| "She might try marrying him,
came in ironical tones from Marian.
Lon looked at her. "Nightcap upset
you?" he asked solicitously.
Sorry" she answered softly, "did
you enjoy yourself?"
"I'r say did. It's like getting a
fresh grip on life, stepping out with
that crowd. I feel, oh, I don't know,
all confident again. I was going to
| take the car down and sell 1t tomor-
row. Now I'm going down and beat
one of those fellows into giving me
job"
Marian felt crushed. Her weeks Of
yearning to help had meant nothing,
this one evening with those people
had inspired him with fresh confidence
in himself. She should be glad, should
rejoice in 1t, but somehow she felt
that coming away with this renewed
assurance, he would go back there
whenever the opportunity presented
itself, and that was the last thing
in the world she wanted him to do.
Hero greeted them boisterously as
they drove in. He seemed in as good
spirits as Lon.

Lon, I'm too popped up to sleep.
I'll bring a rug and We'll have a nice
powwow before we turn in, eh?"
Hero, tired of chasing shadows,

Lon. Don't you think I can protect

Marian hesitated a long moment,
then-"You can If you recognize the

She recognized the danger now that
it was too late. Looking down into
the bowl of shadows, beneath the
mountain, she picked out the cluster
of lights that marked the village in
which McSwain lived. Whatever had
possessed her to talk as she had? She
needed the counsel of a wise, older
head than her own to deal with a
man like that.
"But the more I see Of other wom-

NEW SURPRISE.

1 L faint voices calling.
Daddy" called Silver,
then, Tan"
A white-garbed servant came soft

them and turned to go back. Still Nc
Swain didn't answer. Marian heard
footsteps now, and the voices Of Sill
yer and of Lon, coming toward them.
Haven't time to say much" began
McSwain, I'm mighty thankful my
fate fell into the hands of a girl of
honor, like yourself. Give me little
time; this has been shock, a tre-
mendous shock"
Daddy, you old sheik," cried Sill

corner, the idea of your being out

headed gal. Marian, shame on you

ing their Silence-"been looking all
over for you. If you don't come in
and drag mother and Wylie apart
there's going to be another bridge
murder"
Lon stepped to Marian's side and as
the other two preceded them down
the garden path, slipped one arm
about Marian and found her trem-
bling. Honey. what's wrong?"
"Oh, Lon," she whispered, II wish
we could go home right now"
1--WE can't very well, it's only half
past o.
only half past 81" she repeated.
She had left the card room at 9. Had
that whole episode taken only half
an hour? To her it had seemed
hours.
The group cut for partners. Ma
rian found she had drawn Blaine
Kelly, McSwain, Mrs. Wylie. Lon,
Silver. Mr.. Wylie and Mrs. McSwain
were at the other table.
Marian, who played with brilliance
at some times, and stupidity at others,
found this was one of her worst nights.
She could not forget that McSwain
was sitting near her, watching her
covertly with his heavily hdded eyes.
Midnight came with trays Of sand
wiches and TALL iced nightcaps, and
after these were consumed, the Casads
left. Escaped. Marian felt, as she sat
beside Lon, heard the purr of the mo-
tor and the clang of the gates behind
the car.
They drove in silence for a while,
then Lon spoke. Silver has certainly
changed; she's evidently decided to
act her age"
Either that or she's been taking
lessons from Mae West"
'Prr-meouw!" trilled Lon, chuck
ling. Il like her a lot better this
way"

CITIZENS APPOINT
VIGILANCE GROUP
Manor Park Association
Takes Action Against
Crime in Washington.

Expressing alarm over "the marked
increase in crime in the District the
Manor Park Citizens Association last
night appointed a Vigilance Com
mittee, as proposed by George E. Sui
Iivan at the Federation of Citizens
Associations last Saturday.
The group, meeting at the j. G..
Whittier School, agreed to incorporate
in this resolution a clause commencing
Capt. j. C. Morgan of No. precinct
for his efforts to rid the community
of crime considering what was termed
an insufficient number of men on his
force. Appreciation also was expressed
for the captains interest in the aSso-
citation as evidenced by several visits
at the meetings.
Another portion of the resolution
contained an Endorsement of Maj.
Browns request for additional men
on the police force for the entire city.
Members of Committee.
On motion of Mrs. George Corbin
the president appointed R. B. Martin,
j. S. Moore and E. NJ. Taylor to serve
on the Vigilance Committee.
Capt. Morgan addressed the men,
bers explaining how they could CO.
operate with the police in reducing
the number of crimes in the city. He
emphasized the Importance of keep
ing lights on in the home when a
family goes out for the evening.
A letter was read from the National
Airport Corporation asking permission

port here. w H. Seaquist told men,
bers that while he was in favor of
such a project he believed it would
have to be included in a future budget
and there were too many other items
of more Importance which should be
considered first. This was the opin-
ion of most of the members as they
voted not to have this speaker.
Last month the body asked for i'm
provement on Third street between
Peabody and Kennedy streets. Col
Daniel I. Sultan. District Engineer
Commissioner, wrote: 1.-The Commits
sioners are naturally reluctant, until
the rerouting problem has been set
tied, to either proceed with the paving
of its own area or to order the street
railway company to rebuild and sur
face tracks" He added he has per-
sonally seen the condition here and
promised early consideration as soon
as rerouting plans are decided upon.
Mrs. Corbin introduced a resolution
approving action to permit tracks to
remain on Kennedy street between
Georgia avenue and Fourteenth street
so that future rerouting plans will
permit portion of the street cars to
continue down Fourteenth street. She
pointed out that while the Georgia
avenue line would furnish faster serv-
ice when needed, it passed through an
undesirable section of the city. The
resolution was adopted.
A resolution to amend the bylaws,
enlarging the standing committees,
was passed. The president appointed
committee chairmen and members for
the coming year.
New members admitted last night
are: Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Niswonger,
Mr.. and Mrs. Atwell Summerville, jr.,
and Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Addor.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.
Unconscious Motives.

1t isn't possible for a person to live
completely; to do all the things that
are humanity possible. Life is too
short on the one hand, and entirely
too varied on the other. So we all
acquire the habit of living within
the range of probabilities. We re-
strict our activities.
The restriction of activities does not
prevent us from entertaining vague
ideas about things we cannot afford
to try to do. 1t seems that deep
down in our unconscious mind we
have ideas which we really do not
recognize for what they are.
I have known some people to bor-
row money in order to lend it to
others. At the same time their bet
ter sense should have told them that
their loan was total loss. This sort
OF thing goes on all the time.
But just why? The borrower, in
turn the lender, was motivated by an
unconscious idea to domineer. So one
way to make yourself feel important
is to set up a situation wherein you
satisfy yourself that some one is sub
servient to you.
A good deal of tipping in hotels
and Pullman cars may be ascribed
to the unconscious motive to be more
than you really are. No doubt some
forms of charity are associated with
unconscious motives. And all those
second mistakes" certainly belong in
this class.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

THE Ferris wheel, without which no
= fair grounds is complete, is the
product of George w. Ferris, an
American engineer.
While this amusement device is to-
day so commonplace as to excite no
unusual interest, in 1892, when its
inventor first conceived its idea, 1t
was laughed at as impracticable, fool
ish, and un-worthwhile commercially,
even if mechanically feasible.
Nevertheless, its inventor persisted
in believing that people would enjoy
being carried up into the air for fun
and would be willing to pay for it.
He worked on his idea and in 1893
constructed the revolving device
known as the Ferris wheel, which
carried more than a thousand passen-
gers at time, and which was among
the most popular attractions at the
Columbian exposition in Chicago.
