Has the popular belief in lightning
striking repeatedly in the same spot
any foundation in fact? Would there
be any danger in building a house on

cautions against, or to neutraliZe, a

ton, N. Y"
There are places where lightning is
peculiarly liable to strike owing to the
presence of some attractive material,
such as deposit of iron underground
Underground water. may serve as an
iEducement to lightning strokes and
the near neighborhood of a body of
water is generally regarded as in some
slight degree favorable to the occur
renee of lightning, although the danger
from this source Is practically negli-
gible
1t has been contended that certain
soils are more attractive than the av-
erage to lightning. In Germany, for
instance, an observer, Hellmann, has
estimated the liability of lightning
strokes occurring on different soils in
the following ratios: Chalk, 1 clay,
u; sand, o; loan, 20.
In general very dry soil is safe un-
less there are metallic lodes, or large
springs or sheets of water, at no great
depth beneath.
1t has been strongly affirmed that
certain species of trees are particularly
liable to be struck by lightning, A

David peLaine found the condition

lSOpyTlSnl, 151J, oldE SOllpihS'i
David DeLaine found the condition
of affairs we'll night unendurable.
He was too much perturbed TO re-
turn to his hotel when he had lett
Miss Bristols hospitable home. TO
go to bed and to sleep would be out
of the question. Something must
be done-but what that something
was he did not know.
1t was useless for him to try to
argue with himself, as he would
have argued with another man. He
was now independently wealthy; the
war was over; he had done his share;
his health, which had been menaced,
was almost completely restored.
Three months ago all these things
combined would have made him very
happy.
Now they seemed less than moth
ing when he reflected on Desiree's
opinion of the David DeLaine of
whom she had heard and whom she
believed she had never met. She
despised him. She would always re-
fuse to meet him.
In the excited state of his mind
he may have exaggerated facts.
Yet, even had he been more calm,
he would have been forced to admit
that the girl he loved thought him
capaDle OF agreeing 10 the terms or
his aunts will. To this evidence
against him he must add the circum-
stances that he had deliberately.

an assumed name.
When she discovered his identity
she might even think he had done
this with the secret plan of winning
her affections and thus becoming
heir to his aunt's fortune.
He clinched his hands and swore
softly to himself for a fool. He also
said violent things about Aunt
Jeanne's fortune. He wished that it
was sunk in the depths of the sea.
II would not touch the Internal
property if it meant my death not

The "her" did not refer to his
departed aunt. What she had
wished and hoped for was now as
little to her nephew as his present
worries were to her in the abode
of departed spirits.

Jim and 1 had joyous reunion on
his return from the trip North with
Uncle Ned and Pat. Chiefly because
we had so much to discuss and re-
late, we spent the first hour or so
telling each other how glad we were
TO be together again.
At our cozy little home dinner we
started to settle down to a discus
sion of all that was going on in
the background of our lives and
spreading out over the foreground
in such fashion as to make us for
get our personal concerns-or that
we could ever have any.
You're sure Pats journey
isn't to the far country from which
no mortal returns?" l asked Sc
riously as we finished our coffee
and adjourned to the living room
away from Hedwig's ministrations
and keen ears.
Sure" replied Jim, settling down
chummily with his pipe. That is,
as sure as one man can be about
another. Pat doesn't give me the
impression of being crazy. He's sad
alright-main spring sort OF
broken-but I think he's just going
off on some long trip, and when L
see how keen he is to keep young
Neal informed on every new de-
velopment in the business I'm dead
sure I'm guessing right"

right, dear" replied.

dear old love name. That's the
worst of it. That's why Pat can't
get free. Now we'll have to sit back
and let young Neal make the next
move. He's one dandy boy. The

the more I realize how darn lucky

"Of course l hate that" I beamed
disclosing some of the sacred feel

Phoebe from the world and-him-

of my luncheon with Tom and of
his revelations.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

years ago and he proposed to me. |
accepted him but gave him up a week
later as | didn't like him. A year later
he came back and asked me to go out
with him again, and I accepted him
and I learned to love him. After had
gone with him two months he con-
fessed to me he came back to get
revenge on me. that is. to make me
love him and then leave me. But he
he couldn't do it, as his love for me
was too strong. Now he is in the army
about ten months and he has accused
me of things / didn't do. l gave up all
my friends and pleasure, but that
didn't help any. I feel he is going to
be very mean to me after we are mar
ried. All my friends and relatives
want me to give him up, but 1 love
him and don't know what to do.

You're a working person. You used

OF course Melora thought it delicious
that the scrub lady, as she called Greta
to herself, considered Carrie an aristo-
crat and herself a toiler working
person" She thought it would make
a fine story to tell when she got back
to town.
But somehow she has decided against
amusing studio parties with it, and she
has found that she can double the
amount she sends home to Carrie each
week.
And now Carrie has Greta in thrice
weekly to help and the town seamstress
makes the dresses she was wont labor
iously to construct.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. IL
Great Salt Lake is saltier now than
at any time since 1909, but . good
rain will freshen it again, according
to J. Cecil Alter, government met
eorologist.
THE level of the LAKE is now lower
than it has been since January Is,
1862" said Alter today. "The absolute
amount of salt in the lake probably
does not vary appreciably, and has
not varied since it was first seen by
white men, but since the amount OF
water varies with evaporation and
precipitation, the relative salinity in
creases as the level fails"
Alter said the low stage of the lake
usually occurs in January when the
feeder streams are frozen al their
source, and that the high stage
usually occurs in June, shortly after
the season OF heaviest precipitation,
and after the period of rapidly melt
ing snow.
