The train was an express one and
didn't stop until they were close to
town. She was glad of that. The
whistles blew. The train set off.
Mary glnnced below the seats, laugh
ing n little at herself over her fenrs
nnd tremors. But she wasn't going to
take nny chances, if she could help it!
The pleasant countryside nil radiant
and smiling gave a pretty panorama.
Mary leaned against the cushions and
formulnted plans. Dick nnd she would
go abroad together the moment he was
better fit to travel.
He'd had an offer from a mining
company iu South America n six
months contract that was really won
derful ns to terms. Another offer win
from Cape Town. Maybe that climato
would suit the young man better. Dick
must choose for himself. Oh, she was
glad, glad that she had married Dick,
nnd could look after him. Dear Dick!
Always she would make his interest
hers. Alwnys she would be n helpmeet
nnd a comfort to him. Life would be
so beautiful together.
That foolish dream. Her nerves were
overwrought. She hadn't slept well
lately. She'd sleep butter once the dia
mond was well sold. The whirring of
the enrrioge wheels reminded her defi

Of course, her dream. The whirring of

much the same.

might account for it. She leaned back
on her cushions and closed tired eyes.
Again the three explosions!

was ine sinister face of Kismet.

OHAPTEIt IV
Bartalnlnf With a Spider
LEGS, the wlng-makcr, poked his
head out of his nest nt.the call of
tho fairies. This time Peggy did not
shriek when she saw him. If the fairies
were not afraid of the great spider,
she wasn't going to bo. And Billy felt
tho same way.
"What do you want?" nsked Legs In
n soft, silky voice, while his bendy eyes
roved from Peggy to Billy.
"We wnnt wings, Mister Legs your
very best.
That's why wc lmve called you out
of your nest."
So sang tho fairies In answer. Legs,
the wing-maker, scurried to the center
of Mb beautiful tapestry curtain. A
crafty look camo into his eyes. .
"How many wings' do you want?" he
asked ln his peculiar silky voice.
"Two pairs,7' replied Flltter-Flssh.
"Ono for this fair mnid, whose name is
Peggy, and ono for this bravo lad,
whose nntne is Billy."
"So!" said Legs, again looking the
children ovrr carefully "Do they wnnt
the wings very much?"
"Yes, very much indeed, sir," replied
Peggy,
"Jlmlncty, I should say we do," ex
claimed Billy.
The crafty look In the eyes of Legs
became more crnfty than before, while
Flittcr-Flash gave a little gasp of dis
may. "But thev don't want them too aw
fully, nwfully much," cried Flitter
Flash quickly.
"No, they don't want them too aw--fully,
nwfully much," chonihcd nil the
fairies.
These denials by the fairies, together
with the crafty look ln the spider's eye,
showed Peggy nnd Billy thor had mndo
a mistake in speaking their mind so
freely. It was plain that Lcgse
wlng-makcr, was shrewd at a barglsfi
and meant to nek a good price for
his wings if he thought ho could get it.
"I nra very hungry," said Legs, his
voice more silky than ever. "I need
a hundred fat flies to feed me nnd my
workmen."
"Nonsense," snld Fllttcr-Flnsh.
"You and your men couldn't cnt more
than fifty. That is nil wo will pay
for the wings."
"One hundred flies. I'll not make
wings for less." spluttered Legs.
"Then you will not get the job. Wo
will go to Slick the Spinner for .our
wings. He Is getting to be very skillful
nt making them," declnred Flittcr
Flash. Peggy's heart sank, for Flittcr
Flosh had said Legs was the most skill
ful wing -maker on the Island, nnd she
wanted the very best of wings. But
Flittcr-Flash knew what he wns doing,
for ns soon as tho fairies prepared to
fly away to the nest of Slick the Spin
ner. Legs quickly brought down his
"I'll tnke soventy-five Hies," he
"Fifty or none," replied Flitter
Flash. , , ,, ,
"Then let It be fifty, but I'll have
to see the flies in my nel ociore i ,
begin Vvork." said Legs. Fllttcr-Flnsh!
gave n signal, nnd nt that n tlock of'
folrlen who had kept in the background j
flew forward. Each' held a fat. buzzing
fly. These files they pushed Into the ,
spider's webb which held mem tost.
Peggy was sorry that the flies were to
be used to pay for the wings, but when
she remembered that the flies were bad
harm-doers nnd ought to be swatted
anyway, she felt better.
A- .nnn IIH the laht fl.V Of the fift.V
was in the web, Legs, the spider, gave
n call, nnu out in nm " i"' " "
other spiders almost ns large as he
was. , ,, .. T

