CHAPTER VIII-continued.

When she came down her father and
about the table in the living-room; the
room hung with trophies of the chase
and of competition; the room which
had been the nucleus of the YD. es-
tate There was a colored cover on
the table, and the shaded oil lamp in
the center sent a comfortable glow of
light downward and about. The MAN.
moth shadows of the three people fell
on the log walls, darting silently from
position to position with their every
movement
Her mother arose as Zen entered
the room and took her hands in a
warm, tender grip.
You're really leaving u.s." she said.
''Fm not saying / object. / think Mr.
Transley will make you good hus-
band. He is man of energy, like
your father He will do well. You
will not know the hardships that we
knew in our early married life" Their
eyes met, and there was a moments
pause.
You will not understand for many
years what this means to me,
Zenith" her mother said, and turned
quickly to her place at the table.
She could not remember what they
had talked about after that. She had
been conscious of Transley's eyes
often on her, and of certain spiritual
.exaltation within her. She could not
remember what she had said, but she
knew she had talked with unusual
vivacity and charm. 1t was as though
certain storehouses of brilliance in
her being, of which she had been un-
aware, had been suddenly opened to
her. 1t was as though she had been
Intoxicated by a very subtle wine
which did not deaden, but rather
quickened, all her faculties.
Afterwards, she had spent long
hours among the foothills, thinking
and thinking. There were times when
the fame Of that strange exaltation
burned low, indeed; times when 1t
seemed almost to expire. There were
moments-hours-of misgivings She
could not understand the strange do
cility which had come over her; the
unprecedented willingness to have her
course shaped by another That
strange willingness came as near to
frightening Zen as anything had ever
done She felt that she was being
carried along In stream; that she
was making no resistance; that she
had no desire to resist. She had a
strange fear that SOM day she would
need qualities of self-direction, and
those qualities would refuse to arise
ar her command.
She did not fear Transley. She be-
lieyed in him. She believed in his abil-
lily to grapple with anything that stood
In his way; TO thrust it aside, and
press on. She respected the judgment
OF her father and her mother, and
both of them believed In Transley. He
would succeed; he would seize the op-
portunities this young country afford
ed and rise TO power and influence
upon them. He would be. kind, he
would be generous. He would make
her proud of him. What more could
she want?
That was Just it. There were dark
moments when she felt that surely
there must be something more than all
this She did not know what it was
she could not analyze her thoughts or
give them definite form-but in these
dark moments she feared that she was
being tricked, that the whole thing
was a sham which she would discover
when n was too Late, SIZE did not

Shipping Fresh Figs

Last season the experiment was
tried, with success. of shipping fresh
figs in papier-mache containers instead
of Ice. The boxes were in layer form,
indented so that each fig had its own
little compartment. The fruit, which
was shipped from the Pacific tc the At
lantic coast, came in such good condi-
ton by this method of packing that it
may open up unlimited markets be-
cause of elimination of refrigeration
costs.

Always Demand for Bibles

The American Bible society has an
nounced that there is an increasing
interest in the Bible, and that In the
last year 1t has given out more than
100000 copies. This is the second
time In its history that its issue has
exceeded that figure in one year. The
Bible now circulates in more than It's
languages. Nearly one-haIf of the
100000 copies distributed annually
are demanded in the Orient.

Believed Birds Talked

Legend and folklore are responsible
for the saying, "a little bird told me :
The Biloxi Indians used to believe the

Ineligible to humans and the 3reton
peasants undoubtedly believed birds

human language.

California every year, they are
amazed that the producers Of that

of work and anchoring them In
position. This danger is shown
by the fact that from May, 1918.
to February, 1924, there were no
less than lis collisions recorded.
These ranged from collisions re-
sulting in a total loss of the plant
to more or less grave damage.
They included many types OF
boats which struck the dredging
plants including large steamers,
powerful towboats towing heavy
car floats, others with many deck
scows in tow and sailing vessels
At times lives were lost in these
collisions. They took place in all
kinds of weather because the
