Something in l.hie casual- disregard hurt Mary Kate decp:y. It was net that she cared abort their talk, or 'wanted 'to be included in it. Put it was puzzling that, -=-after all the gay- ety and gallantry of their attitude to- night in Gordon Ronntree's house, when she had-queenedit in ivory satin and pearls,-ttatb seemed to have for- gotten her. She was simply -not there, It occurred:to ner, with sharp pain and resentment; that she had served her turn; Chris not only did not need her any longer„but he also no longer needed Any ll7etense of courtesy • to- ward her. His fast words before. Don' had entered burned in her mind. "My dear, if you knew the 'whole ridiculous • story you'd know that my _people would'simply rise in a mob and slay as both.” Uncomfortable, yet unwilling to seen] dismissed by their mere manner, she sat on, pretending to listen to their casual talk, .most of which was about golf, yachts,. polo or poker, and so ea- tirely incneoprehensible to tier. Mostly; she looked unseeing at the flee; now and then she glanced at one 02 the other as if amused. - • " "Why do youhave to get to town tonight, Don?" . • "Wel,, 1' don't, as a matter fact. I've get an outfit at. Gordy's and if yon could run me up there--•" Chris looked an interrogation at Mary Kate. His eyes asked, "Shall I tell him?" The color rose in her pale, tired face, and, she returned a granite nega- tive, in a brief shake of the head. "I'ni having the spare room replas- tered-" Chris began, "or I'd offer you a bed here." "Oh, :I'd have to have a change," young Archibald said. , "We've only. got ohe extra room here, it's a little box of a place, really, ex- cept for the .gallery," . Chris pursued., "Well done!" Archibald applauded, with a significant laugh. Mary Kate, with a sick plunge at her heart, saw that he knew, "How d'you mean well done?" Chris demanded, "Gordy told nye. I congratulate you, Chris. It .vent over big!" the other man said. They stared at each other. "Damn that old tattle -tale;" Chris commented then, without resentment, indeed with a deep grin of amusement. "It looked to me, and to Gordy, too, as if it had worked like a charm!" hire, told h,, admiringly: Chris congratulated. Chris compla- cent. Herself having nothing to do with it -just the hired masquerader whose whole business was to do their will. Mary Kate's face burned, Her throat was dry ar-d thick, she could not seem to get into the conversation. "Well, you see why I can't oiler you the spare room," Chris said, shrugging,, smiling. "One never knows!" Archibald said, arch a deferential little bow, They !loth laughed lounly. "Well, of course there's nothing Iike being an optimist!" Chris observed. "I think it waif a grand thing to do," the other man said, with relish. "The thing is, Don, did it work?" "Did it work? Why, you heard the old stirl saying that her daughter would marry a cousin, or someone, in Russia." "It sounded good to me." , "Say,. Chris-" drawled the young- er Archibald, with a curious glance. "How far did you go with Marka, any- way? You seem to be a terror, with the gals." And all the time she mast sit there, drooping; pa1e , furrouc, listening help- lessly, . lessly or slip away, dismissed like a servant, without farewell. To Mary Kate the night began to seem like a horrible dream: ' "How long, have you two known ech other, anyway?" the caller pres- ently asked.' Iiia eyes were still only for Chris. But Mary Kate resolutely broke into the talk. "We hardly know each other it all," she aoserted,,With a touch of baughti- ries. "What?" Archibs.,ld said. His lazy insulting amusement again. It made hoe cheeks burn. ."Since Mr. Rouot?we told won . any- thing at all," she• -said, with what dignity she could muster, "he might have gone a little further end ex- plained that this whole thieg :e a sort sr joke -just a perfectly 'eusiresslike arrangetne'nt-" she stopped, "Why certainly, what else could it be?" Don Archibald asked innnceetly, widening his eyes, assuming lie air fa khan who is trying to keep from laughing. She hated him. She 'loathed him. he was too ygung, too inexperienced extricate herself from this detest - b nle position) she could only flounder elplessly, trying to be dignlfled,•try- g to keep the whole thing funtry, b't- rly hurt and ashamed in her soul. "I hope 1 know a business arrange - en' when -I see one," Archibald per - pd modestly. "On:y-" he ,added,, th hit charm .ristie guffaw, "only ,ain't know Steyv:es was such a geed sinuos man "- Cut oat."

