diary, to Thursday, March 17th
wrote, “It shall be done.”
Whereupon she rose, jammed
cerise hat on at an angle entirely
obscuring the right eye, ran a lip
stick abaudonly across her mouth,
put a dab of Dorine upon her nose,
and, with a hasty glance at hot
chic dirninutiveness reflected in
the mirror, Hung herself out of her
bedroom, down the stairs and into
the waiting taxi.
“I want you to go to the Algon
quin Hotel, and I'm in a great,
great hurry.”
“Yes, ma’am,” answered tin*
driver, mindful of his training,
though he wished to say: “Child,
you have too much straw colored
hair flying about. And your hat
is indecently covering your eye.
And your lips arc painted. And if
you were my Marigold, J would not
so much as let you out of my sight.”
Nevertheless, lie drove as rapid
ly as policemen and traffic would
let him, while she sat bolt upright
in the exact center of the cab. One
of her hands clasped the other, and
were it not for her youth and .the
joyous tilt of her features, she
might have looked tragic. She
felt tragic, and like a Trojan wo
man and like Anna Karenina and
like the poor little rich girl and,
most of all, like slapping John’s
face. John was her husband.
She got out of the cab and enter
ed the Algonquin Hotel. She had
never been there before, and the
strangeness of it increased her do
termination. She jerked her cerise
hat still further over her right eye
and inarched up to the desk. And,
though the desk clerk was young,
and had blond curly hair and peerv
blue eyes, he did not deter her.
She spoke loud, distinctly, and
with sustained breath,
“Mr. Payson S. Clark is staying
at this hotel. Kindly tell him
Mrs. Milton is here.”
And the desk clerk, in turn
mindful of his training, but wish
ing, the while, that he might say,
“Oh, my dear child, go home to
your husband, or let me tell you
that you are lovely—lovely as a
Greuze painting," answered,
“Mr. Clark will be right down.”
She nodded her gratification,
and, turning, walked over to one
the blue plush sofas.
As site sat down, the elevator
door opened and Mr. Clark emerg
ed smiling.
“Mrs. Milton! 1 kept hoping I’d
get a message from you —up till
six o’clock I thought there was a
chance. Then 1 decided you hadn’t
the nerve ”
“I haven’t,” she interrupted.
But I’m going to do it anyway.”
And the desk clerk, who was
watching them, couldn’t make out
the situation at all. Why was
this Mrs. Milton of the pipquat
features and bewildering clothes —
why was this charming lady look
ing so serious? And what had it all
to do with Mr. Payson S. Clark, fea
ture writer of a New York paper?
He had always considered Mr.
Clark a hard-working young man —
to be sure, he sat at the weekly
rouud table with other members of
the inteiligensia while they ate
frugally and talked voraciously.
Still, talk was harmless enough.
And he had never before been in
the company of a woman, lie was
not of the variety that the desk
clerk termed "tea-toilers.” And,
then. Mrs. Milton looked so e.xeit
ed, and —yes —a little frightened.
It was obvious she was doing some
thing that she shouldn’t be doing.
And Mr. Clark was smiling. If
only she hadn’t beeu Mrs. Milton!
After all, in spite of her guileless
appearance, she had a husband.
Perhaps, if the desk clerk had I
been nearer, he would have felt re- 1
assured. Perhaps not. For Mrs.
Milton was at the moment saying:
“He wouldn’t switch his trunk
rouud into my lap for peanuts,
would he? Of course 1 love an cle
My Georgia Land.
Oh My Georgia Land, My Georgia Land,
With pride upon thy who rex i stand;
1 he wonder ot thy hill* survey
And catch thy song birds’ rounde.ay:
J watch the ripple of thy hills.
My heart w ith love and rapture thrills;
A fjlorious heritage is mine,
\ royal native child of thine.
CHORUS.
yh, Georgia Land, Fair Georgia Land
To thee J pledge my heart and hand.
My life, my all at, thy command,
My own, dear native Georgia Land,
Tiiou sovereign State to thee I sing,
' highest tribute to tiiee bring,
n thee my fervent prayers ascend,
i nut God thy every need attend
Some rearer glory dotly appear,
I'o bless thee with each changing year,
The fairest page in history.
The one that tells thy fame to me.
For God and right thou e'er hath stood.
Thy creed a Christly brotherhood.
The world has learned to know thy fame,
And hearts rejoice at thy dear name.
Thy royal children e’er shall raise
Their voices clear to slug thy praise.
In word and deed to honor thee.
Thou mother of the brave and free.

alive than any other part of him.”
“Oh, no; he won’t do that.”
“Well then, it’s settled. And
I’ll be there tomorrow night. You
are really a dear and are helping
uie a lot.” Here she shook bands
with Mr. Clark, and looked up at
him gratefully, and as directly as
her hat would allow.
