CHAPTER XII

She was in pale blue, the broad
straw hat that dipped about her
face and lent an almost toe pictur.
esque beauty to her appearance had
a childish blue ribbon about it; the
pale scallops of the frail blue gown
swept the young spring grass. Se-
rena's eyes were at their bluest,
too, grave loving, reproachful.
Lover, had to see you," she
said. ''Was this terribly stupid of
me? I had to see you"
Quentin had .involuntarily glanced
back toward the garden and the
house. He and she were sheltered
by dozen intervening. hedges and
trees and angles of fence. He
looked at her unsmilingly.
II don't quite like it," he said
deliberately.
''Why, ! went to see Victoria and
her mothe1 often while you were
gone, why shouldn't r." the woman
said, in sort of proud impatience.

Victoria raised her round eyes.
''Is that the line?"
''1'm telling you about it," Quen-
tin muttered. surprised at himself.
But you're not like most women,
you're differentI I need you, even
in this. / can't get out, unless you
help get me out. let myself in
for it, I've nobody to blame but
myself, but I can't get myself out.
She's everywhere" he went on,
glancing up restlessly, glancing
back again. ''If Johnny and go
to lunch at the. St. Francis hotel,
she's there; she comes across the
room. He knows about it, Vic;
every doctor IN my Office knows.
They're all Snug when she comes
in. Miss CleveS in the outer Office,
is so damn discreetl Doctor, Mrs.
Morrison, and she says she's in
great pain!' That'sfor the benefit of
the people who are waiting, people
in real pain. We used to think it
was great joke. It doesn't seem
so funny now! And the minute she
comes in. 'Quent, what have I
done? Who's been talking about
me?'"
Quentin stared for some time into
the fire in silence. After time he
said:
''Would you go away?"
''If I were you?"
II mean all of us. Simply move
out. We could have a city house
now, for the kids schools, and a
country place. too. Or we could
take up that Boston proposition.
Why not get away from it all?"
'You mean run away" Victoria
amended the phrase slowly.
''We1l, I suppose that's what it
would amount to-"
81 don't think you can ever run
away from anything, Quent. I was
thinking" Victoria said, "of Marty;
if anything ever happened to Marty.
I was thinking: How can bear
the nursery and the crib and his
brown dog on the chain, how can I
bear to 60 back to five children
when I've had six?' And thought
them" she went On. speaking stead
lily, but with brimrning eyes-'T
thought then that we'd have to 60
away, that we couldn't stand it!
But I don't think SO now. You can't
run away from anything. You can't
run away from sorrow, or from"
she jerked her head in the direc-
tion Of the Morrison house-"or
from anything you've DONE" she
said.
''But Vic, I tell you honestly,
can't stand her! She's making my
life a burden" Quentin said SIM
ply, and if there was anything alb
surd in the situation neither husband
nor wife was in the mood to see
it. EVERY time I come out to the
elevator at the Office, I'm afraid
she's there. I've had ten days Of it
now, and tell you it's getting on
my nerves!" RI
Victoria's eyes were on the fire.
"I've had three years of it," she
said quietly. There was a long ST.

Socrates On trial

When Socrates was on trial, with
the penalty. as he well knew, of
death if found guilty, he gave a
lecture, not a defense, when it came
time to speak ia his behalf. He
declared fearless1y that if it was
required of him to state how the
public in justice ought to treat him,
he could only say that they ought to
recognize him as public benefactor
and maintain him at the states ex-
pense, for he had spent his whole
life in the service Of his country.

''But couldn't we go home on the
train after dinner? Duna'd take us;
he could take us the way he did the
circus day?" Kate Keats pleaded
eagerly.

There was a general swarm ot
children toward him, accompanied
by the usual deafening uproar, and
Quentin came up to the women
with the younger members of his
family hanging on him like limpets.
Violet Keats thought he looked older
indeed; there were touches Of silver
in his Indian-brown temples, and
he seemed quieter, somehow; more
like the old remembered Quentin;
she liked the expression Of his face.
He was genuinely happy to see
her; kissed her in the old brotherly
fashion; they had not seen each
other since his return from a three
months visit to Germany. Violet
questioned him about it, and he sat
holding the delicate little Martin
very gently in his big hands, and
sometimes kissing the top Of the ba-
by's dark fluffy little head. The
question Of the Keatses remaining
was presently raised.