Indeed, in the wretebetll sensitive stage in' which: she sudden) iitund herself, she appreciated- tha ,locale of them disliked the introductio on explanations, apologies.. They be longed to a class that never explain° or. apologized. "1 was going to say that I have be Mr. Rountree's secretary, for tw years,Mary Kate said, coldly: Archibald laughed; again. "And is that a long time for an girl to stay with Gordy?" he asked. "Shut up, you ass," Chris said smoking, grinning staring into the fire. "Going, to piny 'round tomor- row?" he asked. "flow early. would you play? I'm having a lunch here at about half past one: We'd have to begin about nine, wouldn't we?" "It listens good to me." Suddenly, to ger horror, Mary Kate knew that'she was" on the verge of tears, - CHAPTER XX, y y y t n n• 0 Y , "You're -tired, why don't yob turn in?" Chris asked.' "I think --e she gulped, and look- ed at him bravely, the unmistakable tears on her cheeks. "I think I will." ";Sleep as late as you like in the Morning,. and ring when you want your breakfast. Mrs. Peters will bring it in. She lives out in the garage, but she's always 'round in the morning." "Thanks." But she did not move. She spoke impulsively, suddenly. "I ought to say-" she began. Her voice thickened, she fought down the mad- dening tendency to tears, and made herself smile. "I ought to say that I see now"that this was a silly thing to do—" she went on unsteadily: A moment of awkward silence. "Why, that's all right," Christ said generously, kindly. "I think it was a swell thing to do," Don added, with a laugh and•a•yawn. "You musn't lose your nerve," Chris added. "No. I'm not losing my nerve!" She was determined to talk. "But I want to say that if I had realized - and perhaps, if I had had sense enough to consult my -mother, I would have realized-" This was floundering, weak, inco- herent stuff girds always talked, when they got themselves into tight places. Her tears were dried from sheer shame and anger now, and her cheeks burning. "I mean -I thought of it only as a joke!" she said. "And so it is, my dear," Chris said, amused and disrtessed and anxious to help. "Don't make too much of it. Be a`sport! There's no harm done." "No, I know-" she said, in,a whis- per. She looked up brightly, laugh- ing, holding her head high." But her face was pale now and her eyes show- ed traces of tears; with her disordbr- ed hair pushing straight off her fore- head, and her figure weary and droop- ing, half the spirited beauty of a few hours ago had gone. Chris looked at her oddly, as if he saw her -as a girl, a woman, with a heart and soul and mind of her awn, for the first time. "Turning in?" he asked, getting to his feet. Don Archibald did not rise, "I think so, I'm tired," "I'll run Archibald up to Gordon s. Don't be frightened if you hear nle coming in." He was trying to be nice, she knew. But somehow it did not help her spir- its, she oould not rise to it, laugh the whole .hing off, carry it with a dash. Don Archibald laughed suddenly aloud. Mary Kate did not look at him, as too heavily too seleiunly, she put out her hand. • "Your porch windows are all bolt- ed," Christ said, "and you'd. better lock your hall door. There-ve, been several tobberieiN-" "Oh, conte' now, Chris, don't scare the girl to death!" Archibald said lazily. "You, shut up!" Chris said, in gen- uine annoyance. It was not much; but it was some little comfort to Mary Kate, as she left them. "Too bad Gordon had to spill the beans. But after all, what does it matter -after tonibrrow, who knows or who doesn't know?" Christopher said in the hall. "The whole thing -and I blame only myself --makes me sick 1" bialy Kate said passionately, "Why, we haven't done anything wrong! she said surpriseclly, "Oh, please -please." She was suf- focating. . "Why, what are you afraid of?" he said. "You had" all the nerve in the werlda little while ago." Mary Kate,mad° no answer. Her face was flushed and strained. She nodded to him a wordless grow night, and vrert off through the dint Spanish archways and passages to her own room. (To be coetinued.) 'How its it, son, you never head the class?"

