CHAPTER XII.

Bibbs went home bordering. He did
not understand why Sibyl had laughed.
At home, uncles, aunts and cousins
from out of town were wandering
about the house, several mournfully
admiring the bay of Naples" and
others occupied with the Moor and the
plumbing, while they waited for trains.
Edith and her mother hadsretired to
some upper fastness, but Bibbs inter
viewed Jackson and had the various
groups Of relatives summoned to the
dining room for food. One great-uncle,
old Gideon Sheridan from Boonville,
could not be found, and Bibbs went
in search Of him. He ransacked the
house, discovering the missing antique
at last. by accident. Passing his ia

heard murmurous sound, and paused
to listen. The sound proved to be
quavering and rickety voice, monoto-
nously bleating:
The Lo-ord givuth and the Lo-ord

that; we got to remember that! I'm
a-gittin' along, James; I'm a-gittin'

Bibbs opened the door softly. His
: father was lying upon the bed, in his
underclothes, face downward, and
Uncle Gideon sat near by, swinging
backward and forward in a rocking
chair, stroking his long, white beard
and gazing at the ceiling as he talked.
Bibbs beckoned him urgently, but
Uncle Gideon paid no attention.

The truth about BlDDS was ,ne
poem which Edith had adopted. But
he had not hidden his feelings about
his father where they could not be
found. He was strange to his father,
but his father was not strange to him
He knew that Sheridan's plans were
conceived in the stubborn belief that
they would bring about a good thing
for Bibbs himself; and whatever the
result was to be, the son had no bit,
terness Far otherwise, for as he
looked at the big, woeful figure, shak-
ing and tortured, an almost unbearable
pity laid hands upon Bibbs' throat
Roscoe stood blinking, his lip culver
ing: Edith wept audibly: Mrs. Sheri
dan leaned in half collapse against
her husbands; but Bibbs knew that his
father was the one who cared.
1t was over. Men in Overalls
stepped forward with their shovels,
and Bibbs nodded quickly to Roscoe,
making a slight gesture toward the
line of waiting carria ges. Bibbs gazed
steadfastly at the workmen; he knew
that his father kept looking back as
he went toward the carriage, and that
was a thing he did not want to see.
After little while, ITS too bad"' he
half whispered his lips forming the
wordS-and his meaning was that it
was too bad that the strong brother
had been the one to go. For this was
his last thought before he walked to
the coupe and saw Mary Vertrees
standing all alone on the other side
of the drive.
She had just emerged from a grove
of leatiess trees that grew on a slope
where the tombs were many. Against

so long and slender, and his face so
long and thin and white; nor was the
undertaker's coupe out of keeping, with
the shabby driver doing on the box
and the shaggy horses standing pa
tiently in attitudes without hope and
without regret. But for Mary Vertrees,
here was grotesque setting-she was
4 vivid, living creature of beautiful
world And graveyard is not the
place for people to look charming.
She also looked startled and con-
fused, but not more startled and con-
fused than Bibbs. All his life Bibbs
had kept himself to himself-he was
but shy onlooker in the world. New
ertheless, the startled gaze he bent
upon the unexpected lady before him
had causes other than his shyness and
her unexpectedness. For Mary Yer

of waking there is a little pause

has not begun. 1t is the moment, as
we say, before we remember" and
for the first time in Bibbs' life it came
to him bringing a vague happiness.
However, it was brief visitation and
was gone before he had finished dress

recollection of it and the puzzle Of it,
which remained unsolved. And, in
fact, waking happily in the morning is

It struck Bibbs that Jackson was
right. The day passed as other days
had passed Mrs Sheridan and Edith
were in black, and Mrs. Sheridan cried
a little, now and then, but no other
external difference was to be seen.
Bibbs went for his drive, and his
mother went with him, as she some
times did when the weather was pleas

things was rather startling to Bibbs.