“And you are helping me, Mrs.
Milton,” answered Mr. Clark, and,
as he accompanied her to the door,
he added, “Until tomorrow,
then ”
“1 will be there,” she replied,
and this, overheard by the desk
clerk, convinced him that she was
pledging her word to something.
And, indeed, she was.

HIKING DOWN THE
LONG BROWN PATH
Vacationists With Shelter Tents
and Tin Cow Learning to
Walk All Over Again.
Oh! It'* not th#* pack that you carry on
your back
Nor the rifle on your shoulder.
Nor the Five inch crust of khaki-colored
dust
That makes you feel your llThbs are
growing older;
And it’s not the hike on the hard turnpike
That drives away your smile,
Nor the socks of sisters that raise the
blooming; blister!—
It’* the last long mile.
—Plattsburgh Marching Song.
Stringing out from the suburban
transit terminals of New York every
Sunday and holiday goes the army of
klmkl-clad hikers. There may be an
automobile for every twenty of the
country’s population, but a host of
city folks disprove the theory of a
future leg-enfeebled citizenry and are
learning to walk all over again.
To the more casual minded, the hike
Is just exercise, but to those who
catch its real significance the hike
means a great deal more. It is the
cheapest form of recreation and
therefore appeals to those living in
crowded districts and unable to avail
themselves of the more expensive
amusements. And these people, be
It noted, are just those the country
Is so anxious to have spread out and
settled in the farming sections. The
hike, Indeed, has possibilities as a
real starter for the "back to the farm”
movement.
Doughboy and Boy Scout Lead Way
Just a brief survey of the rollicking
groups which move off froth the out
lying terminals on holidays estab
lishes a few general types. There is
the ex-service rnan and ids friends
who will hear from him the story
of more serious excursions on the
muddy roads of France. He tight
ens a strap here and another there
on the blanket roll adjustment or the
"shelter half,” in which the commis
sary is packed for the mid-day feast
by the roadside. Expert directions
come from him on the method of
slinging the pack so it will not feel
so heavy or Interfere with the free
body movement. He will pass along
the information gained In his army
days, of how that same pack was
evolved after numerous experiments
to tind the easiest way of carrying
the heaviest load. With results tie
now compliments, but which tie char
acterized when a doughboy as a
"blankety-blank total failure.”
Then there are the boy scout par
ties, adept at everything pertaining
to “shanks mare” traveling and wood
craft. The ex-service man and the
boy stout are pioneers in the hiking
game. listen to one of them right
off the train and making ready for a
twelve mile jaunt: "Oet that can
teen over to the side, Jimmie, and
it won’t keep bouncing off your leg
every step. Is It filled? Well, then,
we drink. How about the eats? Let’s
check ’em off. You got the spuds,
Bill: the bacon Jimmie. Who has the
coffee and the Borden tin cow?”
“Right here,” announces a freckled
comrade of the road, patting his knap
sack. “Snitched the mocha and the
can of milk when Sis wasn’t looking.”
“Well, then, let’s go!” snaps the
commander of the expedition.
This party Is traveling light for real
distance. Another must expect to
make a shorter hitch or else be count
ing greatly on Its power of endur
ance. Perhaps the camp is not far
off because the group is equipped for
an over night stay with heavy blanket
rolls, hatches, lanterns, canvas wa
terpails, rubber ponchos, kettles, pots,
new tangled firestand, etc., etc. The
blankets are laid out for n better
packing of the bags and cans of food.
When the party commences to load
up the members bristle all over with
camp tools and equipment.
Back to the Farm
The veteran from the crowded city
tenement has found a new territory
to roam and one almost unknown to
his associates. He is introducing them
to this newly discovered land and
teaching them how to he Independent
of any transportation but their own
good legs and of any subsistence but
what they can carry and prepare.
“Walk, and cook your own,” is his
motto.
Who will say the leaven thus fer
menting in the city crowds will not
bear fruit In a keener appreciation of
country delights, especially as these
are added to by increased comforts
on the farm. With his radio hitched
up, the farmer listens in on the best
entertainment the country has to
offer. Modern home devices wipe our
many hardships formerly imposed
upon Isolated dwellers. There is, in
short, a rapid cutting down of the
differential between farm and city
life.
In the meantime, knowledge must
precede a true appreciation of what
the country holds, and this is what
the hike supplies. There is more ap
peal in one apple tree in blossom than
in reams of printed matter put out to
induce the citizen ot the city to
change his abode to the country. The
hikers constitute a growing army,
equipped with bacon, spuds, coffee
and tin cow for merely a day’s outing
but nevertheless seeing sights that
make them yearn to be among them
alt the time. It is not too much to
assume that the army may one day
recruit the open piece*.
