (reared in two Installments) were all banded.

The observer Is left wondering If perhaps there Is not g wren Reno somewhere In the South. Of the total of 20,000 birds banded approximately 400, or 2 per cent, have so far been heard from, and additional recoveries are being received froip time to time. - y PHYSICAL PERFECT!0* In John J.

DOCTORS WATCH EXPERIMENT After Two Years' Research Musician Claims Remarkable Results From Music in Arousing Patients From Mental Stupor. Chicago, March 19.--The Italian woman sat huddled in the corner, her thin shoulders shaking. The color came to her bleached skin. She worked her fingers over her face, over the walls; she tore frantically at her fingers with her teeth. The Intermezzo of "Cavallerla Rustlcana" ended. The woman kneeling in the corner, Adeline M., sagged down. A nurse leaned over her and remarked: "She says: 'Oh, my baby' Baby needs a mother. When am I going home?' Say, you know, that's the first time she's spoken since they brought her here. She refused to nurse her baby."

Those who think the Thanksgiving table is the limit in plenty might consider a small purt of the menu of a state dinner given In the time of Nero. It should be remembered that everyone ate everything that was served, and when the stomach was stuffed to its physical limit there were long feathers at hand to tickle the throat and relieve the feaster of what he had already gorged himself with. The meals were eaten with the diners at full lengtji on cushions with their heads resting on tlie laps of slave girls, other guests, or supported by their elbows. One feast included: Dormice stewed with honey and pepper, sausages, served on individual stoves, plums with kernels of pomegranates, pea-lien eggs with , wheat ears hidden In the center, peas, l>eef kidneys, African eggs, custard, lointer. fowl crammed with nuts, pups «f a sow powdered with crystal sugar, rabbit larded with fish fins, relishes, wild boar, dates, almonds, little pigs stuffed with sweetmeats, blackbirds' tongues, grapes, locust fried In honey, honey flavored Jelly blocks encasing broiled humming birds, breads, cheese cakes, whole thrushes with bones removed, sugar-loafs crusted with caviar, haunch of a b«%r, fried snails, cold tarts dipped In boiling honey, bacon dripping with goose liver gravy, chitterlings, eels stuffed with brandled peaches, drinkable perfumes, salad of chestnuts, pickles and hearts of roses, wine-flavored whipped cream floating on chilled turtle soup, and many, many .other dishes, washed down with over one hundred varieties of wine. mat All People* of the Earth Represented i* tha Millions Seeking Homes r T in This Country. ». Armies equal In size to the one we sent to France land every two years on our shores, and at the present time millions are said to be waiting to enter. Since 1900 more than thirteen million Immigrants have entered this country, and approximately one-third of our present population of more than one hundred millions are immigrants or the children of immigrants. Two-thirds of the population of New York state and three-fourths of that of our great cities are foreign born or the children of foreign-born parents. From a fourth to a half of the population of the large cities of the South are negroes. Already we are the most heterogeneous people on earth; herq are found representatives of every race and tongue and culture in the world, and still they continue to come in enormous numbers. It is doubtful whether any other migration In the htstory of mankfnd compares In magnitude with that which has been converging on America during the past twenty years. The sources and magnitude of this migration are indicated by the following general summary: Of more than thirty million persons In this country who are foreign born or the children of foreign-born parents there are from eight to nine million Germans, four to five million Irish, about three millions from Great Britain, about three million Slavs, front two to three million Scandinavians, more than two million Italians, and about two million Hebrews, while all other races and nations constitute about five millions.--Edwin Grant Conklin, In Scrlbners.

