FICTION Cotnev By BETTER EDWARD STEVENSON LATE
TX7'ELL, I’m certainly glad you’re
not seasick. When I first saw
you leaning over the rail I said to
myself that you must be seasick,
though I couldn’t see how anybody
could get seasick with the water so
cajqa ard the way it is. Our room stew¬
says that anybody that gets
seasick in this kind of weather
wouldn’t be safe on the lake in Cen¬
tral Park. He’s a regular comedian.
. . . And that reminds me, how
much do you think I ought to tip
him—the room steward, I mean?
I’m not one that don’t have to count
my pennies, but still I want to do
the right thing as to tipping.
You see, this is the first time
we’ve been on a boat—my wife and
me, I mean. Of course we’ve taken
a trip up the Hudson with the kids,
but I guess you wouldn’t mention
the Hudson River Day Line in the
same breath with the S. S. Goliath,
would you? The kids thought it was
grand, though. They’re grown up
and married now, with kids of their
own—except Judy, that is, and she
hardly had time, not having been
married quite a year yet—but it
don’t seem more than yesterday
that they were running about like a
bunch of wild Indians and getting
into all sorts of mischief. Time cer¬
tainly flies.
Whew! it’s getting hot, isn’t it?
We must be coming into the tropics
from the way it feels. Ever been
down here before, Mr. - I don’t
think you mentioned your name,
did you? . . . Arthur? . . . Well, I’m
glad to know you, Mr. Arthur. My
name’s Bentham. I’d like you to
meet my wife some time, too.
That’s her laying in that deck chair
down at the end. She’s making be¬
lieve she’s reading that book, but
she’s sound asleep. The salt air
seems to tucker her out.
As I was saying, time certainly
flies. Now, you take me. Why, it
seems it’s only the other day that
Ellen and me were getting mar¬
ried; and here we are, grandpar¬
ents of six already.
We’ve been married thirty-five
years. It don’t seem possible, but
that’s what it is, all right. Why, say,
I can remember the wedding just
as plain as if it happened last week.
It wasn’t much of a wedding—you
know, no fuss and feathers. Besides
Ellen and I and the minister there
was only the minister’s wife and
the church janitor, for witness. But
I can still see the five of us standing
there in the chapel, with the sun
coming through a high window and
falling all around us and turning
everything golden. I remember El¬
len specially. She was so pretty and
little.
When I look back, I think Ellen
and I must’a been crazy, getting
married the way we did. My gosh,
I didn’t have a cent to my name—
it was all I could do to scrape up
the money for the wedding ring.
Engagement rings and honeymoons
and all the fixings were out of reach
as far as we were concerned.
I felt pretty bad, taking her right
from church to a $2.50-a-week fur¬
nished room. A wonderful girl like

her deserved better, and I told her
so. A big wedding, a reception at
the Waldorf—the old Waldorf, you
know—and a honeymoon at Niag¬
ara Falls was little enough to her.
But she just laughed. “If I wanted
such truck,” she says, “I’d’ve mar¬
ried Mr. Astor and not Johnny
Bentham.” That’s the way she is. I
didn’t mind so much not having a
big church affair, or a reception
afterwards, but, gosh, what’s a
wedding without a honeymoon? I
mean, it made me feel kind of low,
not being able to provide even that.
You know, marrying Ellen was
the making of me. I was just a ship¬
ping clerk at the time, but she
made me study bookkeeping and

came along I stepped right in. I’m
head bookkeeper now. Of course
that isn’t so much—there’s only one
other bookkeeper—but being head
of anything is pretty good these
days, I always say. A couple of
years back when I’d been with the
company thirty-five years they put
on a dinner for me at Jack Demp¬
sey’s and gave me a watch. Here it
is. See what it says. “To John W.
Bentham”—that’s my full name—
“for thirty-five years of devoted
service. Atlas Paper & Supply Co.”
Mr. Stover, the president, made a
speech. I did too—but I was too
choked up to say much. You can
bet I’d never’ve stuck around to get
that watch if it hadn’t been for
Ellen.
And the kids, too, of course. When
you get to be a family man you got
to tend to business. Kit—that’s
short for Christopher — was the
first; then Roger, Cynthia, Anthony,
and Judy, the baby. Nice names,
ain’t they? Ellen picked ’em out.
They’re all grown up now—fine
young men and women, if I do say
so myself—but there was times
when you just wondered if they
ever would. It was just one thing
after another. Sick or healthy, they
had you up to your neck in bills.

