longed to someone else !
Jim Pennington was making what
headway he could with Angelica. He
would not have dared to say the very
insinuating things Hurkly Ora was
now whispering to Emma—but Ange-
lica found his hesitating, diffident
worship very soothing. Had she gone
too far in her encouragement of
Hurkly to draw back now ? she asked
herself.
“Ought I to take away Angelica's
man?” wondered Emma.
“Have I the courage to go ahead
with this or should I jump the fence pe
argued Pennington.
q have at last found what Iam
looking for,” decided Hurkly Ora,
with no backward thoughts, “and I'm
darped if I am going to take the
wrong woman twice !”
Next day Jim proposed an excur
sion up into the lovely hills—with 8
luncheon basket. Everyone agreed—
the niece had been paired successful
ly with another member of the polo
team— so the six started, the four
together and the dummy pair in The
young man’s automobile.
They all talked nicely—except
Hurkly Ora who was provokingly si:
lent. Emma became uncomfortable
was this perfect creature going to
develop a habit of her late husband.
who would remain inscrutably silent
for hours? But he did speak when
they had wandered away up the hills
after luncheon had been eaten. He was
admiring the way Emma had ordered
everything—he remembered how
helpless and tiresome she had been ip
the past when circumstanecs had
forced him to rely upon her.
«Let us sit on this rock and look at
the view,” Mrs. Kranwertz said
when they reached a vantage point
“There will be no rattlesnakes,” she
went on, practically.
«That's as well since we are in the
Garden of Eden. You are Eve and
am Adam and we have not eaten any
apple.”
“Tve often wondered—would it
have grown into the same thing as ip
the fairy-story of the “Palace of Re-
venge” had the serpent not appeared
—would they have grown dreadfully
bored with Paradise?
“Certainly. They had nothing to
ocmpare their happiness with; they
would have been devoured by curiosi-
ty and resentful at being unable to
gratify it.”
This opened a train of thought in
Emma's brain.
“Then you think if one found what
one wanted after having known
things that one did not want, one
could have a chance of not walking
into the ‘Palace of Revenge.?”
Hurkly Ora permitted his voice to
be tender.
‘I think one would be: grateful to
Fate for allowing one to have a sec-
ond chance—and that would ward
off the danger of fulfilment’s suffoca-
ting one.” - :
«A second chace? That is what
troubles me sometimes; I wonder if I
threw away the first one?”
“If you want to, tell me about it.”
Hurkly Ora moved closer to her and
—accidentally—touched her arm with
his smooth fingers.
Emma was conscious of the touch
in every nerve of her body. She ‘al-
awys had hated the feel of Ludwig's
wrinkled hands. A great longing
came to her to confide in this sympa-
thetic being.
“My husband was really a wonder-
ful person,’ seh said at length, “but
be dominated me so, nothing which I!
now know I must always have had in
me ever came out.”
“He could not have been intelli-
gent then.” It was my fault, but I
suppose, although I did not know it,
I was just like other women, awfully
affected by outward appearance in a
man—Ludwig was thick-set and un-
. romantic-looking, rather stout, you
know, and square, and his ears stuck
out, and he had such a high fore-
head.” Here she glanced suddenly at
Hurkly Ora. How glad she felt that
he had none of these defects!
“You think appearance matters
enormously to women, then?”
“Yes, I do; I suppose if you were in
love it wouldn't matter, but you are
not likely to get in love if the person
bas all the things ycu don’t like.”
“And what do you like?”
Emma actually blushed—it was ab-
surd of course, and she was annoyed
with herself for doing it—but there it
was ! She looked down.
«Well, I suppose I like balance. That |
is, things just right; and I like the
marks of breeding, and no fat—"
Hurkly Ora also looked down but it |
was because he was afraid some
whimsical gleam might emerge from
his eyes.
“This is interesting,”
stractedly. “I have often wondered
if the same man oculd have two dif-
ferent bodies, would he be loved
equally in both?”
“I supose it would depend on the
women.” Emma became reflective.
“T could never have loved Ludwig
and yet plenty of others did.”
“And freedom has changed you?”
