I'm going down to have a look at. it, .sir 'Can I lend you my arm*" "I have my crutch thanks," 1 snapped Taft, and Harvey showed down his pace to that of the lame man. They came to the fence separating Taft's estate from the encroaching jungle. . Taft stopped when he saw the "flamingo" was. a' young girl, wearing a tattered, fjock of rosy cotton. "What the devil are you doing here?" "I hated to come--it makes me ill to trespass on property that should be my father's inheritance, when . he is dying--" she choked inarticulately and compressed her lips. "Dying?" whispered Taft fearfully. "Charlie dying?" Harvey Roberts saw the tragedy in the young eyes, as the girl turned slowly and crept through the fence. •' Then she turned her pretty face toward them and cried out: "What a poor, meager-souled old man you are, Grampus! Not even a blessing ^ for your dying son!" She fled through the wooded path, like a brilliant rosy-clad animal and after her went Harvey Roberts, running fast to catch up with the girl. He caught up with her in the woods where she had sunk down on the doorstep of a ramshackled looking cottage. "Miss--er--Flamingo!" gasped Harvey, "what can I do for your father--quick, tell me!" * "Doctor -- medicine -- food!" she murmured, gasping for breath. And she looked after the young lawyer as he ran off at top speed to take care of her instructions. Then she rose and entered the cottage to tend her father. A man's thin form on a cot turned at the sound of footsteps. "Grandfather could not come, Daddy darling, but he has sent a young man to do the errands -- the doctor wilL be here any minuterrested?" HOW= MEISSEN OR DRESDEN CHINA WARE WAS DISCOVERED.-- If your pride and joy is in your collection of beautiful china, you share your ( hobby with royalty and wealth. China has interested discriminating people not only because of its beauty but because of its interesting career. Augustus the Strong of Saxony was the patron of the chemist who discovered how to make Dresden china. It seems that an apothecary's boy, by the name of Bottiger, composed a formula that was reported to be transformable. into gold. He was locked in . his laboratory and c o m m a n d e d t o m a k e g o l d . . . the poor fellow nearly lost his reason at this assignment, writes Elizabeth Boykin in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Friday, August 28--We were off on our trek westward. The morning hours were spent in crossing the fertile lands of Illinois. Noon found us almost to the "Father of Waters" which we crossed at Savannah and throughout the afternoon traveled,, the flat countryside of Iowa, stopping for the night at Harlan. Our second day out finds us following along the Piatt and the Union Pacific railroad through Nebraska. Our map showed us we were going along the Piatt though we never did see the river until we crossed it that evening at North Piatt--and what a r river.

FRENCH- V COLD WAVE AND -II t , * piNOW HIT HERE MONDAY NIGHT The coldest night of the fall season was recorded here Monday night when the mercury fell to about 15 degrees. Snow, which was blown by a high wind, covered the ground, but was melted by Tuesday night. The snow and freezing . temperatures made travel dangerous and pavements slippery with wrecks piled up along the highways in every direction. While driving from her home at Pistakee Bay, Mrs. Minnie Sherrard How to Preserve Foliage to Hold Beautiful Colojr The color of autumn foliage is so fleeting that one grieves.to see it i pale "from scarlet to brown. However, its brillian<y may be preserved for a long time by cutting sprays and putting them into vases filled with half water and half glycerine: Foliage has been known to hold its color if dipped in hot wax, but the-wax would likely attract the dust to the broad surfaces of the leaves and a winter bouquet made in this manner would not be very sanitary. Berries may also be preserved by painting them with gum arabic or varnish. The Stems must be completely cohered. The handsome fruits of the mountain ash, or rowan tree, may even be kept until Christmas, if they are carefully packed in a tight tin box. It is best to bury the box in the garden deeply - enough so that it eannot freeze, pressing the soil firmly around the box. The fruit should stay in good condition for Christma* decoration. ^ How to Get Antique Fiiish ~ ~ To achieve a fine, rich and soft effect, use an -antique ^finish. Care must be taken to get a worn and mellowed effect of age by applying the finish more heavily in corners, and grooves, on logs, around knobs and on chair backs. On large flat surfaces the finish is used very lightly. Antique sparingly or not at all when you wish to give the effect o" high-lights.