the window, and looked for long time
at the darkened house where Mary
Vertrees lived. Then he opened his
trunk, took therefrom a small notebook
half filled with fragmentary scrib
blings, and began to write:
Laughter after a funeral. In this re-
action people will laugh at anything and
at nothing. The band plays a dirge on
the way to the cemetery but when 1t
turns back, and the mourning carriages
are out Of hearing it strikes up, Ozark
town Is Out Tonight" That is natural
but there are women whose laughter is
like the whirring Of whips. 49,.
Beauty is not out of place among grave
stones It is not out Of place anywhere.
But a woman who has been betrothed to
man would not look beautiful at his
funeral. A woman might look beautiful,
though, at the funeral Of a man whom
she had known and liked. And in that
case, too, she would probably not want
to talk if she drove home from the ceme-
terry with his BROTHER nor would she
want the brother to talk =. Neverthe-
less, too much silence is open to suspi-
cion It may be reticence, or it may be a
vacuum. It may be dignity, or it may be
false teeth. -.
Silence can be golden? Yes. But per-
haps if a woman of the world should find
herself by accident sitting beside a man
for the length of time it must necessarily
take two slow old horses to jog three
miles, she might expect that man to say
something Of some sort! If he did not
even try, but sat every step Of the way
as dumb as a frozen fish, she might
think him a frozen fish. And she might
be right. She might be right if she
thought him about as pleasant a COM
panion-as Bildad the Shuttle.
Bibbs closed his notebook, replacing
it in his trunk. Then, after a period
of melancholy contemplation, he I'M
dressed, put on a dressing gown and
slippers, and went softly out into the
hall-to his fathers door Upon the
floor was tray which Bibbs had sent
George, earlier in the evening, to place
upon table in Sheridan's room-but
the food was untouched. Bibbs stood
listening outside the door for several
minutes. There came no sound from
within, and he went back to his own
room and to bed.

USE ARABS TO FIGHT LOcUSTS
Soldiers Dig Trenches Into Which
Matching Pests Were Driven
and Destroyed.

Djemal Pasha put some thousands
of Arab soldiers at my brothers dis
position, and these were set to work
digging trenches into which the. hatch
ing locusts were driven and destroyed.
This is the only means of coping with
the situation; once the locuSts get
their wings, nothing can be done with
them. 1t was hopeless fight Nothing
short of the cooperation of every
farmer in the country could have won
the day; and while the people of the
progressive Jewish villages struggled
on TO the end-men, women and chill
dren working in the fields until they
were exhausted-the Arab farmers sat
by with folded hands. The threats of
the military authorities only stirred
them to half-hearted efforts. Finally,
after two months of toll, the campaign
was given up and the locusts broke in
waves over the countryside, destroying
everything. As the Prophet Joel said:
1.-THE land is as the Garden of Eden
before them, and behind them DESC
late wilderness. The field is wasted;
the land mourneth, for the corn is
wasted; the new wine is dried up, the
oil languisheth."
Not only was every green leaf de-
voured, but the very bark was peeled
from the trees, which stood out white
and lifeless, like skeletons. The fields
were striped to the ground, and the
old men of our villages, who had given
their lives to cultivating these gardens
and vineyards, came out of the syna-
gogues where they had been praying
and wailing and looked on the ruin
with dimmed eyes. Nothing was
spared. The insects, in their fierce
hunger, tried to engulf everything in
their way.-Alexander Aaronsohn, In

At the beginning of the world war
Brody was a thriving commercial cen
ter with population approaching 90
900, more than two-thirds of whom
were Jews. It's prosperity was checked
to some extent about 40 years ago,
when, after having enjoyed the privi-
legeS of a free commercial city for
exactly 100 years, it's charter was with
drawn.
n Less than half a century before
Brody was created a town in the sew
enteenth century it was the scene of
commanded by their famous grand
hetman, Stanislaus Ponieckpolski, de-
feated Tartar army. This was the
last battle of Ponieckpolski's dis
tinguished career. For a quarter of a
century he was at war with Turks and
Swedes, his initiation in military
science being somewhat disastrous, for
he was captured by the Turks in his
first important engagement and was
held in close confinement for three
years at ConstantinOple. Upon his re-
lease in 1862 he was placed in COM
mand of the Polish republics forces
and with force of $4,000 defeated co.
900 Tartars at Martynow. His achieve
ments against the army of Gustavus
AdOlphus were no less noteworthy than
his long series of victories whereby he
succeeded in keeping the Ukraine I'M
der Polish rule:
Brody twice suffered from disas-
trous CONGREGATIONS during the nine
teenth century. The first, occurring
in 1901, destroyed 1900 houses, while
the fire of 1859 reduced 1000 homes
and business establishments to ashes.
The upper waters of the Styr river
form an irregular arc extending from
the southwest to the north of Brody,
being ten miles distant at it's nearest
point, toward the northwest. Five
miles from the city, just beyond the
border on the Dubno-Lemberg railway,
is the Russian town of RadziwilOw,
with a population of about 5000.

