WOMAN’S PAG THE SPIDER WOMAN BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. John Henderson marries Helena Ford without telling her that he has tired of her. When they return from their homeymoon Natalie, Helena's vounger sister. marries. On their trip to Havana John and Helena meet a charming widow, Nina Price. John shows very evident interest in her. Helena admits to Natalic that she is sure John doesn't love her, and Nata- lie advises her to fight for him if she cares enough. In an effort to hold him she degins to weave a wed about him, but it seems to do no good. In the ‘Spring after their marriage he departs on a business trip for the Coast and renews his friendship with Nina Price, who lives in Denver. Nina encourages him to make love to her. and he returns to New York, determined to ask Helena to free him Before he can say anything to her she springs a surprise on him by tell- ing lim that she no longer loves him. CHAPTER XXXIV In the Night. Little more was said that night, and as John was really very tired he went to his room. te wasn't surprised, of course,“that under the circumstances IF ONLY SHE DIDN'T LOVE HIM QUITE SO MUCH! Helena had moved all her things to the guestroom, but was irvitated, not because of t but because o the way things had happened He tried to arsue it out with him self Ho ought to be glad that it hadn't been uecessary to hurt her.

But it lize that he hadn’t “lleast, s known her as well as he had thought, and it was humiliating to know that for a long time she had cared nothing for him when he had felt all along that she loved him. In the guestroom, into which Helena had moved after she had made up her mind to take this step, she stood in the middle of the floor. All her -smooth serenity had vanished. Her face had settled into tragic lines. It had taken all the fortitude that she could summon to her command to say what she had to John. And now she was wondering if it had done any good. Of course, she had saved her pride, but, after all, was there much pride where love was concerned? She knew, too, that she didn‘t want John unless he wanted her; it was better to make a clean break. And yet, how terrible to give him up forever, per- haps to a woman like Nina Price, who didn’t deserve him. Mechanically she took off the pink and silver dress and slowly undressed. But after she had gone to bed she could not sleep. She turned on the lamp over her bed and looked on the small bed table for a book, but there was nothing there. She had left the novel she was reading in the living room. Well, she had to have it. Reading would help her to take her mind off herself. Throwing a neglige about her shoulders, she opened the door and went into the living room. She groped around on the table for her book, but could not find it. She would have to turn on a light. She moved as softly as she could, but just as she had secured her book, which she had left on the piano, John's door opened and her heart leaped. She turned to face him. He was wrapped in a blue dressing gown, one she had given him for his birthday. His hair was tousled, mak- ing him look like a small boy. If only she didn't love him quite so much! Her manner toward him gave no in- dlcation of the way she was feeling, however, for she drew her neglige more closely about her and said coolly: “Did 1 disturb you? I'm sorry. 1 had left_ my book in here and I wanted to read for a while.” “I wasn't asleep,” he said abruptly. “but 1 got to thinking about what you had told me and 1 thought we might as well have the thing out tonight, as long as you are awake.” “What more is there Helena asked evenly “A great deal. 1 may to tell you." “We can wait till tomorrow to say have a few can’t not finis won't t but why 1t we can, up tonight?

He is also the smallest bird in the world, many specles being no larger than butterflies, and, as for brilliance of plumage, the hupming bird is far and away the finest'in the world, equal of all the butterflies, moths and beetles ever found. In addition to all the other wonderful things about hum- ming birds, its wing motions are so fast that a humming bird poised above a flower does not appear to have any wings, the speed of their beating be- ing too fast for the human eye to de- tect. There are over 500 species of this bird, forming one of the very largest bird families in existence. And though the humming bird has no song, it has a tongue, a very long one, that can be shot out like an uncoiling spring, flower. Now what do you that? Answers to Yesterday's Questions. 1.
