CHAPTER XXI.
The Quarrel.

In less than forty-eight hours after her
arrival in Brighton Mrs Baxter had COM
pletely recovered from the shock Of her
midnight encounter with the gray lady.
The afternoon Of the second day she sat
In the window Of her fifth floor suite at
the Metropole. watching the fiuttering,
swaying, glittering procession on the
promenade below; a frolic of glad colors
that might have sworn at each other in
ballroom the night before. now min
Cling happily together In the golden ur-
banity Of the sunshine. Some such
thought must have formed itself in Flea
nor's mind as she suddenly exclaimed,
'You can really wear any color on a day
like this!''
Mrs. Baxter called to the maid, who
was moving about In an adjoining bed
room, "Oh, Gibson, did I bring my sap
phire voile with the duchess lace? Thank
you'll was afraid 1t had been left"
And thescerise foulard? Oh. good!''
On the lower promenade the people
looked like colored beads. and still far
ther away, on the dazzling white OF the
sands. they were minute dark specks.
Low against the blue wall Of sky hung
the ocean, like an indigo blackboard on
which figures In white chalk wrote and
rewrote and rubbed themselves out with
magical monOtony.
The wind blowing whittier and whatso-
ever 1t listed raised an edge of the mus
lin curtain and drew it softly across
Eieanor's cheek. and in the ocean Of
femininity below her window a bright
colored wave swelled and tossed and
broke in lawny froth.
What windy place.! Eleanor drew
deep breath and inwardly exulted as
she recalled the lavender-scented con-
tents OF the largest and lightest Of her
trunks.
Meanwhile Betty was taking a lonely
walk on the gayly crowded upper prom
enade. Her sense OF desolation was in
her, the laughter. the shrieks Of distant
bathers, the throb of far-off brass band.
the cry OF a man selling shrimps some
where below.
1t would have been hard to devise a
program less pleasing to Mr.. Baxter's
secretary than this trip to Brighton. Ip-
ping House was, at this moment, the one
and only place on earth where she wished
to be. At IppiEg House she could. at
least, have kept an eye on Kate Clenden-
tess designs on Bob. Betty's hatred Of
the countess was temperamental - the
hatred OF the tendril-haired blonde for
the straight-haire blonde.
Elizabeth Thompson clinched her f1n-
gers as she thought OF her old playmate
helpless in the tolls OF that interruptions
woman. There was no question In Betty's
mind about Kate's power Of attraction
yet at this moment the only thing she
envied the countess was her unique gift
for what Is sometimes called language .
She was sorely tempted to borrow a few
tonic words from Kate Clendennin's vo-
cabulary.
There was a surprise in store for Betty
on her return to the hotel.
Read that said Eleanor. full of Ella
ton. handing her an open telegram
Read 1t aloud she added, laughing,
"I can't hear it too often.''
It was from Bob in London to say that

Creation of a Department of Labor
Relieved Probable

Predictions were freely made around
the Capitol today that the bill creating
a Department OF Labor. headed by a new
member OF the cabinet, will become a law
early In the coming session of Congress.
Among the measures friends this opti-
mism was increased by the announce
ment from Princeton that Mr.. Wilson
had expressed the hope that there would
soon be a new member of the cabinet
for the Department of Labor.
Ihe bill was presented to the House
by Representative Sulzer Of New York
now the governor-elect of the Empire
state, and was passed by the House July
III last. 1t was approved by the Senate
committee on education and labor, and
Senator Borah, in charge Of the measure
IN the upper branch of Congress, tried
to push it through during the stormy DAYS
at the end OF the session. He gave notice
that he would push it to final action soon
after Congress reconvened this winter

Lammermoor' during illness, was aft
erward found to have forgotten entire
ly what he had thus created. Accord
ing TO James Ballantyne, the book
was written and published before Mr..
Scott was able to rise from his bed.
and he assured me when it was first
put into his hands in a complete shape
that he did not recollect Il single Incl

tanned, The original incidents Of the
story, which he had known from boy
hood. he still mbered, but he knew
no more about the story he had written
than he did before he began to write
or even think about writing it, These
facts were corroborated by Mr.. Lock
hart. Sir Walter SCOTS son-in-law and
biographer. so that they are placed be

Grasshoppers were not very plenti-

fellow flew plump into the tolls, the
spines on his legs that had so often dis
coursed sweet music becoming entan-
gled. Instantly the crafty spider was
all alive. Darling upon her victim.
she took her station above him. and,
hanging by two legs, seized him in her

dozen places with fangs oozing with
poison.

First Printing Press.

The first printing press in the eastern
settlement of America was set up in
1888. In the summer of that year a
ship bearing a printing press, printer
and three pressmen arrived on the
shores of New England, the printer
being Stephen Daye. In the same year
the press was set up at Cambridge.
One of the earliest and perhaps the
most celebrated of the issues was THE
Bay Psalm Book" 1t is interesting to
know that the actual press is still pre-
served. After various wanderings in
Boston, Connecticut, New Hampshire
and Vermont it was found in Windsor
county and presented to the Vermont
Historical society.

We Dwell With Fears.

We dwell with fears on either hand
Within a daily strife,
And spectral problems waiting stand
Before the gates of life.
The doubts we vainly seek to solve;
The truths we know are one.
The known apd nameless stars revolve
Around the, central sun.
And if we reap as we have sown
And take the dole we deal
The law Of pain is love alone;
The wounding is to heal.
Unframed from change to change we
glide:
We fall as in our dreams.
The farof terror at our side
A smiling angel seems.
Secure on Gods all tender heart
Alike rest great and small
Why fear to lose our little part
When he is pledged for all?
