SORORITY GIRLS MUST PAY.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 23.-Tau
Chapter of Alpha Omicron ri, a ma
tional sorority, has been forced by
legal judgment to pay the 1925 rent
claimed by the landlady of their for
mer headquarters here, despite the
claim of the girls that, although they
were to have the house to themselves,
it was occupied also by a man and
other animals" even more distasteful
to the girls. That the story of the
girls about the "other animals was
bitterly resented by the landlady, Mrs.
Mary Tierney, was shown when it was
limited that she might sue the girls for
SANDER. The girls put up a great
fight, but the court awarded judgment
for the rent from last September to
April of this year, which the girls had
declined to pay.

PETE AND THE GOBLIN.

''Pete." The boy looked around but
did not see anyone. Here | am be-

and out into the floor strutted a small
man. He was about foot high, wore
long white beard, which reached to
his heels and his gown was not in
the best of order.

the goblin continued as ne sprang up

Quest did not wait for another word
He jumped rough bush of scrub on
the right-hand side, galloped over the
ground, which was already hot with
the coming fire, and followed along
down the road which Lenora had
passed. When he came to the first
bend, he could hear the roar of flames
in the trees. A volume of smoke al
most blinded him; his horse became
wholly unmanageable. He slipped
from the saddle and ran on, staggering
from right to left like a drunken man.
About forty yards along the road, Lee
nora was lying in the dust. A volume
of smoke rushed over her. The tree
under which she had collapsed was
already afire. A twig fell from it as
gan to shoulder. He tore off his coat,
wrapped 1t around her. beat out the
fire which was already blazing at her
feet and snatched her into his arms.

"The fire!"
That's all right" Quest shouted.
"We1l be out of it in moment. Hold
tight to my neck"

faltered, as he laid Lenora upon the
ground Another five minutes-well,
we won't talk about it. Let's lift her
on to your horse, Laura, and get back

The Woman Who Didn't Care

A sad little story appeared not very
long ago in the papers wherein a
young man of great possessions" lost
those selfsame possessions and went
off to the wilds of Africa to take up
permanent abode in the backwoods.
And all because of woman-of
course, l say "of course" advisedly,
because in these queer, out-of-the-way
happenings it generally is a case of
"Cherchez la femme!" A woman is at
the bottom of a good deal, you know,
although she never will admit that
fact.
Out in the wilds of Africa don't
know why on earth they always choose
Africa, these disappointed SWANS, but
somehow they always do.-there is a
large army of blighted male beings
whose lives have been spoiled by the
ravages of some woman or other,
some human vampire who took all and
gave nothing, not even little love.
And so they determined to quit the
world and its follies-the latter, of
course, interpreted in the feminine
gender-and to drag out their destiny
somewhere far, very far, from the dis.
turbing atmosphere of frocks and
frills. Substituting the rustic of the
jungle for the rustic of the skirt may
be soothing, but at the same time
it must be a bit lonesome.

is more deadly than the male"
The woman in the newspaper story
who was the means of driving the
young man ''of great possessions" out
of his possessions and into the wilds
of Africa really had acted rather bad
ly. AS | said before, she had taken
pretty well all that she could take
except the one thing he wished most
to give her-his name His time. his
love, his money, even his honor, had
been swallowed up speedily by her
and then she wound up the whole
proceedings by marrying the other
man. In so doing she really rendered
one excellent service to the misguided
youth, but he was in no condition to
appreciate the blessing in disguise.
There are some people who are
quite convinced that the men run off
to the backWoods to avoid the pursuit
of some woman or other Nothing of
the sort! They run off because some
woman has hurt them so badly that
they want to bury themselves and
their sorrows far from commissioning

CHAPTER XXxlI.

The professor laid down his book
and gazed with an amiable smile to-
wards Quest and Lenora
81 fear he remarked, dolefully,
"that my little treatise on the fauna Of
the northern Orinoco scarcely appeals
to you, Mr. Quest"
Quest, whose arm was in a sling, but
who was otherwise none the worse for
his recent adventure, pointed out of
the tent.
Don't you believe it, professor" he
begged. I've been listening to every
word. But say, Lenora, just look at
Laura and French!"
They all three peered anxiously out
of the opening of the tent. Laura and
the inspector were very slowly ap-
preaching the cook wagon. Laura
was carrying large bunch of wild
flowers, one of which she was in the
act of fastening in French's button
hole.
THAT fellow French has got grit"
Quest declared He sticks to it all
the time He'll win out with Laura
in the end, you mark my words"
We've wired for them to meet
Craig" Quest said, after a short ST.
lence. Il only hope they don't let him
slip through their fingers. I haven't
much faith in his promise to turn up
at the professors. Let's see what
Laura and French have to say" =.
Cant see any sense in staying on
here any longer" was French's imme-
diate decision, so long as you two
invalids feel that you can stick the
journey. Besides, we're using up
these fellows hospitality
They busted themselves for the next
hour or two, making preparations.
After their evening meal the two men
walked with Lenora and Laura to
their tent.
81 think you girls had better go to
bed" Quest suggested. TRY and get

