NAMES FOR GIRLS And What They Mean ULIA s a name that is a special delight to a girl who does not like to have a nickname attached to her. The only possible nickname for Julia is Julie, which is quite as and cuphonlous, even 1If it is a little less dignified. Authorities on the origin of names have stated that the actual meaning, of the name is “downy bearded,” but many who are not obsessed with a desire for strict accuracy at any cost prefer to translate the name to mean “curly headed.” The emblem for Julia is said to be the burgundy rose and the sentiment, “simplicity and beaut: Julia is, of course, the feminine for Julius, that name which became cele- brated for all time because of Julius Caesar. There have been at least ten saints named Julia. The favorite saint of this name is generally represented with a dove flying from her lips, sym- bolical of the fact that when the saint dled in Corsica, her soul ascend- | ed to heaven in this form. Julla, the daughter of Julius Caesar, became re- nowned as the beautiful wife of Pompey the Great. Rev. Robert Herrick addressed many of his poems to an imaginary herolne named Julia, and one of the heroines of Shakespeare's “Two Gen- tlemen of Verona” is a Julla. Sheri- dan Knowles, in his book, “The Hunchback,” has a heroine also of this name. Julia was the only child of the Emperor Augustus and was born in 39 B. C. She marrfed three times, but died in poverty and dis- res: Julia Domna, the Roman empress, wus the second wife of the Emperor Severus and became famous as a dis- tinguished patroness of art and sclence. Many nationalities have different forms of Julla, most of which are attractive, vet odd. Julfana {s prob- ably the most elaborate form of the name and Jullet and Julictta are or- | namental Vvarlations of Julla. The | Itallans have Guillietta and Giulia, the British Isles, Giolla, Jellon, Jewel and Julla; the French, Glrofles and Juliette; Lettish, Jule;’ Russtan, Ju- 1ija; Hungarlan, Juli and Juliska; Pol- 1sh," Julka and Julienne. One cannot think of the name Ju- | fet without immediately calllng to mind the tragic drama of Shakes- | peare’'s “Romeo and Juliet." The {Bard of Avon has_another Jullet in | his “Measure for Measure,” but she 1+1s not nearly so wide known or be- loved as Juliet Capulet (the original Italian Guillietta Capellett) = of Shakespeare's greater tragedy. 1] Announce Bryn Mawr Scholarship of $300 OCAL high schools have received communications from the Wash- ington branch of the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Association stating that the association offers a competitive ma- triculation scholarship of $500 to any girl resident of the District of Co- lumbia_or any girl who has resided in the District for the last two years of her college preparatory work and is unable to meet the full charge of tuition and residence.

This I learned immediately following your entrance to this room. It cannot be denied that the encompassing move was worked out with admirable pre- cision. It was splendidly planned— splendidly executed.” o It seems a little extraordinary at— That no firearms have been dlis- charged!” Seafalcon questioned, as his visitor paused. *No, it is not extraordinary.

No, there has been no armed resistance tonight, and there will be none. You had planned to take me by surprise and you have succeeded.

You will tell me frankly whether L am right or wrong?” ane| el the Army man assented. “Very good.

HE Girl¢ Rifle Club of Eastern High School promises to besome even more popular than it has ever been before and that is saying a great deal because Eastern was the first local high school to lave a girl's rifle teum or club. When the new s-hool building is opened next Thursday with a parade and pro- gram of celebration, one of the finest rifle ranges in the country will be available Tor the use of the girls and boys of this school. There are ten targets on the range and ample equipmeat. The club already has a member- ship of thirty-five girls who have qualified and a large number of oth- ers are on the club's waiting list Florence Jarvis, a senior at thae school, is the captain. At present she has succumbed, as have so many the last few weeks, to the disease, la grippe.

