He placed the jar carefully on a
corner of the desk.
"I'in sorry, Jack," she said wearily.
"I -didn't want to disturb you, but the
sheer loneliness of the place is getting
on my nerves. I just had to come in."
Sheslipped into the chair he had
pushed forward, and the kitten, free-
ing itself with an effort, begap chas-
ing a giant cockroach across the floor.
"You've got a touch of fever," sug-
gested Ilewitt, sympathetically.:"Bet-

The Commissioner •perched himself
on the table. •
"He'll -come back all right," he de-
clared, aware all the time of a certain
unaccountable huskiness: in his throat

"Is that the thing?" she demanded.
dully.
Hewitt nodded.
She left her chair and crept for-
ward, half -fearfully, her hands out-
stretched in front of her, Presently
she stood before the jar, loking wist-
fully down at it.
"And to think—that everything de-
pends on -that! everything, at least,

',Tho -Commissioner jerked up his
head and stared hard at the wall in
front of him. Ile ,did not want to
discover how Moniea knew, but the
very fact that she did know stattled
him. • In the silence that followed, he
caught the measured tread of the sen-
try on duty outside, -the insistent hum
of nocturnal 'nacelle, the pattering of
the absurd kitten across the boards.
On a tray by the bookshelf there re-
posed a decanter and glasses. He
wentover to it and poured out a stiff
tot.
She took it unquestionably; making
a wry face as the spirit burnt her
throat.
"So—Pennington does matter?" he
said quietly.
The warm blood mounted to her
cheeks. •
"Of course."
"I'm glad of that."
He was placing the glass back on
the tray when he realized that his
sisterhad followed; him across the
room. t
"Must we keep that' Wretched jar
here? Can't you just look in—to make
sure—and send it back to them
again?" -
He shook his head and laughed to
dispel a certain uncomfortable inward
feeling that Monica's presentmood
inspired.
"That's the devil of it," he told
her. "I can't find out how it works."

"Whydon't you send for a black-

"I should scarcely like to do that.
You see, it wouldn't be policy to pro-
voke any further unpleasantness by
deliberately "committing sacrilege. Be-
sides, it's an. uncommonly fine urn."
He looked down at his watch. "Time
wo got to bed. Lien -Yin's coming
round in ,the morning -and thenwe
shall know all about it."
She clutched at his sleeve.
"Jack, I can't ' sleep here with that
thing in the house. I've been feeling
perfectly horrible ever since' they
brought it here. " You call it nerves,
I know, but I've seen things at the
window—"
"What sort of things?"
"I can't quite explain. Just vague,

In spite of himself, the Commis-
sioner glanced at the wide open`•aper-
ture through which the cool night air
filtered. His keen gaze fell upon no-
thing but' the rectangular patch of
blackness she had expected to see. He
walked deliberately to it eind tossed
the end of hits cigar into the garden.
"There is nothing there, you see,"
he declared. "I tell you what it is,
Monica. You're worrying too niuch
about :young Pennington, ,and you
want a holiday. If you 'take niy ad-
vice, you'll get married as soon as he
comes back—and get him to take you
for a; long sea ,trip."
"Aren't you looking rather far
ahead?" said Monica demurely. "You

"In which case;" smiled .hoer bro-
ther, "there's nothing on earth to pre-

But Monica was not listening. She
was passing her fingers over the metal
surface, '
"I fancy that band has something
to do.with 'it -the band with the four
little gold studs."
She held her thumb poised over the
nearest of the four gold knobs. It hov-.

plunged wildly through the open win-
dow, landed in,a crouching attitude on
the bare boards, and, extending a lean
arm, thrust her bodily into a corner.
The bronze jar toppled awkwardly
and rolled to the floor, where the Si-
amese kitten fell upon it in a frenzy
of delight. Hewitt wrenched open the
drawer in which his auto/retie ,lay,
and Monica, her eyes wide open with
terror, ;leant helplessly ,:against the

She had recovered from the surprise
his sudden entry had given her. Her
cheeks' were flushed and the folds of
the kimono at her bosom rose and
fell in tun wieth her quick breathing.

looked across at the Commissioner.
"What -did you suppose was inside?"

lenge.

Hewitt pasped a clammy hand over
his forehead.
Suddenly Monica uttered a little
scream and pointed wildly to the floor.
'Phe : Siamese kitten that had been
playing with the bronze urn wasly-
ing on its back, kicking spasmodically.
The movements ceased abruptly and

it, the wretched creature was dead.
More amazing still, the bron2e ;jar lay
open,' its gaping mouth, dark and hol-
low like a tunnel, displaying no sign
of the remains Hewitt had expected to
see.
"Poisoned!" said the Commissioner
hoarsely. "Poor little devil!"
"It was playing with the gold stud,"
declared the girl sorrowfully. "Mr.
Pennington, you don't think—?"
"Ido! I knew it before I came in.
I've been hanging , around here all
evening, trying to' give Lien -Yin the
slip and prevent you both --making
fools 'of yourselves."
He turned the jar with his foot and'
all three recoiled in horror.
There fluttered out on to the floor
a strip of pasteboard. 'By a freak of
chance, it fell face, uppern'ioet, show-
ing seven black dots on a vivid yellow
ground—the dread sign of the Yellow
Seven!
The Cornmissioneriwas, the first to
move.
"Look here, Pennington," he shout-
ed, "where's this fellow Lien -Yin?"
The other nodded toward the door.
"Yourman's got !rim --out there.
D'you want to see him?"
"I want to make certain he doesn't
get away." )
He fumbled with something in the
drawer again and made for the ver-
andah. '
Monica looked up at Pennington,
'and there were tears in her eyes.
"I'm heart -broken about Peter,".
she said softly, : "but `I'm awfully
grateful to you for what you did."
"My dear Mrs. Vinay," protested
Pennington, screwing up his eyes.
"For the love of heaven, call her
'Monica'!" bawled the Commissioner
over his shoulder. He went out, slam-
ming the door' after him.

