OLD MANGLESON picked up
the scrap of paper from where
it lluttered in front of his
broom. He had raked it out
from underneath the doctor’s desk,
crumpled, tightly folded, torn at one
end. He spread it out clumsily. If
there were words on it he would save
it. He knew enough for that, at least
It seemed to he a puzzle of some
kind; not a prescription, nor a bill,
nor a receipt—nothing of importance
—just child’s scribbling, lie regarded
it dully. It might he a puzzle, in his
youth tie had been fond of puzzles and
sums and so on, but this was beyond
him.
“Dot one-half. Pug 10,000; Carrie
one-eighth of remainder, which equals
35,000. Balance to Knight. Grand
Rapids, Michigan.”
Balance to Knight! After all, this
might be important. He looked at the
date at the top of tfie scrap of paper
,H June 1. And tills was July 17. No,
this account must have been balanced
long ago.
Mangleson put the paper into his
vest pocket. Later, whep he had fin
ished with the sweeping, he would sit
out in the alley by tlie garbage cans
and figure it out.
The doctor;, arrived in a great hurry,
lie did mot speak to Mangleson. but
that was nothing new. was In
clined to tempers, especially in the
morning. He went straight to his
desk, unlocked and tallied out the low
er drawer, drew it out completely and
rested it on the floor. He fumbled
among the loose papers in the drawer,
then turned suspicious eyes upon
Mangleson.
“You been monkeying in my desk?”
he demanded.
Mangleson’ leaned trembling on his
broom. “Me? No. sir. For what
should I be monkeying in your desk?”
“Well, get out, you make me nerv
ous. You should have had your work
in here finished long ago. Get on out.”
Not until lie was in the hall outside
the office did old Mangleson connect
the doctor's temper with the scrap of
paper in his own pocket. At Mrs.
Schultz’, where he roomed, it came to
Ills mind strongly that the doctor had
lost something. It was even possible
that the scrap in his own pocket had
squeezed out at the back of the lower
drawer, as valuable papers have a way
of doing. He drew it forth and stared
at it intently:
“Dot one-half. Tug 10.000, Carrie
one-eighth of remainder, which equals
.
Oh, fractions! He never had been
gobd at fractions. He would ask Lena,
Mrs. Schultz’ daughter, to figure it out.
Lena worked in a 10-cent store down
town. She ought to be good at frac
tions.
He found Lena sitting in her moth
er’s kitchen with her shoes off, resting
her overworked feet.
“Here. Lena, do this sum once,” he
invited. “Dot one-half, I’ug 10,000,
carry one-eighth of remainder, which
equals 35,000. How much is the sura
of the whole answer?”
“Wha' deyah mean—dot an’ pug?”
demanded Lena, and held out a skin
ny hand for the scrap of paper from
which Mangleson tiad read the for
mula. He gave it to her. She studied
it carelessly and returned it to him.
“It ain’t no sum,” she decided.
“A puzzle, then?” he suggested.
Lena looked at the paper again and
again handed it back.
“It ain’t no puzzle. It ain’t nothin’
—just a memorandum somebody has
scribbled.”
Mangleson was relieved. “Oh,” he
grunted. “The doctor was mad in the
office this morning because lie had lost
something. 1 was afraid it was this
here. But I couldn’t let him see me
take it out of my own pocket,—”
“What made you put it in your
pocket?” demanded Lena sourly. She
was tired and had no patience with
the old fool Mangleson.
Mrs. Schultz came and leaned over
for a glance at the paper. Mangle
son’s last statement had caught her
attention.
“He was mad, was he? Maybe it
is something. I will take it with me
tonight and show it to Mine. Stare.
She knows everything. For a dollar
she will tell you where to find your
bead bag or the name of the woman
who is getting your man away from
you. Maybe she will write your boss
a letter and say. ‘You have lost a pa
per. For a dollar I will tell you where
it is.’ ”
“No,” said Mangleson, “it might lose
w. my job. I’ll take it tomorrow
morning and put it !n under the desk,
and let him find it himself.”
“Don’t bother,” advised Lena, “That
paper is nothing. It mTist have been
something else he lost.”
“Well, it may be the paper he lost
and was mad about,” persisted Mrs.
Schultz. "Better let me take It to
Mme. Stare and let her find it for him.
You would let a poor woman like Mme.
Stare earn an honest dollar off a rich
man like your boss, wouldn’t you?”
To this class argument Mangleson
yielded reluctantly.
Thus it happened that two weeks
later Doctor Itebas received an omni
bus command from Mine. Stare, the
clairvoyant, to call at once at her of
fice for an interview, or prepare to
take the consequences.
