Mental science, health, theosophy and other kindred subjects came up. Miss Yaw talked diet and Krishmamurti optimism. Well, at any rate, those two dont go together, smiled Miss Yaw. At least you will have to admit that its awfully difficult to find anything nice to say about spinach. At least it has no bones in it, replied the savant instantly, with that winning smile that stamps him as human as the rest of us. Los Angeles Times. Secret Discovered London can keep a secret better than many people, but now and again old treasures of the .past are stumbled upon in unexpected hiding places. A startling discovery was made recently in Westminster abbey. Some workmen were altering the heating apparatus when, under the floor, they found the remains of a church eight centuries old. Already a fine piece of Eleventh century wall has been revealed, and it may now be possible to discover the original dimensions of the Norman nave, thus settling many an old dispute of archeologists.

It was because somebody once told me a wrong law of living. And I believed it and here I am ! She glanced around as if her surroundings had Just begun to matter. A small note of terror crept into her voice. It was like walking the narrowest path between two precipices. One slip and youre gone. That is what happened I slipped. And now nothing can ever put me back again OHara looked out of the cab window. He knew where they were to the fraction of an inch. Two blocks south and three east and around the Sleet had changed to a corner steady rain, more miserable and dangerous than the first ; turning the sidewalks and street into a sheet of ice. On a night like this the place would be full. What would they do with her a fine, soft creature whose perfume filled the musty cab like a bunch of little spring flowers? And nothing could ever put her back again. She was right about that. For there was a lot he hadnt told her. . . . There were the other women As if his thought had called into action one of the sordid epochs of such a night, at this moment from the street on the right arose a hubub of confusing sounds ; the uproar of a motor pushed beyond its will, the scream of brakes jammed at a dangerous angle and two headlights streaming in the rain. The two cars veered dangerously together. A huge black bulk beside the smaller taxi elbowed it violently and for a second the man and woman were given a glimpse of one of the etchings of hell. . . the inside of a patrol wagon Jammed to Its doors with .women. Where had they been found and why had God made them? Faces without age and without soul; bodies wrapped in sordid finery, evil as the flesh it concealed. Desperate eyes ; sodden eyes eyes that laughed ribaldly and eyes that did not care They huddled in the long black box with its iron screened sides flung there anyhow, from God knows what beginning, and Jimmy OHara saw, with the chills down . his back and the sweat under his collar, what it was going to mean to the woman beside him when she was locked in a cell that night He had time to think, all of them in there together, and to get a vision of slim white hands trying to hold the filth away The two cars careened together, almost touching the taxi driver swearing loud and plaintively; impossible to put on the brakes with the street a skating rink. The clank of slipping chains, the ceaseless vibration of his wheel confused him and the ugly Black Maria clung there like a beetle! No night for racing. The taxi driver glanced almost pleadingly at the rusher trying to crowd him into the curb and then he tried to run for it. Two ghastly cargoes bound for the same port; never to reach there. Sirens! No time to turn. Nowhere to go. 'Hurtling through emptiness, the long red shining truck dotted with clinging figures of men was upon them. One moment the terrible truck wheels were against the opposite curb and then the front ones plowed their way through a splinter of wood and glass and bodies that tumbled like rag dolls here and there upon the bitter ! pavement Two wrecked cars and a equipment slowly righting itself under the impatient guidance of men anxious to be on their way to the work of saving a few floors and walls from a threatened blaze. A policeman taking charge nodded the permission to go on. Nobodys fault, of course. Hysterical women were crying ; some of them cursing bitterly between their sobs. A curious crowd, retrieved from pool halls and third-cias- s restaurants, pressed eagerly forward. The accident was bad enough to draw them from their warm shelters. The patrol wagon rested grotesquely on two wheels and a bent axle, but the taxi was a complete disaster. Some-tod- y was wiping blood from the hook-and-ladd- a Detective Jimmy OHara opened his eyes, slowly. His mind was perfectly clear, because his bead bad not been Injured at all. The rest of him was dead, quite dead, and he had seen enough of death to know this for himself. He knew what had happened, too. The crash of Impact still lingered in his mentality. His brain was clear and as resonant as a bell which has just been rung, but his numb body was conscious of a heavy weight pulling against one shoulder. He managed to turn his eyes downward and saw a face there a dead face with dead yellow hair and spots of red paint on the cheek bones. A horrible thing to be dragging a man down. deWho was with you officer? manded the policeman, with his notebook, under his nose. Did you have a . prisoner? Jimmy OHara remembered. He remembered perfume, white hands and soft slenderness, fine as silk, lying against his shoulder for a second as the crash came. He remembered duty. He lifted his heavy eyes again and saw her like a dream standing over him, pitying, like a person too horriAnd he remembered fied to move. duty again. But what is a mans duty? Is it the tnlng he has promised other men to do, or the prompt of that Intimate stranger who sits in judgment when the body sleeps? Jimmy OHara, who all his life had done the right thing as right is accepted, beheld now a sort of white light, a highway opening beside his narrow path. Nearly everything was dead as the world calls dead about him, but this was the clearest vision he had ever known. Here she is, he said with a weak motion toward the heavy thing upon his arm, and shut his eyes for good and all.

