The "jnother of Theresa, all her life, had fceen as high-handed as Khe was soft- , > "Kieartedas domineering as Aft was /'v?&erciful, • Her husband, whom she fretted, \.y.pvcn as she was. later to fret her daughter, declared all of his married ^/\1Bfe with her that she enervated him With her excess of vitality, robbed Hffl of ambition by virtue of the super- "abundance of hers, wore him down, tired him out# exhausted him. And yet, with these legitimate grievances, he adored her, as those who knew the 'another of Theresa could testify--plotted in her dominance, complained bitterly of her all his life, and died In her •tins, blessing her. With Theresa, her only child, every flpe predicted total eclipse. There was withstanding the overshadowing figure of her mother. The girl could not be expected to develop a personality of her own while her mother " ale for her, slept for her, thought for . • tow, and. reached decisions for her. And all that was true enough until Theresa reached the age of twenty, Ven suddenly there developed in the rl, who lived beneath the shadow of her parent like a chick under the wing of the hen, a slow, a cumulative, a Rebellious kind of anger that gathered Within her like a storm, but unlike a storm did not burst but rolled up, father, into a great, portentous gloom. \ Strange, but for some time the •Bother of Theresa, too absorbed in her career of living for her daughter, did BOt realize the change. And therein lay danger for the mother of Theresa, because slowly, oh so slowly and imperceptibly, the girl was bucking her will against the alleged iron one of her parent, and It was to transpire In the end that the mother of Theresa had no iron will at all, but an extremely malleable one, only awaiting the individual with the , purpose to overthrow It. ^ And so it was that gradually, bat ^ With an relent less consistency, slowly, surely, the daughter gained the upper hand in the relationship of parent and Offspring, and within a twelve-month after she was twenty the transposition of their positions was complete. Almost imperceptibly phbed of her domination Hy a daujrhtfer who would no longer tolerate dictation, you could see the mother whiten, weaken, age, as she loosed her hold and gave way to what time had shown to be the stronger personality of the two. Not that there was an open Issue. Oifltwardly, the situation was practically the same. That Is, in.the beginning at least, the old respect and ebedienee to the dictates of the parent were there. But somehow, within" herself, and to h^r own secret loathing, the girl had turned against her parent. The older woman "got on her nerves," as the saying goes. She was capable of being short with her, curt in her replies, even rude. And under this treatment, the mother of Theresa, so astonishingly vulnerable to domination once you pierced her armor, became a timid, haunted creature, a little afraid of her child. treat you so!" \ Not but what the younger woman fought off this power of hers when she beheld it descending into her hands. She wanted to be gentle with her mother and patient and all the things that as a faithful doting parent she knew' were deserved, but the terrible Impatience and rancor were stronger than her will. "Have you noticed how badly Theresa's daughter is treating her these days'? What has come over the girl! Why. she is positively rude and horrid to her. And what a change in Thersaa. She stands for It." „ True, all true, but not quite so simple as it seemed on the surface. Underneath her sense of triumph over the old domineering ways of her mother, the girl was waging a bitter struggle to throw off this tendency 'to feel annoyed at her mother's slightest m mark; to resent her interest In her affairs; to leave her many questions unanswered and to give her the curt, uncourteous reply Instead of the considerate one she would grant a mere stranger. It came to be almost a madness with her. It was practically impossible for the daughter of Theresa to be civil to her mother, although she would awaken from a troubled sleep resolved to atone in a thousand ways for yesterday's rudeness; and then Just let her so much as make a simple statement or evidence a natural Interest In her daughter's affairs, and there she was, ready with the stinging retort or display of ugly manner. "If only Mother wouldn't be meek about It alt," she prtfyed to herself. And yet, somehow, the daughter of this mother could and did until, in their circle of friends, it was not unusual to hear an exasperated parent exclaim -to a child. "Don't be rude about it. You'll soon have the reputation of treating me as the mother of Thesesa is treated by her daughter." Inevitably, It got about, this tyranny of daughter over parent, and the situation became pretty well unbearable all the way around. Except, strangely, fhe mother of Theresa, even while her daughter wilted and agonised over what was happening, seemed fascinated by the change. There was something actually saddistlc about the way she bared herself for the blows of her child, asking Questions that she must have known would bring wrath Upon her head. "Daughter, why do you wear your skirts so short, They're ugly.". "For the reason that it pleases me to, and if you dpa't like them, dont look." , . ; :: "Daughter, where are you going?** "When I want to announce every move I make, I'll post a bulletin.