Oriole. It could not be done. It was a trying time for “the fam ily." Great-aunt Carrie said that she had the “worst afternoon of any of ’em,” because young .Newland Saun ders came to her house at two and did not leave until five; all the time count ing over, one by one, the hours he’d spent with Julia since she was seven teen and turned out, unfortunately, to be a Beauty. Newland had not re strained himself, • Aunt Carrie said, and long before he left she wished Jnlla had never been born—and as for Herbert llIIngs\yorth Atwater, Junior, the only thing to do with him was to send him to some strict mili tary school. Florence’s father telephoned to her mother from downtown at three, and said that Mr. George Plum and the ardent vocalist, Clalrdyce, two of the suitors, had Just left his office. They had not called In company, however, but coincidentally; and each had a copy of the North End Daily Oriole, already somewhat worn with folding and unfolding. Mr. Clairdyce’s condi tion was one of deSperate calm, Flor ence’s father said, but Mr. Plum’s agi tation left him rather unpresentable for the street, though he had finally gone forth with his hair Just as he had rumpled It, and with his hat in his hand. They wished the truth, they said: Was it true or was It not true? Mr. Atwater had told them that he feared Julia was indeed engaged, though he knew nothing of her fiance’s previous marriage or mar riages, or of the number of his previous children. They had respond ed that they cared nothing about that. This man Crum’s record was a matter of Indifference to them. All they wanted to know was whether Julia was engaged or not—and she was! “The odd thing to me,” Mr. Atwater continued, to his wife, “is where on earth Herbert could have got his story about this Crum’s being a widower, or divorced, and with all these children. Do you know If Julia’s Written any of the family about these things and they haven’t told the rest of us?” r«o, saiu airs. Atwater, "lm sure she hasn’t. Every letter she’s written, to any of us has passed all through the family, and I know I’ve seen every one of ’em. She’s never said anything about him at all, except that he was a lawyer. I’m sure I can’t Imagine where Herbert got his awful Informa tion ; I never thought he was the kind of boy to just make up unpleasant things.” Florence, sitting quietly In a chair nearby, with a copy of “Sesame and Lilies” in her lap, listened to her mother’s side of this conversation with an expression of Impersonal in terest ; and if she t^ould have realized how completely her parents had for gotten (naturally enough) the details of their first rambling discussion of Julia’s engagement, she might have felt as little alnrm as she showed. “Well,” said Mr. Atwater, “I'm glad It Isn’t our branch of the family that’s responsible. That’s a comfort, any how, especially as people are reading copies of Herbert’s manifesto all up and down the town, my clerk says. He tells me that over at the Cole com pany, where young Murdock Hawes Is cashier, they only got hold of one copy, but typewrote It and multlgraphed It, and some of ’em have already learned it by heart to recite to poor young Hawes. He’s the one who sent Julia the three five-pound boxes of choco lates all at the same time, you re member.” “Yes,” Mrs. Atwater sighed. “Poor thing 1” “Florence Is out among the family, I suppose?” he Inquired. “No; she’s right here. .She’s Just started to read Ruskin this afternoon. She says she’s going to begin and read all of him straight through. That's very nice, don’t you think?" He seemed to muse before replying. "I think that’s very nice, at her age especially," Mrs. Atwater qrged. “Don’t youT “Ye—es! Oh, yes! At least, I sup pose so. ‘ Ah—you don’t think—of course she hasn't had anything at .all lo do with this?" ‘ .v-ll- ’ > “Well, I don't Bee how she could. You know Aunt Fanny told us how Herbert decided before them all, only last Sunday* njght, that Florence should never have one thing to do with his printing-press, and said they wouldn't even let her come near it.” “Yes, that’s a fact. I’m glad Her bert made It So clear that she can't be Implicated.* I suppose the family are all pretty well down on Unde Jo seph?” ,■ » “Uncle Joseph , Is being greatly blamed,” said Mrs. Atwater primly. “He really ought to have known better than to put such an1 Instrument Into the hands of a boy of tliat age. Of course It simply encouraged him to print all kinds of things. We none of us think Uncle. Joseph ever dreamed that Herbert would publish anything like this, and of course Uncle Joseph says himself he never dreamed such a thing; he’s said so time and time again, all afternoon. But ,of course' he’s greatly blamed.” “I suppose there’ve been quite a good many of ’em over there blaming him?” her husband Inquired. - “Yes—until he telephoned to a garage and hired a car and went for a drive. He said he had plenty of money with him and didn’t know when he’d be back." “Serves him right,” said Mr. Atwa ter. “Does anybody know where Herbert Is?” . “Not yet.” “Well—” and he returned to a for mer theme. ; “I am glad we aren't im plicated. Florence is right