The Duchess Internees By CORA LINDA. PART IL The shop was shut. The night air was fresh and keen. Even in Fulham there was something exhilarating in the atmosphere. Ninette sat very close to Bill on a seat that faced the river. Old Father Thames lapped gently at their feet and the lights of Putney Bridge twinkled at them in friendly fashion. Ninette was smiling to herself, such a tender wonderful smile, and her hand slipped through the man's arm. He was so big and strong and good to look upon, and he had grown strange- ly dear to her. Bill was staring straight in front of him. At the touch of those soft fing- ers he winced. Then, unconsciously almost, the girl's head dropped for- ward against his shoulder. A half-suppre.=sed exclamation cane from him. The next moment Ninette was caught and crushed in a fierce embrace. He was kissing her. "I love you, Ninette, I love you," he cried hoarsely. And Ninette was returning his kiss- es with all the fervor of her awaken- ing womanhood. "My darling!" They talked as lovers talk—Bill told her of the time when he was a soldier. He told her, too, that he'd been wait- ing for her through the years. But he didn't tell her he was the son of the Earl of Melton—not because he wanted to deceive her, but since he had been behind a counter he had learnt to view life from a different angle. * * * William Dysart hummed a merry tune as he put up pounds of sugar in blue paper bags; the small boy, whom the growth of the business had nec- essitated, grinned knowingly, and surreptitiously helped himself to some bull's-eyes. And then someone came through the door with a rush and dropped into a chair beside the counter; it was Ninette. Bill was at her side in a twinkling. 5V2% Interest PAYABLE HALF YEARLY Allowed on money left with us for from three to ten years. Write for Booklet. ,The Great West Permanent Loan Company.

What on earth's the matter." But she only cried more piteously-. Bill was all at sea. He could only hug her tighter and wait. At length she managed to get out between sobs: "Pa's found oat all about us. He won't let me marry you. He—he locked nee up in my bedroom and said I'd have to stay there till I cane to my senses." Once more Ninette dissolved into tears. "Oh, he did, olid lie!" said Bill, ag- gressively. Then a thought struck him. "But you're here." At which Ninette sat up very straight and indignant. "You didn't think I would stay in my bedroom, did you? I got through the window, and here I am; and, Bill, I won't go back. You've got to marry ine" She looked up at him with big, tear - drenched eyes and a pleading expres- sion. Bill stood staring at her, hands thrust deep into trouser pockets, a very worried -looking young man. "Don't you want to marry nie?" she flashed. "You know I do, but hang it all, how can I marry you with all those appall- ing jain pots staring me in the face?" "Bill, I never thought you would throw my parents in my face," Nin- ette cried bitterly. "My dear girl, it's not your parents that I quarrel with, it's your money, money, I'm a grocer, and it will be years before I should dare to take a wife who's been used to luxuries. Why, you'd be miserable," he ended, desperately. Ninette gazed into his eyes. She was such a slip of a thing, just up to his heart. • "Please, Bill, marry me; let me serve behind the counter. I'd love it." A car stopped outside William Dy- sart's shop; an elderly gentleman with a red face and white hair, who was short of breath and temper, almost fell out of the tonneau in his anxiety to get to William Dysart's door. "Where is he? Where's the scoun- drel?" he demanded, once he had crossed its threshold. The small boy carie forward with a smirk. "Did you want to see the master, sir?" he asked ingratiatingly. "Yes, I do," the other thundered. The door at the back opened, and there stood two young people, arm linked in arm, eyes shining. When Mr. James Parsons saw them he became so purple in the face that apoplexy seemed imminent. "Hallett, dad," Ninette said, sweet- ly. "Here I am." Mr. Parsons tried to speak; he could only foam at the mouth. Bill came forward, hand out- stretched. "How clo you do, sir! You are Ninette's father?" Then Mr. Parsons found his tongue. "Ninette, you wicked, undutiful, shameless child, I have tonne to take you back to your father's roof to save you from this—this adventurer. I have succeeded in inducing the Duch- ess of Crook to come with ine. She is outside; you can't refuse to cone for her." In spite of his genuine anxiety about his daughter, it was ludicrously evident that Mr. James Parsons re- garded the Duchess' intervention as nothing short of divine. He had be- come friendly with her through a mutual interest in the housing ques- tion. The Duchess, curious to see this daring grocer who had stolen the heart of the Jani Ring's daughter, strolled from the car and entered the doorway. Across the heads of Ninette and her father two pairs of eyes met, those of Bill Dysart and the Duchess of Crook. "Good heavens, BIM" that aristo- cratic person cried in amazement, ad- dlilvsi,ra hes' Irergnettc as th eOlg n she couldn't trust the evidence of a pair 1 of eyes whose long service had ren- dered -them a trifle dim. "My dear aunt." Bill came forward, and to the horror of Mr. James Par- sons, embraced that Most awesome, most sacred of beings—an English duchess, Of ccotu se, t11Ore 'WM lots of ex- planations to be made in that homely little parlor behind the homely little shop. The Duchess, who hada keen sense of humor, endeetvored to keep a straight face, Ninette held on very tightly to Bill's hand. As for Mr. James Parsons, he had now developed into a most complacent lamb. While he talked to the Duchess and his future son-in-law he was mentally saying to himself: "My daughter, Lady Farquhar." "Bill," the Duchess said, suddenly. "Was that what you borrowed that three hundred from me for?" 13111 glanced round. the parlor and his gaze drifted affectionately to the l;ttle shop in front. "It was, aunty; your money was never better spent." And the Dpch'ess, being tactful, steered the beaming papa into the aforesaid shop. in order to cast his discerning eye around the stook. Bill held out his arms—and Ninette snuggled into them. "Ninette, you loved me as a grocer," he said, softly. "I'd love you as a dustman," was her answer. (The End.)