“Oh, yes. I've learned things my-
self without being forced to and I've
realized that I had no sense of hum-
or ! That is a great discovery for any-
one to make. Ludwig had an immense
sense of humor I can see now, but I
couldn’t then; he just made me un-
comfortable.”
Hurkly Ora leaned back against
the rock and his eyes looked weirdly
melancholy as he gazed at the sea.
“1 feel awfully sorry for your hus-
band. He possessed a perfect woman |
like you and he did not know it—and
the poor devil was so ugly you never
troubled to teach him to understand
you !”
Emma sighed. “I suppose not.”
She began to wonder—he was si-
lent so long—and then he said:
| “True love should be
earthly things, I suppose.”
«But that is only in romantic
above any
| books,” Emma responded in her sane
way. “In reality, once you really
loved, it might stay if the person you
loved was disfigured—though I doubt
it—but it could not be kindled if he
were revolting to start with.”
Hurkly Ora realized that this was
devastatingly true. And then sud-
denly he laughed. How astonishingly
kind Fate had been to him. Here ne
—the real he—had returned to life
with a new and attractive body, and
had found a soul born in his perfect
block of clay :
Emma had been looking at him
while he looked at the sea. Why did
this slender, handsome young man in
some way remind her of Ludwig?
There was no feature the same, and
he was considerably taller. Could it
be that Fate was going to be so kind
as to send her a mate who pleased her
senses, and interested her mind as
well? Ludwig could have done the
latter, she now knew—but oh!—never
the former ! Never !
“I adore that black mole on your
neck,” Hurkly Ora suddenly whisper-
ed irrelevantly. ‘I want to kiss it.”
But this was too precipitate for
Emma.
“I see the others waving to us”
she announced, and rising with swift
sure movements, she gave him her
hand and suggested that they shou'd
run down the hill.
Things were also going at too fast
a pace between the attractive widow
and Jim Penington—so both she and
Emma felt that it might be wiser to
return to their former beaux for a
little—just to give the ones they real-
!ly desired & jolt. And both ladies ar-
ranged that the rest of the picnic
should be spent with the man who
would have preferred to be with the
other !
The consequence being that both
males were Cross.
Turning into a back passage as she
went up to dress for dinner, Emma
ran into Johnson.
“Why, Johnson !” Her voice died
away as though she had met a ghost.
“Very pleased to see you, ma'am
I'm Mr. Hurkly Ora’s valet now. 1]
found myself lonesome without work.
even after the master’s generous pro-
vision for me, so I took service ip
Budapest. I was hoping to see you
ma’am, during our visit.”
Emma. said something suitable and
passed on. In her well-balanced head
there seemed nothing strange in all
this; coincidence certainly, but mere-
ly coincidence that her late husband's
valet should be with the man she
now wanted as a lover—a lover of
course who might turn into a husband
—but yet a lover primarily.
‘Both she and Angelica intended to
relent and let their real preferences
| show tonight. For things move fast
rin a climatic setting made for Olym-
pian gods, and marriages can be ar-
ranged (and divorces procured) in a
tenth part of the time it takes in the
bleak East.
; “I love you and I intend that you
' shall belong to me,” Hurkly Ora told
Emma on the balcony after dinnér. |
! He would ‘not stand any more fencing.
. “You're just the biggest peach of a
girl I've ever met and Tll worship
you forever !” Jim Pennington whis-
| pered fearfully to Angelica.
“I've something to say to you!”
{ Pennington growled grimly to the at-
tractive Hungarian.
“Let’s walk on the terrace then,”
! Mr. Ora replied.
| “I don’t know who you are really
‘and T've not got a darned cent of
evidence to prove what I am saying,
but you keep reminding me of Lud-
|wig Kranwertz somehow—I knew
how clever he was—and if you won't
give up the girl I'm set on, I'll get a
| pressman and start the hare. Take it
{or leave it.”
| Hurkly Ora quietly slipped his
i hand into the pocket of his immacu-
‘late evening coat and drew forth a
| minute gun which he suddenly pres-
sed to Jim Pennington’s temple.
| “I'l take it—whatever you call—
but which girl do you want? We'd
better know that first !”
“You are a fool !” Jim cried. “Why,
Angelica, of course !”
| “That is just first grade since I
“want—Emma ! So it almost seems as
if we might shake hands!”