Chic! • This junior frock • softens too youthful lines, with eggshell- crepe and black satin combining in able flared tunic and skirt. • Jacob's Well Here, after Jacob parted from his brother, - His daughters lingered round this well, neiv-made; Here, seventeen centuries after, came another, And talked with Jesus, wondering and afraid. Here; other centuries past, the 'em- poror's mother Shelter'd its waters with a temple's shade. Here, 'mid the fallen fragments, as of old,, . The girl her pitcher dips within its waters cold. And Jacob's race grew strong for many an hour, Then torn beneath the Roman eagle lay; The ?roman's vast and earth -controls. ling power Has crumbled like these shafts and stones away; But still the waters, fed bby dew and shower, Coma up, as ever, to the light of day, And still the maid' bends downward with her urn, Weil pleased to se its glass her lovely fate return. -James Freemen Clarke, in "Reli- gious Poems." The Female Canine • Popular attitude against the female canine is a groundless prejudice, as. the citation of a few facts will prove. As a rule she bas a keener, brain than her brother, and often a better body; not as mueh muscular strength perhaps, but greater suppleness and endurance. She invariably makes the better watch -dog, because she is men- tally keener, quicker, more alert. One of the best proofs of the fe- male's superiority over icer brother is Lound in the dog teams of the North. No dogs are more severly tried than those that draw sleds over Artie ice and snows, The driver selects the best animal of his pack for the leader, and usually this is a female. She is lighter, swifter, and more willing. She understands instructions quickly and obeys promptly. In Labrador, Green- land, and the frozen islands to the north of Canada, one seldom sees a male leafier in a dog team. Itis the rule to use a female when one is pro- curable. • While the female has greater pos- sibilities, she is more easily spoiled by her master's mistakes: Being more sensitive, more delicately organised in general, illtreatment cuts deeper, with • a more lasting effect. it is significant that peaple who really know dogs pre- fer the female, while the novice. fails s with her. -From "Our Dumb Animals" I Sky's ,:; lg Dipper rawi g Asunde Two of It's Stars Leaving Rest as Constellation 'IVIav'es Toward Us. There'is discord "of a serious nature in the most•w•idely',lrnown and most popular family„of `stars, ' Astronomers at Lick Observatory have found that the famous •seven; stars malting up the: Great Dipper are'Qrifting apart, flye going in one direction and two 1sead- ing .in another, with the 'result that eventually the outline of the constel- lation `will+no longer be recognizable in its present form. "Because of this difference in dime Um, these stars have not always formed a dipperehsDri ta'rederick- C. Leonard explains in. a builetinsef the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. "Five of 'them are moving across the face of the slay at approximately the same angular• rate and in, a direction nearly parallel, while- the two other are moving in roughly the opposite direction with comparable angular speeds" According to the. Lick Ob- servetory, the constellation as'a whole is coming closer to the' solar system at a speed ranging from about. five to ten miles per second for its various stars.• .411 seven are known as "giant stars,"•and are between fifty and"one hundred• million light years away from the earth. Tiley give off much rpore light than ,our own sun, two of the group giving off •fully sixty times as muoh. The seven stars form the -constella- tion of Vraa Major (Great. Bear), On star maps they are usually referred to, by Greek letters or the names given to these stars by the Arabians of old. Thus, the four stars making up the bowl of the dipper are known in Greek as Alpha, Beta, Delta and Epsilon, 'while the corresponding Arabian names are Duehe, Merak, Phad and Megrez. The three stars forming the handle of the dipper, sometimes re- ferred to as the "three horses," are Epsilon, Zeta and Eta, or in .Arabic, Alcor Mizar and Benetnasch. Probably the most interesting of the seven stars is Mizar, the ane at' the bend of the .handle. With 'its com- panion, Alcor, it makes a wide and readily distinguishable pair, popularly known as "the horse and the rider." Actually, however, it is a double star by itself, this faot having been dis- covered with the aid of a telescope at Bologna in 1650, By means of an opera -glass many faintstars can be seen in the same field as the seven Great Dipper stars visible to the unaided eye. Even a small telescope will show.- the region literally powdered with luminaries. On a clear night, the seven giant stars may be seen from twilight un- til dawn. They do not, however, main- thin the same position throughout the night. The group swings backward, in a direction contrary to the hands of a watch, half way around the Pole Star, in that period. It is because of this steady rotation that the Great Dipper answers the purpose of a clock 1n the sky from which one can gain a fairly good. idea of the time. Many legends surround the famous seven stars, which have been the most commonly known objects in the heav- ens from ancient days to the present time. Shepherds attending their flocks have sung to them; philosopher have mused long over them; -lovers have kept trysts under their kindly canopy, and astronomers with 'elescopes have striven to penetrate their secrets. British Blonds Vanishing; Life In Cities Blamed London, --Blondes are rapidly going into the cliseard and gentlemen In Eng- land to -clay prefer brunettes, the hair- dressers of London say. Real blondes as opposed to those whose hair at one time might not have been so golden are tar scarcer in the British Isles than they used to be, the experts declared. Modern modes oe citilization, they say, appear to favor the brunette and, although beautiful hair the color of spun sunlight still is admired, some fear that in another generation it may be almost a curs- ostty. The opinion was fairly widely spread among the hair experts that city life tended to produce the dark, hort type, and that blcindes who jive ti crowded communities change color ppreelably in a lifetime. .. a a We -cannot .steer our drifting raft, ' s nor stem the resistless current; but!r we have it in car power to behavei5 decently, to share the meagre stock of victuals fairly as long as they last,' 0 to take the good and evil as it conies,ls and even to hope, if we choose to do, s so; for a fair leaven. -Frederick York I Powell.

