 Overhearing one evening his explo- siye views of jazz. the audacious beau ty suggested the forbidden dancing !; even enticing one of the girls to help her "pay Paul Brent for his denounc- ing their sex"
 It was remarkably singular that af- ter every escapade Betty's emotions changed at bed time to fearful con dition, more especially after a re- proach from Bob.
 One glorious day when the soft fOli- age of the trees barely moved. Betty rowed up the river to secluded spot where she hid in the thick of the woods. She longed to be alone with her strange, disturbing thoughts-un- utterably wild thoughts.
 Sounding clear on the breezcless air a musical voice reached her ears, a voice repeating poetry-his voice, Paul Brent's! Her enemyl Oh. no-never that.
 The girls face went scarlet. In her eagerness to punish and annoy, she had become entangled in the tolls.

 Real selves? What do you mean, MT. Brent?" she queried, majestically
 "Why, end this farce. It's cruel of me. Forgive me, dear girl"

With them sat Vest. once a senator in the Confede- rate congress; Reagan. postmaster general of the Confederacy, and Vance. the war governor of North Carolina. The senate in that period felt and used its power more conscientiously than it does today. And it's average in quality was higher, for the North, too, was represented by group of leaders equally competent and distinguished.-- New York Tribune.

Ancient and Exhilarating Sport

Enthusiastic Devotees Are Railing lt as King of Winter sports--Hss
 Long Figured in History a and Legend.

A thousand years ago. or there abouts. some thoughtful Norseman found that long, thin strips of wood fastened to his war-boots enabled him to get over the snow-clad plains and mountains of hls native land easily and with great speed. Before long all the hardy Norsemen were going around to fight or to wassail on these useful aids to winter travel, which became known as ski, pronounced by the Norsemen as if spelled she. So popular did skiing become that, ac- cording to Morse mythology, even one of the ancient viking gods went in for 1t. Olaf Trygvasson, best loved and most celebrated of the old Norwegian hero kings, Is said to have been an expert skier. Another king, one of the early Haakons, escaped from pursuers with designs on his life, by travelling five hundred miles on ski, over one of the most rugged sections of Nor way. Morse soldiers were equipped with skis and at the important bat tie of Stiklestad ski regiments played an important part. In later times, during a. war on Norway conducted

HER CHIEF AIM
By JOSEPHINE S. BROOKS.

co. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicats)
 Betty Cloyton settled down deeper into her seat on the train, and listen ed with all her little, shapely ears to the animated flow of talk between the two men in front of her. One of them proved to be her old friend, Bob Critely, the other, chief offender to Betty's ears, was unknown to her.
 Suddenly at the strangers words {: "I tell you, Bob, all girls are alike, fiippant, frivolous, yes-and sense less. want nothing to do with them" /" Betty emitted a "h'mr' of scorn.
 At Betty's exclamation Bob turned his head, and. staring astonishingly. would have spoken, but for an up- raised finger of warning.
 Chuckling, Betty produced pencil and tearing leaf from her diary, wrote rapidly. Then, after several coughings and maneuvers to attract the attention of the puzzled Bob, she motioned to the aisle. She slipped softly along, and under pretense of rescuing her handkerchief, she press ed the note into Bob's lowered hand.
 Bob, taking the advantage of his friends sudden interest in the out door view, read:
 'If this-this man CD of yours is to make one of our week end party at Metals, just nod your head and put me in. the. seventh. heaven ofs bliss.

"Oh, yes, deeply, by scorning every girls presence, and denouncing them,'' ? sarcastically retorted Betty. Then she added. My chief aim was to-
 Betty, dear, your aim was true, for you hit me-" beamed the irrepres- sible Paul.
 Down Topped Betty on the grass, disgusted and speechless
 You're such catch; why shouldn't IF" she snapped.
 "Why not, indeed-it's not so hard" he goaded.
 And you thought l-l would do-- that! It's right the opposiie-I hate you, you iceberg rhere!" Betty's eyes filled with misty indignation
 Don't mind my foolish jests.-Tll confess saw it all from the first the note to Bob, your intentions, all {; and 1 vowed to-"
 ITO what?" half screamed the girl.
 "To win youl"
 And have you?" Betty sneered

 And that deceitful little minx didn't even try to struggle out of those fond arms

Rest assured he'll get paid for de- nouncing us girls. Above all things, don't recognize me-"
 q In one second Bob's head went a. bobbing 'yes." At which Betty set tied back with blissful sigh.
 When nearing Joyville, Meta's sum- mer home, Betty started for the door. Then she, audaciously innocent, re- mained there facing the aisle.
 It was no avail, the stranger gave not one fieeting glance, which slight to her charms peeved the fair girl.
 Not so Bob, who gave sigh of re- lief that he need fear no rival in his friend.
 It was later that evening when Betty met the stranger, who gave no sign that he had ever seen the girl, lovely vision though she was, at the tea table He grew absorbed in his partner of the hour.
 When Betty Cloyton once made up her mind to accomplish thing, 1t was sure to come to pass. Therefore, every day she played some prank.
 If she slyly overheard Paul Brent bewailing girls nonsensical, indecent fashions, Betty appeared in an ex- tremely abbreviated skirt, and in the most diaphanous qualify of waists. In such garb she would wayIay the enemy of her sex, and begin flirting outrage ously, talking. frivolously and inter- snprsr- her words with bits. of slang.

 To break the corner, MT. Smith said a substitute for wood pulp must be- fourd. He urged a congressional ap- propriation of $250,000 to be used in experimenting with substitutes and asked that it be placed in the hands of ''persons who cannot be reached by the paper manu's c,nrers."
