No, sir, I can't let j-ou do a crazy ihinK like that, Mary â€" " "Then," Mary said quietly, "under ttie terms of your wife's will, I will :hoose the necklace.

I'm in danger now, and I always will be, while he's at large. For my own lafety, the best thing I can do is bring him to justice as quickly as possible. As for seeking him out, I'll be far safer knowing his movements than I'll ever be with him at large. , . . you see that, don't you?" Jupiter scratched an ear. "That's nighty near the truth." he admitted. ACHES and Pains easily relieved Aspirin will rolieve your suffering: harmlessly and In a hurry Swallow • tablet in a little water. The pain is (one.

"It may take a little time," Mary (•ontinut'<l, "but it can be done. Don't you mind me! I shan't be frightetied. I wasn't frightened before when I saw him in Shay's â€" I was thrilled as any school girl, and glad. I can't tell you how glad! I thought it wouldn't be long until â€" but he got away. We'll have to wait a while â€" flush him again, as Bowen calls it, but we'll get him. I don't want them just to send him to jail â€" I want them to hang him! I do!" Iler own vehemence surprised her, but she knew it was true â€" that these unbecoming, blood-thirsty senti- ments were truly hers. .She turned on him, demanding de- fiantly: "Does it sound awful? I mean it. I never knew I could hate anyone a.s much as I hate that man!" She walked about, her eyes stormy, her face flushed. But Jupiter was not looking at her. He was seeing visions of his own in the pattern of the rug, his hand clench- ing and unclenching on the crook of his cane. He held it at arms length, like a weapon, and banged the floor with it. "If he's the nmn," he said, "I'll see him hung if I have to put every cent I've got behind it." It'd like to tend to it myself. If you can toll him on boanl the 'Gypsy'^ â€" " "I can. 1 can trick him. I know I can!" Her throjit was tight with exultation, and resolution. The door behind them openo<l. Mary whirled about. Bruce Jupiter's voice spoke suavely in the tense quiet that followed her last words : "I'm sure you can. Miss Harkness. You do that sort of thing so well!" CHAPTER XXV. Old Mr. Jupiter .stared at his son, mixed emotions on his face. "Well," he snapped. "So you're back, eh? I thought you'd come to your senses. You can't live on love even in Paris, I understand." He chuckled harshly. There was a hint of eagerness in his voice which he I tried to hide. I Mary shook her huad involuntarily j â€" it was so much a moment for tact, and Jupiter was ctnploying so little i of it. I But Bruce paid no attention to his father. Tossing the black, wide-brim- mod, "parson's hut" he alTectod on a talile, he sat down on the arm of a chair, and pulled out a cigaret: â€" star- ing rudely at Mary meanwhile. Mary marveled at the change in him. The dreamy brown eyes that had reste<l so warmly upon the throaty-voiced siren lu.si night were black with anger. The luxuriant dark hair was more awry than before; it .â- .tfH>d up in an indigr.ant ruff alx>ve the high, bronzed forehead as if five agitated fingers had l>een run through it. The lean, sensitive fingers that toyed with the cigaret tremidcd visib- ly. But Bruce's voice was remarkably controlled â€" soft, smooth and poison- ou.sly sweet. "Oh, yes, I've come to my senses," i he murmured, his gaze still iioring \nU) the girl's. Mary flushed a, id re- treated involuntarily before his bra- zen stare. "It is ju.st as you said, father. I have stayed away too long, things have taken a surprising turn during my absence. Such a turn as a .sensible man might have foreseen. But I am not a sensible man. I am an artist." Ho paused and blow a cloud of smoke almo.st in the girl's face. "I am very naive, am I not?" he a.sked purriiigly.

He roee and made Mary a deep, sweeping bow. Utterly mystified, Mary turned to Mr. Jupiter, who was looking at his son as if he \/ere a madman. The hopeful, timidly welcoming light had died out of his eyes. Hi.i jaw sudden- ly tcii.-ied. "Will you say what you mean?" he shotiled angrily. Bruiv (lid not raise his voice nor re- move liis eyes from the girl's now terrififd ones. "YiHi don't understand, my dear father? (Jf course not.

