The girls who were attached adored Andrey and those who were not attached hated Mariol, with the exception of Adeline Chard, the shining beauty. Adeline was kind, tender. “It's a_good thing Andrey did not select Adeline,” some one said. “It would look as if they had a corner on all the beauty in the world.” Suddenly Mariol grew grave with a gravity that deepened into sadness. Her blithe gayety was gone. Andrey began to find her less and less ac- cessible. And as she drew away from him he pursued her the more eagerly. Mrs. Clinton took the girl to task. “Darling! What makes you act so with Andrey? Has he offended you in any way? Remember that he is too widely sought to be treated lightly. Some day he will go away and not come back. And think what a lot of talk there would be. I couldn't ex- plain. Nobody would believe that my daughter had jilted him. They would say he had tired of you. Of course, that wouldn’t be true. But don’t you see, Mariol, that in our position we couldn't refute {t? You are not a beauty like Adeline mor talented like Marie, not rich like Janet. You are Just—you.” Mariol's head dropped, but she said nothing. That night when Andrey walked onto the Clintons’ porch where Ma- riol was sitting Mrs. Clinton drifted indoors and left them together. But as she passed Mariol she gave her a long look. An hour later Mariol squght her mother at an upper window. The first thing Mrs. Clinton did was to catch her daughter’s left hand. There was nothing on it. ‘Don’t, mother,” Mariol said in a 41N ‘NS MASTER'S VoicE" Gov and Heel Bocksd Carter’s Underwear E Xnter woven tired little way. “It is all over. An- drey isn’t coming any more.” “‘Mariol! I told you—-" began Mrs. Clinton. \ Mariol made a gesture. ‘‘He asked me to marry him, and I refused him. That's the truth, mother,” she said. After an agonized Clinton watled: “But nobody will believe it!" And nobody did. The girls smiled scornfully at Mariol, all but Adeline. “I know you refused him, Mariol she said. “No matter what others say, I know you did. And I believe you had a good reason.” “Yes,” sobbed Mariol, “I had a rea- son. But I don't dare tell it. Nobod:; not even mother, would believe me.” She suffered, poor little Mariol, for she had cared for him, although not to that excessive point where she could throw common sense away and marry him. And whatever her reason was she kept it buried. Andrey, the idol of Woodlawn's youth, shrugged his shouiders when he was carefully questioned. But, after all, the hurt was deep and presently he drifted away from Woodlawn, dis- appearing from its ken fqrever. And Mariol, marrying nobody, be- came the sweetest and dearest of lit- tle spinsters. Her mother, however, never felt toward her quite as she had before the episode. Indeed, only Ade- line of the shining beauty upheld her. Three years had passed when one day Mariol sald to Adeline: “I'm going to tell you why I didn't marry Andrey, Adel But you must never tell anybod “I never will,” Adeline said. “But first let me tell you what T think your reason was. You were afraid to marry him because he was too handsome.” “How did you know?"” Mariol asked. Adeline smiled quietly. “Because I always thought that way about him myself. He gloried in his beauty; it was his pride and his joy. You've seen a person flash a mir- | ror before a baby’s ey to catch his mement, Mrs. 0, attention? Well, that was what An- drey’'s beauty was—a mirror, and for that matter we were all babies. May- be he was good and brave and gener- ous, but nobody ever found it out, or cared to.

Then Mariol knew. “Adeline! You loved him—better than 1 did, better than anybody did. Oh, Adeline!” Adeline drew a long breath, “I used to wish I was plain as a potato,” she sald. “For then he might —but it is just well, Mariol, just as well.” (Copyright. 1 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1926. RUSHING AIR KEEPS BUGS FROM MOVIE CAMERAS Airplane Propeller Is Brought Into Play to Disperse Insects Seeking Spotlight. By the Assoclated Press. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., October 12.— Insects hovering in the lights used to be one of the grave problems of in- door photography of the screen. Now it vanishes with a turn of a switch.

The lights attract thousands of moths, mosquitoes and other insects, which, if left to themselves, would flutter in_the beams of light and pass to and fro before the camera.
