Harmony Island
; A Love Story
By Dick Posey
(Continued from last Issued.)
Then there struck upon our ears
the whir of a motor and the next mo
ment the Queen stepped out beside
us.
"Oh Cod," moaned Rossalee, "what
shall I do?"
"The harmony of my realm has
been distruhed by an ether blast, let
me know," the Queen commanded.
I pointed to the blasted 'creature
in the clear water.
"Ah, the octopus, I see," she grunt
ed. "An evidence of the power of the
wonderful fluid we have harnessed.
Hut why, my daughter, my subject,
have you removed the sacred marks
of honored age from cheek and
brow?"
Rossalee hesitated. Again I Im
patiently pointed to the dead octo
pus. "Do not dissemble, you wondrous
little creature," she said with a cold,
harmonlus smile that cut like a knife,
"there is but one substance that can
remove them."
Rossalee lifted her head. "He does
not knowingly dissemble," she re
plied. "I removed them in privacy
and when I returned he was In the
clutch of the monster. I violated
you edict, 0 Queen, my mother, thati
he rnkht see me as I am. that 7 mliht i him to us
honestly win bis love."
"And that rent on your bosom,"
she sneered. "Was that made for the
Banio purpose?','
A crimson wave of hot shame
burned for a moment on the outraged
brow of maiden purity, then left her
pale and trembling.
Suddenly she sprang to -her feet
and the iron will of the daughter
crossed swords with the mother's in
solent. "He did it at my request to press
the harmonizer when a tentacle had
my arms pinioned helpless to my
Bides," she replied coldly, then tear
ing the bandage from her bleeding
arm she cried: "There Is an evi
dence of the struggle I made to pre
serve a false modesty. I am respon
sible for his life as I brought him
here, and I swear by the God I love
and worship that I would have bid
him tear every thread from my body
and would have felt no touch of
shame, had It been necessary to save
the life I had brought by force to my
side." j
"Daughter, toy subject, let harmony
prevail," and the Queen smiled cold
ly. "My mother heart might view
with leniency the sinking of your
maiden purity In an effort to save
one so divinely small," here I noted
once more her hungry stare as she.
viewed my exposed proportions, "but
you are my subject as well as my
daughter, and stern justice must be
satisfied. We will see."
We stepped Into the motor and
were soon at the palace.
An application of ether to my pain
ful, though harmless wounds, re
moved the pain and I was but little
the worse for my awful experience.
As twilight fell we sought our fav
ored spot on the balcony. We both
seemed depressed and said but little.
A deep breath was broken by a trem
bling sigh on her lips.
"Does your arm still give you
pain?" I questioned.
"No, bnt my spirit seems sorely
depressed. Some vague shadow seems
hanging over us which I can not
fathom. I can face visible danger
and feel a certain exhiliration in a
conflict with it, but this hidden,
subtle oppression baffles and annoys
e"
"Remember," I said earnestly,
thinking of the Queen, "that no
matter what happens, my heart is
yours".'-'
"I know," she answered,
Then I painted for her a future all
glowing with dazzling happiness. The
perfumed, semi-tropical twilight set
tled swiftly around us and we nestled
into a close and sacred embrace. For
a full hour we sipped the sweet
draught of congenial love. The moon
arose and bathed us in her smile of

The bas-rollef, which is in the "mod

The relief on tlio medallion of Miss
Anthony Is only one-fourth of an Inch

the uneonnueriible tiro which shone
out through the bold personality of the

As a compliment to the National
American Woman Suffrage association,
of which Miss Anthony was president
from 1802 until her death In 1900, Mr.
Jacobs has had cast a second copy of
the bas-rcllcf, which was formally

OLDER BUT STRONGER
To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strengtb-bbilding and blood-nourishing
properties of Scott's Emulsion which is a
food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

For Dry Cleaning.
In cleaning any fabric with gasoline
or similar fluid It sometimes happens
thnt a ring Is left around the garment
In process of cleansing. To prevent
such a ring It Is recommended that by
adding common table salt to the gaso
line used spots can often be removed
from delicate fabrics In a most satis
factory manner.
If. however, a ring has been left the
place cleansed should be wet again
and Immediately covered while still
damp with fuller's earth, extending
Just beyond the ring. Let this remain
on for some time, and when brushed
off the spot should have disappeared.
Gypsum may be used In like manner
Instead of the fuller's earth If preferred.
The Lyrs Biro).
The fully developed malo lyre bird
is one of the most handsome and nota
ble of tlio forms of bird life of Queens
land. The contour of the bird, with
Its long neck and stout gallinaceous
feet, is by no means unlike thnt of a
peacock, and tho wonderful tall, pos
sessed only by the male birds, fulfills
corresponding role of vnlu display.
Tho bird executes antics for a train
of female admirers on a raised earth
en mound. For a short period of the
year, about January, the lyre bird loses
Its characteristic plumes and has to be
content with the sober phmiago of its
mate.

It Is souls!"
"Oh," she replied cuttingly, for his
enthusiasm was ton warm, "you do In
