The rocking-chairs behind the
screening vines became ~motionless,
and the ladies exchanged surreptitious
smiles. II the two gentlemen were
aware of each Others sterling quail

inverse ratio to its expression, and,
as the Elucinian mysteries, cloaked
before the world. In public the doctor
was wont to remark that the major

The major settled his black tie. "A
little wholesome exercise wouldn't be
a bad thing for you, Doctor" he said
succinctly. You're looking q shade

"Exercise!" snapped the other
%viciously, as he pounded down the
steps. "Ha, ha. l suppose you exer-

ford. There's a question I'm just
dying to ask you. We've had such an
interesting conversation. You've
heard the news, Of course, that young
Mr.. Valiant is coming to Damory
Court?"
The major sat down heavily. In the
bright light his face seemed suddenly
pale and old.
MOP the lady's tone was arch.
Have all the rest of us really got
ahead of you for once? Yes, it's true.
There's some one there getting it to
rights. Now here's the question
There was a woman, of course, at the
bottom of the Valiant duel. Id never
dream of asking you who she was.
But which was 1t she loved, Valiant
or Sassoon?"

Girls Do the Counting.

Burton Holmes says that the M

ems rights In the Philippines, espo-
cially when it comes to choosing a hus-
band. For instance, the Bontoc Igo-
rotes leave all the counting to the girls.
While the worldly goods Of the pro

swift bird-like glances behind them

still stood with the yellow sunshine on
his face. They did not leap the wall

Old residents OF the northwestern
when the site for this school was pur-

protested against the location. OPP
posite the school site in 1883 was a

OF the younger pupils in coming to

that every month would witness q
new disaster.
In spite Of the protestations of thu
parents, the school was built at that
spot.

This school was originally the Lower

the terms Of the will OF Thomas
Holme, surveyor general under Will
liam Penn, who designed the original

The academy was incorporated In
1894, but the structure itself was
erected four years previously. The
original name OF the school remained
until 1901. when the building was pur.i

renamed In honor Of its founder.