The ensuing wild pandemonium Of

''In the way? Love to have 'em.

''I'll go in with you, vi, and see

arms for the baby. ''You come

she said. 'tNurse has something to

She called over her shoulder to

"Coming?"

ing: "Him that overcometh will
make a pillar in the temple of my
God!"
The word "overcometh" as used here
is the word "nikao," meaning "to con-
quer." Those Christians were being
slaughtered by bloody persecution,
but the Beloved John writes for them
to hold on, for he who conquers his
fear of death and braves the martyrs
death will be made pillar in the eter-
nal temple of God.
What wealth of spiritual fact is
here presented to US in this inspired
symbolism-a pillar in the Temple of
my God!
How impressive are those massive
columns in the Cathedral of st. John
the Divine! How well do they typify
achievement in Christian character.
Cut from the quarries of sin, and
having had all irregularities smoothed
by the faithful living, and then polish
ed by Divine grace, the Christian, as
an upright column of granite, becomes
forever a part of the eternal Temple
of God!

NORTHAMPTON FARMERS
COMPLETED PLANTING

With fair weather prevailing Nor
champion farmers have now about com
pleted planting their 1887 Irish potato
crop. At least those who should be
in the know estimate that better than
niney per cent of the crop is under
ground. The planting period is a.
bout the same as that of the average
year, not materially earlier or later,
though it was thought at one time
that planting would be done consider
ably earlier than usual. Rainy wealth
err held up the work to some little ex-
tent and the seed were not injured
as lower temperatures halted the
sprouting process which at one time
was felt would necessitate getting
them in the ground at once.
While the ground springs are high
and there has been much rainy wealth
er the fall has not been sufficiently
heavy to make planting at all dan

MARION SCHOOL WILL EN-
LARGE CAMPUS ROOM

The Home and School League of
Marion School last week, was sue
.cessful in completing negotiations
whereby the field at the Marion High
and Elementary School is to be en-
larged by three acres. The deed, re-
corded in the office of the Clerk of
the Circuit Court, shows the transfer
of three acres from H. P. Tull to The
Board of Education of Somerset coun-
ty.
However the Home and School Lea
que of Marion is providing most Of
the funds to pay for the added grounds
and the new equipment that it will
install for the convenience and pleas
ure of Marion residents as we'll as
pupils and patrons of the school.
The land, which is situated directly
in the rear of the present school
grounds will allow the athletic field
to be enlarged sufficiently to take
care of regulation size soccer field,
baseball diamond, track, and two ten
mis- courts, besides give space for
play for the elementary school chill
dren that will be equipped with slides
see-saws, swings and Juvenile merry
go-round, if present plans materialize.
This added field will also be suf-
ficiently large to allow the Somerset
County Field anil Track exercises to
be held at the Marion site. This has
been impossible, heretofore, because of
lack of room.
The addition to the school field was
made possible through the, cooperation
of the Home and School League under
the capable President.

s'THE EASTERN SHORE
IN SONG AND STORY

"The Eastern Shore In Song and
Story" collection of poetical tributes
to the Shore both in prose an verse,
will shortly be published in book form
by w. C.. Thurston, widely known as
the Poet Laureate of the Shore.
Many local contributors will be rep
resented in its Columns, and the text
will be literally interspersed with bits
of folklore, tradition and pen pictures
of the idyllis life of loving
people. Appropriately illustrated, it
will contain numerous sketches of
places of unusual interest in every
county on the Shore.
I'M. Thurston has been ten years
gathering material, which he proposes
to incorporate in book different
from any heretofore published on the
Eastern Shore. 1t must be, he says, an
artistic book, tinted with the blue of
Maryland skies, and rounded with soft
curves like to the Fairy forms of our
Eastern Shore girls. A book full of
laughter and tears and clean senti-
meat-redolent with the tang of the
sea and the flowers that bloom in his
second Eden.
It will not be heavy book-noth-
ing indigestible in its pages. No
preachments-no lectures-no ten
commandments only light and read

cabbage crop now in the ground some
weeks, showed that the weather and
soil conditions were not adverse to
the crops, but on the other hand were
highly favorable.
A further investigation and check
up in that County bears out the state
ment made through this column by
Mr.. j. V. Moore three weeks ago, that
there will not be any increase in the
acreage planted. Mr.. Moore's survey
and that conducted by the newspaper
were entirely separate but reached
identical conclusions.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
MORE THAN A MILLION
FOR DELAWARE HIGHWAYS

