voices from the smoking
onel Kirkland and the Judge debat-
ing something about treaty ports and
the Manchurian railway. Through the
French windows from the open loggia
came the eager, pitched tones of the
professor and the frump-no, Eliza
beth, I misunderstanding Aldeberan
and Betelguese, dead suns, star clus-
ters and the nebular hypothesis.
Within the room Billings had snap
ped out the lights, to bring out the
blazing fire of his treasured ruby,
and from the tray in the dark corner
where he was closing it In his collec-
ton vault, 1t cleaned like the end OF

Carbuncles-ancient carbuncles," the
professor had called them, that the
Chinese believed their dragons car
ried in their mouths, in their black
caves in days of old, to furnish light
whereby they could see to devour
their victims" And that l believed,
for I could see some practical sense
about it!

wave after wave of golden, GRIM

dragons that licked fiery tongues at
us-strange faces that came and went,
leering hideously into our own.
And then of a sudden it was all
faded-gone! The breeze from the
open window stirred the ashes to the
side. She dropped back with deep
sigh.

CHAPTER XxxII.
In the Glow of the Rubies.
Evening had come again.

Evening had come again.
In fact, it was almost bedtime.
Frances and l sat before the hearth
in the library, looking silently into
the red heart of the dying embers OF
fragrant pine cones. For in the
heights of the Pocantico Hills it often
is chilly on summer nights.
My darling sat on low fauteuil,
her chin resting upon her hand, her
beautiful eyes fixed dreamily, in
scrutably, upon the fading Goals. In
her lap lay the spread of the crimson
pajamas.
She was ng-thinking-I won
dered what! And / was thinking how
jolly rum it all was; that Francis
wasn't Frances, that the professor
wasn't Billings, Colonel Francis Kirk
land wasn't Foxy Grandpa and wasn't
the frump's father after all; and that
the trump, herself-bless her, her
name was Elizabeth-wasn't Frances,
and wasn't a trump at all, but just a
jolly, nice, homely old dear, you know.
And 1 was trying to catch and hold
some of the deuced queer things the
professor had discoursed upon about
ancient Occidental what s-its-name,
and astral bodies, obsession, psy-
chical research and all that sort
of thing. Somehow, dash it, it
had all seemed devilish unrea-
sonable and improbable to me

as everybody else had said "Ah-h-hi'
and had wagged their heads as though
they understood, l just said: Dash
it, Of course. you know" and re-
crossed my legs and took fresher
grip on my monocle
The most devilish hard thing to
get hold of had been that Frances
had never sat on the arm of my Nor
ris chair, had never told me she liked
me better than any man she had ever
met, and had never called me .Dicky''
at any time or anywhere. | wondered

Eskimo wife a Hard Worker.
THE END.

Eskimo widowers often remarry
within a week after the demise of the
wife. The helpmate of the savage
does most Of the work, and he is al
most helpless without her. She makes
and breaks camp, cooks, cuts up her
husbands kill and carries it to camp.
She dresses the skins of deer and
seals. She makes the footgear and
clothes, paddles the canoe and carries
every burden. Without her no domes
tic arrangement can go forward.