and end the farce"
They were out In the Bulger auto
mobile that afternoon and Bliss was
waiting till they got away from the
crowded business center to deliver his
ultimatum. A jam Of vehicles blocked
them near the curb at one place. Di-
rectly within reaching distance stood
a thin threadbare old man. He put
out his hand for aims TO the passers-
by. .Porter's generous nature was
touched by his forlOrn friendliness.
He took a dollar bill from his pocket,
leaned out of the machine and placed
it in the hands of the old man.
"Oh, thank you, sir" began the
mendicant, and then his eye CHANGED
to fall upon Bulger. The latter
shrank, cringed. Into the face of the
old man there had come fearful
rage, yet, withal, tempered with a
certain dignity. He drew himself up
TO his full height. He tore the bank
note into a hundred pieces. He
leaned over and flung them squarely
into the face of the covering Bulger.
"You and your broodw he shout
ed out, Il would starve ere l took
charity from such," and then, the Gu
rious crowd surging about him, he
screamed out frightful arraignment
of Bulger. He accused him of ex-
tortion, of running his business life,
of driving him TO beggary. The few
words fell like burning hot missiles,
and, as the automobile started up,
Bulger gasped family:
"I am ilI-get me home at once"
de was, indeed, i'll, for he never got
orer the shock of the fearful anath-
emas hurled upon his guilty head 1t
seemed to Bliss that day and night
after that the old mendicant haunted
Bulger. The latter gave up his blood
money traffic, but would awaken In
his sleep shrieking out the name OF
Robert Lane. He sought respite in a
new sphere of money-mad excitement,
gambling on the stock exchange, be-
came a fieecer, fleeced and losing most
of his fortune in wild speculation.
Then he died with the name of Rob-
ert Lane upon his tortured lips and
Bliss was his heir.

WORD ABOUT CHEWING GUM
IL AIIeviates the Pangs of Hunger and
Makes a Cut in the
Board Bill.

The question, "Why is chewing
gum?" has at last been answered.
Chewing gum, according to DR.. Anton
Carlson, associate professor of physi-
ology at the University of Chicago, re-
duces the board bill.
Doctor Carlson tells of hundreds OF
experiments on humans, dogs, guinea
pigs and rabbits, proving that hunger
pangs diminish with use of chewing
gum, chewing tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes. The direct result of gnaw-
ing at a piece of gum is the stimula-
ton of nerves in the mouth This SEN
sation causes a decrease in stomach
contractions, thus assuaging the sharp
est appetite.
Professor Carlson found whisky or
other strong alcoholic beverages intro
duced into the empty stomach of dogs
in sufficient amount will abolish the
hunger contractions of the stomach for
SO hours.
Doctor Carlson advocates a semian-
nual period of starvation as means
of frightening the span of life and OBJ
tanning greater enjoyment from liv-
ing.
There is no pain or suffering In
voIved in starvation" he says. Dur
ing the entire period of abstinence
from food during my experiments the
hunger sensation was strong enough to
cause some discomfort, but not to g
degree that could be called pain. This
discomfort was at no time sufficient to
interfere seriously with work"

Max Bulger was known to the well
advised in metropolitan business cir
cles as "a shark" He had capital COM
ing, going, doubling, trebling, and called
it 'the stream of power" Within its
depths he lurked, ready to pounee on
any unwary victim who trusted to its
treacherous course. Into the stream
he lured fair but unsuspecting craft
and generally scuttled them.
His only living relative seemed to
be Bliss Porter, just out of college and
headed for a legal career. The young
man had barely heard of this sordid
ha1f-uncIe until he was amazed, in
another city, struggling along indiffer-
emily, to receive a check for five hun
dred dollars from his relative, crisply
ordering him to close up his affairs and
come to Chicago.
81 am going to leave my fortune to
you," was the blunt startling an
nouncement of old Max, provided you
learn my business and carry it on
where I leave it Off"
This seemed promising, but. at the
end of a week, after his esteemed
relative had shown him "the ropes"
Bliss Porter was disguised. The
precious ways of the shark, the tricks,
the traps, the preversions amazed and
then shocked him. He saw deluded
business men in need of money place
themselves totally in the power of a
heartless, devouring monster. He
saw a family disrupted through the
harsh measures employed in collect
ing an overdue obligation. Max Bull
ger cared only for his pound Of flesh.
1t mattered little to him that his ex-
acting extortjons were at the cost of
all his victim possessed.

conceited about his fine figure, wore
corsets to show 1T off. One day he

one all over to see if any bones hap

yelled out to another laborer:
