For full 10 seconds it fought for recog-
milton in her mind, tumbling about in
every corner. Stafford? Stafford?
Then she remembered. Mr.. Sheridan
had told her about this man who had
played cards for such high stakes at
Brooke's gambling house with his Royal
Highness and other leaders of the fast
London life. With Col. Byrd of West
over, Va, and other gentlemen of the
old Virginia school, who had half ruined
themselves by high play. 1t was John
Stafford who had received message
from the Prince of Wales that half the
debt would be enoubh to settle the ac-
count between them. John Stafford had
replied promptly that Virginia gentle
man never staked more than he could
afford to pay.
A ND while he stood there waiting for
~ her to speak, the most handsome
young man she had ever beheld, she
merely smiled and withdrew with only:
"Sir, your attentions would be fattering
were you gentleman of my acquaint-
ance. But not knowing you, must ask
you to cease following me like a shadow
on a sunny afternoon. I bid you good
afternoon, sir!"
But he could not let her 60. He
reached for her hand and closed his
fingers about her wrist.
Madam, thousand pardons! grow
tedious, but really must know who you
are, or else how can Virginia gentleman
effect a means of introduction? I could
stand here all afternoon running you off
a list of your charms and graces and
beauties. And then I would not ex-
aggerate. Rat me if would"

With feminine diSSimulation Diane
was at once righteously indignant at this
despicable cavalier who was not only
very despicable but overly bold!
"Why, sir! You are 1attering as
almost to deprive me of my reason! I
am Diane Christian of the Drury Lane
performers, and, if you do not unfasten
my wrist shall call Mr. Richard Brinsley
Sheridan who is doubtless at this minute
impatiently awaiting me-
And as she left the young man at the
kerb she heard only his breathless You!
. An actreSS!"
And because she detected the note of
disappointment in his voice-and, indeed,
she didn't blame him, for the theater
was no school for innocence and virtue
as one need only look back to Nell
Gwynn and the exquisite Perdita Rob-
inson, both royal mistresses, and the
others whose famous feet had trod the
boards of Drury Lane! She dried an
unhappy tear with a cobwebby hand
kerchief and pined over fate that
could be so cruel and mercilesS!
She deserved better than thisl Be-
cause her family, of genteel birth, had
been pennileSS, she must needs baSk in
the muddy reflections of the actresses
who had preceded her! She who had
refused the insulting advances of half
the rank and fashion of London! She
who had dared to refuse the advances
of his royal highneSs, the Prince of
Wales, and with him his costly presents.
Fate had decreed that she follow in the
professional footsteps of the Gwynn and
the Robinson and the others, but it had
not demanded that she follow in the
jades' private lives! To think that he,

There was no show of emotion on the
dainty. clear-cut features, save perhaps
an almost imperceptible tremble OF the
scarlet bloom of her lips The tall young
man who stood only few steps across
the f1agstones quickened his pace, but
Diane did not See so deeting had been
her glance.
But once inside the green room, lean
ing against the closed oaken door Tor
support. she pressed her mittened fin
gers to her hot cheeks and exhaled
long and weary sigh. Could she never
step out into the fog or brightness OF
London afternoon without that despic-
able cavalier trailing her? Was she
never to indulge in the pleasures OF the
shop windows without seeing his re-
Nection in the small panes? Desplcaole
cavalier, indeed! For all his evident
wealth and Bond street foppishness, he
was as unschooled in the graces OF be-
havior as the most clumsy lamp-hghter
who ever climbed a ladder!
Not 20 minutes had passed since he
had stalked behind her across West
minister Bridge, quickening or slowing his
pace until his gait matched hers. Beside
them had passed the magnificent car
riage Of the Duchess OF Cumberland.
The great lady had leaned out her head,
with its towering wig and bright plumed
chip hat to beckon to Richard Sheridan,
manager of the Drury Lane Theater, and
the clever Charles Fox, both foot-paS-
sengers on the bridge, when mad April
gale had lifted her wig and soft plumage
and had sent it floating toward the
Thames.
AR. SHERIDAN and Mr.. Fox, who had
WI witnessed the notifying spectacle,
had suddenly interested themselves in
the soaps and oilmakerS' warehouses on
the river bank, but he had sprung into
the air. like an inmate of Bedlam, to re-
trieve the wig and in so doing had ad-
dressed the back of the duchess flushed
bald-pate, in mistake for her face, with
a speech of condolence
But DANES thoughts of the deSpicable
cavalier were destined for an abrupt
ending, for the oaken door suddenly flew
open and Lady Jersey, with swish of
her satins and silks that matched the
grinding of her pretty teeth, burst into
the room.
Diane thought that mad woman had
swooped down upon her. Never the
glorious Lady Jersey! For the moment
every atom of beauty had deserted this
Eeigning favorite of the Prince of Wales.
Look at me, you breedless girl" the
Lady Jersey screamed Remember what
] was and look at mel Look at mel"
Diane did look, swaying little, too,
with some underlined terror seizing at
her heart. Dead silence. Not breath.
"A full moment elapsed with not even
f1utter of an eyelash from the women.
Then the Lady Jersey spoke, and her
voice was in control of sort. "YOu may
tell the whole of London about this
meeting! I do not care! From hence
forth I will do what please. that
will" And she lifted her graceful hands
and slapped them several times across

