FROM STONES, Prehistoric Reizu&ns Throw Light on Our .itetnote Ancestors. Most people have seen pietiaret of Phoenician traders offet'ing; ,their wares in. exchange for tin to Ancient Britons on the Cornish coast, and so know that, even before the coming of the Minutes, Britain was in touch with the outside world, says a writer in Tit -Bits. But few people realize just how far the inluence of that outside world penetrated, or how curious a light prehistoric 'entains in Britain throw on our remote ancestors. One of the most significant dis- coveries made in the Britsh Isles was brought to light recently at Skara Brae, on the Bay of Skail, in Orkney. Among other relics found was a double axe, the sacred emblem of Crete in the days of the Minoan civilization, probably the oldest civil- ization in the world. There are a number of scientists to -day who believe that civilization started In the Eastern Mediterranean, and was slowly diffused .from there over all the lands which attained auy measure of culture in ancient times. The finding of this double axe in Ork- ney seems to confirm the view that Britain also shared in this very early civilization, and was linked with Crete. A number of interesting discover- ies I,egarding our ancestors have been made during the last twelve months. For instance, many ancient cave dwellings, filled with relics of early man, have been found during a sys- tematic) exploration of the "under- world" of the Peak district. But the number of relics of early man in Britain is surprising. State protection has been extended during recent years to no fewer than sixty- one stone circles or standing stones, ninety-six prehistoric tumuli, and seventy-seven camps and earthworks. Among the earthworks is Grymes Dyke, in Herefordshire, which Is be- lieved to be a -tribal boundary, the work of some unknown invaders of Britain 2,000 years ago. A Kitchener Story. Stories about Lord Kitchener are alwa. s cropping up. Here is one which seems to be new. The civic dignitaries of a certain town wanted to make him a presentation, and de- cided the best thing they could give him would be a piece of china. Being aware of Kitchener's expert knowl- edge of china, the donors were anx- ious to make sure that the proposed piece was likely to meet with his approval, so they put it on the table at a lunch be attended. It was a fine and rare piece, and as soon as the great man sat down he cocked an ap- praising eye upon it, and at once de- cided he must secure it for his own collection, and secure it cheap. So he observed in his gruffest 'voice that the piece was not genuine . . at which the dignitaries, very much depressed, took it back to the dealers! The story is told by Mr. Compton Mackenzie in "Gallipoli Memories." "'es- eZeneetiees The "Hansom." A correspondent who has recently been touring extensively in the Far East writes that there are to be seen �tthere at the present day many of the hansoms tat Wenner y plied ate Meets, says the „40don y Obroneele.

