law of the attraction of opposites was
discovered by the students OF human
les long before the physicists triumph
antly proclaimed 1t their own child.
And here was material for a textbook.
The woman resembjed a butterfly
only In that she was beautiful and
useless. Beyond that she had nothing
In common with the type of woman
that Is generally so described. Her po-
tentiality for harm was such as Is new
err attributed TO that gaudy and frivo-
lous insect even when found In the
world of men. 1t was born of her pow
erful and perverted intellect. This was
a positive force, and a man of Toxic
ramos great mentality might feel and
be attracted simply by its power-a
power kindred to his own-and yet
never sense the evil in 1t. 1t was this
power Of mind that he recognized, per-
haps subconsciously, which interested
him even more than the compelling
beauty Of her features.
But while they were alike In intel
lectual power, this may not be taken
as being In contraversion of the orig
inal statement that theirs was an at
traction of ~opposites. This is borne out
in the widely differing uses to which
this power was put. The woman lived
for her emotions. Her intellect was
used simply to seek out and extract
from all ON whom she preyed the last
sensation that would arouse and intox-
icate. The man lived for his mind. He
used its power to crush out and de-
stroy his emotions, solely that the
power might grow through exercise.
The woman was an emotional drunk
ard. The man a total abstainer.
She rose and, coming softly around
to him. gently drew the brush out of
his fingers. He looked up with a frown
Of vexation, but she slid her other arm
around his neck and kissed him be-
tween the eyes.

"But-you are so tired. Come and sit

SO many cares-your people worry you

repulse her, but his face cleared: lie
smiled and, with a little shrug of his
shoulders, arose and allowed himself
to be led to a seat on the settee. He
moved like an automaton and sat like
a toy soldier or the statue of a Rame-
ses by the Nile. Illona eyed him with
disapproyal.
l"You don't look comfortable or nat
ural in a chair or Oh a divan," she de-
cided. She seized a couple of cushions
and pumped them down at her feet.

The closing of the Similkameen
bridge works great hardship upon
travellers, and especially those who
use autos. The only way to cross that
stream is by fording, and autos are
not constructed for fording rivers, al
though it is reported that a drummer
crossed the Similkameen in a Ford
car last week. 1t is said that the ma
chine went dead in midstream, the
driver waded around in the drink,
cranked up just as though on dry
land, and continued on his way. This
sounds salty, but is vouched for by
eye-witnesses. The usual method of
crossing is to attach rope to a car
and tow it over with horses. 1t looks
as though the bridge would continue
to be closed to travel for some days
to come.
