chair; a deep blush mounted. Then
she rose slowly to her feet, gripped
the edge of the table and stood,
swaying a little, her face turned
toward the door, waiting for this
man who was so soon to be-her
husband!
Richard had brought the money,
all of it, and he had asked no ques-
lions, not even when he saw the
haste that invaded her like a tenn
pest, the secret haste that she want
ed to hide from him and could not.
Richard, Eve got to go home!!'
she cried trembling. II must go
alone, co.. Don't ask me why!"
And he had not asked. Suddenly
his voice ard his eyes were kind, as
if he knew. The passion seemed to

l, Nancy
She shook her head, speeches.,
poised for flight, and he was gen.
erous. He let her go unquestioned
and updelayed.
Fear winged her feet; she al
most ran down the long street; she
was possessed with a horror of being
too late, of having done it all in
vain! Her imagination, a vivid,
restless thing at best, pictured Rod
|dy's arrest just as she entered-or,
worse still he'd be on his way to
New York with the detectives.
She turned the corner, had a
glimpse of the old huose and gar
den quiet under the fine old trees,
and drew a breath of relief. When
she opened the gate she saw Roddy
walking up and down inside the
lilac hedge. He paced restlessly,
but with a dragging, detected gait.
He wanted to escape it all, but
there was no escape-except by the
road. He had promised Nancy not
to 60 until she came back. And
then it might be too late.
Nancy was thankful that he was
alone. She could tell him so much
more easily than she could tell her
parents. They were her real prob-
lens.
"Roddv," she breathed in catchy
gasps, II ran all the way-here's
the money-go to New York and
pay it all back!"
Roddy, utterly amazed, stood
staring blankly as she thrust the
bulky package into his hands. She
had never looked smaller or more
childlike; her pale face a little
drawn, tears of excitement misting
her blue eyes, only her lips touched
with red, moist and trembling. She
must have gone mad, he thought
sober1y.
Take it, take it, Rod! It's all
right-bonds and securities as good
as gold, you can cash them, take
them and go-quick, quick, before
it's too Ete!"
He took the bundle, glanced at
its contents and stared at her with
his mouth open.
Where in mischief did you get
it, Nancy?'
"I-I got it" she stopped, lean
ing against a tree, breathles. She
was so pale that her blue eyes look
ed dark. cit doesn't matter-1 Dor
rowed it, you can have it, Roddy."
He was turning the papers over,
bonds and securities and cash. His
amazer,ent deepened as he counted
and assured himself that all were
genuine. Fifteen thousand dollars.

She did not look up, she could not,
He came in slowly and stopped be-
side her.

but there was emotion in it as deep
as hers. "I'm going out now-to
the bank. Stay here, please, with
Nanny Polk, I'll bring it straight

could not. She had risen and was

She was trembling violently and
she could not raise her eyes. He

warm on her cheek.

again. IF l thought l couldn't

Her head sank lower and there
was a little silence more eloqlen,

up and half way to the door, then
he turned back, his heart in his
eyes, hot with wrath. He wa,
thinking of Page Roemer. But
something in her attitude, in the
appealing profile, the air of grief
and helplesness, went to his heart.
He did not speak; he opened the
door and went out.
To Nancy the shutting of that
door snapped the tension. She sank
lower in her chair her eyes fixed on
a space of sunshine outside the
window where she could see the
soft green turf and here and there
the yellow flame of a crocus.
Those yellow crocuses out there
leaped up like tongues of flame, she
watched them, fascinated. If she
could only get out of that window
and run away-she caught her
breath at the thought. 1t would be
so easy! Gould she? But there was
Roddy to 60 to Jail, and her father!
She remembered and shuddered,
hiding her eyes.
She heard Nanny Folks voice,
but the words were blurred, the old
woman was babbling about Rich
ard. Nancy's ears were strained,
listening for his step coming back;
she heard, instead, the clock strike,
a single flute1ike bell, half nine.
Nanny Polk set a dish down
and turned quickly.

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE ". sPROwLs.

