Hanson hid grin as he turned and
sought his saddle. Bwana stepped
from the veranda to his study, where
he found the Hon. Morrison pacing back
and forth, evidently very III at ease.
"Baynes," said Bwana, coming d.
rectly to the point, Hanson Is leaving

great fancy to you and just asked
me to say to you that he'd be glad to
have you accompany him. Good night,

he might get an early start.
The farewell exchanges between the
Hon. Morrison and his host were of the
most formal type, and whep at last
the guest rode away Bwana breathed
sigh of relief. 1t had been an un-
pleasant duty, and he was glad that
1t was over, but he did not regret his
action.
He did not mention the subject again
to Meriem, and in this he made mis-

and sensitive, so that Bwana's action
in sending Baynes away and giving her
no opportunity to explain or defend

much toward making martyr of
Baynes in her eyes and arousing in her
breast keen feeling of loyalty toward
him.

Expect New Comet.

A spectacle in the sidereal heavens
of surprising brilllancy may be ex-
pected the coming spring If the pre-
dictlons of cometary observers are
verified. Not since the great comet Of
1868, which aroused vast deal Of In
terest, has an appearance In the sky
equaled what Is confidently expected
for 1918. The return OF Halley'a
comet In 1910, which had anxlousiy
been awaited, did not come up to what
had been predicted and expected, and
since 1882 there has not been any
especially brilliant comet seen. The
newcomer, Is described as gigantic
comet, outclasslng In size and brillian-
cy all those seen In modern times. II
will be n thing of glory in the north
western sky throughout tie spring, as
tronomers say, probably remaining WIS.,
ible for three months, being at its
brightest in June. 1t is now speeding
toward the sun at an approximate
rate Of 1,134,246 miles day.

LEARNING TO FORGET BEAUTY
Difficult Lesson for Woman, Asserts
English Writer, In Describing the
Aged Queen Alexandra.

"There Is no more difficult lesson for
q woman to learn than that Of learning
how to forget that she has been beauh-
full" writes clever English woman.
"One afternoon / saw Queen Alex
andra driving slowly In her open motor
through the gates at Hyde Park cor
ner. For the first time 1t occurred to
me that this rarely lovely queen Is now
an old woman nearing four-score years
of age. Perhaps she had forgotten to
be alert, as Is her usual custom, or per
haps the heat of the day had fatigued
her. But Mt any rate there was
touch OF tragedy In the thought that
Queen Alexandra Is learning slowly.
but surely, that extreme beauty can
fade although the charm of person
atty can challenge the attack Of time.
81 fancy 1t must have been the queen
mothers costume that brought this
idea most surely before me. She was
wearing mantle or cloak made OF
some material In shade of iridescent
blue spangles with close frilling Of
black lace oil round the edge. Her hat
or bonnet was of the usual royal shape
and built of jetted stuff 10 match her
cloak, with small white aigrette
standing erect In front.
"Under ordinary circumstances one
would regard this quaint nineteenth
century toilet of the queen mothers as
characteristic conventionality, but
somehow on this sunny afternoon 1t
represented to me a sacrifice to the In.
evitable."

as Baynes turned his eyes upon him at
the remark.
He thinks lot Of the GIRL contin-
ued Hanson, rand don't want nobody
TO marry her and take her away. But
II looks to me as-though he was dom
her more harm than good In sendin'
you away. She ought to marry some
time, and she couldn't do better than
fine young gentleman like you.
Baynes, who had at first felt inclined
to take offense at the mention of his
private affairs by this common Fellow.
was Modified by Hanson's final remark
and Immediately commenced to see In
him man of discrimination.
"He's darned beunder,' grumbletl
the Hon. Morrison, "but. I'll get even
with him. He may be the whole thing
In central Africa, but I'm as big as he

"It's mighty good of you, Hanson"
replied Baynes, warming up bit, "but

trading and hunting here for ten years,
and know as much about the country
as he does. If you want to take the
girl along I'll help you. and I'll guar
antee that there won't nobody catch
up with us before we reach the coast.
''I'll tell you what-you write her a
note, and I'll get 1t to her by my head
man. Ask her to meet you to say
goodby. She won't refuse that. In the
meantime we Gun be movin camp a
little farther north all the time, and
you can make arrangements with her
to be all ready on certain night. Tell
her I'll meet her then, while you wait
for us in camp. That'll be better, for
l know the country well and can cover
1t quicker than you. You Gun take

The balance of the long ride to Han

lence, for both men were occupied with
their own thoughts, most Of which
were far from being either compli'
mentary or loyal to the other.

though there was somuthing on his
mind he felt in duty bouod to say. but
hated to.
"What is it, Hanson2" asked Bwana.
"You were about to Shy something,
weren't you"
"Well, you see, it's like this" VEN
tured Hanson. "Beln' around here
evenings good deal I've seen them
two together lot, and, beggin' your
pardon, sir, but don't think Mr..
Baynes means the girl any good. I've
overheard enough to make me think
he's tryin' to get her to run off with
him."
Hanson, to fit his own ends, hit near
er the truth than he knew. He was
afraid that Baynes would interfere
with his own plans, and he had hit
upon scheme both to utilize the young
Englishman and get rid of him at the
same time.
"And thought" continued the trad
er, that, inasmuch as I'm about due
to move, you might like to suggeE1. to
MIR. Baynes that he go with me. I'd
be willin' to take him north to the car
avan trails as favor to you, SIR"
Bwana stood In deep thought for q
moment. Presently he looked up.
"Of course, Hanson, Mr.. Baynes is
my guest" he said, grim twinkle In
his eye. REALLY cannot accuse him
of planning to run away with Meriem
on the evidence that we have, and as
he Is my guest 1 should hate to be 50

At the bungalow Bwana had met
the returning adventures on the YER

quarters, Bwana had noticed that the
corral gate was open, and further in
vestigation revealed the fact that Me-

most often used by Baynes.
