STARE’S { 1 WONDERFUL £ 1 GIFT I ********* **^^*******:**** ((El by D. J. Walsh > 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. ■■ l * - * 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.
