 As the door closed upon Katie, Dicky and l eyed each other warilY much, l told myself. as might two Kilkenny cats, temporarily inter rupted in q feline argument.
 "Of course you cant accept her offer" Dicky said at least, although IL was mighty sporting Of her to make it.
 "On the contrary" I returned spiritcdly, T think her plan, with modilication--of course l cant let her wash and clean on her rest days will work out very well. am well and strong, and housework is something l like to do, But there is one stipulation I must make, Mother must have her trip South, 1 can manage that, l am sure, no matter how little you send me"
 There you go, visionary as usual" Dicky snared, forgetting in his anger what he alwaye admits my ability to manage his income, and his own racticability. How are you going to manage that, may 1 be permitted to ask?"

 TWO thousand dollars" Dicky re- peated dazedly. Then to my sur prise, his face darkened.

 His investment had failed. My fathers had succeeded. He was compelled to ask me to retrench, while I because of my fathers gift was able to give his mother the de- sire of her heart which he had had 10 deny her. This was the reason for his snarling speech.
 But though there was no fierce anger in my heart there was dull resentment at Dickys whole atti- tude. and I was not sorry to end an interview which could yield no pleasure or profit for either of us.

Deepest Point in Ocean
; Near Japan

The lowest known point on the
earths crust. the deepest known
trench in the ocean. lies about l+5
miles southeast of Toxic. This dis
covery. made recently by the Japa-
nese naval survey ship Manshu. has
been announced by the navy author
tiles.
The new "deep" measures 1886
feet. or more than six niles. 1t eX-
ceeds by 54S feet the hitherto great
est known ocean depth. the famous
Marianne trench in which the United
States naval ship Nero in 1899 found
32.0SS feet off the east coast of the
island Of Mindanao in the Philippines.
The Manshu's deep" apparently
lies at the bottom of precipitous
declivity descending sha, ply acout 100
miles from the southeastern coast of
the main island of japan. To the
Japanese the first interest in the dis
covery lies In the seismic poss;bili-
ties Of this trench so near their
coasts. The sharpness with which
the ocean bed plunses few miles
from Japan IS held by scientists to
be contributing factor TO the severe
earthquakes which visit this part Of
the country.
