or in. as you choose!"
Martin ventured an answer that
made Cherry's eyes CLINT angrily and
brought quick. embarrassed flush to
Alix's face. Alix did not enjoy a
certain type Of joking. and she did not
concede Martin even the ghost Of a
smile. He Immediately sObered and
remarked that he himself liked to be
indoors at night. His suitcase was
accordingly taken into the pleasant
little wood-smelling room next to Pc

scented with the dry sweetness Of
mountain shrubs, was streaming.
He began to play solitaire. on the
porch table, at five. and Kow had to

CHAPTER XVI.

The evening dragged. Alix had sug-
gested bridge. but Martin did not play
bridge. So she went to the piano, and
began to ramble through various
songs.
Cherry and Peter, left at the table,
did not speak to each other; Peter
leaned back in his chair, with a ciga-
rette; Cherry dreamily pushed to and
fro the little anagram wooden block
| letters.
But presently her heart gave a great
plunge, and although she did not alter
her different attitude, or raise her
eyes, her white hand moved with d.
rected impulse, and Peters casual
glance fell upon the word Alone"
When he laid his finished cigarette
In the tray, 1t was to finger the let
ters himself. In turn. and Cherry real
lied with a great thrill of relief that
he was answering her. Carelessly, and.
obliterating one word before he began
another, he formed the question: "My
office tomorrow"
Martin always with me-" Cherry
spelled back. She did not glance at
Peter, but at Martin, who was watch
ing the fire, and at Alix, whose back
was toward the room.
Come on. have another game /"
Peter asked, generally, while he
spelled quickly: "Will arrange sail

glanced up to say, mo. I'm no good at

Peter had reached for magazine;
he whirled through the pages, and
yawned. Then he began to play with
the anagrams again.
"Cnn you get away without himT
he spelled.
"How?" Cherry Instantly asked
And as Peters hands went on build
ing little bridge Of wooden letters,
she went on: "Alix to train, Martin
with me to city, impossible"
Give him the slip" Peter spelled.
And after pause he added. Life or

Difficult to evade." Cherry spelled,
wiping the words away one by one.

ending her song on a crash Of chords,
came to the table. interrupting him.

But the game was rather languid

ed at dinner-time.
"Ill blow you girls to any show you

Remarking that he was tired. Peter
went to his room. Cherry, with only
general goodnight, also disappeared
to find Alix arranging beds and pill
lows on their sleeping porch.

Cherry!" she ended, suddenly pitiful.
Cherry had stopped crying, dried
her eyes, and had reached resolutely
for the book that was waiting on the
little shelf above the porch bed.
You're bigger than l am" she said,
quietly. "Or else I'm 80 made that

music. But I can't do anything. I'm
sorry. One knows Of unhappy mar
riages. everywhere, without quite
fancying just what horrible tragedy
an unhappy marriage Is! Don't mind
me, Alix."
Alix was conscious as she went out
to speak to Kow about breakfast, and
to give a final glance at fires and
lights, tnat this was one of the times
when girls needed wise mother or a
father, who could decide, blame, and
advise.
Coming back from the kitchen, with
a pitcher Of hot water, she saw Mar
tin, in a welter of evening papers,
staring at the last pink ashes of the
wood fire. Upon seeing her he got up,
and with cautious glance toward the
bedroom doors he said:
Look here a minute! Can they
hear us?" Alix set down her pitcher
Of water, and came to stand beside
him.
"Henr us-Peter and Cherry? No,

Alix. mystified, duly went to glance
at Cherry, reading now In a little fun
mel Of yellow light, and then crossed
to enter Peters room. His porch was
dark, but she could see the outline Of
the tall figure lying across the bed.

"Nope!" he answered.

DRAGONS OF EAST AND WEST
Legends Regarding Them Vary Wide.
", the Oriental Mind Regarding
Them With Reverence,

Perhaps we never stop to realize
how strange tits that among the saints
there Is room for one to win his place
by the reputed actual saving Of d lady
from dragon. And yet this Is the
story Of Saint George of England, and
considered in no categorical light by
tile medieval church. The wealth.
hOarding and slaughtcr-bringing drag
ons early trailed across the legends
Of Europe. bringing with them desola-
ton and forming pretexts for love at
fairs between lorn damsels and he
roes.
The eastern mind sympathized with
the dragon and made 1t the emblem
of rule. I know Of only one instance
where anyone attempted to destroy a
dragon, for they were usually regarded
as sacred and Of incompatible power.
The West, howeves, true to its tenn
permanent, preferred to tell Of dragons
conquered and slain by the wit Of man.
The dragon Is almost the symbol Of
nature In the East, and the different
ways of meeting it seem to form an
allegory of the oriental mystic rever-
ence of nature and the European scien-
tltic conquest Of it.-Elizabeth J. Coats
worth, In the North American Review.

Leather hlS Hobby.

One of the curious American char
acters Of the last century was the
"Old Leather Man" who for nearly
30 years tramped over eastern New
York and Connecticut clad almost en-
tirely in leather. His home was In a
cave near Sing Sing, where he was
found dead in 1889. He did occa-
sional jobs Of plumbing, and never
accepted any recompense but food and
tobacco.
He was said to have been made In
sane by an unfortunate love affair In
France when he was young man.
According to the story, he won the
heart of tho daughter Of wealthy
leather merchant and entered into her
fathers business to prove his worthi-
ness. He speculated In leather and
when the market in that commodity
crashed. his prospective father-ln-law
was ruined and his own hopes were
shattered. This unhinged his mind, and
he determined to spend the rest Of his
life wandering around the countryside
clothed in leather. His name was
Inles Bourglay.
