In the doorway Hedden turned;
smiling as if upon sudden
thought.
Silver" he said abruptly, "a
prize-fighter goes into strict train
ing for weeks and weeks before
a fight, so a horse before a race:
so a college boy before football
game. Now all these things are
child's play to, acting. You must
regard me as your trainer. Can
You do that?"

And she smiled up at him.

Then said he, keep your

your eyes and your mind all

We'll, then-don't fall in love-
With that he left her.
Silver Sands moved slowly to a
window and stock looking out at
the yachts and catboats with
which the nearby waters Of the
harbor bristled. Until Hedden's
half joking, half-earnest, admo-
milton it had not occurred to her
. that she could fall in love with
anybody. She was too young,
and self-centered thoughts were
SO interesting.
Gradually from among the
yachts her eyes singled out the
beautiful white hull Of the Aphro-
dite, and after that saw no
other.
They had said good-by-not
even $50 long-see you later"

just because the binding was
inviting?
A pink and white complexion
doesn't always indicate a good
digestion-or a good disposition.
Long lashes don't prove clear
vision. Nor do sturdy, broad
shoulders always bend them
selves gracefully and efficiently
to life's burdens
Character counts. Character
generally maps itself out on a
mans face in lines of strength.
Character lasts. When the CHS
eled beauty of fine features gives
way to the ravages of disease or
dissipation or time, the force of a
real character may have nodded
homely man or woman into
something fine and noble.
Napoleon was little man.
Abraham Lincoln was an ungainly
youth with heavy angularity of
feature and form. George Eliot
was an ugly" woman. No one
has ever sung the beauty and
charm of Molly Pitcher, Grace
Darling, Barbara Freitchie or
Florence Nightingale. Yet even
today they are loved for the
memory of what they were-and
no one asks:
What did they look like?"
Beauty fades. The things that
endure are not always found in
editions de luxe" Beauty has a
way of fancying that it is it's own
excuse for being. Handsome folks
sometimes become so lazy, self
ish and self satisfied that they
give nothing beyond a momentary
satisfaction to the eye.
Beauty is a fine selling-talk for
magazine cover. But you don't
have a magazine around for more
than month. Look beyond
beauty to the table of contents
at least when you choose a life
partner.

ROMANCES OF
JEWELS
BY Barbara Bayne-

The Great MoguP Diamond.
w INDU tradition says that
the Great Mogul was worn
by the hero Mahabharta
1000 years ago, and that it was
in the possession of Rajah Vikram-
aditya Sc B. c. But down to the
fourteenth century, when it fell
into the possession of Rajah of
Maleve, it's history is obscure.
In 1926 it became the property of
Baber, Emperor of Delhi, a de-
scendant Of Tamerlane, the IA
nous conqueror. It was from
Baber, the first Great Mogul, more
correctly ''mughal." which, in Hin
dustan means ito be brave" that
the stone derives its name.
Tavenier, the French explorer.
says he saw it at the court Of
Aurungzebe in 1865, and in it's
rough state it then weighed 1885
carats. Unfortunately, by the I'M
skilled cutting of the Venetian
teweler, Hortensio Borgis, it was
reduced to 279 9-16 carats.,
Angered at the spoilation of the
great stone, Baber condemned him
to death. but he finally escaped
with fine of 10000 rupees. The
jewel was seized by the Nadir
Shah at the sack of Delhi in 1889,
and since that date it is described
as a round, blue-white, high-crown-
ed rose diamond.
The British conquered Shah
Alan II, last ruler of the great
Mogul Empire, in 1906, and took
possession of it's famous jewels.
Then Mohammed Bahadur, the
last of the dynasty, was condemn
ed for completely in the Sepoy mu-
tiny and transported to Rangoon,
where he died.
The great Mogul dynasty has
ceased 10 exist. but the gerat Mo-
gul diamond constitutes a part Of
the British imperial regalia.

Now, how do you think
this would do for the captains
lines when he tells her about
the cabin-boy's death? I should
explain that the cabin-boy is to

uncle of all his nieces and
nephews-they climb on his knee

the sternest of disciplinarians.
