CHAPTER III Continued Their eyes met hers cool and mock ing and his a little hurt and bewildered. Suddenly they realized how little they knew of one another, yet they were wasting time tu generalities. And to morrow this would h over. The stltllsh worldllness of a flying train would obliterate all this. lie drew her to a window outside th radius of the big r-i stove where the other travelers were unhappily congregated The panes were cov ered with lovely frost castles and piny peaks that reminded Linda of Switzer land. Hut Brian obliterated all this with his warmed handkerchief. A little town drowsing with Its covers half over Its head was revealed Lights winked through the drift that was beginning again. Dark smoke from burdened chimneys colled slowly upward. Belated figures huddled In shapeless wraps hurried past. "Do you like It ?" be asked when she had been silent a while. "I would like to go and walk there." she said In a subdued voice. This time they borrowed gaiters from the landlord's daughter hure, Knee-high cloth and r ' ' overalls lined with thick cheerful red wool. Their owner called them "arctics," and cheerfully helped to fasten straps. Linda so clothed could scarcely lift her feet, and when a red knitted shawl was tied around her head and neck she gasped and called herself a mummy. The group of women beside the stove murmured together and looked at her superciliously, but Brian Anstey seemed to consider these ore- ! cautions merely sensible. Out of doors a piercing still cold ness pressed their lungs until they gasped out words that were frost nipped before they left their throats. Linda was trying to say she could not endure It she must go back but he took her hand and drew her stumbling after him along the beaten paths of the little town. Little houses hidden by Christmas trees; larger houses shouldering-the storm; lights everywhere, warm and Inviting. "I want to see Inside," Linda pleaded childishly, and then they began a gams that only children or lonely grownups ever play, creeping carefully over the muffling snow they would reach a win dow and peer fearfully within. Some times they saw a little family, father, mother and children, and sometimes It was a young mother alone rocking her baby. Then there would be young people w tchlng one another shyly and secretly, married or about to be mar rled It showed upon their revealed" faces that this was all that mattered. But It was all pantomime, silenced by walls and windowpanes. They could never hear a sound from those mov ing, voiceless lips. They went too far In this engross Ing game, and found themselves at the edge of the town where life suddenly ceased In the midst of blank fields. Linda was exhausted "I must rest," she gasped, and leaned against a fence post. . "But how can we know that they are hnppj?" she asked bitterly, when she could speak. "We only saw the outside of things. It might have been frightful Inside those houses." He looked at her In a troubled way. "We've come too far. ! Intend to carry you back." He seemed to have forgotten what they were talking about. Linda started and laughed nervous ly, "What nonsense I" she exclaimed She looked around. They were ut terly alone In the midst of an empty world. Distances magnified by tho Intense whiteness and stillness be came enormous. She remembered that she did not Know this man; he was a stranger, u the gloom she could not see his face, but only the bulk of his broad shoul ders and the length of his arms. Strange, evil, terrible thoughts surged upward In her mind. All the arms that had reached for her hungrily, greedily, In these elusive years were there around her. She bit her Hp to keep from crying out, reallzlnx thai her exhausted voice could make no hoadwfiy In that thickened air. He took a step toward her, and she put out her hands feebly, lie put his arms around her and lifted her lightly and easily. She could not struggle; life and strength were ebbing from her. Under her breath she whispered something, trying to fight the unrea soning terror that had her In Its pos session. "Just put your arms around my neck," suld Brlnn. "1 can do this easily." She obeyed because she had no strength. She was an Inert bundle, of clothes and helpless hodv. lie could have done anything, carried her Riiy where, for- she had no resistance. But0 Instead, bo stepped out on the puttr and began .40 walk steadily towunfc the town again. , She could hear the easy measured murmur of his heart. She closed her eyes, and Imagined she whs lying' against a warm wall his breast was like that Ills arms were Ilka s cradle. She remembered she had been, afraid, and wondered why. That silly' terror was as far behind her as wearl 1 ness, for now life was coming back strange life that senrohed out the re motest nerves of her body and turned them Into fine quivering strings. She felt his arms tremble, and her cheeks against his breast told her his henrt wns pounding. Suddenly she was bV and gasping. "Put tne down," she cried, strtifr" gllng. "1 am so heavy. You must be hnlf dead." ' But. nil hn n-na not even a little dead. He let her slip to the ground. but his own hands fell to her shoul ders and clung there. Ills eyes, lighted with queer yellow sparks held her own. She felt ashamed and writhed under what she rend there, for she knew that he knew about uefj fear and what she had feared. They walked slowly back to thl hotel. Nearly all the lights were out; and they tt!te.l they had glveaj grounds for scandal when they saar the face of the proprietor. Before hie4 shocked eyes they went op the stair and stopped before Linda's door. ' "1 will see you In the morning?" 