leased her. She stepped back, shaken
with love and fright, looking fearfully
up and down the street.

It wasn't him that broke with me. And
I've got other things to do-things
can't tell you about, Mario-things I've
got to tend to before / can marry you.
But you can trust me: I've promised,
and will. as soon as ever 1 can :"
Her voice quavered, and she thrust
out her hands, Tending off his arms.
"Please don't kiss me again, please let
me go now. If anybody saw US and
told Red :"
He made a sign of submission. "As
you will, so be it, Leonora. will see
you again-when?"
Tomorrow. I'll give you a ring
about noon and fix to meet you-up-

got to run. Goodnight dear"
He uttered in resignation: Good
night" With a Pickering smile of
fondness she turned and left him, her
slight young figure fitting swiftly
through the shadows Beneath the
lamp at the far street corner. she
turned. looked back, saw him motion
less where she had left him, surmised
his look of longing and, waving a
hand, ran on, wild Joy in her heart
contending with cold fear.
For now she had done it. and
there'd be the devil to pay. But it
couldn't be helped. Though hell and
heaven were leagued against them,
she would go through. She always did,
once she got started. And with Mario,
she knew, 1t was as with her; he too
would go through, now he knew she
loved him, though Red and all the
world besides should try to stop him
At length, well out of her course,
she stopped, imposed conference upon
her thoughts, got her bearings, and
started on anew, in a cooling mood
constraining herself to forget Mario
and concentrate upon the business that
waited for her at her destination.
But the Self outside herself, OF
whose constant company she was
wholly ignorant, never ceased to yearn
back toward that gallant, lonely figure
they two had left behind in the quiet
by-street.

PROFIT IN COMING MONEY.

The government does not profit at
all when gold money is lost. because
it has an intrinsic value that is yirtu-
ally the same as its face valne. The
profit on lost silver money depends on
the cost to the government of the sil-
yer that goes into the dollar. When
silver is above S1.20 an ounce there
is no profit. When it goes below g
dollar the profit is considerable. Or
lost nickels and one-cent pieces the
percentage profit is large.

Moving Wheat in the soudan.

One of the most novel craft encoun-
tered on the Nile is the grain boat. 1t
is fashioned of willows and grass, and
is propelled by two men, who sit. in
the stern and WELD a pair of oars or
paddles. Occasionally sail is hoisted.
These boats are capable of carrying
three to four hundredweights of ce-
reals, and are the chief means by
which the wheat is carried from Khar-
tnum to Omdurman.

EXPLAINING THE CHANGE.

Little Betsy, her mother, and new
daddy returned to the city after living
on a ranch for several months. The
child went to visit the Sunday school
she had attended before she went
away. The teacher was much surprised
to see her and exclaimed, 'Well, if here
isn't Betsy McCann!" With a very in
dignant gesture the child replied: mo,
this isn't Betsy McCann-it's Betsy
Bryant; my mamma and got married
again."

It is IN this church that each ca
tholicos or head of the Gregorian reli-
gion, is consecrated after election.
When cathelicos dies, a worldwide
vote among Armenians is taken, and it
is sometimes a year before the ballots
arrive from the seven seas. The new
head is usually one who has been
closely associated with the deceased.

had come Germanic thought, with its

WITCHES FEARED IN OHIO
Early Settlers Had Strong Belief In
Their Power to Work Harm
In the Community.

Belief In witchcraft was not I'M
common among the early white set
tiers in Ohio, and domestic animals
which We're claimed TO have been taken
possession of by witches were some
times burned alive in order to bring
an end to the evil practice of witches
1t was held that witches could not
be eXterlninated in any other way.
Howe's Ohio history records a
story of this kind. said to be on
the records of the common pleas
court OF Lawrence county. The story
was brought out in the trial of a
claim for imposition in a. horse sale
in 1923. The purchaser claimed that
he had been cheated, that the horse,
instead of being sound, was sick when
sold to him, and died soon afterward
The defendant who had sold the
horse claimed that the animal was
not sick, but was bewitched, and in
support OF his contention told of a
cow in the same neighborhood that
had been bewitched. The owner of
the COW was convinced of the fact,
and to make sure that the witch
would not take possession of other
animals in the neghborhOod, had
tied the COW to tree and with the
assistance of neighbors, burned her
there alive, much to the relief of
settlers in the vicinity, who seem GER
erally to have been believers in witch
craft.
