Honor Faithful Dog

Hachiko, dog, has been made
symbol of faithfulness in Tokyo, and
little bronze images of him have
been presented to the emperor anc
empress of Japan. For years Hach-
ike went with his master to the rail-
way station each morning and each
evening was waiting when the train
came in. The master was killed in
a railway accident several years
ago, but the dog still goes to the sta
ton twice every day. Struck by his
faithfulness, committee was ap-
pointed to have made and distrib-
uted the little bronze Hachikos.

Prudence shut her teeth hard to

would remind Prudence Schuyler of
what constantly she was forgetting
that she was to treat Rodney Gerard

With a rapt expression, Vivian
gazed at the mosaic Of "The
Last Supper" which forms the
background for the white marble

color; it seemed all lighted. She

buried in her hands. She re-

Pippin wondered If she had fall
en- asleep.
When finally she got up, her
eyes had a dreamy excitement.
They were beautiful, like the
eyes Of the blue-robed saint in
the stained glass window.
She shook back her hair as
though breaking a spell.
"Simetimes I think I'd like to
be a nun. I'd like to kneel all
night in prayer. I'd like to hurl
myself with blind consuming
passion into a great sacrifice for
humanity. Lose yourself for a
moment to find yourself forever.
Why do we never long touch the
heights, Pippin? Life can yield
50 much more beauty than we
take"
They walked down the steps
and through the inner quad
rangle where the twilight MUIR

A young man approached. He
wore no hat. He had bright
hair-thick-bruShed back; his
head well set. He looked like

In the perfect proportions of his
body. He had a frank, boyish,

happy eyes. He was Sheridan

They went up to their room.
Vivian began hastily to dress.
Can I borrow your black
velvet and the black hat?"
wouldn't you like to take
my charming manner along,
too?"
would I! I wish I had all
the charm Of all the women
that have ever Ived!"
"Are they worth it. Vivian?
I wonder!"
"You do? What would you
give, old thing, to have your
absent lovers arms around you
tonight? Under the moon!"
She took up the perfume and
sprayed it through her hair
and about her throat. Then
she cooked Pippin'S little velvet
hat on the side Of her head.
The black dress enhanced her
pallor and her hair flaming
against the hat.
Pippin said:
"You look oriental, Vivian.
You look exciting"
Thanks for the makings.
You're a friend to have"
There were two enormous
sleeping porches in the great,
rambling old house. One OF

Pippin missed the view and
the sea breeze in her face as she
slept. But it was nice having a
companion like Vivian.
She awakened. It seemed the

a lavender kimono. The moon
