After her talk with the act
ress, Rose begins to understand
more why it is that married
folks don't always get along
very we'll together. An inter-
esting problem is unfolded in
the next installment.
(TO BE CONTINUED)
WORLD OWES MUCH TO WATT
Scotsman the First to Realize and
Make Practical the Wonderful
Power of Steam.

Science took tear from the cheek
of unpaid labor, converted it into steam
and created giant which turns with
tireless arms the countless wheels OF
toll"
Thus Ingersoll's poetic explanation
Of the origin of the transformation
of pent-up steam into controlled and
industrially valuable mechanical ac-
ton. Elaborated in more prosaic
manner, James Watt, a young Scotch
man of Glasgow, and an instrument
maker by trade, once had an idea. 1t
was most revolutionary idea. Men
had been working on steam engines
for many centuries, but they had pro-
duced nothing Of any practical value.
In the engines of that period steam
was admitted into only one end of the
cylinder, and about the only use such
an engine had was to pump water. And
it wasn't very good at that. AS for
using an engine to turn wheel-why,
nobody had thought of that. 1t SIM
ply wasn't being done. But james did
it. He let steam into both ends of the
cylinder instead of only one, put a fly
wheel on the end of q shaft and a
crank on the other, and there was the
steam engine, all ready for its real
business.
Watt was born in Greenock, Scot
land, on January 10, 1916, his father
being q builder, contractor and mer-
chant
Middletown transcript., 1917-04-28
CHAPTER vi.

The First Question and Its Answer.
Roses instructive attitude toward
the group of young to middle-aged
married people into which her own
marriage had introduced her was
founded on the assumption that, allow
ing for occasional exceptions, the hus-
bands and wives felt toward each
other as she and Rodney did-were
held together by the same irresistible,
unanalyzable attraction.
Oh, there were bumps and bruises,
of course! She had seen Rodney drop
off now and again into a ScOWllng aD-
stractiOn, during which it was so evl-
dent he didn't want to talk to her, or
even be reminded that she was about,
that she had gone away flushed and
wondering, and needing an effort to
hold back the tears.
These weren't frequent occurrences,
though, and did not weaken her idea
that, barring tragic and disastrous
husbands, cold, mer-
cenary wives-which had to be ad-
mitted as eXisting-marriage was
state whose happy satisfactoriness
could, more or less, be taken for
granted.
1t was something that 'Simone Gre
vile said which gave rise to her first
misgiving that marriage was not, per-
haps-even between people who loved
each other quite as simple rs 1t
seemed. No one has studied our lei
surcd and cultivated classes with more
candor and penetration than this great
Franco-Austrian actress. She had
ample opportunities for observation
because. while she played to houses
that couldn't be dressed to look more
than q third full, she was enormously
in demand for luncheons, teas, dinners
suppers, Christmas bazaars, charity
dances, and 50 on.
Rose had met her number of times
before the incident referred to hap
pened, but had always surveyed the
lioness from afar.
She hung about, within earshot
when it was possible, and watched
leaving the active duties of entertain
ment to heavily cultured illuminat
like the Howard Vests, or to clever
creatures like HermiOne Woodruff anc
Frederick, and Constance Crawford
whose French was good enough to ill
in the interStices in Madame Greyille's
English.
She was standing about like that a
tea one afternoon, when she heart
the actress make the remark thai
American women seemed to her to bt
an exception to what she had alway:
supposed to be the general law o.
sex attraction.
1t was taken, by the rather tens'
little circle gathered around her, a:
compliment; exactly as. no doubt
Middletown transcript., 1917-04-28
CHAPTER IV-Continued.

She refused to hear word more
in those circumstances. I'm coming
straight down." she said, "and weh go
somewhere for lunch. Don't you real
fze that we can't talk about 1t ike
this? Of course you wouldn't, but It's
So"
Over the lunch-table she got as de-
tailed an account Of the affair as Rod-
nev. in his somnambulistic condition,
was able to give her, and she passed
it on to Martin that evening as they
drove across to the North side Tor
dinner.
"Well, that all sounds exactly like
Rodney" he commented. Il nope
you'll like the girl!
"That isn't what 1 hope" said Fred
erica. "At least it isn't what I'm most
concerned about. l hope l can make
her like me. Roddy's the only brother
I've got in the world, and I'm not 60
ing to lose him if can help it. Thats S
what will happen if she doesn't IKE
me-"
AS it happened, though, she forgot
all about her resolution almost Win
her first look at Rose. RodneyS at
tennis at description Of her had been
well-meaning; but what he had pre-
pared his sister for, uncOnSclously
of course, in his emphasis on one or
two phases of their first acquaintance,
had been a sort Of slatternly Amazon.
But the effect of this was, really, very
happy; because when perfectly pre-
sentably clad, well-bred, admirably
poised young girl came into the room
and greeted her neither Shyly nor
eagerly, nor with any affectation OF
ease, Il girl who didn't try to pretend
it wasn't critical moment for her,
but was game enough to meet 1t With
out any evidences of panic-when
Frederick realized that this was the
Rose whom Rodney had been telling
her about, she fell in love with her on
thc spot.
Amazingly, as she watched the girl
and heard her talk, she found she was
considering, not Roses availability as
wife for Rodney, but Rodney's as 9
husband for her. 1t was this, perhaps
that led her to say, at the end of hel
!eave-taking: "Roddy has been such
wonderful brother, always, to me
that l suspect you'll find him, some
times. being a brother to you. Don't
l2t ii hurt you if that happens"

