What Smith Tried to Do.
' Dicky'i apparent absorption in
Iirii Dun gave me the chance I
withed to fling another tiny barb at
the man named Smith, who had been
to insistent that the state troopers
put ui under arrest for the wounding
of the young trooper.
"I mean," I answered, looking him
.inuarely in the eyes, "exactly what
1 said that I would like to know
" your own whereabouts during this
evening.
I expected anything but a direct
answer to my question. That he
; would push me aside, call to the
: troop vaptain to remove me these
things I wn prepared for I only
counted on keeping his attention tin-
til I was ready to slip into the car,
'. thus preventing the scene I knew he
:" was prepared to make. But the
thing he did surprised me. He. snap
ped his fingers toward the rotund
1 little inn proprietor, and. as the man
obsequiously hurried toward him, he
said between his teeth:
"I have. been in this house since
before dark this evening, dined here.
Kronish, tell this woman when 1
r came here tonight, and how long I
"' have been here."
' "Since before dark. You dined
here," the man replied in parrot fash-
"..ion. . .
I looked around, saw that the men
carrying the unconscious troopct
hail reached the car and stepped
back with a little mocking bow to
both men.
jj- ''I congratulate you upon your
drilling. " I said audaciously, then
'turned and walked swiftly to our car.,
.."Who is to drive?" Capt. Hastings
asked, as I came up.
V "I Demand the Arrest"
' Before that glance I had had of
, Dicky and Bess Dean, I would have
deferred to him, asking if he wished
to drive. But my jangled nerves de
,' uianded the outlet of driving. Be
' sides. I had an eerie little feeling that
t there was something beneath this
!, whole attack . upon the trooper
which Lillian would wish me to in
vestigate as far as possible.
- "I will drive," I said promptly. "I
; drove the car down here."
' Behind me I heard the tense
breathing, the snarling tones of the
; man named Smith.
"Hastings, I demand the arrest of
, '. this woman." '
By the flush on the young offi
cer's 1 face I saw that Smith had
' Over-reached himself. As "great
man" of the region he had managed
, to instil a certain deference into the
mind of Hastings, but it vanished
at this blunt interference.
"Your request Is absurd, sir,"
' Hastings returned. "You have no
evidence. These peopde have rend
" ered every aid to us., They sum
; moned a physician before I got here.
1 In every way they have acted the
part of Samaritans instead of. assas
sins. Besides, we're wasting time.
Get in, please, Mrs. Grahama, I be
lieve." ,
A Threat.
He bowed to me charmingly and
courteously, and' I climbed into the
driver's seat of the car. Mr. Cos-
grove and two state troopers were

Jewel, Flower Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
; The crystal, which is today's talis-
manic and natal gem as well, is an
'. exceptionally lucky stone. It has
I the power to direct future action,
j since it is believed that those who
' aze into its depths will see future
r events transpire. In ancient times
: all lovers gazed into crystals to de
v Jermine what the future held in
; store. Today the moonstone has
; usurped that power to a large ex-
tent, but this gem is only potent
when the moon is at the full; while
; the crystal is a never failing source
of prophecy.
. Whether or not , we believe in crys-
tal-gazing today, the superstitious
among us claim that when we wear
j a crystal we are given the power to
J" direct our future life to better ad-
vantage.
. Silver is the hue prescribed by the
Orient for wear today. It is be
. lieved to bring riches.
The orchid is today's fortunate
i flower. It if a symbol of a richly
- tolorful personality, and should be
.', worn with extreme care.

WHY-
Are Our Fingers of Unequal
Length?
" While it is undoubtedly true that
"the hand of man, used as it is at
present for grasping and holding
things, is not as well fitted for its
i tmsks as if all the fingers were of
! equal lengths, it should be remem-
bered that primeval man used his
! hands as an aid in walking in fact,
; according to the theory of evolution-
tsts, hands are nothing more than
!, front feet, and the five fingers are
; the outgrowth of the five "toes."
", .This theory takes on additional
weight if we place the hand upon the
- table, with the fingers and thumb
I outspread, and note what a perfect
i support it makes for the arm (or
"leg") above it The middle finger,
flanked by the first and ring finger,
forms the central point of a perfect
tripod, while the thumb and little
finger supply the needed props
. on the other two sides. More-
over, examination of other forms
' of animal life will show that
! this "five-fingered" arrangemnt is
- practically universal even in the
-case of the horse which has devel
oped one of its fingers or toes until
; this is the only one now used, al
though the rudiments of the other
four may still be discerned. Chick
ens also appear to have less than the
; five appendages, but the embryonic
chicken formed in the shell has five
, fingers or toes on each of its limbs
enly three and a half of which are
fully formed into claws and an. equal
' number into the main portion fcf the
wing. The dog, the cat, the frog and
ether animals are also formed with
; the five-toed feet, for the exigencies
f walking demand adequate sup
port, such as is given by this ar
rangement of the "fingers."

level, and two others were perched
upon the running-boards. The seit
betide me was vacant, and I guessed
that the young captain was to take

"You young fool l" A
strftig of oaths came from Smith's
lips. "I'll , -
"You'll stand out of my way or
I'll knock you down," Hastings de
clared hotly. "I've stood about all
I care to from you. We're playing
with death listening to you. All
ready, Mrs. Graham?"
"Yes." I turned my switch,
speaking to Dicky and Bess Dean
as I did so. They had come to the
side of the car next me when I en
tered it, and I felt that they were
watching me curiously. '
"Where will you be when Mr. Cos
grove and I get back?" I asked.
"Right here," Dicky replied, "un
less they chase us out. Otherwise
we'll be strolling down the road in
the general direction of home, or
stopping at the reservoir gate. Pipe
Smith!"
He uttered the last two words in
a whisper, and I turned my head to
see Smith's face fairly distorted with
rage, his arm raised in denunciatory
protest at Hastings, who had climbed
into the car.
"So-o?" He drawled the mono
syllable interminably. "You have
forgotten your superior officer, Mr.
Hastings, I think. Be assured I
shall get into communication with
him at Kingston at once, and then
we will see where you will land!"
That he had drawn blood I saw
by the change in young Hastings'
face. But he had good stuff in him,
and his reply was like the report
of a rcvelovcr. ,
"Communicate and be damned I Par
don, Mrs. Graham. 'Let's go."
But it was no part of my plan that
Smith should make trouble at King
ston. With a swift movement I
undid the badge Lillian had given
me and held it so that Captain Hast
ings could sec it.
"Advise the gentleman to look at
that before he telephones," I said
crisply. .

Getting Acquainted,
Xot liking her neighbor on her
right, at the fair, ' Henrietta Hen
sidled up to the wire netting on the
opposite side of her pen. Peering
through it, the examined the person
whom she saw just beyond in a pen
of her own.
A very sleek hen was this, who
gave Henrietta a slight nod.
' We may as well speak, she said,
'since we re to live next to each
other for a week."
"A week!" Henrietta groaned.
"Shall I have to stay cooped up here
as long as that?"
"Yes!" said Neighbor Number 2.
"And I don't bjame you for feeling
a vnn Krrm tit. A week is n loniz
time for everybody here. . .except
me.
Henrietta Hen didn't understand
what she meant. .
"Pm going to win the first prize
with my chicks," Neighbor Number
2 announced. "Of course that's
worth waiting here a week."
'Tardon me!" Henrietta exclaimed.
"I don't see how you can win the
first prize."
"Why not?" demanded the other.
And she pressed against the wire
netting of her pen and struck her
head through it as far as she could,
as if she would have pecked Hen
rietta had she been able to.
"Because" Henrietta explained
"because the lady on the other side
of me is going to win it."
