Ortho was surprised to learn OF his
posthumous popularity at Helston.

was being horribly frightened and
hitting out blindly with results that
astonished him even more than his

time in six months.
Eli was back again a few days be-
fore Christmas, and on Christmas eve
Ortho appeared. There was nothing
of the chastened prodigal about him;
he rode into the yard on a snowy
chestnut gelding borrowed from
Pyramus), ragged as a scarecrow. but
shouting and singing. He slapped
bohemia on the back. hugged Eli af-
fectionately, pinned his mother
against the door post and kissed her
on both cheeks and her nose,
chucked old Martha under the chin
and even tossed genial word at the
half-wit Wany.
With the exception OF Eli, no one
was particularly elated to see him
back-they remembered him only as
an unfailing fount of mischief-but
from Ortho'S manner one would have
concluded he was restoring the light
of their lives. He did not give them
time to close their front They
hardly knew he had arrived before
he had embraced them all. The
warmth of his greeting melted their
y
athwart in a yellow toothed grin.

She had not forgiven him for his
school escapade and had intended to
make his return the occasion of a
demonstration as to who ruled the
roost at Bosula. But now she thought
she'd postpone it. He had foiled

Ortho had come back. very different
from the callow, plant child who had
ridden babbling to Helston beside her
10 months previously. Ortho had
grown up. He was copper-colored
with exposure, sported downy haze
on his upper lip and was full 2
inches taller. But the change was
not SO much physical as spiritual.
His good looks were, II anything, en-
phasized, but he had hardened. lnno-
cence was gone from his eyes; there
was the faintest edge to his mirth.
She had not wanted to be kissed, had
struggled against it. but he had tax en-
her by surprise, handled her with dis
patch and assurance that could only
come of practice-Master Ortho had
not been idle on his travels. An idea
occurred to her that she had been
forestaIled. it was Ortho who had
| made the demonstration. Their eyes
met, crossed like bayonets and
dropped. 1t was all over in the frac-

But If Teresa bore hard on others
she sacrificed herself as well. Not a
single new dress did she order that
year, and even went to the length of
selling two brooches, her second best
cloak and her third best pair of ear
rings. Parish feaSts, races, bul1-bait-
1ngs and cockfiEhts she resoluteiy
eschowed; an occasional stroll down
the cove and a pot of ale at the Kid
dlyWink was all the relaxation she
allowed herself. By these self-deny-
ing ordinances She was able to foot
Ellis school bills and pay interest on
her debts, but her temper frayed to
rags. She rallied at Martha morning,
noon and night, threw plates at Wany
and became so unbearahle that Bo-
henna carried all his meals afield with
him.
Eli came home for a few days holi-
day at midsummer, but spent most of
his waking hours at Roswarva.
On his last evening he went ferret

grown were they it was almost i'm
possible to work the fitchets. Their
tiny bells tinkled here and there,

clapperS of derisive sprites. They
gamholed about, rejoicing in their
freedom. treating the quest of fur as
secondary matter. Bohemia pur-
sued them through the thornS, shat
tering the holy hush of evening with
blasphemies.
This ought to be cut back, rooted

The old hind took it as a personal
criticism and turned on him, a bram-

Edinburgh. Scotland, April 14.- The poorer classes of people in Scot land are consuming denatured alco- hol in increasing quantities, due to the low cost as compared with other alcoholic beverages. Aroused by the serious effects from this practice the government is planning drastic ac- ton, and Secretary for Scotland Adamson has promised that after May all methylated spirits, except that used for furniture polish, will be so treated that they cannot be used as a beverage. Adamson said legis- lation would be introduced as early as possible to deal with the distribu- ton of the spirits for use in furni- ture polish.

PRINCE BONAPARTE DEAD
War Descendant Of Napoleon, But An Earnest Republican, and one of Americas Best Foreign Friends.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, April l4.-Prince Roland Bonaparte, one Of the best friends of America among all the descendants of the family Of Napoleon the Great, died today after long illness from Bright's disease.
 The only son of Pierre BOnapartc, hose father was Napolcon's brother, Prince Roland was in order of pre- cedence the head Of the BOnaparte family. Because Of marriage dis pleasing to Napoleon, Hollands grand father and his issue were cut off from possible succession to the throne. Prince Roland, however. was never seriously concerned with royal aspir- ations as he was an earnest republi- can.
 Born in Paris May IS. 1858, he was educated for a military career and was graduated from St. Cyr, but was expelled from the French army at the time when All the princes of the house except himself were banished from France.
 Tn November. 1880 he married Marie Felix Blanc who died two years later. She was a daughter of the late NJ. Blanc, proprietor of the great Monte Carlo gambling establishment, and left her husband an immense for tune. Their only child, Princess Ma rie, married Prince George, brother of the late King Constantine of Greece, in 1907.
 Prince Roland was widely known as a geographer, explorer and ethnol- ogist. He was formely president of the Geographical society and the interna- tional aeronautic federation and was also a member of the institute of France and the author of more than . score of scientific treatises.
 After his declaration of republican, ism Prince Roland was allowed to remain in France. but spent most of his time in research tours. One of his hobbies was the collection Of ferns. He visited the United States several times and made friends there with whom he corresponded up 10 the time of his illness. Ferns were sent to him from every state in the union.
 He was an admirer of American in- stltutions and during the war once said that while proud to be French man, the next best thing he could have wished was to have been born an American.
