Marlon Caruthers looked up, nodded fb the porter, quickly stuffed the magazine she was reading into her grip and put on her coat and hat. A moment later she was standing on the platform watching the train pull out. "Miss Caruthers?" said a pleasant voice, and Marlon saw before her a middle-aged man with bared head. "I'm Thompson, the principal of the school where you're going to teach." "How nice of you to meet mc," she siiti. "I'm awfully glad you're the principal-because I know I'll like you.** "You're very young, Miss Caruthers," he mused, glancing up and down her trim little figure. "lies, this la my first school," sheadmitted. 4'I hope you'll like It; we do. Well .lust get home In time for dinner," ha continued. "Dinner!" she gasped. "Why,N up home we always have dinner at six o'clock." "We're Just ordinary folks down here. Guess yottH have to make allowances." Mrs. Thompson met Marlon at the door and gave her a warm welcome. "So glad to see you, dear. Are you very tired! How do yoii like our country? Dinner's Just ready. I'll show you your room so you can take off your thing*." When Mrs. Thompson came back down stairs she and her h As band had a hurried word in the hall. "Isn'| she attractive!" said Mrs. Thompson. "What lovely eyes^ and such a quick Infectious smile.**' "Yes, but I'm afraid she's too young to manage children in a country high school. Had absolutely no experience." Their comments were cut short by the entrance of Marlon and they all hurried into the dining room. "Biscuits?" said Marion qutsslcally at the dinner table. "Up North we have bread--bake Wednesdays and Saturdays." "I'm sorry we have none," said the professor quietly. , "And you serve string beans with pork," Marion went on in amazement. I never saw that before." the time the meal was over Mrs. Thompson felt that her well-cooked dinner had fallen short of the mark. The following day school began and Marion was busy all the rest of the week getting things organized in her classroom. At the first parent-teachers' meeting she nearly had an open tilt with one or two of the mothers. She just could not make them see. And, worst of all, she had a feeling that they did not understand her. There was only one person in Pennelton who did and he was John Hamilton, the Latin professor. Fall slipped Into winter and the students at Pennelton county high pegged away. Marion had enjoyed the holidays Immensely. Professor Hamilton's mother had invited her over for dinner, after which they had gone on a straw ride and had supper at a distant inn. It was a jolly crowd. Then there were two dances and Marion had made a decided hit each night. Still she did not feel that she was one of them. There was always a slight coolness about these people that was apt to freeze suddenly right In-the middle of a conversation, and without a moment's notice. Southern people were nice, but queer DO queer. No doubt about that And now spring had come again and soon Marlon would be going back home, and for some peculiar reason she was not sure that she was glad. She had made a success of her teaching and Professor Thompson had been unstinted in his praise of her work. The parent-teachers decided to give a parting banquet In honor of themselves and to commemorate a most successful year's work. Marion put on her best evening dress and looked her stunningest as she sat beside Professor Thompson at the long table. Mrs. Burton rose and began to make speech. "This banquet," she said, "Is In honor of Miss Caruthers. Everything on the table has been prepared by a northern woman we coaxed over from Delton and the recipes all came out of a northern cook book. We wanted just once to do something down South as they do it up North, and--'* Oh, forgive me," Interrupted Marlon, jumping up. "I see It all now, but I never realized how tactless It was. That's what's been the matter. What a little beast I've been! Would it help to make amends now if I tell you I love the South and the people and the cooking and everything, and I did so want them to love me. If you ever hear me say up North again I hope you'll run me out of the county. That's what I deserve, anyway." Flushed and breathless, she dropped Into he; chair again. "Yes, I'm certain Miss Caruthers feels every word she's said about liking the South and all that," said Professor Hamilton, rising, "because she--• she's going to marry me!" "Jack, you--I never--" But the rest was lost In a round of applause and the banquet table was almost upset as the crowd rushed fopward to congratulate the happy couple, while Professor