The curtain fell on the last act and
Warren leaned over to help Helen on
with her coat. The play was obviously
u try-out. and the kind that neither
.if them liked. Warren was in a bad
humor and even Helen had reached a
point where she was not quite herself.
As they went up the aisle, Helen said
fretfully.
"Have you ever seen anything quit©
so bad. Warren? I don't see how we
managed to sit through it."
"No wonder they try out in
towns like this one." growled A\ ar
ren. "This i>lay would not last an
hour on Broadway."
They had reached the lobby and
Warren was for hailing a street car,
l*it Helen protested. "Let's walk,
dear, I have a frightful headache and
it can't be far to the hotel."
They strolled through the deserted
streets leisurely. The fresh air acted
us a tonic and Warren lost his grouch.
Helen smiled to herself as he re
marked on the beauty of the night.
"You see, dear, you needed the walk
as well as I. Now you feel more like
yourslf, don't you?"
"I feel all right, only I'm kicking
myself all over for paying two fifty
for those seats."
"Did you. Warren? That's a shame,
hut, anyway, it was fun to go to n.
try-out." 1 have never been to the
theater on an opening night, so I en
joved that part of it. anyway."
Thev reached the hotel, and as they
went into the lobby. Warren asked if
she weren't hungry.
"How would a nice little bite of
salad taste, eh?" Warren could al
ways be put into a good humor if
eating were involved, but Helen
wasn't hungry, and, with the heat of
the hotel, her headache had returned.
"I couldn't eat a thing, dear, really,
but you go ahead and order what you
like."
Warren Invites Helen
to Have a Little Lunch.
"Nonsense, I'm not going to eat all
alone; you come along with me and
you'll have an appetite before you
know it."
Helen would have preferred going!
to her room, and was surprised that
Wanvn insisted upon her going into
the dining room. Ever since last
Summer at the shore when she bad
fainted in the water, lie had never
insisted upon lier doing anything when
she had one of her peculiar head-,
aches. True, she had never had so'
had a one as she. had had that day ,
l«ut then she had never done anything
lo aggravate even the slightest pain,!
for fear of another bad spell.
They had been settled at a little I
table along the wall, and Helen looked
Around again at the decorations. She I
had thought the room a little garish to j
he beautiful, and yet it was effective. .
"I like the cosy tablo lights," don't j
you. Warren." she remarked again.:
as she slipped out of her coat: "these j
arrangements may he very new. but|
3 must say I like the other much I
better." I
"I don't know," remarked Warren
non-committally. Manlike the decora-:
tions made very little difference to,
him; it was the food that counted.
"Now what are we going to have? j
JTaven't you scared up some kind of i
an appetite? Come on, now, bo aj
sport."
"But really. Warren," Helen began.
• <it I*l risen' 3 frown
of disapproval. After an ,slio wasn't
an obliging companion, and she real
ised that Warren liked her to do what
ho did. All men like their wives to
he companionable, particularly on a
trip of this kind. Why did she always
have to be a kill-joy?
" All right, dear, you order for me."
nhe said, forcing a smile. The thought
of food made her feel worse, but if
she could manage to make Warren
think she was enjoying it, that would
be something.
"All right," agreed Warren. _ "How
would some crab salad taste? You al
ways like that."
Helen shuddered. Crab salad when
*ho was feeling well was a pleasure,
bur to-night the thought of the rich
mayonnaise was almost more than
*he could bear.

I "I think I'd rather have a club i
sandwich, dear, I don't feel like the I
salad to-night."
"All right, a club sandwich; that
isn't much, though. I'm going to!
have a real meal. I'm hungry.
Helen smiled. "All right, you order:
what you tyke. Warren, that will be
all I can possibly manage. I ate an
I enormous dinner, if you remember."
I "So did I, but several hours have
passed since then. Guess I'll have a
i lobster a la Newburg and some Jull- ;
'enno potatoes. Bring some coffee, too, i
i waiter—for two.
