A local Encouragement Of heat seems
to accompany brain activity. DIR. ]. s.
Lombard found in more than 10000
observations that any intellectual eff
fort, such as computing, composing, re-
citing poetry silently or aloud, and
especially that emotional excitement,
such as a fit of anger, caused gen.
eral rise of temperature.
The rise was in most cases more
marked in the middle region OF the
head than elsewhere. Strange to say.
1T was greater in reciting poetry ST.
lently than in reciting 1t aloud. Doc
tor Lombard's explanation is that ''in
internal recitation an additional por-
ton of energy, which in recitation
aloud was converted into nervous and
muscular force, now appears as heat"

WAYS uNJUsTLY RATED.
Those Afflicted With That Form or
Timidity Underestimated Because
Their Real Selves Are Never
Allowed Proper Expression.

DR.. Orison SWEET Marden, the world
known philosopher, says:
Hawthorne was one of the shyest
men that ever lived. He used to walk
the streets with his eyes on the ground
to avoid recognizing others, and il he
saw anyone he knew he would cross
the street to escape the embarrass-
ment of a meeting. Later in life he
said God might forgive sins, but awk-
wardness had no forgiveness in heaven
or on earth. His own imagined awk-
wardness was due to his timidity, his
morbid self-consciousness.
After spending the evening at Emer-
sons house, George William Curtis
spoke of Hawthorne, who had sat ST.
lent as a shadow all evening and had
scarcely spoken to anyone. Curtis won
dered why no one had looked after
him. But being looked after" would
only have made him more miserable.
Once, when making call, Hawthorne
asked his hostess what he should
talk about and she advised him eli
mate.''
1t is not recorded whether he found
even this topic sufficiently inspiring to
tempt him to break his habitual ST.
lence. Visiting a naval officer, and
being pressed for something to say,
Hawthorne asked him if he had ever
been in the Sandwich islands. His
host concluded that the man who
would ask aimless, silly questions OF
this sort could not be much of a
genius.
know people of great scholarly at
tainments and mental caliber who go
through life practically unknown, UNI
appreciated even in their own neighbor-
hood. They live by themselves just
because nobody seems able to get at
them, to understand them. They do
to make themselves unapproachable.
There is something about them that
repels people, and yet they feel kindly
toward everybody. They would be
glad of chance to do favor to
anyone, but they are misunderstood
because they are too ti1nid and shy
to come out of their shell.
Shy people are constantly misunder-
stood and underestirnated, because
their real selves are never allowed
expression. They are so afraid that
others are weighing and measuring
them in the balance and finding them
wanting that whenever they can they
flock by themselves as the Irish
man puts it.
Their shrinking, self-effacing, apollo
getic attitude is fatal to their eff.
cheney as we'll as to their comfort and
happiness. If, instead Of avoiding
others, they would mix freely in soci-
ETY. and undertake responsibility at
every opportunity, no matter how it
might pain them or how every nerve
might shrink from human contact; il
they would stop staying alone in cor
ners at receptions and in drawing
rooms, If they would cease worrying
about their appearance and manner,
and would force themselves into the
great human current, they would soon
entirely overcome their self-conscious-
ness.-Pictorial Review.

Two at a time? You're getting bet
ter"
The captain subsidized. zone for
Alan" he grunted.
The drinks came. Alan welcomed
his. He was tired and faint after the
long journey. The captain gazed on
his own glass defiantly but ordered the
maid to set it on the table at his side.
Alan waited long for him to take it
up, and then he saw that the captain
had fallen asleep. Alan slipped his
drink. The captain was right, it was
flavorless. But Alan remembered that
he had thrown away his last cigarette
for the same reason. He sighed.
In spite of the judge, Alix was feel
ing very lonely, abandoned, unloved.
She sat on the little veranda at the
back of the town house and day
dreamed. Across her knee lay the
morning paper. A word caught her
eye. Elenic. Half unconsciously she
read: Among the arrivals by the
Elenic Hon. Percy Collinge-
ford"
Collingeford! She started to her feet
and then with what seemed a percep-
tible click her mind repeated, "Elenic."
She sat down again. The hand that
held the paper was trembling. She sat
for a long time looking at her hand.
The telephone bell rang, but she did
not hear it. Old John came and stood
beside her.
"Mr Collingeford telephones to know
IL you are in town."
A frightened CLEAN showed in Alix'
eyes. 1t passed and a fame of color
came into her pale cheeks. yes" she
said. 81 am at home. Tell him / will
see him at any time today"
Collingeford lost no time. When he
arrived Alix was still sitting on the
veranda. She received him there. He
came upon her with a rush-like
fresh breeze. what luckw he cried.

day?

CHAPTER xxVll--Continued.

Alan's eyes cleaned with amuse-
ment at the ripping words. Alix was
certainly well. Then suddenly she col
lapsed in chair. Three years. she
gasped. Her hands went up to hold
her head and she began to cry in a
way Alan had never heard a woman
cry before. The gasping sobs racked
his nerves. He felt as though the sobs
wef0 tearing their way up from his
the chair in which he sat- His body
telephoned to his brain that he was
going to faint and at such astounding
news Ten Percent Wayne woke up and
took charge. "Alixr' the word snapped
out like the crack of a whip. "You
stop crying or I'll slap you, and when
l slap l slap hard"
Alix choked, swallowed AND looked
at him, outraged and unbelieving.
Alan's eyes were blazing You listen
to me-" he commanded, listen to every
word l say. You've gone through lot
In three years, but just fasten your
mind on to this: so has Gerry. That
note is colorless because Gerry made
it colorless. 1t doesn't tell anything,
because Gerry isn't a coward and be-
cause there are things he must tell
you face to face to get your answer
clear in his own mind. I'm making
you curious with every word. All right,
be curious. But you can be sure Of
one thing; If Gerry had wanted me
10 tell you his story he'd have asked
me to, but he didn't. He didn't even
ask me not to. He was standing in
deep waters, but he had his head and
shoulders out. He wasn't asking for
my or anybody else's hand to help
him up the bank. He didn't ask me
not to NEEDLE because he knew l was
man enough to see where he stood
without words. He trusted me- Al
ans voice trailed off weakly. He
closed his eyes.
"But, Alan" said Alix, 81 must know
something. Is he well? Is he

thing and then I'm going to sleep.
never thought the old Rock would ever
loom so big"
Alix watched him doze off. She felt
strangely comforted by the crumb he
mad tossed her. She went back in her
mind to a dinner of long ago, when
she had defended Gerry's placid
weight against Alan. She sat on for
half an hour, busy with varying
thoughts. She looked curiously around
Alan's sitting room. How strange
that she should be here and yet now
natural. How safe she felt. She won
dered If it was all because OF the de
lenses she had raised up in herser or
whether any woman would feel safe
with the new and weakened Alan. She
slipped out without waking him ana
sent a cable to Pernambuco. By night
she had an answer. Gerry had not yet
sailed!
DAYS passed. She went out only for
exercise. Her mind was busy with
wondering. The judge called regu-
larry. He had put Off going to Red
Hill. He wanted Alix to feel that a
friend was at hand and, besides, he
had Alan on his hands. Alan was
worrying him in new way. Some
ching had gone out of him. Sometimes

to spoil all of Gerry and AIix'

about Margarita ard the boy
