THE STORY
Linda HaverMU'a ne'er-do-well
father diee when h It aeven
teen, leaving her little beyond
aome wortbleea stock certlfk-atea.
These the takes to her fathers
friend, Senator Converse, to dls
pos of. After a whirlwind
courtship Linda marries Court
nejr Roth. Too lata the disco v.
srs he Is a penniless adventurer
"Ivlng by hla wits. Koth 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 AnMey.
.lie helps her out of an embar
rassing Ituatlon.
CHAPTER IV Continued
Ills allusion to age wns mockery.
He was exactly as he bad been for
fifteen years not old. not young. Ills
ponderous body would not reveal the
time It had lived. Linda disliked the
smirk with which he always accom
panied these hypocritical references
to himself.
"It ts the penalty yon pay for being
my friend," she said In a light, arti
ficial voice.
Tbe senator received the next course
with a pleased air. He wns prepared
to enjoy anything that Henri brought,
knowing that soon I.Inda would be at
his mercy. He could watch her writhe
wlille she told her trouble and asked
for his aid.
"You've seen a Fable coat yon must
haver be bantered, 'or this time U
is town car."
She did not trouble to reply. She
knew he was playing with her. They
had talked of sable coats and town
cars long ago, but Linda had not
wanted them badly enough. She
owned very good furs and she could
always buy a car.
Their Interviews always began with
l!ght fencing; with a playful sarcas:o
behind which lurked the deadly bnrb
of reality. If he but once pierced her
shield
"I have not heard from Stevens
about the traction stock," she said at
len; .n ' I wrote to him In October
but he did not reply." Stevens wns
the broker who mysteriously turned
Jim Haverhill's fantastically colored
paper Into occasional drafts.
"Money? Oh, It's merely a matter
of money I" the senator exclaimed,
with an air of relief. "My dear child,
yo:i looked so gloomy I really feared It
was something serious this time.
Money! How much thin time?"
She looked at him levelly, color ris
ing o her delicate cheeks. There was
a giease spot on his white vest, and
the collar of his coat wns lightly pow
derej with dandruff. Dinner was half
over, but he still ate as eagerly as at
the Beginning. Linda thought: "With
all this horror about him. he still has
the power to Insult me."
"Come, come" he urged, reading her
open look. "I was only Joking. I'll
stir Stevens op tomorrow. He must
have been very busy nnd overlooked
your small account Don't be offended,
my denr."
This was the way he always re
treated. She knew It was false
ground, but she wns glad to stand
upon It, so strongly had tbe habit of
Ignoring facts grown upon her.
Dinner was over but they sat for
a long while over their coffee. Linda
hud chosen a popular restaurant
where they were sure to be seen and
recognized. She had never permitted
ber relations with Converse to become
surreptitious. When the dancing floor
filled, she was constantly smiling or
nodding at somebody she knew. The
music was good, and she tapped the
floor with the toe of her slipper In a
little secret harmony.
"1 wish I could dunce with you, my
dear." said the senator Instantly.
"Oh, no," she said hastily, and he
smiled with wry understanding that
mule her almost sorry for him. "It Is
e'most time to go," she added, more
gently.
"Your trip west has changed you,"
he said presently after one of those
observant silences. lie wns disap
pointed. Almost at once be had sensed
something about her sunie experi
ence that removed her farther from
Mm. though here she was. licking for
money In that foolish, gunrded way
that every time brought her fluttering
closer to his hand.
He frowned. He had not expected
this. For a long time lie hud watched
for tbe collapse of l.lndu's defenses.
He knew thai as women grow older
they become less llluslonury und more
experimental. Linda's exjmrlenee had
been extraordinary; her veils had
been shorn from her quickly and until
