some purpose, it had crept into the
night-misted DAY of San MARITIME.
She gripped the riot of speculation
that rose unbidden within her, and
waited. Perhaps half an hour
passed. Then the shadow of
small boat detached itself from the
ashen shape of the schooner and
drew towards the shore. 1t came
to the landing steps of the quay,
directly beneath where she must
have been visibly outlined in the
moonlight to its occupants. Abb
ruptly girl rose upright within it
and stepped lightly ashore. She
came forward towards Judy, stop
ped, and peered into her face.
"Who are your"
The question left Judy's lips me-
chanically. She and the girl who
had come out of the sea-mist were
gazing at each other in odd silence.
Judy saw a brown-haired girl, with
features clean-cut as a cameo for
all their tanned and weather.
beaten color. The hazel eyes were
wise and watchful, though they
were those of a schoolgirl. And
the mouth-she had seen that deli
cate, humorous mouth on thin
and dying face in great four

81 know" she whispered, with
great revelation.
The girl nodded slowly.
"My names Maisie Mcleod"
she said. at was Maisie van
Open before l married. And
you're the girl who is masquerad-
ing as me, / guess. Aren't you?
Judy stepped back. For
second moonlight and mist and
Maisie van Open all danced be-
fore her eyes. She caught at the
rail of the quay.
You're ill.," Maisie van Open
said, catching her quickly.

Judy shook her head. She was
feeling a deadly nausea, and her
brain seemed to have turned into
feathers. Yet, until that moment,
she had thought it was only
anaemic factory-girls who tainted,
since the death of Queen Victoria.
'I'm all right" she said uncer-
tainly. "You had better come up
too your palazza to talk-unless
you'd rather arrest me right
away"
She smiled forcedly. The blood
was coming back into her white
cheeks.
al came ashore for that"
Maisie van Open said. ITO talk,
not to arrest. / don't have a po-
liceman on this ship, though two
private detectives came aboard
her at Frisco to see about the
stolen schoolgirl-which was me.
But this isn't talking in the
palazza, is it, reckon we've both
long stories to tell"
She turned to the boat, which
still waited, and spoke. 1t disap-
peared with noiseless oars in the
direction of the schooner.
"Come along, little Maisie-num-
ber-two," the girl said. "Take me
to our palazza. / only meant to
step ashore on poor pops island
tonight just to see what it felt like
underfoot again. But l can't
wait"
She spoke lightly. Yet Judy
saw her mouth culver, and felt
the hand on her arm tremble.
They passed silently up the ter
race-steps and into the building.
1t was when they reached her
rooms that Judy turned uncon-
trollably.
"If you'd come only half-a-day
earlier" she whispered. ooh, if
you only had"

"I,n go out and look at my

'Ill go out and look at my
my island"
She laughed rather brokenly and
crept down the white-terraced
steps into the fragrant garden.
She wondered then whether the
soul of Ezra van Open might see
her and pity the mixture of folly
and obstinacy which made her try
to carry out the death-bed promise
she had given him.
1t was night, when San MARITIME
was indeed an isle of enchantment.
A thin mist lay over the land and
sea, through which the moonlight
filtered, yellow and tranquil. 1t
swathed the two headlands above
the bay, and turned them to in
subtantial ghosts. 1t hung Cos
mer veil over the sleeping town,
and gave Judy an odd sense of
being the only living soul upon
the island.
Like a phantom ship, small
three-masted schooner was creep
ing through the mist into the bay.
Her sails were fully set and just
filling with the faint night-air as
she came forward, grey and grace
full, towards the close-in anchorage.
But for the glow of her pinnacle
light she might have been wrath
for all the sound she made. The
incrusted salt upon her sides,
which glistened in the moonbeams,
told of long voyage.
The creak of blocks sounded,
and the ship swung lightly with
her mainsail dropping. A sharp
command, in a mans voice, floated
across the water. The rattle of
the anchor-chain followed.
Judy remained standing ike a
statue in the mist. Slowly, but
clearly, the realization came upon
her that this was no vagrant coast
ing-ship. Deliberately, and for

CHAPTER XVIII

TUDY KINSELLA had not
stirred from her room in the
palazza for almost five hours.
Barely had she even moved from
the chair where she sat, huddled
slightly, save to drink the tea
which a soft-footed servant had
brought. The turquoise daylight
faltered and changed to shell-pink,
then died away to a night Of stars.
The moon began to rise over the
rim Of the headlands.
Still Judy did not stir, but sat
with her chin on the palm Of her
hand.

