that to be recognized by her fathers
family was a step up in the world.
You'll be riding in your carriage
when the people on this street are hunt
ing nickel for the cable cars" was
one of Ellen's arguments. The cable
cars had come by that time; streets
were torn up and in between the new
heavy tracks ran the long slot that car
ried the cable. There was a grip" un-
der the car and it caught hold of the
moving cable and the car went along.
1t was amazing
Or Tommy, heavily humorous, would
stroke his small blond mustache and
tease her.
"Will you speak to us when you're
riding In state and we're out on the
tandem?" Yes, Tommy had a new
tandem bicycle for Ellen and himself;
it was one of the first in the city.
and then the other. She did not much
care, what she did. only she rather
wanted to be alone. She was never
alone, somehow. They were always
dragging her into the parlor with them,
so they could argue with her.
After all, she might try it. It was not
life sentence, as old Archibald had
said. If she didn't like it, she could
run away.
She did not know that that very
night old Archibald had a conversation
with his sister. He sat alone in his
small room, with the vital noisy life
OF the slums going on underneath his
window and a bottle Of whisky beside
him-his pension had just come-and
held high converse with her. She was
not there, but that did not matter.

That's my affair, Archibald"
ITS hers, too. Why are you do
Because I've got what you never
had. sense of duty"
Good heavens" he bawled. eff

scoundrel and you want to make up to
the girl for 1t, tha's one thing. Duty's
another. And there's something else,
too"
And what is that?"
Don't you take her and freeze her.
Do you hear that? That woman who
killed herself. she had red blood in her
veins. This girl has it, too. or I don't
know women. And I've never been ac-
cused Of that"
you may be insulting in my house,
but need you be vulgar?"
That pleased him. He chuckled
over it.
"A little vulgarity would have been
valuable to you. Sarah, at a good many
times in your life. But that's neither
here nor there. Take this girl in, If
YOU will. but give her something more
than duty. If YOU don't give her love.

Bert did"
And here the imaginary dialogue
ceased, and he smote his knee with a
mighty thump

holding onto Bert through the girl!

he put on his long nightshirt and
crawled into his bed. He lay back on
his pillows and looked at the pictures
on the walls. His wife. the beya; queer
old daguerreotypes, his wifes breast
pin touched with gold paint. But his
eyes strayed from them to other photo
graphs: himself in the clothes he used
to wear to the races at Saratoga, a pic
ture or two of horse he had run years
ago.
He smiled family and sank agreeably
into sleep. At the same time, Massie
was worrying about the future. 1t was
a small thing which finally decided her.
It was to be like that with her, always;
it was to be as though there was a
complete absence of design in her par
ticular weaving, as though that fortui-
touS and casual concourse of atoms
which was Missile Colfax was meant to
be the sport of every circumstance, the
victim of any chance wind that blew.
One night she went out for a walk to
get away from Tommy and Ellen. The
streets were dark, save for an occasional
gas lamp, and under tree she came
across a boy and a girl. The girl was
giggling self-consciously, the boy talking
in low tone. She had passed them by
when the boy laughed, and she knew It
was Harry Sloane.
He had not seen her. She wandered
on, the dead leaves Of Autumn eddying
about her, and her own heart and
mouth as dry as they. The streets were
empty and quiet, the tired horses of the
days traffic were in their stables. Now
and then an occasional carriage went
by, its matched team trotting, its har-
ness shining, its coachman erect on his
box. Inside we're women, women in
enormous picture hats and evening
gowns, on their way to the theater, their
short full capes covering their decolette;
or on their way to dinners, or balls,
their long trains carefully gathered into
their laps, their heads garnished with

She went back to the little house and
opened the parlor door.
Il just came to tell you that I've
| made up my mind. I'll CO. We can
sell this stuff, Ellen. You won't want
1t, and never want to see it again"
Then she went out and slammed the
door.
They were greatly relieved. With her
problem on their minds, they began,
after that, to make much Of her.
Just think how grand you'll be.
You'll get fatter, too. She'll be really
she?"
Nothing to frown at now" Tommy
would say CALAMITY.
They were married three weeks later,
church wedding, but a quiet one; q
few neighbors, two or three of Ellen's
office associates, Tommy's family and
some of his friends. Ellen sent a note
to Mrs. Colfax, telling her that Missile
would be ready the day after the cere-
mony, and inviting her and Miss AIDE
laide" to the church. In reply Adelaide
Colfax wrote that the carriage would
call for MaSSie at 4 o'clock of the day
designated, and did not refer to the
! marriage at all.
The day after the wedding the Sec
ond-hand man came with his wagon
and backed 1t to the curb When he
had gone. Missile swept out the empty
rooms and burned the trash in the yard.
Then she went into the house. washed
and dressed, closed and locked her
trunk, the trunk which had been
Stella's, and sent it of. And at half
past five came old Ishmael and the
carriage, and Missile got in. There were
few good-byes, old Ismael waved his
whip. the horses moved of.
She cried quietly all the way to her
new home.

