When Duncan accepted Mrs. Har-
vey's invitation to join her house party
In the mountains that worthy lady
was overjoyed.
Here, indeed. was the very man she
had been seeking-a man whose name
was on everybody's lips. a veritable
ION, who would make her the envy of
all her set.
He was the man who had spent a
month in Lassa and who had talked
with the grand lama himself, draw
ing card of the highest magnitude.
Mrs. Harvey spent good half day in
congratulating herself and wondering
just how she had been able to manage
it.
She pictured him as she had last
seen him, happy, exuberant, boyish
young man who would entertain her
other guests by the hour with most alb

Japanese Calendar

Reference is frequently made to the
floral calendar of Japan. What this
calendar is is explained in the House
keeper The Japanese are extremely
fond of all flowers. and they have
therefore made calendar from them,
giving to each month a fayorite bios
som or leaf.
Thus the pine, the emblem Of lasting
prosperity and life, belongs to January,
and its branches are used to decorate
all houses on New Years day.
To February belong the blossoms OF
the plum tree. which stand for purity,
and the beautiful blossoms of the peach
tree, to which young girls are CON-
pared, are associated with the month
Of March.
Next the cherry blossom, the most
beloved Of all flowers, is held to be-
long to April, and to May are assigned
the gorgeous clusters of the wistaria
vine.
The iris-fower, to which are compared
the strength and beauty Of young boys.
belongs to June, and July has the glory
and perfume of the water lily. The
Towering hibiscus tree attaches its
beauty to the month Of August, while
September lays claim to the exquisite
charm Of the azalea.
The royal flower of Japan, the chrys-
anthemum, which forms a part of the
crest of the imperial family. belongs
to the month of October, while to No
vember is given the maple leaf, ad-
mired for it's decorative quality.
Finally, with December is associated
the beautiful camellia, which blooms
In the gardens even in the midst of
snow.

1t had not been an eyentful summer
for Marion Leigh. She knew it would
not be when she saw it looming up in
all is inevitability-ani invalid aunt, an
Isolated mountain retreat and herself
in the dual role Of nurse and compan.
iun.
But she was wise enough to recog-
Lie the time old truth that N'beggars
cannot be choosers" and to accept it
graciously. AS dependent orphan
she had little voice In the ordering of
her own career.
But now us she watched the leaves
falling silently, s0mberly. and thought
over the long. tedious days she had
fved through and the longer and more
tedious ones to come her bright cOur'
age seemed all at once to leave her.
The proverbial melancholy of the sea
son controlled her mood, and she be

ness that stood out as relief against
the dreary background of that monot'

glad or sorry for it Marion herself
hardly knew.
She had welcomed Bruce Wolcott's
coming with spontaneous delight. moi
because it had any special significance
for her. but because he stood for all
that she had known of youth and free
dom and jollity, Of which there was
so little now In her surroundings, sc
much still In her natural makeup.
But Wolcott had proved more than
merely young and care free and jolly
as she remembered him; he was alertly
sympathetic and unfaningly generous.

The comparatively cold courtesy that
was left chilled Marion's heart. Her
pride nevertheless forced her to accept
1t as if she noticed no difference.
Her lips trembled now as she felt
again the bitterness Of the disappoint-
ment and the resignation. but she
knew that she must not give way ut
terly. For that, for surrender to IN
happiness and despair. there was no
time or place allotted in her life's
schedule. She must be always ready.
always cheerful, always self effaced.
With characteristic determination she
attempted to turn her thoughts into
other channels. but after reading a
few pages in the book she had brought
with her out under the trees she closed
it with emphatic disapproval.
II could write better story myself"
was her mental comment. And she
was soon deeply engrossed in the ex-
pertinent.
Some three or four hours later in the
day, on his customary way to inquire
after Marion's invalid aunt, Wolcott
came upon the book and the loose
sheets Of paper carelessly slipped into
1t. or, rather. slipping out Of it. for the
wind was futtering the leaves ener-
getically.
A chance phrase or two caught his
attention. He read on without stop
ping to think of the breach of etiquette
that he was committing, and then.
having read through to the last, he
turned back to the beginning.
1t was an idyllic little fancy.

skipped over the green of the fields It

couraged by the little girl. he carried
her books with a staggering air of
possession that delighted her heart
"But for some inexplicable reason as
the boys shyness gradually evolved
into an attitude of debonair cocksure-
ness the girl lost all her daring and
assertiveness. She no longer took the
lead In fact. In no time at all she
found herself following his lead, some.
times with meekness of which she
was wholly unconscious and again
with a strange minslins Of fear and
tumultuous happiness that proclaimed
him master Of her heart.
But the boy because his power had
come to him so easily was careless of
1t. Besides, there were so many other
things that were more worth while.
He told the girl about some Of them
boastingly, expecting her to share his
enthusiasm. And because she seemed
to him indifferent and no longer COM
rade interested In the same things Of
life he sought her less and less fire.

The chief feature Of to-day's session

He came TO the Senate expressly TO get

He was counted as against the bill. but
to-day when he arose to speak he said that
since the days Of establishing racetracks

the Republican party in Kentucky to cnange
that custom.
As a result Of his appeal practically every
Republican In the Senate voted for the bill.
The bill will pass the House.
The bill provides imprisonment for any
