Thehree Brookes exchanged glance; “Ho®,” said Constance, “you will or- and serve strawberries to morroworning.” “Hon,” said the efficiency man, in equa calm tones, “if you order and sei strawberries tomorrow morningm will pay for them out of your owpocket, after which you will be fid.” Horacooked appealingly at his mistress, he bit her lip, but made no furtheiemark. So endethe fixed rule for a gay breakmastH. Hedge had irrevocab ly smasheit. The three Brookes gav e his alienee for the remainder of the me. It cheered them none to observehat the efficiency man ate the stwberries. Out in b hall an immaculately ;arbed mai Matilda, stood holding! Alice’s hat and coat and a bundle of school-bookes. “Hurry, now, Alice; you’re late again,” chided Constane. "The car has been waiting ten minutes.” Alice flung herself caresessly into a garment of fur, jammed a rakish little hat over her ruddy hair, seized her books and raced toward the door. It was swung open for her by Hor ace, the butler. Down the front steps of the Brooke mansion she leaped, three at a time, crossed the pave ment in two bounds, and plunged through the open doorway of a mas sive limousine. A footman swung himself into the seat beside the chauf feur. A second later the fifteen thousend-dollar English motorcar was rolling impressively up the avenue. Hedge had followed as far as the front door and saw it all. He watch ed until the car disappeared around a corner, then returned to where Constance and Billy were still stand ing. “Does it take four persons to send Alice to school?” he inquired briskly. “Sometimes six or seven,” remark ed Billy caresessly. “Any objection?” Hedge ignored the poorly disguised contempt of the inquiry with which Billy tipped his answer. “No, I desire to see you and your sister in the library,” he said, and led the way. Constance whispered to her broth re, motioned him to follow the ef ficiency man, and then hurried up stairs to the telephone in her boud- oir. Mr. Hedge displayed a surprising amount of patience when, after ten minutes, Constance had not made her apperance in the library. If he felt any annoyance he concealed it. He devoted the interval to the work of examining a pile of papers on the center-table. Billy Brooke had set tled back in a great leather chair and was smoking a pipe. Ther e was a glimmer of amusement in his eyes. Presently Hedge looked across at him. “Perhaps your sister has forgot ten I wished to see her,” he re marked. “Oh, I guess not,” yawned Billy. “She’ll come when she gets ready. And then you’ll get yours.” Constance arrived soon and her brother glanced up expectantly. He was not heartened by the look that he found in her eyes. They were bright, but troubled. Her cheeks were far redder than they had been fifteen minutes earlier. She spread her hands in a helpless gesture and nodded her head slowly. “It’s true, Billy,” she half-whis pered. “No!” “Yes, Billy; true.” “You’re sure, Connie? No way out?” unmistakable anxiety in; Billy’s voice attracted the attention of Hedge, who studied the brother and sister with plain interest. They seemed for the moment to be oblivi ous of his presence. “No way in sight.” “Who did you phone to?” “The Efficiency Company, first,” said Constance. “They confirmed it. Then to father’s office. They said he’d gone away and didn’t know where, or if they do know they won’t) tell, which is just as bad.” TABLEWARE We have just added two new patterns in Sterling Silver— The Louis XIV and the Carpathia.

AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER Joe Williams Signs Up for 5 More Years Laughter \ .... „ , ..-rcX:-\ A lx* -■ - ~ I-S- V ; o k mwws \ «> JRs**' I S a -w -j** ii ' I I tv -MP’. ■ The nature of the paper which Jim Williams is singing in the above picture is the explanation ot why Jim breaks over the comic page into the news columns of (The Times Recorder) today. For Williams, famous cowboy car toonist in singning a contract. It’s a contract guaranteeing to The Times Recorder and other NEA Service clients for five more years tne keen wholesome and unique bus iness interest which William packs daily into his comic page drow ing, "Out Our Way.” Soldier, railroader, cow-puncher, machinist—Williams knows lift and human nature from the bottom up. Mirroring that knowledge, his ver satile pen and ink never fails to get a laugh or two. Constance nodded. “They know that man was to be sent here,” she said wearily, “and say that father ordered it. And they said they would only communicate with him in a matter of life or death. Those are his orders, too.” Billy Booke groaned. “But Connie—what the blazes are we going to do?” At this point the efficiency man made entrance into the conversa tion. “You’ll do as your father wishes, of course,” he said. “It’s the only sensible thing to do. These are his orders, that’s all. Thank you, Miss Brooke, for having satisfied yourself and your brother that I am possess ed of full authority. Now. we’ll talk business.” Billy looked doubtfully to his sist- er. She met the situation by sitting down and waiting for Hedge to be gin. "And speaking of business,” ob served Hedge, turning a steady gaze upon Billy, “What’s yours?” “Mine?” ' “Certainly., When do you go to work, and where?” “I don’t go,” growled Billy. “Is it a fact that this grown man does not work?” demanded Hedge, his question addressed to the girl. For the first time since his entrance into the house the efficiency man showed symptoms of emotion. Constance was silent for an in stant. In nearly all things she was a stanch champion of her brother. In this she was not. She was not proud of him as an idler. “My brother does not work,” she answered in a low voice. “How old are you?” asked Hedge, turning again to Billy. “Twenty-two, if that’s any satis faction to you.” Billy’s attempt to display indif ference was poorly executed.

There is a grass and tree-growth tumulus near here that is 60 feet high and more than 300 feet in diaireter. Tra ditional legends say it contains a stone chamber in which are the re mains of an unknown king, lying on a couch between two white horses. In 1870 an attempt was made to open the mound, but falling earth prevent ed the completion of the work. Arch aelogists are now preparing to make a fresh attempt to test the truth 1 , of the tradition.
