Vincent lifted his hat SO graciously
to me, and saw the yamp ask him
who Was-and then they went out
Of sight.
Il met several girls. and how they
laughed, especially that Lulu Stanton,
who has tried repeatedly to cut me
out with Vincent. hadn't been home
ten minutes when happened to look
out Of the window and see Vincent
sail pastwith his vampire! How /
hate that woman! could scrape all
the paint OF her face II had her
here"
Arabella, who had been looking out
the window, suddenly exclaimed,
"Good gracious, Grace. You're going
to have the chance. Vincent just droye
up and he's bringing his vampire In
here" s5l
arhe wretchl' breathed Grace. Il
mustn't be seen. I've changed my
mind about that paint-scratching job.
What'n sdo?'' l stsss.''sss .-s 5ts3.
Get into the kitchen" Arabella di-
rected, as the doorbell rang.
Grace did as suggested and Arabella
answered the door.
Miss Grant, let me present Nine.
y" said Vincent, and Arabella es-
corted them to chairs. Several mo-
ments Of embarrassment were broken
by a loud laugh from the yamp and
Vincent.
"Oh, Arabella!" cried. the vamp,
don't you remember little cousin
Paul?'
Arabella scrutinized the madame's
features, and slowly a smile spread
over her face, and she broke out laugh
ing, too, and allowed the vampire to
greet her with cousins kiss.
A sound Of scratching from the
kitchen attracted the attention Of Ara
bella. She looked startled for a mo-
ment, then smiled on Vincent and told
him:
You're wanted in the kitchen,
young man"
Although puzzled by the remark,
Vincent opened the kitchen door and
strode in. Grace was standing in the
center Of the floor, looking very meek.
Vincent" she pleaded, Tets can
Gel our arrangement and bez:to each
other Just as we used to be-"
A light Of understanding dawned
on Vincent. ,
%That suits me. It was your idea
in the first place, you know. And Tn
ready-to kiss and make up, if you
are"
She nodded her head vigorously.

MYSTERIOUS BODY OF WATER
Around What Is Known as Won
der Lake, in Alaska.

II think the next thing I wanted to
speak Of was Wonder lake." says III.
b. Lumpkin, writing of "a Hike in
Alaska" in Boys Life. 1T is not such
tremendous sheet of water. Not
nearly SO large as many other Alaskan
lakes, being some three miles long by
half mile wide. 1t lies in sort of
depression, it's surface about three or
four hundred feet above the level of
Moose creek, Its bed was evidently
scooped out by glacial action some
where back in those dim ages they tell
us about. You can see, even now, the
evidences Of the glacial moraines.
Some plow, those glaciers!
"Now, here are the things they tell
Of that lake. One, that it has fish SO
large that specimen that a man
hooked pulled him out Of the boat into
the lake. If that isn't good fish
story, then you try to go me one bet
ter. Other stories that I think are
well authenticated are these: That
in winter, under the ice is heard a
rumbling, groaning sound. So much
so that, although the winter trail lies
straight across it, the Indians refuse
to travel it, and go all the way round.
That in summer there rise periodically
great bubbles Of gas of some kind, that
bubble, and bubble, and finally die
away. talked with those who have
seen this phenomenon. Then two
things I found for myself. First, the
lake is very deep. 1t is sparkling and
clear, and shelves rapidly, a few feet
from shore, to an unknown depth.
Second, it does TEEN with fish, be-
cause. saw them, although do not
know the variety, for having no, prop
er tackle, we did not catch any. The
ones I saw would average two to
three pounds. No monsters. But who
can say what may inhabit those spark
ling depths? Ugh!'

Few Pence Once Days Wage.

The use Of beaver in making hats
came into being about 1900, for Chau-
Ger mentions it. Flanders turned out
the first. Hatters' guilds began to ap-
pear in England, and apprentices
were taught the art of making felt
hats and decorating these. Nine cents
a day was then a hatter's wage.
In the Sixteenth century the first
hat stores began to do business, and
hats, heretofore as widely decorated
as poetic fancy, began to be stand
ardized. In other words style be-
gan to rule. BY 1900 styles were very
changeable. Shakespeare's plays
speak Of varied types Of hat then
worn.

Our Books and Ourselves.

We should ask questions Of our book
and Of ourselves; what is its purpose !;
by what means 1t proceeds to effect
that purpose; whethet we fully under
stand the one, and go along with the
other? Do the arguments satisfy us !;
do the descriptions convey lively and
distinct images to us; do we under
stand all the illusions to persons OF
things? In short, does our mind act
over again from the writer's guidance
what his acted before; do we reason
as he reasoned, conceive as he con-
'ceived !; think and feel as he thought
and felt; or, II not, can we discern
where and how far we do not, and can
we tell why we do not?-Dr. Thomas
Arnold. II

BRITISH FIGHT SHY
OF WILSON PROJECT
Continued from First Page.

International army and navy. When
these clauses were stricken from the
covenant she fell back on her own re-
sources. and England is sympathetic
with her attitude so long as the dis
armament clauses in the Versailles
treaty remain doubtful OF execution.
Only after Germany has been actually
disarmed beyond suspicion or doubt will
the time be ripe. 1t Is believed here, for
England to urge her ally, through the
League Of Nations or otherwise, to ac-
cept the chance to reduce her military
expenditures.
1t is frankly admitted that England
would like to have reduction in her
own naval power to offer as an example
when the time comes. Meanwhile eco
nomic reasons are inexorably demanding
that Great Britain does not waste mill
ions for armament in a race with two
friendly powers which might be averted
by a conference. The moment England
is convinced that a conference would
promise such results she would come in.

forces OF so near q neighbor as France.
Germany. 1t is generally understood. Of
fers as excuse for her great military or
ganization that Great Britain maintains
a navy which gave her control over the
seas and that so long as Great Britain
maintains her navy. Germany must be
supreme on land.
There is a greater reason than that
for giving favorable consideration to the
resolution sponsored-by myself; that Is.
that II our present naval building pro-
gramme Is carried out our navy by 1928
win be supreme in strength to that of
Great Britain. Great Britain at present
has not an ambitious naval programme
and II the naval programme of each OF
the three countries named In the Borah
resolution is cut in two 1t will simply
operate to defer the time when the su-
premacy in naval strength shifts from
Great Britain to the United States.
From across the seas the suggestion
came some time ago of a proportional
cut in naval strength. That would still
leave Great Britain supreme. Of course.
On the whole, I do not believe it is
practical at all to. effect reduction In
naval strength without at the same time
adjusting the relative strength of the
land forces of the nations Interested"