Hamilton congratulated himself, on his brilliant coup d'etat. Nothing Ftsey I*. G. Wodehouse exploded the tikewry that a theatrical photograhper's life must be a happy one, filled, as It Is, with beauty. Wodehouse ended this Idea, as far as I am concerned, by writing a short story about a photographer who got so sick of beautiful women that he married .the homeliest one he could find--and was happy with her. Well, if photographers become calloused to beauty, so do their Employees. I was in one high-priced gtudio the other day, gazing at some of the 185 poses for which a certain actor and actress married had made in one colossal ly vain sitting. In walked the photographer's office boy, returning from lunch. "Look what I had made," said he to me. And he showed me a strip of eight rogue's gallery pictures he had , made of himself for twenty-live cents In a phbtomaton machine. ' V'.V' * • * • y*f--7A New Occupation. , Wrf»:*rlter bought a new^ pw of shoes recently, and he has, I suppose, the Same dread that most wearers of shoes, especially men, feel towards breaking in brand new ones. With this in mind, he remarked tQthe clerk: "You ought to hire a man with tough feet who would break In new shoes for your customers." To which the clerk replied: "We often do that in this store. A lot of customers leave their shoes here and have us wear them around for a few days so that they will feel easier when they put them on." If there is going to be a lotvof unemployment, breaking In new shoes might be an occupation for the birds whose feet are not tender. ' , * • • A Simple Filing Method One very successful newspaper publisher and a friend of this writer's, has the most peculiar system, of filing of any man I have ever seen. It Is simplicity in Itself. He answers a letter and files it in the wastebasket. He never keeps any files and depends entirely on his memory for facts. If any question comes up, he asks the other man to send him a copy of the letter. * * * A* Undignified Calling One br the so-called professional strong men, who rehearses every day tp the gymnasium was exhibiting his muscles to Bud Fisher, the cartoonist, recently. "Just feel those muscles," he said, as he flexed his biceps. "What do you think of those?" ' * "I don't want to feel your muscles," replied Bud. "Let me feel your head. It's what you have above the neck that counts. If your muscles are that good why don't you go out and get $300,000 for fighting one of those bums around here?" Much crestfallen the owner of the muscles answered dejectedly: "It wouldn't be dignified." * * • Nothing Could Be Less So, Ho Meant He was a writer, and he lived In New York city, and he needed quiet for his work. That apartment hunting was a problem of manifold difficulties la those circumstances goes without saying. He couldn't be near the "L"; he couldn't be on a street where there was heavy trucking; new building going on in the same block with any apartment ruled tl"t apartment out; and the necessity for paying only a moderate price' added to the trouble. The writer, beaming with satisfaction, was just about to sign a lease. "And you know, mister," said the superintendent, no less pleased, "we furnish a radio free with every single apartment And when they all get going around here nothing, could be cheerfuller." (Q by tha Bell Syndicate, tee.) "Charm School" Teaches What Spoon to Use Knoxvllle, Tetfn.--A "charm school" has been made a unit of Boyd Junior high school here. Students are taught how to behave on street cars, decipher railroad time tables, use the telephone and numerous other "every day" tasks. "Table manners, simple rules of courtesy, answering formal dinner Invitations," are among subjects listed to be studied. Chess Without a Peer in Line of Amusement^ Chess !s the king of games. It* subtlety and scientific beauty is without a peer in the line of amusements. For centuries the sport has constituted one of the principal diversions of kings, statesmen, painters, poets and captains of industry and commerce. It has been universal in Its scope and without restrictions among peoples, creeds or countries. This Intellectual pasting frequently has been suggested as a cure for a few of the world ills. Students of the game are of the opinion that it develops thinkers, brings to light genius and encourages mathematical calculations. The dull brain Is stimulated Into flaming activity; young minds are schooled to think clearly and concisely, while the old brain is rejuvenated. It is a mental solvent that contains those Ingredients that make the eye sharp, the spirit calm and the disposition unruffled. In brief, chess ta a mysterious science dealing with profound problems. Like golf, the game takes possession of the mental faculties and diverts them from their ordinary grooves. The absorption and abstraction afforded constitute a panacea for the cerebral organ wearied by business or frazzled by cares, the latter being neutralized by the foresight demand- •d.