chow's restairrant they found a flat, wide
man with a cigar in the corner of his
mouth and his narrow rimmed slouch
hat shoved on the back of his round
bead and his eyes turned contemplatively
toward the stars. '
"Certain jarty ' in. Blinky?" husked
Wolf.
, Blinky Peters followed them inside the
busy egfe, and as they walked back to
Sard the Thirteenth street entrance a
flat, wide man with his. hands in his
pockets came in at the rear door Sneaky
Travis.
'.'There's your party'" suddenly hissed
Bill Wolf and pointed to a table where a
dark .Vandyked German with spectacles
was entertaining a healthy,-' red-cheeked
young woman with a green feather In her
hat. '
,,"Yon scum!" . shrilled Honnrla Blye to
her three expert detectives and went
home to her parrot.
Ned Warner stepped Into the cigar

telephoned June's home In Byrnport. Mr.

A moment later the Muck Vandyked
man trolled In, looked at the lcglstcr
and walked Into the bar. Then along
caniei Marie with a bundle of clothes.

desk. -
"Mrs. Day's maid, T'" the clerk" observed.

from under his eyelids airti . ringing tor

ana the register all at the same time.
The young woman, quite evidently a
maid, glanced swiftly 'at the register.
"Mrs. Day's" she repeated,- breathing
heavily.
-Y-yes."
"ijShe's expecting you." And the clerk's
eyelids flickered. "Room 4."
"Marie, tell June 1 want her," cried a
voice. , .
"Sir.", aha said, "I do not know you."
"Why r" Ned atammered; -then he
grabbed the clothes from the maid's
arrrts. "Now you lead me to June."
"Sir, how dara you?" Marie said and
turned apnealtnslv to the clerk.

of Bobble. Yes, the Moores were there.
And June was located? Great! Ptanch
Bobbie was all eagerness when Ned said
he wanted the Moores and Bobbie and
Iris to come, down to the Hotel Daniel.
He also telephoned Ifonoila Blye. Her

lien parents are old and poor It Ik in
disputably the duty of their children to
support them, but It Is equally as much
the duty of the patent to support them
selves If they can.
t'nlees Incapaci
tated by age or
skknes. there Is
no earthly excuse
for a father or
mother to ait su
pinely down, with
folded hands, to be
ted or clothed by
snm hard working
son or daughter w bo
already finds It dif
ficult enough t
make a living. Old
people. Ilka young
people, are far bet
ter off for being
engaged In some
active, gainful or
cupatlon that keeps
their Interest alert
and their mlnde occupied.
Of course, men generally do go on
working as long as they are able, but
middle-aged women, when they are left
widows, have a way of knocKing on
work and going to live either with their
married children, where they are almost
always firebrands In the house, or else
of calmly settling themselves down on an
unmarried son or. daughter to be sup
ported. And mother feele ahe has a per
fect right' to do this, and that her chil
dren are a bank account that she can
draw upon at will.
This la a -vrong view of . the subject.
An active, able-bodied -woman should be
Just as much ashamed of grafting on her
children as eh would be of sponging on
anybody ele. Beeansa ahe bore and took
care of thnm when they were little ones
does not, put them under an everlasting
debt of gratitude that they ran never
repay. Mighty few. of us are called upon
to give thanks for having been born, and,
having thrift life upon us, the leaat our
parents can do Is to take care of us until
we are old enough and strong enough to
engage In the sad and losing battle of
exlstenoe on our own account.
Leivlng aside, however, the question of
duty between parents and children, there
la no fact that stares us more uncom
promisingly In the face than that father

eighty riunl parts, or degrees. On their
scale the melting point of Ice was 134
' degrees.

i CaJuri, became famous and spread all
' over Europe. When one of them came

j Fahrenheit experimented Jong in search
I of a better starting point, or pair of
; starting points, for the division of the
; scale, and this was done before he began
j to uu mercury. Finally ha selected the
temperatures of a mixture of Ice, water
and salt for his lowest point, mistaklngty
supposing that that waa ti lowest tern
ptrsture attainable, while for his uppor
poln he chose ti.e temperature of the arm
pit, or mouth of a healthy person. ' The
space between these two points he divided
into 1M equal parts.
Afterward, whsn be began to use mer
cury in the tubes, he changed hla scale
division so that there were only W de
grees between the lower, or cero, point
and . the top of the scale. Then he
adopted for the upper point the tempera
ture of boiling water, and found that
thK by using the same eyatem of di
vision, fell' at 212 degrees above sero,
while the freezing point of the water was
at 32- degrees. . Thug the selection- of
these inconvenient numbers to mark two
f the most . Important points on the
Fahrenheit scale was, virtually, a mere
accident, arising from the application of
a scale of division before those points
had been determined.
There la eome confusion among the
historians in regard to the way in which
Fahrenheit arrived at his division of the
scale. According to some. Sir Isaac
Nawton was, in a sense, responsible for
( Fahrenheit's choice, because Newton had
Invented a linseed oil thermometer whose
scale he divided Into twelve equal parts,
between the freeilng point and the nat
ural temperature of the human body.
Fahrenheit, It Is said, adopted Newton's
divisions, except that he halved their
length on tho scale, making 2t degrees
from freexlng to blood heat. Then, when
he had found his Imaginary lowest possi
ble temperature by mixing salt and anew
water, and had taken that for his aero,
ho counted t degrees up to the freezing
point, 24 degrees to blood heat and M de
grees to the boiling point. Later he di
vided hla degrees into four parts each,
thus making the temperature of freezing
32 above tero and the boiling point Zl'i
above.
Many other thermometrio scales have
been invented and several are in limited
ist, but the best of them all la the Cen
tigrade, which Is based upon the division
of the interval between the freexlng and
boiling points of water into 1U0 degrees,
and the selection of the freezing point as
the sero o the .tcslc. The originator of
this system is UHually said to have been
Andreas Celsius of Vpsala, although the
lUO-degroe dlv'alon had been used before
he adopted It. In the scientifio construc
tion of thermometers great pains are
taken, not '.only In the selection of the
glass for the tubes, and the exact forma
tion of tha boio in which the meioury
moves, but also In determining the atmo
spheric pressure at the time when the
boiling point is marked, for water does
not always boil at the same temperature,
the point riaing with Increase of atrao-
spnenc pressure and falling with de
creased pressure. This is the reason why
water bolls at a much lower tempera
ture on the summit of a lofty mountain
than in the valleys below. Prof. Tyndall
found that water boiled at the top of
