Just at this point the factory catches on fire, and the work room soon a blasing furnace. lestia refuses to escape with the other girls, and Tommy Barclay rusbes in and car- r:e-hher out, wrapped in a big roll of cloth.

I'm terribly sorry for you." “Sorrow never filled an empty heart.” “What do you want me to do?" “I want you to cherish me when you're in temper, and to kick me downstairs when you're out. I want—" “Mre. Gunsdorf, I'm not that kind of a man. If you're sorry—I'm sorry—but really now, do be reasonable. Suppose I feel the same way about somebody that you feel about me?" Tt was as If he had given her a de- talled explanation. For she cried in a grim, desperate sort of volce: “So that's it,” and turned abruptly and went back to her own room. But she had sooner passed. the threshold than she turned and exclalmed: ‘For God's sake, come quick, the house is on fire.” Tommy parted after her, und per- celved that the alcohol lamp with which she heated her curling tongs had run over and set fire to some papers in a scrap. basket. It was the work of a few seconds to subgue this inciplent con- flagration with’ water from Mrs. Guns- dorf's wash. pitcher, and when he had re- duced the paper to a wet blackencd mass, and Jblown out the aloohol lamp, he turned, and found Mrs. ing-at him. “T don't know why you are laughing,’ he sald coldly: “it might have beeu seri- ous."

Tommy took a step forward, “This is getting serious,” “what's the idea?" “Guess.” The room had two windows on the street side. Tommy turned from her in disgust and approached these. But there ware people in the street. And he knew at once that Lo be seen climbing out of Mrs. Gunsdor{'s bedroom window would excite the most unpleasant sort of com- ment. He was so.angry that it occurred to him to choke the key out of the Guns- dorf woman. He turned and lookéd her over with cold, angry eyes. “Did you eyer. hear she said; he said: that a woman than a she asked.

Presently he perceived Gunadorf with three others coming down the street, Hia face, somber and frowning, turned slowly as 't seyes followed them. He wondercd how a man like Gunsdorf would act at discovering another man in his wife's bedroom behind a locked door. “Your husband is coming home now," he sald; “hadn’t you better let me out? You've only a moment to make up your mind.” He turned slowly and faced her. She had let down her hair, so that her eyes shone at him through & mist, and she had torn open the bosom of her dress. ; July Records Now on Sale, the best list in many months.

He says: “She casts aside the rules 1 and laws of past . centuries to enjoy herself as she seen fit, assuming the eame lNberties of men, confident the world will soon accept the new conditions as they have accepted all |andvantages and progress in the past." He proceeds to say that woman s deterforating and that her moral posi- tion is much lower as well as her ideals and standards, than those of past cen- turles. But he is mistaken. Let him look back to the days of Catherine de Medicl and her “Flying Squadron.” It was ]romwnn of nearly half & hundred young women, all of “noble” birth, all beauti- ful, all educated and bright. Their work was to captivate and attract the men who were political powers in the land, to become thelr confidantes, and to report their plans and projects to Catherine de Medlel, These young women were the social leaders of their world, and it was a large world. Such an assemblage of women, whose intrigues with men of renown were mat- ters of public comment, would not be tel- erated In any soclety or land today. ‘Woman places a far higher value upon her name than she did in past centuries, In America wo are not as austere ns were our Puritan ancestors, but austerity s not & synonym for morality, nor 1ib- erality for vice.

Q~"Will you kindly explajn the causs of the gulf stream? Why Is it so warm and why has it such a powerful current?" John Drew, Lawrence, M A.~The gult stream Is caused by cur- rents, s follows: The southern equa- torial current in the Atlantic ocean splits into two divisions at Cape St Roque. One branch, the Brasil current, ia deflected south the river Plate, and branch second flows northwest towara the West Indies and mixes with water of the equa torfal current, and these two drft blocked by land in the shape of an angle, ralse the lovel of the water In the gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sea and in the whole area outsido of the West Indies. This congestion is relioved by the most rapid and voluminous current In the world The gulf stream flows from southeast to northeast. There is a wall of cold water between it and the east coast of the United State It splits, part going to the west coast of Africa and a part to the British islands, The heat from the equatorial sun is conveyed iInto northern latitudes and greatly modities the climate of north- western Hurope. Its clear-cut walls of warm water and its direction of flow within deep and much cooler water are probably determined by the contour of the ocean floor. Thus, the water forced between high hills on the bottom of the sea by pressure in deep waters of the gulf would still flow in the same genefal direction ' ‘The study of oceanic currents \s one of the most fascinating studies of modern sclence. Trade winds, the rotation of the : earth and equatorial flows of vast masses of water modify the climate of the entire earth. Quebec’s maple sugar output averages about 14,000,000 pounds per annum.
