THE MERRY-GO-ROUND CI UB.
I was once a member of a very in-•
Wresting club -the Merry -Go -Round
Book Club. We met one a month at
the homes of the various members.
The first meeting was at the `home
of the woman whose name began with
A, and so on down the line, -hut a
hostess could exchange, days with an-
other member if desired.
When the club was formed there
were sixteen members. The only dues
.aid conditions were that each person
should purcha. e a standartl hook of
fiction.
•
A committee was, appointedwho
compiled a:list of books to start with.
This list was discuest7c1"`at the first
meeting, a few new ones suggested
and then each of us chose 'a book to
purchase.
At the next meeting the book: start-
ed the rounds: Each one having read
hrr own book passed it on to the mem-
A CLOSE SQUEAK
BY THE HIRED MAN.
PART II.
That afternoon we started to fill
the big haymow: The Boss always.
took the job of .filling the big fork--
seemed
ork-seemed like he could get twice as
much up at once as any of the rest
of us; he'd get it jammed full of hay,
then give nee the signal and stand on
the fork till it would start for the
upper regions, then he'd hop off, as
unconcerned as you please. It was
dangerous. I was back of the barn,
driving the team that was hitched to
the big cable. Two more men were
up in the loft, stowing the hay away
as the big fork dropped it. Then it
would start back, looking for all the
world like a big spider with its legs
doubled up under it... None of the
men saw the, accident. The little
Missus happened to be watching from
the back porch and I heard her
seream. I dropped my lines and
sprinted, but she beat me there. The
fork had struck him on the head,
making a mighty ugly -looking wound.
He never moved and at first I thought
he had gone the Road, but his heart
was still beating.
We got him into the house and in
no time old Doc' Smith was there and
—Doctor Tom was with him! I never
k'iew just how that happened.
Things were mighty serious. A
ticklish piece of operating had to be
done. The old doctor wouldn't even
attempt it, but he put it up to Doctor
Tom. Seems the old man knew all
about the young one. He put the case
before the Missus for her to decide.
She just said, "Save him if you can,
Tom!" and then things began to move
lively. I haven't the slightest idea
how long it took. When there's an
operation on hand, the folks who are
waiting always have time to go
around the world two or three times.
The little Missus at first was nervous
as a witch but towards the last she
just sort of wilted and sat there, still,
with her head in her hands. Doctor
Tom told me to stay close in case they
wanted anything, so there I sat and
twiddled my thumbs, and kept up a
steady thinking. I've always said that
if I had the say-so as to who does the
most good in the world, preachers or
doctors, the doctors would come oidt a
snap and a grab ahead. It seemed to
rete that Doctor Tom's work of saving
the man who was making the woman
he—Doctor Tom—loved, absolutely
miserable, must be just about as
tough a job as a man ever tackled.
After about ten years, Doc' Smith
came out and sat down beside the lit-
tle Missus. "Everything went nicely,
and we hope for the best," he said
"Wilson is a marvelous surgeon and
has done everything that can be done.
Now we can only wait results and be
patient. We are both rather exhaust-
ed—do you suppose you could make
us a cup of coffee?"
No one ever heard of Doc' Smith
being "exhausted." The coffee -making
was a prescription for the sake of the
little Missies!
While she was in the kitchen, we
ber whose name began with the letter
of the alphabet next to hers.
As the meetings came only once
every month this gave ample time for
reading the book. The books were
never discussed for fear of spoiling
the pleasure of those who had not yet
read them. So the authors were dis-
cussed. Each member answered to
roll with some interesting fact about
the author selected. Light refresh-
ments were served. L. E. B.

0/Huard's Linirneitt for Dandruff,
carried the Boss to the bedroom and
Doctor Tom sat beside him, a finger
on his wrist. I was watching him
out of the corner of my eyes as I
passed the open door. Cool as a cu-
cumber, he was, only a little pale. I
just thought, "Old boy, if you've turn-
ed the trick, and saved his life, you
ought to be elected the High Grand
Supreme Past Master of all the doc-
tors!"
The little Missus brought the coffee.
Doctor Tom, took the cup in his left
hand and drank it without . losing
touch with that pulse. Never gave the
Missus a glance, And he sat right
there all night. The Boss might have
been his only, long -lost brother. Once.
he had me sit by the bed and watch,
while he called up a doctor friend of
his in Kansas City to tell him to send
out on the next train the best nurse
he could ,find. The only time he spoke
to the Missus was when he ordered
her off to bed like she was a little kid.
"You're worn out, little girl—go on
to bed now and don't worry; John
here, will stand by to -night and if
there is any need we will call you at
once."
She minded him.
It was just daylight when the Boss
opened his eyes. Naturally he couldn't
sense what had happened. Doctor Tom
told him just enough to keep him
quiet but his ' eyes kept wandering
around the room as if he was looking
for something and when the little
Missus came to the door it was plain
to be seen that she was what he was
looking for. He reached one hand to-
ward her and, when she put hers into
it, he dropped off to sleep like a baby.