TREASURER; ELIZABETH The Scarlet Tanager § A Story of Secret Servico and Diplematio Intrigne “CALIFORNIA F D. 0, FEBRUARY 2 sround at intervals of about thirty feet.” A puzzled expression crept Rennison's eyes, and he sald: “It_cannot be doubted, Chief, that you had keen eves along the’ trail, and that information reached you quickly “Not quickly enough, for the drip- ping fluld did not assume its phos- phorescent quality until it had been exposed for ten minutes to the air— and after those of our vehicles which followed you had passed on. Thus it happened that an innocent looking commercial car, bearing the name of a grocery firm, and carrying friends of yours, was speeding along a newly found fire-dotted trail, after our vigi- lance had been relaxed—after you had been admitted to this room.’” “And, having learned all this, you still permitted me to live, eh?” Renni- son murmured thoughtfully. “My boat had been destroyed and already marines were encircling me. I saw escape was impossible. But there was more—much more—for you and me to do. From the moment I into 5, 1923—PART an enemy of the brotherhood. How long you and she have been working in colluston I do not know, but it would be difficult for me to believe you have been in love .with one an- other. As she has represented, were it not for the promptness with which you, in order to save her life, drank iiquor you belleved to contain polson.” “You would have shot her had I not done #?” Rennison asked. “Assuredly,” Seafalcon answered, then he added, bitterly: “And I regret that Youn coipliance with my de- mand prevented me doing so.” ‘As you have said, time is fiving,” Rennison suggested sternly. “True,” Seafalcon agsented. “What remains to be told must be said quickly, but it is ewsential that it reach no ears other than yours, Miss Warburton's and mine. You com- mand here now, and the men below are yours. Tell them, then. it is your purpose to draw up the ladder and close the trap.” Disregarding the alarm that leap- ed into Miriam's eyes, Rennison nodded and stepped to the open trap. “Catherwood!” he called. A voice below answered sharply. “I'm going to raise the ladder and close the door,” Rennison explained. “Stand by until you hear from me again.” . This time tho response came more slowly—with an unmistakable note of reluctance. “Right, sir.” As Rennison drew up the ladder, tossed it to the floor and closed the trapdoor, Seafalcon watched him meditatively. Over the features of the brother- hood chief now came a change. His face grew whiter and a faint smile played nervously on his lips, as, sit- ting on a corner of the table, he reached for the long envelope he had and sclence were the products of no ancesters of theirs, for in their veins flows no Anglo-Saxon blood, nor do they want it, for their racial wills are set against Intermarriage with the sixty-five millions of Anglo-Sax- ons who constitute the true, unh phenated Americanism of our country. “And, ever maintalning their racial tntegrity and raclal fuiths, these un- assimilable peoples have been coming in ever-increasing numbers, with the result that they not only dominate some of the more fmportant of our industries, but have compelied ce tain of our larger citles and states and, finally, the Congress of the United States, to make obelsance t them.

Rennison exclaimed, in a tone that was indicative of won- der. astonishment and resentment. Tust that,” Seafalcon replled, re- garding the Army man impressively. nd fn the spirit in which 1 began it, you will finish it. It s the rehdbi- litation of the American republic and the restoration of that constitution which came to the American race as a heritage from the founders of their nation. .

To- morrow you willingly will grant me a place in the ranks of those martyrs who, in emulation of the example of Nathan Hale, have given their lives to the cause of American liberty.” CHAPTER XXXIX. The Man Who Piped. As Lis gaze fell from the chill eves and masterful features of the brotherhood chief, Rennison slowly thumbed some tobacco into the bowl of his pipe. The fdea had occurred to him that it was with a madman he now had to deal, but, slowly this fm- pression passed away. Glancing ut Miriam Warburton, he saw she was regarding Seafalcon in the manner of one who might be under hypnotic influence. For several moments the silence was broken only by the strik- ing of the match with which Renni- son lighted his pipe. “You would have me derstand, i quietly. taken from one of his pockets a few minutes before. The hand shook slightly and the low chuckle that issued from his lips had a metallic harshness to it. “It's all here, Rennison—the $200,- 000 you required of us—for Miss War- burton,” he said. “We'll not take the time or trouble to count it now. But | the full amount is here—two hundred | one-thousand dollar bills—crisp and | new. Standing at this table, vou might have counted them—but You| never would have got away with them, Rennison—never. For in the | class’ with ‘cooties’ rattlesnakes. | tarantulas and centipedes 1 place all | traitors to our country. All are ver- | min and should be exterminated.” | “I'm glad to hear vou say 80," tie| wondering Rennison replied, per- functorily. ‘With a’little laugh, Seafalcon tossed the envelope back ou the table, as he went o “And eo, once I had obtained from you the secret of Channing's inven- tion, I would have made short work ot you—and your confederate here. It {s fortunate for us both that all has come to pass in the manner it has_done tonight” “For us both!" Rennison exclaimed, “Ye: for, continuing to live, you hall be able to serve vour country completing the tusk I have begun. My fortune lies in rest—a long, long rest from loathesome labor.” Frowning and watching the broth- ! erhood chief intently, Rennison step- ped behind Miriam's' chair and laid a hand on one of her choulders. Again Seafaicon poured liquor into a glass and drank. “Rennison,” he began. “like all of our countrymen, you have learned, within the last vear, to realize that we are a nation of fools—Esaus, who | have been selling our political birth- ht for messes of industrial pot- | tage.

This lady, Miss War- burton, h. r entire confidence?” “Absolutely.” Rennison replied.
