She drank a few drops of soup andfed the dog with pieces of soaked toast, while thoughts whirled through her excited brain. "That devil, John! that devil, John! He'll do it. I can't stand it. Oh, Simeon, Simeon!" Then suddenly her thoughts flew to Mrs. Blankhasset's Masque and her own appearance in the character of the Wandering Wind. The cloak should be blue, almost indigo, or would purple be better? "Oh, I can't bear it, it's the only thing I have in my life, the only thing." • The room grew dark, and pre- sently the harvest moon shone through the open window. A great moth flapped upon the ceiling and Thea's Jhoughts whirled on and on. AUCTIONEERS She felt if her mind were a in squirrel in a horrible treadmill cage which turned and turned and turned.

' Then suddenly she thought of Simeon, and it seemed as if her love for him materialized and be- came wires, which stretched out until they touched him, and with every breath he drew a flash of bliss came travelling back to her. She called up a vision of him: of his tall, beautifully made form, bis bronzed face, his grey eyes set in black lashes and the thick black eyebrows above. She felt the touch of his crisp thick hair. He was part of her. Without him she would be just a dead thing. After that the squirrel In the cage began to whirl again, and she thought of Gladys, wondering how she liked living in a studio.

"Wro"ng—why's is it wrong? It's•. the only happiness I have in life, the only good thing I ever had. You're nothing but a stupid little boy, John, and you don't know any- thing. You're stupid — stupid — stupid and you never will know anything. You're just like all the pictures of all those grandfathers in the Gallery. I believe all the stupidness has been rolling up and up for generatigns until it's all col- lected in you -- stupid — stupid — stupid." She bent towards the boy point- ing at him, her eyes glaring. - John edged away from her. "Stupid be hanged. You're just like some old witch, some mad thing, when you glare like that. But it's got to be stopped, I tell you." He stuck manfully to his point. "I'll give you a day, and then if you won't promise I swear I'll tell Mother." Before he could finish his sent- ence the room was empty. Arrived in her bedroom, Thea flung herself upon her bed, then unable to rest prowled up and down the room. "Why can't they ever leave me alone?" she thought distractedly. "It's no good, I can't stand it. I can't stand it." Jou-Jou whined and scratched at the door. Thea let him in, picked him up and hugged him to her. The warm, live feel of his smooth coat seemed to comfort her. She kissed the back of his head and'he squirm- ed round and tried to lick her face. There was a knock at the door and Nurse entered: • "Good gracious, .Miss Thea! You'll be late for dinner," she be- gan. And then the damp, muddied white skirt caught her eye. "What have you been doing to mess you - self up like that? And your shoes wet, too! And then you'll be sur- prised if you catch your death of cold." The girl glowered at her. "I wish I could catch my death of cold. I often wish I was dead!" "Now, give over, Miss Thea, and don't talk that silly talk. You'd best put your feet in hot water and be quick.

Then all 'at once the whirlings of her brain bore fruit, and she knew quite clearly that she would leave her home, take a studio—in Pembroke Place perhaps—and live her own life in her own fashion. Secure in this knowledge,/ she felt instantly rested and palm. Her course was plain. Difficulties there would be, no doubt, but they would be overcome. There should be no parting be- tween herself and Simeon. The sun was shining and the horrors of the night were past. 040 4% : tAr its boat ` At breakfast Thea looked white and ill; there were shadows under her eyes; her manner, however, was unusually cheerful. From time to time she stared at John, but the boy would not meet her gaze. Jean and Ivor were discussing an approaching visit to the Bish-. op. They had promised to go on the 8th of August to spend two nights at the Palace in order to attend some important church meeting. • "It is not like an ordin- ary party, I should not have ac- cepted a party while I am in, deep mourning," Jean had said, and Iv- or had agreed. "It will be damn- ably dull," was- his mental criti-, cisin„ "but Jean's right: we ought to go." An invitation had cofne for the twins to stay with a relation, and enjoy their first experience of grouse shooting; they were to travel North on the ninth. "We'll go by car, Jean, • it's nice country. If we start back about eleven, we might lunch with the Boltlegs on the way and get home in time for tea. I'm sorry we shall miss Mrs. Blankhasset's show, but it can't be helped. How about you. Thea? You'll be alone the night the boys go. You might go to the Cottage." "Oh, I shall be, all right," said Thea. "Nurse will take care of ale." Her quick mind took in the sit- uation. Here was her chance. Sac glanced across the table at John. He was looking at her, and as their eyes met he looked.away, reduened and fidgeted with the fruit upon his plate. "I shall have to settle John," she thought, "But that won't be diffi- cult," Ater breakfast, instead of de- parting to the stables, the boys hung, about the house and terrace. Thee from her bedroom window welched them with amusement. "Does that idiot, John imagine that I couldn't get slut without his seeing me?" she thought. She spent most of the morning alternately staring out of window, thinking and writing. She went downstairs to the hall to fetch the telephone book. Erratic as she was, she could, when she chose, sling her wits to bear on everyday affa'rs. "-5. Furnished Studio—Pembroke Place—Earl's Court. I suppose one of them would do as well as anywhere else if there's one to be let. Then perhaps I should see the 'Other Me.' I wonder how I can find out about house agents. I appose I ought to write to one at F.arl's Court." She began hunting through the pages of the telephone book. "Oh, bother!" she murmured at inter- vals, but still persisted in her weary task to be at length re- warded by finding the name of Messrs. Dawson and Basley, Earl's Court Road. Now about money. She rummag- ed in the drawers of her bureau for her cheque book, and ultimate- ly, having tossed the contents of eve:•y drawer into confusion, be- gan to search in other places, to find it neatly put away with her pocket handkerchiefs. To hide articles in places in which their owner would be unlikely to look was one of Nurse's methods of re- buking Thea's appalling untidiness. "H'm," thought the girl, as she surveyed her bedroom. "Dear Nursie will wish she hadn't when she's got to put all these things away again!" ' Her father's lessons in account keeping and the use of cheque, pass and paying -in books ad borne some fruit. The fifty pounds left to her by Lady Hanover had been paid in a week or two earlier, and Thea was able to assure herself that she had about one hundred and thirty pounds to her credit in the bank. She had been liberally supplied with clothes by her mother; and, owing to Lady Hanover's death and her refusal to wear black, Thea had scarcely needed to spend any of her dress allowance. "One hundred and thirty pounds! That wilt last me for a year, I should. think. I wonder if.

