CHAPTER NINETEEN

T ZANE stood outside the door for
IL a moment, catching her breath.
She clenched and uncIenched her
small hands. II hate her." she
said to herself. "Oh, hate her!"
She had said no to Olives pro-
posal that they announce their en-
gagement before the arrival of Miss
Lord and her sister. Now she
wished she hadn't. That would
have given her at least a sort of
standing. 1t would have been a
protection against snubS.
She went into her mothers room
now and shut the door softly be-
hind her. Cass was sleeping. The
shadows under her eyes had al
most disappeared.
Lame had a sudden wild desire
to snatch her up, to dash back to the
shabby little fiat in West Sixty
eighth street where they had been
so poverty-stricken and oftentimes
so happy.
But she knew that she couldn't
do that. No, she must go through
with this preposterouS agreement.
She had given her word and She
must keep it.
WHO does that Lame girl look
w like?" Fanny Amberton was
saying as she brushed her short
black hair and pressed the wave in
with skillful fingers.
Don't know" Tressa answered
shortly. Like no one I know.
Why?"
"It's rather perplexing," unused
her sister, wriggling into black
net frock. II could swear I've
talked to her-known her before.
But of course it's nonsense. She's
little more than a child"
Nineteen" Tressa said and
laughed shortly. "A highly i'm
probable age!"
my DEAR" nurmured Fanny AM
berton significantly, "do you realize
Give will be Is soon after the first
of the year?"
Il do" There was something I'M
pleasant about TreSSa'S brief laugh.
Fanny made up her lips meticu-
lousy. Hell have-well, nillions!'
she said.
Tressa stood in the doorway OF
the bath which connected the two
rooms the sisters occupied. She
wrapped a citron colored nelgigee
sheer and tight and dripping cream
colored lace, tightly around her. Hel

WORLD
WAR
YARNS
by Lieut.. Frank E. Hogon
An 11-Year-Old Hero

"Ihe boy stood on the burning
deck a matter of fact the deck
wasn't afire but it was most decidedly
"hot place" in which eleven-year old
Jack Ainsley, son of Capt. Charles
Ainsley of the coal barge, Lansford,
found himself that morning of July n,
1918, off the coast of Cape Cod, Mass.
For the Lansford was one OF four
barges which was being towed around
the cape by the sea-going tug, Perth
Amboy, when suddenly the U-l56. lone
of the six German submarines which
succeeded in running the ganllet of
destroyers, cruisers and subchasers pa
trolling the Atlantic coast and which
sunk thousands of tons of American
shipping in our waters) loomed up
through the fog and began Smelling
the tug and the barges
After setting the tug afire the raid
er turned his guns on the barges and
the Lansford was showered with
shrapnel which burst over the deck
Of the defenseless craft Captain
Ainsley was wounded in both arms,
but instead of being terrified by the
attack, young Jack ran into the cabin
of his fathers craft, seized a small
American flag and waved it defiantly
over the rail at the enemy. Not con-
tent with this gesture, he started back
to the cabin to get his .22-caliter rifle
to return the fire Of the submarines
guns But he was prevented from
carrying out his indiscreet plan by his
father who ordered the lifeboat
launched and the crew to get in it.
Two other boats from the other
barges were also manned and the 80
persons on the barges, including three
women, wives Of officers, and five chill
dren, started for the shore less than
three miles away. Although they were
fired upon by the raider, none of the
women or children was wounded, but
only because of the poor aim of the
submarine gunners. Within a short
time they reached Nauset Harbor,
short distance from Orleans and as
the Lansford's boat came through the
breakers, the crowd which had heard
the firing and gathered on the shore,
saw young Jack Ainsley sitting in the
bow, still carrying the American flag.