Some Don't Get Back.

The dusky tonsorial artist nervously
busted himself among his implements
of torture as the tired business man
sank into the operating chair and pre-
pared to rest while his stubble was be-
ing removed. The barber tucked in the
ample bib, lathered the passive face
and opened his conversational bat.
teries.
"Ah just got back from a funeral"
ventured the ebony as a starter.
The tired B. M. opened one eye,
cleared the lather out of the corner of
his mouth and in biting tone re-
torted:
"You ought to be blamed glad to get
back-a good many people don't"
And the shave continued amid
profound silence.-COlumbus CO., Dis

the way you do over it, and l am
where l can see you shine he took
hold of both her hands, $50 long as
it's like that, you wonder" he said
well, the dinners and the operas and
all that may be piflle, but shall be
blind to the fact"
She kissed both his hands and told
him contentedly that he was a darling.
But, after moments silence, little
frown puckercd her eyebrows and she
asked him what he was so solemn
about.
Well, he had told her the truth.
But precisely as he said it, he felt that
he was not the same man he had been
six months ago. Not the man who had
tramped impatiently back and forth
across Frederica's drawing-rOOm, eX-
pounding his ideals Of space and lei
sure. Not the man who despised the
clutter of expensive junk. That man
would have derided the possibility
that he could ever say this thing that
he, still Rodney Aldrich, had just said
to Rose-and meant And the terrify-
ing thing was that he hadn't resisted
the change-hadnt wanted to resist
didn't want to now, as he sat there
looking at the slumbrous glory of her
eyes.
SO, when she asked him what he
was looking so solemn about, he said
with more truth than he pretended
to himself, that it was enough to make
anybody solemn to look at her.
Middletown transcript., 1917-04-28
"Oh. / WISH" cried Rose, "that l

"Oh, I wish," cried Rose, "that i
knew what you meant by that"
"Why, regard now" said the actress.
''In every capital Of Europe (and l
know them ally, wherever you find
great affairs-matters of state, diplo-
macy, politics-you find the influence
of women in them - women of the

"And why? Because they are capa-
BILE of great passions, great desires.
They are willing to take the art Of
womanhood seriously, make innumer-
able sacrifices for it, as one must for
any art, in order to triumph in It,"
Rose thought this over rather du-
| biously. 1t was a new notion to her
Middletown transcript., 1917-04-28

Greville intended it to be taken. But
her look flashed out beyond the con-
fines of the circle and encountered q
pair of big, luminous eyes, under
brows that had perplexed pucEer in
them. Whereupon she laughed straight
into Roses face and said, lifting her
head little, but not her voice:
"Come here, my child, and tell me
who you are and why you were looking
at me like that"
Rose flushed, smiled that Irresistible
wide smile of hers, and came, not
frightened a bit, nor, exactly, en-
barrassed; certainly not into pretend
ing she was not surprised, and little
breathlessly at a loss what to say.

words, say, ..I'm Just Rose Aldrich."

The Princess Cinderella.

When the society editor of "Ame-
fica'S foremost newspaper" as in It's
trademark it proclaims itself to be,
announced that the Rodney Aldriches
had taken the Allison McCraeS house,
furnished, for a year, beginning in
October she spoke of it as an ideal
arrangement. AS everybody knew, it
was an ideal house for 4 young
married couple, and it was equally
evident that the Rodney Aldriches
were an ideal couple for it.
In the sense that it left nothing to
further realization, it was an ideal
house; an old house in the Chicago
sense. built over into something very
much older still - Tudor, perhaps ~
Jac0bean, anyway. In the supplement
tary matters of furniture, hangingS,
