fact teat the' evertures 'appear to lie

a feeling ot neiethinmess about Piecing
myself at the Mercy a any force ov

Ween '4 family has once began- to
"eeignbor" there.appearfsto beme. -way
of shuttiug off the power ' without
throiving' a monkey -wrench lnto the
machinelT.
Once upon a, time at thetender age
"of 'seicenteen, I visited a (heel -onum
,who•lived in ,a small village.- It was
just ansondinary village, end the peo-
ple,. it appeared, had kuown eech
other nor generations,' and they "neigh-,
bored" to the ,point of intemperance,
not to 'atiy in.decenen. They visect
the house -where I was etonPing at all
hours of the meriting afternoon, arid
evening. They penetrated the 'kitchen,
the pantry, the cellar, even the bed-
rooms. My room had no lock an the
door, and I ecquired the habit of brac-
ing' it with a chair under the knob, as
a preface to the act of disrobing. I
had an uneasy feeling that a delegas
tion ot neighbors,, of mixed sexes and
ase,orted ages, might walk in at any
moment and -watch the process with
rentarke, relevant and irrelevant •
One morning my chum insisted that
I acoompany hint 30 e house across the
way,. In vain I pointed out that it was
no hour for imolai calls. He said it did
not Matter. Apparently it really didn't
matter, •in -the least, We arrived at
seven -thirty to find our host lacing his
boots on the kitchen damper. Our
hostess greeted Us from a cre•vice in
the wall where she' was performing
her morning-,oblutions in .a costtime
that was a masterpiece of neighborly
iniconcern and unstandoftishness. Her
enunciation was somewhat marred by
the fact that her teeth, upper and low-
er, -were on exhibit in a glass of water.
She slid them into place with a dex-
terity born or long practice, formal-
ized her costume somewhat by enfold-
ing herself in an allover apron, and
came forth th make biscuits for break:
fast. As she.slappee them into a long
pan, a woman sauntered across the
garden and leaned througe the open
window,. .
."My Ian' sakes!" she, exclaimed,
"what erya goin; to do •with all.them
biscuits? Ain't there only two of ye?"
"Yep, but we like 'ern cold," replied
the baker. •-
"I cameover to berry your parasol
again," continued the other. "We're
gee' lip the river , ,this aftereoon."
Then she picked up a post -card that
lay on the -window sill, and calmly
read it eirrough.
• "7 didn't know your aunt nad
oved to Chester," she oommented,
without emotion.
I returned from that visit with a'
feeling of uneasiness about neighbors
that I have never been able toshake
off -not at leibt,• till I met the . Car-
higtens, , They were friendly without
Impertinence, interested without curl.-
ositY, aud helpful without officious-
ness., They borrowed frankly, at
times, when a sudden need arose, but
it'never.beeame chronic, and they re-
turned promptir- ,
Most ernotthns in .this. ;world are
prompted by'seifishness, if you dig to
the very root, a aelfish dislike of be-
ing made uncomfortable. The Car-
ringtons' goidg gave me a fear of what
might occupy their vacant; house. So
I returned one night to find their. win-
dows staring at me with the gissisY,
unseeing, expressionless stare of oyes
,from behind which the life has' lied.
Then some business 'complications
erose that drove the Matter from my
mind. When Milady, two weeks, later,
aneounced that the house was taken,
I paid, scant attention, end when I
tound a moving van drewn \IV, with
the moot Intimate furnishings scatter-

merely heaved a memorial sigh to. the

Tee uext day 3 went outset town on
nt week's business trip. Returning, I
called the house from my office, Mi-
lady's .voice sounded absent, even with
the joy of getting me home safely.
"You had better come home early,"
she said, "They've bofrowed the

"I will come home early!" I said
griruly ,
At dinner- Milady explaieed the situ-
ation. It was not without humor. Few
situations are, however exaeperating.
The chaperon -aunt evidently ruled
thems,with a rod of iron. She appear-
ed, to have one exed principle in life
that govelhed 'ell ,her ways, viz., to
spend money sin no inapleinent, uteri-
ello or convenienee that could be bor-
rowed. Her nephew evidently disap-
-Proved of her methods but a long
habit of acquiescence to feminine rule
and a desire for peace at any price,
held him enthralled, He went in and
out without a glance M our 'direction.
Once he had been heard. expostulating
-with his aunt. ,
• "You'll do nothing 08 2110 Rind!" she
squeaked, "The lelea of spending
money like that when the people right
next door have one and only use it
once a week. Why, they'd, think it
funny if we-" The voiee trailed
off. By that time Milady would have
thought it funnyif they had ceased to
use our effects as their. own.
• "Probably they are Bolshevists., and
believe in the community spirit. How
are the hens?" I mid.
"They are still there. yes, and
'she remarked yesterday thet, it would
be -so 'much easier to get the mower
In aud-out if we had a gate in the back
yard fence. Can you imProve on
that?" ,
• I mused a bit, and suddenly a low,
unprincipled thought came into my
mind, a. bane, ueneighborly suggestion.
As it Was not iminediately ejected, It
settled, down and stayed.
"Ola, well, we can always lock it if
the worst tomes to the worst. The
man seems a decent sort," 1 replied,.
That night they borrowed our ham-
mer and nails, and a 'Screwdriver, and
'for an .hour someone hammered vali-
antly. Next morning an unaccustomed
rattle greeted my ears. I peered from
my .usual lookout in the bathroom,
TWO boards had been removed from
the fence and a small•gate hung there,

slender, fatuous latch and Perctval

turned not at all, hi rapid succession
We supplied them with a can of paint,
a brand new brush, several books and
magazines, Stove nolieh, groceries, and
Our table scraps for the hens. These
all. disappeared forever, -

is many times finer than the thinnest

this was appneciated long, long ago.
But the difficulty of obtaining, silk

iug-pl8ce with birds, - This year two
different families, a pair of wrens and
a pair oi catbirds, decided to nest
heo'e- .
, 0 y g
their boraes: Strange to say, there
-was no quarrelling over this, but each
pair minded , its OW11 business, -and
when their homes • were finished, lo
and beholdl there, perched upon the
edge of the goodsized nest of the cat-
bird, was:the dainty little nest ef the
wren.
Never Were two families more so-
ciable. • Together the mothers sat on
their eggen and Perhaps they chatted
about different 'things to make the
lojig lasers , of waiting lees .1cineseme.
Together the wrens anathe catbirds
fought the. cat ,and bravely ;defended
their homee, when 'the babies were
hatched, and, side by side theraised
their families and'taught theist' how to
fly.' Now there is nothing leftebut
the two nests to show this. unusual
friendship betWeen tWb bird- families.