- The antique finish is a semi-transparent color o' a darker shade than the ground color. Raw umber of a mixture of raw and burnt umber tvjll serve the purpose. When the foundation coats of the furniture ariT iRoroughly dry, the antique colbr is applied and then skilfully wiped away with soft rags leaving traces of the antique finish just where you deaire -it. are you feeling Presently Harvey Roberts arrived with the doctor, the medicine and a large basket of provisions. There was a rustling sound outside and then the form of Mr. Taft appeared at-the dooF^of +he cottage. "Grampus!" cried Roslyn, and ran to help him into the house. Harvey Roberts felt he had served his usefulness and he returned to Taft's house, leaving the old man to make peace with his family. Surely, ' Harvey thought, now they would bring Taft's son to the house. That would arrange things properly- so that Taft would have an heir at his death and cer* tainly Charles was deserving. He wondered if he would ever see Roslyn again before she became just another society debutante. At the snake fence he stopped while he thought of her natural beauty. A sudden rush of air, and there she was. With one jump she was perched on the top rail of the fence. "Please let me thank you!" she. aaid. ... ... "It was nothing. Will you be com to New York soon?" ; "Perhaps in a few weeks I'll be •l>le to make the trip. I'll find you rHsomehow!" she said, and then disappeared into the thicket. It was some months later when tbe office boy brought in a white card on which was scribbled "Miss Tiamingo." Harvey remembered Instantly. But it wasn't until two years later • '-- •• • • How to Grow Hdpbs Indoors Savory herbs growing in the garden may be brought indoors for the winter and planted in flower pots or window boxes in a suhny window, says a plant specialist of the Department of Agriculture. l*)uring recent years there has been revived interest in--aromatic iierbs for flavoring soups, meat dishes and salads, and it is a great convenience to be able to pick a few savory leaves rigfrt in the kitchen. Mint, thyme, terragon, sage, dill, chives, Watercress are popular. tains, since scenery was what we were out for. Monday found us heading south into Colorado, so famed for its natural beauty. Down through Fort Collins to Loveland, traveling in a marvelous irrigated fruit belt. At Loveland we turned west through Big Thompson Canyon, to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Parle--grand roads and grand scenery* We had the thrill of driving over the highest mountain pass in the country, Trail Ridge Road, elevatiorf at the summit 12,186 ft. Storms were brewing atid We rode through clouds part of the way. Stopping near the top, we looked down on Iceberg Lake, a deep, greenish blue pool, with icebergs floating in it. Over Milner pass, elevation 10,760 ft. Right at the summit is a small lake with an outlet which flows east into the Piatt River and to the Atlantic Ocean. Within a hundred yards is a spring fed stream which flows to the Colorado River and into the Pacific Ocean. Just after this we should have turned off the main road to go to Grand Lake, but it had started to rain in earnest and we began to think about getting settled for the night, so on we went to Route 40 and found a dandy cabin in the mountains. This was the only heavy rain we esting lecture on the Mormon religion. We drove Up Emigration Canyon where Brigham Young brought his followers from across the plains and mountains, through two and one half years of hardship and privation, with the promise by devine guidance, to lead them to the land of milk and honey. When he saw thisM,beautiful valley stretching out before him, with a lake, a river and sheltering mountains on all sides; ! he turned to his little band of followers and said, "This is the Place." There is a monument up there with an inscription on it which reads something like that. i From Salt Lake City we turned south for Bryce Canyon National Park, through Provo and along the Sevier River, through Sevier Canyon into Red Canyon and to the rim of Bryce Canyon, arriving just at dusk. That evening at the Lodge we enjoyed a lecture on "Our National Parks," given by one of the rangers and a fine show, put on by the help, who by the way, are all college students. The next day we spent seeing the canyon and taking pictures. Bryce Canyon is the gem of them all, in beauty of rock formations and color.