She slipped away as soon as she
•could and I watched him while Doctor
Tom went out for a breath of air. I
sat there looking at the big outline of
the Boss under the white cover and
wondered what in the Sam Hill -makes
us sorry for six feet of cussedness
just because it happens to be hurt
and helpless.
The nurse came that afternoon.
Doctor Tom went back to town. He
looked sort -of petered, which wasn't
to be wondered at considering that he
hadn't had a wink of sleep the night
before, and I guessed he didn't get
Imuch the night before that, judging
from the frame of mind he was in
when I was hid in the pump -room. He
was back bright and early the next
morning to see how the Boss was com-
ing on. His face made me think of a
mask. It was for .all the world like
he had' slipped something down over
it to keep us from seeing the real feel-
ings that might show.
The Boss improved right along.
Doctor Tom came out from town two
or three times a day and the nurse
was right on the job. The Boss didn't
have much to say but the way he
watched the little Missus was moving.
It reminded me of the way she used to
look at him when she first came to
the ranch.
The Doctor stayed over in town for
about a week. Seemed like he had for-
gotten all about his rush to get to
Denver. I was busy keeping up the
farm work and didn't see much that
went on at the house.
One day at noon the Missus asked
me to hand a new screen door for her
and I was just finishing when Doctor
Toni came forshis regular afternoon
call. The Missus had just come out
of the pump -room with a glass of
fresh water for the Boss when the
Doctor went up on the porch. I was
trying the new screen, admiring the
smooth way it worked and heard him
say, "About one more trip will be all
that will be necessary: I think I shall
come out late this evening and,' if
everything is still favorable, I shall
leave the case with Doctor Smith and
catch the early train for Denver,"
The glass of water slid out of the
Missus' hand and smashed but I don't
think they noticed it. I took just one
sideways look at them—she looked
like she had gone limp all over, and
as for him-well—the mask had
slipped.
I moseyedto the barn pronto, with-
out even gathering up my tools. I had
a hard proposition of any own to
thresh out. Just what life would mean
on that ranch without the little
Missus, if Doctor Tom should persuade
her to go with him, was a prospect
I didn't care to face.
I usually hit the hay about ten
thirty but what with wondering and
worrying all the afternoon, I had the
bust -head good and proper. " Being no
,hand to grunt, I didn't• say anything
about it but along about nine o'clock.
I went to my room and went to bed
thinking maybe I could sleep it of I
hadn't any more than got settled
when Doctor, Tom and the Missus
came out of the kitchen door and stop-
ped under a tree not far from my
window. They were talking ,real Tow
but nny big ears couldn't help hearing.
"Tom," she said, "when you came I
hated him. If you hadn't tried to
save hind, I should have despised you!"
Then Doctor Tom said, very low,
"Nell, -there is just one thing I would
rather have than your love -and that
is your respect. If. I' had lost that, I
should feel'I had forfeited my dearest.
possession. God grant your days may
be brighter hereafter. .And now I sup-
pose it nnust be—good-bye!" There
was a huskiness in that ruinbly vliicM.
"Toni!" Something in her voice
made me want to swear or kill sone-
one.
"Yes,,
"Tom, I haven't been . kissed for
three years! Do you suppose just once
It would ... help me ... I'm.
sure . "
I felt like yelling at the top of my
voice, "Give her a good one, Doc! I'll
stuff the sheet in trey ears !"
Now nobody but the Lord and me
knew about the kiss.. As for me, I
wouldn't have blamed her if she had
gone with him' right •then and there to
Denver or to the end of the .world.
And the Lord surely, knows (since,He
made 'em) that women just naturally
must have a little love and tenderness.
That kiss was a pure and holy thing,
that would, as he said, help her,
Anyway I'know I could be a good deal
bettergrasshopper if I could have
just one of hers to dream about the
rest' of my days. But . . glory be
She's going to stick! And from the.
look in the Boss's eyes, things , are
going to be different. But it's my
opinion that he is going to have to do
some plain, old-fashioned courting if
he ever wins her back.
On. second thought, I don't believe
I'll burn this. Pll send it to some
editor and maybe he'll polish it up,
wash its neck and .ears and comb its
hair and put it in his paper. ,It might
help some other Boss to see that if,
he never takes time to love is wife a
little, there's usually some other fel-
low who will. And not all people in
this world care so much for plain
respect as Doctor Tom and the little
Missus.

NEVER
before in the history of the auto-
mobile industry has such car value been
possible. And it is possible now, only because
the Chevrolet Car and Chevrolet business prin-
ciples have been so universally and so favorably
received. Chevrolet production has, as a result,
rapidly grown in volume until now Chevrolet
is the world's largest manufacturer of quality
automobiles..
Chevrolet quality is more than apparent. For,
-_ the more closely Chevrolet is examined and the
more severe the tests demanded, the more con-
vincingly is Chevrolet quality demonstrated and
proved.
Moreover, day by day continuous service brings
out another economy equal, if not greater in
importance, than Chevrolet's remarkably low
first cost. Chevrolet is more economical to
operate than any other car built, and its main-
tenance cost is the lowest.. in the world.
Investigate Chevrolet yourself. Have us demon-
strate the model that suits your. needs. We can
arrange terms that will surely fit your circum-
stances.
