not till after lunch that she found herself alone with tony given a chance to say anything to him he had taken her out to shov her the car he had secured to finish the journey to monte by road and no collisions on the way with me at the wheel he laughed down at her as she stood by his side pretti ly pale and looking up at him grate fully ive still to thank you for saving me after the one last night tony she reminded him shyly 1 owe you my life i know i only wish you meant that so much as to trust nie with the rest of it ho seized her hands his eyes burning bright with eagerness maybe ill think about it she smiled up at him you mean that sylvia he held her close with a sudden possessive ardour thats talking precious that brotherlove business 1 couldnt have stuck it long you know im

feels florrle has a de finite dislike for her paula warns her or fortune seekers especially john christopher fellows on the way to monte carlo the train is wrecked to soften their effect a little and rhow that she was not really annoy ed sylvia presently began to quest ion her in the hope too of learning something more about her than she knew at present i suppose youve been some time with mrs carmichael florrie she asked a little over a year miss i came with her from shanghai oh then you perhaps knew my uncle i did that miss and a very nice old gentleman he was i was- in his tmploy before mrs carmichael took me on as her maid then thats all the more reason why you and i ought to be good friends florrie you were lucky knowing my uncle i wish i had it wouldnt seem so much like taking money from well almost a complete stranger for thats all uncle seems to e maybe miss sylvia as i took the liberty of saying to you in paris it might not have been the best thing for you coming into the money what a jeremiah you are flor rie sylvia laughed putting final touches to her brown silken curls in front of a mirror why should you think anything so utterly silly as that where theres money theres most ly trouble miss sylvia the girl answered after a moment of marked hesitation im sure i cant see any where my moneys concerned florrie sylvia rhrugged at least not to me i only hope that may prove always ro miss meaning florrie sylvia swung round from the mirror youve got i can b as quick as all that youll some good reason for believing that wont be the case what sort of trouble have you in your mind that i couldnt say miss the girl colouring in confusion bent down over her work of packing i was thinking most of all of the trouble theres already been between your uncle and mr fellowes which was to do with the money you know about that then flor rie i was working in your uncles house at the time miss my mother was sort of housekeeper to him before she died and mrs carmichael came along i was bound to hear what was said you see you mean bout my uncle find ing out that mr fellowes had been well been defrauding him sylvia said with a little shrug of distaste- some told one story miss have to wait and see if i can catch up with you- ive begun by being grate fuleternally grateful if thats good enough start for you quite good enough sylvia dear he laughed pressing his lips to her hand which he had caught in his ill have that gratitude changed to love before ever you know where you are multiple births dionne quintuplets fix 1934 in medical history rouse interest

on dis covering even greater nearmiracles says a writer in the nov york sun what do you think some told another answered the girl and shook her head emphatically but none of us ever believed that of mr fellowes not for a moment anyhow mrs carmichael told me it was the truth sylvia eyed the girl puzzled if she did miss then she must have had her reason it wouldnt be for me to contradict mrs carm ichael and nothing would induce florrie to discuss that subject any further indeed almost immediately after wards she made some excuse to leave the room hurriedly sylvia was left to ponder over this problem for her self she would have liked to believe as the girl did about john chris topher but which was most likely to know the real truth a mere servant in her uncles house or paula carm ichael who was far more likely to have enjoyed his confidence in any case of course the truth about that mattered neither here nor there now as a question of any im portance john christopher had ceas ed to have any existence where syl via was concerned she had no busi ness to bo thinking of him at all and she was sorry that this girl hadso needlessly and disturbingly brought him back to her mind she

chapter ix discovery before she knew where she was at any rate sylvia discovered that she had been in monte five whole weeks time when it flies on the wings of fortune is beyond all calculation of speed sylvia was surprised to find how long she had been here by now the inheritance which had brought her here had become so much a part of her daily life that it had lost all sense of newness in her mind it had lost much of its original glitter moments had come indeed especially in the last couple of days when she almost wished she could be poor again at any rate for a little while and could hide away somewhere in a quiet place put on really old clothes and not have to talk not have to meet anyone at all sylvia had begun to realise that the social life of a wealthy girl like her self can be even more exhausting than exhilarating that once it ceases to be a fresh experience it leaves a sense of disappointment behind it she had often read in the newspapers revelations of lives led by what were called the idle rich in mayfair and she had rather envied them at the time but here after five weeks of monte in the full flood of the riviera season sylvia was not nearly so envious not that she had ben actually unhappy she had little time to be that or lo thing at all it was not even possible to think when she snuggled down in her luxurious bed at some unearthly hour in the morning she was always so ready to drop straight to sleep and her waking hours were so full so continually interrupted that ser ious thought never had the least chance and of course she must have been making a hole in her inheritance or thought she was doing so paula had laughed at her a while since when she had suddonly wondered if she was not spending far too much paula said that eightythousand pounds in

