CALL OF THE WILD
By ETHEL W. FARMER.
I $20. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate, j
The rapid whirring of the sowing
machine stopped suddenly, and Elolse
turned sharply nround In her> chair
and faced her sister squarely.
"Are you nearly finished?" she asked
with assumed gnyety.
"Oh, no." Virginia answered sleep
ily, carefully scrutinizing the beauti
ful piece of embroidery In her lap.
"Why don't you leave It for a little
while?" Elolse tensed.
"Oh. I could not possibly do that,"
came the determined answer.
With n final, wistful glance out of
the window at the wonderful snow
covered world, the stitcher's sigh min
gled with the renewed buzziug of the
exasperating machine. But it did not
buzz for long, for she soon threw her
work aside and jumped to her feet
with a laugh.
"Come. now. sis, why not don our
beloved snowshoes anil strike off for
the woods? Let us seek some thrill
ing romance In the cold, open coun
try I I Just know that romance Is only
waiting for us. Perhaps some daring
hero will be waiting to rescue us from
some wild animal In the heart of the
woods!"
"Romance?" Virginia spoke In dis
gust. "That word was not meant for
us: And who ever heard of wild ani
mals in our woods? Elolse, please be
sensible and let me work."
"Very well, fair sister." Elolse
spoke lightly, "but I must be off for
I hear the urging call of the wild,"
and she ran happily from the room.
Soon she returned, becomingly clad
In her sport costume, with snowshoes
tucked under her arm. The bright red
cap matched the flushed cheeks and
laughingly antagonized the brlgh*
sparkle In the fair blue eyes.
"I am only answering the call of the
wild," she laughed softly, "and seek
ing my lost romance," nnd the front
door banged.
Then Virginia was. sorry that she
had so Insistently refused the Invi
tation for the hike, for her work
was already becoming tiresome. She
watched her enthusiastic sister strap
on her snowshoes and start gracefully
along, stopping only long enough to
wave a bright mlttened hand at her.
"I shall go Into the woods," she
thought.
It was not long before the open
highway wps passe11 and the dusky
woods lay before her. With a deep
sIl'Ii of contentment, she passed intt
their majestic quietness. Rut a* Mie
wandered along her Joyful spirits be
gan to lower and her thoughts wan
di-rod back to other days. She was
thinking of the many happy times
passed in these woods with Tom.
Some tiny tracks in the snow at
tmeted h.-r attention.
"Why not follow tills rnnmt trill:: |
she nvk,».| herself lightly.
Elolse wiped tin- perspiration from
her forehead and smiled nt her appar
ently endless mill, rraklng. mentally
resolving to no to the end. She iliil
not notice how ra111111v the woo,Is were
getting dark. anil tlint only 'ho til' of
tin- -nin could !••• *rt'ii below the trees.
Shi* was thinking only of following
the trail. Finally her "search was re
warded. for her tracks ended at the
stump of a tree.
She Irnniil against the tree to rest
herself. There was suddenly n rust
ling In lne nnilerliriish. She stood ter
ritieil iin-l wondered if perchance there
were any wihl animals there!
The crunching sound camp' nearer,
anil Eloise coulil stand It no longer!
With a frantic cry she started to run.
forgetting that her feet were encased
In large snowshocs. Somehow the
snov shoes Ui'anir tangled in some
half-conci : '. ,i iimtiehes and. with an
other pry. she fell headlong Into a
hank of snow. She did not dare to
move, for the sound was coming rap
idly toward lier. It was upon her! If
It were a hear. It would think that
«he were dead, but she trembled nt
the thought.
"Can't you get up?" somebody was
asking pleasantly in her ear.
It was fully a minute before she
cotilil extricate herself from the snow
enough to see if the owner of the
voice were truly Tom. Anil his sur
prise was even greater when be found
oiit who this Marathon snowshoe run
ner really was.
"Why. Turn!" she Rasped weakly, j
"Why, Eioise!" hi- echoed happily.
For a moment they eyed each other
silently, nnd then they laughed.
