When Jim came home I had his tuxedo hung out and had laid on his bed a pleated white shirt, fitted "*ith studs and links. Across my chaise lounge was my dinner dress of lavender chiffon. "What's this? What's this?" asked Jim, passing his hand wear ily across his forehead. "I'd clean forgotten this was the night for us to dine at the new roof garden with Neal and Phoebikins. I'll have to buck up for the happy occasion." "Neal's party isn't till day after to-morrow." I explained. "This is a nice little home dinner. Only we two and Daisy Condon and Carl Booth. "Daisyi" repented Jim irritably. "Hate the name—ugly flaunting thing. Who are these new people, anyway?" Taking one thing at a time, I replied: "She isn't ugly and flaunting— Daisy, I mean. She's sweet and simple. Like a shy wood-nympl.. She's so quiet she even seems col orless at first. And Carl's an old friend, on the advertising staff of Haldane's. Don't you remembtr him? I was with him the night—" "Oh, old business acquaintances." interrupted Jim. "Then we won't dress. It would only embarrass 'em. He'll probably come in blue serge and a red tie. And who's your shy Violet ?" "Daisy—types at Haldane's," I re plied hesitatingly, starting to lie overwhelmed, as usual, by the Har rison social superiority. Then, disgusted at such snobbery, I con tinued in a different strain: "Jim these Haldane people were my friends before I knew you. Good friends, too. And 1 deserted them for you. Daisy told me to-day that her sister Kate —my best friend in the old days—died of influenza this winter. She wanted to see mo before she went and thev didn't know where to find me. That hurt. I'd like to make it up by being sweet to Kate's little sister." "So that's it:" Jim's eves flashed at me warmly. "You shall be god mother to Cinderella if you like, dear. And I'll help. But it would be a rotten beginning to embarrass her within an inch of her life bv all this finery. I'll wear a busi ness suit to be in keeping with TOO FAT 7 9 It is just possible that among the hundreds of over-stout ladies who have reduced 10 to 30 pounds and more, I can refer you to some in your own neighborhood who will be glad to tell you in confidence how they accomplished this result with comfort.

"Never do in the world," said Jim. I yielded to his greater social knowledge, hung away my pretty pale chiffon and got out the som bre navy blue georgette. Then Jim disappeared for his bath and shave. Presently a trim-shoul dered, slim-waisted. pongee-shirted ! figure, he reappeared to slouch | down in a chair besides my dress ing table and chat cosily while 1 I did my hair. A favorite trick of Jim's, this, and I love it even ou the occasions when his mischievous fingers pull down the soft waves of my hair just as I have pursuaded [ them into place. i "Xeal and I lunched together to ! day." he announced. "I stopped by ' for him. Nice offices they have and ! the boy stands aces high." "Then you saw Pat?" T asked wondering how Jim had treated this | ex-member of his family. "Yes. Deuce of a way with htm that fellow has. And seems to have j a pretty good business head, too. ! But he never could understand what Virginia wanted." j "Maybe you take this attitude flow because you never were more completely out of sympathy with j Virginia." I replied. "But did you , always feel this way about it?" Can't say I ever saw much a gains I , Pat, replied Jim thoughtfully. [ "And I liked him and his attitude I mighty well to-day. He stuck around just long enough to give me the glad hand, make me see how well Neal stood, say a couple of de cent things about you and Phoebe and the engagement, and then quietly removed himself." "Having to sneak out all by liini- I self while you and Neal went chum mily together," I said sympatheti ; cally. as I thrust two big shell pins i in the coils of my hair. Not alone. The Sturges gi'l was waiting for him," replied Jim. either accepting it with masculine j blindness or too completely out of I sympathy with Virginia to care. 1 He seemed much more occupied I with his next remark, "Funny thing j Neal hasn't any information about ; the old Harrison place yet. It j isn't down in the books under its j own title nor in the name of the ; Sturges Company nor listed to thc folks who bought it in. The boy is going over to the main office's this afternoon and look it up on ! their books. I've asked him to j keep it quiet until I can come along ; and make my offer." I "Big baby:" I said indulgently. | "How my Jimmie does gloat over ! the idea of flaunting his wealth ; Jn the face of the whole Sturge.s Construction Company. And how he does long for the old home," 1 added tenderly. "And how she does understand." i replied Jim affectionately, giving me a warm hug. "Now to fim.h beautifying ourselves for the field j daisy and Booth. By the way, who was with you when you met up i with them?" "\ irginia," I replied, struggling ! with a snapper and watching the j grace with which Jim slipped into his coat. "Virginia!" repeated Jim in as tonishment.

