"Of course, Michael. Even you--" Diana paused, and here eyes measured themselves with "You mean if I'm not a at least I can attempt to behave like one," he said, hating her at that se< ond, as she shrugged her shoulders. He had gone back, as Diana knew he would, but since thai first evening Michael Borde had been a steady loser. Yet he was fascinated by the green table now, night after night sitting there, smiling grimly, joining in with the patter which came glibly to him after the first week, and ther to the surprise of Diana Hamill-Hardy, a favorite with the others of her, set. She had sneered at him before, but a curious feeling of something approaching respect held her now sometimes as she watched him. Turning back towards the mirror, Michael Borde frowned. Miss Crick had laid on his desk the schedule of the holidays of the staff. Holidays. The word made him think of the country, and caped him. He had postponed going down to Werburge Lucy again and again because of Diana's insistent demands that he should keep s appointment with her, or ...... he must be honest with himself, cause that fever fer the tables held him here. A gambli smiled at the idea, although he knew his losses had been heavy. "I shall stop when I've made up what I've lost. Nobody will get me to touch baccarat or chemmy again," he said. " THE MORNING AFTER. Sound-proof walls. Yea, the noise of traffic was lost, but his head ached like blazes. He was feeling worn out, frazzled, altogether done in. With a quick, uneasy glance, Michael Borde opened a drawer of his desk, and took out something at which for minute he gazed with suspicious dislike. He had always derided the idea of drugs, sneered at men who took pat-medicines, and regarded as weak- SCIENTISTS FIND FASTER WAY TO RELIEVE COLDS Ache and Discomfort Eased Almost Instantly Now When you have a cold, remember the simple treatment pictured here . . . prescribed by doctors everywhere today as the quick, safe way.

"I've got to get Dutch courage or something that'll give me tongue. Old Trottenleigh gets one into a corner with his country gentleman, J.P., attitude, but if the rest are cowed, I'm going to tick him off nicely this afternoon." Nevertheless, his hands were shaking a little as he tilted a little white powder into a glass. Multi-Motors ........ Multi Motors . . ....Multi-Motors ...... it was on his writing paper, he had been proud of the name, as proud as he was of the car he had fathered. Now there was this new Combine, bringing out a rival car, he had heard all sorts of rumors, but nobody seemed to know who was behind it, but apparently there was plenty of money. It was not only that was disquieting. Lately Multi-Motors had lost two of its most efficient managers, men, who at the end of their contract, announced simply that they no longer wished to continue working for the firm. At first Michael Borde had refused Multi-Motors' iployee would which he had erest. They . But what believe this. Leave Why, not a single drop out of a firm i a downright living : were all share-holder Bigger money, of c did money count? "We can't afford to let good me go. Must offer them a better screw, ran his thoughts, and he tried to ri member in what way he had ever failed to be fair. "Now, remembering this, rem bering the fact that both men 1 left and left abruptly, again that easiness returned. "I wish to goodness I'd stuck this and left the City alone," muttered. "If it hadn't been for Diana....." there he stopped short. No, he would not blame Diana, although but for her he would never have met Trottenleigh. If it had been for Werburg Lucy, he would never have met Diana. So it was all arguing in a circle again, which seemed to him was what he was doing lately with everything. Opening another drawer, he drew from this a photograph of the old grey house, and gazing at this his face softened, so that coming in with letters for him to sign before leaving, Miss Crick caught her breath. "Why, the Chief is looking himself again," ran her thoughts. He looked up, smiled, laid down the picture, and pointed to it: "What do you think of thi3, eh, Miss Crick?" he asked. She studied it for a minute or so. "Nice old house, t should think, she replied. "It's mine," he rejoined pi &8.»r that b.Q'AS/j ^b^a^I and it meant more to me than Buckingham Palace.

A dimple appeared on one side of r mouth. He had never noticed before how attractive was her smile, but it was a long time since he had felt warmed up, willing to talk anyone. The Tudor house had transformed him. "Henry VIII. isn about, I should ims demurely. "Howev old place.

ODORLESS CABBAGE Is Perfected After Six Years) Of Research On 4,000 Cabbages Ithaca, N.Y--An odorless cabbage, something new in the vegetable world, was announced last week at Cornell University. It will not "smell up the house" while cooking; yet dietically and gas-tronomically it is a perfect cabbage. The way Prof. C. H. Myers of the department of plant breeding got rid of the odor proves women have been right in turning up their noses t The old, familiar "smell' turned out to have been only an evolutionary hang-over which disappeared when good breeding was introduced. It took 4,000 cabbages and six years to produce the aristocratic vegetable. Each year Professor Myers -uprooted a few of the most sturdy early savoy cabbages in Cornell experimental gardens and placed them in cold storage for about two months. This gave the young cabbages a "rest." It wa? part of the "hibernation" which many plants require to reach their best. Then he replanted the cabbages in greenhouses. There an expert substituted steel tweezers for bees, butter-flies other undiscriminating pollen spreaders. He took pollen from the antler of one cabbage flower and placed it on the pistil of another Thus seeds were obtained perpetuating the best cabbage strains. This went on for five years, with cabbages annually getting better. This year, the sixth, the new quality appeared. The cabbages have lost their odor, but retained all the other qualities.

All leaders in their class si Rubber Street Paving May Save Ancient Colleges at Oxford Oxford, Eng.--Rubber paving may be the remedy which will save many of Oxford's ancient buildings now being shaken to pieces by modern traffic. By providing a soft cushion for the trucks and busses which rumble through Oxford's streets, Sir Michael Sadler, Master of University College hopes to keep the four-century-old cloisters and quadrangles from tumbling into ruins. His own college is one of those most seriously menaced. He proposes that an experimental strip of rubber paving be laid at a cost of $135,000 on High Street, the city's main traffic artery and the chief highway to London. By 1940 he hopes to see other important streets similarly paved, and two bypasses built to route most of the highway traffic outside of the univer-Ity district. Describing traffic vibrations as "a reeping sickness attacking the stone and plaster of the ancient buildings," Michael said that some of the finest architectural relics of England are being gradually destroyed. Recent experiments showed that the 'vertical vibrations alone are roughly equal to the force of a blow given each square yard of the structure by n of weight falling from a height ne foot every day of the year." These shocks are set up by nearly 17,000 motor vehicles passing through the university district daily. University, Queen's Oriel and Brasenose Colleges and the famous Magdalen tower are in the greatest danger. The Tudor stonework was never meant to stand such wear tear, Sir Michael pointed out.