«They did.
! “Oh, Jim. I have to be taken care
of and—and—comforted and loyed.”
“You'll get that from me—and
more !”
CHANGE IN LAW ~~ pl
COVERING BOUNTY.
There was only one really import-
ant piece of legislation affecting the
sportsmen of the State passed at the
session of the Legislature. That is
known as the Ederer bill and it pro-
vides that when any change is made
by the game commission as to change
in seasons or regulations, the pro-
posed changes shall be advertised. In
addition, there shall be opportunity
for hearings.
This bill had the endorsement of
the game commission. It made some
other revisions in the game laws rel-
ative to the deer season.
Bills tending to put the commis-
sion out of business or seriously ham-
per it were killed by the Legislature.
The matter of handling the doe deer
situation remains in the hands of the
game commission, but the methods
are regulated. When the necessity for
reducing the number of deer is appar-
ent the commission will deal with the
situation probably along county lines,
It will retain the power to decide
whether special licenses are to be is-
sued for certain days.
Under the Ederer bill the commis-
sion will have better protection
against any agitation than it did un-
der the old law, when it could be
harassed by everybody.
The financial side of the issuing of
game licenses will pass to the new
department of revenue, but it will pot
make any difference to the hunters.
This is for the purpose of consolidat-
ing all of the fiscal business of the
State. :
One of the bills killed was to sub-
stitute a button for hunting license
tag. It was opposed by many sports-
men and farmers. Hunters said that
the buttan could be torn off easily in
the brush and the farmers contended
that it could be easily concealed by
reckless shooters and that identifica-
tion of an offender would be almost
impossible. The game commission
found fault because the button would
have been three inches in diameter.
There was a bill to prevent the kill-
ing of ruffed grouse for a period. It
was defeated, being killed in com-
mittee.
One of the interesting changes in
the bounty law was to place a price
of $5 on the head of each goshawk
killed in Pennsylvania. This bird is
one of the most vicious of the falcon
group. It makes raids into Pennsyl-
vania from Canada and is most de-
structive on grouse and rabbits.
The goshawk seems to delight 1n
killing for the love of slaughter. It
has been known to slay a grouse and
almost immediately start after anoth-
er.
The bounty on wildcats has been
reduced from $15 to $10 and the
bounty on red foxes has been cut
from $5 to $3. While the wildcats
are destructive on both grouse and
rabbits, they are becoming very
scarce and there is a feeling among
many sportsmen that no sepcies of
wild life should be exterminated.
“With regard to red foxes, there was
a different. reason for reducing the
bounty. They are numerous and ip
some regions they seem to be holding
their own, if not increasing. But the
value of the red fox pelt has been
growing each year. Average pelts
fetch about $8 and there are instan-
ces of prime Pennsylvania red fox
skins selling as high as $25. Many
bring $15.
The high prices have encouraged
trappers and during the past winter
there were more traps set than ever.
It was felt that the state bounty
could safely be reduced and not hurt
the business of holding down the
fox tribe.
A rather serious attempt was made
to increase the bounty on weasels
from $1 to $2, but it was killed in the
final days of the session. One of the
arguments used against it was that
the increased bounty would encour-
age men to go into the business or
raising weasels for the bounty money.
The State could not afford to en-
courage such ventures and the prop-
osition came to an end.
Then there was an effort to make |
it legal to trap skunks at any time
of the year .but it was stopped.
Skunks can be slain when invading
{ a hen roost but the trapping is limit-
ed to the winter season and the value |
of the pelt is so high that the State
. offiicals favored tLe trapping indus-

try.
Few changes of any kind were
made in the fish laws. The legal size
of muscallunge and great northern
pike was reduced but there ave only a
few lakes in the state where they are
found and it makes small difference
| But as Hurkly Ora crushed Emma to the average fishermen of the state
in his arms,
her lips: “Not always !"—Hearst’s
. International—Cosmopolitan.

There was the usual flock of bills
to permit the catching of eels in eel
baskets and traps and to take suck-
ers with nets. One of the most in-

sion was on the ee! trap, but argu-
ments by Susquehanna river men
failed to have any effect upon the
legislators.
