CHAPTER XIV.--(Cont'd.) 1f Miss Graham loved her brother s0 much, and that brother was so leeply in debt. ...Perichon saw her ingers reaching out towards some vearls, Perhaps at first the impuise 16d been involuncary, just a nervous -eaction of the hands to a min. which sight have been thinking: "If 1 had 'hose pearls I could clear Euan." Then someone had come, Suzannu: the French maid, and almost as involun- te rily her fingers had caught up the pearls. She hi' not meant to take them, but feeling guilty at the thought 'vhich had passed through Jer head, and being startled, she had grabbed them. Then, frightened perhaps or even succumbing to the temptation into which she had fallen, she had kept tiem, passing them perhaps to her brother-- ; Suddenly Perichon broke off; for there, sitting .. few yards away, was the girl herself. Covertly he stared at her, his practiced eye taking in her long slim lines, her well made but simple dress, and her. attractive face peneath the shady straw hat. It was pale and judging by the way she occa- sionally bit her lips rather nervous.as her eyes rested on the lift door. Peri- thon found himself liking her. She . was simple and no thief--no, certainly not. But if she had loved her brother £0 much--too much--if he had been in great trouble--? Who was she wait- ing for? Her nice impatient English- man? No, she would losk more happy. M. Perichon's question was answered almost instantly, for a man hurried up to Jean Graham, bowed over her hand and seemed to6 be offering her profuse apologies of sore kind. When the man turaed, however, and he saw that it was none: other than Baron Max de Laurier, the detectives eyes narrowed, 'for he said to himself: "What ic the sonnection between these two more dissimilar peopl:?" He would have liked to have wvatched them but they went immediately into the restaurant, at- the door of which (he Maitre PHotel accorded them a sweeping bow. Perichon's eyes smiled, but they no- ticed two things: That several people sitting about them nudged each other and whispered as they passed, and that a man who had been reading in 2 corner got up and followed ther. Today this man wore a blue suit, but the other day he had worn brown. With a sigh Perichon got up. " "Allon, Papa, we too -will take "lunch," he told himself, and.beamed when the head 'waiter placed him in the category of the notorious by mak- ing him as he passed over the thresh- old a flatteringly low obeisance. Jean sat facing de Laurier in the window of the restaurant. In the far :orner an orchestra played, but was idmost drowned by the clatter plates and the chatter and laughter »f the company. The Baron had ord- -sred "a very excellent lunch and was tistressed that his young guest seem- id to take small interest in it and ate sery little, But Jean had accepted the man's invitation for one purpose only, and she was wondering how to lead ihe subject rounu to it. That she was oeing far from entertaining she real- ized, but she could not bear the way ter host kept looking at her, openly admiring her with his eyes and flatter- ing her with ais tongue, . To avoid his glance she gazed about the room and saw at a single table a little to the left and almost behind de Laurier an oldish man with a grey moustache from the ends of which he was wiping gome drops of soup, The ed him for a while, wondering vague- > I . The Baron watched her, his eyes gleaming with the reflected light of as pretty at his table and a smile for 'other and more ginigter reasons, It was not until afterwards, when they were seated in a corner of the lounge with coffee on the table before "Baron, what exactly did you mean by your last remark when I left you the other day?" _ He pulled his chair nearer to hers and replied in the whisper of a con- by ALLYN SLOAN must be careful that the police do not hear of them." : Jean strove to keep her voice level as she said: "I don't know what you mean." : "But you have heard of the loss of Mrs. Winton's pearls, surely?" "Of course, but what has that to do with my brother?" 3 The .Baron .cast her a sidelong glance, then looked down at his hands. Staring stonily at the sleek black head, Jean waited. In. spite of the varm day she felt cold, shivering al- most with apprehension. She had thought that only she knew about the pearls, whereas apparently this man krew something a well--more per- haps than she, : "I think that your remark call for an explanation, Baron," she said coldly. He shugged his shoulders: "It is difficalt if Mademoiselle does not know. I had thought that you would have known." Jean moved exasperatedly: 'Please speak more plainly, I don't know what you mean, do not know?" De Laurier appeared to consider « moment, then before she could prevent him, he had taken her hand and held it in his, as in a gently sympathetic voice he said: Lut if you wish it--" "I do," she jerked, withdrawing her hand. . "Then, on the morning that you left Monte Carlo your brother showed me Mrs. Winton's pearls. Oh, please do not be angry!" he cried, for the girl had made a sudden movement of vio- lant protest, It seemed to her out- rageous that he should say such things to her--he, a practical stranger--and vet those pearls--that row. of lovely pink-tinged pearls which Euan had tried to grab from her--""How dare vou!" she gasped. ) "But, Mademoisélle, I am telling you the truth," the Baron protested, looking at her earnestly. 