is urged by an English comrade
in arms, Eversby Benham. to visit
the Benham home and meet the
Englishman's mother and sister.
and, incidentally, Brena Selcoss,
young woman about whom there
is an air of mystery. Muriel Ben
ham. Eversby's sister, becomes
infatuated with Peter, but he Is
interested only in the mysterious
Brena Selcoss. The feeling be-
tween Peter and Brena ripens
into love. Brena confesses that
she is married and that her hus-
band has vanished. Brenas
life story is out of the ordinary.
Her father had been forced to
leave Greece because of revolu-
tionary affiliations, and his death,
following quickly upon that of
his wife, leaves Brena penniless,
at Dallas, Texas. She secures
work, and meets Jim Hennepin.
He falls in love with her. He
urges her to meet him in st.
Louis. Brena returns to Dallas
alone. Compton Parmalee, Hen
nepin's employer, tells Brena
Hennepin's intentions toward her
were dishonorable. Parmalee
makes Brena an offer of mar
riage. After reflection, she ac-
cepts the offer. They are mar
ried. At the railroad station,
Immediately following the cere-
mony, Parmalee is seized with
apparently uncomfortable fear.
Brena shows her husband scrap
of paper Hennepin had given her.
On it is a figure which Parmalee
tells her is the "Kuk-ul-can,
symbol of the Mayas. He APP

He rushed out of the room.
Night after night she heard him
pacing his study floor beneath her
room. He walked twenty PAGES one
way, twenty at right angles, twenty
more, twenty more. She had learned
the count. He was pacing off square
around his big, paper-laden desk in
the center of the room. She went to
sleep with that sound of Gagged ami
NAL in her ears; she awoke in the
middle of the night when the moon
of summer threw the shadows of the
plumed branches of the great trees
upon her floor, hearing that faithful
beat Of footsteps she could recall,
awaking when the bright sunlight was
prying at the shutters on the western
windows to hear the measure of his
pacing.
Once she had awakened in the night
and heard no sound. She had crept
downstairs and peered into his study.

window sill. only his eyes above, like
a man in ambush, or like one who ex-

Jerome X. Jerome, who says Sir J..

the Strand Magazine:
Once beautiful but nervous young

With the sole au gratin, Barrie broke
the silence:

Barrie made no comment. He went

again.

Barrie's great deep eyes.

After that they both lapsed into
silence.

Money to Burn in italy

minister of finance during the past few
months has been presiding at bonfires
of Italian paper money. About bill
lion lire in bank notes and currency
bills have been burned up already, and
billion will be destroyed in the same
way. This withdrawal from circula
ton of an enormous amount of paper
money is expected to prevent imitation
and help the national credit. Italy is

any dangerous depreciation of her cur

NTOXICATION is CAUSE OF
SLEEP SAT THE SCIENTISTS

Washington.-A theory that sleep
may be the result of intoxication and
that by cultivating better habits hu-
manity may lessen the hours so spent
was advanced by George Washington
university scientists who conducted a
recent test on eight students
The finding was tentative and the
research work will be continued but
meanwhile the scientists say that if
the results pointed to any one theory
of sleep it was said to be the result
of natural intoxication, caused by the
storing of poisons in the human sys-
tenn during the wakeful hours.
When the drunkard becomes in
toxicated, they said, he sleeps and
generally wakes up detoxified. In
the case of the students, microscopical
examination showed their blood
changes corresponded to those of a
drunken man, and that their trouble
was cured by a short period of sleep.
The students were kept awake for
sixty hours. It was, found that in
sonmia played havoc with the visual
senses, phantems being reported by
some and various distortion of objects
by others. A single nights loss of
sleep did not affect the ability of the
subjects to drive automobiles, but
they became rather dangerous drivers
on the second night This was ex-
planned as due to their tendency to
drop off to sleep while listening to
the rythm of the motor Their men
tai, faculties and muscles remained up
to standard.
1t is quite possible, the scientists
said, that through force of habit one
person is able to obtain hundred
units Of sleep in one-half the time re-
quired by others.
In short" they said, "slcep has not
only length, but depth
IF this assumption be true the
length of time that people sleep IS
very largely a question Of habit. It
might be possible to cause their sleep
ing mechanisms to work faster, just
as by a series of conditioned reflexes
we can make the saliyary glands work
faster"
