THE FIRST LONELY EVENING Madelon's heart leapt with pleas- ure at her first glimpse of her new home. She saw a rambling, brown- shingled bungalow hestling under a cascade of purple bourgainvillia. White casement windows stood ajar, and crisp, sheer curtains fluttered in the warm, scented breeze. Surrounding the house were sea flowering shrubs and careless flow- er-beds ablaze with color. Stately palms shaded the garden, and the tall hedge made of it a sanctuary as secluded as the cloister of the comn- vent she had left far behind. On the wide-swung verandas that surr ded the she caught a glimpse of capacious lounges, deeply cushioned chairs, hanging baskets filled with trailing vines. She drew in deep breaths of the scented air. "How lovely it all is," she mur- mured. Chandler sprang from the car and reached out an assisting hand. "I think it's always worth coming half around the world for," he smiled. "I hope you'M like the in- terior of the house as well. it's rather crude and mot designed for a woman: you'll probably find lots of ecmforts lacking. A bachelor, youn know, can get along with little, so jong as he has a comfortable couch, his pipe, and three meals 2a days... ... By the way, my Jap, boy- of-all-work, who has come back to lcok after us, is worth all your French chefs. You'll find him a bit temperamental though, I warn you." h | car, yellow, slant-eyed man who appear- ed just then jn the doorway. He made a funny little ducking how and came padding out to the sucking in his breath and blinking quickly as Chandler made known to him his new mistress. Madelon found the interior of her home as attractive to her taste as the exterior. She liked the eool, empty bareness of the rooms. They reminded her of the little convent room where she had spent so many happy hours dreaming of the world | to which she would someday come. The thought brought a tinge of bitterness to her smile. How diff- erent it all was from the life she had Areamed! She wandered irom room to room inspecting, appreciating, mak- ing mental notes of certain slight hanges. The room she chose for er own faced the east. The morn- ing sun, which she loved, would | shine softly there and waken her to each new day. After an appetizing luncheon served by the Jap at a charmingly appointed table set behind the vines on the screened side veranda, she set about unpacking and before teatime she felt as defi- nitely established in Chandler's island home as though she had liv- ed there all her life. it grew sultry as the afternoon sun slanted across the garden. The palm trees scarcely stirred their sabrelike fronds. The garden flow- ers seemed to yield up their very hearts to the hot caress of the sun. Across the crest of the Punchbowl, omfuous clouds drifted. The heavy roll of thunder came in from the sea occasionally, and the sky held that glazed, coppery hue that pre- sages the storm. ¢ Madelon discarded her frock, and slipping on a sheer negligee, lay down on a couch beside the open window. She slept a little, the first restful sleep she had known in days and awoke refreshed. She had a cool tub and made a careful toilet in one of her sheerest daintiest summer gowns. The warm dampness curled her bright hair in tiny ringlets about her face, and her cheeks and lips were made glow- ing and soft by the caress of the tropical' wind. When she went to the veranda Chandler was nowhere about. She could hear the Jap stirring in the kitchen in the rear of the bunga- low, and presently he brought an immaculate tea tray to the veranda and set it on a wicker table be- fore her. # There was a tray of tiny sweet- ened cakes and a strange delect- able fruit and tea, such as she had never known before. "Mis' Chandler he ne here," he ex- plained. "You tea lone." He padded back to his kitchen and left her to partake of her tea with only her thoughts for company. She forgot to be lonely, so en- grossed was she with the beauty of lier surroundings. She watched the clouds and mists disappear from the crest of the mountain and the sunlight become vivid again. She felt the cooling breath of the trade hy Rev. Father Kelly.

Burgess cannot always surely tell be ill, or all be well, -Danny Meadow Mouse. You will remember that before the setting in of winter Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse had moved up to Farmer Brown's barn They like that barn; it was a good place in which to spent the winter. The only ones living there at that time were Robber the Rat and his family and Nibbler the House Mouse. Danny and Nanny were afraid Robber, but they were not afraid of Nibbler. In fact, Nibbler was afraid of them, As for their big cousins, the Rats, Danny and Nanny knew We If all out of their way. Danny knew all about that barn, for this was not the first winter they had spent there. He found everything much as he had expect- ed. Nanny soon decided where she wanted to live and it was almost no time at all before they had a snug nest ready to be occupied. They had no worries. Robber the Rat couldn't get at them there if he tried, and he wasn't likely to try. "You see," explained Danny, "Robber and his family have all they want to eat over here in this barn. Yes, sir, they have all they want to eat apd 80 they are not like- ly to bother us. Of course we must watch out for Black Pussie; the Cal. But Black Pussy is stupid, if you ask me. She hasn't caught Nibbler the House Mouse yet, and Nibbler isn't exactly my idea of one who is really smart." Nanny Meadow Mouse began to giggle. It was a squeaky little gig- gle. Danny looked at her very hard. "What are you laughing at?" he demanded. I am laughing at the good opin- ion of yourself you seem to have," said she. "You must think you are a whole lot smarter than Nibbler." "I do." declared Danny prompi- ly. "All Nibbler has to do is to keep out of the way of Black Pussy. You and I have to keep out of the way of Reddy Fox and Jimmy Skunk and all the members of the Hawk family and all the members of the Owl family, not to mention Blacky the Crow ang Shadow the Weasel, and a few others. Of course we are smarter. But we are going to have a very easy winter here. You must admit, Nanny, that I did well when I thought of coming up here instead of spending the win- ter down in Green Meadows." Nainy was quite ready to admit this. In fact, she was hightly pleased with her surroundings. So she and Danny made themselves at home and were more than pleased with each succeeding day. In fact, Dan- ny used to tease Black Pussie by showing himself, just by way of having a little excitement. He knew all about the ways of Robber the Rat and all the members of Rob- ber's big family. It was no tfoubie lat all to keep out of their way. There was plenty to eat without the trouble of hunting for it. I was an easy life.

This she says, would be a much less degrading form of sup-| port than the existing plan, whieh makes it obligatory for divorced fathers to provide for their former wives and offspring.

PHONE 8 $1.500,000 PROFIT IN BEER Chicago, Feb. 11.--Terry Drug- gan and Frank Lake have admitted to revenue agents that they have cleared $1.500,000 net, or nearly that, while brewing beer for the bootleg market and are prepared to pay income taxes om that amount. The internal revenue bureau had billed them for taxes om a net income of $3,000,000 for the two years of their greatest activity as brewers. Through Robert N. Gold- ing, their attorney, they persuaded the tax colectors they actually earned less than their books seemed to show, it is understood. Druggan was quoted as having said he wants to square things with the government so he can go respectably into the real estate business in Chi- cago. 'Railroad records and customers' receipts, collected by the government men in a six months' hunt for evi- dence, were the basis of the tax claint - against the two hoodlum brewers. It has been said the re- cords show that. three Chicago poli- ticians were getting a split in the profits. How much the tax on the two gangsters will amount to in the end government men refused to say. Nor would they say whether the shrink- age in profits was laid to levies made by politicians. The money spent by! Lake and Druggan on jail guards! and others for special privileges during the year they spent in and out of the Cook county jail wasn't