toolght he had been secure In the be
lief that she would soon turn to him
from her fnllen Idols. He whs quite
ready to accept her as she was a
JIttle bruised, the freshness and moo
cence of bcr beauty polished to hard
surfaces. His philosophy of love was
that a woman who has suffered and
grown wise Is far safer to hang Jewels
upon than one who merely suffers In
wearing them.
Linda deuled change. 'Nothing tins
happened," she said.
"I will telephone Stevens tomorrow,"
promised Converse. He made a mo
tion to rise. He hated restnurouta
with their glitter and gaiety and smart
young men and women.
Hut Linda wns watching a young
man who was making his way through
the throng of darners to where she
sat. Her expression was very strange.
The senator, analysing It, discovered
surprise. Joy, chagrin and something
else new to him shame and embar
rassment Puzzled he followed her
own eyes and beheld a familiar face.
"Young AnsteyT he exclaimed.
"What I Do you know blmT"
Linda held out her hand as Brian
reached them. "What a strange eu
counter If anything could be strange
In New York!" she exclaimed. Her
eyelids fluttered and fell beneath bis
gaze but he held ber haud closely and
said nothing.
The senator coughed. "I had no
Idea you two were friends."
r.rlan laughed and the tension was
broken. "I can otily clului a day In
Mrs. Hoth's life."
Linda saw she must explain. She
found It difficult to control her voice.
Little waves of excitement raced
through her as Brian's band touched
hers and coupled with this was some
thing cold and sodden like a manacle
upon her wrist
"Mr. Anstey was on my train when
It was delayed In the snow," she said
briefly. "He was kind, nnd helped me
through on unpleasant situation."
The young man flushed. ".'lease
Mrs. Roth-"
Hut Linda look straight at Con
verse, and explained cruelly. It satis .
fled some Inner urge of shame to bare
her shame before this satyr who had
bought as much as he could of ber
and paid so small a price,
"Some of us spent the night at a
little country hotel when they told us
that the train could not go on until
next day. I wetit with the others be
cause I thougtit It would be more com
fortable, but It was really horrM And
then In the morning, when we were
all hurrying to get back, I found that
I had come away without my purse. 1
had nothing to pay the hotel, and the
other women were not nice. Not
the sort you could ask favors of. So
I had to borrow from Mr. Anstey."
She paused Hrlan Anstey was puz
zled by her expression. Her eyes were
cold and mocking and her Hps were
drawn Into a thin red line. She looked
as If she were torturing somebody.
Converse wns turning his familiar
shade of purple. "Yon spent a night
at some godforsaken hole and Anstey
was there!" he cried In his wheezing
voice. His face wns alive with sus
picion as he watched their faces.
"Yon haven't heard the worst,"
Linda went on smoothly. "When we
finally got back to the car and I looked
for my poor forgotten purse. I found
It on the floor, quite empty, except for
my ticket check nnd a few letters.
Not a penny to buy a bun and already
In debt to a stranger for board and
lodging. Could you Imagine anything
more trnglcT
Her flippancy struck Converse like
a whiplash. He knew. If the other
man did not what lay behind her
words. He had forgotten that Anstey
wns present
"My (j d I Linda" he stammered
but she silenced him by turning the
hard brilliance of her eyes awny.
Brian's party was sending Impa
tient glances from their table oppo
site. There was a pretty blond girl
nnd a bored couple who wanted to
dance, but could not leave the girl
alone.
"I must go," said Brian In a low
voice, "but you will let cue see you
tomorrow, won't you?"'
"Surely," she assented lazily. "J
have not forgotten my debt and all
the thanksgiving I owe you. You may
telephone me at eleven."
The senator contributed a grumble
to the conventional good-bra and then
be and Linda were alone again.