1 "Of course." She stifled yawnf She was thinking of something that gave her an ugly shock. She had to see him In the morning; she had counted opon that, and It would have been so much nicer to let him go now. "Walt," she was turning to open her door but she had to obey his voice. It was wistful again. "1 wish you'd believe In things again. It's easy li yon try." She laughed. CHAPTER IV Fluttering Linda was dinlug with Senator Con verse. "1 'old thnrt to c to the duckling himself." he grumbled, "and see what he has brought No wonder you're not eating. Where Is he?" He glanced aruund the room, but Linda Inter fered "There Is nothing wrong. Prsy don't mnke scene," she said In her Icy sweet voice. She never touched anything when she (lined with him. To wntch him pawing over his food, ordering more and devouring It with bis eyes, was too much. The dinners were always perfect, and she felt Henri's eyes, humid with reproach upon her every moment. But unless she could have closed her eyes and ears throughout the meal she could not evnuuer tti distnste with which Converse alwaj affected her. Their meetings. Intermittent and In frequent for two or three years, hud begun to occur with some regularity. Linda did not dread seeing him as she bad before Courtney Hotb's time. Something hard and brittle, like a tlil'i shell, had grown over her spirit In this time so that words nnd looks even the contact of his hot hands could not reach her. She did not feat him. There were remote fastness within her where she could retreat and where he could never follow. a The unlucky duckling had gone Its way when the senator, mumbling he hind his napkin, wanted to know th reason to which he owed the pleasure of her society. She flushed slowly, playing with he fork. "Why are you so certain thai there Is a reason? Perhaps 1 was only bored." ' He gave her the little glance she hated. Those small eyes from their ledge of flesh seemed to know every thing. . j "Nonsense, my dear; all women want something besides food when they telephone an old man and ast him to dinner." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Famous Beauty Is Hibiscus It has been written of one of Flor ida's wild flowers that It "Is probably the most gorgeous of all the pluntt Indigenous to the United States." This superlative praise wus given to a toll hibiscus that opens crimson flowers five to eight Inches across, says Na ture Mugazlne.

Then she queried, "But who won this fight?" "Oh, neither one of us," explained Donald. "We Just quit. You see, I happened to look down, and found 1 had on my new punts.

LONDON the city Is a Mecca for trawlers and Is known, from books and stories, throughout the world. Imdon the port Is :omparatlvcly little known, yet In world economics It is eveu more Im portant than London the city. The tory of this great port Involves tho ships that crowd the Thames from the Seven Seas, the varied piles of prod ucts from all corners of the world that are set down on London quays nd dock, and the facilities for han dling this mighty business of provid ing neeessltlvs and luxuries for s great block of the world's consumers. The port of London ha developed it her ships have developed In her 2,000 years of history she has known the long, rakish Viking boats, the lit tle wind driven ships of the Continent, smacks, frigates, clippers; and since the advent of steam and the gas en gine, great mechanical greyhounds of the Sea ot ever-Increasing site. The smaller ships of the past cen turies found It possible to anchor In the Thames or to tie up to her wharves snd quays. But as ships be came larger and more numerous the great tldnl range of the river was found to be more and more trouble some. It was then that London began the construction of the great closed dock system which gives her the most extensive area of artificial ship basins tn the world. A quay or whsrf Is merely a wall or platform along the shore of a river or Inlet. A true dock Is constructed by digging Into the bank to construct a baaio Into which the harbor water flows. A lock snd water gates usually connect the basin with the outer wa ter. When ships r floated Into the dock at high tide the gates can be closed, shutting In enough witter to float the ships even when the water has dropped far below the necessary level outside. In sme modern docks the water level can be maintained or even raised above the high tide level, by gigantic pumping plants. Growth of the Dock System. London's system of docks, now so extensive and elaborate, grew by very slow degrees. The first little wet dock, dug at ISlaekwall about 1C5, was used merely to outfit ships. Samuel Pepys mentions It In his diary. Next, about 170O, came s larger dock used merely as a protected anchorage for ships that were to be long In port This basin came to be frequented by whal ing ships In the Greenland trade and was long known 0 the Greenland dock. The whalers soon realized that unloading find the taking on of sup plies could he better accomplished In the dock than In the river. Blubber factories, storage facilities, and all the lll-smelllng accessories of whaling grew up