Lock-Out
By DOROTHY BARNES
Q. by McClur# Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service
IT REALLY wnsn't Anne's fault, ft
was the wind’s fault—or John's
sister's fault—or the puppy’s fault.
But not Anne's.
To begin with, Anne and John had
chosen Green Nook cottage because
It was in such a secluded position.
Anne wasn’t afraid. There were no
tramps. Besides, there was the friend
ly collie puppy. And Green Nook cot
tage was the prettiest place Anne had
ever dreamed of owning. It was on a
little spur of cliff that reached out into
the ocean. The winds were so tem
pered that trees grew protectlngly
around the little house. ADd trees
and ocean were combined to make a
really beautiful outlook.
Of course, tf you turned the other
way, you saw the road. And you
knew that, a mile along that road,
there was quite a little settlement of
cottages.
John and Anne settled for their first
summer of marriage at Green Nook
cottage. After they had been at the
cottage for a few weeks, John's older
sister Prudence, wrote that she would
like to come visit them.
“Never mind, Anne," John had said.
“Pru isn't so had as she sounds. Of
course she’s rich. And she's had so
much money for so long that she for
gets It Isn't convenient for other peo
ple, perhaps, to drop everything and
entertain her whenever she wants.
But she's not so bad.”
So Prudence was coming to visit.
With her husband, and two sous of
fourteen or fifteen. And Anne had
spent a, busy day getting ready for
them.
The two rooms for Pru and her fam
ily were all in order—excepting that
the pillows needed pillow slips. The
living room was In perfect order—ex
cepting that the dust mop and dust
pan leaned against the chimney, for
a last run-around after dust. The din
ing room table was set—but Anne’s
Italian lace and linen napkins were
even now piled on the ironing board
In the kitchen, where the electric iron
was heating, to be pressed into
sparkling smoothness. Dinner was
under way. Floating out the kitchen
windows came tantalising odors, even
now, of this and that cooking on the
stove and In the oven.
And now Anne was locked out. To
get through the rest of the matter
quickly, Anne had suddenly discov
ered that the cream was not as fresh
as It should be and had decided to
run down to the nearest village for
more. She had given a quick mental
look around and realized that every
thing was good for twenty minutes.
Then she had rushed out the front
door—aud the door had slammed. A
perverse gust of wind had done the
trick.
The windows wore all screened,
with screens that hooked In on the
Inside. Anne decided she would go
for the cream nnd think of a way to
get In on her trip. If she couldn't
think of a way, she’d get help. But
when she reached her car, she real
ized that her keys were In her hand
bag. And that’s where the dog came
in. She had left her handbag on the
porch, but the dog had dragged It with
in doors. He liked to chew leather
handbags.
Anne walked around and around
the house, peeking In the windows,
taking stock of things. The collie
pup chew contentedly on her hand
bag In the living room, and each time
she circled past the kitchen door the
pots and pans steamed a little more
tantallzingly the fact that soon one
of them might go dry. Everything
seemed to mock at Anne.
Minutes had passed—perhaps halt
an hour.
Finally Anne started to walk for
help. She didn't know Just what sort
of help she was going for. Perhaps
just a strong knife to cut out a hole
in one of the screens. Perhaps a lock
smith with a master key—only of
course there wouldn’t be one within
miles. Hut anyway Anne, still dressed
In a pink gingham house frock, started
to walk.for help.
An then the wayward breeze, that
had so unobliglnglr closed her front
EARLY CONSERVATION
There has been a great deal
of attention given to conserv
ation of natural resources dur
ing the past few years, and
many may be under the im
pression that this movement is
comparatively new. But such
is not the case.
Someone has discovered in
the records of the Massachus
etts Gciiony a court order 300
years old, which directed the
conservation of timber. This
order, dated March 29, 1626,
decreed as follows:

aoor. piayea ner a pleasant trick.
Turning, It suddenly brought her the
sound of an approaching automobile.
And John’s automobile, at that None
but bis could make such a chuckling,
coughing sound and still progress;
John’s automobile had seen better days.
But It went, and with Anne’s for her
use and their use together. It did quite
well enough until the cottage was
paid for.
The breeze shifted again, and waited
for several minutes before she had
further news of John. Then she saw
his car round a bend In the road not
far away. In a few more minutes,
they were back at the cottage door,
Anne’s troubles explained.
She bounded from the cnr the min
ute It stopped. "You dash back to the
village for some cream, John. And
Just give me fifteen minutes—Just fif
teen minutes—and everything will be
perfect. Hurry and open this door.
I can smell something almost boiling
dry!"
Anne put her hand on the knob
of the front door In her Impatience.
It turned.
She looked sheepishly at John hurry
ing $fter her with his key.
“The latch was off," she said. "Well
—Just give me twelve minutes, and
I'll have this place ready 1"
inconveniences as doe and may
befall the plantation by the
want of timber, that no man of
wnat conditions soever sell or
transport any manner of works
or frames for howses, planks,
boards, shalops, boats, canoes
or what so ever may tende to
the destruction of timber afore
said; how little so ever the
quantities be; without the con
sent, approbation, and liking of
the Governour and Counsell.”
Commenting upon this dis^
play of foresight by the early
se tiers of the Massachusetts
Colony, the Atlanta Georgian
says: “The early law may
seem ifco have been entirely un
called for, but the framers
were looking ahead decades
and centuries. They were
right, as time has proved, but
their descendants forgot the
warning thus utter.d by the
lathers, and little by little,
wastage took the place of care
ful use. Today great stretches
the country lie denuded of
their f orests. Every year there
ere felled enough tre's to cov
er in area equal to all of Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut and
Now Jersey combined ”
