Mortimer Strange sat on the veran-
da Of the Gloss Country club and
slipped his whisky and soda. He was
thinking hard-so hard that pretty
Mrs. Lydia Emmons, at his side,
tapped him playfully upon the arm.
What is the matter that you are so
silent, Morty?" she asked.
Il was thinking" returned Mortimer
Strange, gulping down his drink.
He had been thinking extremely
hard. He had been thinking over his
past. At the age of thirty-fve. four
years ago, he had suddenly found him
self transformed, through a mixture
of luck and ability, from a hard.work-
ing clerk in the war Office to manager
of the Ginever powder factory, at a
salary of fifteen thousand. The pow
der factory was in intimate touch with
the government at Washington and
was the only maker of the famous new
thermolite powder.
AS a clerk, Mortimer Strange had
lived contentedly with his wife, who
was couple of years older than him
self. in their pretty cottage outside
Washington. Doris had worked hard
for him; at thirty-seven her beauty
was little faded. But they had cared
, sincerely for each other.
Then had come the removal to
Gloss, and Strange found himself in
an entirely new atmosphere. For the
first time in his life he realized that
evening clothes were an indispensable
item in mans wardrobe Then there
was the social life, and the country
club-and, in short, he had come into
the world of which he had often spec
ulated but which he had never thought
to enter.
Doris had tried to keep up with the
new life. But the motherly little
woman had hated the glare and gilt
ter; she pinned secretly for the kitchen
and the fireside. At last she had
given up the attempt to live Morti-
mer's life. Gradually they had drifted

South seas, in the vicinity of the
New Hebrides was lately filled so
densely with volcanic pumice. as to
be menace to navi cation. A small
steamer which arrived here after a
voyage of 400 miles from the Tonga
Group reported that the volcanic dis
turbance on Ambrim island had
scattered pumice over the neighbor-
ing seas so densely that the steamer
was barely able to make her way
through it. At first the pumice
choked the pipes of the engine. and
later became so thick that the blades
of the propellers could be heard
smashing against it at every revolu-
ton. The obstruction extended north
and south as far as the eye could
see, although east and west 1t was
confined to path ,of about five
miles wide. On the edges II was
more in the nature of floating dust,
but in the center there were Jumps
as large as four feet in diameter
In parts the pumice was so closely
packed that the surface of the water
was quite dry, and native was able
to stand on small plank which was
thrown out on the top Of 1t.

Activity in South
east is General

The Industrial Index says in its
current issue:
"The Southeast enters into tn elast
business week of the year with gne-
eral activity in industrial and con-
struction lines. There has been a
steady increase in the volume of this
activity. In a number of important
construction contracts that have been
awarded it has been stipulated that
the work shall be begun January 1.
There is a confidence that the
new year will be one of prosperity,
practically from the beginning, and
there are good reasons for this con-
dence. Last year there was no mar
ket for cotton; this year there has
been a good market at good prices.
Manufacturing plants that were idle
at this time last year are being oper-
ated on full time and in many in
stances night and day. Bank clear
ings, postoffice receipts, building per-
mits and other barometers of buis-
ness conditions show steady in
creases and a return to prosperity
There are enormous amuonts of idle
money. There is seemingly every in
dication that the year soon to begin
will be one of great prosperity-per-
haps the greatest this section has
ever known.

tivity. A total of Sc new corpora

ital stocks agregating $4,000.