More than a million dollars in new
highway and bridge construction will
be started by the State Highway De-
partment as soon as the weather is
favorable, possibly within two weeks,
it was announced last Friday.
w. w. Mack, chief highway engi-
neer, revealed that as of January 81
there was $1,O27,OO0 worth of work
under contract. Little work has been
done on any of these projects due to
unfavorable weather.
Most of the work is scheduled to
be completed by late summer or ear
ly fall
In addition several sidewalk jobs
will be undertaken in the county.
Among them are North Main street
in Newark, three-quarters of a mile
along the Cononwingo road, now
nearly complete and the sidewalk on
the west side of Naaman's Creek
Bridge on the Philadelphia Pike to
prevent chillren from the Aliline Viii
lage section crossing the highway or
walking in the road when going to
and from the Claymont High School.
The new part of the sidewalk there
will be 80 of mile long and cost $4,-
200.
Among the large jobs under con-
tract to be started in other parts of
the State as soon as weather steadies
are: Silver Lake Bridge upon which
progress has been slow due to wealth
er conditions, $4,000; traffic bound
roal from Adamsville to Burrsville,
$4,000; Peters Grove School to Bar
ker's Landing, $4,000; Vines Creek
to Sandy Landing $4,000; Millsboro
to Harmon School, widening and re-
surfacing, 1882 900, and Lewes to Cape
Henlopen, $4,000.
In addition there are many small
timber and concrete bridges to be con-
structed, sidewalks to be laid, and 9TH
er smaller highway jobs in Kent and
Sussex counties all of which are now
under contract. Many of the jobs
will take the entire summer to COM
plete.

SUMS FIRE CLOUD
MYSTERY PROBED
Carnegie Institution Officers
to Hear Results of
Investigation.

Mysterious fire cloud eruptions of
the sun which directly affect the
earth are being studied by scientists
OF the Mount Wilson Observatory and
the terrestrial magnetism laboratory
OF the Carnegie Institution of Wash
ington.
Results OF the joint Investigations to
date form part of the exhibit of the
years scientific and technical devel-
opments being arranged today at the
institution headquarters, Sixteenth
and P streets NV, for the annual
meeting OF the trustees tomorrow.
The phenomenon of these exceed
lngly brilliant clouds, which OCCASION
ally burnt forth on the sun, reach their
maximum brightness in from 10 to 80
minutes, and then slowly subside, has
been known for the past century
without any appreciation of their sig
nificance. During the last year the
Mount Wilson astronomers have kept
continuous watch for them with spe-
cial observing instruments known as
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Nearly 100 have
been seen, as many as in all the pre-
ceding 80 years of solar observation.
Affect Radio Signals.
The appearance of one of these fire
cloud bursts. it has been observed,
almost invariably is accompanied by
fade-out of short-wave radio signals
on the earth. Thus they become a
menace, especially to aviation. They
are the most spectacular Of all solar
phenomena. Beside them the great
solar eruptions observed at the time
OF solar eclipses around the ring of
the corona are feeble.
They usually occur" says the Car
negie report, "in the neighborhood of
active sun spots, although there is ap-
parently no definite connection be-
tween them and the spots. They rise
high up in the solar atmosphere. far
above the level of the sunspots and,
when seen at the edge of the sun,
look like tongues of fame extending
outward from the round solar disk.
When an eruption has faded out
the sunspots and other details of the
solar surface, which may have been
completely blotted out by it, are again
seen, apparently unchanged by the
tremendous activity that has taken
place far above them. In only one
exceptional case has any increase in
the brightness of the sun ever been
observed under such an eruption,
Sometimes two or more eruptions oc-
cur almost simultaneously near differ
ent spot groups, suggesting that they
may be due to some common cause
which manifests itself at widely sepa-
rated spots on the sun.
Hydrogen and Helium Gases.
Analysis of the light from these
eruptions shows that they are COM
posed mainly of hydrogen and helium,
and that they radiate only the char
acterlStic colors peculiar to these gases.
The visible radiations of these bright
eruptions, although intense, cannot
account for the observed terrestrial
results, which indicates that an i'm
mense increase in the invisible ultra
violet light must accompany them.
Following the annual inspection by
the trustees tomorrow, the exhibit will
be thrown open to the general public
on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Lectures will be given each day by
members of the staff, explaining the
exhibits.
