Every year they Journey over the intervening space on a swift limited and make their obeisance to the grinning slave. Ebony black, with an orange smile, he stands ever patiently beaming aloft on hla flattened palms a woven basket of gorgeously colored tropical fruits. Quivering heal waves rise around hla stalwart form, but lo such a temperature be Inherits immunity. The dark dty kitchen with Its dismal ontlook steals something of the spirit of the “Thousand and One Nights” fron^hla cotorfu. presence. For three years now have Mr. and Mr*. Lee made the pilgrimage to this Shrine. And Jnst fonf years and two months ago the event* took place, grateful memory of which brings them

back.

In those days Mrs. Stanley was Evelyn Brook*, fashion artlat for the Standardised Pattern company, and Stanley was making his first ranchman's business trip East. Be not only belonged to the West but looked It, for he was tall and broad, with the keenly Interested eye* of the plainsman. and his sartorial preferences ran to corduroy, toft shirts and the like. So be waa dressed at nine o’clock on this morning as he ran down the two flights of stairs which led from his aunt's apartment to the basement kitchen In the bouse on Darrow street. Aunt Mag was all right and a good sport, Stsnley was thinking on the way down, even if the had horrified the Cody folk last summer, driving to town dressed In a queer, shapeless garment at bright green, with sandaled feet and floppy hat embroidered With Impossible flowers. He grinned as he recalled the commotion she had canaeri Ih the poet office: But all the same, this way of living got his goat—staying up most of the night and sleeping until noon, like a bat. Four bot.ra after Ms u*ua. breakfact time, and not a sound from his aunt's room! Her last words before bidding h!\i good night had been: •Stan, dear, If you get hungry before I’m up tn the morning. Just run down it-irs and cook youraetf sometMog. There is a community kitchen down In the basement and you’ll And my things on a Shelf labeled with my name. BMp ytmrself." Stan didn’t exactly like the idea of tossing around In some one rise's bouse, but he was desperately hungry; to he tried a door that loohed as If It might open Into a kitchen. It did, but the room' was so gloomily dark that be lighted the gna. Just then the door bell rang. Stanley stood still and listened, bnt there wns no sound of steps along the bare floor of the ball, and again It rang. So he ran up the basement and opened the door. On the step* stood a girt. She was quite good to look upon, dressed In an unhsnal shade of bine-green, with hat to match, trimmed with small Cowers of many-color*. The young woman appeared peril a p* a bit oUTprtoed when till* Mg young man openid the door, but remarked la a quit# ordinary tone of vo.ee: “1 came to paint over the kitchen stow " Now.

Then ne npoke—actually spoke. “Wouldn’t my tossing around here bother you any I .You aee, my aunt, whom I am visiting. Isn’t up yet, and

I'm nearly starved."

The lady of the pigments, absorbed In her work, replied that It would not —not at all. Bet she did not add what she was thinking, that this was .quite the handsomest man she had seen for some time.