A beautiful arti.'»t, a charming i-.itist, but nevertheless an adept ill the gentle art of gold-dig- ging!" Old .Mr. Jupiter fell back in his chair, oixii-mouthed. "Well, of all the damn fools," he gasped wc/.kly. When Bruce would have spoken, he shouted, "Shut up! Get out!" "Nonsi ri.so, my dear father," Bruce returned calmly. "I have come home to stay." Jupiter made a threatening move- ment, Mary found her tongiie. "This is .so silly," she prote.sted. "Silly, is it?" Bruce barked, turn- ing on her. "My mother's jewels? My father's fortune? I dare say you're an estimable young woman in some ways and a faithful employe to whom some remembrance was fitting. But aren't you a little hoggish? Share and share alike would have been sporting, at least! But I come home and am met wUh the boot. Why? Titian curls about an angelic fac3 have done the damage, I fear. Well, I am not without some charm myself, if I wi.sh to apply it to the sordid task of opening purse-strings in my favor. I have not been a good son, perhaps, but at least I am a Jupiter. There's my challenge. Miss Harkness â€" do you take it up?" Mai7 laughed outright. "You're quite mad," she said. "The Alps must have done it â€" the altitude. Now I'll make you a challenge. Suppose you get a little better acquainted with both youi- father and me before you do anything ridiculous." Bruce had expected anything but amusement. "Is my decision to remain in my own home ridiculous?" he demanded. "It can be, if you're going to stalk about like Edwin Booth," she chided gently. Then she turned to the inar- ticulate old man, "Why don't you in- vite him on the 'Gypsy'? A little clo-scr view of things might change his ideas and save any more of this kind of thing." To Bruce she added, "Your father's had quite enough trouble. Even you must see that." "Quito," Bruce returned, "and I ac- cept. Be sure you will find me at your elbow wh-.'rever you turn, Miss Hark- ness. You are an object of great in- terest to me and I may as well con- fess that from now on I do not intend to let you out of my sight." Maiy smiled. "The 'Gypsy' is small," she answered, and turned to leave the room. Mr. Jupiter had been simmering; now he spluttered into speech. "Mary, come b.ick here!" ho shouted. "Don't you gt't ahead of yourself young man! lieavc this room until you're asked into it! Mary an<l I have .some busi- ness to tend to. If you go along on the 'Gypsy' you'll button up your lip, or I'll put you ashore, remember that! I ain't too old to paddle you yet, if I have to, to take the tuck out of you!" Bruce regarded the tip of his cig- aret int-mtly. "Business?" be asked, with an insinuating rising inflection. "Bu.siness," the old man snapped. .\nd unveile*! what to Mary was an une.\pccto*l vein of sarcasm. "Busi- ness that wouldn't interest you! Mary thinks she's drawn a bead on the man that murdered your mama. You've got no lime for such foolishnefss. You might niL-s your exhibit. You better get aldi.g about your paint-s.li pping." Bruce flushcii darkl.v, then paled. That shaft had hit home. Mary was glad to see that he could be hurt on that score; there must be hoi)e for him. For the first time she softened toward him slightly. "I'mâ€" scarcely an expert," Bruce said, "but perhaps I can be of use." He wnlkon to the door and turned. "My old room, father?" Jupiter nodded, scowling. Mary felt sud<lf'ily weak as they were Ijft alone. "I'm sorry to have been the cau.sc of--of~" -he fumbled to express her humilialii.n, but the old man waved away her apolog,y. "It'll be all right, he'll come around," he told her.

