That's about $100, isn't it?"” She rolled around to face him. A shaft of moonlight stole in through the window, up the bed, and sourounded her face ik a halo. It was troubled. “I'm sorry. I'll give you the notes in the morning.” “I told you I would pay my owr gambling debts.” + “But, Ray, you haven't the mon- é.” “IM find it—somechow. I may win it back tomorrow. 1 Barbara sighed and they lay si- lent. She was beginning to learn; that in such a mood it was useles to argue with him. She made little movement with her hand to| reach across and fouch his hair, but just then he broke the si- lence. “You and Hendersen seemed to( have a good deal to say to each| other toright.

But he did not. He lay motionless on the opposite edge of the bed. There was a noticeable space between them. It hurt Bar- bara—that space. She sighed once, twice, moie audibly the secend time. £till he made no movement and s presently, being tired out, her lids | closed over her eyes, leaving a suspiclous moisture where Le lashes curved onto her cheeks. The next day, at the return game, Ray played, if possible, even worse and this time when he rose from the table, he nad doubled his debt to the major. He gave the older man an I. O. U. payable five days from then, the day they were scheduled to leave. During tea Ray seemed presccu- pied, and Barbara noticed with a certain secret misgiving that the air of restlessness about him had increased. Afterwards he rose abruptly, an- nounced that he intended taking s stroll and left the room. Outside, he paused only to inquire the way of the butler before setting out at a quick pace in the direction of the nearest postoffice, from where, he sent off an urgent telegram mi London. s s "The hunt turned a corner anc swooped down the valley, the hounds racing ahead, the horses behind, their glossy bodies taut and quivering as they proudly bore the huntsmen, a glimmer of scarlet black capped, in the struggling morning sunshine. “we'll have him soon,’ cried Ma- jor Perkins as he pointed to where on the next rise, the fox could be seen, a brown streak. “We should be on him before he takes cover in the Hammond scrub,” eried Laring, a young fellow who had joined the house party h:he previous night. “Jove! that rs. Lowther is a splendid horsewom- an!” Barbara and Henderson shot by them. Barbara, stunning in her trim khaki riding kit with a hard felt hat crushéd down over her hair that gleamer pure copper in the sunshine, was glorying in the ex- citement of the chase.

Hugo Junkers has devised sel airplane motor which uses oil instead of benzine. This e, and more economical, and has the further advantage of not being I ly inflammable. Explosions such o frequently occur when a gaso- liné-driven plane makes an un- fortunate forced landing are be- lieved to be impossible in the case of Diesel motors. The Junkers Diesel motor al- ready is so far perfected that dura- tion flights have been undertaken with a large monoplane. Eight hours continuous flying is the rec- ord thus far achieved. How economical the use of heavy oil is may be judged by the fact hat the Diesel motor consumer 180 srammes of heavy oil per horse- Jower per hour as compared with !30 grammes for the benzine or ol driven motors. In other Prof. Junkers believes he demonstrated that a plane pped with a Diesel motor has a of action 25 per cent great- r than that of a benzine driven motor of equal strength. The problem of carrying enough always been the chief dif- y in planning lonzy flights ience aviation engineers have vinced great interest in the Diesel SHOW UNCLE ASHUR, WHERE ALLTHE PRETTY DOPE IS HID, AN’ LNCLE ASHUR'LL GIVE YoU A NICE: BIG s ¥y chilling Your grocer returns your money at our expense on Schilling coffee for any reason whatever.

Furthermore the report showed that about 35 per cent of the labor- ing class was required to toil be- {vond the legal limit of working hours daily and that it was those who worked longest that received the least.
