slavish obedience to Diana's ev-
cry whim since the day that his
~ mother had brought the orphaned
baby home to live at Burton House.
Diana had never been an object of
charity, but the small annuity left her
needed careful management in order
to make it suffice for all needs.
When Diana was young schoolgirl
1t had been an easy matter to contrib
ute an occasional frock or ribbon to
her modest wardrobe. but as she grew
older her dark eyes were quick to dis
cover and quick to resent these kindly
receptions. She had early evinced a
decided talent for the art which had
been her fathers profession. and her
dreams of a future career were as
rose colored as his had been when that
promising career had ended so briefly
at its very beginning.

Clean So she ran back to confer
with Joels crippled mother upon the
subject of painting lessons.
Diana made remarkable progress in
her art studies. and when school days
became thing of the past the girl
started in with Il determined purpose,
Oh what she had termed "her life's
work."
When Diana's first painting received
its finishing stroke it was Joel who
proudly took it into the city and who
arranged to have it most advantage
ously exhibited. After what seemed
an interminable time of waiting a TEL
egram came for Joel. The painting
had been sold-actually sold-and an
order left for second picture The
price paid was very small. But

to stay and rejoice with her. She
came to him one evening as he sat

So as the moon sailed high in the

HE idle man when he has a cold has it harder than the

from a group Of %wcll-known doctors who conferred ON cold,
. few nights ago. One Of them said men who did little or nothing
were the most sensitive to poisonous germs. Somebody else thought

knew. Ninetysix miles an hour the breeze travelled. The
weather man said that for q minute the rate was ono hundred snd

The meteorological books call anything over sixty miles an hour
"a great storm" Over eighty miles means "a hurricane" One hun
dred miles is termed "a great hurricane carrying trees before it,
New York, then, has just gone through "a great hurricane"
The city wcathered its big wind wonderfully vol. Signs, shut

damage there was little or none. The grnt skyvcrapcrs, with their
thousands Of square feet Of exposed wall towering into the air, bore
the test admirably.
With a wind Of nincty-sx miles nm hour every foot Of those
hundreds Of thousands must STAND up to a pressure Of fortveight

some seventy miles nm hour with a pressure of thirty pounds to tho

Yet, with the exception Of broken windows, not one Of tho tall
buildings reported damage. The city may congratulate ftsdf upon
having passed a severe test with flying coors.