'Graham showed them to me as security for the money he owed me. He said that in a day or two he would be rich--" Desperately, Jean asked: "If he did show you some pearls, how do you know that they were Mrs, Winton's? Did he say so?" "Not in £0 many words, no. But 1 know those lovely pearls, Mademoi- selle, I have seen them so often. M. Perichon, seated over his coffee and cigar at some distance across the lounge, appeared to be blowing smoke rings and ruminating, but his eyes, through the screen of smoké with which he yas clouding his interest, were watching cean and de Laurier. "Why? Why?" he asked himself over and over. What were they up to, those two? Before lunch the girl had seemed nervous, but now--What was that expression on her face? Horror, amazement, fear? Yes, all three and possibly more, beneath an innate crusting of reserve. He noticed the rigid way she was sitting, very up- right and still, excepting for her hands which were kneading them- selves together in her lap, and her face, which at lunch had been flushed with the heat of the restaurant, was pale again. What was the Baron say- ing to her? The Baron--for a mo- ment Perichon's thoughts left Jean of | he ever seen him before? and turned to de Laurier. He was a geod deal older than the girl, older even than he looked, he felt sure. Had Gustave Perichon 'closed his eyes, and for a while looked like 8 somnolent old peli- can as he stared at the twirl of mental pictures which swam before his inner vision, and listened to the voices which memory reproduced for him, The pic- tures cleared and crystallized into one --Longchamps on a summer's day, the gay crowd, the Lorses, a blue sky and, crossing before his line of vision, the notorious Annia Dushkin, painted as ever and dressed to the nines, and leaning on the arni of a tall dark man --4"Ah!"" Suddenly the detective open- ed his eyes and stared over at de Laurier. "The same," he muttered, frowning again as he wondered whe- ther the Baron Lad had any profes- sional connection with the Dushkin, or whether, like many another man, he had merely been her dupe? In the corner de Laurier was covert- ly observing the English girl's dis- tress, Laying his hand over hers, he murmured: "You are upset, Mademoi- selle." It is a shock to you?" Moving slightly away from him, she was silent whilst controlling her voice, At last she said: "I don't know what to think." *,: "Ah, you do not believe me?" ex- claimed the Frenchman. Jean raised her eyes to his face and gave him a steady stare, which he returned un- flinchingly. Incredible as it was, she found herself believing Him. Euan had actually bee: fool enough to show the man those pearls, whoever they belonged to. In an agony of shame = -- -- Ln allo X Telephone Your Orders Collect What is it that 1|.. "Miss Graham, I hate to tell you, she gripped her hands together and fought for control, She must not let tke Baron gauge the depth of her dis- may and yet .h: felt as if she were drowning slowly, singing into' depths of darkness. De Laurier's face did not reveal the true trend of his thoughts, He mere- ly looked intensely concerned that the girl should be so hard hit, "Madamoiselle, I am desole to maka vou suffer," he whispered; warmly, "I hoped in telling you to brifig you com- fort, You see, I thought you knew that Graham had the pearls, and per- haps, also, that you knew he had shown them to me. I thought that you would be afraid I would tell the police--" . : Involuntarily' Jean let out a gasp of horror, whispering: "Oh, you wouldn't!" » "I have not, I assure you, Miss Graham." "Oh, *thank" you!" For a moment her hand covered her eyes. It was a very rapid gesture, but it was observ- ed by two people in the lounge, M. Perichon and the man in the blue suit, "I--I think I must go." Jean got up. "So soon ?"Je Laurier smiled. (To Ye continued.) , a 850 Words To Do Work of 500,000 Simplification of English Ton- gue to Provide Solution of World Language Problems London.--"Basic English," a simpli- fication of the English tongue intend- ed to provide a workable solution to the language communications prob- lems of the world, has been launched by thé Orthological Institute of Cam- birdge, England. Failure of many attempts to provide an "invented" language that could be used throughout the world as a means of communication between the people of all nations who speak 1,500 living languages led to the effort to adapt the English tongue for the 'purpose. New Level The new form of English, introduced to Canada at the Institute of Pacific Relations Conference at Banff in Aug- ust, centains only 850. words, 600 of them nouns, 150 adjectives,-16 verbs 'or names of operators and the rest adverbs, prepositions or names of dl- rections. These, in addition to numbers, weights and measures, the calendar and such words as club, radio and tele- gram, already internationalized, do the work of 500,000 words of English at a level of ordinary communication, English was chosen for the new medium because it is the natural or administrative language of 500,000,000 people, and because no other language is susceptible to the ame kind of sim- plification. With no inflections and analytic in structure it is not only closer to the language habits of many Orientals but, for the same reason, is easier to learn, In Japenese Schools The interest with which persons in all parts of the earth have turned to this form of English (in which. this paragraph is written)gives its backers the belief that it may be put to a great number of uses. ' Letters have come into the Orthological Institute in Cam- bridge by the thousands from all parts of Europe, the Far East, and the United States. Schools in the states on the American Pacific Coast are in- terested in it as a way of helping the young Chinese and Japanese to a good knowledge of English, ~ In China, where English is the second language, there is much interest in it, and Jap- anese teachers are about to put it in their schools. Teléscopic Terms Widely differentiated uses of a word are eliminated in the new medium), such as "for in the same sensejof be- cause," "that" in the sense of a rela. tive pronoun, or "bit" as part of a horse's harness. It makes use of the fact almost all verbs can be analyzed into one of a few fundamental opera- tions in combination with a directive, The simplest combinations of 'these give equivalents for 2,000 common verbs such as "put in" for insert," "go up" for climb," "take out" for '"extri- cate,". and 'go against a law" for "break a law." 1% In the same way, by descriptive analysis, many names of things are re- duced to telescopic. «erms, A "jour- nalist" becomes a newspaperman' and a "desk" a writing table." ieicstiisciedl Springtime Babies Win Health, Says Scientist Stockholm, -- Babies. born in the spring have a better chance for future life and- health than those born in the fall or winter, says Professor Ivar Broman, Swedish scientist.

