Green Regarded as Sacred
Among the Mohammedans

Green, which stands for immor-
tally, is regarded by Mohamme-
dams as a scared color, and is sell
dom employed by the orthodox Mo-
hammedan in weaving rugs and
carpets. When Mahomet made one
Of his flights (hegira) from Mecca
to Medina, his followers raised a
flag of green cloth, which was
most accessible at the time, and
thereafter it became the sacred
color of Mohanmedans. The irreg-
ularity Of design in rugs, which may
appear to be the result Of careless
ness, is frequently the Intentional
work of devout weaver to en-
phasize his belief that only Allah
can be perfect.

Was it part Of legal procedure to
keep clients in suspense? The Sec
rotary in the outer office had shown
her into this room, had said that she
was expected, that the Junior part

at liberty in few moments.
Restlessly she crossed to the win

hangings to shut off the electric light
in the room behind her. What a
view! Roofs. Tiers of roofs alive
with pigeons. Patches of bright blue
broke up the pattern of gray clouds.
Weather vanes pointed to theSnorth.
Innumerable wires etched gigantic
cobwebs against the sky. Skylights
shone like sheets Of molten brass as
they reflected the sun.

ness world. She had been buffeting
her way in it for five years.
'Miss Reyburn ought to be here,
Mark, but I suppose like the ma
jority of women she has no idea
of the value of mans time"
The annoyed comment in the
room behind her snapped Brooke
out of her reflections. How like a
man to assume that she was at
fault. She would make a dramatic
entrance, and then
"G1ad she is late. I told you, Jed,

hanging. That must be Mark

trance. He was going. AS soon as
the door closed, she would appear
and explain to Mr.. Stewart why she
had been at the window; meantime
she would be strictly honorable
and not listen. She stuffed her fin
gers into her ears.
At the same moment on the other
side of the hangings, Jed Stewart
was saying:

ut wasn't. Grandfather Trent had
two houses built exactly alike, one
for his daughter, Mary Amanda,
and one for his son, my father; the
Other House, the family called ours.
Not satisfied with that, he had them
set side by side on rocky promon-
tory-he intended them for summer
homes only-with doors through the
library downstairs and the hall on
the second floor and connecting bal
comics; he was a glutton for balco-

it might be unpleasant for my aunt
to have strangers near when she

what she does to me. She picks up
this girl and later, while I'm start

''Don't go, Mark. I asked Miss
Reyburn to come here this after
noon to tell her what financial ar
rangements have been made for
her, but principally to get you two
face to face so that we could
straighten out this mess about the
personal property in the house"
Mess! Do you call a sound, UNI
breakable will a mess? Aunt Mary
Amanda Dane warned me that if I
married Lola she would cut me off
with the proverbial shilling; then,
when my divorce became neces-
sary, she was more opposed to it
than she had been to the marriage.
Can you peat that for inconsistency?

French man and wife who have
worked for and worked Mary Aman-

"You haven't caught your aunt's
ideas on divorce, have you? You
don't feel tied to that woman who
ran away with that French count,
do you? You divorced her, didn't
you? YOU"
"Hold everything! We were talk
ing of the Reyburn girl. You have
nerve to make the suggestion that
I marry her. Men have been put on
the spot for less. I wouldn't marry
that schemer if"
Brooke flung back the hanging in
a passion of rage.
Nobody asked you to!" She
cleared her voice of hoarseness,
and famed:
"Has it never occurred to you,
Mark Trent" She stopped, her
eyes wide with amazement. Was
this really the man who had pulled
her from in front of that speeding
car? After the first flash there was
no recognition in his eyes, nor
any concern, rather a quiet mock
cry, which, she felt, at the first word
of hers would turn into active dis
like.
You! YOU" Her breath caught
in laugh that was half sob. what
a mean break for you that you didn't
know who I was, that you didn't
let that car hit me! Then you would
have had the money"
She had never seen face so col
orless as Mark Trent's as his eyes
met hers steadily.
Lucky l didn't know who you
were, wasn't it? I might have been
tempted. Schemers somehow lead
charmed lives"
For split second Brooke thought
that fury had paralyzed her tongue.
She made two attempts to speak
before she protested angrily:
I'm not schemer! / suppose it
never has occurred to you that the
'Reyburn girl may have loved
Mary Amanda Dane? May have
been glad to spend one evening
week in honey old house away
from her whole darn family in

