ONCE UPON SEPT. IND.

A 39-year-old red-haired woman,
Cleopatra, changed the history of the
western world, Sept. 2, 81 B. c. But
for her we today would be different
people.
The Roman fleet of Octavia Gaze
sar, and the Roman and Egyptian
fleet of Marc Anthony and Cleopatra
met in battle near the Mediterranean
town of Actium, Greece. Upon the
result depended Anthony's hopes of
recreating the vanished world en-
pire of Egypt with himself and Cleo
patra on the throne, and Octavian
Caesars design of disposing of his only
important rival.
Each side had about 200 ships and
the contest was even and in doubt
until Cleopatra, for apparently no rea-
son, suddenly ordered her 60 ships to-
ward Egypt. Antony might still have
won, but alarmed by his mistress
abrupt act, he followed her in a swift
galley, leaving his fleet to be over
whelmed by Octavian, and causing
Rome to become the leader of civili-
zation and the controlling influence
in modern culture.
This, one of the greatest blunders
in history, is still one of the most
mysterious.

CHAPTER III.

Although they sailed home within
two days and on the fastest boat
ever built, the voyage seemed almost
endless to Carol. She urged Hartley
not to cut short his vacation. She
would be quite all right, eSpecially as
one of her teachers would be on the
boat to chaperone her. But he would
not hear of being separated from her.
Before they left she had even spoken
over the phone to her father and his
voice reassured her She said play
fully she would like to have him send
. radio to her each day, so people
would know she was important.
Surely, she would say to herself when
fear refused to be banished, every
thing was all right; it was only that
horrible upstart of a Duke Bradley
who for some reason had wanted to
hurt her.
They were to arrive in Saratoga on
one of the big race days of the sea-
son. Trains were too SLOW; only a
plane would be an antidote to Carols
impatience. When their car stopped
at Brookdale, Carol had jumped out
almost before it stopped. The door
was open and she ran in, only to run
out again, her face glowing with hap
piness.
They're at the races" she cried.
so daddy must be all right"
Carol was conscious of the sensation
they created when they reached the
track. Perhaps she held her head a
little higher than usual. perhaps
there was little more Of what she
believed to be an Oxonian accent
when she spoke to old friends who
greeted her; perhaps she was a trife
too graclously formal to people she
had known all her life. Hartleys dis

the excitement of coming back in tri-
umph may have turned her head.
There were raised eyebrows and
shrugs Of shoulders as they pushed
their way through the crowd, but even
the most scathing critic would have
had nothing to find fault with when
she saw her grandfather

to the club house and get some BIZ
carbonate and glass of water. That's
all he needs, but he needs it in q
hurry"
He lowered Jim into a chair and
stood looking down at him. with his
lips he motioned to Hartley Madison,
who had come up, to get a doctor.
Easy, old man." he said softly, as
he famed Jim with a newspaper he
picked up from the ground. you
know, bicarb always turns the trick,

He spoke in low voice, full OF feel

matters"
1T was outrageous" she said.

for moment her onslaught would

would have to rescue you"
Duke? He loved it. saw wide
grin on his face"
"Well, it was funny in a way. Listen,
Carol, you mustn't take it too seriously
You didn't lose your sense Of humor
over there in London, did you? I've
always heard they're shy on humor."
Il don't think common, noisy, cheap
people are funny" she said.
She's not exactly what one would
call refined admit, and I'm glad you
are dif1erent-just happen to like your
type better. But I'd say her heart was
both big and warm"
But, daddy you can't be blaming
me for not liking to associate with

I'm not blaming you for anything,
but Carol, dear, I'll be more dsap-
pointed than can tell you II you 60

you can scold me whenever you want
to, but no one else can"
Suddenly she felt him sway. She
looked up in his face and just managed
to keep from crying out in terror.
Sorry. he gasped. Just a little
faint-help me to that chair"
Evening star., 1937-07-21

Il have completely lost my head"
said Carol as the two men shook hands.
Never had any to lose, I'd say"
grunted the old man.
And Rosett, you darling-Hartley,
this is my nurse. How I got along
without her these two years I don't
know, but when we're married she's
coming with me. Aren't you, you
bossy old thing?"
L sure is, honey" said the beaming
Rosetta.
. Suddenly Carol cried, But daddy
isn't he here? Is he in the hospital
Or"
Are you plain loony?" answered
her grandfather. Whatever would he
be in hospital for? He wasn't quite
up to scratch while back-nothing
serious-I'd have let you know if it
had been. He's where you might know
he'd be-up at the tracks, and time
we got there, too, if We see the Grand

Carol had never been more angry
in her life. Her rage swept away the
relief she felt at her grandfather s
words. Sober father had not been
really i'll. When she met that Duke
Bradley!
Then she saw her father and her
first thought was, "Oh, he looks 50

outstretched arms. "Oh, darling, dar-