She alone might have called to him but she would not He saw Simon, apart and taut; less than other men in stature, yet towering above them, a personality on stilts. He saw a dozen men whose names and words were making history, and saw them for the first time, as individuals who annoyed him by getting in his way. And at last he got a glimpse of the man he was looking for. Converse was paying ponderous compliments to a Brazilian lady. He seemed to admire her olive shoulders, frankly pasted with snowy shellac, more than anything in the world. His high color was undimmed; his small eyes were bland and avid as ever, yet Brian spoke to him without hesitation. Come with me, he said In a low good-lookin- g voice. Converse looked around in surprise. He was amazed to be spoken to in that manner. But when he saw Brians face he excused himself to his companion and followed. They went to the room that Brian had left a few minutes before. The atmosphere of Linda Roth still lingered there in some strange fashion as If over the thousand perfumes of the crowded rooms beyond, her own clung intangibly to the drooping fern fronds or trembled somewhere in the golden haze of shaded lamps. It forced them to admit her presence. But they were alone there and Brian could endure to see the great bulk of Converse sprawled upon the frail settee where she had rested. The faint shattering of one of the imitation pearls as it perished did not mpve him as it might have done, so far was he removed from the sentiment of little things.

He is the official harbinger, and his Cheerio! Cheerio in the treetop is our earliest prophecy of happier days and bluer skies, F. H. Collier writes, in ! the St. Louis Globe-Democra- Now, t. for many weeks our robins have been pouring into the woods of South Carolina and south Georgia and Alabama into Texas and Mississippi and Louisiana. In great contrast to their advent in our zone, they do not sing a note. It may be for this reason that our northern popular bird is not cherished there with the same earnest affection that we feel for him, although his usefulness is justly regarded. He is just another bird and they have so many rather furtive and quiet. We have watched robins flitting about in the low shrubbery near the ground in southern Mississippi in January, and from their complete silence and clandestine manner could hardly take them for the birds we know so well. Ferliaps they are overawed by the mocking bird, which is the petted warbler of the South and does not entirely suspend liis melodious arias even in midwinter. Because the robins receive no distinguished honors where they are so retiring and that they are left to their own seclusion, may account for their extreme earliness and precipitancy In coming north. They return to a land where they are given their accustomed plaudits, even poems and paragraphs, just as soon as they can. They get their names in the papers. Associating so closely with us on our lawns and in our gardens, they no doubt develop some human traits and are not indifferent to the regard with which they are received. at Cushing, Maine, a while ago, was that the couple were attended, in ad- dition to the customary bridesmaids, best man and flower girls, by.an aunt and cousin of the bride dressed in clothes of many years ago. The aunt wore a gown that came from the wardrobe of the brides Amy Gay Allen. The cousins apparel vas the clothing which the brides wore on his wedding day, July 5, 1835. The coat which the cousin wore, according to tradition, was the wedding garment of Charles Wallace, and is said to he at least one hundred and twenty-fivyears old. The coat is reported to he in remarkably good condition. Indianapolis News. great-grandfath- e Garfield Tea Was Your Grandmothers Remedy stom- For every ach and intestinal ill.
