{Past Cruelty in Spain Savage cruelty to one another is nothing new to Spain. In the 1860s’ in one of the many Spanish civil wars of the last century, after a battle in the streets of Madrid when many of the cap- tured rebels were killed as ex- amples, Queen Isabel, not satis- fied, sent word to her general to kill still more of the captured. Her general's reply is worthy of repetition: ‘‘Does the lady not un- derstand,” he said, ‘‘that if we shoot all the soldiers we catch, the blood will rise up to her own chamber and drown her?” Week's Supply of Postum Free Read the offer made by the Pos- | tum Company in another part of | this paper.

Gavin glanced at Jerry's suit meaningly. He had computed its cost and suspected Jerry of ex- travagant taste in clothes. Lizzie shook her head at him. "Settle it again—no hurry,” he muttered. He left the room precipitously and did not return. Lizzie changed to a more com- fortable chair, and drawn by Jer- ry's deferential attention, recount- ed in a tangential flow stories of her activities before she had been stricken, of her two sons, Caleb and Gavin Junior, the trouble she had keeping competent help, the oriental rugs she had bought, and the hotels she had found most agreeable in Atlantic City.

He bLuilt a cabin near the stream and traded with the few settlers and the wandering bands of Indians. He sent for his family, his wife, with three small children, and his two brothers. Hugh started a store which flour- ished as the settlement grew into a village. He made trips to Pitts. burgh by boat for supplies and bar- tered or sold, ar~ording to the need of the individual. Presently the word traveled shook at his of about that two settlers, Wyant and Nash, had erected a blast furnace on the shore of the river a few miles above the settlement. They turned out stoves, kettles and cast- ings, crude in appearance, but serviceable. Hugh's trips to Pittsburgh had awakened his interest in the need for iron in a new community, and a nebulous idea took form as he weighed out coffee and tea and flour. He talked of it to his sons, Hugh and Caleb and Silas, and fired their youthful imaginations. Wyant died and Nash moved on to Indiana, abandoning the simple furnace, while Hugh figured and planned and explained to his sons. The Pendleton boys went into partnership when they grew up, started another furnace. By the middle forties, Hugh Junior, Caleb and Silas Pendleton were the own- ers of a successful iron works which employed eighteen hundred men. The Pendletons intermarried with the Woods, the Renshaws, the Mof- fats, the Debarrys, newcomers from Virginia, the east and Eng- land, until in the nineteen thirties the relationships would have taken a genealogical expert to unravel. The society of the town was a spi- der-web of distant cousinships turn- ing up at unexpected places. Much of the leadership of old Hugh Pen- dieton had descended to the men of the family; the women had grace and fastidiousness. Alien blood mingled with theirs, warm blood, cold blood, but something racial persisted. Fluvanna was the great-great- granddaughter of the first Hugh, descending through Hugh, his son. Her father had been Ely Pendleton, and she his only child—a swaying, anemone creature, fine-boned as most of the Pendleton women were. Light brown hair grew back from a curving hairline; the tracery of the brows above full eyelids might have been done by a pencil stroke; the nose was sensitive; the mouth curved and wistful. Although James Marsh had been welcomed among them as a cousin of the Clements, there was not a She Was Proud, Hopeful, Unut- terably Happy. great deal of approval of the mar- riage of James and Fluvanna. There were local grievances—fami- lies whose sons had yearned for Fluvanna and been passed over. Although pride in clothes was a Pendleton credo, James was thought to lean toward too great an elegance in dress. His hand- some bearing was no novelty; many of the men had that; they suspected his grace, his flattery, as qualities which did not go with the solid virtues of monogamy. As the years went by, the older ones shook their heads oracularly as reports of his irregularities came in—gam- bling, drinking, neglecting his busi ness, Ely Pendleton looking grim and Fluvanna, gay in company, but when off guard, seeming fright ened and distrait. Ely Pendleton died suddenly, and Fluvanna and her family moved in to the old house with her mother who was an invalid. A year or two of comparative ease and prosperity followed. James was thoughtful to ward the suffering mother; debts were paid; the feverisk prosperity of the War was on. James made money in the stock market and it erased the galling sense of obliga- tion he had left when old Ely, stern. browed, thin-lipped, had met his pressing deficits. Mrs. Pendleton died just after Armistice day, and James was very kind that winter. Then business took a holiday, stocks slumped, and Fluvanna be gan a gradual parting with the in come her father had left in trust for her. Her mother's money had been left to her unconditionally, and that went in appalling amounts to cover the very good securities, sure to hit a hundred and ten, which James had bought on margin. The more James lost, the more he drank, the oftener he was seen morose and truculent, leaning over his cards late at night, playing with men who were luckier than he. Late one afternoon, the town with the news that he had himself (TO 2E CONTINUED) By Louise Brown YZ can't expect to get as much light from a lamp with dusty bulbs and shade as you can from one that is clean anymore than you would expect the sunlight to shine through a dirty window as brightly as through a clean one! trick Mi There's clean, to ye zing bow often they are no at all ping lamps and when the rest of the I cared for.

They are not ants, but are related to cockroaches, The relationship is fairly distant and { is based on anatomical resem | blances. The termite is free from the cockroach’'s filthy habits and deplorable morals. { On the other hand, according te { Dr. Thomas M. Beck, in the Chicage | Tribune, the termite has evolved a | social organization quite similar to that of ants. The colonies of most | species of termites are divided into five castes which differ greatly from | each other in appearance. First | there are those of the winged type, which periodically swarm out inte the open and fly away to ostablish new colonies. These are the largest, | being about a half inch long. A second and larger group cone gists of individuals with only rudi- mentary wings, and then there is a | third group whose members are wingless. Each of the three groups consists of males and females and apparently is capable ol! repro- ducing any or all of the five termite types. Finally there are the two most numerous groups, the soldiers and the workers, which are sexless. The worker resembles one of the wing- | less type mentioned above and does most of the hard work around the colony. Such being the case, he is the one most responsible for the damage done to buildings. | Termites Are Not Ants; “Point” in Market Reports “Point,” as employed in marked reports, means a recognized unit of variation in price and is used in quoting the prices of stocks as well as various commodities.
