She looked up, after replacing her change in her bay, and stopped to stare. Coming foward. her in the crowd of-hnme-bound office workers, was a figure about whom there was something vaguely familiar, It was a girl, a slender girl with very light hair and dark eyebrows and lashes--a rare yp» and one not easy to forget. Instantly Mary remembered. It was 'he girl whom she had seen in Jimmy Rand's arms that night in front oi the Mayfair Hotel. She wa: a very pretty girl, Mary thought--a beautiful girl. Yet the sight of her struck a hostile chord somewhere inside her. This was the woman that had come between her and Jimmy; she was the cause--however inngcent--of the misunderstanding that had led to their estrangement. What 'was there between this girl and Jimmy? What secret did they share? know how important it was that I find that girl." Why was it important? He had never told her. And yet, it occurred to her then, he had offered to, only something Mary herslf had raid "ad stopped him. A burning jealousy laid hold of her. She hatea this blond creature, with her delicate, arched eyebrows and her violet-gray eyes. "I'll ask her," she said half aloud, and stepped partly into Olga May- pard's path. Olga saw her, too, and a light of recognition was in her eyes. She eyed Mary coolly,. then turned her head AWAY. Mary could have touched her with her hand. She took an involuntary step toward th other girl and opned her moth irresolutely to speak. But ¢ the hesitated too long, and Olga was gone. The proper moment had passed. Mary stood where she was, turning to follow Olga with her eyes. Perhaps twenty yards away tne other girl turned for a backward look and her glance met Mary's again. Then she turned and was lost in the crowd. Sam Church had described this girl as a cheap hanger-on in the cabarets, . « . Well, it wasnt true, Mary forced "herself to admit, although she found herself wanting to believe it. But there had béen a certain refinement about those features... . / After all, Sam Church was a liar. And Olga, hurrying homeward. . . . The sight of Mary Lowell was only another bitter reminder that Jimmy Rand had promised to come to seeher again and hadn't. When she reachey her apartment she tore off her hat and studied her reflection in the glass of her dressing table. The light from the wall shone through her hair and wreathed her . head lik : a halo.

"You poor boy. Sit right down. Dinner, such as it is, will be ready in two shakes." . "] want you to meet the boys, M:. Rand." O'day indicated his two sor : who had come silently into the living room. "This is Francis. Francis is four- teen. An' this is Timothy. Tim's eleven." Francis shy and silent, admitted to Jimmy during dinner that he was in high school, and Timothy volunteered the information that he was in the sixth grade. "Tim," supplemented their father, "wants to be a lawyer. I don't know .about Francis. He hasn't the gift of gab like his brother. Maybe a doctor, or an engineer." "What are you going to be, Mr, Rand?" asked Timothy. "Be still, Tim," admonished Mrs. O'Day. "He'll be worryin' the life out of you with his questions, Mr. Rand," she explained to Jimmy. "Wel, I don't know, Tim," Jimmy smiled, answering his youthful ques- tioner. "You see, the war came along and interrupted my college career--I was just taking a general course in arts and sciences--and since leaving the army I've been selling: automo- biles," "Gee! Were you in the army?" Rand laughed at Tim's eagerness. ' "Sure." "Didja go over to France?" "Yep." Francis, the silent one, asked: "What branch were you in--the in- fantry?" "No, Francis; I was in the air ser- vice." Rapt admiration - 'held the boys speechless and spellbound for a mo- ment. Tim broke the silence, and there was downright awe in his next question. "Didja shoot ary Germans?" Jimmy looked apologetically at Murs. O'Day ard her husband, smiling. "Go on, answer the boy's question," urged O'Day. To his wife he said, with a nod toward Jimmy: "A brave lad, and he won't talk about himself unless Tim makes him." "Well," began Jimmy, reddening and turning to O'Day's sons, "I did happen to be with a squadron that saw some -action, and was lucky enough to bring down a couple of planes. But they got even. They brought me down, too, and I was in a German prison camp for four months." ; "Gee!" from Timothy. "I'm <tudy- ing the