AIDS and diamonds leaving their crlm-
son marks. Before the poor girl could
regain her wits Lady Jersey had turned
on her indignant heel and had disap-
peared into the encroaching blue of the
twilight!
Diane had not tainted and yet she
was scarcely conscious of the strangeness
of the scene that had just passed. She
had not known how angry she was until
the door had reverberated with the
lady's departure. Then, and not until
then, did resentment and a pang of re-
venge surge over her. How dared the
royal husSy!. and what the meaning of
it all! But when she flung the door open
and dashed into the street, the Lady
Jersey was only dim shadow on the
barouche box of her already moving car
riage.
Perhaps it was because her cheeks still
smarted and her incurably Irish temper
had had no Outlet-in later years she
was to wonder about that-but when she
saw the despicable cavalier, only a pace
away, staring not at her but on the wa
tering process of a cart that was making
a pattern of mud-holes on the street, she
crossed to his side and stamped her tiny
foot loudly and would have yelled for him
to BE Off" had not anger left her in
articulate
He turned quickly on his glistening
boot heel "GadS life, madam" But
when he saw who stood there, the fe-
rOcity of his expression melted and his
eyes burned into hers with a bright. in
extinguishable flame.
DIANE whose lips had curled scornfully
and whose tongue-tip was heavy
with a loading of vicious phrases, sud-
denly felt the color drain from her face.
For the life of her she could not plot
thing to say.
The deSpicable cavalier spoke again
and his voice breathed a romance that
would have graced the boards of the
theater, so smooth it was, rich and reso-
nant, though, indeed, he had an accent.
Not French, like the Infamous Duke of
Orleans, that most advanced blackguard
of the period, but foreign, notwithstand-
ing, and hard to place.
Pray, madam" he said, bowling po-
litely. Had you better not have a bump
er of claret, so pale and shaken have
you become!"
Her silence was continued and so
alarming that he fitted handkerchief
from his sleeve and famed her delicate
features.
Finally she spoke "'Tis as easy to
mill cup of chocolate on the street
to produce bumper of claret, sir! May
I inquire your reason for this solicitude?"
She bridled sweetly, hardly knowing that
she did

Italy's Volcanoes
Are Always Threat

and some volcanoes do not build
cones.
Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, covered a
vast plain with it's flow before build
ing its present crater. The Italian vol
canoes also have cones of comparative
ecent origin. Stromboli's cone has
been built up within 1000 years. It
started out, as did Etna and Vesuvius,
as an underwater volcano. The high
er volcano builds its cone the hard
er 1t is for the lava to reach the
vent, and then vents are developed at
lower levels
Chain Around the Earth.
Great chains Of volcanoes stretch
around the earth. The greatest chain
is in the mountain range that extends
like ring around the Pacific ocean.
Other chains stretch across Asia and
Europe. The volcanic islands of the
Pacific, from Hawaii, through the
Philippines to New Zealand, mark
sub-oceanic volcanic areas.
What causes volcanoes to erupt is
not known. In recent decades observ-
atories have been established to study
them and much information is being
gathered.
Their activity is due to internal
heat Of the earth. This heat is not
the heat of the great internal core of
the earth, because that heat is reached
only at great depths, and volcanoes
do not have their roots at greater
depths than six to fifteen miles. The
heat which causes volcanic activity is
believed to be due to chemical action
and to the great pressure produced by
occluded and chemically produced
gases as reactions take place between
rock substances.
Some forces of worldwide effective
ness also may be involved. This Is in
dicated by the frequent simultaneous
activity of volcanoes or of earth
quakes in widely separated parts Of
the world.

