that you're hungry and tired, Mary
Kate, and want to go have some fried

In a'few.weeks or days some time--
there
ime-there was no hurry, they would tell
the others—they would be engaged.
Meanwhile, they walked on air.
Tonight, when 'Mrs. O'Hara and -the.
three younger children had gone; and;
Mary, Kate and,Cass anti' Martin
found themselves alone in the kitchen,

Martin put aside his paper, and
Mary Kate, who seemed unable, Cass
noted with'a sort of jealouspleasure,
to keep' her hands off the'pers,ins she

Kate's other beaus had dropped away;
gradually the skies had cleared. Cass's
Aunt Lizzie had died, leaving fifteen
cigarette, and lookini; at the brother
and for Cass. .Even' after very hand-
some obsequies. there had been several
hundred left—a: nestegg for house fur-
nishings. Then, after March first,
Cass was to be put in the "field,"
which meant',' a commission on every
side of real estate, on every lease, on
every dollar's worth of insurance..
'I'll bet I'm averrging three hun-
dred a month this time next year!"
Cass predicted. ,, urged Mary
"Oh,. act your age,
Bate.
"Well, whadder you winter bet?"
Cass was a typical hard young Irish-
man, handsome, blue-eyed, lean -jawed
and shrewd. He knew that he was
smart, .and that sore day the world
would know it. "Lissen, I've been up
against it, taking care of Aunt Lizzie
and- paying off my father's doctor
bills, and all that," Cass would say.
"But Liss n—I don't gamble, do 1? 1
don't run around with any neighbor-
hood gang, mixing cocktails and roll-
ing the bonze, do I? I tell you I can't
lose!"
"You're a marvel, I'm going to
write your life, Cass. Birds' Brains,
or How Cass Keating Got the Job!"
This in the beginning, when Cass
had brought her home from dances,
and taken her to -denies in Mill Val-
ley. But of late Mary Kate had been
taking Cass, and life, a little more
seriously.. He had been joining the
family pretty regularly for Sunday
dinner, and he had often come in in-
formally during the week, for 'he ' past
six months. And at Christmas time
he had helped trim the children's tree,
and had gone to midnight Mass with
the O'Haras.
Mary Kate could not remember
anyone ever doing that before—any
outsider in the pew with mother and
herself and Mart and Tem and the
girls, and little awed and blinking
Pat, The cold dark starry night out-

"There's my hundred," Mary Kate
said suidenly.
"Oh, you!" her brother jeered affec-
tionately. "You'll want to get mar-

seriously, as the other two exchanged
u quick, self-conscious glance, and the
girl's transparent skin flushed rosily.
"No, if T had the right to leave home

He was thinking aloud, spacing -his
words deliberately, as he fitted them

Cass regarded him in silence, wonder-

ning, the French Customs men have
resorted to the old Indian trick of
bending over a young sapling- and
hanging a looped rope from it. A piece
of meat suspended inside the loop
serves' as a bait'and releases the trap
when it is toil hed. Poorly-t"ram
ed
dogs that are foolish enough to stop
on their way to nibble at the meat
suddenly find themselves, caught
around the nee'. or midriff and, jerked
into the air. Somewhat similar traps
are placed on the ground anchored to
a sack of sand. .
TRAINING ON SNUFF
To ensure that their dogs -head
straight for home, the smugglers feed
them well et home and pot at all in
Belgilm. This training is even inten-
sified by taking the dog to Belgium for
several days and 'starving him. The
animal quickly understands that he
only eats well when he is at his mag-
ter's home, and so a good dog will
head straight for his destineiton with-
out being tempted by any distractions
along the way.
The Customs men depend chiefly,
however, on their own dogs, generally
pure or half-breed Alsatians. When
they are still young they are given
the ordinary police training, such as
being taught to attack men and dum-
my dogs.
Every few clays the trainer will also
toss then a package of snuff or finely
cut tobacco. The killers tear the pack-
age open, get their eyes and nostrils
full of the snuff and become Infuriat-
ed. As long as they live the odor of
tobacco will affect them s,s a red flag
excites a bull.
The French Government deprecates
all this dog -killing along the frontier,
but it has too much at stake to permit
an army of dogs to wreck the tobacco
monopoly.—Tit-Bits.
