The Ordway new era., 1918-01-11

In his life John entered the famous
opera house. The prince, preceded by
an attendant, led the way to a box
upon the second tier. A woman turned
her head as they entered and stretched
out her hand, which the prince raised
to his lips.
"You see. have taken you at your
word. Eugene" she remarked.
you give me double pleasure, dear
lady," the prince declared. mot only
is 1t joy to be your host, but you give
me also the opportunity of presenting
to you my friend, John Strangewey.
Strangewey, this is my very distant
relative and very dear friend, Lady
Hllda Mulloch."
Lady Hllda smiled graclously at
John. She was apparently of little
less than middle age, with dark bands
of chestnut hair surmounted by tiara.
Her face was the face of clever and
still beautiful woman; her figure slen-
der and dignified; her voice low and
delightful.
Are you paying your nightly hom-
age to Calavera, Mr.. Strangewey, or
are you only an occasional visitor?"
she asked.
"This is my first visit of any sort
to Covent Garden" John told her.
She looked at him with as much sur
prise as good breeding permitted. John,
who had not us yet sat down, seemed
almost preternaturally tall in that
small box, with its low ceiling. He
was looking around the house with the
enthusiasm of boy. Lady Hilda
glanced away from him toward the
prince, and smiled; then she looked
back ut John. There was something
like admiration in he face.
do you live abroad?" she asked.
John shook his head.
II live in Cumberland" he said.
MANY people here seem to think that
that is the same thing. My brother

surely?"
II have not been In London" John
told her, "since passed through 1t on
my way home from Oxford, eight years
ago."
II have never heard anything so ex-
traordinary In my lifel" the woman de-
clared frankly. ''Is 1t the prince who
has induced you to break out Of your
seclusion?"
"Our young FRIEND" the prince ex-
planned, finds himself suddenly in al
tered circumstances He has been left

Prices Of Monkeys Soaring.

Who would think that the European
war would have anything to do with
the price of monkeys? Well. it does
and n great deal, too, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The price of monkeys
has gone up with food, paper, shoes,
etc, to the despair of the pathologist
and to the sorrow of the hurdy- -gurdy
man. The causes for the sudden cor
ner In monkeys are the closing of the
worlds principal wild animal market
at Hamburg, Germany, and the lack Of
shipping facilities. Not long ago the
pathologists of the national public
health service ut Washington wanted
dozen South American monkeys for
experimental purposes. They appealed
to every wild animal dealer In this
country, to the ZOOS, and to the sailors
in port, and finally purchased six at
$1S each.

clothed like other men from head to

Of the most exclusive clubs in London.
The prince proved an agreeable If

people, always with that little note of
personal interest in his few words of
presentation which gave certain sig

CHAPTER xI.

The reception rooms Of Seyre House,
by some people considered the finest In
London, were crowded that night by a
brilliant and cosmopolitan assembly.
For some time John stood by the
princes side and was introduced to
more people than he had ever met be-
fore in his life. Presently, however,
he was discovered by his friend Amer
ton.
"Queer thing your being here, a
friend of the prince and all thatl" the
young man remarked. where's Miss
Sophy this evening?"
81 haven't seen her." John replied. II
don't believe she is invited"
Like to be introduced to some of
the girls, or shall we go and have q
drink?"
John was hesitating when he felt a
hand upon his shoulder. The princes
voice sounded in his ear.
"Strangewey." he said, 81 am privi-
legged to present you to Nine. Aida
Calavera. Madame. this is my friend
Of whom I spoke to you"
John turned away from the little
group Of girls and young men toward
whom Amerton had been leading him.
The woman was different from any
thing he had imagined, from anything
he had ever seen. In the ballet q
writhing, sensuous figure with every
gesture a note In the octave Of pas
sion, here she seemed the very per-
sonification Of a negative and striking
immobility. She was slender. not 30
tall as she had seemed upon the stage,
| dressed in white from head to foot.
Her face was almost marblellke in its
pallor, her smooth, black hair was
drawn tightly over her ears, and her
eyes were Of the deepest shade of blue.
She raised her hand. as he bowed, with
gesture almost royal in Its condescen-
sion. The prince, with quiet tact,
bridged over the moment during which
John struggled in vain for something
| to say.
"Mr. Strangewey," he remarked

coIors and AirpIanes.

A curious phenomenon noted by
ayiators Is that the color of land
ing field may have an effect on an
airplane that is about to alight on it..
For example, an area which Is dark
from being plowed or burned over will
make the air above it several degrees
warmer than that over land of lighter
color, such as a stubble field, thus
causing disturbed condition of the
atmosphere, which may make landing
difficult If not dangerous.

They stood for few moments In the

to the door. She detained him for a
moment after she had taken her seat,
and leaned out Of the window. her fin-