Poetic intuition penetrated the psychology of inferior creaturp.^ long before science ever dreamt of doing it. Poets and writers have told u.^ things about animals which our rea.-:on re- fused to believa and the moncpoly of which humanity claimed for itself. It is with animals as with men: the r .oral state is mostly dependent upon physical condition. A sick ani- mal is always sad and shows it in an unmistakable manner. Btit an animal can be sad without physical suffering, and in such ca.ses we are forced to admit a psychologic cause or the func- tioning of intelligence. Most of Us have had occasion to observe symp- toms of sadness and boredom in ani- mals without any apparent reason. A dot,- full of life and mirth suddenly begins to howl plaintively and to launch appeals of distress to some in- visible power, which must be haunt- ing its memory. Protracted sadness in an animal may lead to physical' suffering, even to death, which is then not a cause but a consequence of a moral condition. Cats and dogs have been known to die of starvation after the loss of their master, and there is the story of the elephant who broke his skull again.-;t the wall of his stable becau.=e his driver had left him. The fact may or may not be true, but at any rate it is safe to assume that the animal killed itself not because it wished to i'' so, but becauM- excitement, pain or anger led it to make a series of dis- orderly movements which ultimately resulted in death. An animal may, however, be con- sumed by an all-powerful desire or feeling, stronger even than the most imperious of all sensations: that of hunger. Dogs are known to die on the grave of beloved masters. Pos- sibly this is due to the fact that the animal is too shy or too fierce to ac- cept food and care from anybody else. Domestication and captivity, on the other hand, greatly reduce the intelli- gence of an animal and its ability t-j care for itself, so that the loss of the person who provided food and shelter sometimes automatically leads to death. Herein we may find an ex- planation of what frequently happens on battlefields, where horses die by the side of their riders' bodies. Not being used to finding food for itself, the horse instinctively returns where it hopes to find it. Huii,^er, fatigue and ' exhaustion account for it much more | than despair or loyalty. Of course, the crisis in the life of an animal may have deeper causes which arc very difficult to detect. Ix)neliness is one of the outstanding motives of animal despair. In cap- tivity the last survivor of the gang '• ually dies broken-hearted. Quite remarkable is the case of the black cat which was the inseparable com- panion of the famous racing-horse Godolphin. When the horse died, the cat would not move from its body. Chased away, it disappeared and was found dead a few days later in a near-by barn. This is the more mys- terious, since the cat is an independ- ent and not very sociable animal, which does not resent loneliness as much as other animtls. All animals are more or ies.v merry and gay and something similar to laughter may be observed in certain superior vertebrates. Dogs and horses purse their lips to show pleasure. This may be a nervous reflex and purely automatic, but it is proved be- yond doubt that many animals have an outspoken sense of humor. Ele- phants take revenge upon an enemy by playing him a nasty trick and manifesting their amusement and satisfaction at his embarrassment. Monkeys excel in such tricks ard they are quite capable of discerning whe- ther people laugh at their fcxi>ense or for other reasons. They like to play | tricks upon each other, but in most ca.ses the less intelligent specimens of the tribe are the victims. Dogs are known to be possessed of i a strong sense of humor, and so are certain birds, especially parrots. The! latter laugh like humans when a situa- '. tion seems funny to them. Even wild ' animals are not deprived of this feel- 1 ♦ng. What but a sen.se of humor I causes the glutton obstinately and ; systematically to devastate the cabins o ' the trappers, although it derives no personal advantage from it? Pride is certainly not a physical sensation, yet it is felt by animals in a manner comparable to human. Hendricks on the wire, will vou, Mary?" He was off on his plans for the cruise. The man-hunt they were about ; to embark on supersede<l everything else in his mind, for which Mary was grateful. For the first time she be- ' gan really to hope that the busines-i might be brought to a successful end, and soon. | leaving Jupiter crackling orders over the telephone, she went thought- fully out and up to her room. It was useless to try to reach Dirkâ€" she did not want to be curious about his whereabouts. She would write him at the house and wait for his answer, hard as the waiting would be. If she didn't h^ar on Monday she could call Kim, for she couldn't go away without seeing him. (To be continued.) ORANGE PEKOE Bl^HD Snlin TEA 'Tresh from the Gardens' Most domestic animals are most sen- sitive to ornaments. A horse adorned with bells and plumes walks different- ly from an unadorned one. In Spain the muleteers used to punish their animals by taking off their gaudy harness and making them ;»arch at the tail of the team. The vanity of the "rww rich" is not only a human shortcoming: it may be found in the shephci-d dog proudly enthroned on the seat of his 40 h.p., or in the pekinge.se stretched out on the silken and embroidered cushions of his lux- urious basket. A chimpanzee belong- ing to a movie company behaved like a real stiir and as so proud that he would have nothing to do with othe.- apes. All large apes derive personal satisfaction from ornaments, provided these are not imposed upon them by man. Domestication, by bringing the ani- mal elisor to man, at the same time draws it farlher away from its own species and even makes it hostile to the latter. The wolf or jackal has no fiercer enemy than its own descend- ant, the dog. The capture and train- ing of wild elephants would be utterly impossible without the conscious and intelligent assistance of tame ele- phant.-, kept expressly for this pur- pose. Animals are capable of handling and manipulating tools and instru- ments. Dogs, cats, horses, d<-nkeys, open doors, pull cords and lift lids. No gadget, be it ever so complicated, is safe in the long run against a cat'.s claws or an elephai t's trunk, and there is no screw which is proof against the manipulation of a mon- key. Even more interesting is the atti- tude of wild beasts toward traps or similar devices. They quickly detect the trick that shuts the trap. Fo.\es and wolves study the mechanism of traps meticulously and they well know hew to cut the fatal cord. Wolves have been observed to pull the lines left overnight by fishermen in holes made through the ice, until the fish emerged on the frozen surface. The wolves then returned and devoured the catch, carefully avoiding the hooks. Here the instinct of self-preserva- tion plays the primary part but many other cases are known where the in- tervention of intelligence cannot be denied. Animals know how to nurse them- selves through sickness. Woundc(i elephants dose their wounds with tampons of grass to stop bleeding. Monkeys are most skillful in all such things and they behave like real sur- geons or skillful osteopaths. They krow how to extract splinters and even had to pasG a drain through a festering wound, which leads us to be- lieve that they assist each other in similar operations. In his very interesting study on the habits of anthropoid apes, Koehler narrates his own experience with a monkey surgeon. He had a splinter ir. a finger and, at the risk of infec- tion, decided to show it to his pet chimpanzee. The animal took one look at it and immediately went to work. By pressing the sore spot with its nailsâ€" a rather painful but never- thek-s.s very clever manipulation â€" it .S4)ueczed the splinter out oi tti») woiinc and extiv.ctcd it. .\ftc:r having ex aniined the soi-e spot closely ."Mul Miadt sure that nothin;, was U-l"- ik let tilt land gi) and withdrew, i bviiiusly highly satisfied with its ov , perform- ai.ce.
