HE ROCKDALE RECORD, Conyers, Ga., Wed., July 17, 1929. i: THE ;! i: IRRESISTIBLE :j i| SALESMAN <© by D J Walsh. 1 THUMP, thump, thump! Some body knocking at tlie kitchen door. Portia Watson thrust her head out of an upstairs window. “Who’s there?” she demanded. Tite face that looked up at her was so unexpectedly winning that the dust rag site was flirting over the sill es caped from her hand. As ft snow flaked down tiie young man reached up and caught It. Twisting It Into a ball, he flung it back to Portia, who caught it. The scowl with which she always greeted strangers nt this kind gave way to a smile. When Portia smiled she was mysteriously charm ing. something she had not been at eighteen. “What do you want?” she asked more gently. “You!” he challenged her, head flung back. He was colored like a ripe chestnut in the sun. Bareheaded, his shirt was open at tlie throat, his sleeves were rolled up lie grinned and his teeth flushed white 'in his ruddy, boyish countenance. “Come on down a minute, lady. I got some thing here you’ll tie interested in.” “Can’t nother. I’m busy. Besides, I never buy of peddlers.” “Come on down, please, lady!” Portia hesitated. Suddenly site left the window and ran downstairs. When she reached the kitchen door she found him playing with Smoky. Portia’s gray cat was voted a pest by the neighborhood. He caught bird lings. he scratched the tentatively caressing hands of infants, he yowled on moonlit nights. II! humored and badly behaved was Smoky at best, yet here he was flopping like a fish on the stones of the hack walk, purring at the peddler’s feet. “Nice cat !*' The boy gave Smoky a friendly mauling, lie straightened up and pushing toward Portia a baby carriage which he had taken from the green truck waiting at the curb. A wave ot indignant red flooded Portia’s face. She gasped. • The young peddler pushed the baby carriage hack and forth before his prospective customer. It was woven of reeds and it had cunning peek windows in its tan-colored top. Smoky curled about the wheels of the vehicle. At last lie leaped into the carriage. Portia darted agonized glances at the adjoining houses. Mrs. Grant and Maria Cole were noth out, but likely to return home at any instant. If either of them saw her she would never hear the last of it. She thought wildly of rnnning In and slam ming the door in the boy’s face. But there was a look in his eyes that con vinced her that tie would thump on the back door until she came out again. By that time everybody in the neighborhood would know that a ped dler was trying to sell Portia Watson, spinster, forty years old, a baby car riage. Better to buy the thing and get rid of him quickly. “How —how much is it?” she asked weakly. He gave a price that was reason able. Portia ran and got her purse. She emptied the contents on his brown paint. One cent short, but he let that go. “Anybody at home next door?” he inquired. “N-no. But you can sell a carriage at No. 8 Oak street if you hurry right over there,” she panted. “Thanks. I’ll do that." Be leaped toward the green truck. Portia dragged her purchase Into the house and locked the door. Al most at that very instant Mrs. Grant drove home, with her Maria Cole, whom she had picked up downtown, where they were both pursuing their morning's marketing. Saved! Portia sank limply into a chair. She snatched off her pink dusting-cap and with if wiped away beads of perspiration from among her curl-pins. Conscience began to stir. Why had she sent the peddler to No. 8 Oak street? She tried to think why that particular spot had leaped into her mind. It was a casualty. She hadn’t the least idea who lived at No. 8 Oak street. Twenty minutes before Portia had been contentedly putting her bed room to rights. Now everything in her life seemed to be upside down. If only she hadn't looked out of the window into a pair of dark eyes, which made her remember keenly something she, hoped she had forgot ten long, longfago. She must get rid of that baby car riage. Her club met at her house that night. There was no place to hide the thing from the dozen women who would swarm all over the place. Portia dashed upstairs. She wrenched her hair from cnrl-pins, did it in a neat way. She powdered her nose, changed her clothes.* Hack downstairs, out to the shed, where she kept the old touring car which her brother had left behind for her when he married. Ordinarily she hesitated to put the breath of life into the ancient engine, but her very des peration now tent her courage. She hacked the car up to ttie kitchen doot;. When she had covered the baby caf ringe with a blanket she hoisted ft info the tonneau. At least two pairs of wondering eyes watched her as she whisked away. Portia raced for open country. But wtien she reached a lonely spot the engine went dead. Portia cot out and Inspected tlie works, stie didn’t have mucii idea of them. Site looked around for a house. None tu sight. But in a distant field was u man cutting grass with a mow ing-machine drawn by a pair of black horses. She waved to Itim frantically. He ran to her rescue. When he climbed over tlie stone wall into tlie road beside her site nearly collapsed. They stared at each other .in astonishment, neither expect ing to find the other there. But lie spoke casually. “Having engine trouble, Portlu? Let’s see il i can help you.’’ It was their first meeting In twenty yeurs. Maria Cole had whispered into Portia’s ear something about Charlie Uusseli which Portia bad been silly enough to believe. Site had pitched into Charlie. He had sent both her and Maria to the worst place he could think of. He was through. After that there were no more happy eve nings for Portia, no more happy things for her hope chest Charlie married another girl. But before this hap pened Portia had learned that Maria had lied out of jealous spite. After rummaging through the en gine Charlie shook his head. “I’ll tell you what you better do, Portia. Let me tow you over to tny place. Tisn’t far, just out of sight round tlie bend. My boy Frank’s a crackerjack nt machinery. Lie’ll be home to dinner. That’s pretty soon now.” Portia had to consent. But she did some tall thinking while Charlie hastened after Ids team. She was miles from town. Also she was miles ifrom Emmy Hutson’s, to whom stie was taking the baby carriage, Emmy was poor and she bad just had a baby. The black team, led by Charlie, tugged the car, steered by Portia, through a busy lane, up to a pleasant white house. “There you are!" Charlie laughed. “Now, I’ll just tell