In her heart. there was hope
that was bursting into flower.
She was going to- America. The
last flame had come out Of the
embers that had burned steadily,
without hope, for nearly seven
years. ''~ - - ~

And Eflin Verlaine had said,

Mari thought, with a trace of
bitterness, that she had given her
man plenty of rope and it had
served only to tie her heart into
knots.

Now, it is all right for workers in

terday. she saw a heartsick. angry
girl '0]holding back her tears,
stitiing the ache in her heart as
this same view recededl from her
at the rail Of another ship. 81.
She saw the little upstairs shop
on the Left Bank and felt the
burning ache in her back as she
had so often felt it during those
early days. She remembered her
hrst Christmas Eve in Paris. The
triumphant day when Anetlza, the
shop with q window" was opened
by two apprehensive girls; the
unforgetable day when she saw
her own name in that window;
the day when the bankers COM
mittee came to offer capital, came
to spread the world at her feet.
Her later memories seemed less
real; the villa at Nice, London,
Cairo. Alec Garland had receded
completely.
And over all these memories,
the stout cord that ran through
all her days and all her nights
binding her to New York, bring
ing back the undimmed glory Of
the one spring in her heart.
She was Mary Barrett then.
But only until the boat locked
and the reporters swarmed into
her cabin. Then she became the
local girl who made good. She
was the great designer. She posed
on deck. smiled shyly for the
cameramen, answered questions
and made no startling news.
Driving up Fifth avenue to the
whitestone mansion of the Suther-
lands, her eyes drank in the dear,
familiar sights, searched the faces
on the avenue, seeking

sought but one face.
Mari found that in New York,
as in every other place that she
had visited, she had no time to do
the things she wanted; everything,
was arranged for her. There were
luncheons, cocktail parties. din
ners. theaters, night clubs. Her,
host and hostess wanted her to
see New York at its gayest.
So whenever she came into a
room, to a hotel lobby, to a party
or. a theater, her eyes sought

He looked into his glass, saw that
it was empty and showed it across
the bar again. He was half
through it when a jovial hand
came down hard on his shoulder.
"Hiya, old mani"
Tony's vision was a trife
blurred. He saw that it was
Willis-he couldn't remember the
mans last name. He murmured
something and scowled at his
glass, trying to remember what
had made him feel suddenly light.
Tony was not accustomed to
drinking; the alcohol affected him
quickly.

Tony looked hard at him, tried
to remember what he was going
to do that night; thought suddenly
that whatever it was, it was some
thing he had no right to do, and
said he'd go.
At precisely quarter to the hour
Of midnight, the last brass gongs
sounded blatantly from one end
Of the great liner to the other.
Cabin doors opened to emit blue

in all directions, repeated her

turn, believing in her heart that
it would be many years before she
came back to her native land.
But when the ship was moving
majestically down the bay, when
the corridors grew quiet and the
ship settled down quickly-as

dressing table. Unprotected now
by the mask Of gayety she had
worn the last week, it looked in
finitely tired, and her own empti-

years ahead, empty of everything
except success.
She had never felt old before.
Now, emptying the ash trays, pick

from the flowers, the cards, the

the door Of their adjoining cabins,
and followed her knock by her
presence. e
Good Lord! Mari, it's nearly

Mari put the smile back on her
face as though it were as easily

NEW PARTICLES
STRIKE EARTH

CoSmic rays Of stupendous
power are bringing new kinds of
particles to the earth, it was re-
vealed here at yesterdays meeting
of the American Physical Society.
Also, the apparent enlargement
of the universe was explained in
a new manner.
Mystifying observations on cos.
mic rays, made and reported by
Drs. j. C. Street and E. C. Steven
son, Harvard scientists, concerned
radiations Of terrific power. These
rays possess energies Of more than
a billion electron-volts, they said.
In plain words, the rays are
made mostly of some extremely
small particles that are electrified.
Yet, they are not electronS, nor
protons, the well-known building
bricks of all atoms.
The Harvard physicists did not
offer any explanation as to the
nature of the puzzling particles.
A new presentation of the I'm
solved puzzle of the apparently
expanding universe was given by
Prof. Arthur Haas, of Notre
Dame University, formerly of the
University of Vienna.
DR.. Haas demonstrated that
NeWton's law breaks down when
applied to what seems to be
rapid enlargement of the whole
universe. BY such increase in
the size of the universe is meant
that the millions of star clusters
in space are running away from
one another at terrific speed.
This expansion of the universe
is inferred from the fact that the
light from the nebulae grows
redder, as their distance from us
increases. Such reddening of
light rays-"the red Shift"-im-
plies loss Of energy.
DR.. Haas calculated that in or
der to account for the energy
needed to expand the universe,
one might assume its supply to
come from the transmutation of
matter itself into pure radiant
energy.
However, he said, since the uni.
verse has been in it's present state
for at least LOO to 1000 million
years, with the apparent expan.
sion continuing all that time,
transmutation of matter may not
be the explanation. Not enough
power is generated by transmuta-
ton to send tho nebulae scattering
in all directions, defying Newton's
gravitational laws, he suggested.