the world since the widely publicized arrival of the five dionne sisters and almost daily news sometimes all too inac curate comes of more birth wonders for instance twins were born to a woman in an obscure rumanian vil lage the other day and through some error word got around that she had borne scxtuplets it caused a oneday furore in medical circles for while science has authentic records of the birth of thirtythree sets of quin tuplets since the year 1694 only twice have there been unquestionable births of sextuplets then there is the tragic and true story of a man who while reading about the dionnes was informed that his wifo had given birth to quadrup lets he dropped dead leaving aside a number of quaint medieval legends about multiple births there is no record of more than sin children being born at one time and science therefore is inclin ed to set that figure as the limit case in italy the first authentic case of sex tuplets occurred in italy in 1888 these were born prematurely and died within a few minutes the sec ond took place on april 19 1903 at acora on the gold coast of africa the mother being a native woman who already had given birth to quad ruplets and two sets of triplets the tiny scxtuplets all died within four days the chances of sextuplets surviv ing therefore seem practically nil but medical history shows that the chances of tho dionne quintuplets were almost equally slim neverthe less these youngsters have gone right on establishing a world record every hour of their lives the longest any member of a set of quintuplets ever lived before was fif teen days yet not one but all of the little dionnes are still growing and thriving as the second month follow ing their birth near its end examination of medical literature on multiple births reveals some fas cinating facts in not one of the thirtythree authenticated cases of quintuplets have they been born to a woman previously without children all of the mothers had borne at least one child and the average was 53 statistics show that quintuplets are most likely to be born to women be tween tho ages of 30 and 35 ap- uinb jo si3ioiu am ibi 0minxoid and a number of them brought twins triplets and even quadruplets into the world after producing the quin tuplets boys predominate although all five of the dionnnes are girls boys ro greatly predomin ant in quintuplet births the ratio is about 155 males for each 100 fe males- the last previous birth of quintup lets in america was that of the fam ous lyons boys of kentucky born april 29 1890 their parents had seven children previously one at a birth the quintuplets were born within the short space of twelve min utes and seemed perfectly normal and healthy they weighed together 21 pounds as compared with the 13 pounfis g

with large side cutouts left or of brown kid right with flaring scalloped cuff summer complaint 1 onta tno at ed the dionnes yet one of the boys died four days after birth and all had suc cumbed by the fourteenth day the worldwide attention focused on thedionnes brought a claim to the honors of an even greater miracle from members cf the bushnell family but lacking incontrovertible scientific data medical science was unable to grant the claim it was in brief that sextuplets were born to a mrs bush nell in chicago in 1809 and that four of them still live the other two were carried off by typhoid after living several months was 100 per cent until the little dionnes began hanging up their records the mor tality of quintuplets and sextuplets was 100 per cent within a fortnight of birth quintuplets however lived longer than sextuplets as a rule quadruplets are far less rare and several sets of them have lived to maturity one such set recently ap peared in a broadway musical comedy but the chances of survival for quadruplets are less than for triplets and triplets have a slimmer chance comparatively than twins but all the cold scientific facts about multiple births fade when com pared with medieval legends one of the most famous deals with the haughty margaret countess of hol land whoflourished in the early part of the fourteenth century the tale like so many of its kind carries a fine moral as related in mauriceaus the diseases of woman with child and in childbed is follows 365 children but i esteem it either a miracle or a fable what is related in the history of the lady margaret coun tess of holland who in the year 1313 was brought to bed of 365 children at one and the same time which hap pened to her as they say by a poor womans imprecation who asking en alms related to her the great misery she was in by reason of those children she had with her to which the lady answered she might be content wi the inconvenience since she had the pleasure of getting them 315000 deaths unless one is a fatalist statistics on the destruction of human life are of immediate personal importance like a railroad time table or a bank statement figures many mean nothing or everything depending on ones situation but it will be hard to find anyone who will not sit up in sur prise when tho statement is niado that 125000 persons have been killed by autc accidents since 1930 and that between now and 1940 190000 persons will be added to this total for the decade beginning in 1930 fatalities will mount to the stagger ing sum of 315000 a total equal to half the population of

enumerate caus es for automobile accidents but tho latter are as veil known as their synonym carelessness for the former it is only necessary to state that the figures given above ar based on the harvest of automobile deaths during the past four and a half years the moral is as plain as a traffic stoplight no man can be sure that ho will not be one of the 315000 san francisco argonaut wilh about twelve gases that will either kill or incapacitate and wih sbells loaded with explosives that will blast a licle thirty feet deep it is evident enough that modern warfare is essentially chemical in its nature yet differing with the statesmen wiio compose international conventions de signed to preserve the peace it is not gases or explosives or other diaboli cal ingenuities that professor ward v evans of northwestern university would abolish in preventing war con trol a handful cf rare hut itidtpeu- sible metals such is his formula in a paper written for the american chemical society professor evans points out that both modern civitiza tion and war as we know them are- impossible without such metals as i cromium vanadium nianganeso and i nickel without these we would have to go back to bows and arrows to light and conquer what the war showed to make his point clear professor evans tells what happened during the world war great britain had obtain ed her tungsten from south burma her own possession the metal is needed for highspeed tools by which nearly all steel cutting is done ger many refined the ore and sent it to england at the outbreak of the war great britain cut oft the supply ot tungsten from germany whereupon germany substituted molybdenum bought at a high price from norway tie british checkmated this move by cornering the available supply of the metal nickel steel will also cut well so germany turned to nickel which came from canada was bought by norway and sold by her to central europe many a british soldier was killed by munitions made with the aid of canadas nickel the lesson is obvious stop the traf fic in rare metals so necessary in modern industry and tst is impos sible at least on tho scale on which it was waged from 1914 to 191s
