Sign of /tanMi Far untold centuries the peacock feather baa been a mark ot rank In ' *yiWL M1LLY « • COULD UNDERSTAND yg>& (© by D. t. Wal«h.» MILLY BRAND nibbled toast thoughtfully. She was breakfasting aloue that moruiug because her husband was uui of town looking after some oue ol his many affairs. It cam.: to her that lie had not told her where he was goiti£. That was odd. But perhaps iu hut liaste be had fyrgtiftteu. It was lonely without him.. For some twentyeight years they had beeu breakfasting together, dining together, spending their evenings together. For more than twenty-eight years they had loved each other truly, honestly and unselfishly. Now as she recalled the past Mllly Brand felt grateful that she iiad more than she deserved out of life, for she was a very ordinary woman. The one great thing-that hud characterized her wifehood was service. Even in the old days before Roger began to make money and they had' lived In two rooms she had always taken pains for his jcomfort. He called her l!ie Aaron of his endeavor, reminding her that Moses would have failed but for the faithful Aaron who held up Moses' weary hands. It was Just kindness in Roger to say that, though sho had done her best--at ttrst with llule, latterly with a great deal. For Roger iiad won rare success. This charming apartment, all their luxuries, their tri^s, and good clothes and social position had beeu earned by the workings of his splendid brain. He realized that now she did not measure up to him for she was still only an ordinary v'oman--ordinary in looks, manner and mental equipment. They had no children. She wondered sometimes ""hether her twin sons if they bad lived would have been fine upstanding men like their fattier or merely ordinary persons like herself. In their stead Ko^er had ei". :cated two of his nephews and a niece of hers All three young people were doiu^ well. It was a pleasure to think of that--p Anna, the maid, entered softly. Anna had a pan-el In her hand* That was all. No mall. Milly had hoped that Roger would send her a line. With a sigh she opened the small parcel. It contained a box of common held flowers, slightly wilted In spite of the care that had be?n tHken to wrap them. Tucked among them was a card so damp that the word< which had been scribbled In Ink had run together. "I'm down here at the old home," she read. "If you want to come, loo. I'll stay and wait for £ou. Here's to a speedy meeting. ROGER." Milly sat staring at the flowers, her ilps parted, a look of .puzzled wonder in tier dark eyes. How odd. how Incomprehensible ! But from Iter mystification emerged one fact--Rog.*r wanted her to come where be was. An hour later she was on her way. As the train swept her away from town Into the open country site thought of the place to whicb she was going. The old house was Itog er's boyhood home. It was the only bit of property he had ever inherited, and it was not worth much--a dreary old house, slightly awry, un der towering poplars, witli a field and it hill and a brook. T|ie.v had gone down there the first few summers they were married, then their prospects had brightened and they began to sa to other places where h^pp) youth congregated. ' Roger tried un successfully to sell the old home, gave It up and hired somebody iu the neighborhood to biik after it, In the stress of life he seemed to have forgotten It--until aow. She wondered what had taken him down there. It was sunset when she reached tli* small «wayside station at which sh( alighted. Rwger was waiting for Iter. "Do you mind walking?" he said. "I couldn't find a conveyance. But It isn't far cross-Iota." t He carried her bag and they walke.l through the fields by the well-worn path, which was so narrow that sue had to follow behind niiu. The summer smell was in the air, the field* were daisy whit?, buttercups goldeu, a bobolink rose out of the grass, a mouse ran away as they approached. The old home, its windows blazing with sunset light, welcomed Milly. it had been left Just as they bad used it those lirst few summers--bits uf .old furniture were here and there, yellowed prints on the wall, faded draperies. Yet It was clean. Mrs. Peak had attended to the spriu^ housecleaning. And Roger had buUt a fire iu the fireplace, whicb he liiia-. self had .constructed out of field atones. Close to the fire was drawu a small table and ipon the tuhle wa* •upper--fresh rolls, baked by Mrs. Peak, boiled eggs, butter cowMe* and a teapot waiting for boiling wuter Jrom the teakettle, which wa* sing ing on the hearth. "It take nie back twenty years.'" Mllly ;aid. Sbe poured the tea with steady hand, but her b&rt was troubled. Roger--there was some change in him. She had seen that the Instant her glance fell upon his blessed 'face. - HYou Uk« it, then?" Roger said. He buttered a bit of roll, but instead) of eating It laid it upon his plate. Milly looked into his eyes. D( course, I like it. You remember, dear, it was your own idea--not coming here any more." "Well--we were young and we liked i stir. Theee places at the seasbsr* and the mountains we went to furnish us with the amusement we both enjoyed. But now--we are getting on in years, my dear." "Yes,"' Milly waited. She knew with the unfailing premonition of her love that Roger was slowly preparing her for something. 0 t "This wouldn't be so bad If the house were fixed up a bit It wouldn't take much time or money--" "I should love to do my bit toward fixing it up, Rojer." He smiled at that, "And then--It wouldn't be bad just to live here for a year or two, say." "It wouldn't be bad to live Iuto ^Always, Rpger. You know how 1 feel. Anywhere with you Is home." He reached across for her hand. She placed her slender fingers in his broad palm ami he squeezed them. His kind gray eyes were a little dim. "Suppose--" he safd. nit her hesitatingly. "suppose--I'd lost - uiney and we had to economize from now on b. living here? You wouidu't mind, Milly?" So that was it! A crushing load lifted from her heart. She had been afraid of something so different--that Roger's health had been undermined hy those long years of work and struggle. She laughed. "What Is money? We can do with very little. Just let me show you what I can d6 tvith a sack of flour! I haven't forgotten how to make cake and blircuit, let me tell you, Sir Roger!" ^ At her t «e, light aa ft happy girl's, his«face brightened. ' "If you have lost your monfcy I hope you won't make an effort to regain it. Please, Roger, don't go back to that grind. Let's stay here and r..ls3 vegetables and posies and re>ad and walk and "play pinochle and--and get acquainted again. You don't know how hard It has been for me to give you up to your world and live lonely in mine." And now tears were In her dark eyes though her lips were still smiling. He arose, went to' fhe window, looked out, blew his noee and came back to put bis arm about her shoulder. "The t.*uth is this, Mllly," he said. *'I have lost dome money, but not enough to cripple our Income seriously. It's only that I am tired. And being tired my thoughts have b^en playing pretty hard around this old place where I was a boy. I've hankered after It until I Just had to come and aee it. And now I'm here--I don't wont to leave. I suppose that's one of the penalties of age .--to yearn after the old scenes. I waut to fish in the brook and pick strawberries on the side hill and listen to the crickets In the grass. I-- I want to Uve over my boyhood. That's It, really. Can you understand. Milly--dearest wife?" Could sbe understand? She put her arms about bis neck and drew th^ gray head close to hers, pressed her soft cheek against his tired fare. In the blessed silence that followed their hearts caught step again.

