 After the meal she poured herself small cup of black coffee. AS she raised it to her lips she lifted her eyes and looked once more at Her bert Waterbury. Deliberately she let her eyes lie in his for a long moment
 She signed her check, tipped the waiter generously, and with cer- tain air of defiance walked out of the dining-room feeling Waterbury's s eyes upon her as she went.
 Out of doors the night was black. There was a high wind, and the ocean that had been so calm at sun down roarcd. In the radiance from the lights along the Boardwalk May could see the white foam along the edge of the breakers.
 She threw her lace scarf around r1,. r1a la along in the direction of the Am bassador hotel, that dimly loomed in the distance.
 The Boardwalk was almost de. serted. Later on the gay crowds would he out again, on their way to the brilliantly lighted thcaters and movies that faced the sea.

ISSUES PAMPHLET : 0N HIGHWAY LAWS
State Department Prints Resume '" Of Revised Statutes
Hartford. Aue. 1 (P(-New hiph.

Hartford. Aug. 1 R}-New high way laws Of Connecticut. as revised by the legislature of 1925, have been compiled in pamphlet form by the state highway department for gen. eral distribution throughout the state.
 The department proposes to send copies of the booklet to officials of every town in the state, as well as to divisional offices of the depart ment, as there are a number of new statutes affecting relations of towns to the state In the matter of state aid roads. financial arrangements for construction of roads and bridges, and the matter of illegal advertising signs along highway rights of way.
 Qualification of all the state sta- tutes concerning highways by the recent session of the legislature re- suited in the repeal of several sec- tions which were revised and re- classified. These are listed in the booklet.
 A feature of the revised laws is the provision authorizing the high way commissioner to re-establish the boundaries of any state aid or trunk line system when it Is found that the original boundary lines have become lost or are uncertain. In several cases 1t has been found that the states rights of way on certain highways had become uncertain since the road was originally mapped out. and the new enactment Is de- signed to give the state power tc rectify errors of this nature by con- demnation. Hereafter the boundary lines will be, marked by a uniform and distinctive type of marker.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

The lobby of the hotel was tlool- cd with the rich sunlight O. late afternoon and filled with smartly- dressed men and women. At one end of it an orchestra was playing something low and sweet and haunting.
 Suddenly May remembered what 1t was-the old "Destiny" waltz that had been so popular in 1914 at the out uthreak of the great war. "Destiny Fate l won der what mine Is 10 be- she thought. And as if in answer to her thought, her eyes at thar in- stant fell on the famlliIr figure of The Man from the Train! He was standing at the desk, reg istcring for his room.
 A little laugh shook in 2,ay s throat as she went fo2war1 and stood beside him. From one corner l of her eye she watched han as he dashed his name across the open book Herbert Waterbury. Brookline, Massachusetts"
 "What a nice name." thought May. Point by point she took him in his sunburned skin and hair, the loose clothes le wore, the expensive pigskn kitbag no carried,

 And not one nickel of it was she going 10 save. If it's all gone by 1 the end of the year and 1 haven't found the husband l want I can al- ways go back to typowritng, she decided, comfortably, a half hour later as she stood at window of her room. "Bcsides, l still have my house. I do hope that Forgan man sells 1t soon ."
 | Her thoughts touched lightly upon l lysses for moment, then settled themselves upon the handsome man she had just seen in the lobby. "Herbcrt Waterbury" she rcpcat- ct the name aloud.
 And it was with him in mind that she sat down before the mirror to dress for dinner

Machine Tests Intellect

A machine which automatically tests
human intelligence and records the re-
suit entirely mechanically was demon
strated before the American Psyche
logical association meeting at Wash
ington recently by DR.. S. L. Pressey
Of Ohio State university. BY simply
pressing a key the person tested re-
vealed his mentality or lack Of 1t, says
the Boston Globe.
Questions of the sort commonly used
in intelligence tests were used. A
question with four different answers,
one of which was correct. was shown
the subject and he merely had to in
dictate his choice by pressing one of
four keys. The question and answers
appeared successive in window.
When he pressed the key new ques-
ton turned up in the window, and If
the proper key had been pressed a
counter recorded the success.
By simple adjustment of the ap-
paratus, it was so readiusted that a
new question appeared only when the
first one was answered correctly, while
the counter recorded all attempts.
