She smiled back at. him, Phil could be irresistible when he clure, He was a good catch, but Caroline was fond of him, too. The soreness that had been gathering in her heart at his open admiration of Beth eased a little and she was able to regard the party Arnold uad mentioned ay A necesiary evil in which she would play a gracious part to perfection, "Do we go backstage?" she asked now, "No, we'll wait here. Arnold's gone back to get Miss Shannon." "Swell Friends" In the dressing room Beth was surrounded by people clamoring to tell her how beautifully she had played her part. Ned and Frances were there, wanting her to zo out with them to celebrate, George lurked on the outskirts of the srowd his face so pleading that Beth beck. enell. him to her. There was no sign yet of Arnold, and Beth's heart was cold with fear now that hoe was detained in saying good-night to Phil and Caroline, and that she would not see Phil at all until ofe fice hours on Monday, i "please. Heth," it was George's volce low in her ear. "Picase Beth let me take you home tonight, You were wonderful {n the play, and T haven't seen you at all these last wepks, you've been so busy re. hearsing." | "I'N' have to change first." Beth said. "I can't go out on the street in this dress." | "Gangway," Arnold called goud- naturedly, appearing at that mo- ment, He cleared a path to Beth's side and said: "You're wanted for a little party in my apartment, young lady. Phillip Dane and Caro'ine Gibbons are coming and we'll go dancing afterward." Beth looked uncertainly at George. Of course she hadn't promised to let him take her home, Jot he probably considered that she bad. "Go ahead," he said bitterly, shouldering his way out of the srowd. "Go on with your swell friends, T can see that you havent' i10y use for me any more. Beth flushed with embarrass- ment. Every one had heard, but no one sald anything and George dis- appeared, "1't1 have to change mv dress tirst," she said doubtfully to Arne old. "Not a nit of it," he sald impa- tiontly, "That tulle frock {s just the thing for our party. Wash your taco, you don't need that much' make-up, grah your flowers and wme along." H 'But 1 haven't any wrap to wear yver this," Beth pointed out, "Only; my winter coat that T wore down) jere tonight." Conquest of Pride Arnold bit his lip in 'vexatfon. "Never mind," lie said after a mo- ment, "I'll lend you my fur-lined _movercoat to get to the ear in. My chauffeur's waiting, so you wen'l need a wrap except going and com- fog to the car." : "I hate to do that." "Oh, don't be foolish, Bethe pretend that you left your evening wrap at home If it makes you feel any better." "But you'll need your coat yous. golf--no, 1 won't take it. If you think it's all right I'll Just pil my own coat around my shoulders until we got into the car." "Good girl. 'Ready in ten min. les?" Peth promised, and at the end of that time she made her way out to the back of the audiorfum where Amo'd and Phil and Caroline were waiting for hes. She wag cotisclong of the queer picture she made with the cheap winter coat worn over that gorgeots evening dress, but sho held her head high for all Laat, It was Arnold's party, and if Arn. old thought it was all right she'd] do what be sald, She caught the quick seorntut] glance Caroline flashed at the outs, 1andish combination, eaught also the flicker of sympathy in Philip's / Beth could not know, of e, but Junardsy ou was, anplanding her pluck in ng vw iy eirta mivin Hike Caroline, fi n1e, wonld rather die than do, nat lovely roses," Caroline ex- | !

"Then I'll thauk you now for them," she said, and wok Arnold's offered arm to go to the waiting limousine, She clung te the shelter of her coat all the way to Arnold's apartment. To lay it aside and' reveal herself In her dress, which was just as becoming and probably just as expensive ar Caroline's daring one of gold snd silver, would have been, she felt, a confession of falee pride. She loved this rMing through the street filled with hurrying peoples The car was deeply cushioned, uv fously fitted, and it rested her to sink back in it, silent, listening only half-way to the chatter Caro. line carried on about plays and con. certs, coming-out parties and dun. ces. She did not miss the astonish. ed glance of the liveried doorman at Arnold's apartment "as the party, two men in impeccable evening clothes, a girl in an ermine wrap and herself in a cheap cloth coat with rabbit-skin collar and cuffs swent past him, She giggled to herself, really funny. when you oeame te think of it. She had never seen, ex. cept in the moving pletures, a room like the one Arnold took them not Long, high-ceilinged, with a wood tire crackling. and dancing in the fireplace at one end, lined with shelves of books, furdivhed with deep comfortanle chairs, tilled with flowers, After one gasp at {i beauty and comfort, she followed Arnold into the bedroom he indi. cated, where she and Caroline werd to lay aside their wraps.

