CHAPTER III—Continued

They rose and floated away to
the rhythm of the sentimental mu-
sic. Ellen felt closer to Jerry when
they danced than at any other
time. They seemed so completely
attuned then, step seeking step,
turning instinctively in each grace-
ful movement. He was just enough
taller; he gave himself to the spirit
of the underlying sensuousness of
the air, communicated it to her.
The music ended with an in-
creased tempo and a final bang.
They walked to their table where
the waiter had placed their des-
sert.
The place was filling up. There
had been only eight or ten for din-
| ner, but now almost every place
was occupied. Across the room El-
len caught the eye of Hugh Marsh,
gave him a laughing salute. Dor-
rie and Joan nodded to her, and
Cun Whitney too. She had never
met Cun, but supposed it was a
pleasant informality evoked by the
friendship of the others.
She turned to Jerry.

“lI never feel I know her very

“What?"
“l think a person so beautiful

Such a picture that you're a little

miration you feel, and they're
amused by it.”
Jerry nodded. ‘“‘She sounds high-
nosed to me,” he pronounced brief-
ly, cutting through Ellen's strug-
gling analysis. “Is Kezia like
her?”
“You'll meet her soon. She
wants me to take you over some
night.”
Just as they were leaving, Kezia
| came in with Arthur Williams and
they met on the steps. Kezia
turned cordial, radiant eyes on
Jerry as she extended her hand.
| “Nice to know you. I've heard so
much about you."
Ellen could see that Jerry looked
| pleased and impressed.
| “El, you're not leaving, are
| you?” came Kezia's sweet ag-
| grieved complaint. “Do stay with
| us and dance—we'd have a four-
| some!”
| Arthur seconded the invitation.
| “Sure—a foursome. What's the
| idea of leaving now?”
| But Ellen pleaded another en-
| gagement and they took their de-
| parture.
Jerry helped her ceremoniously
into the car. His manners were
much better than most of the men
she knew, she thought with pride.
If he hadn't learned them at home,
he had picked them up from obser-
vation of others. They would pass
muster with her mother, Kezia—
anyone. She hugged the reflection
to herself with pleased content.

They drove down the winding
drive to the main road. “I wish
we had stayed,” said Jerry, re-
gretfully. “Kezia--she's charming,
isn't she? 1 wouldn't have mind-
ed meeting Hugh and what's-her-
name, too. We could have had a
good time.”
Ellen was conscious of a pang.
The knowledge that she was drag-
ging him away from the gay come
pany for an awkward interview
with her family, made her feel
guilty. “We'll go out again some-
time,” she said quickly.
As they spun along the concrete
road toward town, edged with sub-
urban bungalows and an occasion-
al farmhouse, she wondered what
would Mother say? Any of the ter-
rible things she had voiced before
she left? She wouldn't hear Jerry
insulted! She would be firm on
that. But how protect him from
the iniquitous insul. of the look
Lizzie could wear upon occasion?
She had watched Fanny Plaice
shrink and wither under its dis-
dain and disapproval the time Ca-
leb had brought her to the hcuse.
Her mother had asked Fanny icy
questions designed to disconcert
her. She hadn't come a second
time, and presently Caleb had mar-
ried Ena Mills. Mother shouldn't
do that to her and Jerry! She
must not. Ellen's delicate face
looked almost steely in its valor
as she decided that nothing would
shake her determination to marry
Jerry.
Mrs. Pendleton was evident-
ly waiting for them, for she sat
very erect in a torturingly stiff
carved, high-backed chair. The
living-room was in the full blaze
of all the chandeliers. ‘Like a
queen,” crossed Ellen's mind in a
nervous snickering instant, Mrs.
Pendleton was a blond, big-boned
woman, with distrustful, cold gray
eyes and

“I've never met them."
It was slogging hopelessly. But
Jerry braced himself and came

“1 have an aunt who is an invalid.”
Lizzie looked somewhat mollified.
“It started with a sore throat, an
infection in the blood stream. A
very slow and dangerous disease.
Few are ever cured.” She actu-
ally smiled, although it was the
slow, self-pitying smile of the in-
valid who enjoys her illness. “I've
tried every doctor here that I have
any confidence in, and I've been
to specialists in other cities. Some-
times I am helped for a time—usu-
ally it is money thrown away. I
manage to get about-—just get

“Seems to me my aunt tried
some kind of drinking water, a
special kind.”
Lizzie knitted her pale, scraggy
brows. “Gavin, what was the
name of the one I used so long?”
Gavin shook his head gloomily.
“Dunno.” He, also, took a chair
as if the worst of the tension was
over.

The Sight Meter
Shows Whether Light

they talking in terms of idle

Outdoors, in the noonday sun
of a midsummer day, we have
from 8,000 to 10,000 of these
footcandles to see by. Could
you say at a guess how much
light we have indoors? Guess,
again! Even on a bright day
we have only a few footcandles

act of congress passed on July 1,
1862, and effective Oct. 1, a stamp
tax was levied upon practically
every document and legal paper,
and upon proprietary medicines,

playing cards. Other laws were
passed in succeeding vears as new
taxable items were brought to the
attention of those charged with
raising money to provide the sinews

stamps made for a particular in-

any other, as it was hoped to pro-

stamps upon any form of document,
but still ruled against the use of

the tropical seas, is the swiftest bird
that flies, but scientists have not |

limits, says Pearson's Weekly. The
pectoral muscles are immensely de- |
veloped, and weigh nearly one-
fourth of the total weight of the bird.
Another rapid flyer is the common
Black Swift. It has been computed
that the greatest speed it attains is
about 276 miles an hour, which if
maintained would carry the bird
from its summer retreat in England,
to its winter home in Central Africa
in about six hours. The American
Canvas-back Duck is commonly sup-
posed to be capable of flying at a
speed of 200 miles an hour.
First Ice-Making Machine
The first purely mechanical ice-
making apparatus was developed in
1775 by Dr. William Cullen, an Eng-
lishman, who perfected a device
based upon the vacuum principle.
This method was not practicable,
and it remained for Jacob Perkins,

a mixture of ether and brine. His
invention was patented in 1834.

The cassowary is a sort of cousin
to the ostrich and emu, but perhaps
his nearest relatives were the giant
moas of New Zealand, which dis-
appeared 700 years or so before the
coming of the white man
The moas stood 10 or 12 feet high
and laid two-galion eggs. The biggest
hen cassowary sometimes stands
six feet, and her hair-like feathers
grow as long as 12 inches.
The cassowary’s strange feathers
and bright-colored neck and bone
“helmet’’ make him a valuable at-
traction in a circus menagerie. He
is sometimes billed as a
monstrosity from the wilds of
Australia, half bird and half beast.”
The wings of the cassowary are
only useful as weapons. They con-
three-toed feet, and his powerful
beak. The cassowary's toes are
armed with strong claws for scratch-
ing.
He gets his food by digging it out
the open. The cassowary in his na-
tive Australia lives on insects,
swift runner and a vicious fighter
when cornered.
The Beisa Antelope
The long, rapier-like horns of the
beisa antelope enable him to pre-
vail now and then over the fangs
and claws of the king of beasts.
Oddly enough, African hunters say
the beisa shares this distinction
with the giraffe, a creature which
seems timid, awkward and harm-
less, with a vulnerable length of
neck, and fragile, stilt-like legs. Yet
the front hoofs of the giraffe are
sharp, and his legs muscular. His
thrusts have been known to cut a
lion to death.
“Wolf at the Door”
The use of the phrase “wolf at the