That's all very WE'LL" French re-

look at them. The inspector wants
her to take his watch and she can't
quite make up her mind about it. Why,
Laura's getting positively frivolous"
When the inspector returned Quest
handed him telegram:

Very sorry. Craig gave US slip after

When are you returning?

of a large city in the distance, and
near it a beautiful castle of white
stone shining in the evening purple
glow.
Down the road from the palace
came a herald riding a white horse.
Up he went to big oak and on it
stuck a proclamation of the Kings
which said that the Princess, his only
daughter, had lain in a trance for a
week and that he would give her hand
and half of his kingdom to anyone
who would awaken her.
Pete laid himself down under the
tree without any supper. About mid
night he was cold and sat up SILVER.
ing, but as he did so the opal fell out
of his pocket. Without thinking
much what he was doing, the boy put
the jewel in his mouth and lay down
again. Somehow now he felt warm.
He was about to doze off to sleep when
he heard about him a buZZing sound
as if a hundred bees were swarming
around.
He kept still, and presently could
distinguish voices. 1t was two
squirrels talking; then he knew that
the power to understand the animals
was given him by the magic opal.
Its sad about the Princess"
chirped the gray squirrel, for no hui
man knows what will cure her. If
they only knew what a simple thing
it isl"
"And what can be done?' asked the
second squirrel.
"And what can be done?" asked the
second squirrel.
That's easy" replied the gray
fellow. There is nothing serious the
matter with her. She has picked her
finger with a poisonous thorn, which
is still in her thumb. If some one
would pull that out she would be
we'll"
AS soon as it was light Pete walked
rapidly toward the castle, and when
he arrived at the big iron gate he de-
manded to see the Princess. The
guards laughed at the dusty lad and
would have turned him aawy, but
the King happened to be passing and
ordered the gate opened.
Pete ran quickly to the marble
steps into the vast hall, all hung with
candles burning about the couch on
which lay the body of the beautiful
Princess. She lay as one asleep, but
her face was as white as wax. Pete
took up her hand, found thorn in
her thumb and pulled it out. In an
instant the color flowed back to the
lovely cheeks and the Princess sat up
in perfect health.
The King was wild with delight, the
bugles blew, the drums beat, the SOL
diers galloped out into the country to
spread the glad tidings. and the
Princess herself stayed in the room
sitting on the couch talking to Pete.
Then. after he had taken a bath and
put on royal robes, the marriage was
celebrated with great pomp.

that he is far from being happy in
himself You'll ring when you're

The door was suddenly opened and
Craig entered.

serge suit and bowler hat, smok
ing a cigar, looking across here"
Mrs. Mallory and the girl both
obeyed. The girl was the first to
speak.
Yes she answered "He is looking
straight at these windows"
Craig groaned and sank down upon
chair.
Leave us, if you please, Mrs Ma
lony,' he ordered. I'll ring when I'm
ready"
The landlady left the room silently.
The girl came over to her uncle and
threw her arm around his neck.
He patted her head, felt in his peck
cts and drew out little paper bag,
from which he shook bunch of vio-
let's,

claimed. You think of everything!"
He sighed

She crossed the room with light
footsteps. Presently she returned.

''Good-by, DEAR" he said. Il want

to the landlady below. She sank into

There's no sense in coming here

declared, irritably. "As for Mr.. Craig,

remarked.

If not Illuminating, to listen to con-
trary opinion. 1T is a well-known
fact declares one woman writer,
that though in the process of evolu-
-tion of mankind man came first and
woman after, woman has reversed the
procedure ever since. There isn't
woman living, or dead, who at one
time or another hasn't inaugurated a
man-hunt of her own This being so,
IL can quite understand why it is, if
it is as l was told the other day, that
nine out of every ten white men in
Nigeria are out there to get away
from some woman.
81 suppose even the most intrepid
of Observation-Disclosures wouldn't venture
into a climate totally unsuited to any
feminine complexion, whether manu-
ufactured Or guaranteed to a strict
homemade product. And even an
abundance of natural cozy corners in
the way of palms and ferns and shade
would hardly compensate for the
chance of a lion interrupting at the
wrong moment. Still it seems a long
way for the men to go on the chance
of escaping matrimony. l am not a
feminist, but l can't help hoping that
the Nigerian ladies may get a little
of our own back. | shouldn't wonder
if they did. After all, their skins may
be dusky, but they must have inherit
ed something from Eve, even if it is
only her costume!"
This explanation of the backwoods
situation is entirely uncOnvincing,
and, in my opinion, the feminine
heart-breaker has much to answer for.
