II was all an uneven struggle from
the first. Warwick was still sweet 10
Miss Greer, but with a gentlemanly pre-
cision that CALLED her. He was never
sweet to Jo. He was more afraid. though
he loved her from the first. She was
so beautiful.
| The eternal, Internal triangle again.
But it isn't funny this time. There was
real tragedy here-May with a second
memory dying; Warwick too afraid Of
JOS youth to put his to the test. Things
became rather gray and expressionless;
and for 10, tasting the first sweets Of a
big love, somewhat bitter.
Through all the mock tragedy the
shelf-list went on. Books had TO be re-
placed and marked and sent out to the
public. Sometimes il seemed TO Jo her

One day Miss Greer heard her prayer
find vocal expression. She had gone out
into the stacks to rearrange a shelf Of
old books. Jo and Warwick were in the
stack behind her. and the sting Of their
words bit into her consciousness.
You don't know what you're saying"
from Jo. You'll never be old. You
can't be old. I've got youth enough for

I'm afraid. Jo. You're so-so-l can't
say it. so full Of the spirit Of youth,
maybe You'll have to pay for my age.
And what can give you in return!
I'm afraid. too said Jo. Can't you
see that? People are always talking
about our modern fippancy and care
lessnesss. If only someone could see
beneath that our fear. as big a fear as
any Victorian maiden's, afraid Of mice

In May was the tiny glimmering Of
that independent light which was, in a
later generation. TO burst into such full
fame. She had grown tired Of staying
home and waiting. always waiting. Tired
Of fancy work and Henry James. Through
a member Of the school board whom her
father knew she entered the public H.
brary. then occupying just one room in
building on Market street. Entered
for just year or two, and stayed with
it twenty-five.
There was only one other library work
er when she came, the Librarian him
self, a round little man with a white
beard. He used to stand at the back of
the room. hands behind his back sway
ing a little, glowering at the patrons.
Around the walls were placards with big
black letters warning '-Silence!" And
the squat card catalogue at the side Of
the desk was armored with DO not

The atmosphere Of the place was op-
pressiye, but to May the work itself was
balm.
Mr.. Ceniry's responsibility was uphold
ing the dignity of his position, so to
Mays care were entrusted the card cata-
logue and the several hundred books.
When she was not busy checking out the
looks. she made cards for the index in
small. fine hand. Her ncatness was
painful enough TO wiring tribute from Mr..

Plan to Carry
Mail By Night
Airplane Line

RENO, New, Sept. 16.-Esta bnsh
ment in the air mail by the post Of
flee department of night flying in the
air mail service between Chicago and
Cheyenne, Wyo., which Will make a
flight across the continent in less than
thirty-siX hours possible, was assured
when J. A. MCGEE of the Washington
headquarters made a recent inspection
trip over the proposed route.
Major O. A. Tomlinson in charge Of
the Reno air field. said the plans of
the department are to create landing
fields every twenty five miles along
the route and to equip these fields
with beacon lights which would en-
able the pilots to follow the course
and would furnish suitable spots on
which to make forced landings.
MCGEE, in his inspection trip. made
the flight across the country with air
mail pilots to make a survey of the
region and to find desirable landing
places.
With the adoption of these plans,
planes may leave San Francisco in the
morning, reach Cheyenne by nightfaIl,
Chicago by daybreak and New York
before the end of the second day.

