"Ton had rather a lucky escape, 1 understand." "Yes," agreed Mabony. "What 1 can't understand Is the extraordinary behavior of the people In the car behind you," went on Law son. "They must have seen the crash. What a rotten thing to do, to go on without stopping." His eyes, dark and Intelligent, were watching Mahony! expres sion with some curiosity. What be was really wondering, a Mabony guessed, was whether Mahony was aware that the people In that ear be- (Fur 7 V.-iT R4V t i Terence noted every man bind had caused the crash. With two engines racing all out, the crack of a pistol-shot might have passed un noticed. .... "I'eihaps they were In a hurry," suggested Mahony. "If was a dirty trick, anyway," Lawson said. During this short exchange of con versa tlon, though nothing bad been obvious to any spectator, the two men bad been quietly engaged In weighing one another up. Of the two, Lawson had the harder task, tor he bad not only to estimate the manner of man that Mahony was, but also to try to guess bow much, If anything, be know of the real causes of that motor crash.

"A MOST extraordinary young man," observed Mr. Little In a tone of disparagement, when Ma hony had gone. "He practically forced his way in here without any invitation, and stayed to tea. And asked the most Impertinent ques tions," "He came to eee me," said Elsa. "I didn't think he was so bad; I rubor liked bltn. I found hlra quite a pleas ant change after all the regimental hearties and terribly pukka little sahibs who seem to come here so much." Lawson laughed. "And which am I a reglmontal sahib or a terribly pukka Ilttlo beany?" he aeked In an amused tone "Neither," said Elsa. She looked at hlra consideringly. "1 haven't placed you not quite, she wont on. "But you're amusing. anyway." "Thank you," said Lawson, "And now, it I'm not being Impertinent, what were all the Impertinent ques tions he was asking? "He wasn't really asking Imperti nent questions," answered Elsa. "He only w anted to know whom 1 was jo int to the dance with tonight.' "Did he want you to go with hlra r asked Lawson. She smiled.

This la the first October in five years that there has been a measurable amount of water In the lake bed. The water surface extends 33 miles and Is about seven miles across. Goose lake began drying up In 1911 and was completely dry JO year latr. Jhe late Father Richard, well-known "Padre of the rains' of Pan Jcee, often said the lake would again be come a huge body of water, such as It was In the 90 when a steamboat was used to transport crops.

"He's a Journalist ot sorts, I be lieve," answered Lawson. "He's been In China for the last tour years as correspondent of an American news paper." "Oh I That's what be does, Is it," commented Mr. Little. "He struck me as being harmless enough." said Lawson. That was the conclusion which he had actually come to. It struck him that It was unlikely tbat Mabony had learned anything from Rost. and that, even if be had. there was little he could do except to warn the Lit ties, and bis warning would only pro voke derision. MAHONY had no Intention ot warning the Littles of visa's danger. He could only fio easily Im agine the effect of telling Vincent Little that Lawson was planning to kidnap bis niece. The old man would gobble with In. dlgnatlon like a turkey. Elsa would laugh, and they would at once pass on Information of the warning to Lawson, who would also laugb heartily, and postpone his attempt i 'V1 Vif J v H (At ftt 4r l U with whom Elsa danced. on Elsa till a moro favorable cca slon.

Harlequins, cardinals knights, South Sea lslnndorB, Pom padours, mingled In a colorful, rich ly dreBsed, good humored throng More and more people wore arriving every minute, and the bars were do Ing a roaring trade. Mahony's luck was In. As thi crowd was coming oft the floor after a dance, the sound of a snan'a inugb attracted his attention. Mahony knew that laugh. He turned, and bsw a tail, swaggering buccaneer lending a slim Queen of Hearts In the tllrec tlon ot a box. In spite of her mask the Queen of Hcnrts was obviously Elsa Little. For a couple at hours he loitered about, noting evory man with whom Elsa danced. He also noted carefully every man who passed him drosseo as an Arab sheik. Among all those people In fancy dress It was a fairly common costume, but he noticed two others which looked as If they had been made by the snmo hnnd as his. Dnmasklng was to be at midnight, and all the film stars present were to appear one by one on a platform and ba presented to the audience. At al out half pnst eleven, hanging about near the entrnnco to Lnwton's box, Mahony saw Klsa come out to dance with the Charles the Second. A couple of seconds later the Arab sheik came out alone. Soelng Ma hony standing near the bo. tt stopped snd looked at him sharply. "Better be getting along to en trance number three, hadn't you?" he said curtly. "There's only about fire minutes to go." Mahony felt a thrill ot antlclpa tlon. (Copyright.

It remained for Dr. W. rranklln Dove, a biologist at the University of Maine, to definitely prove that one-horned animals can exist. In spired by accounts of pllny and L Valllant regarding a method of pro ducing artificial unicorns, Dove com menced his experiments. In March, 1033, he performed complicated operation on a day-old male Ayrshire calf whlcn lncludod cutting the two horn bud4 and set ting them close together. The re sults of the experiment were a com plete success. Today, . the animal bears upon Its forehead the once fab ulous stamp of the unicorn. The two horn buds grew together forming one exceptionally large and long horn, molded Into the skull bones of the forehead for support.
