But he's 50 amusing" argued Lobo, the
Afghan hound he looked imploringy at the
spaniel beside him.
Shot was three years his senior, and a dog
of the world. He had come over three years
ago from England with his master and mis-
tress, and could weave long, thrilling sagas to
his junior, bringing in strange words like:
1.-The Twelfth, " preserves, 1.-The birds were
rising" down by the third butt" At least,
they were thrilling to the spaniel.
Lobo truth to tell, one of Riviera litter

beginning to find them boring, especially
during heat wave, as now. He wanted to

What does that mean?"
Il don't know, but you have to be very

did he tell you that, too?"
"W-why yes," stammered Lobo His ears
dropped with disappointment; for he had said
to his new friend: Drop in whenever you like
up at our villa. I'd like you to meet my
friend, Shot. He's English, like you" And
now Shot would only murmur:
Talking through his muzzle. He's riff-raff;
I've seen him."
Mmmuring something about a drink, he
went round the terrace towards the trough
at the back of the villa.
Inside the large, cool, green-shuttered
drawing room, very much the same scene had
arisen between Godfrey Wyndham and his
pretty young wife:

YOU could ever bring yourself even to speak

Godfrey adored his wife, but he was con-

in her voice. For the sake of his health they

RIDDLE OF LIFE
NEARER SOLUTION
Discovery of ChIorophyII in
Lettuce Seed Hailed by
Scientists.
BY the Associated Press.

Discovery that chlorophyll, the
green coloring matter of plants. is
also present in lettuce seed is hailed
by two Washington scientists as new
contribution to the understanding OF
how plants grow and and aid in solv-
ing of the basic riddle of life.
DR.. Lewis H. Flint of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and DR.. E. D.
McAlister of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition said they found that chloro-
phyll in the seeds responded to light
in almost exactly the same way as
chlorophyll in the leaf of plant BY
exposing the seeds to the right kinds
Of light, they said. they increased the
termination of dormant seeds by more
than 400 per cent.
Certain Wave Lengths Best.
Yellow. orange and red wave lengths
of light were found to be the stirnu-
lating rays, McAlister said, adding
that those rays were absorbed to a
much greater extent and apparently
supplied the spark which sent the
chlorophyll in the seeds into action
and resulted in sprouting.
Chlorophyll is regarded by scientists
as the engine which uses the energy
of sunlight to manufacture carbohy-
drates out of carbon dioxide and water
through complex chainlike chemical
reactions. And. since all mans food
and clothing and much of the power
1a &c IonarInot y11orfc rh1n.
rophyll is one of the fundamentals OF
eXistense, they say.
The discovery of chlorophyll in let
| tuce seeds brings the problem of chlo-
rophyll action one step nearer tc
solution, McAlister and Flint said
since it apparently must be present
for growth even to begin. They sug.
gested the possibility of further an
alyzing it by exact determinations oi
the quality of light reaching the earth
from the sun.
Carrot Yellow Predominates.
The green pigment is present in
the lettuce seed only in small quanti-
| ties. McAlister explained, most of the
coloring matter being carotene, or the
yellow pigment most noticeable ir
carrots. A solution made from the
seeds when viewed through 4-fooi
tube showed a dominant yellow color
with a tinge of green.
THE close analogy between the
critical wave lengths of radiation in.
fluencing seed termination and the
critical wave lengths of radiation alb.
sorbed by chlorophyll and allied pig
ments places distinct emphasi
upon what perhaps is a new anc
promising viewpoint" the scientists
said.

The creditor was assigned a small

he found his wife had taken out the

It would do. He hoped into it and
went to town. Finding no parking
place, he parked double and went
about his business. Returning, he ex-