Restoring Old Paintings
Old paintings can be restored by an
amateur by the careful use of spike
oil of lavender, a solvent the value
of which for this work Is not widely
known, even among thoie who claim
to be expert restorers. Tbe oil should
be rubbed on lightly with the fingers
or with a pad. It will be found that
It dissolves the varnish that has ac
cumulated on the surfuce of the paint
ing and releuses the dirt This oil
wns used by some old masters as a
vehicle for pigment before Unseed oil
wns adopted generally for this pur
pose. We would strongly advise,
however, that If possible you should
take the painting to nh expert, to
avoid the chunce of accident due to
Inexperience.

In reply to a number of questions as to
the world's oldest game the answer Is
dice. Most authorities ugree that
dice-throwing Is the oldest amusement
In the world. The game of dice, in
some form or other, lias existed In

ventlon of the game Is attributed to

INDIA
AND ITS PEOPLES
By Capt. L. R. Claud Robinson

BALUCHISTAN
THE southern portion of the north
west frontier of India comprises a
great tract of territory known as
Baluchistan, which forms n rough
square bounded by Slnd on the east,
Afghanistan on the north and Persia
and the Arabian sea on the west nnd
south respectively.
Mr. D. 8. de Bray rather aptly de
scribes the physical characteristics of
this country as "a chaotic Jumble ol
mud-colored mountains for nil the
world 'Ike a herd of titanic camels."
Outside the monsoon aren tho unnual
rainfall amounts to only nine Inches;
consequently, although the land Is ex
traordinarily fertile, productivity Is
stunted.
The peoples of Baluchistan fit appro
priately enough Into the somewhat
rough setting which nature has pro
vided. Their occupations are tdniple
chiefly agriculture, camel-driving and
flock-owning nnd the standard of
their civilization Is primitive. Made
up In the main of Baluchi, Brahuts
and Afghans, they are picturesque hi
appearance and manly In bearing.
Trouble ts liable to descend upon them
at any time from the north, where the
borderland Is Infested by wild and
lawless tribes; but Inter tribal warfare
may be said to be a part of their
existence, and their attitude towards
their northern neighbors Is and has
always been one of thinly veiled an
tagonism, which may nt any moment
break out Into open hostility.
A British otllcer once asked a pnrty
of these borderland tribesmen what
their attitude would be In the event
of a war between (treat Britain and
Russia. The native replied: "We
would Just sit up here on our mountain
tops watching you both fight until we
saw one or other of you utterly de
feated; then we would come down and
loot the vanquished until the last
mule. God Is great! Whnt a time
that would be for us!" It would In
deed, for their favorite pastime Is
raiding nnd thieving.
The Pushtu-speaking man of the
bills of Baluchistan and the northwest
frontier are particularly selfish, trench
erous, vindictive and cruel. Women
without noses are rather common In
tribal territory victims of mnrtlal
Jealousy and vlndletlveness. The roll
of Englishman who have lost their
! lives through the treachery of these
peoples U a long one.
BRITAIN IN INDIA
VTOT every one Is fnmlllur with the
British conquest of India. What
Americans should not forget Is that
although they now rightly consider
India and ber present problems from
an absolutely detached viewpoint, In
the very early history of tbe British
In India many of their ancestors quite
likely ployed a glorious part.
The story goes nck to MtH). twenty
years previous to the momentous voy
age if the Mayflower, to the time
wh;n Queen Ellznlfth established the
East Indlf- company. At that time the
I'nrtniru.'se bad monopolized Eastern
trade for over a century. They were
expelled by the Elizabethan sailors
For a hundred and fifty years tbe
East India company traded In coin
petition with the Fiench and Dutch
who were Anally fj-ted by ('live and
Warren Hastings, the founders of
British India. These men not only
defeated their competitors, hut subju
gated vast territories. During the suc
ceeding .itindred and fifty years, ry

tions. Bill Ish India was mnde what It
Is today. The question may well oe
asked, particularly at a time such as
the present when the eyes of the
world are focused upon Indln: What
Important changes have resulted from
British occupation?
ir the first place, a powerful and
efficient government has been estab
lished, which hns largely suppressed
racial and religious wnrfare. Admin
istrative areas have been formed, a
great Judicial system has been set
up, communication have been Im
proved by the construction of roads
and nearly fifty thousand miles of
railways. There Is an elllclent and
fur-reaching postal system. Huge
Irrigation works have been carried
out A year or so ago one of the
greatest Irrigation schemes In the
world was begun, and Is now going
on. known as the Sukkur Barrage In
the Slnd. This Is to cost J.IT.VKXUXIO.
It provides for an extensive system of
canals on both sides ol the Indus
river to supply perennial Irrigation,
and It Is expected that during the next
ten years the cotton acreage In tUn
Punjab will be doubled, ami between
two and three million acres will be
added to the wheat producing area.
Agriculture has been Improved; In
diistrles have been created, mines and
oil wells have been sunk; over S!(H).

have been built; universities and med
leal colleges have been established;
tropical diseases have heen mitigated;
many Indian customs repugnant to
humane Ideas have been abolished:
IW.tiOO co-operative societies have
tieen formed; the land system has
been modernized, and a fair system of
finance and taxation established,

The news sprmd rapidly and a min
iature gold rush started before the
city authorities stepped In and di
vided op the land for exploitation
by the Jobless.
The explanation Is that the land

taken from districts which were
swept by fire following the earth
quake of l',rJ3 and which were mude
over for the count ruction of rouds
and parka. Countless pieces of
money and other valuables were left
by the flumes and never recovered.
These are now being dug up after
being transported to their new loca
tion. The record find to date In the
exploited area Is a semiprecious
stone which used to be part of a ring
