Perry groaned. and 50 did Emmy. She knew that the Dying Gladiator was horror.
 She said so, aloud: Its q horror. Mother"
 Not to me-" answered Mrs. Mill burn hardly. Your father bought it at the Bazaar down town the week after we moved into this house. I'll never get rid of it." And she carried it out into the din- ing room and set it tenderly on the top shelf of the old walnut side- board.
 At half-past eight Robb came. He and Perry were going to see the hockey game at the Elysium Rink the first one of the winter season.
 He was very spick- k-and-span now in his Oxford-gray suit, his gray shirt, his gray necktie dotted with white. Quite the handsomest man she had ever seen, Emmy thought suddenly, looking at him from the viewpoint of that new idea that Grandmother Pentland had put into her head. The idea that he was "after" her.
 "Robb, Pm sorry I was a beast this afternoon" she said to him, when they were alone for a minute in the sitting room. T don't know what ailed me. I'm little fool" She laid her hand on his shoulder, just flicking it with her fingers.
 She saw his mouth set hard. His hand grasped her hand, held it tightly for a second, then let 1t drop.
 "You!" he said huskily. There's nobody like you anywhere, Emmy"
 Perry called to him from the hall, and he went.
 Emmy stood like statue until the sound of his voice and Perry's voice died away outside. Grand mother Pentland had been right then, and Robb was in love with her! There's nobody like you anywhere, Emmy" That was wha, he thought of her!

 T wonder where your father IT. Mrs. Milburn said presently. and something in her tone made Emmy glance up quickly from her book.

 '.If I'm tired. it's . happy tired. ahe answered. But she did net look happy. There was . strainsd. watch full look in her eyes and she kept turning her head toward the bay window.
 Finally she got up, laid her sew ing on the table and walked over to the windows, pushing aGide the starched white curtains.
 She let out soft little cry. Look, Emmy. the first snow!" she said. Come here. Doesn't 1t look like Christmas Eve? All white and-'' She broke off. and the muscles in her throat twitched in . spasm. \ kind of fright came into her face.
 An orange-colored taxicab was just pulling into the circle of light thrown on the snow by the street lamp in front Of the house.
 Before the driver jumped down and opened the door of 1t. Emmy knew who was in that cab. Her father was tho only person who ever came home to Flower street in taxicab. She had heard him roll up in them many . time late at night.
 He came straight up the front walk tripping on the top step as he mounted to the porch. Mrs. Mil burn met him in the hall.

 Some day I'll do them, too, and cut out the ad art stuff altogether" he told Emmy once, his dark head bent over the table, his blue eyes intent upon his work. This was his great ambition.
 At eight o'clock Mir. Milburn had not come home. and the family sat down to supper
 Something must have kept your father down town." Mrs. Milburn said. carrying the bowl of baked po- tatoes into the dining room. Too bad we haven't a telephone, so he could let us know, isn't it?"
 The potatoes were heavy and soggy by this time. the lettuce sal- ad had wilted in it's pale-yelloW dish, and the bread pudding was not the golden-brown coficoction it had been at six-thirty when it should have been eaten. The "ambassador pudding" Mrs. Milburn called it.
 She bloomed and flushed at the head of the table, as if she were at a banquet She tried on the white kid gloves, and her eyes seemed to grow brighter and more blue with pleasure as she held up her hands in them.
 'If there's anything in the world l that can make me feel elegant, it's a pair of new kid gloves. she said It took so little to please her. But you shouldn't have bought them for me, Emmy when you need stockings so badly" she went on, with shake of her head. And Perry should have kept his money too instead of spending it on tha, lamp"