If MNC LAKDNEft To the Editor: It takes all kinds of golf players to make a world in the good old summer time, but along about this time of yr. they's only 2 classes you might say. namely haply mafad men and guye that can afford to go South. The 1st named ha? got a big advantage in many ways. For Inst, they don't half to spend from 1 night to a wk. in one of them new fangle Pullmans witch some people jokeingly calls a sleeping car. I could go on and name a whole lot of other advantages witch a marred man has got <S"f they was any. Oo the other hand cthe bachelors goes South In the winter and can golf all the yr. around and are right on their game when the season opens up north wherea? the men with baggage has got to begin all orer agaih every May, and it generally always takes them till the 1st of Nov. to find out what is the matter with their game. Well, anyway, last sprlpg I_hadn't no more than mastered the nack of getting off the 1st tee in 2 when they was a nation wide clamor for a good reporter to write up the big subjects of the day and I had to spend most of the fall in the rough, namely the World Series out in old Pittsburg and the one out In New York. The net results was that 1 didn't really start to begin to commence my golf till the central part of Oct. My brother marred men will say yes, but what are we going to do about tt? Well gents I don't know what you are going to do about It but personally I have got up a game witch I have named Hp golf, and 1 have tried It out with grand success and wile It don't give a man no physical exercise, why it keeps their mind on golf and don't allow them to forget it during the off season and when they start playing again In the spring they have at least got the language at their tongues and don't half So waste 7 or 8 wks. mastering the verbage sll over again and It can be played In the house any time of day or night and In all kinds of weather. The rules of Up golf Is the foiling: No matter what remarks the wife makes, the husband's replys Is to be given in golf parlance. That's all they Is to the rules and anybody can learn it In one lesson and the best time to try It out Is at a meal. For Inat. suppose the kiddies has been tucked away for the night In the waste basket and you and the wife has set down to dinner. Your part of the foiling conversation would be what yot might call par Up golf. AN EXHIBITION GAMS Wife--What train did you come oat on? Husband--I missed the first two but got home on my third.'

Anyhow, Chicago, which has rebuilt Its water front and done many other things at tremendous cost, has come to that conclusion, for Charles H. Cheeny, nyted American architect, rates the city as only 8 percent beautiful. That Is a long way from the ranking of Paris, France, which Is placed at the 'top of the list at 90 per cent. There is small comfort to Chicagoans even in the reflection that Paris has been beautifying herself for 800 years as against Chicago's entire 70 years of existence, most of which have not been devoted to the beauty treatment. For In the past ten years Chicago has spent mote on the deliberate effort to become beautiful than Paris has spent in 800 years. There must be something wrong with the Chicago procedure. -- New York Is rising in the scale of physical attractiveness, with a percentage of 15 and a promise of more if certain plans are carried out Our most beautiful city, appropriately enough, is Washington, for we all have a common Interest and a common pride in our capital. We may be disappointed in its rating of onl> 23 per cent, but we are glad it has the American leadership, for none of the rest of the cities can properly be envloUs of their queen. And we likewise are pleased that it outranks England's capital,' which is scaled at & per cent.- WEEKLV EXCHANGE ITEMS MEREST ; TAKEN FROM COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES Assortment of Newsy Items i» "V.

The most accurate method of dp* terinliilng the proper placement of the house utilises the topographical survey, which clearly shows the various grade elevations of the plot in their relationship to a datum, or established figuring point, which serves as a base for all calculations. By this means the proper drainage is established. Trees, rocks aud other things on the house site can be provided for. Most ImpArtint. however, Is the fact that the topographical survey permits the home builder to use a house design best fitted to the peculiarities of the particular lot in question. By so doing, he may add hundreds of dollars to the value of his house and grounds. While the ordinary location survey, indicating the boundaries of the plot, is good enough for the requirements and most financing organizations, the to|H>graphical survey is of the utmost importance in the matter of adapting the right house to the right site.
