"PRANKLY, I shouldn't care a . boot if sue thought I'd massa- - ered battalions of ber uncles," Ter- ince stated. "What the devil did she v want to corns butting In for tonight? There was no need for her to be tkera at all. She'd arranged with Lawson to have me kidnapped, and : Instead of letting him get on with the Job, as any sensible person would bare done, she bad to come barging In herself, turning the - whole buslnoss Into the last act of a film play complete with falr-balred . heroine registering lots of emotion. -That's tbe trouble with actresses they must have scones." :"There was a pause. Then' "I think you are an ntter pig," said Ruth In a tone of deep conrlc- : Uon. ': "What!" exclaimed Mahony. ... He looked at ber and saw, to bis surprise, that she was on the point of tears. "What's the matter, Ruth T" he asked In a concerned voice. ' . "I think you're beastly," an wered Ruth, a little Indistinctly. "But . . . why? For heaven's sake, .why?" demanded Mahony hopeless ly. "What havo I done?" There was another pause, while Ruth collected ber dignity. "I'm sorry I came barging In, turn Ing all your nice, neat little arrange ments Into a film play," she said in' a cold, haughty voice, "However, you won't be bothered with me any more." "Stop It, Ruth," said Mahony rudely. "Stop being all tempera mental." "I'M not being all temperamental," 1 answered, Ruth angrily. "You aid that Elsa came barging In. turning everything Into a dim play, and as I camo barging In, too, I must have done the same. Do you think 1 couldn't see what you meant?" "I- didn't mean anything of the ort," protested Mahony. "You . . well, you're different. You, didn't barge In that Is. not really barge in. I mean, we've been sort ol part ners ..." He found bla meaning very diffi cult to explain. "You are different," he went on. "You Just barged in because you wanted tr, so to speak ; you weren't Ruth Fraser, the fclrl heroine aveng ing ber uncle's death by vamping the deceitful villain, or Rutb Fraser righting a wrong by having the mis understood but well-intentioned young man kidnapped for his own good and insisting on being present when the kidnapping took place be cause tbe heroine must be in the big scene. , . , 1 hate all this drama. It gives me a pain In tbe neck." "Nonsense," replied Ruth. "You've been bebavlng like the perfect little film hero ever since I met you. And you're annoyed with Elsa because you're in lore with her and she made a fool of you." MAHONY was stung by this mon strous amii ha t Inn. Don't talk so damned wet," he said Irritably. "I'm not in lore with ber. You, know perfectly well I'm not In lore wltb ber. You know I'm In lore wltb you.l' , Rutb smiled slightly. Her expres sion was a little smug, like that of a kitten which has Just put away a saucer of delicious cream. Well, you needn't shout," she said primly. She looked ddeways at him out of tbe cornera of her eyes. He looked at her at the same moment. Sudden! they both burst out, laughing. Mahony took ber hand and drew her towards him. Let's get .narricd and clear out somewhere as soon as we can," he said. She shook her head. "No," Bhe said. "I couldn't do that. If 1 married you now, after all that's happened, It would be too much like the ending of a film story." "Stop It, you little hellcat," said Mahony, and drew her closer and kissed her. She kissed blm too. "Oh, well," she murmured. "If you Insist , . ." (Copyright, lost. Hugh Clevdtl) THE END Jacksonville JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 80. (Bpl.)

Ranked by many critics aa the greatest work In the history pf paint ing, the famous "L&At Supper" has experienced an odd career. Commissi onwt by the Duke Lodo vlco Bforza and the Dominican monks of Santa Maria dolle Grazle to paint a mural on the dining room wall of the Dominican convent at Milan, Leonardo da Vlncl began work on the masterpiece In 1408. Some ten years was spent on the work. When one of the convent officials suggested to Leonardo that he was taking too long, the artist threatened to pnlnt the on 1er tor's tce on the character of Judas, Da Vlncl was hurried no more. Painted on a plaster wall, "The Last Supper" soon showed signs of deterioration due to dampness, and suffered further misfortune when, in 1053, monks cut away a part of the fresoo, Including tho foet of the Savior, to make a doorway but this wasn't to be the worst desecration to befall the art treasure. When a conquering French army under the flag of Napoleon marched through Italy and Into Milan, troops were quartered In homes and build ings throughout the city. To the convent of Marin delle Ctrazle went a detnehment of cnvnlry, and In the room of the "Last Slipper" were sta bled the Frenchmen's horsest - Later the room came to be u&ed as a hayloft on one occasion It was filled with flood waters. Today Lt Is a national shrine. Each time the colors of the masterpiece have faded, they have been skillfully replaced. The painting at present Is In a re markable state of preservation.
