which always remained in the bot
tom of her cup when she had finished.
Sylvia had her coffee served demi-
taSSe.
If Jane, after her interview with the
Inns proprietor, had continued to be
guest there, she would have known
little about the Thompsons. But Jane
ceased to be a guest that Saturday
noon.
The Thompsons were, in fact. the
Inns only guests when. on the fol-
lowing Tuesday. the young man in
roadster arrived. Sylvia was seated
on the porch.
"Out of all the dumps you might
have picked TO spend two weeks In
you certainly hit on the worst" Sylvia
had informed her parents. in the tone
that sweet and twenty so often uses
toward its progenitors nowadays.

and for another second there was
silence, but an electric, GREATNESS
silence. Then:
"You-you wouldn't come TO Chicago

Jane, for a moment, said nothing.
Then:
II might-at that" she admitted,
as her own.
He reached for her hand impui.

Whereupon Tommy went into ac-

1t was sometime later-about the
time when it was dawninS upon the
proprietor that it was up TO him to
prepare and serve the Thompsons'

Dew Ponds of Sussex
Downs.

EOR centuries the dry slopes and
ridges of Sussex Downs. in the
south of England. have been given
over to the pasturing of sheep. These
creatures can live with very little to
drink, but they suffer from thirst II
cut off from water altogether.
Like the deer the sheep feeds in
the early morning while the dew Is
on the grass, and again i'll the eve
ming. when the dew has begun TO fall.
In this way it gets some moisture
with its food. but not enough. The
shepherds have from time immemorIal
made good the deficiency by construct
ing what they call dew ponds.
The dew ponds of Sussex are always
a mystery to strangers coming for
the first time into the sheep country.
That in a land where there are neither
springs nor natural pools OF water.
man should dig holloWs on the sum
mits of the highest hills. and then
confidently expect Nature to keep
them filled. no matter what call is
made on their resources. must appear
downright folly to one who has never
had the practicability of the plan dem
onstrated to him under his very eyes.
Yet the seeming wonder of the dew
pond has very simple explanation.
1t is nothing more than cold spot
on the earth which continually pre-
cipitateS the moisture from the air
passing over it: and that cold spot i
placed on the hilltop because there il
encounters air that had not lost vapor
through previous contact with the
earth.
The best dew-pond makers are The
men of Wiltshire. as all Sheepmen IL
England admit. The pond. having
been eXCavated to the right depth and
shape, is lined first with puddled clay
or chalk. then with a thick layer of
dry straw; finally, upon this straw Il
further substantial coating Of clay IS
laid and well beaten down.
Nothing is needed then but to brin2
Il few carloads of water to start the
pond. and to set a ring fence about
it. The action of the straw, in its
waterproof double casing. is to inter
cept the heat radiation of the earth
at that particular point. so that the
pond cavity and it's contents remain
colder than the surrounding soil. How
the dew pond came to lie invented
has often been the subject of wonder
ing speculation.
Dwarf plume-thistles stud the sWard
of the downs, each circle of thick.
heshy leaves. matted together and
centrally depressed, forming per
feet little dew pond that retains It's
garnered moisture long after all other
vegetation has grown dry in the heat
OF the mounting sun. No doubt some
early shepherd. wandering over the
hills. marked the natural reservoirs OF
the thistles. reasoned out the principles
they embodied, and stra!ghtway SCI
brain and hand to work on the frs
dew ponds.

"Ill see you afterward. then"
Sylvia promised him. I'D love to
have a good talk about Jane. It's so
long since I've seen her"
She managed to hold on to her book
until she reached her room. Then she
flung it on the floor and let it lie

was making a change of attire.
