Barnes again visits Green
Fancy and meets with a
very different reception,
which is, however, quite as
mystifying.
(To BE coNTINUED9


A student of physical science says
that il is not because the moth is
light-hearted. needless and utterly
frivolous that it plunges headlong into
the flames. but because Of the way
that its body is constructed. There
are two symmetrical points, exactly
alike chemically, on the moths body
namely, its eyes. If the rays of light
modify the chemical condition of one
side more than the other. then the
moths power of movement is affected.
There is a stronger muscular tension
on one side than on the other If,
however, one of the eyes is removed,
the chemical symmetry is destroyed.
and instead of plunging into the flame
it moves about in the circle. There
are other animals and insects besides
the moth which are hopelessly in the
grip of light. If snail is placed be-
tween white wall and black wall
the unequal lighting forces it TO crawl
in a circle.

Jones had made his way to the tele-
phone behind the desk and had called
a number in loud. brisk voice, but
the subsequent conversation was car

haste and occasional furtive glances

Mr. Rushcroft was giving Hamlet's
address to the players, in the tap
room when Barnes came downstairs
at nine o'clock.
A small dark man who sat alone at
table in the corner caught Barnes
eye and smiled almost mournfulIy.
He was undoubtedly stranger; his
action was meant TO convey to Barnes
the Information that he too was from
distant and sophisticated community
and that bond of sympathy existed
Rbetween them.
Putnam Jones spoke suddenly at
Barnes shoulder He started invol-
unfairly. The man was beginning TO
get on his nerves. He seemed to be

persistency.

sauntering off to the right, her fair

With the spasmodic tinkling of the
telephone bell the book agent arose
and made his way to the little Office.
Barnes glanced over his shoulder
the register The poise of his sleek
head, however. suggested a listening
attitude. Putnam Jones, not four feet
away. was speaking into the telephone

stored to its hook Barnes turned
again. Jones and the book agent were
examining the register, their heads
almost meeting from opposite sides of
the desk.
