the warm night air like music.
In the two weeks since the day at
the old house they had not CHANGED to
be often alone, and tonight, for the
first time, Cherry admitted that she
could fight no longer. They talked as
lovers, his arm about the soft little
clinging figure, her small, firm fingers
tight in his own. He had squared

caused it. Cherry would press a hot
cheek to hers, smile with eyes full of
pain, and fiutter away. She was well,
she was quite all right, only she-she
was afraid Martin would summon her
soon-and she didn't want to go to

Suspecting something gravely amiss.
Alix tried to win her confidence re-

and with a sort of affectionate and
apologize Impotence, Cherry refused
to discuss him.

said, breathing hard, and with the air
of being more absorbed in what she

says scientific researches have

was located on the bank Of the
Ohio river. Quite large number

Tammany politicians all belong to
the same family which got its
start somewhere around Cincin-

For many years people have
shad diverse opinions as to the To-
cation of the original paradise.
They have discovered it IN Asia,
South America, Guam and lee
land. Every man who has house

Science now tells rs that the
sGarden Of Eden, which flourished

North Pole. It has been proved
that the point known as the North
Pole moves entirely around the
world every 5000 years. AT the
