plain to you what I mean, darling,

You wouldn't understand. The fact
that I love Peter and Peter loves me
doesn't mean a thing to you-be-
cause you're too hard and callous

BILE Of love yourself.

and turned away. At the door she
paused. sally Aliens been want
ing you to spend a weekend with
her for ages, darling. It would be
wonderful if you ran out there"
Claudia opened her mouth and
closed it again without speaking. In
that moment she understood what
her sister had meant by saying
"even if I have to fight you with
your own weapons" Diane had
resorted to artifice; she had lied
about Nigel Todd. In that case it
was an even fight
Looking through the window she
saw Diane and Peter talking togeth-
er out on the terrace. She watched
them moment and then laughed
bitterly. It wasn't an even fight.
Hardly. Diane had won-and it was
too late to do anything about it.
Still laughing, Claudia went to the.

Goldfish Are Produced
by Selective Breeding

Goldfish as we know them do not
exist anywhere in the wild state.
They are a product Of long years
Of selective breeding. The wild fish
from which goldfish were developed
belong to the carp family and are
numerous in the streams Of China.
They do not naturally have the gold
en- hue, but are dark in color, much
like ordinary carp, although the spe-
cies tends toward albinism.
Centuries ago the Chinese fish cul-
turists interbred light-colored speci-
mems and produced many beautiful
varieties. Fanciers further induced
and strengthened the golden and
silvery colors by regulating the
quantity Of mineral in the water.
When goldfish are restored to a
natural environment, says a writer
in the indianapolis News, they often
revert to the original dark color aft
er few generations. It is supposed
that goldfish were introduced into
England in 1891. Some of the first
specimens sent to France were pre-
sented to Nine. de Pompadour, mis-
tress Of Louis XIV. Goldfish are
produced in large commercial aqua
RUINS.

An Even
Fight

~ ElNG desperate, Claudia deC1d-
~ ed to resort to desperate means
to achieve her end. She cast about
in her mind for some course Of ac-
ton, be it's nature scurrilous or 9TH
erwise, and, finding none, merely
glared across at Diane and Peter.
There was no doubt but what Diane
was enjoying quick and complete
success.
Claudia hadn't expected COMPETE
ton from little sister Diane. Diane
was one Of the quiet, unassunning
type Of girls, who would rather give
In than argue, who had heretofore
quietly disapproved, but never in
terfered with Claudia's lack Of
scruples in the matter Of breaking
young mems hearts and finding
pleasure in it.
It was hard to believe that Diane
was at last actually asserting bit
of Northumberland vastly annoy

Unconsciously Claudia's eyes
wandered about the room, as If in
search of some weapon, and present.
ly her glance fell on the newspaper
lying atop the terraces wicker la

page was name, name that at
present was very much in the pub
lie eye by virtue Of the fact that it
belonged to Americas greatest foot

It was as If fate provided her
with the weapon she sought. I'M
pulsively she said: ooh, Di, dar-
ling, did I mention about meeting
Nigel Todd yesterday"
Diane and Peter stopped talking.
They looked in her direction, and
Claudia's pulse leaped. Peters eyes
had lighted and interest glowed.
II say, that's splendid! What sort
of chap is Todd? I'd like to meet
the boy. He's certainly a frst-rate
player"
Claudia fuffed her hair and said
casually, "And first-rate man with
the ladies'" She u laughed lightly.
He's coming down tomorrow.
We're to have dinner together" She
had intended to say more, but
Diane, unexpectedly, astonishingly
Interrupted.
"Oh, that will be just grand! Well
all have dinner together. Then you'll
have your chance to meet him,
Peter"
Peter looked family perturbed.
''But, after all, perhaps your sister
and Todd had planned something"
"They won't mind. Especially

make things awkward.
She smiled winningly at Diane.

can stay over and I'll drive him up
myself. Besides" she bounded to
her feet, "I'u call Nigel on the phone
and ask him to come earlier"
She started for the house, and
Claudia rose in some alarm. ''No!
Wait! You really shouldn't. I mean,

She disappeared inside, and Claudia,
