The house was filed with move
ment n gayety. From my point of
view, that of an Unseen little mouse,
the hustle made a bitter contrast to
the stiffness of the preceding day
when the pale Queen OF Smiles had
slept so quietly in the grand parlor.
Chris had returned from her trip
to h Lorimer home In the west. She
was excited, volcanic, as any girl
would be, L suppose, il her fance
were about to present her with a
rope of historic pearls.
Dinner was to be an elegant and
formal affair, and I was heartbroken
because 1 was still doomed to play
the shy little BUS After all l had
heard about the Riminez pearls, and
after all / had endured on account
of them, I was simply wild to see
them taken out of their wrappings.
1t seemed TO me that some marvel
ous softness ought to come over
them, ono they returned to the
hands of their rightful owner, as
Certeis claimed to be.
It certainly would have given me
vast pleasure to see the glorious glo-
bules find a fitting resting place on
Chrystobers white shoulders. What
she would do with them, when the
donor turned out to be a foreign spy
plotting revolution, was an excite
ment for the future. She ought to
! sell them 1 thought, and devote the
money to rebuilding q devastated viii
lage in France!
Thus 1 meditated in the quiet of
my own room while the Dime pro-
crossed. Certeis' gift to Miss Lori
mer might arrive at the last moment
SO Certeis had explained to Mother.
And it did. From the balcony of my
room 1 saw a messenger carry a long
thin parcel to the French window OF
the dining room, and then go away
carrying a long fiat parcel-bills--l
fancied.
And so-the pearls were at last in
Hamilton Certeis' hands!
Since 1 couldn't see him clasp them
about Chrys' neck, / RAJ lightly dowr
the stairs and out on the lawn, or
my way to my favorite nook pm the
sands. But as I hurried past thC
open dining-room windows, the talk
ing at the table was suddenly hush
ed. l paused in the outer darkness
held by the scene within.
DIR. Certeis was standing by Chrys
chair, all smiles, if not for happiness
at least for his own success.
Chrys was holding a slender whit
roll between the tips of her prett,
forefngers.

said smiling back at the elegant ant
distinguished gentleman who leaned
over her.
Nobody spoke as Certeis performed
this ceremony.
Then in an instant each person II
the room was on his feet. Voice!
mingled in a hubbubi And I wen
straight to the window and gazed or
the strange scene which was stage(
around hat dinner table!
Certeis was ~suspending before tn
~astonished eyes of his bride-to-be

and broken peasi
Chrys shrieked and covered he
eyes with her hands.

them-and blew away some dar

SaIutes

Some clever Englishman, comment
ing on French politeness, once remark
ed that when a Frenchman bows, two
thirds Of the bow is to himself. That
may be true, and we have to admit
that even the other third is quite a
fraction more than most Anglo-Saxons
offer. p
Saluting is the same proposition. A
snappy salute pulled by a buck to the
most second Of second lieutenants
draws heavy interest; and the colonel
who jerks his hand a few centimetera
from his still affixed cigar Is only In.
sultlng himself and the army.
If some privates were a little more
polite to themselves, the saluting trap
never would be sprung and the joke
would all be on the other side of the
military f~ence.-Stars and Stripes

Story Of a Dog

"Marathon races In the woods Will
never become universal for the reason
that speed and stamina like that OF
Buell. Crannell's dog are not universal
In the four-footed hunters" says War
wick S. Carpenter, secretary OF the
conservation commission. Mr.. Gran
nell lives at West Glens Falls, and
while hunting near there recently his
dog picked up a fox track. The dog
was picked up next day near Gran
berry lake, more than seventy miles
away.
Accounts do not state whether the
dog was still going strong or whether
he might have taken the fox back to
Mr.. Crannell, but simply that identif-
cation of the dog vas made by the
conservation commission license tag
and that Mr.. Crannell went after the
dog.
"The moral Of all this Is that II one
owns a dog good enough to run a fo1
through two counties she should sure
ly be protected by an identification
disk."-New York Times.
