ESZHEHZH3KD By MARGARET WIDDEMER Chapter 43 Judge's Sacrifice BUT It u two day later btort Georg cam back, with Judg tn tha seat besld him. dusty and circled but still determined to fo away again tha moment b got th chance. "The police had called to say they thought It wai he they were holding at Philadelphia." George telephoned from th Tillage. "But I didn't want to aay anything till I mad lure." The little boy stood, defiant and pale and dirty. In the circle of anxious grown peopl in Eva'a living room. "Not goln' to itay, you can't make me!" : laid to them, ready to cry. Eve knelt and threw her arms around him. "Oh, you darling foolish baby, why didn't you ask before you went off? If you'd listened a minute longer you'd have heard me tall Oenny 1 wouldn't marry him, no matter wnat happened to you," rha said, careless of the listeners. " Twasn't thatl" Judge said and shut bis lips tight again. "Well then, what th nation was It?" asked Unci Henry impatiently. "Oliver, you ought to be paddled, big as you are, and I'll do It If you don't stop acting up like a fool. I thought you were as sensible a boy as aver I saw. Judge looked round at the circle of eyes and desperately gave in. "So you see yju ran off all for nothing." Judge, tired and shaken, flung him self on Uncle Henry and began to cry frankly. "He did like Eve. he did!" h wailed. "Everyon said so. Mattie and Adriano and all and Eve liked him. And now you've all changed round. I hate it, It's all mixed up" He went on sobbing till Uncle Henry put an end to the scene by picking the child up and carrying him to his own room. "What you need's a bath, and sup per in bed, son,'" he said sensibly. Th three left behind stood silent a moment "I have to be getting back to the Inn now," George said uneasily. "I'll drive you," Ellen said. She held out her hand. In Its bright-colored pique gauntlet, to Eve. It was. Icy cold. "See you later. Eve dear." jhj added with Just her usual smile. Eva watched Ellen's flying scarlet silk cape and gay scarlet heels going down the porch steps beside George's dusty golf clothes. Nobody was going to say anything. It had passed. Life would go on. . . . To Bide For A VThlle EVE stood watching till they were out of sight. She could hear the little boy sobbing on upstairs and Uncle Henry's voice quieting him And there seemed nothing anywhere, any more. . . . Nothing but th ever lasting ringing the telephone. She answered it, Mrs. Minturn over the Ridge; a loaf of bread, two dozen Some of the desolate, numb misery slipped away from Eve. " Twas on account of Georg then, If you must know!" h said angrily. "I wouldn't mind about Denny, he's not so hot But he did say any man would Jib at marrying with a boy hung around his neck and 1 knew 1 was why you and Georg didn't get married." "Eve put a desperate hand over his mouth, remembering too late that he had been away th whole week Ellen and George had been engaged, and In th confusion of th fir must hav heard nothing of it "Wa don't want to," ah began. Judge said doggedly, pushing down her hand, "I heard you by th wind break, the night of tha Ore. You said you couldn't but you wanted to. You said," ha blushed and evaded, with a small boy's self-consciousness, any mention of love "that you did, awtullyl Then the firemen cama be for I mad out why and whn I heard Denny I knew It was me. So I went." A V.M Boy Saba EVE dared not look at George, standing with his hand on the door lintel, nor at Ellen, very stlU beside Uncle Henry. She took a long breath Ellen was her friend, Ellen had stood by her when no one ls had "Judge, little boys Ilk you cant arrange things for grown peopl. You made a dreadful mlstak. It is Ellen George wants to marry. Don't you see how slHy you ware?" "Georgel" Judge's cry made Eva In spit of herself turn to where Georg stood with a stony fact, his knuckles white where he gripped the lintel. "I'm going to marry Ellen, Oliver, he told the child, even smiling a little. biscuits. And was th old Seymoui house burnt right down to the ground and was It true that George Clove land's experiments were ail burned up too? , . . She answered clvlly. sne took the order and gave the Informa tion. This was what her life would be from now on, foravermore. 1 Finally she could go from the houti' and the- sound of the child's crying. She could hide for a while. She ran down . the hall, her light skirts flying behind her, she fled out and between the tall rosebushes, the thick border of tail late sweet peas, to the rough stone steps that would give her the blessed shelter of her orchard. Tha narrow path among the gnarled trees received her like arms around her. The heavy scent of sun on ripen ing apples was In her face. Some thing of the desolate numb misery slipped away as she went blindly on among the tree trunks. This was the place which spoke most to her of George, where she should have been most miserable; strangely It com forted her, as she felt the last sun light on her shoulders and the twigs underfoot She dropped beside an old Jrei whose crotch mada a low wide seal, and crouched in It her head burled In her arms, as if It had been a living friend to whom she could com for comfort and protection. Far away sh heard tha sleepy birds; the wind was aweet across her curls. If she stayed here for a while perhaps she could be steady and go on. A twig snapped under someone'i toot She lifted her wet face. . George. (Copyright, ttsr.

LoT jf-eHtiraur GAMES HAViHS 29 RUNS SCORED AGfMNSTIHeNU -J906-- flreat Pyramid Mystery. Of all the unexplained mysteries of the past, the question of how the Egyptians came to choose the site for the greatest monument to their civilization stands among the fore most. It haa completely baffled the world's leading authorities on the subject for years and will probably continue to mystify tb.elr successors for centuries to come. Was the selection of the site due to sheer coincidence? If so. It was perhaps the moat amazing coincidence In all history. Scientists consider the odds against It having been a matter of chance too great to consider It as such. The tip of the pyramid marks the almost exact pivotal land balance point of the earth's entire land sur face. Lines drawn through It from east to west and from north to south would. If extended around the globe, divide the world Into four sections of equal land area. The lines would travel along the greatest land area over which any similar line could be drawn. Old the Egyptians know that they were selecting the earth's land cen ter when they chose the Oreat Pyra mid's site thousands of years ago when most of the world was cup posedly unknown to civilized man? Many authorities are convinced that they did know. The fact that the pyramid Is slightly off center only emphasizes their belief. The exact 5-37" u'N,a' BrdU, lac plVotal balance point of the earth's land area lies on a hill adjoining the pyramid. It Is as near the north ern brink of the hill as It was pos sible to construct a foundation for It Vet on what could these ancient builders have based their calcula tions? Were they masters of Borne science unknown to man today? Old they have charts of the size and loca tion of every great land mass on the earth thousands of years before Co lumbus opened up the New World? Was the selection of the site due to coincidence In spite of the tre mendous odds against Its having been chance? The questions seem to defy solution.
