sELoaa TO LATER STONE AGE
interesting Find Of Prehistoric Dwell.
inss Just Made by Or. Otto
Froedin

The Swedish anthropologist, Dr.
Otto Froedin. has discovered at 0m-
berg, near Alvastra, the remains Of a
number of lake dwellings, dating
from the later Stone Age, and esti-
mated to be about 1000 years old,
being, in fact, the oldest discovered
so far in northern Europe. The
dwellings we're built in the usual
manner on piles, but differ from the
well-known Swiss lake-dwellings in
resting partly on the bank and pro-
Jecting over the water. The floors
OF the houses, which we're of fir and
birch wood, were we'll preserved, the
bark still adhering to the birch logs
In addition to weapons and vessels
Of stone, horn and wood, DR.. Froedin
found carbonized apples and grains
of corn. The latest finds are stated
to be particularly interesting, as
hitherto only the imprints of grains
had been found in earthenware yes
sells, and no actual grains have been
discovered. Another find was a large
amber bead, described as "the symbol
of divinity" DR.. Froedin also found
the remains of skins with which the
flooring was covered, and large
of nut shells. Various in
dieations go to prove that the Stone
Age men who inhabited these DWELL
ings we're in commercial relations
WItiS other races.

The Kentuckian's subscription list

The Kentuckian's subscription list
is, showing a steady and gratifying
increase this year, although the new
postal regulation has put the paper
on a cash basis. Although January
was a very inclement and unfavor'
able month, nearly 100 new subscrib-
ers were put on during the month,
not counting renewals. The month
of February bids fair to double that
record, and the advertisers are max
ing such demands for space that a
paper is seldom issued that does not
contain 25 to 30 columns of adver-
tisements.

dy of the fog blowing on her. She had
had narrow escape; but after the
first fu1lness of her relief there re-
turned upon her again the weight of
her responsibility. There was no slip
ping out of it now, and it was going
to be worse than she had imagined.
So much had come out in the last
half-hour that she felt bewildered by
it. What Harry had let slip about
Clara alarmed her. What in the world
was Clara about? With one we'll
aimed observation she had stirred up
Harry against Kerr and against Flora
herself. And meanwhile she was rum
ming after the Buffers. Twice in two
days, if Harry was not mistaken, and
she was even nearing another engage
ment.
After all her fruitless housings,
Clara had too evidently got on the
scent of something at last. How much
she knew or guessed as yet, Flora
could not be sure, but certainly, now,
she couldn't let Clara go. For that
would be turning adrift a dangerous
person with stronger motive than
ever for pursuing her quest, and the
opportunity for pursuing it unob-
served, out of Flora's sight Clara
was at it even now, and the only con-
ISOLATION Flora had was that Harry, at
least, would not play into her hands.
For Harry had a special secret in
terest Of his own. The last ten min
utes of their interview had made that
plain. His manner, when he had de-
clared his intention of taking the
ring, had been anything but the man
ner of care-free lover merely con-
cerned with pleasing his lady. Then
they were all of them racing each 9TH
er for the same thing-the thing she
held in her possession; and whether
she feared most to be felled by a
blow from Harry, or hunted far afield
by Kerr, or trapped by Clara, she
could not tell. She stood hesitating,
looking out into the obscurity of the
fog, as if she hoped to read the an
swer there. Presently she returned to
the fact that Shima was waiting to
close the door. Hallway across the
hall she paused again, looking
thoughtfully down the rose-colored Wis
ia of the drawing-room, and up at the
broad black march of the stair. Vague
mysteries peered at her from every
side. Which should she nee from?
Which walk boldly UP to and dispel?
