The first place they send iwr is

still he recognfied the fact that Prof.
Btllliter and Celestia landing a little
way from the log hut were going through
something of the kind.
Hut where was the priest? Freddie peer
ing from under the tree which hid him,
could not see any third person. Perhaps
tha priest was In the hut speaking to
them through tha open door.
Irlven by a.rurioslty which overmas
tered Ms fear of Ktlllltor, Fteddle crept
out of his hiding place and advanced over
a broad outcropping of granlta on feet
which made no sound.
The mockery of a marriage service over.
Prof. Btlllller no longer made any effort
at self-control; ha seised her In his arms,
and was himself seised by the collar and
Jerked vigorously backward.
It was so sudden anl so unexpected that
for a moment Prof. Stilllter's heart stood
still and he almost died of fright. Then,
with a kind of whining cry he tore him
self loose and faced about.
Prof. SMIlltcr was a powerful man and
Freddie was no match for him. They
clinched after an exchange of blows, and
Freddie a moment later found himself
lying flat on hi back, on a very hard
place with Prof. Stitliter sitting astride

JX)inTKKNTII EPISODE.
The sound m not reprated. Gradually
lli- pr(,reaaor's snarled Hps relaxed afld
i losrd over his teeth. Mut for sometime
loncr ha stood lleteni'ng and trying to see
into the shadows. Then ho turned to Ce
lcstla. and after a moment of silent and
icedy contemplation, spoke.
"We are going to he married," ha said.
"c nro about to enter the church." And
he followed suggestion by suggestion. It
li not quite clear why, unless he had In
Mm a streak cf that quality which causes
a cut to play with a mouse.
In Celvstla's mind rose a shadowy pic
ture of an altar, of a clergyman In a
white surplice, of candles that burned In
amirlabra, of an altar boy, of a great
bell made of flowers, hhe wan standing
Saiimi the clergyman and the altar, at
t!.r foot of the steps whk-h led to It.
Why she wss standing there sha did l.ot
know. Oh. yes, sha was going to be mar
lied, Rlie was going to marry Prof. Stilt
I.. fhe didn't know why. Khe didn't
ive him. He had made her say she did
more than once, (the had heard herself

I 'it her mind, nor her heart nor her soul
Now she was being married. Tha clergy
n nil whs aaklng her some long solemn
mention. Now she was repeating words
after 1,1m, but only with her Hps.
"1. rlentla. take"
i reddle the Ferret had never ben moie
" itled In his life. He was not very fa-
of redlining the writhing, dodging, strug
gling Ferrlt to Insensibility was not
quite enough. With his left hand clasp
ing the youth's throat. Prof. Btllllter
reached with his right for a heavy lump
of rock. There was murder In his eye.
It was the look of murder that Freddie,
who had succeeded In freeing one arm,
struck at.
Something bright and shining flashed In
tiie moonlight and there was a sound of
glass shivered to atoms and for tha
moment Prof. Rtilllter wag stone blind.
He gave a grunt of rage. And reached
Into his waistcoat pocket for the case
which ha supposed contained hi one re
maining apare "balr of glasses. As we
know the case was empty.
Unmanned by this horrible surprise, the
professor forgot his Intended victim for
a moment and Freddie selxlng the golden
opportunity, made a desperate effort to
rise, capalxed the professor, eluded the
snatch which the latter made at him
and won free.
Prof. Milliter rose slowly to his feet,
his face pale as with the anticipation of
death. Bo he stood a moment and then
In a voice that shook he called to Celcs
tla, who had remained standing In front
of the hut.
"Come here. Celeatla," he called.
Sho moved obediently toward him. But
the Kerret threw himself In her way.
Rome Instinct told Mm that these two
people must be kept apart. Celestia did
her best tp reach Btllllter, but Freddie
prevented her by force. He threw hi
skinny arms around her and dragged hor
slowly In an opposite direction.
Htllilter did not repeat the order to
"come." He merely railed to her to
"hurry." And obediently she hurried;
but In the direction which Freddie had
been forcing her to take. Khe had hur
ried a hundred feet, before Rtilllter re
alised tils mistake. He called to her to
stop, to turn back, to come to him, and
all the things she tried to do. but Fred
die would not tet her. And he forced
her fuither and further away, across the
mountalnlde and down, l'l reel Ion waa
not In his mind, only dials nee.
Prof. Stilllter's commands to Celestia
grew fainter and fainter, until at last
ihey could no longer be heard. And now
the moon had sailed Its course through
the heavens, and there wss a darkness In
ahich Freddie was almost as helpless as
the victim of hi chance blow.