there with you, Is she?” “Yes,” she said. “She’s right here, reading. You aren’t worried about her, are you?” she added. “Oh, no; I’m sure It’s all right. I only thought—” “Only thought what?’' “Well, It did strike me as curious,” said Mr. Atwater; “especially after Aunt Fanny’s telling us how Herbert declared Florence could never have a single thing to do with his paper again—” “Well?” “Well, here's her poem right at the top of It and a very friendly item about her history mark of last June. Il |RV(W “Well," Said Mr. Atwater, "I'm Glad It Isn’t Our Branch'Of the Family That’s Responsible." It doesn’t seem like Herbert to be so complimentary to Florence, all of a sudden. Just struck me as rather cu rious; that’s all.” “Why, yes,” said Mrs. Atwater, “It does seem a little odd—when you think of It” “Have you asked Florence If she had anything to do with getting out this week’s Oriole?” “Why, no; It never occurred to ine, especially atter what Aunt Fanny told us,” said Mrs. Atwater. "I’ll ask her now.” But she was obliged, to postpone the intended question. “Sesame and Lilies” lay sweetly In the chair that Florence had occupied, but Florence herself had gone somewhere else. She had gone for a long, long ram ble; and pedestrians who encountered her, and took note of her expression, were Interested; and, as they went on their way, several of them Interrupted the course of their meditations to say to themselves that she was the most thoughtful-looking young girl they had ever seen. There was a touch of wist fulness about her, too; as of one whose benevolence must renounce all hope of comprehension and reward. Florence, in fact, had about reached the conclusion that far from the likeli hood of her receiving praise for her thoughtful circulation of the news concerning her aunt Julia, tnere was a strong probability that dire results, wordy and otherwise, would ensue. Hence her extreme thoughtfulness. Among those who observed Jier un usual expression was a gentleman of grdat dimensions disposed in a closed automobile that labored through mud holes in an unpaved outsklrt of the town, fie rapped upon the glass la front of him, to get the driver’s atten tion, and a. moment later the car drew up beside Florence, as she stood In deep reverie at. the Intersection of two roads. /•'" "■£ f,: fij ■>.. Uncle Joseph opened the door and took his cigar from his mouth. "Get In, Florence,” he said. “I’ll take you for a ride.” She started violently; whereupon he restpred the cigar to his mouth, puffed upon it, breathing heavily the while, as was his wont; and added: "I’m not going home. I’m out for a nicelong ride. Get in.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) cold' in highest altitudes Why Volume of Heat Decreases as . One Leaves the Immediate Sur face of the Earth. You would have thought that the nearer you get to the sun, the warmer the temperature becomes, wouldn’t you? But this is by no means the case, for It Is much colder closer to the sun when the latter Is shining its brightest than it Is on the earth. This is proved by the fact that the highest mountainsi even In tropical countries, »re perpetually Snow capped. Were the air there even of the same temperature as that »of the plains beneath, the snow would soon disappear. You know, too, that the higher an airman flies the more warmly clad he must be If he is not to suffer from cold. The reason for this strange phe nomenon is that the rays of sunshine pierce through the upper layers of the atmosphere, which offer very little resistance to them. The earth, on the other hand, being more solid, cannot be penetrated, so easily, with the re sult that we get the full effect of the warmth, both as the rays strike the earth and as they rebound from It.

The Were-Wolf Legend. Were-wolf Is a man transformed Into a wolf. The belief in the transforma tion of men into wolves or other beasts of prey ha 3 been very widely diffused, and in many of the rural districts of France the “loup-garou” Is still an ob ject of dread. A man who is thus transformed, or transforms himself, was believed to become possessed of all the powers and appetites of a wolf In addition to bis own, and to have a remarkable appetite for human flesh. In the Fifteenth century the belief in were-wolvea was, throughout the con tinent of Europe, as general as the belief In witches, which It had then come to resemble In many respects. In Great Britt in, where wolves had early been exterminated, the were-wolf was only known by rumors coming from abroad. Important. Archeological Finds. According to cable advices to the Greek legation at VVashington, news paper correspondents with the Greek troops commented bn Important arch eological discoveries made by the Greeks In their march through Asia Minor. Many of tie tombs dating from the' Greek and Roman epochs had been demolished by the Turks, it was stated, who used the stones for construction work. In the ancient cemetery near Kutnia columns of blue marble were discovered, which were part of a great bitllding dating from the Roman period. The army brought home many tablets and inscriptions picked up on the march. * .
