Indeed. she said indinerently.
But several times during the service
she caught her gaze straying from the
pulpit to the man in the gallery and
the sweet faced woman, beside him.
As he was leaving her Eleanor said:
'Will you take me to call on Miss
Finn ,.-.. ~,
Gladly! I'm sure you and she viii
become good friends -
For the next few days Paul saw
Eleanor daily. She was very kind to
him, and he was therefore lifted into
the seventh heaven. He took Eleanor
to call on Kathleen early in the week.
His prophecy that they would become
good friends was not fulfilled. at least
Immediately. Kathleen, with a self
consciousness foreign to her, saw in
Eleanor's honest efforts to please her
only patronage. and Eleanor. chilled,
was convinced that the older woman
disliked her. Kathleen returned the
call few days later, but at that time
Eleanor had left the city to spend tho
week end with her cousin, Mrs. Dun
meade: $3.50.
Twenty hours in the gov errors
mansion made Eleanor regret her visit.

Mrs. Dunmeade's sitting room and had
surprised the governor there romping
with the children while his wife looked
smilingly on.
Eleanor, unnoticed and feeling her
presence in the pretty little group q

where she brooded disconsolately on
her loneliness. Not until the COVER.

been trying to read. It was
Sunday, and to Paul the first
day of the week was always distinctly
oppressive.
cts no use. This day has got on
my nerves. The time when myself
and my dreams were all the company
needed is gone. I haven't seen her
for two days, and can't wait another
day, another hour, another minute"
A half hour later Paul was ushered
into the Sanger drawing room. Flea
nor not appearing at once, he wan
dered through an open door into the
music room, at one end of which had
been installed small pipe organ.
And Paul Of the many talents, with
out being great musician, knew how
to make the organ respond to his souls
mood. He seated himself and began
to play. His idle lingering gradually
took form in passionate, ford gust
of melody that filed the big house.
Then the stormy mood died away. and
the organ sang weird minor refrain.
Eleanor, entering unobserved by the
player. stood leaning against a chair
near him, regarding him with an odd
look in which admiration and pity, per-
haps shade Of contempt, mingled.
At last, without turning or ceasing
his playing, he spoke. II can't see

He bowed gracefully to Kathleen.
''There can be no doubt as to the
genuineness of your motives, Miss

outcome Of the scrimmage must be
disappointing to you"
Bob followed Sanger into the hallway
and silently watched the millionaire
don his overcoat AS he was pulling
on his gloves Sanger remarked:

that you haven't fooled the world as
you have Miss Finn. It's a better

Kathleen was sewing quietly once

Mexico City is possibly the best po'

officers, while vigilant, take every in:
struction given them in a literal sense.
They will arrest anybody or anything
that violates a city ordinance.
A short time ago, says a New York
er, who recently spent some time In
that city, there was a collision be-
tween two automobiles, one of the
machines being so badly damaged
that 1t had to be left at the place
where the accident occurred. The
persons occupying the machine were
promptly bundled into the auto which
was able to proceed and the entire
party went to the police station.
But that did not excuse the broken
car. 1t was formally arrested on the
spot and an omcer detailed to see that
1t did not get up and limp back to its
garage. BY some chance the broken
automobile was forgotten for two days.

TELLS OF EVENTS $40 3. c.
ancient Hebrew Chronicles Have
seen Found In Palestine by Prof.
George A. Reisner.

New York-After spending the last
az years excavating among the an.
Gent ruins in Egypt and Palestine,
frof. George A. Reisner, assistant
seofessor Of Egyptology at Harvard
university. has returned to America
with his wife and little daughter.
Professor Reisner was assisted in
his work by c. 8. Bishop, an architect,
snd Prof. o. Bates, an archaeologist.
his return to New York marks the
close Of IA years work in Egypt.
Last year Professor Reisner car.
RED on extensive excavations among
the pyramids and was rewarded by
the discovery Of nine almost perfect
examples Of statuary Of the fourth
dynasty. They were portrait statues
OF King Mycsrnios. in whose reign
tho third pyramid Of Ghiza was built.
These statues are Of alabaster and
black slate" said Professor Reisner.
They are splendid examples Of por-
trait statuary and more perfect; I
should say, than a great number Of
modern attempts along these lines.
Four Of them are at present in the
Boston museum and the remaining
dve are In the museum at Cairo"
Probably the most important dis.
ooveries made by Professor Reisner
and his party, according to his valua-
ton, are those Of ancient Hebrew
Writings. contemporaneous with the
sra Of Ahab, about $40 B. c., which
contain references found in the Bible.
These were discovered in excavations
made late in 1910 at Samaria In Pal
estine. which was the capital Of tho
northern kingdom Of Israel.