"Why did you run?" he asked, good
naturedly.
"I heard a rustle in the hushes." she
answered, sheepishly. "Listen, there it
Is again.'"
Tom listened, and as he rose to his |
feet with an impromptu cluh In his I
hand the gentle face of n cow peered I
at them through the branches. j
"Oh." they gasped In one breath, |
and then the quiet woods rang with '
laughter. j
"Well," Tom laughed contentedly
"I have found my cow and you. 11
know that I have been a brute, nnd 1 j
am sorry, but 1 was too ashamed to
explain before. You see. I wrote two
Important letters to you. and when
you did not answer, I thought you did
not care. But a few days ago I found
my letters in my forgetful brother's
pocket, unmailedl Now can't we fix
It all right?"
She did not speak her answer, but
when she threw her arms around her
sister's neck a little later, she was
tUOU£, :• ' - -- •
Disappointed.
"Ethel, didn't 1 see that young man
In the parlor holding your hand last
night?"
"Yen, mother."
"What was lie doing thnt for?"
"1 really don't know, mother."
"You don't know?"
"No, mother; I did think he was go
ing to put a ring on my linger, hut he
didn't."

"MAKING OVER" OLD HOUSES j
Architects Have Shown That They
Can Do Wonders With Present
Unsightly Structures.
There never was a time when the
services, tnste and special knowledge
uf the trained architect were more
needed or more in demand. The car
penter and hullder have for years been
the consulting experts in the building
of thousands of suburban homes and
farmhouses, arid let us give them
credit, at least, before the Jigsaw era,
for many beautiful and charming old
houses.
Following the building shortage In
these latter years has come an appre
ciation of the fact that any old house,
or new. be it as hopelessly ugly aH
it may lie, has possibilities. Archi
tecture has shown ninny Instances of
"before and after" of old ramshackle,
barnlike structures, altered into most
delightful homes. Old barns have
been made over Into charming studios
and living quarters, woodsheds Incor
porated Into the redesigning of an old
farmhouse. Everywhere Is shown a
wider appreciation that nothing is im
possible t<5 the architect of tuste and
skill.
The old and hopelessly ugly city
brown-stone house and the little two
or three-story brick house or stable
on a side street have been made into
artistic and attractive apartments or
studio buildings.
It Is to the architect that we owe
this renaissance and we have only
made a beginning toward the devel
opment of the -city beautiful from old
and unsightly and out-of-date struc
tures. Lest some should say that we
are dealing with merely Idealistic mat- j
ters, with our own desire for better
things artistically, we remark that in
every Instance these "artistic" Im
provements have proved the very best
of business in increased rents and
more desirable tenants. J
If the cost of new buildings has de
terred many from carrying out their
long-cherished dream of owning their
own home, there Is abundant oppor
tunity almost everywhere for the al
teration of old places at very moder
ate cost. And old houses nearly al
ways offer the nucleus of a more sub
stantial structure than many hurriedly
built modern houses put up in qttan-,
titles for speculative purposes.—From
Architecture.
CITY'S BILLBOARDS MUST GO j
Cincinnati Commissioner Prepares for
the Removal of Signs, Under -)
a Court Order.
Orders for the removal of nil bill
boards fi-ini tin? residential sections
of Cincinnati arc being prepared by
George K. llnuser, city building com
missioner. according to the Christian
Science Monitor. Comuilssloner Maus
er's action is ImSell on a recent de
cision by a Judge of tlie Common I'lens
court, tliat tlie ui'tnii ipul ordinance re
stricting billboards i> retroactive. This
ordinance requires a petition contaln
fng the consent of 51 per ccnt of the
property owners in any residential
block before a permit for the erection
of a billboard may be granted. The
Judee held that this regulation applied
to billboards erected before the pass
ago of the ordinance. Commissioner
Mauser points out that under this In
terpretation the residents of each
block have It In their power to rid
themselves of objectionable billboards
by refusing to si::ti the consent peti
tions which the billboard interests are
hurriedly circulating.
