Duane arranged to have a wrecking crew sent out to his roadster, and bartered a touring cur and a chauf feur for the trip Into New York.

She hud been rushed from adventure to adventure of soul and body. She had been Invited to enter a career of gorgeous sin, and slie bad been vvept along the edge of n fearful disaster. Mrs. Chlvvls met Daphne at the door. Her recent affection had turned again to scorn, and she glowered at Daphne, who crept to her room In hopeless acceptance of the role of ad venturess. Tired as she was she could not sleep. The clangor of the morning called her to the window. A gray day broke on a weary town. The prob lem of debt and food and new clothes dawned again. Everything was gray before ber. v Isdom whispered her to take Duane at his word and try the great adventure.

Leila was Just Informing Rayard that the butcher had delivered the morning's order no farther than the freight elevator, and Instructed his boy to send the meat up only after the money came down. Rayard had no money and the cha grin of bis situation was bitter. He snarled at Lei I a : "Tell the cub to take the meat back and eat It himself. Then I'll go over and butcher the butcher." Leila dismissed the boy - with show of Indignation, Then she came back and aula, "And now we have no meat to ent." Bayard was reduced to pltlloaophy, the last resort of the desperate "Well, the vegetarians auy we ought never to eat meat, anyway. We're poor, but, my Lord I we're In grand company.

After the meal Rayard shrugged Into his overcoat and left without kissing his wife or his sister eoodby. Daphne and Leila went out to the kitchen, set the dishes In the pan, and the pan under the faucet. Leila turned on the hot water. Daphne was glad to be at work. "There's one good thing about a small meal," she chirped, "It makes less dishes to wash." Then, with as much trepidation as If she bad been the accused Instead of the accuser she faltered: "Oh, say, Leila, do you re member a mnn named Wetherell?" Leila dropped a plate.

She tried to be casual about It but Rayard caught fire at once. He was already In a state of tindery Irritability, and Itiphne's efforts to reassure him as to Leila's Innocence of any guile only angered him the more. He kept leaning out of the window and staring down Into the street Finally, espying Leila In Wetherell's car when It eppronrhed the apartment bouse, be dashed to the elevator and met the two, at the curb.

The earliest known mention of dgars la In a book published In 1740 nnder the title of "Distresses and Adventures of John Cockburn.' It appears that Cockburn was cast on a desert Islsnd In the Ray of Honduras, from which he swam to the mainland, and thence traveled afoot to Porto Rello, a distance of 2.000 mllea. II ere he met some friars who gave blm some "aeegars" te smoke. "These," be says, "are some leaves of tobacco rolled up la some manner that Serves both as pipe and tbe tobacco Itself." Though this la the earliest date at which cigars appear to be mentioned by that name, so fsr back as 1499 two soldiers snt by Columbus to explore Cuba told their companions on I heir return bow tbe nattvee carried In their moutha a lighted flrehraod made from the leaves of a certain herb, rolled up la ma lie leaves. Tbe description of aa Indian method of smoking given by IJooel Wsfer, la bis "Trsvels tn the Isthmus of rarlen," In KSW, shows that they then amoked cigars made Just as we make them now.
