 "Good-by, Aunt En-" she heard l Fergus calling
 Suddenly she was alive again. All the zest for the gypsy-like life she |, had lived with Julian had returned : in full flood. It was Fergus who i needed her just as she needed him from the first moment she had come to Aunt Ems, nee d e d his strength and steadiness, the light in his eyes, and the touch of his hands. Such mad ecstasy shook her that she felt herself waking from a dream.
 Fergus stood in the hall, his trav- cling bags at his feet, his soft hat 1 in his hand as he said good-by to Aunt Elm.
 Wait! I'm coming with you! Wait!" she trembled.
 She flew up the stairs to her at tic room. ':Hallie, I'm going away with Fergus. Oh, Hallle, what snail do?"
 Hal1ie hobbled in; competent, smiling, she began to put Noras clothes into bag.
 I'll pack the rest and send them on to you"
 "Oh, Hallie, where's my coat, my hat?"
 Petie Baker battered in, Wrig- gling his fat little body when he saw Nora put on her hat.
 "Oh, Hallie, can't I take him?'
 Hallie smiled, You'll have your hands full with your violent young man without that beast along. In deed you cannot take him!"
 Her bag was clamped shut, she was laughing, trembling, and Hallie stood watching her, her lips twisted in a smile.
 T hope he'll make a respectable woman of you" Hallie cried. Nora laughed cxultantly. l "Hallie, he's never asked me tc

Now when Nora came home each day from the office, she found the house in further stages of dismantl- ing. Barrels stood about, the rugs were rolled up and the keen spring sunshine pouring through the win dows fell on the fading patches on the wall paper.
 Fergus found her one afternoon standing by the window, looking down into the back. yard.
 Mora, I've come to say good-by. J
 She put her hands behind her and stood looking into his eager lighted eyes.

 Then why did you ask ne?"
 So that you'll never forget me. As I'll never forget you--no mat ter what happens to us-well re- member"
 He caught her close and kissed her and she clung to him for, a moment. Then he was gone.
 Aunt Elm came in. She was car rying the old sign Studio of Mus ic-trying to find barrel to put it in: she walked futilely about, a! though she did not know what shs was doing.
 Nora leaned there against thu window. It was true she woule never forget him.

But Hallie was not listening; she too was far away. She was watch ing a small, gay, gypsy-like figure, dark hair tossed in the wind. Be- side her was tall guant man. They had come to the edge of the woods.

 There was something strangely beautiful in the sudden gesture that Hallie made toward Nora. You're sure, Nora?"
 "Sure?' Nora cried, T knew that when he did not scorn my poor Julian-when he stood beside him that no one but Fergus could ever matter again" Nora and Hallie went down the stairs the last time together. Fer gus took her bag, stopped to kiss Aunt Elm and to wiring Hallie's hand. Nora had her arms about them both, her eyes brilliant, hel cheeks flushed.

LISBON, August 13-Deciphering Of
an inscription on a rock on the banks
of the Taunton River in Bristol County,
Massachusetts, designated as the ''Qigh-
ton stone" has revived an old Portu-
guese claim that the first European
to settle in the United states was a
Portuguese navigator.
During four centuries this stone bore
upon its flank mysterious hieroglyphics,
which were not deeiphered until re-
Gently when the american professor,
Edmund Burke DeIabarre, supplied the
KEY.
Engraved in rough characters is the
name "Corte Real" Portuguese navi-
gator, and the date 1911. Also the
Latin words: voluntate del hic dux in,
dorum which roughly translated
means. BY the will of God became
here the chief of the Indians"
Capt Miguel Corte Real set out from
Lisbon ct the head of an exploration
party May 10. 1902. Having reached
the coast of Newfoundland he decided
that his three ships should separate
and explore the seas in three direc-
tons For some reason two ships re-
turned to Portugal, while the third,
comma nded by Corte Real, was never
heard from again.
Students feel the dramatic story OF
Corte Real has at last been revealed by
the deciphering of the inscription on
the Dighton stone. The ship, according
to authentic reports, since corroborated
by two other American professors, was
attacked by the Indians in the Assonet
region and her master captured by the
Indians But he was said to have won
the good will of his captors and to have
been proclaimed their chief

REVEALED IN ROCK INSCRIPTION
DISAPPEARING of ''Dighton Stone Discov-

ton was IAN Indian petroglyph"
When Prof. Edmund 2. Delabarre OF
Brown University, Providence, r. l.,
undertook a study of the rock and It's
inscription he found it necessary to
plough through 500 volumes relating to
the subject
For 10 years he devoted part OF his
time to systematic research. First, he
found "the date 1911 standing out
clearly amid the perplexing mass OF
inscriptions
Then he began a study of sixteenth
century explorers and discovered that
early in that period two Portuguese
adventures had sailed presumably for
Northeastern America and never re-
turned.
One of these was Miguel Corte Real,
who in 1902 went In search OF his
brother, Gaspar who had made one
voyage TO Labrador and Newfoundland
and had vanished on his second trip.
This discovery led to the solution.
