Emily went itratajht In without taking oS her hit and coat Jeffrey looked np with a de lighted amlle as the entered, but the smile faded quickly at the eight ef her stricken (ace. Be rote quickly to meet her, took the mink coat that had been his present to her. "Emily, child, you're shivering! Sit here in (ront ot the are while I tell Nora to bring you some tea." Bhe leaned back In the chair and closed her eyes while he went to g Its the order (or tea. It was good to be here; to be taken care of again. Bhe was glad of a respite from speech, even (or a moment. Jeffrey came back and stood look ing down at her from the hearth. "All my life I've been trying to do the thing that was expected of me. To consider other people first" She laughed shortly. "This Is one of the results. Now I'm going to try to please myself; I'm going to reach out with both hands and take what ever I can get!" He said soberly, "I can't say I blame you. What are you going to do?" "First ot all, if you don't mind, Fm going to move over here. And after that I don't know; I'll have . to get my bearings. I'm going to get i a divorce as soon as I can. and I, think I'll leave Elston for a while, i Living 'like a tenement worker' In some city,'" she smiled dimly at; Frances's phrase, "has Its compensa tions." Whatever the charges brought against her generation, Jeffrey thought, a lack of courage was cer tainly not one ot them. He wouldn't dictate to her; he'd let her work It out alone, and help her In any way he could. Surely she could do no worse than this tor herself! He said quietly! "You know m see that yon don't live like that" SOT smiled at him, In her eyes the love that she didn't trust herself to put Into words. "Bless you! It I come out on top after this It will' "My way didn't work either, Dad." waiting In silent dread for her to speak. There was no use in manulao turlng pleasantries, he saw; she was beyond that And so he stood and looked at her, his love In his eyes. At last she began. "My way lldn't work either, Dad. It's Just lone on the rocks gloriously the whole thing." He stood quite still for a moment, absorbing: the shock. "That's bad, Micky. Do you feel like telling me about It?" Bhe told him, almost word (or rord, because the whole scene was eared upon her mind. When she had Inlshed Jeffrey was silent (or a long . time, while the Ire crackled and the dock on the mantel ticked. "Dad," the cried suddenly, "haven't 1 paid my debt?" "Yes," he said slowly, "I think roil have. In full." "And you'll stand by me now?" Re had promised that he would, but It wouldn't be (air to remind htm of It now. HE thought reluctantly ot his own share In bringing this about; of bis (allure to help her when she bad been, he realised now, so des perately In need of help. He had tried since then to salve his conscience with the assurance that he hadn't asked her to stay in Elston; hadn't advised her to marry Edwin; and (ound no comfort In the assurance. This would be his atonement, no matter what It cost him. "Don't you know I will, dearest child?" Peace descended miraculously npon her, but she was weak and shaken. She said unsteadily, "I think I'll have to cry awhllel" He took her In his arms snd she erled luxuriously sgalnst his shoul der. When the was quiet again he said casually: "Let's talk about this a little mere. Do you feel like It?" "Yes. I hadn't really finished." . "All right What'e next?" Bhe sat up, and there was some thing In her (ace that he had. never seen there before: something re lentless and determined. he because ot yon. And I'm going to!" The ring of conviction was In her voice: she had never been so sure ot anything In her lite. Charlotte had said that being happy wasn't a tenth as important as being alive. ( Neither was it, the might have added, a tenth as Important at being tree to work out your own destiny. Had Jeffrey been able to read her thoughts he could have told her that the recipe (or contentment did not lie in (reedom, (or (reedom waa a myth.-The recipe lay, not in an ab sence of chains, but in loving the bonds that held you. But Jeffrey was not clairvoyant Frances Felton't voice reached them from the hall, clear and a little reproachful. "Nora, you should have told me that Miss Emily was hare." Instinctively Emily slipped her hand Into Jeffrey's Ho gave it a little squeeze and grinned at her, the same conspirator's grin that had sustained her on her wedding day. "Keep a stiff upper lip, Mick. We're In the majority, you know," Characteristically, Frances took the blow standing up. Her face was white and drawn, and aha made one last stand, but she reallzod, even ae she protested, that the stand was doomed to failure. "Do you realise, Emily, that there's never been a divorce on either side of our family?" It was Jeffrey who answered that and at the sound ot his voice Frances knew that she was fighting alone. "Naturally not They suffered In silence because divorce waa aup posed to be a disgrace. Thank heaven that's over, and If lt't any comfort to you, my dear, thousands ot unblemished records like ours are going Into the ashcan every day." Emily looked squarely at her. "Do you remember, on my wedding day, when I told you I couldn't go on with It? I asked you If divorce wouldn't be worse than stopping then and you agreed, but you In sisted thst I'd get over that feeling."

Sea water contains about 3 grains of gold to the ton enough, if all the gold were taken from the waters of the sea, to give every living person in the world 814,000,000 worth. Solid granite has one part of gold In 7, 000.000 parts, and even ordinary clay Is gold-bearing. Gold, however.

The fish normally live In the warm Gulf Stream, but In that year winda blew a cold Arctic current into the warm water, chilling and killing so many of them that their floating bodies dotted the ocean for miles. For many years It waa thought that all had been destroyed. By 1900, however, tltlefish were found in considerable numbers. Tomorrow: Railroad of the Dead.