Talks Of Futurt of TransoCeaniC
 Airship frlYd

Chicago, Oct. .2.-LN1Dr. Hugo Eckener, with dreams of future air- ships which would make the Graf Zeppelin . midget of the skies, was Chicago's guest today.
 The commander of the transat- lantic dirigible, the Graf Zeppelin, with Lady Drummond Hay, pas- senger on the Atlantic flight. and members of his crew. arrived last night by train 10 be greeted by cheers of Gut Heil!" and tribute of paseantry that bespoke the ac- claim of 'the sixth Gefman city"
 Transoceanic airships carrying 250 or 300 passengers were among Eckener's predictions. They would be like the Graf Zeppelin, he said. but much larger. They would cross the oceans twice as fast as the fast liners and would fly on regular schedules.
 To Sec Ship
 To a crowd in the huge stadium of Soldier field, where he was officially welcomed, Dr. Eckener promised Chicago a glimpse of the Graf Zep- pelin during its westward continental night. The giant ship is to fly over Chicago Friday after 1t leaves Scott field. Belleville, Ill.
 The martial music of two nations greeted the commander and his party as they arrived in Chicago. They were ushered to the stadium in a procession marching to fife and drum music of the "Victory Song" of Prussia. Chicagoans of German descent presented a pageant depict- ing mans conquest of the air. Ger man singing societies provided music. There also was a proram at the Chi- cago German theater.
 Today Dr. Eckener was to tour downtown Chicago and confer with Mayor Thompson at the city council. Following . banquet to be attended by 5000 persons. the commander and his party will leave for New York tonight.

CHAPTER "

It was Perry, carrying huge box covered with brown paper in his arms. He set it carefully down upon the floor before he tossed his hat upon the hooks under the hall mirror.
 What's that, for goodness sake?" his mother asked from the dining room doorway. Not birthday present for me, I hope. Not in that big expensive looking box."
 'That's what it is, though" Perry told her. as he cut the twine around the box with his pen knife and be- xan to tear off the heavy paper wrappings. Take 1t out. yourself
 Under the excelsior in the box was . large brass student lamp and two emerald green glass shades for it. MrA Milburn's face quivered and her hand trembled as she lifted the cleaning. burnished parts from the excelsior and tissue paper.
 "Oh, Perry, it's that student lamp we nv in Salvage's last Christmas! [ remember it-I remember the prtce!" she walled. You shouldn't have bought it! You shouldn't spend your money on me like this. You need 1t, yourself"
 T got it cheap" Perry said 1ruffly. Get some oil. Emmy, and we'll fill it and light 1t up-see how it looks."
 /. "It's beautiful without being lighted" Mrs. Milburn ran her hands over the green glass shades as she looked up at him. Her blue lcyes blessed him.

|SAY CANADIANS CONTROL NICKEL

 Inn polce

Toronto, ont. Oct. 33 e. - The Toronto Mall and Empire today publtshes the following:
 Canadian control Of 1nterna- tional Nickel. gained by . spectacu- lar battle on tho stock exchanges of Toronto. Montreal and New York, s but | part of Great BEttain's policy to ensure world peace by dominating the source of supply of enc of the essential implements of war. While the public watched the sensational rise of Nickel on the money mar kets. the significant move hack of 1t all was . British fight for peace. and the results will be worldwide.
 Fought tn Markets
 Tho skirmish in the worlds drama of peace was fought out on the money markets. It has been un- der way for several months, but all the public saw of 1t was the grad ual rise of Nickel and last weeks fireworks. The general story which has gained credence in New York is that it all began nearly two years ago when the British chemical com mission made its report to the Brit ish government. Sir Alfred Nond (Lord Melchett) was chairman of the commission. Two points of mar ket significance to the British em- pire and to the peace of the world were indicated by the commission ers.
 Went to U. s.
 "One was that during the Great war Canadian Nickel went to the United States and prior to the ad- vent of the states in the war it may have gone to Germany. Charges were freely made at the time that it did reach enemy territory. The second discovery was that in the event of future wars the British em- pire would be in . bad way 70 far as copper was concerned.
 "So the wheels began to turn British interests found a source of copper in tho form Of a contract with Noranda. Then Canadian in- terests gained control of Interna- v ttonal Nickel, wrestling 1t from the states through market plays. Those are the two big moves which have followed the finding of the British chemical commission. The leading Canadians credited with controlling International Nickel are Sir Herbert Holt. John w. McConneI1. and James A. Richardson:''