England Said to Indicate Man Was Pursuing Living as Early as First Interglacial Period London -The Passage of time would seem to have less and Ioae meaning in the light of discoveries of traces of eo-efdled prehistoric man, Moir Reid at, a 'meeting of the Royal Anthropo- logical Institute mentiobed it period - 400,000 years back as being the date of oertain`flint implements found in Palestine.. by the British . School of Archaeology in Egypt. These flints were found in the Wadi Gaza and its tributary. valleys. The oldest of these flints were coarsely Baked, said Mr. Moir, and comprised massive beak -shaped axes. Similar specimens have been found in east England. The ones totted in Palestine ,heel obviously been in col - Rehm with other stones, but those found in England were generally striated,and.eroded by ire action. Mg, Moir thought that the Palestine instruments Were of early Pleistocene date or the first interglacial period of some 400,000 years ago, Another group of hand axes were very differ- ent, being skillfully and beautifully made like those which had been found in large quantities in England in de - 'posits of the second interglacial period, and they were made by exactly the same technique. As the earlier forms had also been found in Africa and India, Mr, Reid said that some explanation was neces- sary- of the. prevalence ever such wide areas of the earth's surface of pre- historic industries which were evi- dently carried an on similar highly specializes plans. He thought himself that it could only be, supposed :that centers of the dispersal of cultures existed in remote prebistoric times. It was not reasonable to suppose that a race of people living in Egypt would merely by coincidence proceed to make their flint sties on exactly the same precise plan as another race living in England. Tl'e existence of world-wide eultures in Lower Palaeo- lithic days such as thea necessitated invoking extended periods of time in which a certain method of implement making spread over the earth.

Dissolved Salts Gives Color to Sea A theory that the blue color of sea water is due to the pi;eeeece. of dis- solved copper compounds, which have the blue characteristics of such'com- pounds, as in the well known blue vitrol or copper sulphato, has been ad- vanced by.. chemist, Riche a Germani d WI1lstatter, according to thCotheti correspondent of the American Cbemi• cal Society. The color of sea water' was discuss. ed by Willstattet' and Fritz IHaber on a trip- to the Canary Islands.

Wilistatter contended that the blue, which is visible even In such a thin layer as in a bathtub, is due to com- plex calmer aonrponnds of the nature of euprt•amino salts. • "The •oontlfti0ns ?Jr their fal'ination are present, he explained; "because of tee ltnowu content of copper in sea water and the formation or ammonia and cepecialIy of orgpnic ammoniaa r (Impounds as a result of thedecom- position of protein," To a Young Man Tell rne, bra5e yott g man, l pray, Is she worth the price you- pay? , You may think hos quite sublime, Bet take care while there is time, Ortohids lead to other things - Satin .ribbons, wedding .rings, Leases anti, refrigerators, Apron, strings, perambulators, Cereal and safety pins, Rice and, sometimes, oven twine, Selecting Six Orchids (From The New Yorker) 'Tell nee, brave yowl, man.