our housekeeper that she’s going to have somebody be sides Frank and me to eat her chicken and cherry pie this noon. Come, have a seat in the porch hammock, Portia. You took warm and tired.” The same old Charlie, a bit domi neering, but oh, oh, so kind. Portia sank into the porch hammock. Emo tion fluttered her. Stie hadn’t heard that Charlie’s wife was dead. But there were so many Bussells in that locality, the fact might have escaped her. Or, possibly, it had happened while she was out West with her brother Jim last year. Thunder of wheels. A green truck whirled out of the lane into the door yard. Out jumped the peddler. He sow Portia. “Well, say! Am I seeing double? Or is it you, lady?” And now Portia understood every thing. This was Charlie's son. No wonder she had found him Irresistible. “That old hen you sent me to chased me off tlie premises," the boy said, grinning. “You’re some little liar.” In the end it all come right. Frank not only fixed Portia’s car, but he de livered the baby carriage to Emm.v Hutson. On the screened-in back porch there was a regular dinner party. “Frank’s a whiz at. peddling," Charlie said. “Earned his own col lege money that way. He could sell a fur coat to a Sandwich Islander.” The chestnut-brown boy and the woman with frosted dark hair ex changed an understanding smile., Small Inhabitants of Salt and Fresh Wate* “Unquestionably the smallest fish and the most diminutive of all verte brates,” was the description given by Dr, Albert W. Herre to a liny Philip pine goby, barely three-sixteenths of an inch long, which he discussed in an article in Science. This Liliputian fish Inhabits the tidal creeks near the town of Maiabon, a few miles north of Manila. Only 75 specimens are known to science. The three-six teenths in size of the male is what wins the championship for tininess among backboned animals. The fe male fish Is o bit longer, reaching a little over a quarter cl an inch. Both males and females are very slim, and their bodies are particularly trans parent, the only really visible parts being their large black eyes. Another species of goby found in a fresh water lake is only a trifle larger. This Species is much more abundant, how ever, and is captured in millions by tlie natives and used for food. This fish thus has the distinction of being the world's smallest commercial fish. What Is a Billion? In a race to count a billion, Ameri cans would always beat Germans, and Frenchmen would defeat Englishmen. Why? The answer is easy, says Pop ular Science Monthly. It has nothing to do with the ability of the contest ant.?. it is merely because in Ger many and England a billion means a million million and in France and tlie United States it means only a thou sand million. At a recent world power conference, held in London, papers were read by scientists from many countries. They spoke in terms of billions that meant different values. Delegates were con fused and misunderstandings arose. A question that must he settled in the near future is: How much is a bil lion? Fly on Windscreen “Do you mean to tell me you couldn't see Jie coming on a straight piece ot road like this?” said the owner of the very small car after the collision. “Sorry, guv’nor," said the lorry driver, “I thought It were a fly on me windscreen.” Australia Pictured as “Land of Opportunity” An American salesman, who lias spent several years in Australia, says that it is no uncommon tiling for a man by farming to accumulate suffi cient money to warrant ills retirement in that country in ten years. Tlie land is tlie asset of Australia. Farmers can start with little or no capital and in ten years can amass sufficient com petence to retire, lie said. He can take up 2,(XX> acres at 50 cents to $5 per acre, and can get advances from the National Agricultural hank with which to make the improvements. The farmer lias 30 years to pay off is farm, and the interest Is only 5 per cent. Tlie first five years lie is not required to pay any interest at all. No man can take out more than 2,000 acres in his own name, but lie is allowed to take out that much for each of his sons. Tlie great problem of the country, however, is labor. The native labor is of n very indifferent character, but tills is largely overcome by tlie use of agricultural machinery, and tlie machinery from tlie United States is the most favored by the farm ers of Australia. Rabbits to Help Out Meat Supply of Russia The chief officials of tlie Russian commissariats of agriculture and trade at a meeting in Moscow with tlie col lective farming organizations of the It. S. F. S. R. (Russia proper) have decided to rely on tlie rabbit to sup plement tlie scarcity of meat that is expected to last for the next few years. The conference appointed a special committee of high officials, who were instructed to produce between 2,000.000 and 3,000,000 “pedigree rab bits” during the present year, and to superintend tlie construction of state factories for the mass production of canned rabbit flesh, rabbit sausages and rabbit pasties.—San Francisco Chronicle. You and Me Little Charles was learning tlie al phabet. “Now, this is big U,” said his moth er, pointing to the capital letter, “and this one beside it is little u. Can you remember that?” “Oh, yes,” tlie child replied confi dently. The next day Ids mother pointed to the same letters again. “Can you tell me this morning what these letters are?" she asked him. Charles’s face beamed with pride as his chubby little finger pointed to the bold letters in his book. “This,” he said, “is big me and this s little me.” Some Fine Forest Land The outstanding forest in New Eng land is tlie White Mountain National forest. During seventeen years, since 1911, the federal government has pur chased forest land in tlie White moun tains. It has acquired now 514,000 acres, or 803 square miles. Much of it is virgin forest, says Nature Magazine. There aie 61,000 acres in which an axe was never used. Has Changed Meaning Tlie name “Patagonia” was first used to designate all tlie southern part of South America, Hut is now used to designate the region bounded on the north by the Rio Limay and tlie Rio Negro, the Atlantic on the east, tlie Strait of Magellan on the south and the Andes on the west. “Her Weight in Gold” Betsy Hull is tlie heroine of a nas rative of Colonial times which relates the fact that her father placed her in the container on one side of a large pair of scales and balanced the scales by pouring into tlie corresponding con tainer shining gold pieces.