history of the World War in school." And he continued with his barrage of questions. : Under them Jimmy had to go into all the details of his adventures with that picturesque band that made up the air service during the late war. Tim's eyes popped as he heard about the machine gun bullet that had punc- tured the gasoline tank on Jimmy's plane. He wanted even to see the scar left by one that had plowed through Jimmy's shoulder. Jimmy had to explain for the more technical-minded Francis how the fix- ed gun that operated from the pilot's seat was synchronized with the motor, so the bullets could pass between the revolving propeller blades, instead of going through them and splintering them. "It was timed with the motor's can shaft," he explained to the attentive Francis. "In the two-seater planes the observer in the rear operated a mov- able gun that he could swing all the way around." "I've always thought," remarked Lieutenant 0'Day, "that it took a lot of nerve to fly one of them planes. Now I know it. I know what a sol- dier's life is like. I saw a bit of action in Cuba. But excuse me from flyin". I'll keep my feet on good old Mother Earth." "Not at all," laughed Jimmy. "You've got the wrong slant entirely. You take the infantry for example. Now, during the war, when those fel- lows were ordered to go over the top, they had to do it. In the air service it was a cinch. If we went up and saw an enemy airplane and didn't feel like fighting we could come down and blame it on engine trouble. There Rag. 00 engine trouble in the infan- ry. 'O'Day laughed boisterously. "You boys," he said, turing to Francis and Tim, "had better pack off to yoar room. There's a lot of studyin' to do." . » » * "1 got the sack today," said Jimmy. He and O'Day were still at the table, smoking, while Mrs. O'Day cleared off the dishes. He told O'Day how he had been fired for the second time for no apparent reason. "I don't know whether it's hard luck or whether somebody's hounding me. I got the same reason in both places. Do you suppose there's some kind of a conspiracy against me?" O'Day shook his head. "Darned if 1 can make it out, lad." He leaned back, puffing at Lis cigar, and eyed Rand with a peculiar look. "There's something on my mind, Rand. Your father's name was Hemy Rand, wasn't it?" "Yes " O'Day studied his cigar. "Did he come from a place named Durbin, in New York State?" ; | "Why yes, he did," Jimmy leaned forward eagerly, "That's where he was raised as a boy." 1 "Was his father named Thaddeus Rand?" "Thaddeus Rand was "my grand: father. 1 never saw him, though. Say, what do you know about my father?" (To be continued.)

Universe Moves About Sagittarius Sun and Earth Are Small Parts of Galaxy Which Fills Vir- tually Incomprehensible Space Pasadena, Cal.--The size, shape and age of the universe was recounted here in figures - intelligible only to those of mathematical mind. The three features were revealed at a seminar of the Mount Wilson Obser- vatory of the greatest groups of as- tronomers and scientists ever gather- ed together. Dr. Gustaf Stromberg, staff astrono- mer at Mount Wilson, was the speak- er. Among the statements he made to his listeners were the following: The galaxy, of which the sun and earth are only small parts, weighs 10,000,000, 000,000,000, 000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000 grams (10 followed by 42 ciphers). More than 300,000,000,000 stars, each the size of the sun, comprise this galaxy. Sun Far From Centre Sagittarius, in the southern hemis- phere, and not the sun, seems to be the centre of this huge space. In fact, the sun is some 40,000 light years re- moved from the centre. As to its shape, the galaxy is quite irregular resembling a pancake. Dr, Stromberg said. Its irregular motion is not due to "star streaming," as pre- viously belleved, but to lack of sym- metry. It takes our own calaxy mately 250,000 years to 1 Sagittarius. When Dr, Stromb. .; blackboard and cha i equations clear across i most delighted per in the room was Dr. Albert Einsiein, noted Ger- man mathematician, who owed to these astronomers tie proof of his theory of relativity. Having difficulty in explaining a point of his own, even in his native German, Einstein strode to the board and wrote what he called a simple formula upon it. approxi- tate about 5 expanse, the "Didn't the fire spoil your party?"
