I forlet-ter-- got" It was impossible to tell from Lee's manner whether or not she held any resentment against him. She chatted freely and frankly as Dale's spirits drooped. He was almost on the point of making his adieus, when Mrs. Brady excused herself and retired from the room. When he was satisfied that she was out of hearing Dale drew a long breath. "Lee." he blurted, "I wanted to tell you about last night Who our guests were." "I know," she answered quietly. "Evelyn was here today. She mentioned it" "Oh I see." The admission left him floundering. "I would rather have told you myself." "I'm not sure I wouldn't have preferred it that way. But it's quite all right" "Well, you see.

After a noisy attempt to clarify the situation, Pink turned away in disgust At his next stop, fortune favored him. The door was opened by none other than Miss Abbie herself. "Here's your pan," the grateful messenger announced and thrust it at her. "Why, thank you! Did you ever hear of anything so stupid? Calling at your house Just to get that pan and then walking right off without it! You must come in and sit down a few minutes. You're tired, I know." "No thanks. Not tonight." "But my mother would so like to meet you. I've been telling her how we "Not a chance. I mean I'm in a hurry," Pink explained. So that was it Been telling her old lady. And who else? "Fine time I'd have gigglin' that one off," he told himself as he beat a hasty retreat into the darkness. In the meantime Dale had made his way to the Bradys' where Hat-tithe elderly domestic, assured him that Lee was at home. Mrs. Brady, however, was the only occupant of the living room when he entered. "Oh! It's Dale. How are you? Lee is upstairs, but she will be here presently. Please sit down." "Fine." Dale helped himself to a chair. "I suppose I should have asked Lee if it was convenient for me to calL" he began abruptly. "But I was away all afternoon and I did want to tell her how disappointed I was about last night Father had invited guests for dinner and I didn't know it" Mrs. Brady sensed the anxiety in his voice. "That was quite all right" she suggested kindly. "Lee was disappointed that you were unable to come. All of us were." Before he had time to pursue the subject further, Lee appeared from the hall. The caller's heart sank when he saw that she was wearing her coat. "Hello," was her cheerful greeting. "How are you?" "All right. I shouldn't have come ..." e, told me point-blan- k that he expected me to be on hand to help him entertain. It sounds queer, I know. But it's rather difficult to oppose him." "Please don't say any more about it Dale. I told you it was all right" "But it isn't," he insisted miserably. "I feel like a rotter. And all last evening . . ." "Now don't try to make me think you didn't have a good time," Lee laughed. "That would be too much. I thought perhaps you dropped in I heard tonight to tell me good-by- . you were going away sooner than you had planned." "Who says so? I'm leaving after the holidays. Mr. Marbletone sort of got to quizzing me last night I might have given him the impression I was ready to put on my hat and start I know I felt like it" "Just what are you going to do at the U, Dale?"

Then you won't be coming back here." There was a little note in the last that Dale was quick to detect "Lee," he told her steadily, "I should have gone away sooner. I didn't And there's Just one reason. I'll always be coming back, if you're here. Or unless you tell me I can't" "Do you remember, Dale, that I told you one day that you were funny? You are. And I think we'd better talk about something else." "Yes, I do remember." he said slowly. "Everything that happened that day. I always wilL And I'd better be going home." Dale rose to his feet hesitated uncertainly. "Lee, there's something I want to ask you first" "Yes?" She met his eyes unflinchingly. "Is is everything all right now?" "Yes." Lee smiled up at him brightly. "Everything's just right" SV Joke. WelL The fast approaching holidays brought little of pleasurable anticipation to Dale Farwell. Each time he thought of Christmas, he was conscious of a feeling of dejection that he could not shake off. It meant leaving Locust HilL Leaving home. Leaving Lee. For the first time, his departure from his father's roof carried a realization of permanency. Dale's forthcoming work at the university must be a stepping stone only. High time he was making a niche for himself, putting his education to the test In the meantime, he must devote as many hours as possible to his father and to Pink. He owed them that Hence, young Mr. Farwell became something of a recluse those last few weeks, pleading his preparations as a reason for declining invitations. There was one exception. He went to Lee's home as frequently as he could contrive an excuse. Lee had been as good as her word, so far as their outward relations were concerned. But Dale was miserably