CHAPTER XXXVI.
1913. Star Company.


NEsIREE LEIGHTON had
planned TO drive downtown
after an early luncheon on a
Thursday early in November.
Among other things she intended
to 90 20 an employment agency to
secure a maid to take the place
Norah was to leave empty tomor-
row. She also meant to leave her
pendant and chain at a jewelers..
So, as soon as she had eaten her
luncheon, she glanced from the
front door to see if Smith had
brought the car. The chauffeur was
fast drawing UP at the curb.
sI will be right OUT" she called.
Then she started upstairs. Halfway
11b she paused, conscious of a sound
that had, unnoticed by herself, been
gaining in strength. 1t was noise
Of whistles.
sWhat can be the, natter" she
mused aloud.
Turning, she ran back to the lower
hail where the telephone was. Had
there been some terrible catas-
ttophe.
She had to wait several minutes
bsfore she could get central. When
at last she succeeded, the informa-
ton she received made her gasp
aloud
bfOh-oh!'' she repeated softly.
'sAt last-at last it's Overt"
The strong necessity of telling
the wonderful tidings to somebody
drove her to the front door. Here
she saw, Smith hurrying up the
walk.
sFSmith," she exclaimed. do you
know what all the noise means?"
II was wondering, miss. That
was why I started to come in to
md out"
.z''It means" she painted. "that the
war IS over. The armistice is
signed"
Every vestige Of color left the
mans face. With a swift motion he
uncovered hiS head.

morning wind blowing up the plains
below. Should the hunters be lucky
it is not long before the dogs find
the bear. The dogs are slipped and
disappear in the ~semi-darkness.
Soon their roaring and growing in
dictate that they have found the
game. The hunters run up to the
spot where the bear is fighting with
the dogs. The men with the lined
poles poke the bear in the ribs and
adroitly twist the ends of its long
hair. thus holding it fast on each
flank. The spearmen complete the
operation by repeated spear thrusts.

lEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAh MISS FAIRFAX.
Il am eighteen and. have many
fr1ends- There is only one young man
love, and he has been in the service
Ter some time. Shortly after I met
HIM, he was called away for duty in
France, and promised him would go
about with no other young man in his
absence
n received mail from him during the
var, and when he came back got two
letters saying he wanted TO see me-
Before answered he had moved, and
my letter was retuTned. Do you think
IL would be wrong IL I were to 20
about with other young men until I
hear from him? There is no way ] can
get his address. DOTTY
II would seem that you have full
hlled all the conditions of your
promise, my dear Dotty, and
really do not think il would be
very wicked. for you to go out with
young men friends until you hear
from this soldier boy.

A Too-Friendly Girl

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have known a girl for the past
var and am very much in love with
her. In the office where she works
she permits several, or ] might say all,
OF the young men 10 put their arms
around her. Now. as I have been an
eye-Witness Of this. I would like TO
know IL you think il is proper? She
claims that she means nothing by IL
ana that any girl would do the same
thing, but l think IL is not proper by
any means II. H. B.
i agree with you that the young
lsdy's behavior is most Undignified
and improper. Perhaps you can
persuade her to reform. l hope so,

Novel Bear Hunting.

Among the sports of India is the
capturing of bears, and to this end
curious means are sometimes de-
vised. For example, four or FIVE
sturdy men are armed, two with
long spears cross-barred on the
handles close to the sharp two
edged blade, and two or three with
ten-foot bamboos, of which the ends
are smeared with birdlime. These
hunters sally forth with dogs be-
fore dawn. They pass along the
base of the hills with the fresh
