And which Is the more immoral--since

-

Back In Conward's Office, while the

possessed of a consuming desire to
consult with Dave Eden. She was
uneasy about this transaction in which
her mother proposed so precipitately
to invest the greater part of their lit

house we will have only a few thou

"My health was never better" Mrs.

Irene Murmured, Rather Weakly.

an advance of ten thousand dollars on
this place before fall"
"There must be an end somewhere"
Irene murmured, rather weakly.
But her mother was writing a check.
II shall give you five thousand dollars
now" she said, "and the balance when
you give me the deed, or whatever it
is. That is the proper way, isn't it?'
"Well, it's done" said Irene with an
uneasy laugh which her excitement
pitched a little higher than she had
intended.
In an adjoining room Dave Eden
heard that laugh, and it stirred some
remembrance in him. Instantly he
connected it with Irene Hardy. The
truth was Irene Hardy had been In
the background OF his mind during
every waking hour since Bert Nor
rison had dropped her bombshell upon
him. And now that voice
Dave had no plan. He simply
walked into Conward's Office. His eye
took in the little group and the mind
behind caught something of its por-
tent. Irene's beautyl What a quick
ening of the pulses was his as he saw
in this splendid woman the girl who
had stirred and returned his youthful
passion But Dave had poise. He
walked straight to Irene.

quiet tones that gave no hint of the
emotion beneath. II am very glad to

more than firm and warm, but it set

was as we'll controlled as his had been.
Mrs. Hardy looked on the clean-built
young man with the dark eyes and the
brown, smooth face, but the name sug-
gested nothing. "You remember"
Irene went on, ~ told you of Mr.. Ell

But / thought he was a COW punch

"Times change quickly in the West,

mother had implied contempt he had
set up a note of pride.
"Oh, suppose" said her mother,
for lack of a better answer. Every
thing is so absurd in the West. But
you were good to my daughter, and to
poor, dear Andrew. If only he had
been spared. Women are so unused TO
these business responsibilities, Mr..
Coward. II is fortunate there are a

explained to Dave. "We thought this

on Elden's face caused her to pause.

Animals With Third Eyeiid.

Sir John Bland-Sutton, senior sur
geon of, Middlesex Hospital Medical
school in London, Is authority for the
statement that all animals, except men
and monkeys, possess a third eyelid.
Many people have noticed how birds.
notably the turkey, operates this third
lid by means Of special muscles. The
turkey is constantly winking without
knowing that it does so. The third lid
in this case is an Opaque white cur
tain, bat in certain birds and animals.
and in some fishes, the third lid is a
transparent covering. The lizard of
trans Caspian deserts uses its trans
parent lid rs protection against sand,
while the, American fish known as the.
star-gazer uses it effectively for watch
ing its prey. II is interesting to note
that the prey is secured through the.
