What pitiful thing in world where

The professor passed hand over

Suddenly he knew TINT she was very

What Its Discovery Brought
Into a Scientists Lie
BY cLARIssA r1AcKIB

Professor Fenton looked up from his
desk In the curatOr's private Office and
his absent gaze strnyed down the long
vista OF glass cases that bordered the
main aisle of the Egyptian room IN the
FreemnntIe museum.
Coming up the aisle was a girl dress
ed in white. Her face was lovable
creation OF cream and pink tints. with
golden brown eyes that matched the
satin smooth sheen of her hair and
delicateIy arched brows. Her form
was slender and graceful.
The curator OF TEreemantle museum
would have summed up the charms OF
Eve Langham in the following words:
..Ah, yes. Miss LanGham is most
estimable young woman, very valua-
BILE assistant. remarkably we'll inform
ed. But. as was saying" ETC., and he
resumed his talk upon fossils.
Now. when Professor Fenton saw his
assistant approaching his office his
ewes lighted up with enthusiasm not
over her beauty, which he had never
noticed. but because he recognized in
her a fellow worker who would be
overjoyed at the discovery he had just
made.
Miss Langham paused on the thresh-

sat down and folded her hands.

bridge of his handsome nose
