He found Mr.. Cox without any
trouble He was commonplace-look-
ing little man, and the commonplace
ness was not decreased by the fact
that he wore the cap. As the vessel
of q romantic and clandestine passion
he was disappointing. but there was
sort of belligerent honesty about his
face that Warrington approved OF.

Mr.. Cox wheeled. Yes. l guess

him.
Outside of a jewelers. window down
the street they paused, and Warning

"Shes been sick?" said Mr.. Cox
anxiously. why didn't she send me
word before this?"
II rather gathered that 1t isn't easy
to get word to you"
Easy! I'll tell the world it isn't
easy. How is she now?"
"She's better. She says next week
will be all right. Look here, Mr.. Cox,
why don't you get her out OF there?''
Evening star., 1927-05-26

Get her out? Don't you suppose
would if I could? Haven't I tried
for over year?"
"Then get her." said Warrington
briefly.
Mr.. Cox peered up at him, anxiety
written clearly on his face. why
do you say that?" he demanded. mot
that it's any of your business, but II
you know anything you'd better tell
me-"
His manner was truculent, his voice

Warrington told him. He had all
the average mans objection to inter-
fering in the affairs Of other people,
but the picture Of Aunt Margaret on
the kitchen floor rose In his mind and
cut off all other thoughts. She wasn't
going to try that again, not If he could

quite mad.
Warrington felt ridiculous-ridicu-

Cox away, but he would not be led.
Finally a policeman wandered up, lis.
tened a moment and then touched Mr..
Cox on the arm.
Better go around the corner and
talk about your troubles" he said.
It is doubtful IL Mr.. Cox even heard
what he said. He came to himself,

"Oh, that's all right" said Holly
hastily. You'd better hurry"
Margaret walked away and the ex.
pressman drove Of. Holly stood on
the doorstep with a queer, breathlese
look on her face. Then she turned
and went quietly into the house.
Warrington thought about that q
great deal. The old house was quieter
and more depressing than ever. In
deed, for q week or so there was no
tea table laid in the drawing room
and Mrs. Bayne had her meals In her
bedroom. Holly was carrying trays

he did not look back. She was staring
after him, at his broad shoulders, his
air of solid dependability, with some

she had followed Aunt Margaret that
last day. But he went on.

disappeared into the passage aain.
He went on pondering the situation.
So Margaret had a lover. after all!
Queer! You never could tell whom
the thing would strike. Looking at
her, he'd have said
So that was why he had found her
in the kitchen, almost lifeless! Her

would not let her take it. Well, he
was for her--for her and the Mr.. Cox
who was to meet her outside the Pal
ace Picture House that night. Not a
young man, as she had described him.
He was to have iron gray hair and
probably a soft gray hat, but maybe
a cap. Sometimes he wore a cap; it
was less trouble in the movies. And
he would be walking about. waiting.
He thought a great deal about the
affair as he ate his dinner. He did
not know a great deal about love, but
somehow he had always thought of 1t
as concerning only the young. APP
parently he had been wrong. It went
on and on. One might have 1t at any

even rejecting on Furness Brooks

She said something about only being
there for a minute and then stepped
out onto the paving and looked up at
Mrs. Bayne's windows. They were
lighted and she seemed relieved.

"Why, of course it's all right. Why

"Take your hand on me-" he yelled.
The policeman's smile died. He
held on.
"Then behave yourself" he said.
Suddenly Mr.. Cox hauled OF and
hit him and was promptly placed
under arrest.
At the station house later they only
reprimanded him and let him go, a.
crushed and terribly Inundated little
man, but his name was on the blot

matter. He walked out into the street,
no longer attempting to keep pace
with the taller man, not even talking.
He stopped at the corner, however,

Ell PASO. Tex. May 26.-Once the

For many years the old red brick
building was the home of the El Paso

During the Mexican revolution Of
1916, the carelessness OF one Of its
rrisoners brought death to 35 Of his
companions and himself.
During the threatened epidemic OF
typhus fever prison officials were con-
Quoting a general fumigation. The
entire building was being fumigated
and prisoners bathed with alcohol. A
thoukhtless prisoner struck a match
and Ia addition to the 36 fatalities,

followed.

Peaks That Dot Moon
Gigantic in Height

Though the moon is only about one
quarter the diameter of the earth, its
surface features are on scale so
grand as to dwarf much Of our earth
scenery.
Near the lunar south pole, for ex-
ample, Professor Pickering pointed
out the Liebnitz range of mountains.
"By measuring the shadows cast by
these peaks we find that some Of them
rise from $4,000 to 10000 feet above
the plain" he said.
The earth has Mount Everest as its
highest peak, 29,141 feet altitude and
the earth is several times larger than
the moon. II our terrestrial noun
tains were proportloned to the same
scale as the lunar heights we would
have peaks rising from ten to fifteen
miles above the sea.
On an even vaster scale are some of
the volcanic craters which pit the
moon.
"The crater Newton measures 143
miles in length by 60 miles in width"
said Professor Pickering, "and is
$4,000 feet deep. There are many
lunar craters of more than 50 miles
diameter The largest crater known
on the earth, the Volcano Bay, in
northern Japan, measures only 80
miles in diameter. but II is very ex-
ceptlonal, for the next largest terres.
trial crater is but Is miles across

Superior to Rddiuri
for Special Purpose

In a garden Just outside London is a
curious factory. 1t is little factory
for extracting mesothorium, the sub
stance that has almost entirely re-
placed radlum for making luminous
figures on watch dials and clock faces.
Mesothorium is far cheaper than
radium. and is twice as powerful in
making the phosphorescent paints that
are used on the dials glow. Its draw
back is that It has a shorter life than
radlum, Its power of emitting alpha
rays dying out in a few years.
The mesothorium is obtained from
the rare earths used In the manufac-
ture of incandescent gas nantes. 1t
is chemical process requiring great
skiil, care and patience in gradually
concentrating the radioactive element
from the raw material.
Practically all the mesothorium used
in England is extracted in small lab
oratory in London Doctors garden.

