SYNOPSIS
Mary Rate and Martin are the onl
two working members of the Wid9.
O'Hara's family. Martin has an Oppot
tunity to go to Germany to study medi
cine, but shortage of funds • will not per
snit. Then Christopher Steynes, a Prion
of Mary's employer, proposes .that sh
play thepartofhis wife for twenty -fou
hours- in 'order 'to discourage the atten
tions of a Russian duchess. Steyngs' dffex
meabs enough money to,let Martin tak
his opportunity. Mary meets Steynes t
Burlingame. He takes• her- to his hour
and then to a dinner, where they nee
said. suddenly. "Wouldn't it be the
y very deuce -wouldn't it be the limit,
if-"
He caught his breath and stopped,
"If what?""'Mary Kate asked.
e "Pee been thinking this all even -
r' ing, Christopher said. "I mean, if you
r and I fell in love "with each other?"
e He laughed nervot.sly as 'he said it.
e Mary Kate, who had seated herself in
t a formal high chair of carved' black
wood, was the more composed of the
two. „
"I thought of that," she said`simp-
ly. - "It was a natural enough Shing
to. think, I suppose. 'rut -nut of
course-" •
�.
Of . course what?" Chri
fstopher
said in an odd constrained voice,
Watching lien.
"Well, of course, I'm engagedl" she
explained, looking up with a •smile.
"And mer people have slightly differ-
ent plans for me!" he added lightly.
She did not like, the tone; the rich
man tone.
"I suppose .sol"
happen to be an only son and
an only grandson!" he went on, ,
It eve. not quite saying that 'she
was not good enough for pini, but the
inference was unavoidable, Mary
Kate ignored it.
"I mean, my clear," Chris said eas-
ily, "that if they new the whole ridi-
culous story, you'd now .hat they'd
rise in a snob and slay us both!"
She continued to look dreamily into
the fire, car'efolly indifferent. But
she was furious.
"That wasn't in our ,agreement!"
she reminded him, elaborately stiffling
a yawn.
"Exactly!" Chris conceded, without
changing his expression. "S-sh1" he
said, raising his hand, listening.
There were steps in the patio;
somebody knocked twice on the ,door,
with a heavy iron knocker:
The color drained from Mary Kate's
face, leaving 'it terrified. She half
rose from her chair, one hand clutch-
ing at her heart. The clock struck
the half hour after one.

"Oh-? Oh, not many. Doeen,

"You: good wife -does not care
Madame Yarnowska said. with t

Mary•Kate, muffled in quilted-breca
and white fur, now made the circ
of good nights and was out in the co
fresh dark again, with Chrb, bele
escorted carefully down to the ear.
"It's over!" she exulted, and th
moved between silent gardens and t
dim 'bulk of great trees, under a.so
dark blue night sky, toward El Hoge
"It registered just one hundred p
cent.," Chris said. "They would n

"I was frightfully nervous at first
Mary Kate confessed, huddling herse
into her furs.
"But there wasn't anything to i

"No it's' been lots of fun!"
They went into the hacienda, white

glow.

luxuriously into the brocade and fu
lingered for a moment in the bi
drawing room.
"D'you need that coat?"
She flung it -off, and stood besid
him at the hearth, looking up expec
tautly. The firelight was pink on th
rich folds of her gown; the beautift
shining waves of her flaming hai
were tossed back carefully from he
forehead. Her"sapphire eyes wer
fixed. on his face.
"Your mother's living, isn't she?"
"Mother? I'll say she's living!

phrase with a little laugh?
"Father?"
"No, my father died seven year

' "Stay just whore you are," Chris-
topher said quickly. "It's nothing -
I'll see' what it is."
He went across the room, opened
the outer door. The apologetic round
face of Don Archibald, one of the
guests at the recent dinner party, ap-
peared in the opening.
"This is a hell of a time to conte
.young Archibald said, entering.
His evening clothes were rumpled and
dusty, his hands and face dirty, "I'm
awfully sorry, Chris-" lie said.
"But what a ,'elle£!" Mary Kate
exclaimed, on a long breath
"What's happened?" Christopher
asked.
The caller flung himself into a deep
ehair, stretched a hand gratefully for
the cigarete his host extended. Mary
Kate subsided, panting, into her own
chair.
"I don't see how you dared open
that door!" she said to Christopher.
"I knew it was some ass like this,"
Chris said. He and Don Archibald
had been in Princeton together. They
grinned arnlably at each other,
"I tell you," Don said then. "I
drove my own tar down from San
Francisco to Gordon's, do you see?

"You had a fat nerve!" Chris said
amiably.
"I came up here into your patio. 1
thought you'd hear me falling around
on the chairs."
"I'd have taken a shot at you,"
Christopher 'assured him. "I have a
nice little gun upstairs here."
"Hear 'on talking about burglaries
tonight?" Don asked, -
"There's been a kind of an epi-
demic"' the host said, with a nod.
Mary Kate sat in a high-backed
Spanish chair, feeling suddenly weary
and cold. The evening had gone fiat
Neither of the men was taking any
particular pains to include her in the
conversation; they were talking to
each other, glancing only at each
other. Since bon Archibald hail taken
had taken the chair opposite her own,
and Chris had handed him his long

Arctic Tern and Hum;) ing Bird
Are World's Greatest Fliers
Philadelphia. -imagine being able
to travel 22,000 miles a year, follosw
ing tite climate you liked the bast, and,
being entire' independent .of trains,
automobiles, boats or even airplanes,
That is what the arctic tern, a species
of sea gull, does, winging its way from
the arctic to the antarctic, a distance
of 11,000 miles, twice a year, And im-
agine being able to plot this journey
straight through from pole to pole
without aid of compass or map. Yet,
according to Charles P. Sehoffner,
author of "The Bird Book," and asso-
ciate editor of the Farm Journal, one
of these same terns, taken from its
nest and liberated in mid -ocean, was
able to find ite,,n'ay back to its home
again.
"'The tiny humming bird," said Mr.
"Schoffner, "Maintaining the balance of
its butterfly -size body by such rapid
beating of its wings that they give the
same blurred effect as the revolving
airplane propeller, travels across Con.
thient and eeean to winter in Squab:
America.'
"Birds aro the natural enemies . of
insects," Mr, Shaffner pointed out in
his earnest plea for more adequate
bird protection by individuals and by
law. 'The annual loss to agriculture
•in the United States caused by insect
pests amounts 25 at least 31,000,-
000,000.
"Nearly all species of birds feed
their young on insets, and young
birds require an almost phenomenal
amount of food. I personally know of
a faintly of martins that fed its young'
300 tines in oue day. The adults not
only carry one insect to their young
at a time, but many. I have seen a
bluebird with so many insects in her
mouth that they looked like a round
ball.
"For all time service herds render to
mankind," Mr. Shoffner continued,
"they- ask very little,• only food and
protection."

of five "fingers". Each "finger" had.
three joints or possibly more. No
teeth were found,