Many Make Themselves
Martyrs to Bodily Ills

The intense rivalry and hostility
toward relief display themselves
most obviously in the martyr to bod
lily Ills. The very familiarity of the
phrase "enjoying i'll health" proves
how multitudinous are these victims.
The rest of the world is largely
composed Of hypochondriacs to him
who is hypochondriac himself.
Nothing annoys him so much as to
hear some one else boast of his dis
eases. Straightway he sets about
taking the wind out of his rivals
sails.
Let his neighbor groan that he has
tossed the preceding night because
Of sciatica, and the self-pityer will
observe: "When one losses with 1t
every night, as l do, he is glad to
forget it,"
There is no surer way to get In
wrong with one of these afflicted be-
ings than to tell him that he is look
ing well. If you expect to cheer him
you are still in the ABC's of psy-
chology. He Is insulted, Infatuated
To be sure, he will not show it; he
will summon the pensive smile and
say, in tone of injury, "I'm glad
look wel-what there Is of me
I'm losing pound week."
DR.. Hubert S. Howe has admitted
to me that all of his profession are
many time hard put to 1t to dis
Germ the truth. These persons are
SO sly and clever that physician
must be we'll acquainted with them
to make sure just how far they are
(subconsciously) trying to deceive.
Let patient declare that she has
violent headache, and there is no
way to disprove it.-Sarah Comstock

Uncle Dudley

|
Sergeant Jacob Phipps quit the army
just once in his twenty-five years en-
listment.
SCOT a Job with Robinson circus, -
he recalled briefly. "First night out
with the Uncle Tom show they wanted
me to sleep with the bloodhounds and
Jackass. Your Uncle Dudley jumped
the job and came back to the army"
Once the troops kicked about food
your Uncle Dudley" Phipps told
them, "has Travelled from the rock
bound coast of Maine to the golden
shores of California but never on such
good chow as you're getting in this
mans army. Don't forget it I"
A cowardly blow with bottle of
rum laid him low as his regiment left
for the lines. Phipps climbed from a
hospital window and rejoined the out
dt as soon as he was conscious. But
his pep was gone. He grew morose.
"Phipps is old" said the officers
doubtfully. "What'll he do in the line.
How'll he act under fire?"
Their answer came few days later
when Phipps' company captured a
town. He led two platoons without
losing man. And some one had seen
him when Phipps climbed upon a fire
step at "H" hour and faced his troops.
IF you want to see the Statue of
Liberty again-folow your Uncle Dud-
Ney," Phipps barked happily.
His goatee pointed aggressively
toward the enemy trench. Phipps
was himself again.

New Haven, Feb 2S.--While the Oriental peach moth still lies quiet within its winter cocoon. entomolo- gists of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station have begun wholesale preparations for the sum- mer offensive to destroy the pest by parasites.
 Last year parasites released by the million in Connecticut peach orch ards helped largely to cut down an infestation that in 1929 almost ruin cd the fruit, and bountiful crop was produced.
 Dr Philip Garman, who is in charge of the parasite-breeding lab oratories, stated to-day that the sta ton hopes to produce twice last years number, or about 15,OOO,OOO, specimens of the Trichogramma minuta, a tiny parasite that lays It's egg inside the peach moth egg and so destroys 1t. Several generations of the Trich | must live and die before this mum ber is attained The cycle of life Is minutely controlled by incubators refrigeration and electric lights which simulate winter and summer and sunlight. In the laboratory a generation Is eight days.
 To prepare for the vast accumula- ton that is needed July l. Is cages were filled with fresh wheat to feed the grain moth, and 900,000 eggs ol this insect were scattered in them The first grain moth of the new lot ancestor of thousands that are to come, emerged this week. | A peach orchard of 15,0O0 seed'

Dogs Have Some
 Rights in Court Judge McEvoy Decided Im- pOrtant Case in Hartford
 Yesterday

If you make too free with q dog and the animal objects by sinking his teeth into your flesh. you have poor chances of getting damages from the owner.
 Frank De Santin of Hartford lost his suit for damages against John Sylvester of 123 North street.. whose dog bit him on December 8, 193O, by decision of Judge Frank F. Nc Evoy of the Superior Court yester- day. Judge McEvoy found that the plaintiff had played with the dog several times before the dog bit him that there was no evidence the dog was vicious and that the plaintiff's injury was caused by his own acts in annoying the dog. James Curry appeared for the plaintiff and Louis E. Rosenfeld for the defendant.

The seeds were planted in the greenhouse and the young shoots are being inoculated with the peach moth, larva of which were saved through the winter.
 Last winter 12,000 "Macros' were provided for Connecticut orchards pr Garman plans this year that twice that number. The Macro has not taken so agreeably to laboratory life as the Trich; consequently Il could not be produced on so large a scale.
 Mice and predatory insects offer obstacles to rearing parasites al most us great as the technical diff faculties. Mice dig up the planted peach pits and ants carry away the larva on the seedlings.