and girl-the very finest our skill can

Flash had been ln bargaining wiwi i.vs,

told tomorrow.
Read Your Character
By Digby Phillips
No. 4 Coarse Hair
NOW just tost It out by your own In-.llnr-t
Would you efxpect to find a real "cave
man" with fino. silky tresses?
Would you expect to find a languid,
dreamer-poet whoso thoughts soar Into
the clouds, with conise. bristly hair?
No, of course not. You'd picture them
both In vour mind with the opposite. And
In this you would be doing instinctively
nnd sub-consciously whnt tho science of
character reading has reduced more or
less to a matter of rule.
Coarso hair Is a sign of physical rug
redness, all other things being equal. It
Indicates, logically, a tendency toward
physical action, and In consequence a
tendency toward vigor and decision In
thought, for the mentality of the human
being Is largely affected by his physical
make-up It you don't believe It, look
at the effect of sickness on the mental
worker.
Coarso hair Is the sign of the doer
rather than the dreamer. He may or
may not be a thinker as well. That Is a
point which othor slgnB will help to
make cltar.
It Is the sign of action, and all that
that Implies Persons with coarse hair
aro apt to havo more contempt for de
tails and refinements They are broad
minded, but often make their decisions
without careful nnnlysls of the results
'.nnd the obstacles In their pnths: nnd.
unless this sign is moainoci ny others,
they hae tendencies toward aggressive
ness and combatlveness They have a
tendency to be dominant, nnd In extreme
cases domineering.
In short, coarse hair Indicates strength
nnd roslstance rather than pliability and
adaptability.

To Protect Milk
If the day's supply of milk Is de
livered very early In tho morning, ao
that it stands on the porch for several
hours before the family arises, a porch
box should be provided, A covered box
consisting of two galvanized Iron cases
with a layer of Insulating mnterlal Is a
good way to protect the milk from sun,
files, prowling animals and dust blown
from tho street.
To overcome that tired,

T
DON'T. believe he meant to 'kill
that girl." snld one person.' dis
cussing a recent tragedy In which n
boy nhot a girl. "I think he must
have' been crazy with Jealousy, nnd
just lhcnnt to tlirenlcn her."
"Yes." ngreed the other one. "But
how did ho ret tho ami, nnd why wns
lie, carrying it?"
That is tin! Hlrringe part of nil these,
affairs why n' boy of nlncrven, seven
teen or twenty should have n pistol In
his pocket.
Yoh hoar of It all the time. A boy
gels discouraged nbont somcthlng-r-nnil
shoots himself; another finds his rival
making love to his girl and shoots
Mm j n young man gets nngry nt his
wife, or becomes jealous ot her nnd
shoots her.
Why do they have tho pistols with
which to do tlic shooting?
Of course. It Is natural and often n
?;ood thing for a mnn to keep a pistol
n his room ln case of a visit from
lohbers.
Even If he doesn't keep It loaded hp
ran often throw a bluff which will
frighten away the marauder, nnd give
ltlm a feeling of security,
. But why does he have It loaded and
carry it around with him when he
goes peacefully about his business in
tbe daytime?
Does he expect to bo nttacked nt any
hour of tho day? Has ho no confi
dence In tho lnwfl and conventions of
the city?'
POISON is another useful little thing
that girls nnd boys seem to hnvo
within reach of n moment's whim.
A girl falls nt school. Is refused per
mission to go to n party, nnds her
lover faithless nnd takes poison.
Sometimes she is revived, sometimes
Mie dies in agony.
Why do they hove it?
There must be a lack of cheer In
the lives of young people who do theso
things.
Every girl of sixteen, sevontcen anil
eighteen has hrr tragic moments, when
nil life Is snd nnd there is no hope of
its ever getting better.
Every boy of the same uge has his
dramatic occasions, when, life having
failed him, love having proved false,
nnd the next menl being several hours
away, he thinks It would he nppro
lirlato nnd "the only thing" to kill
himself.
BUT, ln most normnl lives, the girl
meets a friend who just loves bcr
hnt, nnd gives her n chocolate sun
dae and something to giggle nt.
And the boy finds another girl or
n new imbition, and n cinnamon bun
in the cake box.
Life seems to flow right nlong in spite,

dealing with the dark question: ''Has
that young man gone yet?"

son who resembles him. is still to be'
found on many a front porch theif ions
mld-'summer evenings, Perhaps He ar
rived at 8 o'clock or even earlier. vbut
at 11 he shows no sign of departing
He Is not the girl's nance; he has no

his dull talk until midnight. One -old-fashioned
girl used strntegy with the
grandfather of Mr. Staylate Bore. "Will
you post this letter for mo on your way
home? Tho mall closes at 10 " Then
should be no need for such subterfuxts. .
It Is quite correct for the girl's mother
to come out at tho customary retlrlnt
time and announce the hour for th
benefit of tho girl. As both rise, "that
younir mnn must go" there's no other
course open to him! '
