that they are day dreams. Without

In the end Martin went, chiefly
TO get away from his thoughts.
He succeeded so well that the
gossips were linking his name
with Hattie Woods, a flashing
brunette, before a week had
passed.
Word OF all this came to the
Joyce bungalow. and came in
the insidious form OF an anony-

A Matter of Insight.

Peter had less insight than his
wife; to him it seemed aim ost sac
rilegious to talk OF mundane things
while beauty was lamenting over
ideals crushed. And Cherry was
not slow to sense his viewpoint.
Size showed by her effort to smile
that she knew where she could
turn for sympathy.

"OU were right in your guess.
1t was undoubtedly the
work of spiders. Such
sights are not uncommon in the
autumn in many parts Of the
country. When sprinkled with
dew the sheet OF webs CLEANS like
silver gauZe, and often appears
filled with evanesCent rainbOws.
What seems surprising is that
one seldom catches the least
glimpse of any of the myriads of
spiders who have done the work.
They are great hiders. The hid
ing instinct is deep planted in
them by heredity. 1t arises from
the fact that the whole insect
world is allied against the spiders,
for the reason that they are car
nivores and live almost exclusively
upon insects II the old Classifi-
cation Of spiders with insects had
been correct they would have ap-
peared as the typical Cannibals Of
the world.
BY being the implaCable enemies
OF insects spiders become the allies
Of man. Most of us don't like the
looks Of spiders. For my part l
cannot see one suddenly near me
without a nervous start or a jump.
Thus it often happens that allies
dislike one another's appearance
and ways. But the main chance
keeps them yoked as soon as 1t is
clearly understood, and there can
be no doubt about the main chance
in the relations Of men, spiders and
insects. Spiders don't bite us or
sting us-Or so rarely that n case
can hardly ever be established
against them-they do us no ma
terial harm, but they slaughter the
typhoid fly without mercy, and
lend their aid to the gardener and
the farmer by destroying hosts OF

settlement in the mountains with
his daughters, Alix and Cherry,
and his niece, Anne, who keeps
house for him. Peter Joyce,

DR.. Strickland dies. Anne claims a
$4,000 loan made years before.
Peter returns and marries Alix.
Cherry leaves Martin and comes

ing she will never return.

deny RESPONSIBILITY
FOR GARDEN ERRORS
Greenfield Agent Says He Knew
of Only One Case and it
Was Adjusted.

Eugene Cornell. local Greenfield
agent. this morning disclaimed all
knowledge of the matter of reported
errors in deeds for Union Garden
properties. He stated that as far as
he was concerned II was not in his
Jurisdiction and that he was concern
ed with getting out what deeds were
presented TO him and according TO the
way they were marked. He denied
even hearing of the matter, with the
exception of one case. which he said
was settled in June.
When questioned about the rest Of
the work he said that all OF the deeds
have been delivered with the excep-
ton of about 100, which he has on
hand. Last night he made arrange
ments with Mr. Deputy. who has pur-
chased the property at 2204 Lancaster
avenue. TO allow him otake possession
next week. He hopes 10 he able to
deliver the property on Tuesday. This
means that all the remainder Of the
deal must he completed in the Phila-
delphia office of tho Greenfield COM
pany.
Cornell is very anxious to get in
touch with n Joseph Katz, who has
purchased two OF the properties. but
of whom no trace can he found. The
deeds are ready for delivery, but the
Greenfield people have been unable to
locate the man. He gave his address
as Real Estate Trust Bldg. Whining
ton. There is no such building here.
but there is a Real Estate Title and
Trust Co. in Philadelphia to whom
Cornell applied without success for
some knowledge OF Katz. All mail ad-
dressed to him has been returned.
Caleb l.. Burchenal this morning
disclaims any knowledge of the mat
ter Of wrong descriptions in the deeds.
He stated that he was sure that the
deeds that they had done were correct,
for they have all been rechecked sew
eral times. When asked how soon he
would wind up his work no said that
he had completed all that he could
do at this time and that he must wait
until the Greenfield concern secured a
release Of the houses under the blanket
mortgage before he could settle the %
deeds which he had on hand. He hoped
that he would secure this by tho first
of next week.
! 1t was reported at the office of tho
recorder of deeds that there are now
about $40 deeds registered.
