Since she had rushed out of Mr. Jupiter‘s presâ€" ence to hide her tears at his remarks about her brother it had been coming 0. And when Dirk turned co go, for one terrifying instant she had felt utterly alone in the world. Dirk had trrned back, just in time to bring the breath back into her lungs and set ker heart to beating again. But that ene instant had taught her a lesson. She had loved Dirk before, but never like this. Whatever she must do to Dirk had said he was sorry, but his spirits did not rise with the know!â€" ledge of their having "made _up," Mary noticed worriedly. He was quict and abstracted during dinner and his conversation was confined chiefly to baiting the daring Ethel with a venom which passed right over her pretty yellow head. They faced cach other, breathing hard. Mary had not dreamed they eculd ever quarrel like this. They were very quiet on the way over and it was not until Dirk had tooled the little car up the abrupt, winding driz> and under the portico, and put on the brake, that he kissed her quickly and said, "I‘m sorry." It was an awful dinner. Every one v.as silent and depressed, except Corâ€" nelia and the girl, Ethel, who was inspired to unbelievable heights of kittenishness by the situation, of w} ich she apparertly had full know!â€" edge. That much was evident in every twinkling glance she sent from Dirk to Cornelia to Mary, and back agiin. "Mother‘s expecting us for dinner. Can‘t we postpore talking about this until later?"

As a matter of fact only consideration for Corâ€" nelia, to whom she wished to be kind, prevented her giving the blond chit a verbal spanking. "It is not over for me. It will never be over until I‘ve found out what the truth is." Mary was shaking as she issued her ultimatum. Dirk snapped, "Very well. But don‘t see this man Bowe: again." "I‘ll see him as often as it‘s neces sary." "Thenâ€"good night." Dirk turned on his heel and stiode angrily to the door. He couldn‘t bear to quarre!, cither his eyes said. You‘re not going to mind, are you, if Mr. Bowen and I follow up those clues he has?" Even as she recounted the news of the coat excitedly, she was aware that Dirk‘s manner had hardened sudderly, that he was deâ€" ‘itely angry .ow. "Don‘t you know better," he said with measured, reproving accents, "than to talk to newspapermen?" "But gurely," Mary asked, amazed, "Mr. Bowen‘s harmless! Why, he‘s done more to clear up the matter than anybody elseâ€"the police, or you, or anybody." "Ard why has he? For the sake of a story, that‘s why!" Stumblingly, Mary tried to defend her own estimate of Bowen. She felt that Dirk was unfair, but she did n»t k1 ow how to refute his charges. "Society and millions and a pretty girl!" Dirk went on. "If that isn‘t a perfect com»in«tion for him, 1 don‘t know what is! And you let him drag you into it all over again, ju:t when we‘d got it stopped!" "Oh, so you did stop it?" "I did. And it stays stopped, if 1 have anything to say about it." At the door Dirk turned back kesiâ€" tantly. Even "Mother Ruyther," as Corâ€" relia ersisted in calling her, soon Dirk kissed her fingers tenderly, his lips lingering on her ringed third . iger. "Surely it‘s not necessary now," he teased gently. "A month more and you‘ll be Mrs. Dirk Ruyther. Had you furgotten?" Mary hadn‘t. For several moments they were oblivious of everything but that unbelievale fact. "I have a duty, too, to the Harkâ€" nes: name, such as it is," Mary minded him. "I‘m afraid I must see it through. "Don‘t be huify," Dirk pleaded, érawing her back into the circle of his arm again. "You know whatever you do is all right with me, always. But other people have notions. Take mother, now." "I see," said Mary. "She‘s old school, you know, and any unpleasantness reflecting on the family name goes right to her pride. It‘s all foolishness, of course." "Then why do you cater to her?" "Because she‘s my mother, I guess." This should have been a clinching argument, Mary realized, but someâ€" how it wasn‘t. CHAPTER XVv.

Some of the larger manicipalities have watering stations for horses, maintained by organizations devoted to the promotion of kindness to ani. mals, but even these are usually few and far between. Gasoline stations are particulcrly well equipped and located to take care of horses needâ€" ing water at practically no cxpense. It is doubtful if the horses, prejudicâ€" ed as they may be against the auto mobile, would object to Jrinking in the midst of a beautiful grove of red, green, blue, or yellow gasoline pumps, so long as their waterers made no effort to convince them of the _ superiority of any airplane grades of H20 or sought to prevail upon them to take a trial tankful of some prink product that would slake their thrist for a couple of miles more than do the grades that spring from the public water supply.

Glenmore Dam on Elbow _ River Near Calgary, AF berta, Prevented Seriâ€" ous Flooding Ottawa.â€"In 1931 the City of Calgary commenced the construction of a storâ€" age dam on the Elbow River at Glenâ€" more, Alberta, in connection with its water supply. This dam is nearing completion and it is interesting to note, according to the Dominion Water Power and Hydrometric Burâ€" eau, Department of the Interior, that it contributed substan ally to the amelioration of flood conditions along the Elbow River in Calgary on the oc casion of the flood at the beginning of June. At the beginning of the flood very little water was in storage above the dam but, during the flood, storage was built up by impounding a conâ€" siderable proportion of the flow and thereby cutting down the quantity of water which would otherwise have passed the dam. The level of the reâ€" servoir rose nearly 31 feet between 11 p.m. on June 1 and 9 a.m. June 3, and the flow into the reservoir rose to over 25,000 cubic feet per second, but the flow past the dar. at no time »xâ€" ceeded 11,300 cubic feet per second. The storage provided at Glenmore undoubtedly prevented very serious flood damage in Calcgary for it is calâ€" culated that without this storage the peak of the flood would have been more than five feet higher than the previous maxium of 1929 when much damage was done. With the flood height two feet lower than in 1929 the damage resulting was small.