he said II go up once a week myself,
anyhow, and it's sometimes a comfort
to know they're being looked after"
She lay in her dark room after he
had gone-Ellen had moved into Stella's
and debated the question with more
calmness than before. She would have
to do something. Tommy and Ellen
were planning to marry soon. She did
not resent that. She could see their
viewpoint. That was always Massie'S diff
ficulty. When she was old enough to
think about 1t, she lamented it as a
weakness, this ability to see both sides
of the shield. She had an uncanny gift
for putting herself into the other per-
sons mind and seeing why he did this
or felt that. 1t made it difficult for her
to feel resentment even to make any
definite stand, except on a principle.
And even there! She herself called it
being muddle headed. Looking back,
she had "muddled" through her life.
But it was evident that they intended
to force her hand. But then. why not?

without her. Also, both of them felt

He contemplated many things, sitting
there stroking his knees with his blue
veined hands. He had no love for his
sister, never had had. But he eyed
Ellen and then Missile, still grieving, still
red-eyed and not too tidy, and drew
his own conclusions.
Well" he said at last, otis not a
life sentence, anyhow. Not necessarily.
You could try it, and If it gets strong
for you, you could run away, reckon"
He chuckled at some ancient memory.

not a patient family, Missile. We all

back in the end"
Before he left he said something that
touched the girl and perhaps gave
weight to the compromise he suggested.

VARIED ANIMALS
PREFER DARKNESS
More Than 100 Species
Spend Entire Lifetime in
Absolute BIackness.

Imagine a universe OF life without
light, Such a condition seems impossi-
BILE, yet, scientists say, there are more
than a hundred known species of land
animals and insects in North America
alone that live In a universe Of utter
darkness.
Many insects, reptiles, and sometimes
even mammals, like the ground squir-
rels and the bats, employ caves as their
temporary places of abode, but the true
cave animals-the blind insects (beetles.
crickets, mites and gnats), the eye
less fish, crustacea, leeches and the in
Vulnerable myriapods that inhabit the
dark recesSes Of caverns like the Man,
moth Cave of Kentucky, spend their
| entire lives In places where it is darker
than the darkest night. These animals
never, from their own choice, come to
light, nor are they found where the
atmosphere is far from the saturation
| point. In their habitat of continuous
night they live and breed, migrating
| upward or downward as the food sup
ply and moisture conditions require.
OF all cave animals, the white cricket
and the blind fish are probably best
known, but the group of minute crea-
tureS-the myriapods (centipede-like
animals) are. scientists believe, per-
haps more highly endowed by nature
than their better known comrades.
These animals are provided with won.
derfully sensitive antennae or feelers
resembling little strings of pearls which,
1t was pointed out, serve as eyes, ears
and possibly nose for the animal. These
antennae project notably from the side
Of the head and enable the animal
to travel from place to place with
perfect ease.
The myriapods have the habit of
spinning delicate web while travelling,
so they can retrace their path per-
fectly by following the web.
These minute insect-like creatures
run quite actively and can move back
ward with as much ease as forward.

SIXTH INSTALLMENT.

TT was soon after her grandmother's
visit that old Archibald, Lambert
Colfaxs uncle, came to see Missile.
i He had attended Stella's funeral,
but for the past year the family
had seen little of him. The pickings
had been too lean, and he was no fool;
he knew Stella disliked him.
He found the small household demor-
allied, Ellen nagging. Missile wretched,
and with his shreWd, not unkindly,
old eyes on the two girls he listened to
the proposition.

Missile. Now why?" he reflected, run

SELF-DEFENSE
PLEA OF ALL IN
MILL SLAY|NCS
Is Defendants CoIIaborate
in Denial Sheriff
Fired Shots.

Bu United Press
MARION, N. c., Oct. 12.-Self-
defense virtually was established
today as the common plea of sixteen
men held here for commitment
hearing on the fatal shooting of five
union textile workers at the Marion
mill, Oct. 2.
Eleven of the sixteen have testi-
fed thus far and all have asserted
that any shooting they did was to
protect their own lives.
Five more of the defendants-B.
L. Robbins, Charles Tate, Robert
Ward, w. A. Fender and David Jar
rett-were heard at Thursdays Ses-
sion of the hearing, and all agreed
1t was their life against that of their
alleged attackers.
They also collaborated in the gen.
eral defense that Sheriff Oscar Ad-
kins, central defendant of the case,
did not even fire a gun at any time
during the clash.
Ward, member of the One hun
dred fifth engineers, Morgantown,
told of being shot by two men. II
dropped to my knees, fired three
times at each, and they both
dropped" he said. II haven't seen
either of them since"
Fender and Jarrett both admitted
shooting one time each at men who
were blazing away at them. Fen
der's left eye was burned by pow
der, he said, and a bullet cut a nick
out of his hat.