Her own powdering finished--she had stepped tirst te the mirror as a matter of coursowe she waited impatiently for Beth to be ready, "It's a lovely room, fsn't it" Beth sald timidly, teeling that they ought to say somehing to each other, Oh, yes, all genuine early Amer. lean furniture.

EYE OPERATION ON AUTHOR SUCCESSFUL Baltimore, Jan, 30, -- For al. most 4 week Booth Tarrington has been cheered by the assurance of physicians and friends that his latest eye operation was going to be successful. Yesterday, the fam. ous American novelist literally had a chance to sec for himself, The bandages which have covve red his eys since the operation. performed two weeks ago by Dr. William Wilmer at the Wilmer Kyo Institute, an adjunct of John Hopkins Hosipital, were removed yesterday and a practical test of Mr. Tarrington's vision ended all doubt of the operations success. The operation concerned only the loft eye and consisted of the removal of a cataract, which fpr u long time had rendered the eye useless by covering the lense with an opaque growth. Removal of the growth, it was explained, necessitated removal of the lens of the eye itself. A similiar operation was performed successfully on Mr, Tarington's right eye last year. As explained by physicians, re. moval of the lens leaves the eye unable to focas until a replace. men Is effected by nature. For this period science contrived glass- es 80 designed that they virtually take the place of the missing lens and permit accurate focus without effort. Mr, Tarrington, it was said, will continue to be a patient at the hospital for some time, RACE BETWEEN RUM RUNNER AND CAPTOR (Canadian Press Despatch) New York, Jan. 29.-Johephing K., Canadian rum runner captus ed off Ambrose Light Saturday night after her master had heen mortally wounded by a coast guard shell, steamed down the bay today to race with the C.G, 145, the ship which shelled and seized her.

INDIAN Ottawa, Jan. 30. = An Indian Tomb, probably the last of its kind that will ever be found in Canada has been rocleved. here from Brit. fsh Columbia and will be added to the collection of almost price- tens Indian relies in the National Museum. The tomb is the work of some member of the Musquems, a tribe of which only some fifty re- main. ¥t is regarded as the best known example of the art of the Coast Sallsh Indians. The discovery was made on the north shore of the Fraser river near Vancouver. by Harlan Smith, Dominion anthropologist. and was taken to the national museum through the co-operation of the Department of Indlun Affairs, Elaborately carved, the relic takes the form of a wooded sep. ulchre mounted on a boat.like plat. form about eight feot in length, When found the upper part of the tomb, which is shaped like a large hox, contained bones which were interred before bringing the role to Ottawa. Mr, Smith bellevog that they are probably those of a chief of high rank and his wife. While the base showes consider. able decoration, the most striking feature is the carving of a group of four small animals on oné side. The animals are "skumudeeans" mythological sea otters. The carv- codar about 18 inches thiek and about three feet square, and was nrobably hewn out with an adze, The animals, each the size of a small dog, are lifelike in pose, and sculptured in considerable detail From the conventloal grouping and sophisticated quality of the art, anthropologists believe that the work shows the white man's influence, The state of preserva tion Indicates the tomb Is about 70 years old. Only one other example of this type of tomb Is known, It Is also In the possesion of the museum here. The recent acquisition will be placed on exhibition in a week's time after the wood is treated with chemicals to prevent further de- terioration.

It Is sald the two lads had strung a third up to a pipe by his neck- tie, and that arrival of the vietim's slater averted a possible tragedy. Refusal to give information on a J uvenllo prank and jealousy of the third lad's brightness, is thought to be the cause of the boy's action. In addition the boy on whom the attack was made, is 'said to be one of the fastest news. boys in the city. The tondency here, however, is to dismiss the incident as a child- ish joke. Residents think the boys meant no harm. B.C. LAKE MONSTER CRACKS THICK ICE Williams Lake, B.C., Jan. 80. Ogopogo is blaimed for a four or five-foot ice crack that extends al- most across Williams Lake, and fear of the monster is keeping the Indians off the ice. Nelice Balleau, the French-Can. adian who claims to have hooked and broken ogopgo's jaw two years ago, is here again, and is prepared to try conclusions with the lake glant once more. His outfit cone sists of two hooks facing each oth- er attached to a strong rope. He claims that when the fish grasps the baited hooks, one hook will sink into the roof of the mouth, and the other wil become inbedd- od in the lower jaw, and that if he is not able to land it, he will be at least able to choke it, as tug- ging on the line will cloge the mon.
