live ltk a woman ot wealth.
The senator supplies her with
money, keeping up tha Motion
that her stock Is yielding It On
trip sha meets Brian Antsey.
He helps her out ot an embar
rassing situation.
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."

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. Like several other
species of wild hibiscus, this crimson
flowered one blooms In the borders of
swamps In summer, at a time when
low grounds In many places are guy
with the soul hern red Illy, whose up
right sjilltary flower, of red and yellow
spotted with purple, tops a stem sol
with mnny nnrrow erect leuves.
Peace for Pants' Sake
"Mother," announced Dotiuld, as tie
burst In from school, "I had a fight
with Jlmiiile today."
"Mercy I" gasped his mother, "What
In the world!" 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. Of course, I
knew I mustn't fight In them, so we
quit."

Ths Thames at ths Tower
(Prepared by the National Oeiraphta
IWMr, Waititnston. P. O.)
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