She hid her face in her hands.
Presently she looked up. Maisie
van Open was leaning upon the
small table, watching her in 81
lence.
Judy began to speak. In the
midnight silence of the sleeping

of clear hazel, her words sounded

WHY Leaves Fall In Autumn

Many of the colors found on the
foliage in the autumn do not arise dur
ing this season, but become visible
only at this time after the green color
ing matter, the chlorophy1, has disap-
peared. In the fall, when the vitality
of the plant is reduced, a migration
of those substances in the leaf takes
place, which may be of use at flu
ture time, and these are stored in the
twigs. The products left in the leaf,
producing as they do the autumn col
Grafton, are of no further use to the
plant; in fact, it is of great advantage
to be rid of such waste substances so
easily Nothing is suddenly produced
when the leaves begin to fall, which
has not already been formed; nothing
occurs which is not followed by es-
sential results. The cause. is not found
! in. the universal cycle of life. Neither
does the leaf follow the mighty down
ward pull of mother earth in order to
give back that which was taken from
her These are not the causes; they
are the results. Tree and shrub have
prepared themselves for months for
the coming loss of leaves; they them
selves have produced, by certain
formation within the plant, a partition,
which gradually shuts off the leaf
from the mother plant, thus booming
the leaf to slow and lingering death.
The falling of the leaves is caused
by the diminution and the final stop
ping OF the flow of sap to the leaves.
The willing, the changing to black,
brown, yellow and red is not caused
by freezing, but by drying out.
Frost only occurs after the last winter
asters have withered away; and at the
same time all trees and shrubs are
bare, lifting their leafless twigs and

FARM BOYS TOO BUSY
TO ATTEND SCHOOL
FIGURES TAKEN FOR DECADE
STRIKINGLY SUGGESTIVE OF
CONTEMPORARY EVENTS.

The BOYS are busy on the farm. That
is the conclusion forced by considera-
ton of attendance figures coming from
the agricultural colleges. These have
been charted: and, taken for ten years,
thew are strikingly suggestive of con
temporary events
Among thirty agricultural schools
the average attendance between 1914
and 1924 dropped from 458 to 289 AT
the University of Illinois, where there
had been LII pupils, there were 64l
AT the University of Wisconsin the
figures fell from 6l6 to 207.
A plotting of the figures, in connec-
ton with a survey OF the facts, shows
big drop in 1917 and 1918. That was
war; the boys were in the army in
stead of school. Then, with peace, at
tendance rose again, almost to pre-
war height, and it will be remembered
that lust then things were slow with
the farmer.
Since 1919 and 1920 the attendance
curve has fallen gradually until now
it is almost as low as in wartime.
The makers of the survey do not say
so, but does this not point to pros
perity on the farm that is keeping the
boys at home, where there is so much
to do that they do not get time TO go
to college.
What other explanation can there
be? There certainly is no sudden IN
difference to the training OF the agr1-
cultural school, There must be a rea-
son; and it must be as real as that
which caused the wartime slump.
1t is material considerations like that
which affect the course of all of us.
1t is not to be denied that agriculture
in the coming years would be better
with the farm boys of today making
full present use of the training which
is to be had if they will take it. But
it is natural for them to turn to work
when work awaits.
The farmer is to be congratulated
on the evidences of we'll being which
are to be observed in agriculture. But
let him not forget that the boy will
be running the farm when he quits,
that the latter will not always have
easy going and that, amid changing
conditions, he will get over the hard
spots better if he has behind him the
boyhood training which he can have
today if he will.
