HOROSCOPE.
SUNDAY. FEBRUARY s, 1920.

On this day it is wise to pursue
routine lines of thought as-well as
action. According to astrology,
Neptune and Mercury are in benefic
aspect, while Mars and Venus are
adverse.
Under this rule they who mold
public opinion should be fortunate.
1t is a promising planetary govern
ment for ministers.
Minds are supposed to be recep-
tive and responsive, while Neptune
is in friendly place, and during this
aspect writers as well as speakers
would benefit.
Newspapers and magazines will
profit under this days guidance of
the stars. New periodicals will be
esta blished.
Editors and publishers have the
best sort of representation for the
year. which will bring to the front
many new writers.
Again the stars seem to have IA
sinister forecast that threatens the
fortunes of soldiers. Disappoint-
ment is repeatedly read in the
heavens.
This is not a lucky day for love
affairs, even though it encourages
romance. The evening seems to
have the portent of Quarrels and
Misunderstanding.
Strange and extraordinary crimes,
predicted long ago. will continue to
be frequent. owing to morbid men,
tai onditions that are a reflex of
the war. astrologers predict. The
planetary influences that made pos
sible the world conflict have not all
passed away.
Changes in domestic customs will
be more marked this year than ever
before, owing to the introduction of
many cooperative ideas. One of
these will provide for the care OF
children Of well-to-do families on a
wholesale plan.
Increase in beauty among Ameri-
cans, which astrologers declare has
been marked during the, last twenty
years. will be great in the coming
decade.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
have the augury of more or less
stress and strain. Business affairs
may be very eXacting.
Children born on this day may be
clever, intelligent and amusing. but
rather rash and careless. They
should be trained to caution in their
dealings with persons of opposite
sex.

This was a cool breeze from the far
upper end of the ravine. The path

time to note, stupidity. that though
his feet were bleeding. they were
insensible as boots. He guessed
that the mounted figure might be a
sentinel. The sequence of what fol-
lowed was never afterward clear to
Con.
Closer. he saw the glitter upon a
long gray cloak. The sentinel had
no weapon, and gave no sign other
than to watch with curiosity the
two jaded wanderers. The pony was
well groomed and restive, Arabian
in build. From beyond the crest of
the road volley of shouts came
down into the ravine. and the swift
beat of hoofs. All these on-coming
riders were as yet invisible, but the
cries were resonant with hate.

RI. c. OF l. has introduced a large
amount OF cotton into our woolen 90

worn over light clothes, and be re-

cay of modern heating systems il is
usually possible to wear thin clothes
in the house and put on warmer gar
ments upon going out of doors.
The rate az which clothing conducts
heat depends on the amount OF air
within its meshes. When wool fibers
are made into yarn. their stiffness and
elasticity keer them apart. so wooden
garments contain much air which is a
poor conductor OF heat and conse-

body has already made.
The aged and sick may wear wool

son leading the usual semi-sedentary
life should use cotton, and protect
themselves against cold by the careful
selection of outer coverings.

starting across the valley toward
the opposite barrier of sand.
The little men who had come out
of the hill began to disappear. Their
bare bodies were like rough mug
gets of copper. Levington's eyes
twitched. and he brushed a hand
across his face. He wanted to
laugh and fins himself down hill.
He would ask them for water. For
an instant he hated Andrew March
for being afraid. and an instant
later realized that this feeling was
merely his own deep-stirring fear.
He swallowed thickly. A tear stood
in one eye. making humorous the
pain in his heart

March did not see the tear. He
had grown pale beneath the CRIME.

go on and hunt for 1t, because it
must grow natural somewhere
around here. Shall we follow that
dromedary?"
The little men had gone in. Dust
rose like smoke from the open
shaft. The laden beast was etching
his way across, the valley. March
had reused from his apathy. He
looked at Con, who asked:
Can you make it-down hill?"
Boy" said March steadily,

Commanding their scant energies.
the white men made q final play
for life. and walked along the crest
of the ridge. to keep the animal in
view without exposing themselves.
The afternoon was waning. The
wind slackened. The valley be-
meath them was painted with soft
purple shadow. The hunched little
human and the dromedary turned
into a cleft in the great bank. and
disappeared.
There must be something to
drink where he is going" said Con.
Yes, because the dromedary is
natural, at least"
You might wait here" contin-
ued Lexington. "and I'll run on to
make sure"

They descended to the valley, and,
crossing, entered the ravine. Con
was light-headed now. He had no
further thought of avoiding discov-
cry. by no matter what enemy. In

Ing, his grandson, the last genuine
Roman emperor and also by q
niece called Justa Grata Honoria,
who dishonored all three of her
honorable names. But some lin
gering allegiance to the last rulers
Of the empire ,perpetuated their
names and finally we have Hon.
orine. u Neustrian maiden slain in
q Danish invasion and regarded as
martyr.
For that reason, Honorine Is ex-
ceedingly popular in France and
Germany. 1t penetrated England
also, and in ireland became a great
favorite as Onora, Honor or Norah.
Two Gallic bishops named Honora-
tus are said to be responsible for
the derivation of the popular
French Honore. Another elabora-
tion In vogue is Honoria.

Germany. still one Of the largest