*' "Daughter, you look a little pale tonight. Are you tired?" "Mother, if you ast-«e that again, Til go mad." It was shocking, It was terrible, it was embarrassing even to have to hear, and it seemed to the daughter that sometimes she actually went abojut that home with little needles and pins of irritation popping out all over her. Every move of her mother's seemed a source of Irritation. To hear her crack nuts; see her spill a bit of coffee over Into her saucer; have to listen to the rasp in her voice when she telephoned, were such anathema to her that she would rush upstairs into her rom, slamming the door, locking It, crying there. At sixty-two, after years of this domination which had reduced her to some one little And gray, the mother of Theresa died, quietly, one night in her sleep, and It was to linger with her daughter forever after that her last words to her had been: "For gooftness sakes, Mother, if you don't stop cracking those nuts. Ill go mad. Haven't $ou any regard for the nerves of others?" That memory In Itself seemed to the girl sufficient punishment; the recollection of those words dancing in fire before her as the still form. In its small-sized bier, was borne tilted from the Tiouse. But her actual scourging lay In the years to come. Why had she treated her so? The dead, cowed footsteps of her parent seemed everywhere about the house. Her voice, almost with a dodging note In it, as if fearful of rebuke, lingered on the stillness of the halls and rpoms. Here was a girl who. after her mother's death, had everything to reproach herself- for. * She had heard people say of others after a death* "Well, she has, nothing to reproach herself for." The daughter of this dead woman had! And down through the years she went reproaching. Down through the years she went unforgettlng and yearning, with that most terrible of all futilities, for the opportunity to live, her life with her mother over again. Yes, she had mu<9»to reproach herself for./. . .....1 .4 ' When she was thirty, a bachelor from a neighboring town, In love with a certain wistful quality he saw In' her, came wooing her for marriage. It is doubtful if his offer, any more than his personality, would have meant anything, except that in his' plea for his case, he mentioned apologetically thp need for his aged mother to live with him after marriage. "She's old, gets on my nerves a good bit. but there's nothing else to do but have her with us, dear, the few years she has left." ' - There was her chance, and she grasped it, to baby and indulge and protect, from the possible curtness of her son, a mother-in-law. In the name of a mother who, alas., had not been babied and indulged and protected frbm the curtness of a daughter, she married the son in order to gain a mother-in-law. And her husband marvels at the happiness that her patient sweetness Is giving to an old mother's sunset da vg. ROCKETS TO CARRY MAIL NEAR SUCCESS GOLD COMES TRUE Motive Power Is Now Only Problem Unsolved. Berlin.--The problem of developing mall rockets which will shoot a bag of mail from Berlin to New York Is slowly beihg solved. The only question remaining to be solved Is whether the rockets are to be driven by liquid gases or- by gun powder. The development of the rocket Is being pursued throughout Oermany. Hardly a week passes that new experiments are not reported fr^tfaiiome corner of the relch. Differ on Power. ^ The chief Exponents of tWe rocket are Rudolph Nebel and Helnrich Tiling, both engineers. Nebel maintains that the problem of shooting mail from Berlin to New York can b^ solved only by rockets driven by liquid gasses. At his rocket flying field, Nebel has sent gas driven rockets several thousand, feet upwards. Nebel's unique rocket motor consists of a tiny metal chamber in which liquified hydrogen arid other gfiSes are mixed am] ignited by an electric spark. Control over the rockets' speed is made' possible by valves and automatic control, appliances attached to feed pipes. Tiling Is an advocate of the powerrocket. which he claims Is more reliable. Only recently he shot rockets equipped with parachutes high into the skies. After reaching the flight apex, the parachutes opened automatically and the rockets descended slowly to the ground. Tiling built a rocket to resemble a passenger carrying rocket. He even placed miniature passengers in It and then sent It np several thousand feet. Great Speed Seen. . Now he has announced a still farther development of his theory. After successfully shooting one of his power rocket^ 10,000 feet high, he has now constructed a giant malT-carrying projectile which he intends to hurl from a spot on the German North sea coast near Hamburg to the island of Wangeroog, a distance of nearly five miles. The rocket Is about four ft-et long and carries a powder load of thirteen pounds which Is calculated to burn up In one and a half minutes. In which time the rocket is to travel the live miles of ocean. Lake in Massachusetts Has Name of 46 Letters Webster, Mass.---Lake OargoggagoggmanchauggaggoggchaubuiiMgungamaugg traces Its remarkable name back to the days when Indians peopled Its shores. The name of 46 letters, Including 16 g's and 9 a's, developed from the facts that the Redskins liked to fish, and the lake had three divisions--upper. middle,, and lower. The fishing was best in the middle lake, and two Indian tribes, living at opposite ends, used to dispute over which had the right to fish there. Finally they got together and drew up a treaty providing that those living at the upper end could fish in the upper lake, those living at the lower end. could fish in the lower lake, hot neither could fish in the middle lake-- a decision fortunate for the fish. So they named the lake after the terms of that treaty: Chargoggagogg, "You fish on your side." •. /V • Manchauggaggogf, *1 fishao my side." ,v-.

Cm# of Most Dramatic Stories of Lost Riches. Mexico City.--Twenty years ago, a German dreamed of a hoard of hidden gold. Now he has found a tunnel which he believes will lead him to the treasure of a long-dead king. The scene of this 4s In the hlnter land of Mexico, and the story Is one of the most dramatic In the annals of lost riches. Twenty years ago Ernesto Loeck was a r|sing business man In the German town of Dusseldorf.

They marched in single file, afad on the shoulders of. each was borne a roughly made hitfe sack-- a sack containing gold/ The carriers seemed to disappear Into the heart of the mountain, and watching them was a tall man of noble aspect. Just as the dream faded there seemed to appear written on his brow in letters of fire the word Calsontzln. The dream was so vivid arid made so great an Impression on Loeck that he began to wonder whether history had any record of a man named Caleontzin. A long search revealed that It had. There was a Tarascan king of that name who was ruling in a part of Mexico some 400 years ago, and who had vanished with gold worth $30,000,000. , Now, after 20 years of search, Loeck has found on the summit of La Bates de Oro a narrow underground passage.