And every summer thousands of picnickers, hikers and campers fall prey to the unobtru- sive flower with the irritating secretion. Allergic cases can often be protected by vaccination, but others would do well to learn to recognize and avoid this common plant, Hiking or camping are ideal vacation -time pastimes. Learn to enjoy them safely. Here's To Health Hot weather means increased evaporation of liquids from the body. This calls for increased con- sumption of liquids to maintain health and comfort. It's hard to beat clear, cold water for a cooling drink, and salt tablets will help replace the salt lost through the pores. Soft drinks often contain a high percentage of sugar which tends to warm rather than cool the body. Make sure the water you - drink is pure and free from disease germs. Never drink from springs or brooks. A Solid Foundation A strong, well-built house that will resist the wear and tear of wind and weather needs to have a solid, carefully laid foundation. The same is true of the human mind. When a child grows up in a healthy mental environment, where he is loved and wanted, where he receives the basic needs of life and where discipline is rea- sonable and regular his chances 'of good mental adjustment in later life are considerably Improved. Local health departments can sup- ply pamphlets on various aspect: of child development and care. • he doesn't, Simeon's got plenty, he can give me some if I really want it, and I shall soon be able to earn money," thought Thea, with all the placid belief in her powers of earning of one who has never known any but the luxurious sheltered life of the girl of the upper classes. As she made her ...preparations she felt few regrets. "Daddy doesn't really want me now," she thought; "he used to want.me, but he doesn't so much now. He can always come and see me if he likes. They'll all get on much bet- ter without me. Oh, Simeon, Sim- eon, we'll have such lovely times together." A housemaid came in with hot water and looked round the litter- ed room. - "My word! Mrs. Mercer'11 say something when she sees it," she thought delightedly.

He descended to 4,500 feet, bettering his own rec- ord of 3,028 feet achieved in 1934 off Bermuda with William Beebe. ,''Mr. Barton telephoned his ob servations to an assistant on the barge from which -the benthoscope was being lowered by 'ca,ble: At 460 feet he said: "There are a lot of lantern fish passing by now. They're big fellows and they're jumping all over. Now• the fireworks are really- starting . . . There's a creature that looks like a long pipe with a row of lights along it. I don't know what it is. "The tentacles of an octopus just dragged by the window, showering sparks. I can't see him but he must have been a big fel- low. . I just saw an animal with a long tail. I don't know what it is." Only 17 minutes after he start- ed down, he said: "There was flashing light going by." At 2500 feet: "I see a barrage of lumines- cent, spiraling shrimp beating against the window. They seem to splash when they hit . . . 'A long, thin brilliantly lighted -fish went by. It looks like an eel." After passing 3,028 feet, the for- mer record: "This is an unbe- lievable world down here. I wish Dr. Beebe were down here with me. He might know what some of these things are. I don't recog- nize them." At 4,000 feet he said: "There are so many things going by that it kind of makes me dizzy." At 4,100 feet the light illuminating the area outside his window went out, but Mr. Barton dropped on down to .4,500 feet. Then he telephoned: "There goes a big white jellyfish. I never saw anything like that before. There's a little spot of light with a circle around it . . . I am am- azed to see so many luminous things at this depth. The water is . beautifully, unexpectedly clear, as clear as it was at Bermuda." Mr. Barton returned to the sur- face without incident, and an- nounced he would not attempt any further deep dives for some time. Originally he had planned to de- scend to 6,000 feet. He twice sent the benthoscope more than a mile deep unmanned in preliniinary dives. He made the 4,500 -foot drop in 55 minutes and hung there seven minutes. He said he could see no sense in going deeper because the failure of the lights would prevent his taking pictures. The ocean bottom was still 2,000 feet beneath him. After climbing out of the five- foot, hollow steel ball, Mr. Barton said: "A scientific study of the marine life in the Pacific, at least in this vicinity, is probably more interest- ing at 2,000 feet than at 4,500. There is more life at 2,000 feet." He obtained oxygen from a tank in the benthoscope releasing the gas automatically.
