Even if it is only one room, it is a home--if it is filled with love and service." Mary Duwald looked -around her room. It was large, as lodginghouse rooms go -- it had once been a master bedroom when the house wajis new. There were two high windows toward the back, where the sun came late on winter afternoons. There was a fireplace under the white marble mantlepiece -- never used, but a fireplace just the same. It wasn't a bad room. But it wasn't a home. - A white iron bed m one corner. A couch in another *-- for in better times, when her rooms were in greater demand, Mrs. Walsh had let this room to two girls. Depression making a scarcity of lodgers at Mrs. Walsh's, she let Mary have the room for the price of a single fee. Mrs. Walsh liked Mary. / - Sleet began to beat against the windows in the first cold storm of the autumn. Mary shivered, then wrapped herself in her green velveteen wrapper. She was pretty, there under the yellow lamplight-- her small face was vivid, her cheeks were glowing with health aria color, her body was slim and strong and young. Her eyes, for the moment, were red and a little swollen. Even so Mary was pretty. She cleared off the remnants of her meager supper, put them away, and sat down in one of the comfortable chairs. She leaned back, closed her eyes, and began to dream of a home of her own -- white clapboard, with green blinds; lilqcs at the door, a big elm tree behind it, white curtains crisply shielding the windows. Mary opened her eyes, pulled herself suddenly erect, and listened. A soft, thudding slide outside her door. She stood up, walked steadily to the door. "Who's there?" she said. "Anybody there in the hall?" Then she opened the door, and jumped back as a young man, who seemed to have fallen against it, slid slowly backward into her room until he lay, pale and quiet, on her floor. "Whatever's the matter?" Mrs. Walsh's worried voice preceded its owner up the stairs. "What's this I hear? Well, whatever's the matter?" She looked down at the young mkn. "He's the new one came la$fx night -- hired that little attic room -- t'aint fit for a human, though I will say it's clean. But it's cheap, and he said he couldn't afford a better. He's due for a Job next week, but I guess he's been out of work some t i m e . Looks kinda thin and tired." Mary, down on her knees by her unbidden guest's side, nodded bright eyes at Mrs. Walsh. "Hungry, I guess." "What'll we do with him?" Mrs. Walsh asked. Mary thought a moment. "Let's put him on my couch. I'll giVe him some supper. And -- Mrs. Walsh, if I go down and get it, may I have a little wood and make a fire in my fireplace?" "Of course you may. I've a lot to do, myself. Here, let's get him on your couch. Hey, Frank!" And she called to one f her sons. "Give us a hand here.' They got the y >ung man--whose name was Bob Bentley -- comfortably propped up on Mary's couch. He came out of his faint quickly, and was able, with the help of Frank and Mrs. Walsh, while Mary hovered over them, to walk with a fairly steady step across the room. But he was weak and shaken, and acquiesced without much resistance when they pulled a blanket over him and told him he must rest and get warm. "Now call me if you need anything," whispered Mrs. Walsh to Mary. "I'll run alone, if you don't mind, while you fix him up." Mary made weak cocoa and poached an egg on toast over her gas burner and started a little blaze in the fireplace, and finally drew the card table up before the couch and spread out Bob Bentley's supper on a soft green-striped cloth. And just before he began to eat Mrs. Walsh sent up a plate of ginger-bread and applesauce for two, and Mary joined him for dessert. Afterward, while Bob, warm and well fed, dozed comfortably in his corner--he had let Mary's protestations that he must spend the evening in her warm room overcome his scruples against accepting her hospitality -- Mary, having cleared away supper for the second time, sat before the fire and dreamed. She closed her eyes, and tried to bring back visions of the little white house. The wind howled and sleet beat against her window. She tried to see the little white bouse covered with wo/cm. But Mary's dream showed only a big, rather shabby room, warm and comfortable -- with herself seated before the hearth, and in a corner, dosing. Bob Bentley, smiling, gratefully at her when he opened his eyes. "Any woman," thought Mary, "can nave a home--if It is filled with love an A man get a job polishing motorcar bodies. During the first week he was taught to polish with the right hand only. The second week he was made to use the left hand only. Next week he had to use both hands simultaneously. At the end of the third week the foreman said to him, "Easy, isn't it?" "Yes," said the man with a tired grin, "and if you'll just fix a broom to my pants I'll sweep the floor at the same time."--Tit-Bits Maga- XiSp::"v'";; ' VOLO MOT A FEW "Fringe oo the skirt went seme time ago."

Not long ago a stranger entered the general store and found Eph, the proprietor, with his feet on the counter, and making no move to wait on him. "Say," said the stranger, "how about snapping into it? I'm in a hurry!" Eph shifted a bit, blinked one eye, then drawled: "Can't you come back some time when I'm standin' up?" Gorvult the. Hee-Haw! A Very small boy with a donkey in tow passed by the headquarters of an organization of older boys called "The Rangers." Two of the big boys, lounging outside;^ decided to have some fun. "Why are you holding so tightly to your brother, bud?" one of them called out. The lad didn't even smile. "So he won't join the Rangers!" he shot back.
