GHOST ON BROADWAY
By ROBERT McBLAIR
I N THINKING of it afterward,
Nettie Brainard could never get
rid of the feeling that the light actu
ally did change. In her empty tea
room, the telephone on the cashier’s
desk rang. Although it was nearly
noon, all of Broadway near Union
Square seemed to dim to a queer,
eerie twilight.
“Is this Miss Nettie Brainard?” a
man's voice inquired.
“Yes,” Nettie said into the instru
ment.
“Are you the daughter of Bena-
min Brainard, deceased, and Nettie
Sharp?”
“Yes. Yes, I am.”
“Is your mother there?”
“She’s busy in the kitchen just
now. She’ll be busy for half an hour.
Who is this, please?”
“This is Thomas Sharp. Your
Uncle Tom.”
Nettie gasped. "Uncle Tom! But
— but— but you are dead!”
The man’s laugh had a hollow
sound. “Not quite,” he said.
“But five years ago, up home In
Maine, we got a registered pack
age,” Nettie insisted, her voice
shaking slightly. “It held four Brit-
isTi bonds, and his—your passport
stamped in Chinese and Russian,
and a letter from Harbin, signed by
Jerry Angus, saying that you had—”
The man laughed again. “Now,
Nettle, don’t be so upset by this!
Anything may happen in the Far
East. Besides, I left home twenty-
five years ago. Before you were
born.”
“Well,” said Nettie swallowing.
“Now don’t say anything to your
mother. I want to speak to you
alone. I’ll be right over.”
He hung up. The light seemed to
flood back into the deserted tea
room. "Heavens above!” Nettie
said aloud. “Uncle Tom! Alive!
Alive, after all! What ever shall I
say to him? Why does he want to
talk to me alone? Why, it’s like hav
ing a visit from—from a ghost!”
Across the street, her mortal ene
mies, the two quick lunch places,
with their neon signs and their bar
gains in coffee and doughnuts, now
became friends for once. They as
sured her that she was not in some
timeless world of the spirit. Instead,
she was in the bustling world of to
day, where a girl of twenty-two,
who loves a young doctor way back
in her home town, is glad to stand
by her ailing mother in New York,
•nd try to make a tea room pay in
a section where there is no room for
tea rooms.
“Uncle Tom!” Nettie said again.
All she could remember of him was
that he was a black sheep, or some
thing worse. Her own father, Bena-
min Brainard, never would permit
his name to be spoken. This was
because, over twenty-five years ago,
Tom Sharp nearly had broken off
Benamin Brainard’s engagement t^
Nettie’s mother.
Tom Sharp had brought home
some ruffian named Jerry Angus,
and had introduced him to his sis
ter, Nettie, at a time when her
fiance, Benamin Brainard, was out
of town on business. Nettie Sharp,
then a girl of seventeen, had found
Jerry Angus, the irresponsible wast
rel, more enchanting than her busi
nesslike and absent fiance. Her par
ents ended that romance, but not
before Jerry Angus and Nettie
Sharp pledged eternal devotion in a
secret meeting arranged by the
black sheep Tom Sharp. It was a
heartbreaking farewell.
Jerry Angus and Tom Sharp left
together to hunt gold in Alaska, and
after that adventured in the Far
East. Young Nettie Sharp married
Benamin Brainard after all, and
had one child, Nettie, before Bena-
min Brainard died.
He told me about the operation your
mother needs, which requires
money. He told me more, Nettie.
Something about himself. But that
was confidential.”
Nettie's heart stopped beating.
Was it some other girl?
"What did he tell you?” she cried.
“Never mind. But, look, Nettie.
This cash came from smuggling
arms in a good cause. Let it do
some good!”
He laid a brown envelope in Net
tie’s palm. His hand, she noticed,
was weathered, and had on its back
a large strawberry birthmark.
“But, Uncle Tom!” she protested.
“Now, now!” He got up. “Of
course you wouldn’t take ten thou
sand dollars from just anybody.
He laid a brown envelope in Nettie’s palm,
had on its back a large strawberry birthmark.
His hand, she noticed.
Tom Sharp became an occasional,
rambling letter from some unknown
far Eastern place. Then, from Har
bin, his passport and his legacy had
come to his sister.
