CHAPTER XVII.

Il was ono Of those nights under
whose brooding wings vague things
and influences are astir and In the
making. Dawn had gone back for =
few days to her brothers lonely cabin
on Tribulation to set his house in or
der and to do his simple mending. Per
haps in her own heart there was an
other reason-an unconfessed unwil-
lingness to stay at the bungalow while
she must feel so far away from Jua-
nita and see Roger Malcolm seemingly
20 near.
In her heart vague things were stir
ring, too, and in another heart. The
fact that she had not been allowed to
see young Milt McBriar had given him
an augmented importance which had
kept the boy in her mind despite her
denunciations. Once she had met him
on the road and he had stopped her to
say: Dawn, do ye know why don't
come over thar no more?"
The girl had only nodded and the
boy went on:
'.Well, some day when ye're, at Jeb's
cabin I'm a-comin' thar. hain't q

Cold Liaht.

Rare atmospheric gas known as
neon, which was first isolated in 1898
by fractional distillation of liquid air,
is now used successfully in electric
lighting. II q mild electric current
passes through tube that contains
. minute quantity of neon, it pro
duces a golden light that is soft and
agreeable to the eyes. and makes the
object it illumines stand out with re-
narkable sharpness. The neon tubes
require less current than the mercury
vapor lamp and give out less heat
than any other form Of electric light.
Moreover, the electric current disinte-
CRATES the new gas very slowly; the
tubes will produce light for from eight
hundred to a thousand hours without
being renewed. Recently four neon
tubes, nearly 100 feet long. were sue.
cessfully used to light an exhibit at
the Grand Palais In Paris.

Together they rose and recrossed
the stile and washed their grimed
faces. Dawn looked from one to the
other. and Jeb said: "Milt. set yore-
self cheer. reckon ye'd better stay
all night. It's most too fur ter ride
back"
And so, though they did not realize
it, the two youths who were to stand
some day near the heads Of the two
factions, had set a new precedent and
had fought without guns. as men had
fought before the feud began 49,

down, and before the flaming logs sat

Psyche Of capua.

Edmund Won Mach in his "Hand.
book of Greek and Roman Sculpture"
says that the marble Psyche of Ca
qua, "so-called," was discovered in
the ruins of the amphitheater in Ca
pua, together with the Capuan Aphro-
dite, IN the middle of the eighteenth
century. The lower part of the nose
has been restored and the entire fig
ure has been polished to obtain a
smooth surface. The figure seems
too mature to be a Psyche anc may
be ali image of ALhrodite. Judged
az piece of architectural decoration
this Psyche is perfect" says Won
Mach. Studied close at hand it Is
very disappointing. The body is in

is no fine modelling anywhere"

She chanaed Her Mind.

II think they're an excellent thing"
said a well-known churchwoman, in
speaking Of baseball pools. Her re-
mark fairly took several persons with
whom she was talking off their feet.
and it was several seconds before the
others had recovered from their sur
prise sufficiently to answer. Finally
one of them asked her if she knew
that the pools were practically moth
ing more than. the old lotteries that
were suppressed years ago. ooh" she
said, flushing, lis that what they are!

Catfish and Ee,,.

Catfish, in some places known as
rock-salmon, is extensively used in
Germany. In the eighties the late
Baroness Burdett -Coutts made a val
liant attempt to get people to eat cat
fish, dogfish, cells, and their like. At
a big exhibition held at the time she
had fish restaurants organized, where
these fish were cooked and sold at
sixpenny fish meals, and were an ex.
traordinary success. When the exhi.
bition was over, however. the public
forget them.-Londou Tit-Bits.
