The bureau points out that pearls are formed either by an injury to the oyster or the introduction of some foreign matter through the shell where a pearl develops by a process of irritation. Pearls of value are found usually in warm Pacific waters, but the oysters from which they are taken are not edible.—Pathfinder Magazine.

He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezias sis- ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the care of three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh’s wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his job at the steel plant founded by one of his fore bears, Hugh passes Doc Hiller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be cause of Dorrie’s antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char acter she fears Kezia has inherited. Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined gir! who is a distant niece of Flu vanna’s and a favorite of Hugh’s. She hap pily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue.

CHAPTER III—Continued — 8— It was whispered around that he had been threatened with prison, that he had used company money for his own use. People shooA their heads over a wasted life, women discussed it at tea parties for a week, then the world moved on about its own consumingly inter esting affairs. Fluvanna was ill for several weeks. Dry-eyed, white, almost speechless, she lay in bed. Her friends whispered of shock—she had found him that way after she heard the shot. Small wonder she was ill with that, and if she knew half the things that were rumored! When she grew better, she de voted herself to her children and went out very little. Her friends could not surmise the poignancies that harmless, idle conversation could awaken, could not vision the pain that talk of home and hus bands and plans for the future could awaken in a tortured soul, bleeding with memories. 304% CHAPTER IV ELECTRIC STEAM RADIATORS A portable steam radiator (401) operating on ordinary house plug of 11UV.

HARRY E HEATHMAN MGR, a lpy'/ sena) Hugh was intensely annoyed as he buttered his breakfast roll. “You say you wrote to him, and then you got this letter? Why didn’t you say something to me first?” “I thought I might persuade you to change,” answered Dorrie. He shook his head. “It wouldn’t do, darling, at all. Insurance is a business I know nothing about. It would take me a year or two to learn—and what would we live on during that time?” "John thinks you might do very well in a few months. See what he says,” she tossed the letter over to him from John Reeper, husband of her sister Beryl. It was a mild communication, of fering little or nothing; if Hugh wanted to take up the insurance business in New York, he would put him in touch with the right par ties. Hugh groaned to himself that Dorrie should regard this as a busi ness opportunity! The lace on the flowing sleeve of Dorrie’s negligee fell away as she lifted her arm to pour a cup of coffee. “Your father was in the in surance business—you should have some talent for it,” she said idly. Hugh disregarded that. “We’d have to move away.” “Exactly.” "You want to? Leave this little place, our place?

My grandfather was in it; most of my relatives are. At least I know what it’s about.” When she did not answer he went on pleadingly. "1 haven't dene so badly here, Dorrie.