,4LOVE AND FLAME GAMBLE FOTC THE MODERN BAItY GIRL."
In the far-away and long-gone days when castle and knights
were a constantly-sung note in the melody of every landscape when
oialdft bad their little world within a castle-garden and saw the great
one only over the top of a grim gray wall, or when they rode away
to the demesne of the knight, who came a-courtlng and won when
a man did all things that mattered, 'when only he won "spurs" and
answered the call' of adventure and rose to follow when Ambition
crooked a dainty finger the Woman Fame and-the slender Boy
Love traveled a different path. Each was a rover and Just as now,
but Love was a minstrel whose path lay In the halls where the women
Idled and the men came to forget. Woman was Love's own. And
man could be his also without offending Fame. Man was Fame's
own and woman she did not want. So; Fame and Love grinned at
one another amiably when their paths crossed.
But now. So changed Is woman-kind! She's climbed the grim
garden walls and gone adventuring with the men. She wins her
spurs and bruises her knees shinning up the same places that man
negotiates. She writes with htm and laughs with him, and paints
and sells real estate alongside o' him. She dreams with him and
chases the same chimeras works elbow by elbow and races knee to
knee after the same golden gain and name In electric lights that he
clutches at. But so has some mystery always touched the figure
of woman that hardly etr can she be Fame's and Lore's at once as
man has always been able to.
' So now these two Rovers, Love and Fame, have clashed. Love
tries to plant roses on Fame's barren road and Fame slashes down
Love's flowers and throws them away to wither In the sun!
The Baby-girl In her basket swings softly to her mother's voice
in the tree-top of the world. The moon is soft and the blue hase of
new things lies over them both. Who cares what she "will be."
Jaftt now she is soft and little and still drowsy from the Land of
Baby-Souls where things are dreams and dreams are wrapped tight
rnd clone like golden butterflies in their silken husks. Only a baby
with a button-nose as soft as a bltof dough (which her mother hopes
will not be like her Aunt Oalatha's), a pair of idle blue eyes, hunting
- little hands, and a blow of feathery hair that is most nothing but
sun-mist. Her mother's in love with her now only that! Her wits
are wandering in delight, and the creature for whom mother looks
ahead and plans is still asleep!
. But under the tree of the world where the Uttle girl-baby nwings
. squats these two, Fame and Love, gambling for the girl who will on
day be.
'I will give her." murmurs Fame," "a name written across the
sky, chests of gold, medals and crosses perhaps, personality, and
kow-towing wherever she wakes, even if it be among Kings! Abaca
. dab Abaraduber! Come five aces!
"I will give her," sings Love in a chant, "two arms about her,
for riches only a golden cup wherein will swim the wine of love, bit
ter, sweet, Joy unspeakable and sacrifice unending, a bouse set in a
garden, and baby-hands on her Hps. Love and home! In the name
of all the dead women who had loved! Three aces and a pair of
sixes! " NELL BRINKLEY.

Q "Please state In The Bee: In tha
dlscharjre of a fun what Is It that make
the eound? A claims It Is the explosion
that causes the noise: n claims It la
caused by the air flllins; the vacuum
caused by the explosion." Joseph r.
Dufflcen, 202 Church street New Tork.
A. In a vacuum there Is absence of
sound. Put a strtklns; clock under the
bell glsra of an air pump. It striking
will be heard. Pump out the air; aound
at once become faint, then fainter and
finally no sound can be heard, but tha
clock hammer Is seen to be striking- tha
bell.
Discharge a gun, and a large volume of
rt suddenly displace the air and makes
a highly compressed wave. Thin energy
travels to a distant ear and vibrates the
tympanum.
Sound I sensed by the personality ex
pressing in the brain by a totally un
known process. The explosion, there
fore, produces gas, which displace air
and compresses It Into a state of great
density. It expands and produce the
oscillatory effect on the membrane In
the ear. B Is In error In saying that gun
cause vacuum; it displaces air, filling
the same place with gaa to a far greater
density than the original air. The air
returns to fill this space when gas
escapes, but this return doe not make a
loud sound.

UNDECIDED.
There are no word harsh enough for
the young man who mnrrles an old
woman for her mcney. But In your In
stance you - are cold-bloodedly selfish.
81nce you lived happily for two year on
your wife's money and have now ex
bauated the supply, It Is up to you if
you have an ounce of manhood to gn
out and make a living for yourself and
the woman you have sworn to cherish
"till death do you part." If you- haven't
the grit to do that you may regard your
self as a hopeless failure.
Wife mmi Mother.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Who Is the near
est, or In other words, should a husband
take hla wife's part or his mother's?
-V. H
A good wife should try to feel like a
daughter to the mother of the man eh
loves, and the mother ought to have su

loves that Jealousy will not arlre betwen
the mother., who has made her hjy
