ceal: and then continued his search. But.
no; every drawer and cupboard Of the
school room is ransacked in vain Many
a relic Of their merry old days there comes
| to light. but nothing in the shape OF a
deed or parchment. Mande stood aloof
towards the conclusion Of the search, half
leaning. half sitting on the table. Her
face was serious enough now, and the
welEmarked eyebrows rather knit. She
felt that the promised smooth water OF
the morning was as yet by no means real-
ized. Since Grenville had kissed her. and
personally told his love. she felt endued
with infinite powers Of opposition to the
Pearman alliance.

CHAPTER XVI.

Harold Denison paused He had never
seen his nephew break through his con-
ventional, cool. easy manner in this wise
before. He felt that he had been terribly
in earnest all through their interview.
Had he really some clue that might save
him. Then, perhaps, as far as It was in
his selfish nature to care for anyone, he
loved that child Of his dead sister. who
had Just poured forth this torrent of fran
tic entreaty. The cynic mask dropped
from his face as he extended his hand.

THE ORIGIN OF FEAR.

Plastic Gray Cells of Our Brains
Stamped with Ancient Errors.
The average man would sooner face
a 2OO-pound human antagonist than a
JO-pound dog. which he could choke to
death In three minutes. I have seen a
charging ram scatter half dozen men,
any one Of whom could have mastered
the brute in a moment. and not one
OF whom was. In ordinary matters. a
coward. There are Instances on record
OF men who. with their bare hands.

sity that taught them their powers.

animals. OF being alone. And into the
plastic gray cells OF our brains are
stamped these ancient terrors--a living
record Of the upward climb OF man.
The baby shows this record most
clearly. In him the prints Of heredity

DREAMING ON WEDDING CAKE.


Modern Way seems 60 Make Mar

Ny sisters" said Brother Claude.
ARE now busily dreaming on wedding
cake.
Three days ago We all went to a
wedding. and Of course each Of Us got
nice little box OF wedding cake. and
every night since then sisters have
been putting these boxes under their
pillows nights and dreaming on them
TO see who they are going to marry.
There u an old saying. you know.
that marriage Is lottery. and from
what my sisters tell me about the
modern way OF dreaming on wedding
cake should say that marriage Is now
a greater lottery than ever.
1T seems that the custom once was
to put the cake under your pillow
three nights in succession. and then
the man you dreamed OF two out OF
the three nights was to be your future
husband. That was the old. the sim.
pie way. before things had taken on
their modern present.day elaborate
computations In these days dream |
ing on wedding cake appears to be
carried on like this:
You take seven little slips Of paper
and on each OF six OF these you write
the name Of sutton. leaving the
seventh slip blank so here You have
six slips with names on and one blank
slip. and now without looking at them
you mix these slips all up together. 20