Twenty-four years ago he was q
young mail clerk in the post office at
Charlottenlund, working far into the
light on Christmas Eve distributing
holiday greeting cards and letters. He
saw that as a rule they would go to
comfortable homes, housing happy,
vigorous families. But he knew, too,
that often to those homes where kind
Christmas wishes and good Christmas
leeds were most needed, there likely
would not come even a brief word Of
greeting. An inspiration seized him.
Perhaps by tax on greeting cards
his could be accomplished.
His fertile imagination soon pic
tured a device to encourage the prac-
ice Of holiday cards and put volun-
.aYy tax on 1t, too, and thus in Den
mark was born the idea of the Christ
mas Seal, In 1903
The first sale in the United States
was In 1907 when Miss Emily P. Bis
sell, of Wilmington. Delaware, adopt.
ed the idea to raise funds to maintain
tuberculosis shack of eight beds on
the banks of the Brandywine, securing
$1,000 She in turn had read maya
zine article by the great philanthro-
pist, Jacob A. Riis, describing the
Danish tuberculosis stamp he had re-
ceived on the back Of a letter from
the city of his birth--Copenhagen.
Miss Bissell next aspired to extend
the work by national campaign, and
Interested the American Red Cross.
/ The first national Christmas Seal Sale
occurred in 1908. and brought in
$4,000. Each year since the sum has
increased just as 1t has in Denmark.

Coffee Tasters Need
Keen Taste and Smell

Coffee tasting, as a professional
ability, demands subtlety. There are
only few experts in the world, be-
cause rarely are the senses of taste
and smell Of sufficient natural keen
ness to distinguish coffee bases and
blends and to catalogue accurately the
delicate shades of taste and aroma.
More than hundred different kinds
Of coffee are bought and sold in the
United States, according to Maj. Fred
eric Mclaughlin, coffee importer and
noted sportsman. The expert who
buys, blends and finally tastes coffee
not only knows the characteristics Of
Mocha, Java, Santos, Guatemala and
coffee grown In other districts; he is
able to tell whether samples Of each
run true to variety standard.
Tasting coffee is a daily ceremonial
In the offices Of the large importing
and roasting firms. On revolving
table the cook sets wide bowls OF cot
fee, to which exact measures Of
cream and sugar have been added.
Tall brass cuspidors stand beside the
chairs, for the expert never swallows
the coffee he is tasting.
Cup tests are blind. The cook stands
by with a slip Of paper on which is
listed the blends in the different bowls.
The coffee is tasted, and comment
falls In a shower. 1t may be found
unusually mellow, or lacking in body.
Perhaps 1t is acid, why, harsh, neu-
trail or Rioy. Two more sets Of char
acterlstlcs are noted. Coffee may be
musty, groundy, woody, grassy; or
fall below standard as rank, sour,
muddy or bitter. These factors in
flavor influence the price at which cot
fee sells.

History of Buttons

The button is a product of modern
civilization, since the ancient peoples
did not have any such form Of hold
ing their clothes together. They were
first used for ornamental purposes.
The next step was the use of the but
ton and loop, the buttonhole being last
in the development Buttons were
first employed in southern Europe in
the Thirteenth and Fourteenth CEN
turtles. Their manufacture in England
did not commence until the reign Of
Elizabeth. The earliest meAtion Of
the buttonhole in literature occurs in
the year 1851. While mems outer gar
ments are still made with buttons and
buttonholes, the trend of the present
is away from such fastenings AL
most all women's clothes and many
mems undergarments are now made
without buttons.

Butterfdt Human Need

Food scientists, whose efforts to find
the greatest food values have In
creased year by year, find that gener-
ally the people are the healthiest in
those countries where butterfat makes
up a large per cent Of the diet The
Chinese people are dlminutive race
and not particularly healthy. Butter
is not used by the Chinese except by
a small but growing number of the
Weather classes. Normal consump-
ton of butter there is estimated at
only 100000 pounds per annum,
while China has a population Of 446-
G53,OO0. The average American eats
ten times more butter In a day than
the Chinese eats in a year.

SDedish Wedding Custom,

In Sweden weddings formerly took
place under cover of night. Behind
the high altar Of the ancient church
at Husaby, in Cortland, collection Of
long lances with sockets, for torches,
may yet be seen. These were served
out to the groomsmen on such occa-
sions, both for defense and illumina-
ton. Those men were the best who
could be found to volunteer their
services. One wedding superstition
is that a bride, on leaving home for
the wedding trip, must step into the
carriage with the right foot first. She
should do the same when she first en-
tiers the home prepared for her after
the bridal trip
