Cassy talks the matter over with Dan and Dulee, and Dan leaves home, SEVENTEENTH INSTALMENT She walked to the door, Dan did not speak. Cassy glanced back at him dispassionately., opened the door, and went into the hall, She went up the cold stairs, quickly, evenly, and futo her bedroom, The window was open end the fira In the little stove had gone out. Cassy went to a window, - aml looked down at the yard. It was filled with softly undulating fog; the willows and peppers were by.) shadows, rounded and mys'erions, Tommy was playing with his red wheelharroy near the kitchen door Margaret had wend:red to the, kenuel, and was strangling av uneasy puppy in her fat, loving little hands. While Cassy watched the screcn door of the kitchen banged, ard Dan came out, or heart! rouse in her broast. "and plunged !lve a frightened thing, Dan stopped and picked Mar- garet up, and kissed her, When hé set her down among the puppies again, she instantly resumed her play. Tommy came up to his fath. er, and Cassy saw him jum» Tom- my to'the running board of his car und put some questionz to him, to which Tommy responded eagerly, Then Tommy went back to his play, too, and Dan stood by the car for a full minute--~for another min. ute<--pondering. After that he got In, and started the engine and the car wheeled on the old dirt roadway, turned out the side gate, and swept away un- der the two great bare maple trees into the all enveloping fog. 'Silenée followe Cassy .cantin- ued to stand motionless at the open window. "It can't be as simple as that." she said aloud, after a while, in a frightened tone. "Oh, Danny: Oh my God." Margaret, below, argn- ed and struggled with the pupples, Tommy continued to push his little red wheelbarrow busily to and fro, A solitary chicken, parading about the yard, gave vent to a desolate caw, "This can't be the end for you and me, Dan," Cassy said, She did not ery all that long, lonely day. mor in the wakeful night. © But a day or two later, cleaning the big kitchen closet with that frengy of feverish enorgsy that possesses women who dare not think, she stretched an exploring hand into the darkness of the top shelf, and found something there, and brought it to the light, won- dering what it was. The instant she saw it she re. membered. 'It was an egg poacher, -a 8illy, cumbersome thing that she had used experimentally once or twigs. She had fong ago abandon- She stood on the chair in the dim pantry, looking at it, And again she saw Mission Street and the bright evening lights shining into the eyes of a boy and girl, who lov. ed each other, again she felt the enchantment and exhilaration of that bewildering night before thelr marriage. when she and Dan had sallled forth from the old Dresden Hotel to taste the first intoxicate ing draught of their. love and youth and independence, Cassy got down from the chalr, and staggered rather than walked to the kitchen table and laid the little piece of rusted tinware there, In'the back of her mind pulses beat, like the steady, roaring, ris ing, pulses of the drowning, It was a hot, still orang, the kitchen doors were open, here 14 bowl of cherries on the table, péctant of luncheon; Tommy was crawling after a box which he pushed ahead of him across the linoleum, "They mustn't see me ery."

As a matter of fact, she was ox- tremely angry, and anger carried her proudly through the first three months of earthquake, when all Napa peered and gossiped, and her mother shed mournful and help- less tears, But as the summer weeks went by, empty pride and her neighbors' sympathy turned to ashes in her mouth, and Cassy found herself spending long hours staring out at the blue scene below Banta Bare bara, She svalked and swam and bask. ed on the beach but a deep lan: guor seemed to possess her, an al- most frightening 1ifelessness and apathy, The winter wae over now, and herself and the children were in the best of health; there was no money trouble, But Cassy: had never suffered in her life as she was suffering now, "What I can't understand," Mrs, Pringle complained, over and 'over again, '1s you and Dan separating. Why, your grandfather and grand- mother Pringle used to fight now and then, but they never thought of separating. Seems so funny--" "There wasn't so much divorce then," "No, and a good thing, too!" "They quarreled in those days. mama, but afterward there was nothing else to do but make it up." "There weren't women sneaking about trying to get other women's husbands, either," "Isn't it perhaps that divorce creates that class of woman?" "Well, they ought to be asham- ed to admit it, if it does!" "Divorce makes it perfectly leg- itimate to break up a family, mothe er, it you can." "Chasy, 1 can't bear to hear you talk that immoral way!' "It's not immoral, It's perfectly true, I'm just telling you what Dulee's viewpoint is." "Well, It doesn't seem to me it's your place to defend Dulce Var- ney!" And Cassy's desperate laugh, "My dear mother, I'm not defend- ing her! I'm trying as hard as you are to understand ft!' They went back to the ranch in August and on the rirst evening there overwhelméd by the empti- ness of the rooms that had known Dan's laughter and footsteps Cas- sy sat down to write to him 'Casgy's green pen began to move; she hesitatéd scratched again, "Dan dear we got home from Santa Barbara tonight, We had a vottage right on the dynes and the children both look like different creatures, Margarel 1s just burst. ing out of the last winter's flan. nel nighties and I'm only waiting to start the new ones until the weath- cr is cooler, "Mother's playing 'Spider', of 'course, She gets it, now and then, and goes on to some other kind of Patience, But she ulways starts with.