“Johnny Bentham,” she says,
“are you out of your mind?”.“No,”
I says. “And I haven’t robbed a
bank, neither.” So I told her all
about the bonus.
Well, she still thought I was
crazy. “Spending all that money on
a little trip,” she says. “Do you
think we’re millionaires? Johnny,
I’ll never put foot on that boat.”
“Now, that’s a fine howdydo!” I
says, making out I’m insulted. “A
woman refusing to go on a honey¬
moon with her husband!"
Well, she just looked at me and
I just looked at her, and first thing
you know she threw her arms
around me and began kissing me,
and what did the two of us do but
end up laughing and crying like a
couple of kids.
“Gosh, Mama,” I says. “It’s bet¬

Book Reviews
In Brief
THE CAMPBELLS ARE COMING—
Glenn H. Campbell (Dodd, Mead &
Co., $4).
The origin of the Clan Campbell
and the history of Scotland are
synonymous and here the author, as
a bearer of the famous name, takes
the most interesting aspects of each
and has woven them into a skillfully
drawn account of the Campbells’
hand in Scottish affairs.
Liberally illustrated, the book con¬
tains historical information written
in an absorbing narrative form. In
every Scotch crisis a Campbell had
a responsible role in the ultimate
outcome. One of the best chapters
in the book concerns the story of
the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots,
on whose side the Campbells re¬
mained loyal with almost disastrous
results.
The author, an advertising execu¬
tive of Cleveland, O., took many
pains to bring his readers an ac¬
curate, descriptive history of the
Campbells. Not content with a long
and diligent research in local li¬
braries, he travelled to Scotland and
covered personally the territory
about which he writes. While the
book is of primary interest to the
Campbells themselves, many of
whom know nothing of the fascinat¬
ing background of the clan, every
individual of Scotch descent and
scholars of every nationality will
find something appealing in its
pages.
National Park Ideals
National parks in the United
States, created by act of congress,
are areas of national significance
distinguished by superlative natural
scenery, set aside for preserva¬
tion as nearly as possible in unim¬
paired condition and dedicated to
the use and inspiration of the peo¬
ple. In establishing the Yellow¬
stone, first national park, congress
quaintly designated it “a public
park or pleasuring-ground for the
benefit and enjoyment of the peo¬
ple,” and provided against "injury
or spoliation of all timber, mineral
deposits, natural curiosities or won¬
ders within said park, and their re¬
tention in their natural conditions.
In establishing national parks no
thought is given to geographic loca¬
tion. The area proposed for national
park use is considered primarily
from the standpoint of whether or
not its principal features are of
broad, national interest.

Well, last year our company did
pretty well and they gave all the
old employes a month’s pay for a
bonus at Christmas — first bonus
we’d had in years. So what did I
do? Well, I figured with all the kids
married and no one to take care of
but ourselves, that we didn’t have
any real need for the money, so I
didn’t breath a word about it to
Ellen. You see, I’d been seeing
these cruise ads in the papers and
I thought to myself that’s just the
thing for Ellen and I. Twelve days.

New Product Keeps
Potato Sproutless
Problem of Storage Now
Aided by New Methods
The sprouting, shriveling and sog¬
giness of potatoes when kept at
room temperatures now can be pre¬
vented with use of barsprout. The
treated potatoes remain firm, prac¬
tically farm-fresh, and not only
cook but also taste better. The
product is equally effective on cer¬
tain other root crops such as beets,
carrots, turnips and rutabagas.
The active ingredient is methyl
ester of naphthaleneacetic acid.
When applied to the potatoes as a
dust, it vaporizes and literally
“gets into their eyes,” keeping
them from sprouting. Feeding tests
Potatoes at right treated with
barsprout, left, untreated pota¬
toes, both held under the same
conditions.
have shown that the chemical im¬
parts no harmful effect. Tests have
been conducted for the past five
years at leading agricultural exper¬
iment stations.
By this treatment the potatoes
may be kept at ordinary room tem¬
peratures without sprouting and
without formation of reducing
sugar. Ordinarily potatoes are held
below 45 degrees and shrink 5 per
cent in weight, developing reducing
sugars which affect color and taste.

Hot weather always brings prob¬

good practices will solve most of
them successfully. Feed your flocks

water available for them at all
times. Provide plenty of shude.
