Mrs. Gunsdorf laughed . out loud.

added. "You blessed Innocent!" '
"We ahall see." amid Tommy. He
started toward th window and stood
looking out.
Looked at from any angle he felt him
self to be In the very dvll of a predica
ment. He had outraged Mrs. Qunsdorf'e
pride, and aha would not spare herself
In order to b avenged upon him. If he
mad a plain statement of fart to-Quns-

not be believed, and furthermore hla
mind revolted against telling such a story
about any woman.
Presently ha perceived Ounsdorf with
thre others coming down the street. Hla
face, somber and frowning, turned slowly
as iM seyea followed them. H wondered
how a man lik Ounsdorf would art at
discovering another man In hla wife's
bedroom behind a locked door.
"Your huaband la coming home now,"
he aald; "hadn't you better, let me out?
You've only a moment to make up your
mind."

They heard the sound of th front door
being opened and slammed shut; and
then voices In the hall.
"Promise to be my feller," whuapered
Mrs. Ounsdorf. "and I will let you out.1
It was not easy for her to face the
scorn In Tommy'a eye. For a moment
she met his Raae, and then her eyes fell
before II, and began to glance 'stealthily
thia way and that. ,
"Don't ruin yourself," said Tommy;
"think thla thing over. Let me go now.
Tomorrow It you atlll wlen to. make a
row 1 wilt come back, you can look the

But for your own sake don't do anything
In a hurry. Take twenty-four hours to

enough todsy, won't seem good enough
tomorrow." ' ,
Her answer was a piercing scream for
help. Repeating thla scrsam again and
again she began to storm about th room,
overturning a chair and the waahatand.
Then, with an Insane swiftness for which
he was lllpropoaed, ahe flung herself
upon Tommy, struck him a heavy blow
on the mouth, rumpled his hair, and than
flung her arms round his neck and half
strangled him. All the while her screams
for help pierced through the walla of the
house.

He proceeds to
aay that woman Is
deteriorating and that her moral posi
tion is much lower aa well aa her Ideals
and standards, than those of past cen
turies. But ha la mistaken. Let him look
back to the days of Catherine de Medici
and her "Flying Squadron." It waa
composed of nearly half a hundred young
women, all of "noble" birth, all beauti
ful, ail educated and bright. Their work
waa to captivate and attract th men
who were political power In th land, to
become their confidantes, and to report
their plans and projects to Catherine de
Medici.
These young women were th social
leaders of their world, and It was a large
world.
Such an aaaemblage of women, whose
Intrigue with men of renown were mat

Q. "Will you kindly explain the causa
of the gulf stream? Why Is It so warm
and why haa It auch a powerful current?"
John Drew, Lawrenre, Maaa. ,
A. The gulf stream la caused by cur
rents, aa fnllowa: Th southern equa
torial current In the Atlantic ooean split
Into two divisions at Cape fit Rogue. On'
branch, the Braall current, ta deflected!
south to the river Plate, and branch
second flows northwest toward th West
Indlea and mixes with water of the equa
torial current, and theae two drifts,
blocked by land In the shape of an angle,
raise the lovel of the water In the gulf,
of Mexico and Caribbean sea and In the
whole area outsldn of the West Indlea.
This congestion Is rellnvsd by th most
rapid and voluminous current .In the
world.
The gulf stream flows from southeast
to northeast. There la a wall of cold
water between It and the eaat coaat of
the United Rtatea. It apltta, part going
to th west coaat of Africa and a part
to the British IsAands.
The heat from the equatorial aun la
conveyed Into northern latitudes and
greatly . modlflea th cllmat of . north
western Europe. Its clear-cut 'walla of
warm water and Its direction, of flow
within deep and much cooler water are
probably determined by th contour of
th ocean floor. Thug, th water forced
between high hills on th bottom of th -sea
by pressure In deep water of the
guir would atlll flow In the same general '
direction. .'
The study of oceanic currants Is one of
th most fascinating studies of modern
science. Trade winds, the rotation of the :
earth and equatorial flows of vast masses
of water modify the climate of th entire
earth. '