ing friendship can only be built up
upon confidence. AS confidence is es-
sential to the security of the family,
so it is the mainstay of government
The absence of confidence in the gov
eminent means revolution. One needs
only to read of the revolutions in
France and in Russia to be convinced
of this point.
We are not surprised then to read,
in almost every appeal for loyalty to
our government that we should culti-
vate confidence. The restoration Of
confidence seems to be the main OBJ
jective. Just so! There is no other
way to win back more prosperous
days. When we speak of confidence,
however, we seem to have in mind a
return of trust in some vague and in
tangible thing like chattels, mort
cages, or even money. Now let US
ask in all candor how any person can
have confidence in an intangible OBJ
ject. We may have faith in the re-
actions Of certain known laws which
are bound TO respond when we place
them to the test, like iron which will
invariably be attracted to the magnet.
But confidence is quite another thing.
1t implies action in the field Of human
personality: The appeal which comes
to US, if we understand 1t Alright. is for
confidence in persons; in the integrity
and the moral value of promises and
covenants. Confidence then is not

Students Seek Famous
Authors Lost Writings

st. Louis, Mo.-Research students at
Washington university here are en-
gagged in the unique task of reclaim
ing for literature the works of writ
er, who gained international fame
nearly one hundred years ago only to
die in mysterious obscurity.
He was known as Charles Sealsfield,
"The Great Unknown" but events to-
ward the end of his life in 1864 tended
to conform that he actually was Carl
Postl of Poppitz, Moravia, from whence
he fled a monastery as boy.
Through a grant from the Rookie
Teller foundation, staff of four stu
dents under DIR. Otto Heller, dean of
the graduate school, is compiling as
much of the works as possible in the
hope of an IS volume edition.
A man widely Travelled, Sealsfield
tried through his writings to interpret
America to Europe. He wrote Eng
lish sentences automatically in Ger
man. a custom which lost him favor
abroad.
Shortly before his death in 1864,
Sealsfield destroyed the manuscript Of
his biography, and left an estate val
ued at about $4,000 to the family Of

ALUMINIUM 70 FOLLOW IRON

Mankind has progressed through
the Stone and Bronze ages and is
now at the end of the Iron age, ac-
cording to Prof. Colin Funk of Col
umbia university. There is more
aluminium than iron in the earth's
crust, he says, and aluminium is
lighter and can be made just as
strong as steel for most purposes.
Railroads, he predicts, will tighten
their equipment by using this metal,
and speed up trains to 100 miles an
hour to compete with the growing
air traffic. Transatlantic boats will
also be much lighter and operate at
higher speeds, while buildings will
do away with heavy walls and be
constructed almost entirely of glass
and light metal. He predicts that
we will be well into the new age In
another ten years.-Pathfinder Mag

THE intense heat of summer made
L many householders consider hav-
ing awnings for windows which have
been left unprotected hitherto. From
the standpoint Of economy, now Is a
good time to do this work since there
are excellent opportunities to buy
awnings, ready to put up, at decided
reductions, and awning cloth very
specially priced. By having the win
dows done now, the awnings will be
ready for next year as soon as the
heat Of the sun and the glare becomes
uncomfortably strong. 1t is for

advance styles.
Awnings not only redtce the tenn
perature Of rooms, and soften the light
but they go far toward dressing up the

ornamental element featured for the

to remember this type Of awning when
taking advantage Of late summertime

Fringes Featured.
Another feature to hold in mind Is
that fringe is the smartest finish for
valances. White fringe is in high
favor even though there may be no
touch of white In the awning cloth.
The decided contrast accents the
style. Or it may be that the awning
cloth is in one plain color and geo.

Stromboli Again Gives Is
Ianders a Bad Scare.

Rome.-Stromboli the constantly
active volcano on small island in the
Mediterranean at the toe Of Italy,
burst into more than usual activity
few days ago causing fear among the
residents Of the island and the nearby
mainland. The activity quickly SUBJ
sided to normal, relieving the terrors
of the Inhabitants who know that
Italy's volcanoes have record for be-
ing bad actors when aroused. Vesu-
vius, in 70 B. O., buried Pompeii and
two other cities, and after more than
1900 years relative inactivity burst
forth with tremendous violence in
1881 and wiped out $4,000 people.

canoes are duplicated in hundreds of
places throughout the world where
volcanoes are located in areas SO

lated.
Not All Volcanoes Have Cones

active, or sentative, volcanoes on
the earth, but only about 400 are
known and recorded. To the average
person a volcano is a cone-shaped
montain out of the peak Of which is
