CHAPTER CXLI.

Don't you see that l can't wear that
robe?" 1 asked suddenly, with feeling
that If only could appeal to the kind
ness and consideration 1 had felt all

Cant? Can't? Won't you mean-be-
cause after all my longing to be real
friend to you you still( distrust me-
dislike me, / sometimes fear"
Tom laughed shortly, a curt, hurt,
mirthless laugh. And I was even
little more sorry for him than l had
been the moment before, and conscious,
too, in a corner of my brain that Jim
was taking an unaccountably long time
to say good night to Envy.
II haven't trusted YOU" said hon
estly. "And besides l never could see
why a married woman should need men
friends IL her marriage is-perfect. But
here in this big city friendships with men
seem taken for granted, almost forced On
women by society, and even by their
husbands. I see now that such friendship
may be broadening and fine, and hon

thing or want to take anything that be-

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory

Well, as I mentioned in the last story,
Puss Junior and his little friend. the
Mermaid Princess. found themselves in
the water. 1t was quite warm and
pleasant, and in a few minutes they
reached the surface. To their surprise,
they saw their fellow passenger. the lit
tie Star Fish, swimming near them, and
not far away. on a piece of ice, the Polar
Bear Porter
where are WEI" asked Puss Junior.
But no one replied to his question. al
though the Star Fish looked around, be-
fore and behind and both sides at once,
which, I'm sure, you can't do. no matter
how hard you may try-while with his
fifth eye he kept a bright lookout for
sharks.
Presently he replied, II think we are
in the Caribbean Sea" And if you don't
know where that is, please get out your
map of North America, although school
is over, and find it.
Il never thought we'd get here so
soon" said the little Star Fish at last.
"You see, / got on the train somewhere
off Cape Cod. And that's a long way
from here"
"And got on much farther north than
that" said the Polar Bear Porter, fan
ming himself with a large sea shell.
Gracious me, but It's dreadfully hot
down here"
This Caribbean Sea is as full of noun
tains as New Hampshire and Vermont
are, but none of them have caps of snow
like that which Mt. Washington some
times wears" said the Mermaid Princess.
Snow wouldn't last a second under this
hot sun"

IN BOARD THE r. NJ. S. MAkURA
FIJI ISLANDS-Wben the citizen
~ of another country wishes to go
ashore in American territory, even though
he be leaving again on the same ship that
brought him there, a charge Of $40 Is
made by the United States authorities
for a wise of his passport When the
r. NJ. S. Makura, on which we are travel
ing to New Zealand, reached Honolulu,
great many of the passengers decided
they would stay aboard rather than pay
this Acharge. 1t was noon before pas
sengers were permitted to 90 ashore and
the ship was scheduled to sail again at
6 p. m.
When o'clock came, however, 1t was
announced that our pilot had refused to
take the ship out through the 400-foot
channel because of the rough weather
the worst, he said, that be had seen in
the years he had been pilot there.
At the same time l noted that we con-
tinued to take on oil for several hours,
so that it is likely that the refusal Of
the pilot was not altogether responsible
for our failure to sail. The hose by
which the oil was transferred from the
reservoir on the wharf to the storage
tanks aboard the Makura has a capacity
of 500 barrels an hour. and TIE fact that
1t took US a great deal more than six
hours to put aboard 400 barrels prob
ably explains why much OF the time the
hose was half fiat.
However, the delay was welcomed by
the passengers because it gave them an
opportunity to go back ashore aud see

zeal lands The American immigration

Christmas trees. strung with electric
lights, set out I'm front lawns. Cnfortu-
nately, intermittent showers prevented
any festivities about the trees.
CROSSING THE EQUATOR
NOT PAINFUL ORDEAL.
The Makura crossed the eauator about
1 o'clock In the morning Of the 1,cond

time that | was ready TO sail for Africa

This is not always true, because the
temperature depends upon the ocean cur

Where did you learn nil this?" asked
Puss.
oh, went to the Coral School for
Girls" answered the Mermaid Princess.
And then she sighed, for size suddenly
remembered she was a long way from
home.
And just then the little Star Fish met
soft little body much smaller than
himself, who invited him to visit her
relatives, who live, by millions in this
mountain region. So off they started for
Coraltown, where this little Miss Polyp
lived.
Her father and mother, brothers and
sisters, uncles and nunts were all polvps.
They had built the coral islands by fas-
tening themselves to the tops Of the
mountains under the sea- wear after year.
and at last their soft bodies had turned
into stone And now you know how
these millions of little polyps finally
made the small islands that dotted the
surface Of the water.
Well after the Star Fish and his little
friend had swum away, Puss Junior
spied a boat drifting towards them. So
he helped the Mermaid Princess to
scramble inside, and then he and the
Polar Bear Porter h6isted a sail which
they found wrapped around a mast in
the bottom of the boat. q
Hip hurrah, we're off once more"
Shouted the Polar Bear, waving his paw,
And the Mermaid Princess laughed in
As Puss took the tilier and sailed Ger
the sea.
And the next time I'll tell you how
the wonderful Gulf Stream carried them
home again.-Copyright 1921.

FRIDAY fFB. 20.
Changeable aspects Of the stars mark
today, according to astrOlOEy. While
Jupiter and the sun are in benehc sway
Venus aud Uranus are adverse.
During this ule all the material as.

and the greed for gain will be exceed
ingly strong.
Uranus Is in an aspect that seems to
indicate the reign of madness In many
parts Of the world, this to be indicated
by continuance Of strife, riots and
fighting.
This chaos in the realm Of thought is
reflected constantly in the minds of men
and women who do not keep a positive
attitude toward all important affairs of
life.
Persons whose birthdate It is may have
rather a strenuous year, but care will
make business matters satisfactory.
Those in salarled positions should be
very diligent in performing their du-
ties.
Children born on this day may be
restless and averse to work that requires
method ond attention to detail. Girls
may be too attractive to men for their

ENGAGED COUPLES HAVE EACH
1NSURABLE INTEREST

Engaged couples have an insura-
BILE interest in the life of each other.
according to an opinion handed
down by the Court of Appeals re-
versing the Adair Circuit Court in
the case of Lily Harden against
Onie Harden.
Virgil A. Harden took out an insur-
ance policy in the Modern Brother
hood of America for $4,000 on Feb
ruary 10, 1919. At the time he was
engaged to young woman whom he
married on March IL, 1919, and the
question arose whether the wife.
Lily Harden, was entitled to all or
one-half of his personal estate, as
the proceeds from his life insurance
policy became part of his personal
estate, the law giving the wife one
half and the mother one-half.
The Lower Court held that the
proceeds of the policy should be d.
vided, but the Appellate Court de-
cided all of the proceeds go to the
wife, holding that engaged couples
have an insurable interest in the
life of each other.
