might be. The only thing to do' was
to salve the unbearable moment 'with
movement, change, a new start in the
conversation.
"How long. have you known the

"Cass? Oh-" She reflected.

she concluded, after a pause.,
"What's his business?"
"Real estate."
"Ts he doing well?"
"Oh, very. He'.; going in, with no -
other ishan, for :.imself next year."
"There ought to be a lot 'of money
in that, out here," Chris said.
"Therr is. But of course there's
competition, too."
"Will you live in town, here!"
"Nothing is settled." The girl',s
tone was not encouraging.
"GPU: yet; let me know?"
"Why, yes," she agreed politely,
raising her eyes to his face.
"You don't seem enthusiastic,
Mary."
"I don't—" she answered, her eyes
fixed on his. "I don't know what I've
done, or what I haven't done, to : take
you—take that tone.''
"What tone?" Chris asked, with a
steady look.
"The tone of—putting me out ee
things, disposir-g o me," she answer-
ed, withf a little hesitation, and a
heightened color. "The tone that
snakes me feel—or Hakes ale know
that you fee what a gulf there is be-
tween us."
"Did I inake you feel that?" Chris
asked, mildly, looking down at the
cigarette ash he knocked free with
the tip of a little finger.
"Yeti knew you did."
"I'•n sorry," he said simply. There
was a silence before he added, "But
isn't it there?"
"The gulf?" Mary Kate's eyes were
blazing, her cheeks hot. She laughed
briefly, without mirth.
"Well, isn't it?"
"1 suppose it is."
"I mean, we know it is," Chris-
topher persisted. "If it means any-
thing to you that I'na sorrier about
this than anything else that ever hap-
pened in my Iife," he began" again,
and stopped.
"About what?" she asked, relent-
lessly. -
"About your—perhaps—liking me,"
he answered, not looking at her. For.
a moment the girl made no reply.
e. "}lave I been so very open about
liking you?" she asked then, avert-
ing her own gaze, biting ber lip. 4
"Well, don't you?" Chris countered
simply.
"But of cout•se I do:" And she
laughed unconvincingly.
"No, 1` mean really," Chris per-
sisted, unsishjifng.
"Surely you want -tie to like you?"
"You know what I mean," he said:
reflectively. "I'in sure you know what
I mean. If I'nr wrong ---if this isn't

she made no effort to speak.

Still absolute silence, her ashamed,
fascinated eyes on his face.
"How about it?" he asked, eyes
narrowed, lips pursed a little, as he

"This time text week," Chris eb-
Wved •teliberately, "I shall be six

of it," she sad, raising her
comp:sed glance. Rut her color fllclt-
ered a trifle iu-t the sane.
"Anal when r'o ycu merry you0 Jas-
imir Keating?"
"Imageee C'tou remembering his
nnmei"
"Why shouldn't I remember his
name? I'm very mach intereeted ihh
hint, or rather it: his nrospeete. And
of course I'm going to send you a wed-
ding present!"
She was heavy, silent again.
"No, S ou niusn't do that."
"Oh, why, not?" He was trying to
keep the tone light and casual, but her
gravity defeated airs.
"Because I don't want you to,
Chris." And nein' she raised her
'quiet, sapphire -'blue look to his own.
Chris felt checked.
"Well, I don't want a Russian
countess," he said. "But I rather
hope 191 find my moorings, too, one
of these days."
Mary Kate went an with her ice,
without responding.
'i'We've had a great adventure,"
Chris said presently, "and, if it ends
safely today, as somehow I think it
will, it will be something always to
remember."
"Won't it?"
"Oh, I forgot this." He drew out
a small, neat pocketbook, and , ex-
tracted from it a folded cheque, open-
ed it, and pushed it toward her across
the table. Mary Kate looked down
at it.
"Was is so nominated in the bond?"
she ,}eked slowly.
"Not quite. But please--?" Ho
was really plea•!' .g, he was really
stirred. Upc.n his fare was the kin G-
est, the mast simple and genuine ex-
pression she had even seen there.
With the faintest possible shrug
she accepted the stiff oblong bit of
paper and put it 'nto her bag. Skis
macre nu other acknowledgment of it.
"When are you going to be mar-
ried:" Chris asked.

