with Agnes childless.
There was an old contract, which
Lucas, Senior, had safely locked
away, by which he and his brother
had bound themselves that in the
event of either of them or their sons
dying without issue, the holdings of
the decesaed would pass to the sur
vivOr.
In September, 1918, those condi-
lions seemed completely fulfilled /;
for Agnes, who had gone heart and
soul into war work, sailed aboard a
ship which was torpedoed; and she
was lost.
The news reached Oliver on the
eighteenth; and on the twenty-sec-
Ond, he died.
But Agnes, as though to torment
Lucas even after her death, had
passed on m the most annoying way
possible. Though it was obvious
that she had drowned, yet no one ac-
tually had seen her drown.
Since she was not legally dead, her
home remained open Mrs. Vain,
her housekeeper, and her servants

| She crossed the threshold, which
/ her grandfather had forbidden her,
and went to the front door. Barney
followed and closed the door behind
them. .-

Barney what followed her arrival at
st. Florentin and she received in
return full report from Barney.
He had stopped at Wheedon's in
the afternoon, and there had learned
that a man named Bagley ha /

Ethel said. But of course it was
some one who arrived at the Rock
after Bagley had shut you out and
you had followed him to Wheedon's"
Yes; think that's pretty clear"
Barney agreed. But who was he?"
My grandfather knows, of
course" Ethel said.
That telegram from my uncle
Lucas in Chicago, which Asa
brought when we were at dinner,
told my grandfather who he was
and what his presence meant. You
see, after that we had prayers and
grandfather sent Kincheloe out
again, and grandfather waited in
his house with his rifle loaded. He
wasn't sure whether Kincheloe, or
the other man., was coming back
from the Rock to his house.

asked. suddenly shivering.
He put his hands steadyingly upon
her arm. Il got you into it, he ac-
cused himself. You know I'd no
idea what it would do to you, or I'd
turned back yesterday"
Il think there's surely something
to be found out in Chicago" Barney
said when Ethel stated her determni-
nation to go there at once. Bag
ley's back there; and Marcellus
Clarke has. his office there"
And my uncle Lucas is there -
or he was when he sent that tele-
gram last night warning grand

She gave him her hand in good-by.

AS the train bore Ethel away from
Resurrection Rock and from Barney
Loutrelle, the girl debated in her
mind the task which confronted her
on her arrival and q vaguely wished
that cousin Agnes, Mrs, Oliver Gull
len as she had been known in Chi
cago society before her tragic dls,
appearance from the torpedoed CAT
lantic, were alive to aid her.
About Agnes there had been some
thing of a my:Eery as well as an at
traction to Ethel. Cousin Agnes

1t was to cousin Agnes home that
Ethel went after an unsuccessful
attempt to discover any knowledge

no one-not even the mary newspa-
pers interviewers-got farther than
that.
1t was plain that, not long before
her employment in the Cullen of
fees, she had passed through some
extraordinary experience which had
tremendously Slapped her vitality
She had endured some frightful or
deal which temporarily had downed
her but had not beaten her.
Many men offered themselves to
take up her battle for her. But only
Oliver Cullen, after his fifth or sixth
attempt, succeeded in offering him

John died and Oliver the damned

had been a stenographer, claimed
from Lucas and his stronger, far

Cullen corporations which ownership

Lucas fought and clustered; bat
Oliver asserted the control; or
rather, Agnes did. For Lucas and

regarding the force with which they
had to deal; nor did outsiders re-

HAVE OWN DOMESTIC COURT
English Married Pair Air What They
Feel to Be Grievances at Home
Twice a Year.

The suggestion that there should be
a "grumblerS' day." day on which
everyone should air their grievances
and then forget them for the rest of
the year is not the novelty some peo-
pie seem to think. Two years ago,
writes a correspondent, young mar
ried couple anticipated the suggestion
by establishing half-yearly complaints
courts.
On the selected day, both husband
and wife told each other frankly of
the faults found in the previous six
months. Usually the husband goes
into the dock first while the wife
submits her indictment. If he has
been unduly forgetful, if he has shown
a tendency, to prefer his club to his
wife and home, if he seems selfish or
untidy or keeps too tight a hand upon
the purse strings, the charges are put
before him and are argued out. When
he is convinced, or has shown the
charge is due to a misunderstanding,
the subject drops. Then the wife has
to undergo her cross-eXamination
The practice, it is said, has prevent
ed many little faults and grievances
from becoming chronic and leading to
serious trouble.-Mancheste Guard

Bio Forest Nursery.

The forestry nursery at Saratoga
Springs, which is in the course of
organization at this time, will be the
largest in the world at no distant date.
When completed it will have an output
of 100000 trees per year and some
idea of the scope of this new nursery
may be gained from the fact that
during the transplanting season last
spring the employees of this nursery
several times transplanted more than
125,OOO white pines in a single day.
Seven transplanting tables were in
operation at one time. 1t is at these
tables that the transplanting boards
are filed, by which fifty young trees
are planted in row simultaneously.
The beds in which these plants are
growing present very attractive
sight, the trees being all the same size
and planted in faultless rows.