Warren Is Anxious
About Helen's Good Time.
"Now liow'd you feel?" said War-;
ren smiling genially across the table. |
"Headache better? That's good, Hav- j
ing a good time?
Helen forced herself to act as though ]
she felt better. "Just fine dear. I'm
iso glad you wanted me this time."
I "Of course I wanted you. Men don't I
like strange towns any better than
women do, I can tell you that. This |
I will make a fine ending to our little,
I trip."
I "Do you think I'll have time to look j
around the stores Monday before we
go?" Helen never liked to miss out on
[the stores where possible shopping]
I might be done for less money.
| "Sure, we're not going till after |
lunch, you can have all morning if
I you like."
j The things came and really looked |
'appetizing. Warren dipped into his
lobster with real enjoyment and
| Helen tasted her sandwich with not
; such a feeling of distaste as she had
! expected.
j "Not so bad. eh? Have some cof
fee?"
I "No. Warren I don't want any to
j night."
"Come now, just a cup, you must
i' have it to draw the blood away from
your head."
"But I won't sleep dear."
"You won't sleep anyway If you
have a headache, so you're more likely
to if you drink the coffee than If you
| don't."
j Helen gave in anfl took the cup
| from Warren. It was sweetened to
'suit her and she began to sip it obe
diently and to her surprise felt a little
better. By the time she had finished
her cup and roost of her sandwich and
I they were ready to go, her headache
'was almost gone, although it gave a
warning throb when she rose to go
; upstairs.
j Warren got the key. and they went
up in the elevator. In their room
[Helen began to get undressed as
'quickly as she could. If she could get
I into bed before her head started to
j throb she might ward off a bad night.
| 'Well you are in a hurry," Warren
| remarked."
j "I'm afraid my headache will come
: back. dear, and if it does I won't sleep
jat all."
Warren was silent, although Helen
I was sure he was thinking how much
! she gave in to herself. She kenw she
I did: she wished with all her heart
'that she was more self-reliant, more
j clever and subtle about hiding her
feelings. But she was just as • de
pendent as any woman could be, and
men get tired of a woman like that
for regular diet.
Warren was sitting in the one com
fortable chair the room afforded
smoking his bedtime cigar. Between
puffs, he regarded Helen as she sat
"curled up on the bod against the pll
! lows in her prettiest negligee watch
ing him. She wondered what he would
I ,lo if she should suddenly surprise him
by thinking his thoughts out loud for
him.
"You'd better get into bed," he re
marked finally. "How's the headache
now?"
"Much better, dear. I feel so much
better than I did. What were you
thinking about just then?"
"I was thinking how selfish I was
to keep you up like this when you are
all tired out. You're a little brick
most of the time, Helen, and don't
i you think I don't appreciate it."

A signal and a whispered word from
Wllkerson. nnil the door widened the
aliening, and all passed through.
With n whisk It closed.
Around bends and comers and down
Iteps, another bond and another flight
of <y'rir« Then along a long corridor,
Where scarcely a ray of ltght w«i visi
ble. All the time the shuffling feet of j
the little yellow man conld be heard la
the advance.
Then a door stopped the procession. I
Another series of signals. Another long j
wait. The door opened with a pecu- |
liar rumbling sound. They entered a
ijueerly arranged room. At first glance
It seemed very small, but as the eye
traveled around its walls Its strange
thape gave one a feeling of fearsome
npprehension. It was completely cyl
indrical.
Wllkerson at a sign from the China
man laid Ruth on the floor and a Chi
nese woman shuffled to her at the beck
of the yellow man. Leaving her In
the charge of the oriental, the others
returned the way they had come.
On the arrival of Dorr In San Fran
cisco he was met by Everett at the
ferry, and together they started the
search for Ruth. First they began a
round of the hotels. Failing to locate
her at any of the smaller hotels, first ]
Inquiring at the St. Francis, where she i
was supposed to stop, they arrived at |
the Manx.