"I told Cass—" +iaey Irate rested
her elbows on the table, and smiled
faintly, narrowing her eyes, rocking
into space. Her ehin rested on her
linked fingers. "I tole Cass on Sun-
day that it would probably be never,"
she acltnitted. '
There was an instant quick hewn
on Chris' watching face.
"What you mean by that?"
"I meant ---what 1 said."
"But why?"
. She had gone further now than she
had intended to go. But u spirit rt
daring, a confidence in her own dis-
cretion, pushed her on:e,-
"Suppose I had—net somebody—1
Irked better?" she asked, simply, with
an innocent, wide-eyed smile.
"Yoe mean," Chris altered it, sitar
a pause, "you mean suppose yin) had
mat someone you thought you liked
better?"
Mary Ieate considered this.
"What's the difference" she pres-
ently demanded, "between liking a
person, and thinking you like a pee-
wit?"
'Ton could be deceived about it,
couldn't you?"
"Well—" She was -thinking aloui
again, searching for words, "You
could find out you had been mistaken,
I suppose," she conceded.
"Exactly. And then you would say
to yourself. 'I gave up what was real
for what was imitation,' wouldn't
yon?"
"I suppose you would."
Chris lighted another cigarette. The
waiter brought a small tray w:th sil-
ver and green crumpled bills on it,
and Mary Kate watched the lean, big,
nervous, brown hand handling them,
pushing some back, straightening
others into the neat leather pocket -

form it will apparently remain in a

from the dietary standpoint is doubt-

A keen, sweet fragrance lies along

The odor of the tall Canadian pine:
How 'soft the sunbeams on his
needles shine,
And where the snow has left the
forest bare,
He spreads his russet carpet every-
where,
High in his swaying top the croon-
ing wind
Eases his stormy soul—tine out of
mind
He sought his ancient, steadfast
solace there.
And so I Lind be:teeth the sturdy

The Beghning
Of the Alphabet
At last there seems to be a possi-
bility of tracing the Roman alphabet
to its lair, declares The Christian
Science Monitor. It is a source of
never -failing wonder that all the
world's wisdom can be preserved and
communicated by means as simple as
a series of rearrangements of twenty-
etx arbitrary,•ans hi themselves mean-
ingless, symbols. For centuries
soholars have been trying, but without
success, to llud when, and where, and
,how these symbols came to bear the
signideatice that they do to -day. Suc-
cess is not even now ltttaiued, but a
great impetus has been given to the
search by discoveries that have re-
eently been made in Syria.
In May, 1929, a tablet inscribed with
cuneiform characters was found near
Latakia, in Syria. This has now been
deciphered by M. Virolleaud of the
Sorbonne and dated somewhere in the
thirteenth century B.C. Still further
tablets have since been discovered,
Including a lexicon, a long poem and
a bilingual dictionary. Among the
most interesting deductions to be
iralvn Hem them Is the existence of a
hitherto entirely unknown language.
But it is to thio light they throw on
the origin of the Roman alphabet that
attention will be chiefly directed.
This Western alphabet derives from
the Greek, and the Greek from rho
Semitic --the letters of the Greek al-
phabet, so far as their etynsologY 3s
known, being words in the Semitic
language. But wirer tite question is
asked, "Where dill the Semitic alpha-
bet conte from?" the road ceases to
be clear. Some seholars have looked
to Egypt, some to Cyprus, others to
the ]Mucin writings of Crete for the
elusive origins of the Western written
languages. The eunr:iforni script ai-
SO has had its adherents, and it Is
possible that the recent discoveries at
Latakia may bring to light facts that
will finally settle whether it is in this
direction that one must look for the
beginnings of the alphabet.

Bad Writing and Bad Spelling
London Evening Standard (Iud.
Cons,): Bad writing is very often sup-
posed to be a sign of some sort of dIs-
tlnctiou, whether intellectual or social.
There are people who boast of it, eer-
reedy many people who could write
very much better with little, if any, •
more trouble, but who make not the
elightest effort to do so. Few, on tite
other hand, are anything but ashamed
of bad spelling, which is supposed to
bo tbo betraying nark of either cre-
tinism or an inferior education. Yet
from the point of view of utility bac
spelling is far preferable to bad writ
ing. A word is rarely so 101' misspelt
that the reader /me to puzzle over!
for even a moment to discover Its
meaning.
