But the call she waited for did not come, She was first to greet the letter car- rier on each of his frequent rounds. But there was 1.0 mail for her, "Why," she asked herself tine and again, "why doesn't he anewer?"' She pondered on the variability of her moods. Yesterday Barry Colvin had been to see her and what he told her had lifted her magically out of the depression into which she had lately settled, And 'oday. . .. To come to work 80 cheerful, so expectant, and to hear --nothing. It was more than she could bear. ; Mr. Hilton stopped once in the midst of dictation and looked at her very sharply. : "You're tired, Miss Lowell," he said gently. "I wish you would take a couple of days off. Do you good." Mary's mother, who since the break- ing off with Sam Church wore pe petually a grieved expression, met her at the door with sharp complaints about being late and "dinner will never be ready if you don't hurry." In fact, Mary's mother found it very easy to find fault these days. There had been many attempts on her part 10 persuade Mary to reconsider her decision about Church, but they were | futile, "Oh, dear," Mrs Lowell sighed as she moved heavily about the kitchen, getting in the way while Mary did all the work, "T get so discouraged, 1 could lie right down and sleep for two days, I'm so tired." jg -- Mary made no answer; she was too busy cooking. "I'm not at all well" Mrs, Lowell continued. "The doctor told me waat I needed was a complete rest and a change." = (Whieh was not at all what the doe- tor had told her, What he had said was that she wanted a rest. and a change. He hadn'c said she needed it.) Mrs, Lowell sighed deeply. "But I suppuse I'll never get it. 1 suppose I'll end my days in drudgery." Her drudgery consisted. largely in watch- ing Mary do all the important house- work, Occasionally Mrs, Lowell knit- ted and dusted a few pictures, and prepared a salad. "Please, mother," Mary begged. "] simply never imagined anyone could be =o foolish," Mrs, Lowell went | on And Maury, her mind too troubled to pay much attention, went on with the preparation of dinmer. . .. She hardly touched her food, how- ever, and when +he dishes were wash- ed and put away she gave the excuse of a headache to retire to her room. As she sat on her bed, in utter de- jection, she wondered if the cutting remarks she had made to Jimmy when last they met had opened a breach that was irreparable. "But 1 wrote him," she said, "I told him everything, 1 did all I could. Why didn't he answer?" She was hurt, deeply hurt. "He simply doesn't care any more," she told herself. She sat before her mirror and watched her reflected face. "Oh, Jim," she cried, "if you only knew how much I loved you. You're--you"re breaking my heart." Her face dropped slowly down on to her arm. She sat that way a long time, just how long she did not know, but her mother's complaining voice, rising on a note of querulousness, broke into her thoughts. "Mary, if you have such a headache, why don't you go to bed? Your light is keeping me from going to sleep." Without answering, Mary roused herself and put out the light. She un- dressed in the dark and then got into bed. But she lay there sleepless, dampen- ing her pillow with tears. . . . Hours passed, but they failed to bring her sleep. . . . How was she to know that he let- ter she had written to Jimmy Rand was at that moment lining the pocket of Paul, the admirable office boy? * * » » At that moment Jimmy Rand was dashing madly up the hall steps lead- ing to Olga Maynard's apartment. The door was standing half open; the rooms within were in silent dark- ness. He fumbled, then switched on a light, and the telephone met his eyes, The receiver was still off the hook. "What's happened to her?" e gasped. "Where is she?" He tramped through the small apartment--just two rooms and a kitchenet--turning on lights and ex- ploring every corner, every closet.

A tramp of feet coming up the stairs, And then a squad of uniform-| ed men, led by Lieutenant 0'Day, | came into the room. "'She's gone, Lieutenant." Jimmy waved his hand around. ""She's gone." He groped for words and found none, and saak despairingly into a chair, O'Day's voice was professionally crisp. "They didn't kill her, then. | Any sign of a struggle? And evidence, that they hurt her?" | ENothingd i "Well, I'll take a look around. Tell me what you know first. What hap- | pened?" | Jimmy, in a high state of excite- ment, told him. "She phoned me. She | said, 'I've found Jensen. He's in the! house across the street' Then she! said, 'Oh'--as if someone had grab-! bed her or something. A sort of gasp- ing ery." "And that was all?" "That was all. I called you up rizht afterward." O'Day turned to the men who had come with him. You men go outside. Run across the street to the house op- posite this and see what you can find out. You know Jensen's description. See if he has been rooming there. "Wait a minute. If you don't get anything there, go next .door--go to every house in the bloc, Wake 'em all up. If Jensen went ifito any house on this street we're going to find ont about it. "That's all." He turned to Jimmy. "Now I'm going to look around my- self." He went first to the telephone, pick- ed it up, then set it back again on the table and stepped back and studied it. "Tell me," he said to Jimmy, "how you found this. place when you came in. Where was the phone--right where I picked it up?" "Yes. The. receiver hook, I put it back." "Any lights on?" "No, all the lights were out." "This rug here that's mussed up and wrinkled. Was it like that when you came in?" . Jimmy hadn't noticed the rug. "I don't know, Lieutenant. I suppose so. 1 didn't touch it." O'Day quietly stroked his chin, stood with his feet planted wide apart and studied a while in silence. "What do you think happened, Lieu- tenant?" Jimmy had risen from his chair and stood facing O'Day. "Don't bother me now, lad. Let me think." He smiled apologetically at his curtness. "I'm not one of these fancy Sherlock Holmes detectives," he explained. "I'm a little slow at get- ting my mind to work. I have to have time. I want to see this thing first, just as you saw it when you came in." He walked to the door and stood on the threshold, his eyes wandering around the room and then through the hallway. "This door was open?' he asked. "Yes. I came right in." "And all the lights were out, you say?" Jimmy nodded. "Uh-huh." O'Day turned abruptly away and walked into the next room, exploring. He shook his head slowly. "I wonder," he said doubtfully, "I wonder if--" and then he broke off and resumed his search. Quite abruptly ke came to a pause in front of the mantel above the gas grate. His hand reached up and pick- ed up a picture that was lying face down on the shelf. He frowned as he looked at it. He glanced around at Jimmy, who, quite oblivious of O'Day's movements, was standing before a window, his hands clasped behind his back, looking out into the street. O'Day turned back to the picture. A comprehending light came into his eyes, "Mother of heaven!" he breathed. Then he unfastened some buttons on his coat and stuck the picture into his breast pocket. * * off che was * - (To be continued.) Bright Children Merely > Glibe Says Teacher New York.--"Bright" children just seem that way, according to Dr. Jos. Miller, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Dr. Miller, director of guidance in the Wilkes-Barre schools, has studied 1600 children from the first to the fifth grade under the auspices of Col- umbia University. 'What seems to be "brightness" in a child, he said, is more likely to be merely glibness. The children who talk well are too frequently recog- nized as "bright," whereas the "dull" children are equally smart. Dr, Miller found that 25 per cent. of the children graded as "bright" had only normal intelligence or less. About 35 per cent. of the "dull" children had the same intelligence, but spoke halt- ingly and were apt «to become con- fused. He concluded that in the early years it is an injustice to label a child either "bright" or "dull," . PATIENCE There is no such thing as preach- ing patience into people, unless the sermon is so log that they have to practise it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurly-burly world, and taking life just as it blows. Pati ece is but lying to, and riding out the gale=H. W.

