"ops -s the gardens' Pir The pleasantest and shortest road "to the railway is by Porta Eburnea. 1 started one day from this gate with a friend, by a steep path which leaves "the 'road just outside the Porta, and om Mang the side of the hill below ho all. The bank, this fine morn. ; Was gay with butterflies and wild flowers, and wreathed with a luxuri- growth of gild gourd, full of pale bssomis and small furry fruit; all As 850 willl, it seemed impossible we only just left a busy city behind us, t. the turn of the path we came into a delightful lane, between bram- ble-covered banks; on one side was the dry bed of a little rill, and over- head branches of quaint trees met each other. From the Italian custom of constantly stripping the leaves to .. Brovide fodder, the foliage was scanty, wet we went down te steep path in 1 and checkered rhadow; lizards, darting across the way before us, He foamed as they passed in and out of * the flight. This practice of stripping leaves - from the trees as fodder gives a quaint appearance to many of them; in this Jane the gnarled and twisted branches Jooked grotesque. A man high up in :, oie of'the trees sang as gaily as a bird; while he-filled with 'eaves a sack fastened to one of the branches. Now and again the rich transparent 4 vpurple of the shadows was traversed by a bar of golden iight; this some- times came in irregular flecks from spaces between the twisted trunks and crossing branches. . "A woman coming up from the sta tion, with a heavy basket on her head, said, "Buon Gicrno," and smiled pleasantly as she passed; then a coun- 'tryman, a. fine, handsome fellow with glowing black eyes, wished us a good journey. ife was going at such a pace that he must have be:n hound for the station: usually the easy, leisureful movements of its peopl. seem to me one of the charms of Italy. so entirely in harmony with the burning, palpitat- ing blue of its skies ind the careless "'luxuriance of its vege'ation, Near the end of the descent is a washing place, and here a woman on ber kneer was hurd at work, scrub- bing and soaping linen: Looking back up the Jane we saw the grey town peeping ot us through the trees, --the tower of a house on the Piazza a pro- minent feature in the view. At the foot of the lane we crossed the dusty highroad, and again follow- ed the short way, here very steep and sugged. At the end we came out at a erosgroad where the Fontana Borg- hese, at one angle, made a striking feature; partly shadowed by tall cypresges, it glowed red in the sun- shine.

Sam Lee is raised as Lee Ying's son and sent to Eastern College as a Chinese student, He finds a social dar- rier because of ais supposed Chinese blood: A' college girl, Alice Fa pre; tends to think a good de secures a Si ER from a ith father to send her to Paris to pursue her art studies.

Sam's father procures a position in the offices of his white lawyers for Eileen Cassidy, who used to play. as a child, with Sam in the park, imes a blackmailer, schemes with Esther Stevens and her daughter Mona, to "get something" on Sam and thereby levy rich 'Chinese ther. lev: tribute on' Sam's CHAPTER XI. "You just wait and see. You don't have to buy anything, but please don't turn me down till you look. They're such nice things it's fun to show them, honest. I sold some to Misg Hart but --you have to tell fibs and everything to get to see people. I guess you'd fib if you had a sick mother." One thing sure, his visitor certainly did how Alice Hart 'or she spoke of her again, she ceferred to Sam's car and to the fact that Alice was in Paris by reason of his assistance. Sam selected the two best breakfast sets the girl had and offered to write a cheque for them. But she refused to take payment at the moment. She did not have the complete sets with her and how did he know that she wouldn't disappear with the money? She made it a prac- tice, so she declared, to accept settle- ment only upon delivery of the entire orders. Miss Stevens appeared willing to talk all the morning and Sam had a time getting rid of her. On the second evening thereafter his doorbell rang and to his annoyance he found that the forward little per- son was back again with his two breakfast sets. Presuming upon their acquaintance she had brought with her a costly evening wrap, which she insisted upon showing, He didn't have to buy it, of course, but she proposed to 1éave it with him overnight. When at last she had gone Sam directed Moy to replace the wrap In its box and to hand it back to the girl when she returned for it. But the package remained in his possession for several days. Then late one rainy afternoon Mona rang up. She-explained that she had been ill and expressed the hope that Sam liked the lace evening wrap because already she had kept it longer than she had promised to keep it; she was allowed to retain articles of real value only for a limited time. Sam told her that he could not buy the garment. There was a pause, then the girl asked him, feebly, to return it. She was too ill to venture out in such wea- ther or to argue the matter: she and her mother lived nearby, it would be a great accommodation-- He promised to bring it within the hour, He had no difficulty in finding the address, the Stevens women were liv- ing in a somewhat better house than ke had expected and when he rang their apartment bell Mona herself opened the door for him. address your order to Wilson Pattern Service, 73 West Adelaide St., Toronto. ------ New Liver Extract | Found For Anaemics Rochester, N.Y.--A new form of liver extract which relieves secondary anaemia in dogs has been developed at the University of Rochester School of Madicine, Secondary anaemia is a common human affliction. Its cause differs radicauy from that of pernicious anaemia, but it is usually aceom- panied by great physical weakness or mental lassitude. The Rochester discovery does much toward settling a dispute whether liver feeding is useful in this more common but less fatal form of anaemia, as it is in the pernicions variety, * The extract was developed by D. G. H. Waipple, dean of the Medical School: S. Robscheit-Robbins, and G. B. ion This latest liver extract is a light- colored powder. It is prepared as fol- lows: Fresh hog liver finely ground into water containing diluted sulphuric acid is heated to 80-85 degrees centi- grade and filtered. The filtrate is eva- porated to a thick syrup and precipi- tated with 70 per cent. alcohol. The portion insoluble in 70 per cent. calleds the secondary anaemia frac- tion, It weighs but three per cent. of the original whole liver yet contains 66 to 75 kz sent.iof the Fotency of the whole liver.