/ thought she might soften toward

wanted to bequeath her house, her
money, and her jewels to a girl she
had picked up via radio, okay. But
why didn't she tell me about the
Reyburn female? Why not ask me
to meet her before I went to South
America? That's what makes me
suspicious. The secrecy Of their
friendship. Was the girl afraid that

my aunt against her? If was so

wise to Mary Amanda's fortune? I

the night the companion-nurse had

motive to commute 20 miles after
business hours. She's fashion adj

she?"
"Yep. Worked up from model.
Mary Amanda Dane tuned in on
the radio one morning just as
Brooke Reyburn was giving her
fashion talk. She fell in love with
her voice, and wrote to the girl ask
ing what the weu-dressed invalid
tied to a wheel chair was wearing.
Miss Reyburn answered with such
sympathetic understanding that
your aunt invited her to Lookout
House."
"It's fairy story brought up to
date. Only, for the spell of
witch, substitute the broadcast of

not only the money but Mary Aman-
da's jewels, many Of which were
my grandmother's.''
Brooke dropped her hands from
her ears after what seemed hours.
Still talking? Perhaps Jed Stewart
was talking to the office boy. She
heard him say:
"Your aunt said in her will, re-
member, that if she left the jewels
to you, you might-well, that Miss
Reyburn would appreciate them.

burns shoe turned sharply as she
ran across the street. She went
down on one knee just as the traffic
light turned green. She had con-
fused sense of an automobile bear
ing down on her, the screech of
brakes, Of painting cars, of arms
lifting her to the sidewalk.
"Hurt?" a voice demanded.
I'm all right, really I am. It
was my silly heel that threw me-"
she assured breathlessly, even as
she moved her knee experimental
ly. It worked It wasn't broken.
why wear such fool heels? If
you're not hurt, why did you
wince?"
The mans voice was husky; his
eyes had third-degree intentness
which reused a little demon of OPP
position. Brooke retorted crisply:
IF you insist upon probing the
secrets of my young life, think
I've skinned my knee"
She thought the man spoke as
she merged in the stream Of pass
ers-by. She passed the building to
which she had been hurrying to
keep an appointment when she
crossed the street. She wouldn't go
in yet, she'd better wait till her
still humping heart quieted be-
fore she entered the offices Of Stew
art and Stewart, Attorneys at Law,
she had too much pride to appear
there breathless and shaken. That
had been a narrow escape, not only
for her, but for the man who had
snatched her from the path Of that
speeding car, and-horrible thought
she hadn't even said "Thank
you'll"
If only she knew who he was she
could write him, but he might
have been a stranger passing
through the city whom she never
would see again. In that case she
would have to bear always this
pricking sense of being ashamed Of
herself, it would bring her sitting
Straight up in bed when she thought
of it at night.
She stopped at flower shop. Its
color and beauty were like sooth-
ing hand on her smarting con-
science. The air had but hint of
the crispness of early October.
Overhead steeple clock chimed.
The sound reminded Brooke of her
engagement. She WINGED as she
moved.
After a furtive look about, she
examined her knee. Skinned. She
had known it. Shreds of her silk
stocking chung to the raw flesh. She
WINGED as her lowered skirt scraped
it. Her unknown rescuer need not
fear that she would forget that les
son in a hurry, she thought as she
entered the office of the junior part

Where was MIR. Jed Stewart?
There was an open book on his
large flat desk. The title fairly
jumped at her.
UNDERWOOD ON WILLS
Brooke's heart did nose-dive.
Did that particular book on that
particular desk mean that Stewart
and Stewart were preparing to con-
test the will in which she had been
named residuary legatee?
Silly, she derided herself, wasn't |
the firm executor Of the estate Of
Mary Amanda Dane? Hadn't Mr..
Jed Stewart notified her that the
will had been allowed, that she had
acquired fortune, hadn't he asked
her to be at his office today at four?
It was her late shake-up and this
gloomy room which had started her
imagination on the rampage. Where
it wasn't knotty pine it was walled