When Virginia Dalton begs my pardon for her darn, high handed insolence, I'll forgive her, and not before. And 1 guess she's as likely to come to me for forgive ness as she is to go on her knees to Pat" "Miss Condon and Mr. Booth," announced Bertha from the open doorway. "Oh, I should have been in the living room to greet them," 1 cried regretfully, and ran quickly to make up for my tardiness. In the living room I found Carl Booth, immaculate in dinner coat and white linens, and Daisy sweet, and dainty in an evening dress of yellow taffeta. To be continued.

HARRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH THE LOVE GAMBLER By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XLIL Copyright, 1919, Star Company. "Samuel Leighton's daughter surely lias a remarkable amount of ; faith In human nature," Jacob j Perry reflected as he watched Do- | siree's graceful figure pass from the large store. "She takes it for grant- j ed that everybody in her employ I or in her father's employ is lionc.-t. "Yet somebody—either her maid j or her chauffeur—stole that pen- j dant and chain. Well," with a j shrug of the shoulders "it she would rather have her faith in lui- j man nature than recover her prop erty that is her affair—not mine i —so long as down here we are ex onerated from all blame. But I j fancy her father may look at the j matter from a different viewpoint ; "Whew! She fairly bristled i when X suggested that her new ! chauffeur might have taken the I thing. If I had a pretty daughter ] I don't believe I would quite care j to have as good-looking a chap as i that young man drive her about." j Desiree walked on up Fifth ave- | nuq, her mind in too much of a i turmoil for her to think very clearly. The pendant was gone. Phe re gretted this, for it was very beau tiful, and had been a gift from at, old friend. But the loss of the pendant was not what was now I disturbing her equanimity. It was J the indubitable fact that it had been stolen, and that suspicion [ would be cast upon someone in her | employ. For, of course, the pendant had I been taken from the box while this j lay on her dressing table. Sifting the Evidence Xorah and Annie both had access to her room. As she thought of Annie she almost smiled. Annie r was too stupid and too unenterpris ing to think of opening the parcel. Moreover she was too clumsy to tic it up again as neatly as it had been tied at first. The only other person was Xorah. Carefully, Desiree went back in her mind over Xorali's failings, her dis agreeable temper, displayed for tiie first time when she spoke of Smith. She had always behaved fairly well until lately, and even with her im pertinence she was certainly honest The girl had had scores of oppor tunities to pilfer money from her DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS ill. ll li 2874- ' A VERY ATTRACTIVE COSTUME Waist 2867, Skirt 2874 This comprises waist pattern 2867 and skirt 2874.

Had either of the maids had any callers while the heads of the house were absent? Desiree thought this unlikely, bul surely none of the girls would liave brought any guests upstairs. And if they had done so any dishonest person would have taken the box and its contents. Nobody would have had the opportunity to open it, remove chain and pendant, and re wrap and tie it. Well, then, who could have had a chance to do this? She remembered that which she had tried to thrust from her memory Mr. Perry's suggestion about her chauffeur. And, as when he had voiced his suspicions, Desiree Leighton felt the blood leave her face. Her heait seemed to miss a beat, then race on faster than ever. The very idea was outrageous. Smith! She would as soon think of doubting one of her own friends. Yet what did she know about him? His Doubts Absurd Only that he had excellent ref ferences from a man who had been acquainted with him for years. Samuel Leighton had made inquiries about tlie man who had sent these references and had learned that he was a respected member of the community in which he lived. All of which proved that Jacob Perry's doubts of Smith were absurd. And Desiree iLeighton knew that these facts carried less weight with her than did br own inner feelings about her chauffeur. Something—she did not know what—assured her that he was in capable of any act that was not right and honorable. Mr. Perry had advised her to tell her father at once of the loss of the pendant. She shrank from doing this. Not because her father would he distressed. He would regret her loss—but that made little difference. What she dreaded was the chance that he might put into words the doubt expressed by the jeweler. Of course, her lather would not, after mature deliberation, suspect Smith. But ho might, just at first, say that appearances were against him that matters "looked vety queer." Perhaps she was a cowatd, but she did not want to hear her parent say that. She need not tell him about the matter just yet, anyway. She would try to do a little private detective work herself first. So, when she had reached home and had removed her hat and coal, she made occasion to speak with Annie, the chambermaid. "Annie," she said to her, "I have not secured a waitress yet. You will have to try to help us out with the waiting until I do get one. 1 will, of course, pay you something extra for this additional work. But I cannot get a regular waitress be fore next week." "Oh, that's nil right ma'am," Annie grinned. "I don't mind a bit, so long as we're not havin' com pany." "You won't be lonesome without Xorah?" Desiree questioned. Annie's grin grew broader. "In deed, no ma'am! I'm not sorry to see the last of her. She's a spiteful thing—that she is!" "Her temper is not always pleas l ant," Desiree admitted. "But she's [ a good, honest girl." "Oh, for that, ma'am, she is," Annie agreed. "If she hadn't beei. I'd never put in a week in tlie same house with her, seein' the | cross fits she'd have sometimes." But Desiree did not care to dis- I cuss Xorah's temper. Annie's state ment had conlirmed her in her faith in her ex-maid's honesty. To be continued.

