Chittenham turned, his face flushed,
his eyes furious
what in hell are you talking
about?" he demanded thickly.
my dear chap, I've just told you.
1t was a mistake-quite an innocent
one on my part naturally. After all,
there's no harm done, is there? What
difference can it make? Miss Farrow
will never know. ="
"Never knoaV"
Chittenham flung past him and out
OF the room. He went downstairs,
took his coat from the lobby and went
out into the gathering dusk.
Not Julie Farrow! not the woman
who had driven Rodney to his death
Not Julie Farrow, the woman who
had lain in his arms last night; not
the woman to whom he had believed
he was paying back a bitter debt-not
the cold, calculating adventures whose
kisses and sweet, whispered words he
had taken with covert sneer.

down on earth as it is on the
heights. :"
She had said that to him, her hand
in his, just before they parted; she
said that, believing in him, trusting
him, loving him! Not knowing any
thing of Sadie-not knowing that he
was married man! not knowing per-
haps any of the traG;c happenings
which had led up to this, the worst
tragedy of all.
What would she say when she
knew? how could he explain what
possible excuse could he find for his
actions which would not seem utterly
caddish and despicable in her eyes?
It was as if some one had torn
down a veil that had blinded and de-
ceived him.
He remembered a hundred and one
little things which should have warned
him, told him of his mistake.
He knew now that wher last night |
Julie had said she loved him it was |
the truth also. And there was
Sadie.
What sport of the gods!
He felt like a man in a dream.
He tried to believe that he had only |
to rub his eyes and he would find |
hat the house before him had vanished,
find that he was back again in South |
America, that he had never come to
Switzerland with Lombard, never met
Julie Farrow on the little lake steamer.
And then one of the windows lead
ing on to balcony opened-the sound |
of voices was waited down to him
through the quiet evening, and a
figure was silhouetted against
the light.
Julie? For a moment the pounding
Of Chittenhatn's heart almost chohed |

saw that it was not Julie, but BIN

Presently he heard her voice-quietly
cynical.

ward. There was mist before hts
eyes, binding him, then he heard Julie
laugh nervously.
II believe you are more afraid OF
me than I am Of you," she said
She was very pale-in her white
frock she looked almost like ghost,
but she was smiling happily, and when
he made no movement towards her
she raised herself little on tiptoe and
softly kissed him.
"Isn't it the same now we are down
on earth again?" she asked with a
note of banter in her voice, through

will spread American methods through

"Of course Turkish children have

they have played as individualists, a

spread in Turkey is the gift for team
work for which America is famous"
She also hopes to organize gym.

He really was Milk Bottle, and be-

LIGHTS OF NEW YORK
BY WALTER TRUMBULL

There is a New York woman Of
wealth and position who never has had
high regard for regulations Of the
order which appear to her bit stupid
and unnecessary. Up to recent times,
of course, men have made laws and
women have made customs, and the
fact is that the average women, being
really much more independent of
thought than any man, is governed
mainly by her own sense of the fitness
Of things rather than by any legal
code. That may not be clear to you,
but know what / mean.
At any rate, for various reasons, this
woman had not been abroad in rather
long time, but decided to spend
season in Europe. She discovered
that she had to obtain a passport.

~ in and always keep it for this
purpose. Once tried, you will never
do without 1t. The melted paraftin
pours easily just where it is wanted
and need not be used all at one time.
Keep loose matches in a covered tin

Old photograph records are excel

over record occasionally.
When hardwood floors are worn,
give coat of white shellac the day
before waxing. Floors will then be
more easily polished.
Gilt frames can be cleaned with the
white of an egg gently rubbed on with
a camePs hair brush.
Fruit juices should always be saved.
Combined with tapioca, which does
not have to be soaked, or with gelatin,
which is not favored, they make de-
licious desserts.
To remove the shell of an egg quick
ly after it has boiled the required
time, place it in basin of cold wa
ter for two seconds and the shell will
come off without difficulty.
When boiling ham, salt beef or
tongue, which is to be eaten cold, you
should leave the meat in the liquor

How It Started
BY JEAN NEWTON

"AS SIMPLE AS COLUMBUS EGG"
Here is a phrase, as old as the dis
covery of America, and one which
would probably never have come into
the language but for this epochal in
cident.
The expression had it's inspiration
in the court of the queen of Spain
who had invited scientists and others
to stand an egg on one of it's ends
a balancing feat hitherto, presumably
unaccomplished.
None could do the trick till Column
bus, with an air of nonchalance tapped
it on the table, held it for moment
and then gently released his hold,
when it balanced itself neatly and
completely.
Ever since, any problem which is
apparently puzzling but in reality
simple has been referred to as being
as simple as Columbus egg.

The best thing with which to rub
