Henderson put the ring into his pock-

the muscular spasms Of the girl in his
arms, her face was cold and hard, but
her breath burned with the scorch of
fever. She finished the dance and all
others, taking Phil's numbers with
Henderson. who had arrived too late to
arrange a program. She left with the
others, merely inclining her head as
she passed Ammon's father taking his
place, and entered the big touring car
for which Henderson had telephoned.
She sank Imply into a seat and
moaned softly.
"Shall l drive awhile in the night

She nodded. Henderson instructed
the chauffeur.
She raised her head in a few seconds.

Henderson gathered her into his
arms and her head fell on his Shout

Dawn was streaking the east when
he spoke to her.

"Take me home" she said.
Henderson helped her up the steps
and rang the bell.

"Never! Your conduct is infamous!"
"Come to think Of it." said Ammon

ONCE THE HOME OF AUDUBON
Beautiful Mansion Where Great Natur alist Died Is Now New
 York Tenement.

In dismal hollow. at the foot of One Hundred and Fifty-eighth street, New York, overlooking the Hudson, is q great square house that looks as If 1t ought to be haunted-and per. haps it is. It was once magnificent Its lawns were perfect and its foun, tains played in the sunlight. On every side of it were other handsome homes, and all the owners were friends of long standing. Now the granite wall of Riverside drive almost cuts into the roof of this fine old mansion. Italian laborers live in it and unkempt babies sprawl upon its porches. A giant apartment house towers over 1t and only the rays of the western sun ever reach it's windows
 It is the old home of John James Audubon, the American naturalist. which he purchased in 1S42 and lived in for some years with his sons Victor and John and their families. He died there in 1851 and was buried in Trinity cemetery. near the woods that formed part of his estate and which were later called Audubon park. For five or six years AuEudon park has been but memory, only few dilapidated homes remaining in a hollow hemmed in by modern bureaus where people live in tho drawers"

The number of stars that can be seen by sharp eye in our hemisphere is about 5000, or 5000 in both hem ispheres By the telescope, of course, many thousands of stars are brought out that are invisible to the naked eye. Using an instrument little more than two inches Wide there have been more than 31O,000 stars duly charted in the northern half of the heavens alone. It has been estimated by very high authorities that the total number wis ible in the whole celestial vault would mount up to S0.000.00O.

 Forrest clenched his fists in rage. but otherwise took no notice of the remark
 Later on the comedian repeated the words in the right place, and when the king expressed surprise ct the news Catesby folded his arms, walk ed boldly down the stage, and re- marked to the great actor in loud tones:

Servian headquarters report that

division. but were repulsed with great

alert and has given orders that shells
must not be fired uselessly.