In a game in which partners for the evening are chosen, Lucy is won by Tini Stevens who has a great reputation as a heart- breaker, Leeson is a bit jealous, Tim Stevens tells Lucy they are going aboard his boat, the Minerva, and she accedes in order not to be "a quitt- er." Asked if ,she . is sorry that he won her compay she says she is not and that evidently Fate has arranged it.. Tim thereupon tells her to stop looking, regretfully after Leeson. Aboard Stevens' boat, the Minerva, Stevens tells Lucy of his love. When she replies with contempt for him, he grows violently angry and she be- comes ecomes afraid of him. He says that he will never let her go from the Minerva until . she accepts him. To escape him, she leaps into the water from her cabin window, •swimming a short distance underwater. Lucy reaches land and meets Dr. Fergus Faunce on an island. He takes care of her and takes her home. Everyone is worried about her, and when she meets Stevens he is frantic, regretful and still ardent in protesta- tions rotestations of love. Leeson informs Lucy -that Stevens must raise a quarter of a million dol- lars or go to jail—"at five o'clock". Lucy goes to her bank and raises the sum. Half an hour later her chair paus- ed before the gate of Steven's place, out beyond Vita Serena, in southern Palm Beach. He was in his garden, at a tabla on which lay something that looked like a check -book. He I yet you'd save vie, Well, I'd take money only 'from the woman I was married to, and I'd hate to take it from her. "But you would?" she asked. He shrugged. "To avoid jail, yes." "Then," she said, "I'll have to marry you. To -day. Now!" Had Diana, sojourning at Jupiter's palace on ,Olympus, slipped down the mountainside and in some wayside parsonage in Thessaly taken unto her- self a husband, the scandal would have been comparable to the marriage of Devil -May -Care. Apparently hurried wedding, among people nationally known, are bound to cause gossip. But neither he nor Lucy would have cared a 'whit for that. Had their marriage been one of equal love and trust, they would have, been uninterested in' the nasty speculations of nasty people. But Lucy hadleft him. She had strolled out of his patio as uncon- cernedly as though she had been hav- ing tea and was now on her way home to dress for dinner. Home! She had gone home! Devil -May -Care she was called. Wel, the insouciance that defied death itself could not defy Tini Stevens. He knew his rights and he would have them. He'd force— But he slumped back in the wicker chair that protest- ed -against his twisted bulk. He'd tried to force Lucy last night and she had chosen almost certain death in preference to himself. He might as well face the facts; he was no nearer Lucy now than he was before the minister had read the marriage cere- mony to them. To marry a man who positively ra- vened for her, and then coolly deny herself . That, he thought, was the sew 'Would you mind, terribly, being in a scandal?" vas writing iii it, but looked up as Lucy approached and waved away the colored servant who had admitted her. He rose and stared at her. He had shaved, had donned fresh flannels, a colored shirt, and a gay tie. He could wear clothes, she in- consequently thought, better than any man she had ever seen. "This is a surprise," he said. She made no reply but opened the satchel and dumped the money upon the table. "What's it all about?" he asked. "To save you from jail," she repli- ed. aliif�4irdluwrcmnr3uu�.�1u[ Bad successful Year..

"Jail?" he echoed. "Mr. Leeson has seen. me. He told me that the man who wanted to mar- ry xne was a thief. Perhaps, Tim, one reason you professed such great de- votion was because of what money I possess,' ' She was looking right at hint, but his eyes never flickered. His hand moved toward the check -book; he swept a .piece of paper from. it and tore it into tiny bits. "Perhaps," he agreed calmly. "But . , . inasmuch as I'm not to marry you, I'd hardly take your money." There was a hard finality in his voice. "Not even to keep out of jail?" she demanded, "You're a shade better than I thought."

"I'm in trouble," she. said, "Of course," he said, "Why `of course'?" she' demanded, "All people are in trouble, always: They may not know it, but the fact remains." "Well, 1 know it, and— Suppose I just waited to stay here—oh, for as long as I chose, Fergus Pounce." "Then here you should remain," he stated flatly. And that reputation of your which I have just mentioned?" "Would be as unimportant as I have just indicated to you!" he laugh- ed. "But your own reputation: that would be a thing not lightly to be smirched by any act, even though merely .acquiescent, of mine." "In other words, you'd leave me, lest scandal-" He shook his head. "No, I don't think so. You didn't come here lightly, my child. You did some thinking. I simply said I would not lightly smirch you. Let's hear your reasons." "1 sha'n't ask for them again. Suffi- cient unto the day is the Lucy there- of." "Then I am evil?" She. caught at his paraphrase. "That was unfortunately put. Let me say that the Lord said, "Let there be Lucy, and there was Lucy. 1" "That is better, much better," she said judicially. She lighted another cigarette, re- moved her hand from its abiding - place upon his knee. She puffed at it slowly. "Were you ever a damn fool, Fer- gus Faunce?" she asked. "Yes," he replied. "I'm glad of that," she said. "Were you ever in a scandal, . Fergus Faunce?" "No," he replied. "Would you mind, terribly, being in one?" "Not particularly," he answered. "Would it affect your practice?" ,she persisted. "Not in the slightest. Patients come to me for my skill with a knife, not for my morals." "I was married to -day," she said lazily. .:..
