acceptable because he spoke with the
tongue of understanding,
A small chuckle was struggling In
her throat. She could not help won
dering what the man would think
could he know how dangerously near
he was to being publicly kissed by a
strange woman.
But the chuckle expired in stran-
gled gasp. The dancing eyes stead
led to a fixed stare. The color in her
cheeks ebbed more swiftly than it had
come.
She began to wonder if her heart
would ever beat again, If she would
ever find strength to move from that
spot where terror had transfixed her.
Her veering glance had been arrest
ed almost as soon as detached from
the portrait by the sardonic and in
solent regard of one who stood at a
slight distance, though in the same
group; a man whose face she had
never seen yet knew; the man whom
she knew only by the style under
which he passed among his criminal
kind-"Harry the Nut"
And he knew her, as his meaning
sheer witnessed.
Nor was this the worst beyond his
shoulder a second face showed, color
less and drawn with passionate NAL
ice; the face of the woman Inez.

COMMUNAL SPIRIT IN JAPAN
Writer Notes the Fact That Natives
Share Their Sneezes With Strang-
ers on Street Cars.

Japanese do things In public for
which we would ostracize a man or
send him to the lookup. From their
communal spirit which tolerates bath
ing in public together they go to the
other extreme of coming out on their
balconies and clearing their throats
at five o'clock in the morning and ex-
pectorating into the open cutters be-
low.
They will hold their fans before
their mouths when talking or yawning,
as do we, but will cough and sneeze
in your face on street cars. And yet,
among the refined, observance of GUS
tom is pathetically beautiful. They
come to celebrate the arrival of the
cherry blossoms by bringing with them
their geisha and their children; they
move in perfect hordes; they go to the
station in masses to see off some
friend or relative and crowd the plat
forms, bowling and bowling and bowling
again as though there weren't a thou
sand strangers passing before them I;
they dress, undress, eat, sleep, and
drink whisky by the tumblerful on the
trains-yet their inner lives are as Sc
cret to one another as they seem to
be to the foreigner.
1t is as though from behind the
scenes-in which many people are
more interested than in the play IT.
self-the actors had come, forgetting,
in moment Of Observation-Disclosures to
Iut on their makeup, or had come
upon the street, forgetting to take it

WHY ONES TEETH "CHATTER"
Certain Set of Muscles, Affected by the
Cold, Get to Work, Irrespective
Of Will.

The little muscles which close the
jaw are acted upon by the cold in such
a way that they pull the jaw up and
then let it fall by its own weight.
This, repeated many times, causes
the teeth to click together and produce
what we know as ''chattering."
We think of it in connection with
our teeth because it is the teeth which
make the sound, but the cause lies in
the muscles which we use in chewing
or in opening our mouth when we
speak.
The chattering occurs in spite of the
will or brain. We have little control
over it, and can stop it only by clench-
ing the teeth. 1t is really a mild va
riety of spasm caused by the cold,
which acts on the jaw muscles in much
the same way that some poisons pro-
duce muscular spasms which cannot
be controlled.

HOW ONION AFFECTS EYES
"Gass" Given Off Causes Smarting and
the Organ Hastens to Take Relief
Measures.

The "gas" given off by a freshly
peeled onion makes itself apparent in
two ways-by strong aroma which
is at once apparent to the sense of
smell, and by smarting Of the eye
balls, which, being very sensitive, are
hurt by this substance to which they
are not accustomed.
The nerves of the eye Immediately
signal the brain to turn on the tears
or liquid which is secreted by the body
as a natural eye-wash. This, flowing
over the eyeball, forms curtain which
prevents the onion "gas" from coming
in direct contact with the nerves and
thus injuring them.
Tears are present in the eye at all
times. When we wink, a tiny drop of
the tear-liquid is smeared across the
ball of the eye and washes off par
ticles of dust which may have accum-
ulated. But when this liquid is pro-
duced so rapidly that it cannot be
carried off by the trough at the lower
part of the eye, the tears overflow and
run down the face.

v. THE PORTRAIT AGAIN.

That week saw infatuated spring
abandoning every show of diffidence
Fastening with footsteps daily more
fleet to fling herself into the arms OF
summer.
Mrs. Trowbridge had arranged to
take over the Southampton cottage OF
friend who was going abroad
Priscilla, preoccupied with personal In
terests, her unhappiness and the WORK
that seemed its only antidote, was
careless whittier they went for the
summer. or when, or how, so long as
the change were not permitted to hin
der her painting, and asked only to be
let alone till she finished her two, latest
canyases.
Twice she begged for postpone
ments, which were grudgingly conced
ed, and ultimately, badgered beyond
endurance by her aunt's insistence
that she name a definite day when she
would be willing to go, fatty declared
she wouldn't bulge a foot out OF
town before she had at least com
pleted the portrait of Ada Meyer.
Mrs. Trowbridge heard the accent OF
finality and gave in at discretiOn-but
with pursed lips.
Fosdick. observing Priscilla in a
threefold capacity. conceded the con
quest of his admiration as sports
man: the girl was putting up the gam
est fight conceivable, against crushing
odds.
81 The physician in him saw with sat
isfaction the seemingly successful
working out of his prescribed regime
Even the sedative which, by his order
Priscilla took every night on going to
bed, was doing it's work without any
apparent i'll effect: to the contrary
indeed. since her dreams no longer
distressed the girl. Still, it would be
over-sanguine to consider the case
already closed with a cure. -7r
And the lover remained in suspense
hoping against hope with an uneasy
heart
Andrews turned up no trace of LIE
ronora after her departure from the
IWalpole in company with Mario. II
those two had married, they had man
aged the business with the utmost
circumspection and secrecy.
He reported no progress in his
search for traces of Mother O'More'
assuming that such a person had
ever existed.
There came at length day of re
taking heat, when everything went
wrong.
Ada Meyer showed up in the morn
ing only to announce that, much as
she adored her portrait, she hadn't
the slightest intention of going or
with the sittings or. for that matter

of stopping on in town another day
In such weather. If Priscilla wanted
to finish the portrait she would have
to bring it down to the Meyer country
home and work on it there. This be-
Ing manifestly unreasOnable-Ada
knew quite we'll it would be impossi-
BILE to duplicate the lighting of the
studio-Priscilla felt constrained to
point out candidly how selfish Ada
was. And they bickered until they
parted, each huffed to the verge of
tears.
Priscilla consoled herself, she had
shopping to do.
The shops were crowded, the sales
people irritable and irritating. She
found nothing that suited her. Be
tween three and four she gave up
trying and, thoroughly out of humor,
started to walk home up the avenue.
In front of the Hardness gallery a
little knot of people had collected,
creating an eddy In the tides of foot
traffic. Priscilla hesitated, then with
uuickening pulses added herself to the
group before the show window, work
Ing her way into its heart, where she
obtained an hnobstructed view OF her
work
For it was true, what she had sur
missed: Hardness had already put the
portrait of Leonora on exhibition.
And already it was attracting a con-
spicuous amount of attention.
Enchanted, Priscilla stood before
her painting with eyes that shone
and cheeks aglow, an exquisite emo
ton yelling in her bosom.
Near by a man spoke in the Ian
guage of the studios, praising the por-
trait to a companion. And Priscilla
heard and was exalted.
When she dared trust herself to do
so, she looked around cautiously, seek
ing to identify that kindly critic whose
appreciation was so much the more
