How Little Mary Lou Was

By AGNES q. BROGAN


Bess rocked to and fro violently, her
pretty brows drawn together In an i'm

"Uncle Jabez was an old idiot" she
remarked to her equally ~perturbed hus-

"And my brother Bob" her husband
declared, rs not the kind Of a man

Bess arose angrily. "If you mean

Half an hour later a big, competent

him much more than her beauty was
the fact that she had entirely forgot

whether she often received proposals OF

that his patient had most diseriminat-

Mary Hart deliberately wiped or her

at the doctor with a flicker OF laughter

Insomnia
Quickly Cured When Love
Became the Physician

Faulkner was walking doggedly up
town. The doctor had said four miles
a day-possibly on the theory that a
man thoroughly tired in body is less
apt 70 work his brain In the small hours
of the night. when all wise men pre-
pare themselves for the coming day
by the blessed business OF sleep.
For several months Faulkner had
been behaving In this absurd fashion.
working all day and staying awake all
night.
As he swung now into Broadway the
question which for months had stung
and tortured him stung and tortured
him anew.
When a man has once made a fall
ure Of his life, Faulkner asked himself,
how Is he 70 know that be will not
repeat the performance Faulkner
knew himself to be in love with Mary
Hart-he wanted to marry Mary Hart
But how in high heaven was he to
know whether Mary loved him7
Obviously he might ask her to marry
him. and she might accept. But how
was he to be sure that she cared. as he
cared. as he had believed that Helen
cared long agoI After all, was he not
the most gullible man on earth where
women were concernedl
Moreover. he was successful, emf
nently eligible and too deeply commit
ted to middle age to be marrying a
charming young woman-except for
this very eligibility.
There was no use conjuring up Mary
Harris honest smile, her clear, kind
eyes. her reputation for sincerity. Long
ago he had been made a fool of by one
woman, a woman who had married
him and lived with him, and finally
died under his roof without ever hav-
ing loved him. He had been cheated
once. and be had no faith in his own
acumen. his own rusted instincts.
At this stage of his "Reminiscences he
found suddenly that he had been
caught in the tide Of young girls just
emerging from the theaters, where
they had been revealing in various mat
1nee performances. He was brought
back to the immediate present by a
pressure upon his arm and a laughing,
breathless voice which proclaimed dis
dnctly:
after racing nearly three blocks
I've caught you at last-and there's a
policeman Just behind us who is
morally certain That he ought to run
me In"
He turned to face the radiant, trl-
umphant young person, who now chung

glances.

furiously.

the door opened to admit Mary Lou.
'sThe veranda is a fine place to hear"
she remarked calmly. "Your n

window. It reminded me OF another
one which occurred shortly after I
came" She turned to Bob.

Northern Ice Fields That Once Met the
Sea Are Now Inland.


Some attention is being directed to
the fact that the Muir glacier is disin-
tegrating along it's face, and there is
some speculation as to how long it will
continue to present great attraction
to tourists. No one can answer this.
of course. for the causes of the unusu-
al movement are not known. Neither
is it known with any certainty for how
long a time this great ice mass has pre-
scented his appearance. which made IT
famous.
Assuming that the earliest charts OF
the coast are correct--and there IL
every reason to suppose they are
there have been very remarkable re-
'cessions of glaciers along the Atlantic
coast during the last century. SO that
ice fields that formerly came down to
the sea are now considerable dis
lance from it. As. we understand. the
earlier charts do not indicate the posi-
ton of Muir glacier. so there are no
means of telling if it has receded.
The cause of the recession Of glaciers
is not fully understood. but it seems to
imply an average amelioration of the
climate. Glaciers are fed from snow
fields. and If they become smaller only
one of two explanations seems posi-
BILE. Either the snowfall in the higher
levels must have diminished or the
temperature in the lower levels has
grown higher. There are several rea
sons for supposing that the climate of
the north Pacific zone is becoming
gradually warmer. although the change
is very gradual. Sir Charles Lyell. the
famous geologist. in one of-his books
speaks of the breaking away of a great
ice barrier near Greenland. which &C.
