city I'm the world for population and COM
merce. I give you the figures, according
to an atlas of 1911: London, England

has been the largest city in the world, by
large margin for population. 1t is also the
leading commercial city and financial CEN

population, which is 2.Sss.110. New York

the mountains-but to Winkie it
seemed the sweetest of loving tones.
But all this was in the days, millions
and millions of years ago, when there
were no people our size on the earth,
only the race of huge giants.
One day Winkie was playing in the
yard with his first baseball 1t was
just the size of two-room cottage,
but Winkie threw it about easily. Sud
denly it rose high in air and curved
over into the next garden Winkie be-
gan to wall. Then he noticed big
knot-hole in the fence. Peeping
through the hole he saw horrid ugly
ogre digging roots, and there on the
ground lay his big yellow ball.
Now, if there was anything in the
world that Winkie was afraid of, it
was this same old ogre, whose name
was Dumdum. But he wanted that
ball, so he butted his way through the
gate and stood before the ogre trem-
bling
Il want my BALI" wept Winkie,
Leave that ball alone" snorted the
ogre, lit fell on my lot and is mine
Winkie wept till the water fell like a
mill race, but Dumdum went on dig
ging and singing to himself a song
that sounded like loose plank on the
side of barn. After a while he
picked up the baby giant and dropped
him back on his own side of the fence,
then he put the ball in his cupboard.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1916-07-14

your housekeeper comes home 10
night" said Wrinkle as he took up his
ball and left through the window.
Call over to see me sometime"
Winkie went slowly down the pain
by the fence. At one place 1t had
lost almost every plank and opened
into a wide common. BY the time
that Winkie went by this place the
ogre had worked his right arm free
from the hoop. AS soon as he caught
sight of Winkie he grabbed cheese.
and, aiming it right at the baby
giants head, sent it sailing through
the air
But it did not hit Winkie at all.
The big cheese sailed higher and high
er. for it was magic cheese, and at
last it stuck up right in the sky among
the stars. Wrinkle wondered at the
new, round yellow thing up above
the clouds, but neither he nor anyone
else ever knew till today that what
people call the moon is nothing but
the ogre's cheese that he threw at
wee Winkie, the baby giant.

He greeted Caryl with his usual

girl knew him too well now to fear
tnat he would refer by word or look
to their encounter at the studio en-.
trance. He had passed her and her
companion then with no sign of rec.
ognition except his lifted hat Now
his manner gave her no reason to
fancy that he appreciated that she
had lied to him yesterday noon. Yet

that he knew. and the thought made

He handed her the letter, and Caryl
felt her face burning under his. brief
glance. She slipped the epistle un-
opened into her handbag Intuition
told her that 1t was from Hadley, and
she did not care to read it in the
presence of this man whom she was
beginning to hate with the antagonism
OF a weak nature for a dominant one.

suspicion that Delaine had brought
her sister home, but she could not
make him betray this fact She had
asked Julia few questions, contenting
herself with an expression = as

her clothing when she reached her
room, but her sister had offered no
explanation.
When the dictation was finished the
girl laid down her pad with an affected
laugh.

fact that she herself had occupied the
very position in the pseudo employ
of Bertrand Rockamore which she de-
rided in his office boy.
He did not attempt to guide her In

observing that she was too much agi-

Instead, he waited patiently for her
