no doubt that we make too much
of them. and that we encourage
parasitism In our families.
All OF us have relatives who,

the cost Of nothing and indulge
themselves in the widest extrsva-

tensifyinS the picture OF agitation
he presented.
Sensing something out of place in
that picture. Harvey Hunt quietly
drew aside and concentrated his at.
tention on him as he detailed to his
employer and Robert Hunt what
had happened.
He had thought he heard a noise
he said. just after he started to un-
dress, and had gone downstairs to
investigate. AS he came down the
last few steps the muffled explosion
had taken place, and he had rushed
into the library and encountered the
burglar. In the fight that followed
he said he had knocked the burglar
down, but the latter had pulled a
gun on him and in self-defense he
had seized the heavy letter press
and hurled it at the mans head.
Then he had shouted.
As he finished his recital Har.
vey Hunt realized what it was about
the fellow that had seemed out OF
place. His agitation, Hunt thought
partook more of the nature of a
satisned anger or revenge, whereas

monotonous gray which Edith SEEM
ed so unhappily to affect. Nancy
caught a glimpse of a coloriess bed
chamber beyond. and another door
opened upon her private bath. as
large as the living room Of most
New York apartments. Through
partly opened easements. facing the
lake, she could hear the monoton-
Gus murmur of the moon-silvered
waters.
A sense of utter desolstion swept
over her. oblierating her habitual
gayety. She felt a stranger in an
alien world. There arose in her
curious fear; fear of the doctor
with that cruel little gleam in his
heavy-lidded eyes: almost fear of
white silent Edith, SO different from
the girl she had known.
A longing for Gerry-for the
strength and tenderness of his
arms. for the feel of his broad
shoulder under her head, for. hrs
quiet steady eyes-engulfed her.
and going to the window, she rest
ed her head against the easement
and stared out over the undulating
waters of the lake.
Even now the Pacific was stretch
ing fWther and farther between
them. Each blue, rolling wave
drove them further apart.
She was adrift! Gerry, her an
chor. had been swept away!
What would be her fate, she
wondered. as she leaned there star
ing over the silvered waters, hear
ing dimly the wash of the waves on
the sanded shore.
Alone. adrift, without, an anchor.
would she be carried to some safe
harbor. there to wait until her ship
put in? Or was she drifting toward
the shoals?
Edith came to summon her TO
supper.
Frederick will be very annoyed
II we keep him waiting longer"
she said reproachfully.
The eyes Nancy turned to her
were still beset by visions.
Does IL matter very much?'
Edith stared at her curiously
Not to you. perhaps. but remem-
Der. / am his wife"
Nancy brought herself back TO
earth with a laugh.
Does that mean fear or devo-
/ tion?'
She spared Edith the necessity of
answering by slipping. an arm
around her waist and moving to-
ward the door.
The Sovereign will be done.

thwart the great Frederick Barton

The neighborhood had been arous-

held the attention of all was the
figure sprawled on the floor. The
body was that of a man. 1t was

face up. But the face had been
crushed beyond all recognition by

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY ~, 1921.
This may be a day of sinister i'm
pulses and uncertain actions, ac-
cording to astrology. The Sun,
Venus. Uranus and Saturn are all in
malefic aspect.
Care should be exercised to avoid
all important decisions and initia-
tive in any line of work will be un-
lucky.
Uranus today is in an aspect that
makes 1t easy for the best inten-
tions to be misunderstood and dis
torted.
Under this direction of the stars
personal aspirations and national
ideals may come into conflict. Men
may count self aggrandizement
more important than public service.
This tendency will be apparent es-
pecially in the west.
Increase of crimes that require
intelligence In executing them is
foreshadowed. Banks will suffer.
Women of education may be in
clined toward dishonesty in posi-
tions of trust.
The stars have forctold that many
new temptations will beset women
and theyp<shopld be Qp their guard
as never before.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may

IN THE case of The DENIAL" the
L very point that lulled the sus-
picions of the customs collector was
the one that aroused the suspicious
OF Harvey Hunt. eIs
Why should Banborg have so
strenuously- denied any implication
in smuggling-denied it with such
widespread publicity = especially,
when no definite charges had been
made against him.
Harvey Hunt realized that one
way to make people believe a thing
is Vociferously to deny it. But why
should Banborg want people to
think he was a smuggler? Cettainly
he wouldn't il he really was. There
fore, Hunt argued, he had some
other nefarious purpose.
II all became clear upon the men,

tonaires. source and a market for
gems. stolen gems. BY playing his
game in a wide field he could keep
gems circulating indefinitely. Mill
ionaires who would not knowingly
buy stolen goods would have no
such quslms of conscience IL they
thought they were merely buying
smuggled jewels. Banborg would
have their confidence as regards
their jewelry, and could tip on his
burglar friends as to where they
might obtain the best hauls.

saxanes Use iron Orc.

Explorers have been astonished to
find in the wilds of Africa savages
acquainted with the getting OF iron
from the ore and working it. To
smelt the ore they use a primitive
furnace of baked mud, with charcoal
for fuel and bellows to obtain the re-
CURED temperature. 1t seems alto
gether likely that the knowledge of
these processes was originally derived
in prehistoric days from the Arabs
and PhOenicians, who then, as in
later times. Overran most of Africa.