Stans. by and James M. Lemon are substi tuting science for the hand, the eye and the nose in judging the freshness of fish. You see them grinding up a haddock, shaking it up with some water, then adding a little quinhy- drone and finally passing a feeble elec: tric current through the mass, A voltmeter, familiar to radio -enthusi- asts as a potentiometer, tells how many volts -are passing through and hence indicates how fresh the fish is. The test means simply that more elec- tricity can be passed through a fresh than through a stale fish, Clearly this is no test to housewives. But dealers who buy and sell fish by thg carload and shipload can make "It is necessary to tell how long. it has been since a fish was caught," say Stanshy and Lemon, "but it is important to know how much longer a fish may be ex- pected to keep if handled properly." After a fish is langded it stiffens, which explains why firm flesh has al- ways Leen the housewife's tried and true test of freshness, Soon a soften- ing process sets in. First the com: plex proteins break down. Later the bacteria set to work and bring about further decomposition, Mere soften: ing detracts from the value of a fish but not from its edibility., Bacteria spoll the fish. Since fish is packed in fce for as long as two weeks, during which soft- ening may occur, the test is of com- mercial importance. Stansby and Lemon believe that their method may be equally applicable' to meat and other packing house products.

"Laid Off Until Monday" _MaryyGraham Andrews Recently I read of a little boy. who had heard much "depression" talk, He came home from kindergarten on: Fri- day and announced: "I haye been laid off until Monday." £27 That same day I met Mrs, Delk, who complained, "0, dear; what shall I do with Jimmie? He makes a ner- vous wreck of me on Saturday and Sunday when he is not in kindergar- ten, I can't understand it; his teach- er tells me that he is a most reliable child, that if she asks him 'to do a thing, she can depend upon his doing it, that he is always courteous and cheerful." if "Isn'. he like that.at home?" I ques- tioned. : "No, he is not! He is always tag- ging after me, begging to do one thing after another, He torments me wita silly questions, Finally, I get so irri- tated, I make him sit on a chair. He stays, but stages-a tantrum. 'I won't stay here," he screams." I recalled the boy who said he had told Mrs: Delk about him, and sug- gested: "Jimmie is restless and re- sentful because you have laid him oft until Monday." > "Please tell me what to do," she sald, earnestly, . : "Have you ever thought that a child grows bored when there is nothing de- finite to do all day? Why don't you give Jimmie a chance to help you? Give him - an opportunity to get aé quainted with you and the interesting home world about him. Why don't you stop laying him off until Mon- day?" : ; . Mrs, Delk-decided to tegt out a'few simple suggestions: 2 1. Not to let Jimmie oversleep on Saturday, because that would bring been "laid off until Monday" and I} his breakfast later than on the first five days of the week. 2..To let him help set the table, car- ry out the dishes and put the news- [papers and magazines in order upo | the tables. ; 3. To schedule his play time. 4. To permit him to go to Sunday School with the other children of his neighborhood., x A chart was posted and checked each week-end. This checking: took on the spirit of a game. Mrs, Delk was very careful to pass lightly over the fail- ures 'and commend the successes warmly, - It was not a magic formula but Mrs, Delk feels that the suggestions were of real value to her. : : The same ideas can be used or adapted to fit any individual case and bear character-building results, Par- ents should realize that a chil' is hap- pier and b comes more self-respecting if he discovers that he is depended upon to do certain things regularly and well.

The letters 'to Anne Boleyn date back to 1528. Henry was forty-two He was seeking. to have made invalid his marriage to Catherine. He had fallen in love for the first time. His attentions to Anne had caused a public outery, which resulted in: the King sending her away to sil- ence it. oe In his first letter to "My mistress and friend," he says: "lI and my heart put ourselves in your hands, begging you to recommend us to your favor, and not to let ab- sence lessen your affection to us." In his second letter he shows him- self alarmed at reports of her health. The third expresses his relief that she is well. He begs her not to be too uneasy at his absence: "For, whever I am, I am yours, and yet we must sometimes submit to our misfortunes, for, whoever will strug" gle against fate is generally but so much the farther from gaining his end; wherefore, comfort yourself, and take courage, and make this misfor- tune as easy to you as you can, and I hope shortly to make you sing with joy of your recall."
