"It sounds like an explosive mixture. Aren't you afraid you may blow up? I believe you're sorry for yourself." "Sorrow is not in me," he retorted. "I don't know the emotion." "Not even when you make mistakes?" "I never make them. A mistake is what a fool does to an opportunity. All that I have lacked until now is a real opportunity." Mrs. Harding's voice came through the guesthouse window sharply impatient: 'Xynn! Lynn! Where are you?" "All right Aunty. I'm coming." f -- It. t Experienced tyranny knows countless ways of compelling submission. Aunty groaned on a sumptuous bed: "No, don't let me trouble you. Don't let me be a nuisance. I am sure that the cares of a palace must be more than enough. You must try to forget my existence. Lynn can look after me." Lynn's eyes met the Maharanee's deep unto deep. The Maharanee looked rather like a New York East-sid- e Jewess who has risen through the ruck of immigration to the ranks of affluence and prestige. matronly, kind, but aware that the world Is full of pitfalls: aware that the world needs kindness, but can misinterpret and cruelly resent good intentions. She had the genius, gentleness, iron. She had also a will that no Deborah Harding could bully to obedience. Lynn undid a necklace from the palace heirlooms, and handed it to the Maharanee. She began to remove a bracelet but the complicated fastening prevented. She held out her wrist "Please. I must get into some clothes that Aunty thinks respecta ble and stay with her." The mild, plump Maharanee countered with surprising firmness: "Darling, we will expect you to dinner. Yes, I will take the jewelry because it must be returned to the Keeper of the Jewels. I will choose two women from my own attendants who shall take care of Mrs. Harding. She almost flounced out, giving Aunty no time to reply. There was of the silence until the drum-bea- t horses' hooves died away along the drive in the direction of the palace. Then Aunty spoke: "This comes of making social concessions. I never heard of such audacity. Did you hear her speak to me as if I were a servant or a charity patient? Go and take off that immodest costume. It suggests ball in a bad house. a fancy-dres- s "Aunty, the doctor has promised to return with something to relieve the pain, so that you will get some sleep." "Sleep! While you are doing what in the palace? Do you think I am deaf, blind? Do you think I have forgotten your flirting on board ship and in hotels until I blushed for you? I heard you, through the window, talking to Prince Rundhia." "Aunty, I think I hate you. It makes me feel mean and ungrateful. I would so much rather love you." "I have left off hoping to be loved," said Aunty. "I demand your respect That may teach you to respect yourself and so merit the respect of your equals. Love? Gratitude? Illusions!

Lynn stared at her own reflection in the mirror, not quite liking it She smiled at herself, just to see what the smile would look like. The Maharanee returned from the palace, excited, fawned on by four women. Two meek followed her with baskets of provisions. Lynn ran to greet her. The Maharanee almost squealed at the sight of Lynn in black pajamas with her golden hair massed in becoming contrast "Wonderful! But no, that won't do! Yes it will, yes it will! I forget I am so excited. I forget! We are to have an informal supper party at the palace, instead of dinner truly, a truly unconventional modern picnic!" "Oh, my God!" said Aunty. But the Maharanee could be as deaf as Fate when it pleased her to be. She continued, almost breathless: "His Highness my husband" (she always spoke of the Maharajah as ' His Highness my husband) "has heard that Captain Norwood is in Kadur. Captain Norwood is a Royal Engineer. He is said to be a man of great attainments. His Highness my husband is very eager to be pleasant to him." "Engineer?" said Aunty. "Yes, he is to make a survey of the Kadur River. It would not be etiquette to notice him until after he makes his formal call, which he should do tomorrow. However, I persuaded His Highness my husband, who is a very conventional man, but now and then he listens to me." She turned to Aunty: "We are so, so sorry, Mrs. Harding, that you can't be with us." "I will spare you that regret" she answered. "I will be there. You have a rickshaw? Your women can help me to dress, I don't doubt Lynn and I will be leaving as soon as I am fit to travel A last supper in your palace will be something to remember." "Oh, how gracious of you," said the Maharanee. "But are you quite sure " The Bengali doctor appeared, cautious, with a bedside confidential air that did not however, prevent the Maharanee from instinctively veiling her face. "Mrs. Harding, I have a little pel-e- t for you, just one little pellet prepared specially." "Thank you, I don't take pellets." The doctor hesitated. The Maharanee spoke through her veil: "Mrs. Harding is coming to supper at the palace." "Oh?" said the doctor. "Well, perhaps she will take the medicine at supper. Shall I send it by a l servant? She should take it with a little piece of bread or with a glass of water." "Thank you, you needn't trouble," said Mrs. Harding. "I need no medicine." "Come, Lynn." The Maharanee could hardly wait while Lynn looked for a wrap. "So long. Aunty. See you later." "Does she never consult an astrologer?" the Maharanee asked. Lynn laughed: "She did once and only once!" "But you? You believe in them?" "I think the answer is no. I know so little about them practically nothing. But aren't they charlatans? I've always been told that they are." "Oh, many of them are," the Maharanee admitted. "There are charlatans in all professions. We have a very good court astrologer. I will order him to cast your horoscope. In fact I have already consulted him about it." "What fun! But please do keep it secret from Aunty. She would have conniption fits." men-servan- ts (TO BE CONTINUED) No Explanation Offered for Planet Mystery Astronomers of the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries spent some 40 years disproving the discovery of a new planet between Mercury and the sun, writes Dr. Heber D. Curtis, director of the University of Michigan observatories, in an article in the Michigan Alumnus Quarterly Review. During the total eclipse of 1878, says Dr. Curtis, two bright, starlike objects near the sun were observed by Michigan's Prof. James Craig Watson, one of America's leading astronomers and, according l, to former President James B. the most brilliant man ever graduated from the University of Michigan. The existence of a planet inside the orbit of Mercury had long been predicted by theoretical astronomers, he writes, although the Watbody had never been seen. son's observations, therefore, he says, were heralded as the discov ery of a new member of our planetary family. Confirming Watson's obdiscovery, he adds, were the servations of Prof. Lewis Swift, who saw one of the bodies only a few seconds later than Watson during the same eclipse. Not until the observations of the An-gel- oth-ise- I IS total eclipse of 1918 did scientists give up Watson's discovery as a mistake, although no one had ever been able again to observe either of his two intramercurial bodies. During each eclipse from 1878 until that time, astronomers set up and ran intramercurial cameras in the search for Vulcan, as the "theoretical" planet had been named. "These famous observations of Watson's," Dr. Curtis asserts, "defy any satisfactory explanation. Perhaps as probable a theory as any is that he saw a moderately bright comet with an almost stellar nucleus." The relative strong illumination of the sky background, he explains, would have prevented the detection of a tail, while the failure of astronomers to find the comet after it had left the immediate vicinity of the sun is explained by the fact that all comets enormously decrease in brilliance as they leave Jhe sun, and a small one observed near the sun might never be seen again because its light would diminish by hundreds of times within a short time. While this theory may explain one of Watson's intramercurial objects, says Dr. Curtis, no explanation has been offered fof the othe- - in Tough Spot 'V;; I .
