Chatterton ignored her. She
was shivering a little, for the sun
had disappeared behind a menacing
bank of clouds which was piling up
swiftly, and the wind blew cold.
The olive woods through which the
road wound looked bleak and dark.
A storm was brewing.
A binding flash of lightning
flickered from the sky.
The mule reared on his launches
and leapt forward like wild thing.
Great drops of tepid rain began to
fall. The mountainside was hid
den in black and quivering mist.
"This beast won't stand light
ming" Chatterton said suddenly,
"And the road seems to skirt some
kind of precipice ahead. Get
down, Judy, quick"
He was dragging with all his
strength at the reins. The road
had begun an abrupt descent, and
the mule-a tall, big-boned brute
was sweating and trembling
with fright.
"Jumpr Observation-Disclosures.
A ribbon of dazzling lightning
was followed by crash of thunder
which, in the confined space of the
valley, sounded apocalyptic. Judy
stepped to the road, and Chatterton
sprang after her. In the same mo-
ment the terrified mule leapt head
long down the steep road, and, with
the light carriage swaying behind
it in a spume Of dust and stones,
disappeared in the deeping gloom,
leaving Chatterton staring after it.

shook her head when he motioned

said.

The lightning made a phosphore-

came the rip of a stricken tree.
Judy flinched. Even as child
she had always hated lightning.

he had conle-though he was UNI
aware of the geography of the
island-as the crow flies.
The village people glanced Gu
riously from their windows at this
big-shouldered foreigner with the
strong and eager face. AS he
reached the plastered walls of the
monastery, the gateway opened and
Father Giovanni, the village priest,
emerged. The sight of Chatterton
caught the priests fingers midway
between his nose and snuff-box,
and he paused with an expression
of confusion on his rosy face at
being thus surprised in fleshly in
diligence. Chatterton stopped
dead, making a curt and rather
clumsy salutation. o.

daughter of the good van Open
should thus honor us before the
larger festivities in San MARITIME

"The house! where is it?"
The good priest stepped back in
alarm at Chatterton's snapped
question. His plump forefinger
pointed dumbly, and Chatterton,
following its direction, saw the
house among the expresses.
He was across the whitewashed
bridge that spanned the chasm and
in the Swallowed court yard min
ute later. A lean dog flew at him
from some hidden kennel and he
kicked its iowl with his heavy boot,
savagely and enjoyably, sending it
bowling back. His brown eyes,
alert and contracted, scanned the
windows and gray doorway.
He was conscious of a simple

The storm had come with tropical
suddenness and the rail fell in
drenching volume, whilst the mar
row valley was turned into Wal
purgis night by the vivid lightning
and crashing thunder.
Chatterton's quick glance fell
upon a sheer face of rock which
was visible some distance away,
where the hillside seemed to have
been sliced naked by some gigantic
knife. Such rock-faces, which
were numerous on the island, were
often honeycombed with caves

Thought Comes Too Lote

Formal and official city planning is
comparatively a new art in this coun-
try Most American cities have been
allowed to grow in a haphazard way,
and the way is usually to their disad-
vantage in attractiveness and con
venience 1t is only after they are
we'll established that residents usually
begin to think of the future develop
ment and to regret earlier mistakes
To correct all the unWise features and
to remove or reconstruct obstructive
anI ugly buildings is too costly an
undertaking, and for the most part the
planning that can then be done looks
to the suburban growth and to public
and business structures that, as time
and progress go on, are necessary to
replace old ones.

Plant Flou,ers

"The tenant who has flowers grow
ing in his front yard is the future
home owner" observes O. Fl. Funsten,
first president of the Richmond (Pa.)
Real Estate exchange. Esthetic deco
ration of the home, and the deep-root-
ed instinct to merge the house with its
surroundings through the planting of
shrubbery probably date back to the
nicely trained vines near the opening
of the first cave, the National Associ-
alton of Real Estate Boards suggests.
Wasn't it the vine and the fig tree that
announced to the primitive world in
general, This abode belongs to some
one?
