Mona Hartley and her chum, Mary Burnett. were walking in Central Park. Dhey hadn't gone there to an. mire the beauties of nature, but be cause they wanted to talk. And they liked to be In the air; they felt that they could think more clearly. "Something's simply QOT to turn up soon," said Mona. "We haven't had any luck at all lately, Mary. And our money Is getting too low lor comfort, it aeems to me!" "I know It!" eald Mary. "You're not a bit more wowled than I ajn. my dear! One thing after another that looked promising has gone wrong!" "I think I know why, too." said Mo na. "I've become a fatalist since we joined forces, Mary. And we've failed lately because we've tried to plan too carttfully. Before, when we trusted to luck, everything went splendidly!" "You may be right,' said Mary, thoughtfully. "It's certainly true that we did trust to luck! We Just took what fortune brought us!" "We're bound to do things that w>ay, too," said Mona. "You and I 'believe that we're Justified, after the way the world treated us and our friends when we tried to earn an honest living— we've planned our campaign and these unscrupulous men shall pay the cost ot "But what I was going to say was that most people wouldn't admit that It was ever rLght to—well, to mislead people, as we certainly have done sometimes! Ana, If we're going to do that sort of thing, we can't expect to make our plans ahead, the way a couple of girls might do under ordi nary circumstances who were going Into some perfectly respectable and perfectly studied business would." "There's one thing sure," said Mary. "We can't be any worse off! So if ws Just sit still and wait for something to turn up we can't lose!" "And as you say that—!" said Mona. "I.,ook—a bench Just big enough for the pair of us—and shelterea from the road by that clump of bustieß!" "It looks like an Invitation," said Mary. "Let's sit down as you were going to suggest." But they were not alone long. A curious thing happened. A taxicab stopped near them and a young man jumped out, calling to the driver to go on ,w<hile he himself plunged across the lawn, going through the bushes. Plain ly, he wanted to escape observation. But he was not quite quick enough, for from another and pursuing taxicab, a woman Jumped, as It stopped. She had seen him, and now she followed him. calling his name as she ran: "Jimmyt Oh, Jimmy!" Mona and Mary looked at one another. This was curious—whethetr there was a chance that it might lead to something interesting for them only time could tell. And time. It proved, did not mean to keep them waiting long. The young man, seeing himself cornered, turned, and met his fair pursuer—she was a remarkably good looking woman, i though of an ordinary type—with as good a grace as he could muster. And then she led him straight to a bench that was only removed from the one where Mona and Mary sat by a few bushes—although the occupants" of one bench were invisible from the other. Mona and Mary could hear, however, even if they could not see. And what they heard was an impassioned plea from the woman to the man, begging him not to abandon her, saying aha could not live without 'him! "Edith—what's the use?" he said. "I'm awfully sorry—'but If I don't care any more it would be silly for me to pretend I did, wouldn't it? Theire'g nothing I can do—you're as rich as I am, I suppose, or I might " She cried out furiously at that. But [ she renewed her pleading—until, at last: "Oh, you'll pay, Jimmy Harras ford!" she cried. "Some day you'll love a woman, as so many of us have loved you—and *»he won't care! Then you'll know " "So that's his beastly name, is it?" j said Mary, in a whisper. She wrote it ■ down at once In a little notebook she canrled, and her eyes sparkled as she saw Mona nod. "You never can tell!" she said. Harrasford was trying hard to get away, but the woman clung to him per sistently. She was becoming hysteri cal, and at last, with a calm and cyni cal brutality, he called a passing po liceman. "Can't you save me from this an noyance, officer?" he asked. The woman Shrank away then—(he had accomplished his purpose at last! Mona and Mary looked at one an other. "YES!" said! Mona. "Oh, Td love to punish him! The brute! Even if there wasn't a chance far us to get anything out of him—and I really believe there Is." "So do I." said Mary. We'll look him up. at least. He's worth that much trotfble." "Heavens!" said Mary, later, when she had found a copy of "Who's Who" In their apartment. ".Tames Schoolcraft ] Harrasford! There's a town named for him—and he's worth millions, actual millions! He liolongs to all sorts of clubs! Fair game!" "Tally-'ho!" oried Mona. "Our luck j haw turned."

A MIGHTY BUDDHIST STATUE FOR .TAPANI It is now over six centuries, says the ! Kobe Chronicle, since Xichiren Shonin founded the Hokke sect of Buddhism in Japan, and with a view to perpetu ating his memory Takami Jiyei. a well known Buddhist, some time ago conceived the project of erecting a tre-, mendous monument to Nlchiren. His attention was drawn to the prodigious rock, popularly known as "Thirty three ken (198 feet) Rock," on an islet called the Ushigakubl Shlma, about a mile and a half off Unl, In the Inland I Sea. The Islet is owned by Mr. Nlshlo, a very rich resident of Okayama, who gratuitously placed the whole of It at the disposal of Mr. Takami. This en terprising Buddhist intends to have the colossal rock hewn Into an image of Nichiren, which would then form one of the largest figures of the kind in the world. The plan Is supported by many dis tinguished Japanese, including Ad miral Togo. Takeuchi Kyuicht, an expt In the Imperial Household service, was ap pointed to supervise the work. Ac cording lo his investigations, the rock on Ushigakubi Shlma. though popu larly called Thirty-three ken Rock." stands over forty-four ken (264 feet), and is of perfect granite throughout. The Image, when completed will be 240 feet high; the face will measure .18 feet by SI feet, the eyes being 6 feet long, the nose 8.3 feet, the lips 7.5, feet, and the ears 14 feet, while the hands wil! measure 26 feet. The cost of this prodigious image is esti mated at $90,000.
