the three rose with her and stood
while she went out. She went up
stairs and looked in upon her father !;
he wanted nothing, and after con-
versation with him as short as she
could make it, she came down again.
No further disagreement between the
two men. apparently, had happened
after she left the table. Avery now
was not visible Eaton and Blatchford
were In the MUSHROOM. With a re-
pugnance against her fathers orders
which she had never felt before, she
began to carry out the Instructions
her father had given her.
She noticed that Eaton was familiar
with almost everything she had liked
| which had been written or was cur
rent up to five years before; all later
music was strange to him. To this
extent he had been of her world,
plainly, up to five years before; then
he had gone out Of it.
She realized this only as something
which she was to report to her father
yet she felt keener more personal
| interest in IT than that. Harriet San
tome knew enough of the world to
know that few men break completely
all social connections without some
| link of either fact or memory still
holding them, and that this link most
often is a woman.

santoine,s eyes" Fail Him.


Eaton. coming down rather late the
next morning, found the breakfast
room empty. He chose his breakfast
from the dishes on the sideboard, and
while the servant set them before him
and waited on him, he inquired after
the members of the household. Miss
Santoine, the servant said, had break
tasted some time before and was now
with her father; Mr.. Avery also had
breakfasted; Mr.. Blatchford was not
yet down. AS Eaton fingered over his
breakfast, Miss Davis passed through
the hall, accompanied by maid. The
maid admitted her into the study and
closed the door; afterward, the maid
remained in the hall busy with some
morning duty, and her presence and
that of the servant in the breakfast
room made it impossible for Eaton to
attempt to go to the study or 10 risk

utes later, he heard Harriet Santoine
descending the stairs; rising, he went
out into the hall to meet her.
Il don't ask you to commit yourself
for longer than today, Miss Santoine,"
he said, when they had exchanged
greetings, "but-for today-what are
the limits of my leash?"
Mr. Avery is going to the country
club for lunch; believe he intends to
ask you If you care TO go with him."

Earliest Idea of the Shadow Show
Said to Have Been Recorded
500 Years B. C..

That the earliest idea of a moving
picture was recorded in the time of
COnfucius, the Chinese philosopher
who lived 500 years before Christ, is
the deduction drawn from study of
the question by Will Day, a we'll
known figure in the English film world
who has exhibited in London collec-
ton of relics and machines tracing the
growth of the moving picture from the
first primitive idea to its present form,
says an exchange.
The shadow shows" of Confucius
are the first of all known endeavors to
present animated pictures. The next
period of progressive achievement is
found in 1916, when Athanasius Kirch-

name of the famous president should

that Santoines even without any new
information, would not reach the
truth unaided at any moment. So
Eaton knew that he himself must act
before this happened. But so long as
the safe in Santoine's study was kept
locked or was left open only while
someone was in the room with IL, he
could not act until he had received
help from outside; and he had not

he had ever done before in her pres
ence. She was the. more surprised at
his doing this now, because she knew
that Donald must have received from
her father the same instructions as
had been given herself to learn what
ever was possible of Eaton's former
position in life.
Before Eaton's entrance into her
life she had supposed that some time,
as a matter of course; she was going
to marry Donald. In spite of this, she

marrying, it had been always with the
idea that her duty to her husband
must be secondary TO that to her
father; she knew now that she had

he had become necessary TO her but
because he had seemed essential to
her father and her marrying Donald
would permit her life to go on much
as it was
Donald had social position and a
certain amount of wealth and power

She got UP and went toward the safe

stopped. What it was that she had

irritation at having important worl