She sat! down beside him on the couch and i im- | | mediately plunged into an explanation | of her difficulty. She began by admitting that she had decei- ed him and her mother, too, about that wrap. She had not taken it on commission but she had bought it. She would have no difvculty in ceil-; ing it, as soon as she could get-out and around, but tomorrow the rent on the, apartment was due and there was no money in the house. If Sam would consent to hold the wrap as security and advance the amount of the rent --just for a few days--she'd be able to dispose of the wrap in mo time. Well, the rent was eighty dollars. Inwardly Sam smiled. He took eight ten-dollar bills from his wallet, folded them and laid them on a sewing bas- ket at his elbow, then moved to ge. To his surprise, Mona bowed her face in her hands and began to sob con- vulsively., He tried to quiet her. "Mona!" came a stern and disap- proving exclamation. Sam had not heard the door open but open it had and in it 'ood a woman. She looked to be anything except an invalid. "What are you crying about? And who is this--young man?" the mother deman { Sam rose, he felt his cheeks. tingle: he stood silently while Mona tried to 'make him known. "Oh, that's who you are!" Mra. Stevens eried.

Mrs. Stevens seized the handful of bills and brandished them: a look of loathing and of scorn dis- torted her featires. ".f you think money can square--" "Madame!" Sam interrupted, hls face slowly whitening with anger, "You're insulting." "Is that so? Well, I propose to have the truth before you get out of here. Mona's a gord girl--or she was until you met her." "Oh, mother!" The words came trom Mora in a quavering cry elo- quent with meaning: they were a confession and « plea that would have moved the hardest heart. "I didn't know! I--he--he wa so good and so kind to me. And he promised--"" A convulsive sob racked the speaker and interrupted the penitent recital of Sam's dastardly promises. Her .Jorrified parent smotherad a scream, her eyes rolled, she tottered, she clutched her throat,~her ample bosom heaved. Sam slipped an arm into the sleeve of his overcoat, whkereuron the mother faced him theatrically: "Oh, you wicked, wicked man! She's only an innocent child and she's all I've got. What are you going to do about it?" "I'm going to leave you to, your deep breathing," Sam told her. "But first I'm going to relieve you of "my eighty dollars." With a swift move- ment he seized the mother's wrist. Mrs. Stevens resisted, she struck at him but he tore the money out of her fingers. She raised her voice in a storm of abuse but Le cautioned her: "If yun make a disturbance, I'll call the police." "You rat!" Sam dropped the crimpied bills into the blue flames of the gas grate and they promptly ignited, then he wiped his fingers as if they had been soiled. She was still reviling him, still breathing vengeance, her injured daughter was still weeping torrents of tears when Sam passed out of the door and closed it behind him. CHAPTER XII. It was not easy for a stranger io gain access to Lee Ying without first making known the nawure of his busi- ness, bu: Everet Himes managed it. Having suceeeded, he took up in a roundabout fashion a matter which caused the old importer to listen at- tentively. For a while the latter made no comment but finally he inquired: "In what way does this concern you, Mr, Himes? 1 don't understand why I hear of this misfortune through your lips instead of through the mother's." "I'm jus. an old friend of the fam- ily and she confided in me--came to me for advice I'm an ordinary, common-sense business man and I said to her, 'Mr, Lee is a business man and a ne citizen. What's the sense of raving over. something that can't be helped and talking about lawyers until--' "Is it proposed to place this in the hands of an attorney?" Mr. Himes gestured gzpologetically. "The poor woman 'doesn't know what | to do. She's not responsible for what she uoes or says. And can you blame her? You know, a woman always yells for a lawyer. But I hate them, Mr. Lee. I don't trust them, either: all they do is tangle things up and tell you this can't be done or that can't be done. When I haye a busi- ness matter to iron out I alivays go right to the other fellow, get it straight and then call in a lawyer to put his O X on it." "This is hardly a 'business matter' and I'm afraid I cannot fully credit your story for my son has told me nothing-- "Naturally. I'm the only outsider that knows a thing about it. And it's nothing to broadcast. Why, I've known Mona since she was a child: she's al- most like my own kid. Believe me, it came as a shock. I said--" "Pardon! How did this happen?" "Just like I told you: she's an am- bitious youngster, always trying to get ahead. She was picking up a few pennies by selling lace things and--| She's only a child, Mr. i That's what makes it so rotten, see? A minor! If she was of legal age--" "Selling lace, you say?'

The first language instruction film, showing the secrets of English speach and the difficalties which hinder foreigners from mastering it, was prepared by Mr. Lloyd James, les- turer in Oriental studies. Jungle sounds; the click of the Kaf- fir, the lisp of the Indian, illustrate the basic of speech as it affects che English language. A committee of language teachers and expert phone- ticians are examining the possibilities of its further development and ap. plication. At Yondor's Zoo in Regent Park, talkies of the animals are proving a popular innovation. Many people found that they, ccould. not manage to see everything. i in one day's visit, and the problem was, "Should the hippos or the hyenas be left out?" Now they can plan their program to include evary- thing--some in real life and the rest on the screen. Often the animals are more amus- ing as caught by a patient camera man with 'unlimited time at his dis- posal than they are when surrounded by a crowd of admirers expecting them to perforin for the company. .
