Mark, leaning hard on his cane,
limped stif1y up the terrace steps to
the porch The parlor-Unity was
beginning to refer to it, not easily, as
the drawing room-was lighted, the
shades were not drawn.
Unity was reclining in graceful atti-
tude-she could be relied upon to pre-
sent graceful poses at all times-in a
big easy chair. Her gown, Of some
soft, pale green stun, vastly became
her and. as did every detail of her
from the carefully achieved couture
to the black velvet slippers that
peeped out from beneath her skirt,
avouched the fact that Unity had
mastered more than the rudiments of
the art of personal decoration.
He went into the house, dotted his
heavy overcoat and 1imped into the
drawing room. Unity did not by so
much as a glance around disturb her
graceful pose until he was at her side.
Then she languidly held up a hand to
him.
He brushed 1t with his lips You're
looking scrumptious, Unity" He went
SO far as to give brief admiring pat
to her hair.
She moved petulantly. Don't!
You'll muss my hair"
He dropped her hand THAT would
be a shame. wouldn't it?"
He sat down near her. She sighed.
The sigh. one might have thought, was
one of alarm and was because she
had noted his pallor, which even
after the spirited drive was SO pro
nounced.

ton was not Unity's She had not

~Oh. Mark. you make me % happyl
Tell me the truth Aren't you glad

that we've got so far5and that we're

held up her lips to him
And is this my reward? Magnifi-

looked curiously at her Long ago he
had been undeceived. He knew that
summoned by her sweetness of flesh
and perfect grooming were not love.
He gently disengaged himself.
No. thanks! I might acquire the
taste. And it's too expensive" He
imped away from her and pretended
to examine a book that lay on the
piano.
She assumed an air OF gentle re-
proach. "Oh. Mark, you don't mean
that?'
She did not detect the warning note

Test for MentaI~DeficIency.

A Belgian physician. Doctor De-
moor, has been making observations
on the capacity of different people
for Judging which of two weights is
the heavier. and has satisfied himself
that, while ordinary people. especially
children, fail to appreciate a small diff
erence. the reverse is the case with
the imbecile. fdiotic and half-witted.
He prepared two bottles, differing in
size, partly filled with heavy min
eral but covered all over with black
paper and exactly equal In weight.
These he handed to $50 children of
from six to fifteen years of age. OF
these $40 judged one bottle to be the
heavier. The other ten said the two
were the same weight These ten chill
dren were all abnormal or degener-
ates.

he was made to pay In many ways for

But In due time and without man

She treated this question to the con-
temptuous silence 1t deserved
And as Mark stood In the hall and
watched her descending the stairs for
the start. he was bound to confess that
she made a fair-oh. q very fair
picture.
Why" he wondered, did the Al
mighty make so pretty shell and put
nothing In it7" This seems to prove
that he had been pretty effectually dis
iliusioned.
However careless he might affect to
be. he was himself keenly elated over
the event. Often he had asked him.
self why Henley. SO friendly in all else,
had never let down the bars before his
home. And as he mounted the steps

He had need of the stimulus of this

rather bored. Then he was introduced

allowed him a breathing spell
Unity was at the very apex of her
existence. She was the prettiest
woman present, with the loneliness of
physical full bloom just before 1t be-
gins to fade. Her hearts desire had
been granted-no longer must she be
content with carelessly tossed crumbs
and crusts of preferment; she sat,
both literally and f1guratively. at the
table of the city's elect.
The salad was being served when
Mrs. Saunders turned to Mark. Mrs.
Saunders was one OF the insecure
ladies who, following Mrs. Henley's
example, had called upon Unity. She
had just been listening, too long for
patience, to her partners praise of
Mrs. Truitt.

quest of Governor Stuart, Attorney
General John Garland Pollard yester-
day asked the city Circuit Court to
