CHAPTER III

The name of Peter DeWolfe, u. S.
A., was upon the register of the Garlic
ton hotel, written in a hand puiposeIy
scrawled and blotched to prevent any
one in the fiux of diplomats, army Off
GERS, correspondents and gentlemen
adventures, the classes from which
this rich New York bachelor drew q
large and almost affectionate acouaint-
ance, from believing through his door
to come down to the bar.
He was waiting for steamer that
had made up her mind frequently not
to leave Liverpool for another five
days. Two nights he had spent al
ready in London where, if he had
wished, he might have dined at at
least one of half a dozen recognized
homes, had luncheons with a Russian
x-ambassador or Tommy Caminthorn
of the war office, or Boleby Broke, the
critic who writes the reviews for the
International Gazette, or taken break
fast with Mrs. Holderee Rabb, the
widow of certain maharajahs son
who had gone wrong at Oxford. He
had an inclination, however, to write
verses and wander by himself through
the naughty jam of soldiers and yell

clouds in the sky change their con-
tours; a human being whose personal
ity belonged, it appeared, to the kind
of personalities which are found usu-
ally only inla deep forest, or belong
to a pinnacled mountain range. Any
detail was nothing.
'.She has come to see my mother"
said Muriel
80 she has!" admitted Mrs. Ben
ham, heaming out through the window.
Il might have known who it was. I
heard a high-powered car. But she
doesn't like to be driven almost into
our dining room, so she stopped on the
South wing. Let's go into fathers den,
Peter Bring the cigars in there, Lucy"
No protest appeared possible. Mrs.
Benham had beamed and nodded, and
the American could not very graciously
say, "Oh, no. / want to stay"
He turned once as he left the dining
room. The woman outside was still
waiting at the door for Mrs. Benham to
waddle to TIE latch, the waterfall OF
light still covering her, still looking in,
apparently at Peter, and with smile
and warmth thrown toward him like a
message from her great dark eyes.
He could not wipe away the impress
sion of that look. In it there had been
call, an understanding, a password, a
magic formula. To shake it off he
walked nervously about Sir Austin's

Il must see YOU"

Though some Indians were more
proficient at it than others, and the
methods of some tribes we're more adj
vanced than those Of others, there
was very little secret about the max
ing OF warlike implements, and all the
indians knew how. Flints and similar
stones were used not so much because
of their hardness as for the reason
they coulu be faxed off and fashioned
into desired shapes as arrow, lance,
spear or harpoon heads, knives, saws
or scrapers. The flint was to be found
in open fields, bowlder beds and else
where, and the tribes camped occa
sionally near the larger supplies to
break off with rocks or hammers the
quantities and sizes of flint chips
needed. These were carried home, to
be faxed off and worked into shape
with the aid Of sharp-pointed nipple
ments Of bone. The waste and refuse
Of the process, as well as the tools
employed in it, have often been found
on the sites of early Indian dwellings.

Judge Blank has a six-year-old niece
of whom he is very proud. The other
day she came to him with a serious air
and said: "Uncle Robert, if man
had a peacock and 1t went into another
mans yard and laid an egg, who would
the egg belong TOT" The judge smiled
indulgently and replied: "Why, the
egg would belong to the man who
owned the peacock; bur he could be
prosecuted for trespassing If he went
on the others property to get it," The
child seemed very much interested in
the explanation, then she observed
with an innocent expression: Uncle,
did it. ever occur to you that peacock
couldn't lay an egg ?'-Boston Tran

What Your Ewes Tell

We are told that the eyes of the
intellectual man are gray, and it is a
fact that most men of genius have
gray eyes. Brown eyes are said to
express temperament rather than in
tellect.
Although brown eyes flash with an
ger, light up with joy, and change
swiftly with jealousy, blue and gray
eyes can express greater sadness.
Green and black eyes are supposed
to be the most wicked. Becky Sharp's
green eyes played an important part
in her various conquests.
The 'vamp''. in modern fiction usual
ly possesses flashing eyes of either
green or black. Actually, there are
no black eyes; dark brown or dark
gray eyes have the appearance of be-
ing black in certain lights.

Exceptions to Theory

The recapitulation theory is the
theory that a parallel exists between
the embryonic development OF an in
dividual and the historical evolution
Of its race. This parallel is explained
by the theory of evolution, according
to which, in the words of Sedgwick,
'sthe development history of the indi-
vidual appears to be short and sim
plifed repetition, or, in a certain
sense, a recapitulation of the course
Of development Of the species The
theory is correct to limited extent in
the case of many animals, but there
are many deviations due to the adap-

Ancient Juniper Tree

What is believed to be the Oldest
Juniper tree in the world is now being
protected by the forest service, United
States Department Of Agriculture, ac-
cording to word received from the
Cache National forest in northern
Utah. A careful examination Of the
tree by scientists from the Utah Ag-
ricultural college and by Forest SUI
pervisor Carl B. Arentson shows the
age of the tree to be not less than
5000 years, thus placing this tree on
a par with some Of the big redwood
trees in California which have so
often been spoken of as the oldest
living things on earth"

could be-just as red as Wallets were
white.
The smile disappeared the moment
the electric lamp above the outer door
just behind the French windows threw
down its light like an overturned
bucket Of yellow liquid. A woman was
standing there, and Peter believed that
as she had stood In the dark, unseen,
she had been looking straight into his
face. She wore no hat and her hair
piled up in immense snake-like coils
was the color of certain frost-turned
leaves of autumn which are neither
red nor gold, but both colors at once.
"Her Irish mother!" he almost said
aloud He knew by her hair and her
great dark eyes in which, even from a
distance, there appeared the expec-
fancy or fear described by young Ben
ham, The British officer had not over
drawn her beauty. There was a still
grandeur about it, permanence, a
thing making it awful as well as allur-

She stood in the posture which Peter
learned later to know was characteris-
tic-a posture of one who waits with
resignation. For what? Heaven knows.
Perhaps for a reincarnation into a life
less troubled, less besmirched with
small affairs.

not be described in detail, and her
clothes made no impress, though their

other case might have left vivid pic
