"Very well, • Tokalji assured, "It

He stepped aside, and waved us per-
mission to go; and we walked through
the courtyard' to the crumbling wall
which rimmed the Bosphorus at one
point, its base a rubble -heap, its bat-
tlements in .fragments, its platform
overgrown with weeds.
"It would not be difficult 'to climb
up here,' I said idly, pointing to the
gaps be`•tivecri the stones, and the slop-
ing piles of bowldees, We strolled over
to theyoung men's quarters, and while
I wraprerl myself in a gloomy atmos-
phere, Nikka swapped anecdotes of

GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII.
There were two interesting char-
acters close at hand. One was a stat-
wart, black -bearded man, with a seam-
ed wicked face that wore a habitual
scowl.. The other was a girl of per-
haps eighteen, whose tissotne figure set
off her ragged dress like a Paquin toil-
ette. She was very brown.
She regarded me almost with con-
tempt, but her eyes fairly devoured
Nikka.
"This is the one," she cried, "he ran
like that stallion we had from the
Arab of Nejd, and you Should have
good enough for us," he decided, But
where do you live, maiden?"
Her face glowed rosily with satis-
faction at this first evidence of his
interest in herself.
"Across the court," she answered.
"Come ar.d you shall see."
We descended the stairs into the big
hall on the ground -floor, and crossed
the courtyard to the building opposite
on the right of the entrance and
through a door.
,.'These are the quarters of the mar- BY ANNABELLE WORTHINGTON
ried people," explained Kara.
"And you?" asked Nikka.
"Oh, I live where I choose, but most
of all I like my garden."
"Your garden? Where is there a
garden?"
"I will show you, Giorgi Bordu."
Kara crossed the room and opened
another door. This led to a pillared
portico, and I gasped in wonder at the
sheer loveliness of this morsel of im-
perial Byzantium, buried in the frowsy

I dug my fingers into Nikka's arm.
"Yes, ores," he said quietly in Eng-
lish. "I see it, too. But do not let
yourself seem excited."
Involuntarily I repeated to myee f
the concluding sentences of the In-
structions which we had all memor-

"Yes, yes," he 'insisted, "that is
right. So you said, my lad, and if you
would have shelter you must pay for

"So will I."
Nikka flung the money -belt, some
loose change and a watch down on
the ground, and squatted beside them.
The rest of us did the sante. The
girl seized the belt and emptied the
compat•tutents, one by one.

"This was worth taking. You are a

"I ant called Giorgi Bordu. My

and began shifting the money into

I passed the center of the fountain

a red one about three and a half paces,

Nikka and Kara soon returned and
we proceeded back to our quarters. On
the way, we met. Tokalji who dismiss-
ed Kara and escorted us up the stairs
into a large chamber where he himself
slept.

A fresh romance has been added to
the history of literature, says a writer
in John 0' London's Weekly, and a
new key put into our hands to the
soelal life of the eighteenth Century
—a period of which the more we
know, the mora we want to know.

Use MInard'a for Rheumatism. ' i
Make Accurate Measurements
of His Physical; Manual,
Social and Mental
Powers
13y Rowena Ripin, Lecturer in Psych-
ology, Barnard College.
There are tests for arithmetical reg-
soniug, stenographic ability, ethical
discrimination, emotional instability
and`manu:' dexterity, not to mention
tho so-called intelligence tests and
others :which are calculated to mea-
sure various aptitudes and traits in
men, won and children. Now comes
a series of tests for the baby, stand-
ardized to ineasure Misr -accomplish-
ments. This will enable the parent t,i.
know, long before the child's entrance
into school, whether his general de-•
velopinent is retarded or accelerated,
and how he stands with respect to
physical, mental, social and manual
traits. And grandmother's boasts of
the bright baby can now 'be checked
uP by exact measurements.
For the first time also in the his-
tory of tests, a soned,picture has been
made of a sample demonstration for
educational purposes. It is to be
shown in training schools for teachers
to familiarize them with the child's
development prior to the school-age,
and to enable them to grasp the se-
quence of his growth as a whole.
The mental tests begin by measur
lug the child's sense -perception, his
reactions to light and sound. To trace
this development with respect to vis-
ual stimuli we have the following
series. The 2 -mouths test is focusing
the glance at an Object; at 3 months
the child follows a moving object with
hie eyes and looks after the examin-
er's face when -he makes it disappear.
By this time, too, he distinguishes be-
tween the examiner's face and a mask
which she places over it. At 4 months
he looks about actively in a new situa-
tion,, and at 5 months he looks for a
Joel toy. When presented at 10
months with a toy behind a glass plate
his perception is so developed that he
reaches around the glass instead of
trying to go through it in order to pro-
cure the top. At i year he prefers fig-
ured surfaces to plain and by the end
of the second year he recognizes sim-
ple pictures.
1'1ie'ehild's powers of imitation also
come In for their share of testing.
Whet, there Is the imitation of siugle
sounds and easy facial expressions,
such as ticking out the tongue. Then
from the eventh month on there is
imitation of actions involving ma-
terials—knocking against the crib
with. a rattle, opening and shutting a
picture book, etc.
When the child is 2 months old the
tests show that he should be able to
bold his head up when placed in the
prone position, to focus his eyes on a
moving, shiny object, to return the
glance of the adult and to show by his
reactions that he distinguishes be-
tween the adult's natural and his
growling tone of: voice. At the one-
year level he should be able to hold.
something while standing and, while
walking with support, should observe
his reflection in the mirror and grasp
at a tracker he sees there.
These are briefly some of the tests
edueatioual implications for the home.
When the series is carried further to
include the nursery school and school
ages it will undoubtedly extend its

The' cause of colds, which cost Un-

experiments an animals and human
beings.
"Insculation of freshly isolated
strains of this organism into the nasal

Pfeiffer said, "produced she typical

(colds). In these cases a coccus, bio-
logically identical with those injected,
was recovered from the discharge as
long as the symptoms persisted and
some time thereafter."
Experiments on human beings were
made comparatively easy by the char-

were willing to take a chance on