Weaning Babies
The most suitable time for wean-
ing the baby • from mother's milk to
cow's milk and other foods is during
the fall, winterand spring, says Dr.
7dmund .0. Gray in the current issue
of "Physical Culture Magazine." The
best age Is nine or ten months.
"Mothers should not wean their
babies during theaummer months," ad-
vises this physician, "no'r immeriate-
ly before if it can be avoided. June,
July and August especially are the
months to continue feeding as before,
and May and September if they are
very hot. It a child is a year old in
either July or August, it is much bet-
ter to postpone weaning until Septem-
ber. If It is a year old- in June, it
should be started on small amounts
of cow's milk in February so that
weaning can be completed in Ariel—
unless the health of child and mother
18 excellent and much care is taken'
in weaning in June.
"Remember that good milk in 0011
,quantities twill protect a child against
deficiency; diseases, continues' the
"Physical Culture" Writer, "and with
fruits and vegetables will be all the l
child can possibly need. Be careful
to avoid overfeeding eapeclaly in' hot
weather. Do not feed little ones
starchy foods. It• is not difficult to
wean children 1f one does not try to.
feed them like""adults and is not in <a
hurry. 'Patience and intelligence are
above everything else essential."

Holland Has More Bicycles
Than United States Has
Cars
Leyden, Holland,—Bicycles are
more frequent in Hdland than auto-
mobiles in the United States. There
is a "rijwiel;" or bike, to every two
and ope-half inhabitaa:'ts. In a uni-
versity town like Leyden virtually
every student, male or female, owns a
wheel.
The great popularity a the bicycle
ie attributable to the fact that there
are practically no Balls in Holland.
The uniformly level country offers
every '• inducement to save carfare by
pedaling .one's way.
The importance of the bicycle is. rec-
ognized by the •authorities in that they
provide separate "rijwielpads" or bi-
cycle roads •running parallel- to the
autdmobile and horse-drawn vehicle
roads•
The pedestrian in Holland must
take far greater carr not to be run
over by a bicycle than' by an automo-
bile, although the auto is also very
popular.
"Is Mussolini . A Great Man?"
"Millions of Italians are not Fas-
cists, camparatively few are not Mus-
solinians," declares Percy Winner,
former Rome Correspondent for The
Associated Press, in an article in,the
1 July Current history, written after
I constant contact with I1 Duce during
(his Italian experience. He continues:
"Even those who loathe Mussolini,
even courageous patriots convinced
I that he is leading Italy to inevitable
catastrophe, ,aro powerless against
him. Physical and moral intimida-
tion does not suffice to explain the
lack of a true opposition movement.
Ile paralyzes opposition. Why, no
ane knows. But the idea forms the
basis of a Mussolini legend, deliberate
creation of which is no trifling testi-
mony to his genius..
"Mussolini is intuitive, but not pro-
found; .he has tremendous:-- exploita-
tive and organizing ability, but puer-
ile analytical powers; he is forceful'
but incohtrerit:; he is intelligent, but
has no in!:ellectualjgitts.
"Mussolini is a maker at posing.
He has carefully cultivated manner-
isms to replace the scowl which until,
a year ago was featared in all his
posed .photographs. Ho holds his
head well back, with the massive jaw
swung up and out. He clenches his
fist and rests it on his hip with his
legs' wide apart. He walks slowly,
'swinging his haunches" Mr. Winner
says he is "a plagiarist," "an oppor-
tunist," that "ire appropriates sugges'
tions as his, own which his advisers
offer."
Besides, there was an ancioort appeal
in tho Impending contest. It was the
medieval joust brought 'down to a
new world and a new age, Two

Uig lady fair. For Louisa Cody, envied
of the hoop-slcirted and beribboned

Over from Port Wallace, at the
mouth of `Rose Creek an the Smoky

bit cohorts; noisy with confidence.
From Fort • Hayes, on Big Creek,

The champion. scouts met, shook
hands, grinned. The' -crowd cheered
—and bet some more. Then the. match
was on, the spectators keeping up on
horseback, in Army` buckboards, as.
best they could. Five hundred dollars
a side -bet and the undisputed right
to the nickname "Buffalo"—and eight
hqur•s in which to win them!
Sighting a herd of the black tlun-

Using his favorite tactics, Bill threw
a free rein to Brigham, who stretched
his .leng•nose and legs to the head

straight flight until at last he had them
coursing around and around in a small
oirole—tire peculiar heaving gait of

Homes Planned,
With Compass

Before building the house that is -to
be the hone conelder the compass, ad-
vises Marc N. Goodnow in the July
issue of "Your Home." "Tire best
time to determine the advantages or
disadvantages of the various aspects
or exposures for the house or its
rooms is long' before the plans are
fully completed," he observes. '
"The statement would seem to be
afll too obvious," continues the "Your
Home" writer, "but it is remarkable
how many persons find it necessary to
go back and back over their plans,
malting changes and sometimes even
having entirely new plans drawn just
because' they have discovered some
new facts about the .eodiao or they
wish to incorporate andther beautiful
view in the charms of their home. If
they have not yet gone too far it is.
possible to make alterations without
additional cost; but if the foundations
have been laid any changes in the
building are bound to bo expensive.
"The practice of making a model

architects, serves to eliminate, or al

For while Comstock stretched his
