MYRTLE rose in the morning, az was
O'Clock, carefully made her bed,
dressed, and walked for an hour upon
the terrace. These early diurnal wan
derings were tempered with q certain
sadness, although she was always
finding something new-new beauties
or new sores-in this amazing spot to
which she had been transported. To
MYRTLE. whose life as yet was com
posed mainly Of externals, everything
was beautiful. The sun warmed her
with the promise of love. She was
never tired Of watching the little
waves breaking upon the sandy strip,
and the million scintillating lights
upon the bay. She looked up with .
glad smile at the silent hotel: where
Gerald was sleeping. Perhaps he was
dreaming Of her at that very moment.
Love had crept into her life and
found her very ignorant AS yet 1t was
a beautiful and simple thing. That II
was capable of change and division
never even occurred to her. She loved
Gerald and, although he sometimes
disappointed her, ii must be that Ger
aid loved her. She had few doubts
about il ALL His attitude often puzzled,
sometimes even distressed her, but she
put his vagaries down to her own lack
Of understanding She was convinced
that all would be well when she saw
more OF him, and she harbored dull
sense Of resentment against Chris
TOPPER, who she believed was always
working for some unknown reason to
keep them apart.
At half-past eight she returned to
her rooms and deliberately attacked q
great mass Of sewing, which was sent
to her daily from the hotel, and the
payment for which, by arrangement,
provided her with board and lodging.
From that time UPWARDS. she sat In
the window with but one hOpe-the
hope of seeing Gerald. Once or twice
he had come and taken her out 70

ing In his visits. He presented him
sef every morning at about the same
time, and even II Gerald appeared, he
always accompanied him. Despite her
resentment against him, it was always

to watch his tall, broad-shOuldered fig

Tells Story of Wind

AT one Of the great meteorological
~0bservatories there has been set up a
self-recording thermometer. Wind is
simply air In movement, and the pres
sure that this more or less rapidly
moving air exerts upon a certain area
can be measured. In the case of the
windmill the wings of the mill move
more swiftly in proportion Il the pow
er of the wind. This thermometer is
not unlike the windmill. 1t consists
Of horizontal, easily rotated crossbars,
on each of the four ends Of which a
cup half spherical In shape is fastened.
The wind catches in these cups and so
turns the crossbar. From the cross.
bar a rod goes into the instrument
room. The rotation of the cup works
a mechanism that moves a strip of
paper upon whicl the velocity of the
wind is plotted. The direction Of the
wind is also marked by the apparatus,
as the vane Is connected with the reg.
istering sheet. II Is a simple matter

and velocity of the wind.

Prisoner Had Novel
Excuse for LeGU;no

The Dunsnns Of Borneo have never
grown up. At least to a considerable
degree their minds are like those of
children. They are, however, both in
genious and naive. To illustrate those
traits Mr.. /. III. n. Evans in his book,
Among Primitive Peoples In Borneo,"
tells this story:
The prisoners at Kotabelud used to
be taken down to the river on Sunday
to wash their clothes and to battle; a
policeman armed With a loaded car
III would always be in charge of the
gang. One day when the guard was
asleep a prisoner dropped quietly off
the raft on which the others were
washing and let the current carry him
to a small island, where he landed and
hid himself.
When the policeman had finished his
snooze he collected his prisoners and
marched them back without noticing
that he was a man short. When the
relief guard appeared, however, ne
counted them, and, not finding the cor
rect number, asked for an explanation,
which of course the first policeman
was unable to give.
Meanwhile the missing man lay
safely concealed on the island until
he saw the other prisoners return to
the jail then he slipped quietly into
he river again, swan to the opposite
bank and started across country.
When the matter was reported to
the European officer In charge Of the
post he had the sleepy policeman pun.
ished, and then started to find the
prisoner. He emit policemen to the
runaway's village to make inquiries,
as an escaped prisoner nearly always
travels straight for home. Sure
enough, the policemen found him
there.
ON being charged with running way
he replied he had not tried to escape,
but that while bathing In the river he
had suddenly remembered that he had
not paid his poll tax to the govern
mcnt for that year; he had returned
TO his village merely in order to get

The very thought was funny.

Pig thought he would listen. Mrs.
Cow was herself fond of food and per-
haps there would be something in her
talk about "A new goody in the way of
food which had just been discovered.