Weary and sore from his narrow es- j
cape of the night before. Dorr was
ready to retire to his room. Intending
to purchase wearing apparel the next \
day.
Desiring to put some of his personal
effects away, he tried to open the dres
ser drawers and discovered them to be
locked He sent for a key, and to his j
nmazement, on opening one of the
drawers he discovered Ruth's papers
to the mine.
He made speedy inquiry at the office I
and from the clerk and the detective !
learned of the getaway of Mrs. Dar- j
uell and her party.
Drake In the interim secured quar- i
ters for the quartet, and still leaving
Ruth in secure hiding, well guarded by j
the watchful Wah Sing, a former
smuggling partner of Wllkerson in the
days of the "opium ring," they walked
to the lodging house and settled them
selves to await further developments.
BROOK FISH.
Why They Do Not Get Carried Away j
Out Into Deep Water*.
If you watch a school of minnows In
tome stream that has a strong and j
swift current you will see that they i
always head upstream. The reason
is plain. Only by constantly swim- j
ming against the current can the brook 1
Ush remain a brook fish and not final
ly be carried out to sea, as the brook
empties Into a river, and the river
empties into the ocean. But we can
not suppose that the brook fish knows
that this will happen if it weakly al
lows the stream to carry it along. The
joung minnow Is born with the in
stinct to resist the flow of the brook.
The most natural supposition would
be that the instinct amounts to a ten
dency to posh against the pressure
of the water, but experiments have
shown that it is not the sense of
touch, but the sense of sight that
plays the important part. The instinct
of the brook fish is not to swim against j
the current, but to keep near the same ;
"scenery" on the banks or bottom of
the stream

SAUSAGE FORTY-FIVE FEET I.ONG
Special to The Telegraph
! New Germantown, Pa., Dec. 23.
! George M. Smith, of this place, made
a sausage forty-five feet in length last
I week.
The experiments that proved thla
were performed some years ago by
Professor E. P. I<yon. He put some
little flsh Into n bottle filled with wa
ter nnd corked the bottle, which he
then placed In an aquarium, whoae
pldes had seaweed upon them. When
he moved the bottle along by the wall
all the flsh crowded to the hinder end
of the bottle. Of course thero was no
current In the bottle. The flsh were
trying to keep alongside that part of
the seaweed covered wall that was op
posite them before the bottle was
moved.
In another experiment the professor
reversed the conditions. He made a
wooden box with wire netting at each
end. Its bottom he covered with sand
and its inner sides with seaweed. Then
he put the flsh Into this box and plac
ed It In a stream. As long as the box
was kept still the flsh beaded against
the current, but as soon as the box
was allowed to float away in the
stream the flsh inside it swam in any
direction. While the box was still the
flsh, unless they made head against
the stream, were carried along past
their landmarks on the sides and bot
tom of the box. But when the box
floated along with them they carried
their landmarks with them, and so
they made no opposition to being
swept along by the stream.—Youth's
Companion.
Left Handed Men Not Defective.
As left handedness Is an Inherited
characteristic, apparently behaving us
Mendelian recessive, it Is interesting
to note the belief of some investigators
that It Is one of the stigmata of degen
eracy, says the Journal of Heredity.
Bardeieben is quoted in German peri
odicals as saying:
"That a few grent men. such as
Leonardo da Vinci, were left handed
does not neutralize the prevalent be
lief in all ages that left handedness
implies a substandard subject The
percentage of left handed recruits is
but 6.8; of school children somewhat
higher. These figures are very decep
tive, however, for of the left handed
children who become right handed the
percentage Is some 2C. This, added to
the persistently left handed, raises the
original percentage of left handed con
siderably."
After pointing out that the gibbon
and orangoutang are as a rule right t
handed and the gorilla and chlmpan- (
ree left handed the speaker decided |
there was no evidence at all that a (
left handed person was mentally or s
physically inferior.
