Length of Arms and Legs.

According to many measurements
made at the ARCHAEOLOGICAL labora-
tory in London, the right arm In
human beings is in a majority Of cases
longer than the left arm, while, on
the contrary, the left leg is longer than
the right leg.
Sometimes. however, fhe relative
proportions are exactly reversed but
seldom does perfect equality exist be-
tween the two sides. The tendency
Of the right arm 20 exceed the left arm
in strength is sometimes greater In
men than in women, while& equality Of
strength in the two arms ocSprs almost
twice as frequently with women rs
with men.

He knew that these wild mountain
storms moved swiftly; his chance of
reaching the tavern ahead of the del
uge was exceedingly slim. His long,
powerful legs had carried him twenty
or thirty PAGES before he came to a
sudden halt.
What of this lone woman who trav-
ersed the highway? His first glimpse
OF her had been extremely casual
indeed, he had paid no attention to
her at all, so eager was he to read
the directions and he on his way.
She was standing quite still in front
Of the signpost, peering up the road
toward Frogg's Corne--cOnfrOnted by
steep climb that led into black and
sinister timberlandS above the narrow
strip of pasture bordering the pike.
The fierce wind pinned her skirts to
her slender body as she leaned against
the gale, gripping her hat tightly
with one hand and Straining under the
weight Of the bag in the other. The
ends of veil whipped furiously about
her head, and, even in the gathering
darkness he could see n strand or two
of hair keeping them company.
RetracinG his steps, he called out to
her above the gale:
"Can be of any assistance to you?"
She turned quickly. He saw that
the veil was drawn tightly over her
face.

On the opposite side Of the pike,

other presence in the roadway.
A woman appeared. as if from no.

back TO let her pass. She stopped be

they made out the faint directions.