Tries Music as Aid to Insane. It was at the state hospital for the Insane In Dunning. Surrounded by the "stuporous," or depressed types of insane patients, Mr. Boguslawski sat at a piano running through the emotional gamut of music. A small audience of alienists watched the experiment. Can insanity be cured through music? After two years of yesearch, Mr. Boguslawski claimed remarkable results from music on such cuses. He has been performing experiments at the Dunning institution, it is said, for the last month. He has been holding weekly "musical clinics." Psychiatrists and health department officials, as well as Chicago physicians, are watching the experiments at Dunning. At each "music therapeutics" test, as Mr. Boguslawski has named his psychiatric process, Dr. D. B. Rotman of the hospital staff has collected data for presentation to the American medical profession for discussion. "These experiments are the first of their kind ever conducted In the United States," said Dr. llotman. "They are highly fti^eresting.. There is a universal potency to music; It ap peals to the subtler elements of the mind. Patients long considered dull are aroused by this music to the expression of emotionrii* display. The effect on that Italian woman, for Instance, was /overwhelming. Now we have found a response, she may be curable." A Revelation, Says "This Is a revelation to mP," fixclaimed Dr. E. A. Foley, assistant superintendent of the .institution, watching the pianist , endeavor to arouse the patients from their mental torpor with* many varieties of melody. * "I have studied this for two years; I know it will work," replied Mr, Boguslawski. "I don't claim to be able to cure insanity, but I can relieve much mental distress. Probably a third of the 190,000 insane In the United States can be greatly improved by 'music therapeutics,'" One of the cases studied was Mary K„ an Armenian refugee. She was made Insane by war horrors. She saw her mother, father and brother slain before her eyes. The Chopin funeral march today brought her to her knees In mumbled prayer. Tragic memories apparently were revived." She fell on the flohr, sobbing. "Nostalgia," explained Boguslawski "An Intelligent approach. A relief through the caress of sympathetic music for pent-up desires, suppressions, Imagined fears. Music is the scalpel which help open the wound After that it's a case for physicians, not musicians." FREAK SUGAR NOT VALUABLE As It Appears to Jud.

Can Be Made From Corncobs and Straw, but Poor Food, S^rs University Expert. * -- Lafayette, Ind.--Making sugar fi*dm corncobs, straw, sawdust and other materials' which have been suggested by chemists at various times recently is quite possible, but there is a question as to whether such sugar has any real food value, according to President W. E. Stone of Purdue university. President Stone before becoming head of the university was a chemist and was an authority on sugars, "I prepared sugar from corncobs, Jfrom straw and from sawdust In 1898." Said President Stone. "Thfese have an entirely different constitution and behavior from the ordinary sugars of commerce. These sugars are not subject to fermentation and the substance from which they are derived, found In corncobs and straw, did not appear to be digestible when fed to animals, as some experiments of mine seem to show conclusively. Bo far as the physiological value of these substances, or the sugars derived from them, is con cerned, the results, of the research in dicate that they have little value.

Paris has something new lis <Wn<> ing. She is Introducing no fewer than three futurist dances; the machine gun, the shrapnel and the airman's dance. A poet of futurist tendencies is the culprit. Being conservative enough to love the waltz and confessing unashamed to many happy moments during the lancers, we trust that remorse will be his lot. So far we have only read a brief description of one of these measures, the airman's dance, and that simply tells us that the dancers Imitate the motions of a monoplane starting on a flight and soaring away. The shrapnel dance should be easy enough, for it is only necessary to turn up at any dancing hall and see people who remind one Instinctively of a creeping barrage. Thfcre are also plenty of duds to heighten the effect. What to v make of the machine gun dance, however, puzzles us, for although there are men and even women, who can talk as fast as a machine gun firing, we have never seen a dance that was anything 'tt^ the real thing. ^ v London Tired of Jazx. The "Jazz" is dead in London, says P. J. S. Richardson, one of the foremost English authorities on dancing. He declares that no new dances will be popularized this year, but the foxtrot, one-step and tango, which have held international interest for two or three seasons, will be standardized. 'Previously those taught the same dances by different teaghers found themselves hopelessly at sea when they tried to dance together," he said. 'Through standardization on which the majority of dancing instructors in London have now agreed, a common framework in the steps will be Insured without eliminating all chance of introducing Individual variations. Freakish and eccentric 'light gymnastics' such as exaggerated forms of •Jazz' are rapidly passing out." «%ett" With His Ear*.

"I can hear a tree or post very distinctly. thftik it is a sense that every one has, but that one does not develop unless he is blind. I call it sound because I find that when there is an overwhelming noise I cannot do It." Mr. Donehoo walks fearlessly about the streets, turns without hesitation at corners and can even estimate very accurately the width of the sidewalk, always knowing when it becomes wider or narrower.--Providence Journal. romts PREVENT INJURY BY BORERS Over the Earth's Shoulder. Ocean voyages are sometimes short* ened considerably by going "over the shoulder, of the earth," as the navigators say, the Nebraska State Journal observes. The same thing Is true, of course, of air travel. When an attempt is made to fly over the Pacific ocean from San Francisco the shortest way will not be directly across, as a study of the map would indicate. Instead, the fliers will go hundreds of miles northward, skirting the Aleutian islands and in this way saving a great distance as well as securing the advantage of more numerous landing places. The earth will soon be charted for air travel and the lines for long distance flights will be circular mora often than direct. ' Strategy. "I saw the cutest little bat this aft(*»• noon."
