As you know yourself, the cipher letter warning certain people in London of the comâ€" ing mid, passed through his hands. He even came here to warn you. There were other charges against him which could have been proved up to the hilt. While we are on this subject, Geraldine, let me finish with it abso- lutely. Only a short time ago I con- fronted him with his guilt, I gave him ten days during which it was my hope. that he would embrace the only hon- orable course left to him. I took a risk leaving l.im free, but during the latter part of the time he was watched day and night. If he had lived until this morning, thereis‘n’t any power on earth could have kept him from the Tower, or any judge, however merci- ful, who could have saved him from being shot.” “It is too awful," she faltered, “and yet it makes me so ashamed, Hugh, to think that I could not have trusted you more absolutely.” He opened his pocketâ€"book and a little flush of color came suddenly into her cheeks. He drew out the ring silently. “Will you trust yourself now and finally, Geraldine?" he asked. She held out her finger. “I shall be so proud and so happy to have it again,” she whispered. “I do really feel as though I had behaved like a foolish child, and I don’t like the feeling at all, because in these days one should be more than ordi- narily serious, shouldn't one? Shall I be able to make it up to you, Hugh, do you think?” He stooped to meet her lips. f‘There is an atonement you might make, dear," he venture-d. “Do you remember a suggestion of mine at one of those historic luncheons of Lady Anselman’s‘?” She laughed into his eyes for a moment and then looked away. “I was wondering whether you had forgotten that.” she confessed. (The End.) ..__w VVl’iy Hair Turnsâ€"Grey. The color of our hair is due to the secretion of a varying amount of pig- ment or coloring matter, which, in turn dependsdargely upon the per- centage of various chemical constitu- ents in our systems. For example, a pQI‘SOllflVilll a large amount of iron in his blood usually manifests this by dark hair and eyes, while there are other characteristics of blondes. brunettes, and red-faced persons which have been worked out to a varying degree of precision by students of human nature. As we grow older, this pigment loses some of its intensity. The liigbly- col- ored checks of childhood and youth are replaced by the sallow, asheu com- plexion of advancing age. and the hair reflects this decrease by turning a 511- very whit-e. Prolonged worry, fright, or lack of sufficient light also have a marked effect upon the pigment cells which supply the hair. On account of the fact that hair needs a large supply of pigments, brunettes turn grey much sooner than fblondes, while persons with extremely light hair frequently go through life without any alteration in color. thouin ‘ usually their hair loses most of its life and lustre. __.__9___~_..

It brought to light some of the earliest houses built in Europe.

In many cases the bungalows were so numerous that they formed a little town. which was connected with ilie land by a long narrow bridge, either end of which could be raised in a moment. .1 ._._. Work and Weather. It has been found that there is a dis- tinct relation between one's capacity for work and the intensity of the light in which that work is performed. After the sun turns northward, for instance. at the close of the year. the gradual increase of the natural light leads to a rise in the average man‘s working powers. This rise continues throughout the spring, and is arrested only when the summer heat begins to have its effect. During the hot months the favorable influence of the light is a good deal counteracted by the enervatiiig tem- perature; but when, in the late sum- mer and early autumn, the tempera- ture has fallen,-tl1e capacity for work again increases. Then, when the dark days return, the effect is seen in the diminished output of the worker. This apparently becomes more noticeable if the weath- er is unusually cold with the darkness. A dark, cold winter, therefore, is much more likely to affect one‘s work- ing capacity adversely than a. dark, warm one. There is an additional advantage with the latter. it seems to the writer, namely, that a dark, warm winter would mean a lower air pressure than if the winter {were cold. This lower air pressure would most probably be good for the health of both the manual and brain worker. .Oâ€"r â€"â€" a Finding Ships in FrogS.‘ Although the use of the liydrophone, the sound-conveying instrument by means of which ships detected the presence of submarines during the war is in its infancy, steps are being taken to apply it to comui‘ercial .uses. It is suggested that it would be of great use in determining a ship’s posi- tion at sea in a fog. Four or live liydrophones would be placed under water about five miles apart, each be- ing connected by a cable to a record~ ing station ashore. ‘ A second recording or receiving sta- lion would he established at a suitable distance, the two stations forming the extreiniies of a base of known length and bearing. working limits of these two stations could have her position determined by dropping a depth charge. The position could be obtained by photographically recording and meaâ€" suring at each station the differences in time of the receipt of the sound of the explosion. From these differences of time a line of direction or bearing ‘ of the source of the explosion and the " position of the. ship could be ascertain- .‘ ed. 0 0 Seeing Our Breath.

But his iii-nine is the- "talk of the. town." W'ilh great pride he exhibits the books of his Electrical Business, which show a net profit of $750 a month. Pence himself says that two years ago he never dreamed of earning so much money. At that time he was making $30 a week and wondering if the time would ever come when he could buy anything he wanted. like he now is able to do. Owes Success to Electricity. Pence doesn‘t talk much about his success. He isn‘t that kind. But when he does talk about Electricity and the great future which it holds for men and boysâ€"lie hits "right from the shoulder." Without any reservaâ€" tion he gives all credit for his amaz- ing success to the thorough Electrical he has received in spare time during the past months. But let Pence tell his own story. Read his letter dated October 9, 1921, to L. L. Cooke, Chief Engineer of the Chicago Engineering Works: “Dear Mr. Cooke: Less than 2 years agol was an ordin- ary mechanic earning $25 to $30 a. week. To-rlay, thanks to you, I am an “Electrical Expert,” in business for myself, and making over $750 a. month. My success, Mr. Cooke, is entirely due to the invaluable help you have given me. The thorough. practical training I secured through your Easily- . learned, Spare - Tiine, Home,- Study Course in Electricity, has made me financially independent, and a highly respected business man in this com- munity. Sincerely yours, W. E. Pence." For 15 years Mr. Cooke has been training men at home during their spare time, for Big Electrical Posiâ€" tions, and he has received thousands of letters like the above. His system offers every man, regardless of age, education, or previous experience, the chance to become, in a very short time an “Electrical Expert,” able to earn $3,500 to $10,600 a year. Electrically-Trained Men Scarce. Because of its prominent position in the Electrical Field, The Chicago En- gineering Works frequently is called upon, by industries in the larger cities in the United States and Canada. to supply trained nicn for electrical work. To meet these demands l‘vll‘. Cooke is now enrolling a Special Class for He expects to develop from this “Electrical Experts" who can go out and take over the big Electrical jobs that are now open.