around the basla, which thus was first to tnke on what are the ele mentary docking activities of today. These beginnings of the dock sys tem were constructed wlthlu few miles of London bridge. From them the system has developed, principally down the river Into deeper and deep er water. The West and East India docks were built ubout 10. They now embrace 127 acre of wuter ba sins, millions of squnre feel of ware house space, and more than five miles of quays. The so-called London docks, the nearest basin to the bridge, are relatively small, covering 35 acres of water and C" acres of land. The Sur rey Commercial docks, built around the original Greenland dock, consist of 147 acres of water, 2.'J0 acres of land, and 5 miles of quays. Royal Docks the Largest The Itoyul docks, six or eight miles below London bridge, are tho heart of London's dock system, and the most extensive Inclosed docks In tho world. They consist of the Koynl Victoria dock, built in 1855; the Itoyal Albert dock, completed In 1880; and the King George V dock, opened In 1!)'-!1. To gether they embrace 215 acres of wa ter and extend along tha river for three miles. More than half a million tons of shipping has been berthed In these connected dock at one time. Twenty-six miles below London bridge Is the most remote of London' shipping basins, the Tilbury docks. These were opened In 1880 to accom modate the largest of the vessels en tering the port and those of the deep est draft. Us new entrance lock Is approximately of the dimensions of the great locks of the Pannma canal, with. a depth of 45 feet C inches be low high water. It Is In the Tilbury dock that the greatest of the trun- Bridge, From the Air, ocean passenger steamship berth ships of clow to 22.000 tons. London Is not dependent alone on Inclosed dork. Along tho OU mile ot river which supply the city with po tential port facilities, are mnny miles of open wharves and qunys. To these comes a constant procession of bnrges, coasting boats, and even sizable steamers. For the past 19 years the great dock system of lmdoti has been under puh He ownership, managed by the Port of tamlon Authority, a corporate body, whose members are In part appointed by the admiralty, the Imdoit County council, and other public organiza tions ; and In part are elected by tax payers nnd'groups particularly Inter ested In the port business. The Port Authority also controls some open whsrfuge, but th grenter portion of this I under private ownership. Vsst Strea'ms of Trsd. With Its river, Its scores of mile of wharves and dock and Its vsst ware houses and vaults, th port of I-on-don Is a gateway and a treasure house through which and Into which pour a stream ot good ruiiglng from the barest neceanltle and the crudest raw ninterlals to the most costly product of loom and factory, artist and crafts man. In part the value snd volume of tandon's son borne trade ar owing to Its geographic sltuntlou betweeu continental Europe ami the Americas; In part to the city's stntus a head and henrt of the world wide British empire. Many of tho docks and warehouses devote theniM-lves to certain special ties. The old Urwnlnnd dock and Its neighbors are concerned Inrgely with the Bultlc, White sen, and Canada trade, for the most part made up of timber and grain. To tha West India docks come thousands of tons of sug ar, scores of thousands of gallons of rum, and hard woods. Ktignr Is also unloaded by the thousands of tons at tho Knut India docks along with the spice, silks, rugs and dozens of other commodities from the Lust The quantities of goods that pass over London's doek and wharves Is stupendous. The lending lmMirt In quantity Is grain and meals; close to 7U,XXi,0" bushels are brought In year ly, their value reaching $ir.,Mi,ix. Such dlsitimllnr articles ns tea and frenli and frozen meals, lead nil Im ports In value. More thn ia..txsi,nif, worth of each arrives antmully. The greater part of the tea Is for consump tion, the balance for re-export. The meat Is practically all for consump tion, and It Is supplemented by a con Niderat-le quantity of homegrown meat On to the docks pour each year ton nnd tons of butter valued at more than J100,0oo,sxi, 5O,0uo,niO worth of cheese, and more tliun i,im,m,tm eggs. There Is a steady stream of wines and spirits In hogsheads, "pipes," barrels nnd bottles. Most of these find their way to the under ground vaults of the Port of tendon Authority where there Is complete equipment for blending, bottling, stor ing and aging. There are more than a dozen huge vats each with a capacity In excess of 20,X)0 gallons. Fortunes In Warehouses. This Is but a suggestion of tho vast stream of goods that pusses over the docks and Into the warehouses of Lon don. Knough tobacco Is In storage to make a smoke screen for the navies of the world tho best tobacco that Is afforded by tho Americas, Greece, Turkey, Burma, China, Sumatra, Bor neo, Cyprus and Africa. Other ware houses contain fortunes In rubber, Ivory, metals, rare earths, drugs, per fumes, porcelains, fine fabrics and laces, feathers, furs and hundreds of other commodities that minister to the wants of a complex civilization. In lO'JS, the total net ship tonnage III and out of London was 55,42.'1,IW1, Although the London water front Is called upon to cure 'for ships und goods from all the world's continents 11 ml sens, It hit not wholly a commer cial flavor.