--'Kansas City Times. - - ARMYTOTESTS OS BY PLANE'S RADIO Nova Scotian Island Dreaded by Mariners Every year. Sable island, on the coast of Nova Scotia, has had Its tale of disasters. During the war between ' the French and the 'English, troop j ships were known to be dashed to. pieces in the terrific breakers. In 1746 ^ the Due d'Anvllle lost a transport and a fireshlp In a severe storm near ^.the island, and in 1761, one of the vessels that had been with Wolfe at Quebec was wrecked. A curious tale is told about the latter. There was an old landmark on the Island In the form *of a pyramid of sand a hundred feet high. In 1842, during a fearful hurricane, this was completely blown away, and where it had stood were some small huts built from the timbers of wrecked ships. The huts contained articles of furniture, bales of blankets, some military shoes, and boxes of other goods. A brass dog collar that was unearthed Ibore the name of Major Elliott Fortythird regiment. This was the regiment wrecked in 1761. and examination of the records showed tlf'at the soldiers who had been saved from Wolfe's transport had been taken off the Island. The site of their old encampment is now under water. Donkey's Wonderful Fool The foot of an ass is one of the most ingenious and unexampled pieces pf mechanism In animal structure. The hoof contains a series of vertical and thin laminae of horn, amounting to about five hundred, and forming a complete lining to it In this are fitted as many laminae belonging to the coffin-bone, while both sets are elastic and adherent The edge of a quire of paper inserted leaf by leaf into another will convey a sufficient Idea of the arrangement Thus the weight of the animal is supported by as many elastic springs as there are laminae in all the feet amounting to about 4,000, distributed jn the most secure manner, since every spring Is acted upon In an oblique direction. Anas and the Bishop One does not usually associate the parade* service with humor, though this conjunction occasionally happens. Here Is a case from India: In the battalion orders of a sfnart ipfantry ,regiment there appeared the following < notice: "The bishop of Lucknow will preach at the parade service on Sunday morning next All men will carry 20 sounds of ball ammunition."

"Mother" Ship to Accompany Squad to Coast. Washington.--The army air cott>s will carry out an experiment to make long distance flights safer through the use of the short wave radio when the first pursuit group wings its way over the 3,500 miles of Ice-bound country from Mt. Clemens, Mich., to Spokane, Wash., and back, this month. Should the experiment prove a success, It is understood, the army is expected to issue an order that all army planes making long distance flights must be protected by short wave radio devices. The present experiment Is to be carried out with the aid of the American Radio Relay league and the General Electric company of Schenectady, N. Y. Eighteen fast pursuit planes and a slower and much larger "motherH radio ship will be in the experimental group. The radio ship will follow the speedy fighting planes and will keep a sharp lookout for ships in distress. Every morning the radio ship will be in communication with the powerful short wave station of the General Electric company at Schenectady. That station will listen for the first ten minutes of each flying hour for 8 0S signals from the radio ship. If an S O S is sent and received the Schenectady station will rebroadcast it to the army air corps posts In the area where the accident has occurred. Also arrangements will be made to send the SOS out through regular long wave radio stations to the Northwest In order to inform people living In the vicinity. j? v TRIP FOR SWIMMERS Physical Education In Colleges, as expressed In a report read at their i |i i ' itV Iffo iifn ii- _ Morning Snooze Better Than Setting-Up Drills New York.--It is not only nicer to stay In bed, when the sun shining overhead, or howeeer Harry Lauder's song phrases It, but It is a lot wiser than getting up and going through those setting-up exercises the radio boys reel off for the hopeful.
