CHAPTER XXXIII.
JeSsica Scores.

Jessica fiicked the ash from her
cigarette into her empty coffee cup.
The gesture was almost vicious.
What an idea! She was TO be de-
tanned here by force, and not only that
but Mark expected her to look on at
the antics of couple of middle-aged
lovers. He would keep her a prisoner,
and then have his inamorata visit
them. What a joke!
why ask my opinion?" she asked
icily. What have l to do with your
household arrangements? I'm amazed
at your consulting me-"
You put the idea into my head"
Mark said defensively.
'Oh, did 1? Then by all means go
right ahead with it,"
Il just thought it might make it
nicer for you to have another woman
here at the place"
And you weren't thinking of your
self at all. That's funny" She threw
back her head and laughed. How
slender her throat was when she
arched it like that and how scornful
the sound of her merriment!
Il have no wish TO force her on
you" he said angrily. "Of course you
don't believe it, but l realize that your
position here isn't particularly crafty
ing. III do just as you say"
oh by all means invite her. At
least I'll be amused
Il don't know what's so amusing
about it,"
"Middle-aged lovers are always
amusing. OF course they never know
1t. They're as blind as bats. But
their efforts at love-making are always
screamingly funny. BY all means in
wife Miss Martin to come up for a
visit. l shan't even mind if you tell
her I'm prisoner"
Again she laughed, and Mark felt
sudden fury surge up in him. Again
he had an impulse to seize Jessica by
her slim shoulders and shake her until
she cried for mercy. She had made
him feel ridiculous.
With quick movement, he rose
from the table, pushed back his chair
and strobe out of the house His wish
to invite Irene here had been killed
in him. He could imagine Jessica
watching them with bright, amused
eyes He could imagine her urging
them to go off alone together and
laughing up her sleeve as she did so.
The prospect was certainly not allur-
ing.
Once out of doors. however, his
mood vanished. The day was too
lovely for petty squabbling. He
walked down to the stream and stood
watching the rushing torrent for a
while. Then he decided to go fishing.
He returned to the house, and found
che small table cleared of it's break
fast dishes. Out in the kitchen, Mrs.
Morse was singing a ballad. Jessica
was nowhere to be seen.
He went to the door of the kitchen
and asked where she was.
Il think she's in her room" Mrs.
Morse returned with a sympathetic

look. She liked Mark and thought
Jessica needed a spanking, but of
course it wasn't her place to say so.
Mark got out his fishing tackle and
fused with it lovingly as men do.
Then he went to Jessicas door and
knocked.
She opened it almost Immediately.
Want to go fishing?"
She shook her head. I'm afraid
I'm no good at such things"
Have you ever fished?"
mo"
You might like it. It would be
some thing to do
She stood there regarding him with
superior expression. AS a matter of
fact she was wondering whether to
take a chance on it or not. 1t might
be fun, but now that she had sue
ceeded in making Mark uncomfort-
able, she did not want to be friendly
with him in any way. She had ac-
tually succeeded in getting him furious
because of the things she had said
about his love affair. Young as she
was, she knew quite well that man
can stand anything better than he
can stand ridicule. Mark was no ex-
ception to the general rule. She had
succeeded in getting under his skin,
and if he did ask Miss Irene Martin
to come up for a visit, she would
make things just as uncomfortable as
she could for both of them.

Indian prince bought 1t, gave it TO his

1t becomes almost impossible to sell
stones of this kind at any price, so
powerful is superstition.
Another gem, which Is world famous

doubtful, though, if many women

that great gems are white elephants

1t at any price.
Few women would pick q wedding

Valentine Planked Meat.

Put through the meat chopper two
pounds and one-half of veal and add
one-half a pound of cooked ham, so
that the two will be mixed. Season
with one-half of one green pepper
minced. and, If you wish, with two
tablespoonfuls of scraped onion. Add
salt to taste. Arrange the chopped
meat in the form of a heart on a
creased plank, place this beneath the
broiler in the gas range, and broil
for one to two hours, basting now and
then with a little butter A large
plank and a thin heart calls for a
shorter period of cooking. Garnish
before bringing to the table with a
border of duchess potatoes with small
hea1't+shaped slices of baked beets
over them.

THEvENow's BAD LUCK

This has been tough season so

hero Of the 1926 world series.
Due to a salary difference he was
late in reporting. 1t was feared this
might affect his play. On the con-
trary, he stepped right into the pic
ture in the spring training games and
hogged the spotlight from batting
standpoint.
While not great batter, Thevenow
has always been regarded as danger
Gus in a pinch. In the world series
he accounted for five runs on timely
hits. His single in the final game,
driving in two runs, enabled the
Cardinals to take the title by the
score of to 2.

hibition games in the south this

start wasn't going to affect his bat.

Then came the unexpected, bat

might be converted or reinstated clos

DEPOT ASSURED
TO Los ANGELES

SAN FRANCISCO, July 8 R)-A
new $10,000,000 Union railway pass.
enger station in Los Angeles was
sanctioned late today by the state
railroad commission. An order was
issued by the commission directing
the Southern Pacific company, The
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway company and the Los An
geles and Salt Lake Railroad COM
pany to proceed with construction
Of the new terminal upon subsequent
sanction from the Interstate Com
merce commission.
The new union station will be
bounded by Commercial street,
North Main street, Redondo street.
Ell Hanbra avenue and the Los An
geles river. This is the location se-
lected by the people at an election
about one year ago.
Work on the terminal, according
to the order issued by the commis-
sion, shall begin go days after dts
plans are accepted by the Interstate
Commerce commission and shall be
completed three years later.
Before issuing the order, the rail-
road commission determined that
construction of the terminal and
elimination of traffic on Alameda
street would not cause an undue
burden on the railroad companies
