And Mr.. Giffith's picture gives
the lie direct to Longfellow's
poem on the ride, for while the
poet stated that Hardly a man

date and year." the vociferous
applause which greets every hoof-
beat of Revere's horse shows very

we'll as men, remember Paul, his
steed, and the occasion Of their
Journey very well, indeed.
There have been horse rahes
pictured before; the movies have
seen more than one bit Of fine
horsemanship; but--and this is

It's probably tie as to which
is the surer sign Of spring-the
annual "clean up and paint up"
campaign-or announcement from
the management that Glen Echo
Park will open for a new season.
Probably both are necessary to
assure us of spring-but it is a
safe bet that the majority are
more interested in this great
amusement park which every
year contributes so much to out
door pleasure.
And speaking of clean up and
paint up''-Glen Echo Park has
been undergoing that treatment a
few months ago--and today one
can almost see his reflection in
more things than the funny mir
rors out there. Everything is
spic and span and as bright as a
bright as a new dollar.
Glen Echo Park will open for
the new season on Saturday, May
10 at 1 p. m. AS usual there will
be dozens of amusement features
so that every hour will seem toe
fly on wings.
A big new feature this year
will be Andy's Rythmonicers-an
orchestra Of ten pieces-playing
thirty-two instruments. Lovers
Of music and dancing are there
fore in for a real treat.
All the snappy, zippy riding
apparatus has been rebuilt, as

CHAPTER VII-Memories

WHEN the professor called for her Sun,
w day afternoon he seemed gay ana
happy. There was ride in the tun-
mel under the Hudson river and longer
enc in a suburban train before they al1ghted
at the pretty little station in the New Jersey
town he called home. At the very end of an
attractive street stood the two-story white
cottage which looked restful and inviting. IN
its setting of smooth lawn and shelterlng
trees. On the porch he made her stop and
rest. while he went in to find his mother.
Presently, through the wide open window
that led into the CHEEKY dining room, In its
tones of dull yellow, he came with her IN
wheel chair. The old lady was beautiful
with her snow-white hair and her full black
silk gown and she greeted Amelie cordially
and made her feel that she was really glao
to have her come.
"Charles has told me of you" she said,
"and made him promise to ask you to come
out to see me because he tells me you are
from Louisiana. l am not near so tond
of that country as he is, but there are rea-
sons why l love it. l think Charles will
never be quite happy until he goes there to
live. He remembers all of the beautiful
and pleasant things, while can remember
only the sorrows of our. life there. l went
there as bride and was very, very happy
for while. But my husband was i'll and
l lost two children there and my own health
was wretched and l have never felt that
could go back"
Before they had realized it late sum-
mer storm had come up and high wind and
angry flashes of lightning forced them to
leave the pleasant porch to go inside. The
professor turned on a softly shaded light
and lit wood fire under the wide mantel
in the cheerful living room. Amelie gave
herself up to the deliciousness of the mo-
ment and the professor reveled in the pic
ture she made among the cushions in his
own favorite chair. Then, by the rosy light
of the leaping fire, the old lady caught
sight of the pin at the girls throat.
'What an exquisite miniature" she ex-
claimed, looking intently at the sweet face
of Amelie's little French grandmother.
at is really beautiful she said, always
glad to have her treasure appreciated. II
prize it very highly indeed as it is one of
the very few of my mothers treasures that

the war and very little was saved. A few
of the portraits and few pieces of furni-
ture were secreted in negro cabin when

"Well," returned Mr.. Lawrence, 'the most
important thing now is to place the whole
affair in the hands of your counsel. l ad-
wise you to act Immediately"
Mr.. Chalmers turned to the telephone and
spent some minutes trying to reach. ms
counsel. 1t was Saturday, which made this
difficuIt. and he had to content himself for
the present with leaving an urgent message
for Attorney Shelton to call him by tele-
phone.
Meanwhile Amelie and Miss Warren were
trying to make conversation with each otner
when both were filled with repressed excite
ment. Neither referred to the incident which
had so recently occurred in Mr.. Lawrence's
office. but of course it was uppermost IN
the minds of both. They INDUCED in sur
face talk, and their observations were MADE
principally on the most commonplace Things
in the most commonplace way. Both were
relieved when the luncheon was finally end
ed and they were nearing Miss Warren's
office again. -,
II don't work on Saturday afternoon,
Miss Warren was saying, 'but think will
run in to see if Mr. Lawrence does want
me to do little something"
1t was only after she was alone and on
her way to her hotel again that Amelie fell
to wondering and specializing on the proba-
BILE effect of the accident which exposed her
beloved record to the cold, suspicious gaze
of the three people in that hateful office.
If they had believed that she had the miss
ing record before, how much more strongly
they must believe it now. And the profes-
sor! What would he think?
She spent the afternoon attending to some
shopping commissions which had been en-
trusted to her by friends back in Merry
Vile, and returning to the hotel late in the
afternoon found the professors telephone
call awaiting her. Before he had spoken
dozen words she knew that he had not
heard of the accident in Mr.. Lawrences
office. He said he had told his mother about
her and that she wished very much to see
her. He explained that his mother was an
invalid unable to leave her chair, and ne
offered this in explanation of what ne
termed his Second presumptuous request,
which was that she come out the next after
noon, which was Sunday. to his SUBURBAN
home for visit to his mother. She could
not resist. or at least she did not

and he looked very attentively at the pin in
the lace at her throat.
"That is my little French grandmother"
she said, unpinning the treasure and pass
ing it over to him. at is really very beau
tiful as you will see. She was my mothers
mother and l remember her just little. l
have told you about her home in the old
French quarter of New Orleans. She had a
country home called The Camelias This
home was burned during the war, but my
mother told me about it many times. The
family went every year when the camelias
were in full hloom-long rows of them
along the avenue leading from the big gate
to the old colonial residence, and groves of
them all over The place-pink and white and
red"
The professor held the miniature in his
hand and listened as she talked.
"But really we must go" she said, and he
gave the treasure back into her hands and
said:
81 am thoughtless to keep you, but it has
been delightful to hear you talk l must
ask you to forgive me-
But he thought of how silent she had been
of how little she had told him. And he
was quite sure that this did not prompt him
to say as they smiled goodnight into each
others eyes, that he wanted to see her again
before she left New York.