Impulsive behavior is life-move-
ment. In some forms life-movement
is simple; in others, extremely COM
plex. A tree grows 1t has an i'm
pulse to grow. The impulse is vital
force for which no one has as yet
accounted geranium in the window
turns toward the light. This is a
speciality in its life-formula. The i'm
pulse to turn is called light tropism.
Chemistry may one day explain it.
An amoeba is a little more COM
plex 1t specializes in two sub
movements-moving toward satisfying
things and away from annoying
things. Still the dual movement is
called a tropism. Physics and chem
istry together may one day give a
complete account of this action and
reaction, this search for pleasure and
avoidance of pain, this impulsive be-
havior.
In the case of human beings. the
life-movement may take on thousands
of submovements. inpulsive acts.
There really is no limit to the va
riety. Impulsive acts on the human
level are said to be due to instincts
and emotions. Chemistry will explain
some of them, digestion, for example.
Physics will explain others, such as
breathing. A host of other actions
and reactions are explained by psy-
chology. Anger gives rise to an i'm
pulse to strike: fear, to run away;
love, to approach. Whatever these
movements may be, they resemble. as
a whole, the original pleasure-pain
formula of the lower forms of life.

DR.. Albert H. Rowe, Oakland, Calf,
points out that sometimes this rise in
temperature is due to certain COM
mon foods eaten daily or almost daily
by the individual. Various research
physicians have shown that foods to
which an individual is sensitive" may
be responsible for an occasional or
even a prolonged rise in temperature,
both in young and adult life. when
other recognized causes of fever have
been found to be not responsible
for 1t.
This sensitiveness to certain foods
may or may not run in the patients
family; and the patient himself may
not even know that he is sensitive TO
certain foods, as he has no hives. no
head cold" or other symptoms that
often show themselves when certain
foods are eaten.
The thought, then. is that with a
fever frequently occurring, the usual
or commonest causes should first be
sought-teeth, tonsils. sinuses. intes-

The spade fish is said to be an angel

Cape Cod fishermen as well as the
Cuban anglers, catch many of the
spade fishes. as their size and finely
grained flesh make them a fine pan
fish. The younger spades have much
darker bands about their bodies and
the more faint the bands, the more
ancient the fish. The scales on all
angel fishes are very small. The
young resemble their parents.

WHO ARE YOU?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

The story surrounding the origin OF
the name tells how William II, lost
while hunting in a vast forest, was
most courteously sheltered and at
tended by a yeoman through the
night. For this act of kindliness, the
King thought the forester should be
suitably rewarded. He disclosed his
identity and created the man
knight with the rank of baron, con-
ferrlng upon him a grant OF land
consisting Of vast number of acres
known as the Kings lea" or simply
the Kings meadow. The new lord of
this estate adopted the name Of his
manor and became known as Kynges-
leigh. The name of Kingsley has
been distinguished one in England
ever since and the family produced
many eminent men and women.
Charles Kingsley, canon of West
minister Abbey. was an outstanding
representative of the name
John and Stephen Kingsley were
the founders OF the family in Amer
lea. Stephen arrived in the new
world, but a short time after the
landing of the pilgrims at Plymouth.
and first settled in Braintree, Mass.
He was one of many pioneers who
reclaimed the wilderness and his
name is recorded among the founders
of a number of New England towns.
John settled in Taunton, Mass.
There are representatives Of this
ancient and honorable name now liv-
ing in various parts of the country,
who can trace their lineage to these
two sons of England's distinguished
family.

TT HAD been a long, cold, hard
Winter. 1t had been hard on
everybody except those who had
i slept through it or, like Jerry
Muskrat and Paddy the Beaver,
had lived In comfort under the ice,
where the cold and the wind could
not get at them. and where they did
not care how deep the snow might
be. Now there were signs that sweet
Mistress Sprire was on her way. There
we're warm days. The snow was most
ly gone from the Green Meadows.
There were just patches here and
there. Over in the Green Forest there
was still plenty Of snow, but every day
there was less. The Laughing Brook
was once more laughing.
Peter Rabbit was uneasy. He
couldn't sit still long at time. He
would doze in one place a little While
and then hop to another place, per-
haps way on the other side OF the dear
Old Briar- patch. Pretty soon he would
change again. He Travelled through
all the private little paths he and Mrs.
Peter had cut through the brambles
Of the dear Old Briar patch. He even
started new ones. Sometimes he
would follow Mrs Peter about until
he made her nervous. At other times
he would seem to try to keep out OF
her way altogether Mrs. Peter knew
the symptoms. Whenever Peter be-
came uneasy and restless he was al