HUMAN MAKEUP TOO COMPLEX
And That Is Why People Have to Die,
Says High Authority Presumed
to Know.

"Why do we die?" This question
has been asked of the editor of the
Journal Of the American Medical As
ISOLATION, representing "all the doctors
in the land" as the old saying goes.
"We die because we are so COM
plex," says the editor.
So that is the reason that the lay
man must accept. The Literary Digest
intervenes to say that it long has been
believed by biologists that death is
not due to any natural property of the
protoplasm that makes up our bodily
cells. Primitive cellular organisms
that propagate by division may thus
live indefinitely. The higher organ
isms, we are told, die because their
structure is a complicated one.
There is very delicate state of bal
ance, and it is easy to disturb it so
that the whole structure fails. This is
the price that we pay for the multi
plicity of our functions. Would you
rather be a protozoan and live for
ever; or a man, and die? This is, in
effect the alternative that nature
holds out to us. Most of us probably
will be disposed to be glad that we are
what we are, even if our enjoyment Of
the multitude of aptitudes and abili-
ties with which nature has endowed
us is to be brief.-Philadelph Public

ONE THING MISSIONARY KNEW
Score Direct Hit OF the
Bullying Skipper.

Bishop Mitchell said the other day:
Missionaries are good deal de
rided and reviled since the World
war. Why try to convert the heather,
people cry, when we're still so unre-
generate ourselves?
"A Methodist missionary was travel
ing in steamer along the west coast
Of Africa. The skipper kept making
fun of him. The idea of his trying to
better the heather! Why not first bet
ter his own people-get them to stop
using poison gas and all that sort of
thing? Missionaries were no good,
anyway. An ignorant, lazy lot.
"The missionary stood good deal
of this talk, and then one day at din
ner he said to the skipper:
"'We missionaries are ignorant, and
you, of course, know a great deal.
Sailing these African waters so many
years, suppose you can tell me the
length of an alligators tongue?
"'Sure l CAM clustered the skip
per. 'Surest thing you knowr
"'Well, then, what is it?' "
1t depends said the skipper, 'On
the length of the alligator
"'All right. Suppose the alligator
is Is feet long?'
''The skipper looked around the
table. All the passengers bent for
ward, deeply interested in this lingual
duel-this tongue battle, so to speak.
:" If the alligator's Is feet long, the
skipper said, it's tongue will be three
feet long,
'Wrong!' said the missionary,
calmly. I'm only an ignorant mission
airy, but l know that alligators don't
have tongues "-Detroit Free Press.

RoadIess Russia.

Russia is almost roadless land. 1t
is uncomfortable to the foreign visitor
who has ever left the beaten track Of
the railways in Russia how great
empire can have subsisted so long and
so successfully without even pre-
tense at roads. The secret lies in the
fact that for five or six months in
the year nature herself provides
roads over the greater part of Russia
admirable smooth, glossy roadways
over hardworn snow. The traffic is
further cheapened over these roads
by the substitution Of a sledge runner
for the wheel and axle. This brings
the cost of land carriage as near the
cheapness of water-borne freight as
possible, and 1t is the principal rea-
son why Russia In the Twentieth cen
fury is still roadless land.

The largest of thirty rooms has been
taken by Percy Rockefeller. The

are Richard T. Wilson, Gen. Coleman

apartment, Mrs. Boomer being a ma

Some of the walls in many Of the
homes are huge canvases for paint
ings by noted artists. A magnificent
ballroom, restaurant, grill, tea
room and confectionery shop occupy
the first floor and mezzanine. If you

BAD HABITS SEEMINGLY SET
Famous Raider, Moewe, Though Now
Engaged In Peaceful Trading, Con-
tinues Career OF Damage.

Although she has been rechristened
and is now devoted to peaceful pur-
suits, the old Moewe, once notorious as
q German raider, cannot reform her
bad habits. She rammed and sank
the Formby lightship Planet. near the
Mersey bar.
The Moewe is now the Green Brier.
She was outward bound from the
Mersey to Teneriffe and was proceed
ing along the main channel when
something went wrong with her steer
ing gear and she smashed into the
Planet, one of the three lightships
stationed near the mouth of the Mer-
sey and familiar to American and all
other navigators.
Although the Green Briefs captain
kept his steamers head in the light
ships breach, food of water poured
into the Planet and she soon sank.
Her crew Of six narrowly escaped.
The Green Briefs bows were so dam
aged she returned for repairs.
The Green Brier, under the name
Of Moewe and commanded by Capt.
Count Nicholas Won Donna Scholo-
diem, for long time terrorized pas
senger and cargo-carrying vessels in
the Atlantic, and as a result of her
operations British and allied shipping
suffered extensively. The Moewe
proved most elusive and defied all
efforts at capture during long career.
Her original name was Punga. She
made her first trip to the West Indies
under the British flag and Messrs.
Elders and Fyffe's ownership from
Newcastle about Is months after the
armiStice.
