With that she began TO walk for
ward slowly, pushing aside branches
as she went, and conscious that she
was coming nearer and nearer to the
sound of rushing water. The rush
of it roared in her ears almost deafen-
ingly. 1t made even her thinking
strangely confused. She was still con-
scious Of being afraid. but she refused
to admit 1t and resolutely pressed on.
And then quite suddenly an amazing
thing happened. Up to that time
Fay's eyes had been fastened on the
trail ahead and she had looked
neither to the left nor right. Now
as she glanced suddenly to the right
her heart leaped to her throat. and
Tor moment she was faint and dizzy.
AT first 1t seemed that her eyes were
deceiving her. 1t was a trick of the
must be. and yet. and yet
Cautiously she edged toward the
right where the trees were thinning
and the underbrush was less dense.
And then suddenly she found herself
looking down. down into lirnitless
space. She had had no suspicion that
she had been walking along the edge
of a precipice. Until now the trees
had formed an efficient screen. From
somewhere below came the roar of
falling water, and yet she could see
nothing. The ledge upon which she
was walking interfered, and quite sud
denly it came to her that she might
be in danger.

Again Fay came to Il fork in the
trails and again she stopped TO listen.
The sound of rushing water seemed

trail to the right looked almost i'm
penetrable. In spite of her vaunted
courage and independence a feeling
Of premonition crept over her. After
all, she did not want to take any
unnecessary risks and she had a feel
Ing that seemed to warn her against
taking the trail to the right.
Quite suddenly as she stood there
she had a sensation of imminent dan
ger, The whole place seemed to be
full of rushing, oninous sounds, the
air was heavy and oppressive and she
was conscious of the fact that her
heart was beating very hard and fast,
and that she was actually trembling.

Immediately by the summoning up

over her. Il thought that was suddenly

And with this determination she
began hurriedly to collect nine cones
TO mark the path she had taken.
But even when she had heaped her
cones at the forking of the paths,
she stood for a moment uncertainty,
her face turned toward the right.
Something. something strange. and
formidable kept her from pressing
on. The path to the right had sinis-

ehere hesitating, and then with an
impatient shrug OF her shoulders she
forced another laugh.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

The planetary aspects which are
overcast this afternoon and evening
assume an adverse character tomor-
row, and continue so until after sun
down, when they become benign. al.
though not actively auspicious. Dur.
ing the day there will be every incen-
tive to become querulous and grouchy.
Suspicion and jealousy will also
make their presence felt. While there
will be nothing tangible to interfere
with the Conscientious carrying out of
customary obligations. there will be
nothing to justify the exploration of
unknown fields of endeavor. 1t is an
unpropitiouS occasion for travel,
signing contracts, or for the consum-
nation of any act of Importance.
Children born tomorrow Will be
gifted with good constitutions and
remarkable ability TO withstand the
effects Of illness. They will not be
immune to sickness, but their mar
velous recuperative powers will save
them, where a weaker one might sue
cumb. In disposition, they will be
easily amenable to environment and
influence. They will prove tractable
and obedient. When, however. the
obedience demanded does not nit in
with their ideas of what is right and
proper, they will show a disposition to
their studies, but will always manage
to get by" They will not show any
special gifts of intelligence, but will
always be able to get from the world
that which they think it owes them.
If tomorrow Is your birthday, you
are, without being arGumentattve,
very cocksure of your own opinions,
and these are Of positive and rather
extreme nature. You are naturally
secretive, not only about your own
affairs, but especially about those of
others, and have never been known
to violate the confidence of a friend.
You are self-contained and self-suffi-
cient, very rarely seeking or accepting
advice. This is a natural result of
your fanatical belief in yourself and
your own ability.
You are thoroughly trustworthy
and reliable, possessing exceptional
intelligence and remarkable powers
cere, and never make any pretense
of liking people who do not interest
you.
Your home life should be very at
tractive, unless you have chosen, or
should choose, a mate who judges
and measures love by words and
caresses. and not by deeds and
thoughtfulness.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Oliver Nolcott. soldier and
statesman; Benjamin Champney, ar
tist; Charles G.. IIaipine, soldier and
humorist; John Russell Young, jour
nalist and authors John NJ. Coulter,
educator; Josiah Royce, educator and

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Hot Toddy."

Even in these prohibition days, few
of us are unfamiliar with the mix
ture of spirits and hot water popularity
called a "hot toddy." The expression
is q British one, SO commonly used
by the canny Scotsman that its origin
has been assumed by many to be
Scotch.
The fact is, however, that hot
"toddy" is of East Indian ancestry,
signifying originally the sap. usually
fermented of various East Indian
palms. fhe word "toddy" harks back
to the Hindu "tari," which is the
juice of the Palmyra and to whose
pronunciation in the native tongue
.'toddy" bears 4 close resemblance.
1t is easily comprehensive how the
term for the native fermented bever-
age should have become AngliciZed by
Britishers resident in India who car
ried it back to "Blighty" where it be-
came a popular member of the Ian
guage which is also our own!

Height Of the nose indicates ideals:
oreadth announces comprehensive
ness; length gives caution, far.sighted-

dimensions of height, breadth and
length, when combined in the nose
In q large measure and with good

The nose Of an athlete is bony.
1t is firm, well modelled and rounded
more than square. 1t is composed ror
the most part of bone. cartilage and
muscle. but the bony structure ott-
weighs the others. Coupled with these
will be large, distended nostrils. which
are signs of powerful heart and
lungs. This form of nose is found
on bold, aggressive, dauntless and
courageous persons.

Fortunately the new mode offers excel

not skinny bits of lace, but enough
lace so that it can be draped and ma

u revival of interest in lace collars and