Cassy, standing by the porch table, continued to stand motion- less for a long minute, looking stonily ahead, Her brown fingers crushed the flimsy sheet slowly, but she did not look at it, , "Well--" Cassy sald clearly, in a dead sllence--"that's that," (To be continued.)

BAGHELOR JUDGE IN ENGLISH COURT PITIES HUSBANDS Says Suf From Men Suffer Anomalies of the Law London,--An action In which a wife sued her husband for damages for injuries received in a motoring accident caused Mr, Justice MoCar- die, in the King's Bench Division, to emphasize some of the anom- nlles that exist in the state of law as between husbands and wiv- es, Justice McCardie sald: "I find privileges given to a wife which are wholly denied to a husband, and I find that.upon a husband has fallen one injustice ater another." He hoped that before long the matter would receive the atten tion of Pardiamnent and that exist- ing obscurities of the law would be made clear and the present feat. ures of Injustice removed. These comments were made while Mr, Justice McCardie was glving judgment in an action from Leeds Assizes, in which Dr, Harry Kdelston, a medical health officer, was sued by his wife for damages for the loss of her left eye in a motoring accident, Before her marriage Mrs, Kdels. ton was motoring with the doctor and it was alleged he had a colli- pion through driving down-hill 25 miles an hour with the ights dim- med, The parties are happily mar- ried, it was stated, and the action is really against an insurance com- pany, Mr. Justice McCardie sald that the action called in striking fashion for a review of the lebal results that followed marriage in England at. the present time. Husbands were placed under burdens from which wives were free, "Husbands and wife are one in law' was writ. ten 800 years ago, and since then that doctrine of unity had led to infiumerable complexities, "I find it diMcult," he said, "to spe how the doctrine of unity can be said to operate at the present day, Husbands and wives have their individual outlook, They may belong to different political parties, to different schools of thought, The wife may be counsel in the court against her husband; the his wife." Mrs, Edelston's casé was that the negligence of her husband be- fore marriage gave her the right of action against him, According to the Justice, it wa swell settled action for the protection of her sep- arate property and for that purpose she could sue for breach of contract and tort, Bhe could also claim clroumstances. But In his work, "Husband ahd Wife," Mr, Justice Lush had pointed out that nowhere could the husband sue the wife for a tort in any cnroumstances what- soever, husband for a debt due from him before marriage, but the husband has no right whatsoever to sue his wife for debts due him before mar- riage. On the nd that only her personal safety and her pro- perty had been inj , his ledr. ship entered judgment for the de- fondant, without épsts, Golt in Canada's Parks Exceptional opportunities are provided in many of Canada's na- tional parks for the enjoyment of the Royal and ancient game of golf, Golf 'courses are located In three of the national parks in the West, tot Lakes, ton Lakes park course, that appéal both to the golf euthus. fast and the lover of scenery.

It has also heen ound persons 0 eat a "snack" before retiring, sleep well or better, than those who do not eat before going to sleep, hey dream---and pleasantly, The effect of coffee is rather psychological than physiological, the sleep authority said, and re- ferred to it as a "cooffee superstitu. tion," If a person thinks coffee will keep him awake, it will, "in our sleep laboratories in Colgate," he sald, "we've tried the experi. ment of giving our human guines pigs a dirnk which they thought was coffee, hut which had the caf- fein removed, and it had the tra- dtonal effect of coffer because that effect was what was expected' , Intoxeated by Coffee A professor of philosophy, "a most scholdrly old géntleman," Dr, Laird knows, he said is affected by a_i the mere odor of coffee to a, point of actual intoxication, He lays that to the "subctonsglous iden as- sociation," rather than the smount of caftein imbibed in by the ineb- riated old gentleman, A few other poingnant facts Dr, Laird has gathered in his inquiry plus wix years of experience in the field are! The average so-called intellecin- al sleeps less well thah his non. intellectual hrotber, He dreams more and ig aroused more easily, A heavy person. should not sleep on his back, This posture, by putting the weight on the internal organs, often from sixty to sev- enty pounds. in the spinal column, interferes with the blood supply, The long sleeper sleeps best, He should have at least a three-quart- ers or a full size bed, so that he can move comfortably every sev. enteen minutes or so, as the nor- mal sleeper does,, without subcon- scious fear of falling out on his oar, Bleeping on the stomach isn't so good hecause it puts on the dia- phragm the joh of moving the whole body, and one is likely to either bury one's nosivils in the pillows or get a stiff neck, Any man or woman who has to be awakened In the morning Isn't getting enough sleep, The judi. fdua)l who Is sleep-satinfled waios up of his own secord, Dr, Laird says that he hasn't made himself self-conscious with all this attention to sleep, He sleapy well, and plenty.