SAYS HE WAS ATTACKED BY PREHISTORIC BEAST London —Baron Ivan Levey de scribes an encounter with a pre historic moa in the wilds of Xorth Island, Xew Zealand. He was at tacked, says Levey, by a fourteen | foot moa. Its color was light brown l and its body huge and bulky. Theic were no signs of wings; the legs were disproportionally massive, al most elephantine, and the three toed feet were "simply ponderous." A small head rested on a-long, os trich-like neck. The moa, says Levey, uttered a deep, booming noise. OIL SHALE DEFINED "What is oil shale? 'A' claims that, in Colorado, it is compacted ooze of a J former inland marsh. TV claims it is : bituminizeil vegetable matter and or ganic remains of fossils from prehis- | toric times, evidence of which he has seen in the mountains near De Beque, Colorado. Is there more than one variety, each of different formation? 11. 14. P. "Xew York." Oil shale defines Itself. It is a soft laminated or leaflike rock, formed by the effects of pressure and heat from deposits of clay and "rock flour," and containing more or less mineral oil. derived from some of the materials contained in the clay. In many regions, such as Southern California, the oil would appear to have come principally from the decomposition of diatoms, which are single-celled marine plants, microscopic in size, which swarmed in almost incredible numbers in the shal low sens and waters formerly cover ing regions where the shales are now found. In various parts of the world vast deposits of diatom remains exist, some times many square miles in area and as much as fifty feet thick. Ehrenberg calculated that a single cubic inch of such rock contained the remains of no less than forty thousand million of these ancient organisms. But there are many varieties of oil shale, depending for their precise com position upon the locality the geologi cal age. and the circumstances of their deposition. Some of them date back i as far as the Devonian period, which ] was earlier than the "coal age," and i during which most of New York State, j except the Adirondacks, as well as I many of the central States toward the West and Southwest, were covered by sea water. It is from these Devonian deposits that most of the oil and gas of Pennsylvania and West Virginia are derived. Even earlier than this, In the Or ) dovician period, which goes within one I step of the very beginning of geologi i cal history, oil rocks were formed, and I Professor W. J .Miller says: "The great ; oil and gas field of Ohio and Indiana i derives Its principal supply from the | Ordovician rocks, especially the Tren ] ton limestone. The oil and gas were j formed by the decomposition of the j rich organic accumlation in the lime stones." i In the Cretaceous and the Jurassic | periods, millions of years later, and i long after the "coal age." which term •is conventionally limited to the Car ! boniferous period, deposits of oil shale j were extensively formed, and It is ' possible that the decomposition of the 1 abundant animal organisms of those I times (which included the "age of the 1 great reptiles") may have added some ! thing to the store of oily material in the clays, although the diatoms and | similar minute marine plants continued, | through all these ages, to flourish most j abundantly in the waters, and probably I constituted the principal source from I which the oil was formed. In Texas ! and Louisiana the cruetaceous deposits | have been the principal source of oil j and gas. and they have served a simi -1 lar purpose in various places in the | Western United States. I Again, in the Tertiary, the last of i the great geblogic periods before the i present, oil shales were laid down in i the form of clays at the bottom of | shallow seas and other expanses of I water, and notable among the tertiary | deposits furnishing large quantities of oil are those of Southern California, although there oil is also obtained from Jurassic rocks. So. you see there is. indeed, a great variety of oil shales. The business man Is more interested in the questions of their locality, availability, produc- I tiveness, etc., while the philosophic i thinker finds pleasure and instruction j in considering the manner of their for ' motion, and contemplating the immense i lapses of time and the enormous ex pednitures of life involved in their i history.