Adolf Schmidt and his pet shepherd dog, Nora, were taking a typically German walk, leisurely and systemati- cally, along the shores of the Tel- tow Canal, and the master was teach- ing Nora to retrieve, when suddenly a pigeon, wearing a red ring on its foot, fluttered down at the 10se of the dog. Schmidt, thinking the bird was in- jured, ran . nearer and beheld a strange sight. Nora, instead of snapping at the pigeon, carefully lay down, rolled herself into a ball around the pigeon so that only fits head was visible, and proceeded to lick and nuzzle the bird most reas- suringly. Then Schmit saw the cause of the strange antics of the animals. A dark shadow f{litted over the group, and a pigeon hawk circled low and lower.

Inside of a week we were on board a steamer bound for Shanghai, and our good plane safely crated. Talk about your rough weather. They screwed down the hatches and shut all the portholes, while great black seas crashed over the ship, driven before the blast of a screaming east wind. Landing in Shanghai, we began to assemble our plane. Just as the job was finished, reports came .in that fighting had broken out between two than a hundred miles away. I asked Scottie if he would be interested in going to the front, and he wagged his tail and danced about. We must confess that Seottie didn't like the Chinese very well at first, Once he had been captured by Chin- 'ese bandits, and since them had car ed a grudge against the entire race. pair of shoes and Heymixed with them just as a lighted match mixes with a keg of gunpowder, Knowing the grouch Scottie carried I shouldn't have taken him with me when I went to see General Lu'to ask for a pass to the front. General Lu was located in a palace in a small walled city. Walking into the room he greeted us with dignity, shaking hands with himself in the Chinese fashion. General Lu was an immense man--very tall. and stout, and gorgeously dressed in silks. 'He was extremely impressive to me-- but he didn't impress Scottie a bit. - Imagine my dismay, when tight in the midst of the bow, Scottie growled, and, earing the leash from my hand, made a jump at him.

Add Something New While it is well to stick to varieties which one Las found to do well in pre- vious eas for the bulk of the flower and vegetable planting, for the sake of interes: and experience something new should be added each season. In this conne tion that section of the seed catalogue devoted to specialties will be found valuable. In this part are listc ' new varieties that have merit and special strains of well known varieties that have been proved. There will also be some novel- ties. A .ew packets chosen from this section of the catalogue are advisable. Seedsme are giving more and more attention to securing varieties of the best quality and to improving them. Descriptions of these specialties are usually very complete and furnish the necessary information on which to base selection. Spinach Spinach is now a standard vege- table in practically every garden and despite tl , tendency of some restaur- ant coo) to serve it with sand is un- doubtedly growing popular. It is one of the first sown vegetables and also among the first to be harvested. It can go 1 at intervals of a couple of weeks from the time the soil is fit to work until June and will furnish de- lightful + healthful greens for the table until midsummer, This vege- table is at its best in a warm, rich, open soil. It should be heavily man- ured anc like all other vegetables, es- pecially thuse of the green variety, it must be pushed quickly along with fer- tilizers' high in nitrogen. Spinach should be sown in rows at least twelve inches apart and after the plants are up well thin in the rows to eight inches apart. Bloomsdale or Savoy leaved is one of the hardiest and ear- liest variety. This, like the Victoria, is wrinkled like a Savoy 'cabbage. For late use King of Denmark is one of the most valuable of the recent introduc- tions, Just Vegetables Vegetables divide themselves into three main classes, First there is the early sort, usually grown for the leaves, such as Lettuce, Spinach, Cress and Mustard, which can be started just as soon as the ground can be worked up. With these also go in the Radish, The second batch, which in- cludes Oninng, Carrots, Beets and ear- ly Turnips, go in almost at the same time, although they ar® not quite so hardy, and after these come the-Peas, which are liable to rot unless the weather is warm. The third main group runs from Cabbages and Cauli- flower, which go in first, Tomatoes cet out after all danger of frost is over, right through to Melons, Cucumbers and Celery, which are not planted un- til the weather is thoroughly warmed up and there is no danger of frost. Where th. season is short most of the last named: can be started in hot-beds or cold-frames and set outside later.