conscious that something of the old comradeship was gone. He could not define it with any degree of satisfaction. There was a vague barrier there. Lee was holding him away from her, gently but none the less firmly. Aside rora the usual home reChristmas Dale's membrances, shopping concerned itself only with a gift for Lee. Furtive prowls through department stores, a search that took him as far s New York, left him rather dismayed at the vast miscellany contrived for feminine use. "I hope you don't mind my acting as my own delivery boy," he ex plained evasively to Lee when he was fortunate enough to find her alone on the afternoon of the day before Christmas. "I had these flow ers for your mother and I wanted to be sure they got here shipshape, you know." (TO BE CONTISUED) Protection of Birds Necessary to Cope With Insects That Destroy Food, Timber Has the economic value of birds been One eminent entomologist has stated that a single pair of Colo rado beetles, our common potato bug, if allowed to breed unmolested for one season, would at the end of that period be responsible for a family running well over 60,000,000, writes Albert StolL Jr., in the Detroit News. The tussock and gypsy moth if unchecked would produce sufficient progeny wfthin ten years to destroy the foliage of every tree in America. Over 300,000 species of insects have been described and identified. The number remaining unidentified is perhaps as great. The voracity of these insect pests Edward is beyond imagination. Howe Forbush, state entomologist has stated that of Massachusetts, certain of the insects will devour in the course of a day, 200 times their original weight in food. This would be equivalent to the normal human being consuming 30,000 pounds of beef or other meat in 24 hours. Caterpillars and otner insects have been known to consume insec-tivero- leaf-eatin- g as much as 200 Medui The "Briny Toyshop' was closed for the day. Its tiny show win dow still displayed an enticing ar ray of delightful playthings, but the latch was bard down on tne door, and its little lady proprietress had retired to her favorite low rocker by a rear window facing the sea. The most persistent youtn in tne g small village rattled the door, but in vain. Hiss Matilda Bell did not even hear. There seemed more than ordi nary magic in the glowing; spell cast by the run at this close of garden day. The sloping to the rocky shore seemed a fairy place. The sea was many-huedusky, wondrous, and its melody came pleasantly to Hiss Matilda. There were dreams in Miss Matilda's eyes as she watched; not the happy, hopeful dreams of youth, but the deeper, sadder dreams of one who has lived long. Miss Matilda was so much a part of her surroundings that she had ceased to notice them in Her mind had flown back nearly 50 years, to the time when she had not the faintest thought of ever being a little, elderly, sweet-face- d lady sitting by her self in the twilight. To the time when she was a young, adventurous girl pledging her troth to a dashing young naval officer. Even now her eyes grew dim as the memories came drift' ing in on the breeze. Dream pic times their weight in food each day. The only life beyond complete control of man is that of insects How destructive their reign could be if it were not for the insect eatine birds, no one could hazard an answer. Civilization through ignorance or viciousness has made tremendous inroads upon our bird life; so much so that certain destructive insect agents of nature have played havoc with our food and timber supply. If we had held bird life a bit more sacred in the past, the control of insects would not have been as great a problem as it is with us today. The fecundity and voracity of in sects, if uncontrolled by man and his feathered allies, would within a short period spell ruin, devastation and misery to the human race. You cannot overestimate the economic value of our insectiverous birds. Built Earliest Warships From what is known of the an cient history of ships, the Phoenicians and Greeks were first to build ships of special type for war. sea-farin- ed d, de-tai- L 0 tures blotted out the garden, the rocks, the sea Itself, and Miss Matilda felt herself in the arms of her young lover, so tender, so dear And be had sailed away, full of hope and happy anticipations of the dsy when he should return to make her his wife. Miss Matilda's eyes blurred. That day had never come. There had been a lire aboard the ship and the young officer, who belonged heart and soul to Matilda Bell, had given his life for another. Years had taken away that first tragic grief, but Miss Matilda had loved too deeply to forget. How she wished she had been with him! Sometimes he seemed to speak to her in the voice of the ses, and she would say that she was coming some day soon, very soon coming to be with him. On the rocks below Miss Matilda's cottage two figures were silhouetted against the dull red sky.
