If ever Amazing girl ahe'd learned fast. Wlllett spok' only once before they reached the Balnearlo Drive, r. earing under bis breath as a car riage lolled along in the middle of the road ahead of him. The rlrl was very quiet. She sat ao "I shot htm." She ilose to blm he could feel the trarmth of her bare arm and the ivhole pliant yield of her body. Too bad for her it wasn't the Bataclan they were leaving, and the iprawllng hulk of Luis Hlltlcz wouldn't rise to his foot and wait tor the next customer seeking staged sxcltement (or fifty centavoa. Then as they swopt Into the beautiful, broad drive she uttered a low slgb. "1 think I'm going to be so awfully lick" Rut she wasn't She exerted her self Immediately and fought off tbe nauseating attack. She was funda mentally strong, this slim girl with the honoy-colorcd hnlr. Wlllett, who recognized atrongth, abruptly found blmnolf looking upon death with a different view point. pEATH he had aeon in many forms, extending from t mine explosion In Swansea to that old paymaster of his father's who'd fallen off his horse on a six-foot grade In the Darlsan foothills. Ho bad become hardened to it as something that fitted in naturally with tho twisting pattern of this thing called lixlslonco. Hut watching this girl draw a long quivering breath In her struggle for control, he romembered how terribly weak and helpless ho'd felt years ogo. He'd been vory young, a kid be d cried "Take It easy," he advised gently. "You shot In self-defense" "I shot htm." She spoke queerly, like somebody trying to feel out a geometrical theorem. "I Just found It In my hand and It was Just there." She laughed shortly. "How ridicu lous. I sound like a bnhy-faced wlto tolling the Jury how she made her self a widow." "You only winged the buzznrd. Shucks, these South Americans cream over a stomach-ache." She shook her head slowly. "He didn't scream. He didn't say a word. What shall I do?

"There Is no dmibt that whst the ledersl (rover n men t ha done hna hen of value and will eoutmue to produce results." whether Roslna B Is the came of a Spanish dancer or a tugboat" He paused a moment. "Fox la the only person who will know. In the meantime don't worry about a thing. I'm covering." He was covering! She looked at him then, the clear, strong line of tanned Jaw and straight nose pro filed against the street lamps. He was still the brass band, t his rangy, auburn-haired young man who moved ao surely and calmly In a world of flares and battle. "I'm a coward," she said quite aim ply. "I'm afraid. Of lota of thinga And yet," she smiled wanly, "when you aay 'I'm covering' I don't fee) afraid. 1 don't know why." To Wlllett she was only a strangi and lovely girl who'd amazingly shot from the blp to cover his horrible carelessness in turning his back and was now slightly Incoherent from the shock of gunsmoke and a sway ing thing back on Roslna B. He fell it was only natural. BUT to George Fox she would hart been somebody entirely differ ent from the girl of qulcksllvei tastes and atrange, moody deslrei that led to explosions and headline! In a world of town houses, sport mo tors, and blue ribbon hunters. She was the girl who at flashing Intervals tried desperately to read spoke queerly. Into her ancestry for qualities thai her parents disregarded courage, perhaps; sincerity, assuredly. And George Fox would have marveled. Wlllett drove her to hor hotel, the regal Alvlo Palaclo, house of gleam ing shirt fronts and polo players. He snapped off the engine and turned In his seat "Oct hold of yoursolf," he urged. "Fox and 1 will take care ot things Now! all set?" "Yes, pard." He rollecled briefly on that "Yes. pard." "You saved my life, you know," he snld wonderlngly. "For the Lord's sako, I'd forgotten that " Sho nearly regained the gift ol laughter. Ho seemed so Incredulous tin If somobody had told him. but ho didn't believe It. Evidently his lite was something to Juggle around, and nearly dropping It occasionally was nothing very surprising. "Easy does it," ho counseled anx iously. "You've Just come back from tho Legation " She nodded darkly. "Watch mo, buddy. This here stained woman once walked a chalk line In a Connecticut police station." He saw hor walk steadily through the great doors of tho Alvlo Palaclo, nodding calmly to the doorman; saw her long, graceful flgure fade Into the Alvlo's Into cocktnll crowd and dlsnppenr. "Nerve," Wlllett muttered and flirted a fnrowcll hand. ' Tho lights and music of the Lega Hon Club still twinkled serenely on. The world dlea and the world dances "If Hlldcz Is dead, hell Is going to pop, Terry. Allaire's traveling on a diplomats passport and things are ticklish right now. lie on awful mess.' . Ho looked vory strained, George i Fox of Hnrvnrd and tho American I Foreign Service. He lit a clgnret Ills hand wns shaking slightly. "Self-defcnso " he begnn. "Sure," said Terry, "but Hlldez Is In the doubtful column Just the same. Get her out of tho country, George, as soon as you ran. They hate Americans down here, you know that." (Copyright.

But eventually It will no longer aerve, and the earth will have a new North Star Vega. These two stars alternate as the polar star,- first one, then the other serves as the North Star. This Is due to the fact that the earth wobbles slightly as It turns. similar to the slow gyrations of a spinning top that Is slightly oil perpendicular. The earth's wobbling axis describes a circle every 20,000 year half that time the other. Vega will become the North Star In about 12,000 years. John M. Hogan began working for was 17 years old.
