A Birthday Adventure By LILY WANDEL {(CO, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Avon) had put the tiny apartment In order, bathed and dressed herself, and then wondered how on earth she could kill the long day ahead. She had been married a little more than a year, and outside a few friends of her husband, who did not interest her, she did not know any one In the City. Each day passed as the one be fore —a little housework, a lot of dressing and a round of shopping or rending. She was frankly tired of the department stores, and her eyes stung from too much reading. She was more than bored; she was suffering, longing for companionship; some one congenial and Interesting. Today at least must be different, for it was her birthday. The frown disappeared, and a smile curved her pretty lips as n bright idea came to her. Skipping to the phone she called her husband's ofllce number. “This Is Avorn, Herbert. I’m aw fully lonesome, honey; how about our having lunch together at some nice place?” Her voice vibrated with eagerness. “Sorry," came hack the answer, “but I have an appointment with a business friend at the cluh, dear." She hung up the receiver slowly, her chin quivering not so much from disappointment ns from the monot onous view ahead. Then quite sud denly she tossed her head pertly. "Why not pretend,” she laughed— "pretend that I'm going to meet some one for lunch and be happy in the expectation!" She sauntered slowly along the sun lit city streets, enjoying the crowds, the early summer breeze and most of She Was More Than Bored. all the silly little pretense of meeting somebody for lunch. “Now let me see; where will I meet my phantom companion? Oh, I know; in the lobby of the Albermarle, where Herbert and I have met occasionally." And she walked on carelessly, happily to the hotel. For awhile she watched with en vious eyes how one woman after the other smilingly welcomed her escort, husband or friend and disappeared to gether in the nearby dining room. Then she was attracted by a young man entering the lobby. He had a pleasing appearance ami was immacu lately dressed; he interested Avora. Ills glance went around the lobby searchingly. then stopped and looked at her keenly, so that the blood shot into her round cheeks. Me advanced, smiling confidently and Avora, con fused. not sure just what to do, found herself smiling back. It flashed through her mind that here \\lfc an opportunity for a half hour's inno cent amusement—a break in the run of monotonous days. When he came near murmuring, “You remember me, don’t you?” she nodded cheerfully and made room on tile settee for him to sit down. He was a most entertaining talker. Avora listened fascinated by Ids ac counts of his travels in South Amer ica. She found herself asking ques tions and making laughing, witty re plies. He told her about Buenos Aires, he spoke of the wealth of the city, the wonderful public works and buildings. He spoke so convincingly that Avora, who had been always bored with any thing pertaining to Latin America, found herself keenly interested. "Tills is not hearsay,” he went on. “I have been there lately. It is a wonderful opportunity.” “Fpr what?” asked Avora. “To invest," answered the young man earnestly, though unexpectedly. His companion drew hack puzzled. “The city has Issued some new 6 per cent bonds; they are wonderfully se- cured. It is a safe investment, etc.’* If he had suddenly drenched Avora in ice water he could not have chilled her more thoroughly. And under it the burning mortification. He hud chosen her as a possible customer for his bonds and she had fallen for his smooth talk. Instantly, she rose to her feet, ad justing her fur. “I have, an appoint ment,” she remarked icily. He accompanied her to the street, still talking about the bonds. “I don't ask you to decide now. Here 1s my curd; look me up in a day or so. If there is anything I can do for you or explain—” She Ignored the proffered paste board and nodding courtly, disappear ed In the early afternoon throng. When she reached home panting with Indignation she paced the floor filled with mortifying thoughts and threw herself, wretched with self-re proach. across the bed. Conscience began to prick, too. so that finally the only relief was to decide# to tell Herbert about it. It was odd, though, she thought with just a touch of vani ty, “that he would take me for a woman of wealth!” And that com forted n little. “Herbert has talked to me about investing that little legacy Aunt Harriet left me. but I never could get Interested in bonds and things.” She put off telling her husband till after dinner, and then when they were seated cozily In the little living room she found It very difficult to begin. It had happened so naturally, but to tell about it made the whole thing seem very common ami ridiculous. “Herbert,” Anally in a faltering voice, bending low over a bit of em broidery. “a man—a young man—was telling me about Argentine bonds—" “Oh. yes." Interrupted her husband, looking up from his via per. "that's so. Well, how did you like young Rigby? Nice, smart boy? Hid you remember him?" Avora looked up open-mouthed, then “No—l mean—” topped, feeling very foolish. "I told him, ten to one m.v wife won’t remember that I Introduced yon one day In the broker’s office. I told him to try our apartment first, and if you were out to try the shopping district; also might try the lobby of the Albemarle. Where did he meet you?” "Albemarle,” answered Avora weak ly. “Herbert, did you want him to sell me a bond?” "Oil, I don't know, dear. You see. your voice sounded so lonesome over the phone, and after you had hung up I remembered that it was your birth day. Young Rigby just happened to come in and I told him to look you up and try to Interest you in some investments.. I thought It would help you to pass a lonely day, dear. 1 tried to get you on the phone, hut your line was busy." Ills wife rose, with face averted; there were tears in her eyes. "I lmted to think of you all alone on your birthday, dear," added the husband cheerfully. “But come over here, Avora. We ll make it up tomor row! How about going out to tile country? Might look at some little bungalows In the suburbs. I think you would get acquainted very easily there and not he so lonesome, eh?” Avorn cuddled up on her husband’s lap and pressed a kiss on his cheek. LONG RECORD OF BLOODSHED Emperors of Japan Have Met Deaths of Violence From the Begin ning of History. There is probably no nation In the world that has ever treated Its em perors so cavalierly ns Japan has done to within the memory of living man, Raymond M. Weaver writes in Asia. Emperors have been deposed by doz ens, emperors have been killed in gen erous numbers. One, Yomei, was stabbed without ado; one, Sujin. was assassinated by an emissary of .the prime minister; the young Anotku was thrown into the sea to die like a rat, and it is piquant rumor, whispered in intimate circles, that Knmei, father of the late Emperor Mutsuhtto, died not of smallpox, as is the official report Junnln Tenno was strangled on the Island of Awnji, and one imperial per sonage (Oalgo II) managed to escape from the distant island to which he was relegated, hidden under a load of dried fish. The number of crown princes slaughtered is too numerous to record. In the fourteenth century two rival houses defied each other for a period of 5S years, and the present emperor is descended from the branch branded by later historians as Illegiti mate. Ko Moranao, a worthy of the fourteenth century, is credited with having told his followers to “take the estates of the emperor if they wanted eslntes. A living emperor is a mere waster of the world's substance and a burden upon the people. He is not nec essary, but, if we must have him. a wooden efligy would answer the pur pose.” For centuries the government was in the hands of the mayors of the palace, who set up oue infant sov ereign after the other, deposing each as he came to man's estate. From 129? to 1304 there were actually no less than five ex-emperors living at oue time. Just Like the Peacock. Although the American redstart is a little bird only five and a halt inches long, it has one trait in com mon with the gorgeously plumed pea cock. namely, ttiat It seems to be very fond of its handsome plumage, and is constantly spreading its tail feathers. The redstart's colors are red. orange and white, and later on it attains the black portion of its plumage on back, tail and wings. PEARSON TIG DUNE. PEARSON, GEORGIA.
