Too late she discov ers ho Is a penniless adventurer living by his wits. Roth dies in Swltserland. Linda continues to live like a woman of wealth. The senator supplies her with money, keeping up the fiction that her stock Is yielding It. On a trip she meets Brian Antsey. CHAPTER III—Continued They talked about everything but the weather, which proved at once that they were unusual people. Linda discovered at once that her companion was from Oregon; that he was going to Washington and would be there for a month or two. She discovered other things—charming things about him. That he liked dogs better than auto mobiles, and the morning before seven o'clock; that he preferred simple flow ers and the mountains to the sea. It began to grow cold in the coach. Outside was a dense wall of white ness, and by straining necks dim glimpses of shapeless things might be had—a house buried under snow or the twisted form of a tree, grotesquely burgeoning. Passengers huddled in wraps and rugs, and their grumbles grew louder as the air became staler. “Would you like to walk a little?" Brian asked, and Linda assented eagerly. But as they were starting he made her return to her section. “You can’t go into snow dressed like that” He was looking so sternly at her slim, suede clad feet that Linda broke into gay laughter. He laughed with her, and this put them on an in formal basis. He turned to bis own section and unbuckled a bag, return ing presently with a pair of dark red morocco slippers and a couple of scarfs. Linda put out her little feet and allowed him to fasten the moc casins upon them with a few efficient swirls of the scarves. “You tie beautiful knots," she said, "but it is a shame to spoil your nice scarf—that blue one especially.” She was surprised at her own docil ity. A cup of hot tea and two or three pillows would have been more to her taste, but there she was, stum bling along through the snow with her feet done up like bundles. “If we keep to the beaten path it will be easier, I think," he said, and she followed, half laughing, half an noyed, at her own clumsy progress. The prospect outside was not very good. People were running about help lessly giving advice that nobody heard, but the train crew was taking It very easily; they knew that human power could do little against the tremendous force of nature that opposed them. The snow, banked higher than the en gine, resisted every effort to pene trate It. There was something aloofly contemptuous about that Impassivity. The great black bulk of machinery, so devastating in its flights, stood ap palled, like a shiny beetle drawing In Its claws. Brian Anstey talked to the train men. They answered courteously, not Ignoring him as they had some of the others. Linda heard all that was said. The train could not move until the snow plows came, and that might not be until the following day, for the storm had been worse farther along the line and there were other tie-ups. Linda’s teeth were already chatter ing, and the terrible cold found and seized upon her body beneath her furs. At that moment her spirit was low, indeed. The delay would disarrange her plans hopelessly, The chances of a month at Miami, delightfully cared for by the Gregsons, was gone glim mering. She tried to adjust her mind to this misfortune, but her thoughts refused to coagulate. Physical dis comfort dwarfed all her mental proc esses. “How stupid I am,” she thought angrily. “I’ve been In worse predica ments than this. Some way will be found.” But still she felt like a deso late*! child. The strange young man with the kind eyes was speaking to her, “Pvt secured a place for you on the sledge,' he said. "We must go back and get your hand luggage." He spoke in th< same quiet, sure way that had accom fished the morocco slippers and again she yielded to his suggestion. But when she was settled in the ungainly conveyance with half a dosen women, all whimpering, she found that Brian Anstey was going, too. He stood on the step and talked to the driver, occasionally Jumping off to help shovel snow when the horses floundered Into deeper drifts. Linda found watching him irresist BEST MUSIC FOR HER ible.

As he helped her from her seat, she asked him why he had come, and his answer brought swift, unexpected color to her face. “To look after you, of course.” He spoke so simply that she was ashamed of her subterfuge. The hotel was as crude as the Ne braska snowfall. "You have been so kind—you will dine with me?" she murmured at the foot of the stairs. He laughed. "I’d love to, only it will be supper In this place. There will be ham and eggs and four kinds of bread and I hope you won't be ill from the experience."

Garstang said Palestine since the war had witnessed an un paralleled activity In archeological Investigation, and the results threw light particularly upon the period of Joshua and the Judges, says the San Francisco Chronicle. All the archeological and literary evidence pointed toward the win« date in the middle of the Inte Bronco age, and about 1400 B. C., ns the starting point of the history of Israel in Canaan. Upon this basis the his torical details and topographical al lusions In the old sources of the Book of Joshua were found to ac cord with the material results of In vestigation; while the fragmentary picture of Israel's position under the Judges was found to tit adequately into the frame provided by Egyptian chronology and to correspond closely In certain details with the record of Egyptian relations with the Land of Canaan. There was no reason to doubt that the traditions embodied In the old documentary sources of both books were founded on facts. * Death Ends Lifelong Vigil With the death of Miss Isabella Henry at the age of eighty years has been revealed her broken romance.
