Hernando's story is sub stantially as follows: Columbus had impressed the queen with the possibility of his scheme of discovering a new way to India, and of the plausibility of his theory that the world was round. But in his offer to the court of Aragon and Castile he had specified that he would carry the Span ish flag into unknown seas only on con dition that he be made an admiral and viceroy over the countries which he might discover. This proposition to bestow such honors upon a "mad Geno ese" was contemptuously dismissed by the 'king; and Columbus left the court on his way to France and England. Won CoKiinIMon for Columbus. Shortly after his departure Ferdinand was engaged in a game of chess with Fonseca, one of his dally victims. As usual Ferdinand quickly gained the ad vantage. Then a discussion of Colum bus's proposition arose and queen Isa-r bella advanced the argument that no harm could come of promising the title of, admiral and viceroy to Columbus, for if his venture proved as foolish as It seemed there would be no land over which the Genoese could be viceroy. Ferdinand's attention was taken from the game momentarily, and Fonseca took advantage of the" royal abstraction to gain the ascendant. The king, upon realising his dilemma, was much net tled. Hernando, who was watching the' game, suddenly realized that the king's position was not so desperate as ap peared on the surface. He whispered to the queen: "If his highness play cor rectly, he wins, and Fonseca cannot outlive four moves." Isabella leaned over the king's shoulder and arrested his arm, saying: "Do you not win, my lord?" Ferdinand again studied the board and a smile dawned on his face. He saw the jiew line of attack. Fon seca was checkmated and the king was now in a hilarious mood. It was the psychological moment and the queen said: "Think you. mv lord. thpr rnn be wrong in granting this title to the uenoese "After all, little harm can come from appointing him admiral of the new seas to be navigated," was the reply. Hard ly had the words been uttered -when a messenger was riding .madly toward the Spanish border with a letter for the footsore wanderer. This letter created Christopher Columbus "Admiral of the Ocean-sea." And thus a game of chess had turned the tide and America was discovered. Tomorrow Music Teachers Associa tion.

Mrs Willard was an old frfend of "Warren's family, and on her occasional calls somehow always managed to make Helen most uncom fortable. "No not yet .we haven't finally de cided upon a name yet." "And she is how old four montns, isn't she?" "Not quite three months last Tues day." "Three months and no name why, I never heard of such a thing." "Well, we have so got into the habit of calling her just 'baby' that we haven't felt the need of any other name yet." "But the child I should think you would feel you were doing her a great injustice." Helen repressed a smile. "It doesn't seem to be distressing her." "Oh, of course, it's your child you can-do as you please. But I would feel that I had been criminally negligent in my duty as a mother,' if I had let a babv of mine come to three monthsv without a name." His Attitude About It.

""Well, what of it, it doesn't concern her, does it?" "No, but I suppose we really oughtn't to wait any longer; we should decide upon something." '"Well, that's up to you." " . Helen flushed at his curt, slangy manner. ""Why, I thought you had some interest in it." ""Who said I hadn't?" "You spoke as though" ' "I said it was up to you. and it is. Didn't you object to every name mother and father suggested. Didn't you say it was your baby and you were going to call what you pleased?" "Oh, "Warren, you know I never said such a thing." ""Well, if you didn't "say it you im plied it .po strong . that there wasn't much doubt about your meaning." "But that was your father and mother not you. I never implied anything about your, right to name our baby." "You never seemed over anxious for my help. I thought you had "half a dozen names you wanted to think over and finally decide upon." ' "I did. I wanted Genevieve or Mil dred, but somehow I don't like either of them now." The "Way He Suggested. "I should think not. I told you they I sounded like a third-rate novel." "Well, I've got a long list upstairs; shall I get it? We can go over them now." "No, I've a better way than that," He went out into the hall and returned with the telephone book. "The telephone book." "Yes, the telephone book." as he sat down and put it on the table before him. "It's the place to get a -name for every thing: why not for the baby?"
