CHAPTER III

The next morning Wimburn woke
from dreams of bliss to the realization
that his hotel bill would require all Of
his funds except enough for the por-
ter's tip and few odd dollars.
He could not buy Daphne an engage
ment ring with few odd dollars, and
he was afraid to leave her without the
brand Of possession on her finger.
But how was he to come at the nee
essary sum? He could not decently
ask the firm he was dealing with to
lend him money. He might have asked
it to cash check on his bank, but
his account was at the irreducible min
imum.
After an hour or two of meditation

A heating apparatus powerful
enough to force heat through a pile of
sandbags II feet thick and to dry
without scorching the wall behind is
needed to preserve one of the worlds
masterpieces, "The Last Supper" of
Leonardo da Vinci, which is painted
on the wall of the Church of Santa
Maria dele Grazie at Milan, Italy.
The dampness which accumulates in
the sand necessary as a protection
from air raids is fast fading the colors
of the picture, already damaged by
time. The restoration necessary for
Leonardo's picture is unsuited to the
frescoes of Luini and other masters
painted on the same wall How to
give each set of masterpieces the
treatment required is the problem. So
far the experts of the Italian ministry
of the arts have been unable to find
a solution.

He loitered in front of several win

tiny gem that he thought might feebly

Shot Hypodernic Syringe.

Twenty Shot Hypodermic Syringe.
Among the war inventions that
will prove valuable in peace time is a
magazine hypodermic syringe that may
be used twenty times without refilling.
Chvtously its chief merit is that of
convenience when physicians and sur
geons are working under fire and in
dark dugouts where continual recharg-
ing of syringes entails difficulty and
retards operations. The Instrument is
supplied with platinum needle which
permits sterilization in flame. The
cap that protects it, when not in use,
is kept filed with iodine or alcohol.
When large numbers of persons are
being inoculated with typhoid serum,
for instance, an instrument such as
the magazine syringe evidently saves
much time.

He who has fortune in love and

process of acquiring them they be-
come part of him inseparably. He
who has them wears his commenda-

She dropped her chin on her breast
and sighed.

The miraculous felicity of this situa-
ton overwhelmed them both. He clipt
her in his arms and she flung hers
about him, forgetting entirely the
steering wheel. The neglected little
car promptly scattered off the road,
crossed gutter into vacant lot,
scooped up<a "For Sale" sign, and was
about to tip over into an excavation
when Daphne looked up long enough
to shut off the power. Then in a blind
rapture she returned to where she be-
longed-his embrace.
Soon she was assailed with fears for
the credibility Of this wonder work,
and when he said:
When shall we announce our en-
gagement?" she protested:
''Oh, not till we are sure"
I'm sure now"
But we must be terribly sure. It's

When they reached her home it was
late and his hotel was so far that,
since he would be spending his last
evening with her, anyway, she asked
him to stay to dinner.
She broke that news to her parents,
and it caused them acute distress. Her
father and her mother were deep in
the battle that always broke out be-
tween them when the monthly bills ar
rived. Daphne was so used to this
that she hardly noticed it.
After dinner the parents retired to
the living room to read and sew and
humble over their mutual grievances.

Daphne blushed for her mothers
query, but was glad to overhear the
strangers answer:
81 am Mr.. Wimburn, Mrs. Kip-Clay
Wimburn."
At this moment a tall, shambling
man walked in. He looked as if he
looked older than he was. His spec
tacles overwhelmed rather unsuc-
cessful nose. Daphne hardly needed
to introduce him as her father. She
gave Wimburn name now, and he
felt called upon to explain his ince~'-
sion.

Mills Have Difficulty in
Supply; Offer High

New York. March THE United
States food administration grain corpor-
alton announced, tonight. that March ID
it will begin the sale of its surplus wheat
holdings in American milling eentaFs,
in an effort to prevent an increase IN
flour prices.
Julius II. Barnes. president of the
corporation. said the depa rtment of agri-
culture report today. indicated that
'.the crop of 1918 will provide no more
than sufficient to meet our home needs
and the foreign requirements falling up
on u.s." and added that. already mills
were experiencing such difficulty in OBJ
tanning wheat for milling that they were
offering as high as 10 to IL cents a
bushel above the governments guaran-
teed price.
During 1917 1918. Barnes pointed ont,
the price of flour was stabilized by
agreement of millers with the food adj
ministration, but this agreement no
longer is in force. and only government
sale of an adequate supply of wheat
to the millers will prevent an increase
in flour prices. he said. This. he added,
was in contradiction of "the general be-
lief that only purchase by the govern
ment of wheat at the guaranteed price
maintained the price level"
