How was she to live without Norman
her knight, her husband, her Norman!
What were those petty differences be-
side the sound of his tender voice and
the clasp of his strong arm?
Suddenly a wave OF wild wrath up
rose in her like a consuming flame.
Luckily she had not cried out. Perhaps
the man had not seen her or deemed
that she had not seen him. The little
revolver which Norman had taught her
to use was in the top drawer Of her
chiffonier. Silently she began a pur-
poseful retreat, her face turned toward
her unseen enemy, her ears wary. 1t
was the retreat of a tigress bereft
that seeks but vantage point for a
furious leap. Vengeance, not safety,
was her end.

had heard nothing save the dash of the

to shoot as soon as his senses should

storm a pistol shot would spread
abroad no alarm.
Page fancied that he could detect the
gradual approach of his ruthless foe.
His faculties were concentrated until
it seemed that his head must crack
from the stress.
The effort was futile.
Oh, for chance to put himself upon
an equal footing! Only give him some
thing with which to kill, kill, kill! His
heavy cane was in the opposite corner.
A fierce longing to clutch it possessed
him.

''The fact that Il horse is sensitive

logical department of the University
of Pennsylvania, may easily be dem
onstrated Take, for instance, the case
of horse that is eating out of a nose
bag.
IF you stand in front of such a
horse, attract his attention, and then,
with loud laughter. mock his way of
feeding, he will stop, with a look OF
embarrassment and shame.
Dogs also object to being laughed