Babies And Old
Men Swell Total
Fatal Accidents

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Babies who
were too young to realize danger, and
old men who couldn't move quickly
enough to avoid it, swelled the total of
accidental deaths to 3,483 in New York
City last year, health department re-
ports reveal. This represents q de-
crease of 400 from the accidental
deaths of 1919.
Only 987 Of the victims were fe-
males, while. 2,496 We're males. Even
among infants the death rate for
males was by far the higher, probably,
according to the health office, because
boy babies often come to grief through
inquisitiveness and a natural tendency
to seek adventure.
THE most important cause of acct
dental death from a numerical stand
point is the automobile" the report
continues. Last year sac persons
were killed in this city as the result of
automobile accidents. This is equiva-
lent to a ratio of almost Is per 1OO,-
600 Of population and represents a net
Increase Of one per 100 since 1919
we must not lose sight, however,
of the fact that the number of fatal
street accidents has not kept pace with
ing the streets. If the same ratio
between accidents and vehicles OBJ
tanned today as In previous years, the
fatalities would be many times great
err so that in reality a big saving in
life has been effected through regu-
Iation of traffic and the closing of
streets for play during certain hours
Of the day"
Almost II persons per 100, O0O-num-
bering 684-died in falls, says the re-
port; 1913 from scaffolds and buildings
and 1873 from fire escapes and win
dows.
Certainly this was d needless. loss
Of life" says the health department.
Almost one-third of these deaths oc-
CURED among children under five
years of age. In other words, among
little children who were allowed to go
out on fire escapes or to lean out of
windows
Surely this indicates gross neglig-
ence and calls for active propaganda
to educate parents not to permit little
tots to engage in such hazardous forms
of play"

Heir
To Large Fortune

MONTEVlDEO Uruguay, Sept. 16.-
After lapse of 70 years an heir to
the S30,O0O,O00 fortune left by an Irish
peer has appeared in this city in the
person Of Don Eugenio O'Neill, a
Uruguayian subject who is employed
by the Agricultural Society of Uru-
quay.
Mr.. O'Neiu, who is 68 years Of age,
was first made aware of the facts of
the case by a London friend who read
in newspaper list of the great for
tunes held by the Bank of England in
trust for their legitimate heirs. Once
in possession of the santecedents of
the case, the lucky heir-presumptive
took steps TO set the law in motion to
assert his claim to this vast fortune.
He has been deluged with letters of
congratulation from all his friends,
and many others who claim to be, and
the only fly in the ointment is the dis
covery of the existence Of other
ONeills in Chile Portugal. the United
states and Argentina to say nothing
NJ a possible claimant from Queens
land, Australia
In spite of this. however, Don Eu-
genio is convinced that he alone is
the rlghtful heir to this respectable
fortune. and the progress of his claim
Is being watched with much interest in
this city.

Officials To Begin
War On Bootlegger

Ell PASO, Tex, Sept. 16.-Jaurez pro
hibition officials, following warnings is
sued by physicians and peace officers to
Americans here against drinking bootleg
liquor, have taken a hand in an effort to
abolish a number of alleged Illicit stills
where the liquor is manufactured.
Liquid resembling whisky, wines, beer,
tequilla, CMexican whisky and other
liquors in Juarez, have been found on
this side to contain injurious elements,
although it is sealed as genuine.
Dealers in Juarez find ready market
price is paid when labels are not broken.
Illicit manufacturers have several
means of deceiving buyers. They get
a cheap grade of whisky and put it in
bottles which contained expensive
brands. Water and tea frequently are
used to dilute the liquid Others burn
sugar, make tea from leaves of various
kinds and add little alcohol. Wine is
treated with colored matter and artificial
flaVors.
An over supply of beer made in
Juarez, Chihuahua City, Monterrey and
Mexico City, offered to Juarez saloons,
has created another upheavel in Juarez
liquor circles. The wholesale price of
beer has been slashed and retail prices
reduced.

DARK DAY WILL BE
CAUSED BY ECLIPSE
Moon viii Cast Shadow Over southefa
Seas From Africa To
Australia.

CHICAGO, Sept 16.-The fact that
you do not live on the east coast Of
Africa, Australia or on islands in the
Southern Pacific ocean relieves you Of
the unpleasantness OF a dark day on
September 81.
On that date, according to Prof. Ed
win B. Frost of the University of Chi
cago and director of the Yerkes obser-
vatory, a total solar eclipse will occur
over that region.
The moon, coming between the earth
and the sun, will cast a shadow which
will sweep over the southern sea from
a point off the eastern coast of Africa
near the Equator. cross a few scattered
islands and the continent of Australia
and then out to the Southern Pacific
ocean, he said.
This trial of the shadow will be about
lis miles wide. The duration of to-
tally at different points will vary from
three to six minutes and Professor Frost
declared this to be an unusually long
eclipse.
