pares Tor the days work in his studio
flodie Fisher. his assistant, reminds him
OF party he Is to give in the studio that
night, and that his business Is in bad
financial shape. Mr.. Doremus attorney
and Justice Of the peace, calls and informs
Hall that his Uncle Johns will has left
MIN 100000 on condition that he marry
before his twenty-eighth birthday, which
begins at midnight that night Mrs. Rena
Royalton calls at the studio. Hall asks
her to marry him. She agrees to give
him an answer at the party that night.
Miss Carolyn Dallys calls. Hall proposes
TO her. She agrees to give him an an
swer at the party Rosamund Gale, art
model calls. Hall tries to rush her into
an immediate marriage. She, too, defers
her answer until the evening. F'lodie tries
to show Hall a certain way out of the
mixup, but he Is obtuse. Jonas Hassing-
bury, heir to the millions in case Hall
falls to marry on time, plots with F'lodie

fastened to protest, ooh, no, indeed!
Why should you think that?"
Carolyn laughed; she was now thor
oughly enjoying herself well, then,
I'm Carolyn Dallys," she volunteered.
Il think you must be Miss Gale, aren't
you? I've seen Halls pictures of you,
you know" Something suspicious In
Rosamund's face impelled her to add
mischievously, And he's often spoken
to me about you"
Rosamund showed her Irritation at
the patronizing air of familiarity only
by the slightest flush. Indeed" she
said, 'it's queer he hasn't told me
about you"
'Oh, there's very little to tell" That
was what Carolyn's lips said, but her
whole face told different story. In
the woman's language of smiles she
was an adept and Carolyn's smile was
cruel.
It was now evident that, unless Rosa
muEG could distinguish herself from
the vast horde of Hall Bonistelle's fe-
male friends, she would expire of
shame. Carolyn, without knowing ex-
actly what caused the girl to suffer,
was rejoicing in her lack of ease. She
watched Rosamund grope for an eff
fectual reply. At last it came with
proud toss of the blonde head and a
flash of the golden brown eyes.
"Oh, L see," she said. Il didn't
know by the way you spoke first, but
perhaps you know him pretty well.
Of course Hall and 1 are quite good
friends, you know"
"Yes?" Carolyn was more attentive.

finally, chat you are engaged to Hall
/ Bonistelle?"
Rosamund stirred uneasily, and
pouted. well, no; not exactly, that
is. But 1 could be. if l wanted to-
"What?" Carolyn exclaimed. HAS
he proposed to your"
Rosamund nodded sedately. Hes
waiting for my answer right now"
Carolyn jumped up excitedly, and
was about to speak, when Flodie, smil-
ing like book agent, hustled into the
room. She walked up to Carolyn ooh,
here are your proofs, Miss Dallys,"
she said blithely. I'm sorry / kept
you waiting so long" She turned
toward Rosamund. ooh, I see you
have met Miss Gale, so don't need to
introduce you"
NO." Carolyn answered, taking the
proofs without looking at them. Miss
Gale and l have made ourselves &C.
quainted, while we were waiting,
thank you"
Flodie turned to Rosamund miss
Da&ys is a very intimate friend Of
Mr.. Bonistelle, you know"
All the starch went out of Rosa
mund's pose. "She isl" She gazed
at Carolyn as at zebra.
Carolyn shrugged her shoulders and
gave casual glance at the proofs
con, Miss Fisher" she said, would
you mind printing another one of each
of these two? I'd like to send them
to my mother, and see which one she
likes better" She handed them back
to Flodie. 'I'1l wait" she added, her
eyes on Rosamund.
Rosamund added, 81 think I'll wait
here little while, too, Miss Fisher.
Miss Dallys is really so very inter
esting."
Flodie smiled. well, all right, Miss
Gale, l knew you'd like her." And
she disappeared.
Carolyn, who had been walking up
and down impatiently, now ap-
preached Rosamund See here, Miss
Gale" she said, ''I'd like to know
when Hall BonisteIIe proposed to
you"
81 fail to see how it is any of
your business"
mo? Well, then, suppose 1 shall
have to tell you. The fact is, Hall
Bonistelle has just proposed to me-"
"Why, Miss Dallys, you must be
joking!" Rosamund stared, dunn
founded "Why, it was only this morn
ing he spoke to me"
what timer"
why? Does the particular minute
make any difference, I'd like to know,
Miss Dallys?"
yes, as it happens, it makes all the
difference in the world, Miss Gale. Mr.
Bonistelle proposed to me at about
let's see-ten-thirty, think it was"
Rosamund met her eye to eye.
well, he proposed to me at exactly
quarter to eleven. l noticed the
clock.
ooh, did you! 1 didn't; but I'll take
your word for it. Narrow escape,
wasn't IT." Carolyn's laugh was hard
and mirthless.
But l never heard of such a thing
in my life!" Poor Rosamund stared
blankly at her rival
NO" said Carolyn dryly, sit doesn't
happen often, l hope; but there's no
use in getting excited about it,
Excited" Do you mean to say
you'd accept man who had treated
you like that?''
NO. Miss Gale, cahdidly, wouldn't.
And, between you and me, l don't
mind telling you l wouldn't accept him
under any circumstances. 1 never had
any idea of accepting him."

This Fish Is Educated.

Theodore Sharp, a fisherman of San
dusky, Ohio, claims to be the owner
of the only educated carp in exis-
tence. Sharp says the carp, which
weighs nearly 40 pounds and when
out of the water resembles to a
marked degree fat hog, will come to
him when he whistles; that it will eat
out of his hand and that when he is
out in boat will follow him around,

Signals.

In the pioneer days Of North America
many a traveller found the salt for
which he was suffering by following
the course of the deer to one of their
ticks" and later many of these places
became important sources of CONNER
cial supply. Sometimes it's hard to
see how the hints man has caught
from animals can be used, but every
man who keeps on asking why until
he finds the answer adds to the sum
of human knowledge. Sir John Lub-
ock, for instance, made painstaking