Old Mangleson happened to be in
the doctor’s office when he received
the summons, but he did not connect
the doctor’s fit of frightened rage with
any of his own. In fact, the memory
of that scribbled memorandum bad
left bis added old head entirely.
So imperfect were Mnngleson’s pow
ers of education that it was not until
the doctor had begun serving his sen
tence for embezzlohient that tlnj old
man sat In tho alley by the garbage
cans and painfully spelled out the
story spread upon the first page of the
city daily; read how Doctor Rebas had
come down from Alaska on the same
boat with an old acquaintance, David
Wentple h.v name; how Wemple had
died 30 suddenly that he had had no
time to make a regular will, hut had
left ids money and a memorandum
with tiis friend and physician, Doc
tor Rebas, telling him what disposition
was to he made of the $!H>,0()0 which
he. Wemple, carried on his person;
how it was to be divided among his
relatives; how the temptation hnd
been too great for Doctor Rebas,
knowing, ns he did. that Wemple’s rel
atives believed the old man to be en
tirely without means; how the wonder
ful powers of divination possessed by
Mine. Stare, the clairvoyant, had been
the means of meting out justice to
Doctor Rebas, and giving to Miss Dor
othy Wemple of Grand Rapids, Mich.,
her inheritance of S4S,<XKI, and to her
brother, Algernon (familiarly known
as “Pug”), $10,000; Mrs. Cnrrie Hogue,
sister of the deceased, $4,375, and the
balance of $30,025 to his nephew,
Knight Wemple.
The paper told of the strange vision
which had come to Mine. Stare, reveal
ing to her Doctor Rebas’ whereabouts
on the first day of June* on the boat
the Gray Gull, between Juneau and
Seattle; how Wemple, his friend, had
died on the same boat on June tli6
first; how through her extraordinary
powers of divination she hnd been en
abled to locate Wemple’s relatives, and
to bring the matter to a happy termi
nation,’ that is, happy to everybody
save Doctor Rebas, who didn’t deserve
anything better.
This termination was especially hap
py to Mine. Stare. The heirs remuner
ated her handsomely, and ever since
the Rebas trial her office had been
crowded with persons eager for infor
mation in regard to husbands, wives,
lost dogs and digestions.
Old Mangleson murmured, “Well, by
gracious! That Stare woman must he
a great fortune-teller—that Stare wom
an must!”
Disease, Not Old Age,
Cause of Trees’ Death
The question is often asked: Do
trees die of old age? And do trees
have a definite age of maturity; for
instance, do they attain a height or
growth that they do not exceed?
These questions were discussed In
a communication to the Pathfinder
Magazine from the Smithsonian insti
tution. 1
“No close parallel exists between the
maturity of plants and animals.” says
that authority. “A man. for instance,
reaches his maximum height at a com
paratively early age. In fact in later
years his height may, and usually
does, decrease somewhat. In trees,
however, as long as the plant is alive
it continues to grow. After it lias
readied a certain size (depending on
the species concerned and on a varie
ty of other factors) the rate of growth
slows down.
“In the matter of longevity, there
is again no parallel. Trees do not die
of old age. Their death results either
from accidental occurrences or dis
ease. The disease usually takes the
form of wood decay of the trunks, the
supply of water and food from the
soil being thus shut off.”
Government Whitewash
Slack one-half bushel unslacked
lime, kipping it covered during the
process. Strain It and add a’pffck of
salt dissolved in warm water, three
pounds of ground rice which have
been put in boiling water and boiled
to a thin paste, one-half pound ot
Spanish whiting, and a pound of
clear glue dissolved in warm water.
Mix these well togetheh and let the
mixture stand for several days. Keep
the wash thus prepared in a kettle
or portable furnace and put it on as
hot as possible.
Reel Tragedy
In the dusk, the face of the woman
appeared pale and wrinkled and old.
She walked falteringly, slowly. Not a
soul came to her aid, although two
or three glanced at her with pitying
eyes. For the last time, she arose and
began her Journey forward, stopping
at intervals and looking into the dark
with peering, searching eyes. i
Then, suddenly, in the midst of
her despair, she gave up and took
a back seat.
The only usher at the community
movie theater wa§ out.

Superlative Beard
The longest beard recorded In his
tory—or at any rate up to the time of
the publication of Arvine’s Cyclopedia
in 1883—was that of John Mayo,
painter to the Emperor Charles V.
Though he was a tall man, it is said
that his beard was so long that he
could walk upon it. He was‘proud of
it, and usually fastened it with a
ribbon to his buttonhole. Sometimes
he would untie it at the command of
the emperor, who took great delight
in seeing It blow in the faces of his
courtiers.