Many traits of a person's character are revealed by the hands. The thumb is in itself an interesting indicator. Small and weak thumbs denote a character full of weakness, mental and physical, but the well-de- veloped, well -shaped, fairly thick, and correspondingly long thumb foretells an evenly -balanced character, with good intellectual powers, together with a sense of refinement and culture. If the thumb be divided into three parts, the first part will include the nail, the second the portion called the joint, and the third the root. If all three proportions are equal the character of the individual is nor- mal. Should the second part be thick,! the owner is devoid of refinement. If you wish to study the hand care- fully, hold it out openly. When in this position, should the thumb be set close to the fingers, it is a. sure sign that the possessor is nervous, weak- willed, and dependent upon others for mental strength. When the thumb stands out too far from the fingers, it indicates generosi- ty and boldness to a fault, the love of adventure, and an inclination to be extravagant in thought as well as in action. People with short, broad nails are critical, and have a keen sense of humor. Imaginative folk usually have long nails, and are poetic and deeply sympathetic towards others. Friendship. A. simple gift in need, a senile, Kind words, a look, or sigh Are priceless rubies all the while, Bright stars in friendship's sky.

When you have been suffering from a bad cold have you ;noticed what a long time it hangs about? The handkerchief is responsible, for each time you use it you reinfect your- self. No one would think of cleansing a wound and then replacing the dirty bandage on it, yet that is what we do when we continue to use the same handkerchief for a cold. The power of eucalyptus to kill the germ is well known, and a handker- chief liberally supplied with it is ren- dered as nearly disinfected as possible, considering that the handkerchief is repeatedly used. 'Unfortunately, so many people dislike it. I have discovered that by using eu- calyptus on a supply of paper hand- kerchiefs, when used once only and destroyed, a bad cold can be cured within a very few days, for by this treatment every application of the handkerchief to the nose carries with it fresh disinfectant, and being used only once no reinfection can possibly take place. A clean, properly disin- fected handkerchief is of the greatest value to use for breathing through where there is dust, bad smells, or infection of any kind. Used to It.

Operate in Groups and Con- trol Different Functions of the Body. There are spirits abroad in these days. So declares the mystic—the believer in the occult. What does the psychologist—the scientific student of mind—have to say on the subject? Ho says that in the house of the mind, which we call the brain, there dwells not one tenant merely, but a multitude. It is an empire of innum- erable spirits which live together In the space of about a quarter of a cubic foot. Spirits they must be called because they are psychic entities; yet, at the sante time, they are -material realities, having living forms of bodily presence, sustained by the nourishing currents of the blood. - Here, in other words, we have avast number of little •intelligences, which form a Harmonious community., living together and working together. There are in your brain about 200,- 000,000 nerve cells, each one of which contains a tiny spirit. Each spirit has its own particular work to do; and so long as the little intelligences work together in harmony it is well with you. But if through any cause a dis- agreement were to occur among them, it would be a dreadful misfortune, for then your mind would go astray. Operate in Groups. In order to do thea;r work to best advantage, the spirits are split up into groups, each of which has special duties to perform. They do not op- erate as individuals, but always in groups. Some groups appear to have nothing to do but to record sensations —of sight, hearing, taste or what not. They have charge of the telegraphic system that extends and ramifies through all parts of the body, consti- tuting, as one ;night say, information battalions. Other groups exorcise mechanical functions. It is their business to di- rect the movements of the muscles of the body. Thus in the middle of the top of the brain is a group that gov- erns the movements of the foot and leg; further down, another that con- trols the arm and hand; lower still, another that has charge of the lips and tongue. In this last "motor area" is the speech 'centre. If that part of your brain were badly injured you - could not •talk. Certo:n groups attend exclusively to rho business of storing memories— a task of utmost imaginable import- ance, inasmuch as your memories con- stitute the whole background of your mind. Without them you could do no thinking. Countless millions of mem- ories are filed away in your brain; and, as if for the purpose of render- ing thein more quickly and easily ac- cessible for reference, the little spir- its have therm classified in separate cases, so to speak, according to kind. Rooms in the Brain. Low town on each side of the head, above the ears, are stored the mem- ories of sounds. There are filed all the nursery rhymes, old college songs and tuneful bits of operas that have delighted us. Near by, in the third frontal convolution, are the words of our mother tongue. The verses we learned in childhood, the Lord's Pray- er and fragments of the catechism are there. At the back of the brain, low down, is the storage place for visual memo- ries. It is full of pictures of all kinds—the faces of dear old friends, street scenes, everything imaginable. Intelligence and the moral percep- tions seem. to be located chiefly in the front part of the brain, behind the forehead. Here are the higher psychic centres. If the physical structures representing them suffer injury from a blow or other cause, aberrations of character and intellect result. The spiritual empire is deprived of the , guidance and •coi�i:rol ordinarily exer- clised over it as a whole. In the front and upper portions of the brain reside the aristocracy of the empire of the hind. There are to 'be found the little spirits that do the real thinking for us—the ifltielligences that plan, that invent and that nmake: the progress of the world. Over the industrial groups, so to call them, thea exercise full sovereignty. Marching Orders. Tramp—"Yes, ant, I'm an old sole dier; fought in the —" leIrs.
