Comedy in Catacombs.

CORTLAND Riley Cooper and Oc-
tavus Roy Cohen made q tour OF
Palestine and Italy last year. Both
of these popular fiction builders de-
voted much time to delving into the
ruins, cemeteries and dusty corners.
When they reached Rome both made
a rush for the catacombs under the
direction of a guide who knew the
innermost recesses of that historic
place of the ancient dead Coming
upon sequestered grave in a far
away corner of the labyrinth, the
guide made speech as follows:
This is the most famous of all the
graves in the catacombs. You will
observe a marble Stone upon which
Latin words are craven. l will trans
late them for you: Here lie hus-
band and wife who for so years lived
in so beauteous a union and in such
sweet accord that not during the en-
tire period of their united existence
did either one speak one unkind
word to the other"
''All of which goes to show" said
Mr.. Cooper to the much impressed
Mr. Cohen, that as far back as BIC.

good fiction"

on the rumored divorce between Mrs.

| Jill nodded as if she had gone on
| assignments like this all her life. Mr..
Merrill watched her straight, slim fig

| velop her as he had developed Miss
| Bishop, she would be a great asset
| OF course, Miss Bishop was more sue
cessful at hiding her cleverness, but
| this girl had sympathy and brains.
AT the door of Mrs. Woods apart
ment, Jill gave her name to the maid
and was ushered into small recep-
ton room. 1t was really little more
than foyer, and a moment later the
maid returned and said that Mrs.
Wood would see her.
Jill followed her through a luXuri-
ously furnished living room and into
bedroom beyond. In one of the twin
| beds was a woman. She looked more
like q little girl. Her short. dark hair
was ruffied up into tiny curls, her eyes
| were red with weeping. Behind her
there were heaped any number of
small baby-pillows. A silk coverlet of
delicious shade of mauve was pulled
| up over her.
All around her on the bed news.

ly been looking through all the papers

There is fair luck for those who

to benefit through careful building of
their united fortunes.
Engineers, builders and all who deal
in material construction of any sort
should profit under this planetary gov

Uranus Is IN an aspect threatening

CHAPTER XXyI.
Her First Assignment.

Her last two days in the offices of
Mcclure G. Adams were a nightmare
to Jill for two reasons.
1t was awful to be forced to endure
the sight of Johns face, mournful
with reproach, and it was difficult to
avoid running into Tony.
That night after she had left Tony
she had gone into a butcher store and
bought herself a solitary lamb chop.
She simply couldn't stand it to eat i'll
q restaurant.
This she took home and broiled i'm
her little gas. oven and ate with bread
and butter and Il salad of tomatoes
and watercress.
For the first time since she had been
in New York, she thought of her own
home town.
She thought of the big, cheerful din
ing room. Nan and her mother and
father would be sitting down to a
meal of steak and baked potatoes and
hot biscuits. There would be other
things, too-side dishes. Crimson jelly
on a blue plate, homemade chow
chow. And afterward, cake, q three
layer affair of coconut cream, or
chocolate, or perhaps piece of one
of her mothers famous pies, with the
crust so flaky that it fairly melted in
OtlC > HibuAIls
And then she shook herself angrily.
Imagine thinking so much about food,
oh, but it wasn't that alone, it was
the companionship. While she had
lived at home she had been bored with
Nan. bored with Jimmy Morrison S
visits, bored with the sense of being
closed in a small community.
Tonight she was homesick, that was
all.
And she was right, too. Because
once she had received her last salary
envelope, and had actually left the
offices of Mcclure & Adams, her sense
of adventure returned. Thank heaven
she had been able to avoid Tony uI
to the last minute. Not that he haC
tried to seek her out, or anything like
that. Because he hadn't. She wondered
duly If he were ashamed of what hat