Now Tom Sharp was alive again
and hurrying to see his sister’s
daughter.
Just then the front door opened.
In stepped a bouncy, stocky, gray-
haired man.
“Well, Nettie,” he said heartily,
“come sit by your Uncle Tom. Yes,
you’ve got your mother's bright
brown eyes.”
He led her to one of the yellow
tables.
“Yes, yes, my dear. No one likes
to be visited by a ghost!” He
roared with laughter. “It was poor
Jerry Angus who played that joke
on me. Left me with no passport
and no money. The crazy fool.”
He glanced toward the kitchen.
“But I mustn’t waste time like this.
I found you by phoning the doctor
in the old home town. The same
name, but the son of the one I used
to know. That’s how time flies! . . .

You’ve too much pride for that, I
hope. But blood’s thicker than wa
ter, child. Besides, if you and your
mother must have a tea room, this
will let you have one back home.
. . . Take the advice of a wanderer,
Nettie. Marry. Settle down. Don’t
miss love when it comes by.”
He kissed her roughly on the
mouth. Then he was gone, leaving
Nettie feeling that this visit, from
one mourned as dead, simply could
never have happened.
The kitchen door opened. Nettie’s
mother came in.
“How can I begin to tell her?”
Nettie thought.
“I couldn’t hear what that man
was saying.” Her mother was talk
ing. “But his voice seemed to be
one I had heard as a girl I kept ex
pecting you to call me, Nettie. I
wondered if I would know anyone I
hadn’t seen for so long. Like your
Uncle Tom; well, I suppose I would
know him.”
She sat down and picked up a
fork. “As for Jerry Angus,” she
went on, “the boy who wanted to
marry me, years ago, I would know
him anywhere. He had a strawberry
birthmark on the back of his left
hand.” She cut off a bit of lettuce.
"Why are you suddenly looking so
happy, Nettie? Do stop mooning,
dear, and bring your mother her
tea."
WATCH WHAT YOUR FACE
SAYS
Probably it isn't right, but it cer
tainly is human nature to pass judg
ment upon every stranger within a
few seconds after you are intro
duced. Later you often-times have
to reverse your judgment. That
doesn’t keep you from going ahead
and judging everyone you meet.
Some of the men or women you
meet win your heart immediately,
even before they say a word. This
they do by the expression on their
faces. Others win you only after
days or hours or weeks of associa
tion, which causes you to overlook
their dead-pan expression and rec
ognize their worth.
The faces we like, the faces of
personality, are beautifully de
scribed by Rosamond Lehmann in
her novel, “The Weather in the
Streets.” One of Miss Lehmann’s
characters says to a friend:
“I like what—what breaks out be
hind the features and is suddenly
there and gone again. I like a face
to warm up and expand, and col
lapse and be different every night
and from every angle . . . and not
be above looking ugly or comic
sometimes.”
In other words, what this woman
liked and what others like *n a face
is life, expression, vitality, anima
tion. We all like faces that betray
the emotions that go on behind
them rather than the dull, color
less, cold, unresponsive faces. We
want to know that there is friend
ship behind the faces we see.
Study the expression on your face.
If it isn’t what you think it ought to
be, do what Napoleon did, what
Cleopatra did. Practice facial ex
pression until you develop this im
portant outward evidence of person
ality into a great and enduring
asset.
Organic Matter Rids
Cropland oi Bacteria
Viruses Prevent Plant
Diseases From Spreading
By R. C. Thomas
Ohio State College.
Few disease-causing bacteria will
survive in soil whose organic mat
ter supply has been built up by the
use of green manure crops and the
return of crop residues and manure.
Those that do live are so changed
that they are no longer a menace
to crops.
Extracts from soil rich in organic
matter contain viruses that depend
for their existence upon living bac
teria. These viruses £re especially
numerous in organic matter added

tion of organic matter.
to the soil through residues from
grasses, legumes and grain crops.
When these viruses come in con
tact with plant disease forming bac
teria they have a profound influence
on them, changing the form of these
bacteria and making them harm
less so far as plants are concerned.
