The collection of mail for the familly was still in my hands. Seeing my guest with mc, the otheri nad waited my convenience with a courtesy thtt spelled unusual self-restraint, f hastened to the rear of the grounds where the cahjtti were, made my apologies, distributed the mail and retired to my own veranda with the epistlet for our immediate household, Dicky's professional mail, the letter from Alice Holcombe which I had read at the posoffice and the biggest and thickest of all, the missive ironj Dicky't mother. Mother Graham invaiiaoly writes three lettert, one to Dicky, one to mc and one to Junior, inclosm each in a small envelope, suitably addressed, adds a collection of picture postals for Junior, then puis them e.II to gether in a big manuscript envelope addressed to Dicky. She has some intricate system of reckoning by .which khe figures that she saves stamps by this method. I had mi compunction in opening the big en velope, even though addressed to Dicky, for his letter within was sealed. And after giving Jt'nior't letter and the cards to him. with Marion eager, to read them to him, I opened my own .letter from my mothcr-in-law, knowing that all the household news, so important to the chatelaine of a home, would be forth coming. I scanned iu first pages hastily, for my mother-in-law, like many elderly women, never gett down to the real meat of her letter until she has gone through a series of prelimi nary epistolary exercises. Thus I read again of the wonderful time Dicky's sister, Elizabeth, and her children were having at the farm thr-y fortunately were able fi keep Mother Graham from fretting during our absence beeus her heart did no; permit a mountain tojourn of the nelghborlinest of Mrs, Ticer. and the good thowing of milk and eg. made by the cow and heni. A Dittant Memory. Then after her usual invective concerning Katie's houstkeepins faultt, something which I never take seriously, knowing that Mother Gra ham only means about onc-ttntli of what the says, I read with suddenly acute interest and real dismay, these sentences: "Actually, Margaret. I t!.i..k the girl it going out of ht r mind. For nearly a week now she hn gone around looking as if the just had re ceived advance newt df the Judg ment day, and Elizabeth and 1 have to wash the good china ourselves, for she breaks almost everything shs touches. I have asked her what Is the matter several times, but she just throws her anron over her head, rockt to and fro and moans a little, then gives a sullen 'Votings and goes on about her work." Like a lightning flash my memory went back to a time long distant when Katie had acted in much the same manner as Mother Graham had described. Put that cnV. in her life had proved to have no reality save in her own fears. There was no pos sibility of any breath from that far distant experience blowing adversely upon Jicr now. With an involuntary, puzzled shake of my head I went back to my mother-in-law's letter. "But that isn't the worst of it." her screed ran on. "You know she al ways was a snooper; why you haven't ! cured her of it in all these years U j a mystery to me! But now the'i wort thao ever. I find her in the ' A . . u It... . I. .

I guess he wrote you that he had a telegram from that fool Allen Drake and started for Washington within an hours time, hut since your father's departure. Katie hat fairly haunted the vicinity of hit room. She cleaned it from top to bottom without waiting for me to tell her to, and that in itself it sus picious, for the usually isn't hunting extra work. And when she got through, the iust sat down and cried and howled like an animal, a regular hysterical fit, "Elizabeth and I thought we'd have to send for Dr. Pettit. But aft er we threw some cold water in her face she tort of came to and said the was taken with a sudden pain, but I know better. She didn't have any physical pain.

IBBP ALL STUDEBAKER CAS ARE EQUIPPED WITH COltD TIKES Romance in Origin Of Superstitions B H. L KINO. Cats' Eyes and tbt Tidt. A common superstition along; the sea-coast it that when the pupils of a cat's tytt are nearly closed it ihow t that it it low tide, while their widely opened condition tignifiet that it it high water. The journal of the American Folk-lore Society in men tioning thit superstition tayt: "In a case in which the pupilt of a cat in a Boston barber shop were nearly dosed at high water the barber, who owned the cat, explained the discrep ancy by taying 'Oh, well, he't only c kitten, anyhow and couldn't be ex pected to know the tide like an old cat.' " The connection between the moon goddess, Isis, and the cat has been explained before in the course of thit series and the connection between Isis and the sea has also been re ferred to. t Thit inter-relationship easily explaint why the waxing and waning of th pupilt of a cat't eyes typifies the rising and the falling of the tides. The connection of Isis with the tea and her special protection ot ma riners it not a little curious at the Egyptians were not a seafaring peo ple. It may be, however, that the solution is to be found in the fact that the moon was considered as the source of moisture, the celestial fountain-head of alt earthly water. And the greatest of t' waters wk, of course, the sea. Now the fact that the moon-goddess, Lis, pif tided over the tea, and that the waning and waning of the pupilt of the moon-godde,' sacred cat follow the ruing and falling of the tides suggests a question. Was a knowl edge ff the influence of tho moon upon the tidet a part of the esoteric knowledge which the Egyptian priettt possetted and gave to the feoplc only in a mythological form? t hat long been suspected, by tome strenuously argued, that the Egypt ian myths veiled real jcientific knowledge.