The intensity of competition for
food materials and life itself,
among organisms inhabiting soil
particles, are indicated by the fact
that a single ounce of soil has an
estimated living population of 50
million bacterial cells,, besides
many forms of fungi. Added to
these are five million protozoa as
well as other forms of organisms.
Beneficial bacteria thrive best in
soil well-stocked with organic mat
ter and tend to crowd out the dis
ease-causing kinds.

Metal Nipple Bucket
The metal nipple bucket was
proven satisfactory for feeding
young calves by Montana agricul
tural experiment station. The buck
et is six inches in diameter, seven
inches high, and is graduated in
pints by indentations in the metal
one inch apart which serve as a
guide to the feeder in determining
the amount of milk to feed. The
nipple is 2% inches long, made of %
inch copper tubing, soldered secure
ly into the bucket as shown. It is
rounded at the end with solder.
Precautions Advised
To Prevent Hog Flu
To keep flu from getting started,
Iowa State college recommends
that hogs be brought in at night
from hogged-down cornfields to
keep them from getting chilled.
Overcrowding should be avoided.
Quarters should be planned so that
sufficient space and adequate equip
ment will be available during bad
weather, but the buildings should
not be shut tight, making hogs too
warm.

Serve Turkey Golden Brown and Juicy!
(See Recipes Below)
Thanksgiving Tips
As the days bring with them that
cooler-than-fall feeling, as the frost
gathers lightly on the pumpkin, we
instinctively know it’s time to talk
of turkey and Thanksgiving.
If families gather at this season,
as is the time-honored custom,
you’ll want a re
gal bird that's
done to fork-ten-
demess, besides
being golden
brown and juicy.
Around the bird,
you’ll want to as
semble those
foods that complement it best—
snow-white onions with a bland
cream sauce to mask their sharp
ness, crisp green brussels sprouts,
savory with stock and bread
crumbs, and sweet potatoes, of
course!
To prepare the bird, follow these
three steps to achieving the feast:
Stuffing, trussing and roasting.
*Frune Dressing.
(For 10-pound turkey)
3 cups cooked prunes
1 small grated onion
1 cup finely chopped celery
2)4 cups fried bread crambs
1 cup prune juice
% cup chopped pecans, if desired
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Salt and pepper
Wash and soak the prunes. Cook
them in water in which they were
soaked, until tender. Cool, remove
pits and chop. Fry onion and cel
ery in two tablespoons of fat until
soft. Mix thoroughly with fried
bread crumbs, prunes, prune juice,
pecans and seasonings.
Season the neck and body cavity
of the bird lightly. Fill neck with
dressing and skewer the neck skin
to the back. Bring wing tips onto
back. Fill body cavity with dress
ing, but do not pack it tightly.
Skewer or fasten opening to hold
in the dressing. Tie leg ends down
to the tail. .
To roast the bird first grease the
skin with melted or softened fat.
Place the bird on
a rack, breast
down, in a shal-
Jg la low pan which is
V open. If the bird
i li does not have a
^ ^ “Y generous layer of
fat, cover with
a fat - moistened
w ^ cloth that is large
•^3 enough to go over
the top and sides.
Roast in preheated oven set at
proper temperature.
An 8 to 10 pound bird is set in a
325 degree oven for 3 to 3V4 hours.
A turkey four pounds heavier re
quires the same temperature oven
but is allowed four hours longer to
cook. For birds larger than 14
pounds use a 300 degree oven and
add % hour of cooking time for
each four pounds. A 20-pound bird,
for example, will take five to six
hours to roast.
Do not add water or cover pan
while roasting. If drippings bum,
the oven is too hot. If the cloth
covering the bird dries during cook
ing, remoisten from fat at bottom
of pan. Turn bird breast up when
about % done. Remove cloth if
more browning is desired.
Test for doneness when meat
feels soft. This is done by pressing
the thickest part of the drumstick
with fingers. The leg joint also
should move readily when turkey is
done.
LYNN SAYS:
Try These Tips for Cold
Weather Cooking
Ever use gingerbread as bread?
It makes the perfect bread for dried
fruit sandwiches. Try cream cheese
for the spread in place of butter if
you want a special treat.
Those apple pies you can’t resist
will be more so if you roll some
cheese into the crust. And don't for
get to brush the tops of the crust
with milk if you want that special
golden brown color.
