"Expect to meet a horse tonight, Wetherel?" Will ignored him. He was bend- 'ing over to finish lacing his pictur- esque knee boots. They set out southward toward the athletic field. Eve, walking be- tween two swains at the head of the procession, and the others fol- lowing in twos and threes, The night was clear and cold, with a black velvet, star-studded sky. Eric walked moodily beside Ju- dith. She could hardly keep her feet from dancing. At last he broke the silence. 'You didn't think the admirat"#n of fhose morons at the frat house meant anything, did you? Gad! Their sheep's eyes and thei bawlings around that piano. I fdit ashamed for you." Wetherel dropped back to walk with them, and Judith giggled to herself as Eric's breathing became shorter and angrier. "I'm going to sing to you tonight, Judy," caroled Will, "as I've never sung to a woman. And if you don't melt to the strains of my lute, I'll jump off Lover's Leap in my des- pair." a "Excellent idea," said Erie. "You'll fall into Farmer Jones' pig pen at the foot of the cliff." Wetherel and Judith laughed. Even and her companions had gone far ahead and the three I1oi- terers hurried to overtake them. They climbed a hill that led to the precipice overlooking the broad meadow of the Little Coon river, and found Eve standing on a high table of rock at the summit. "Hurry," she called. "The moon will be up in about five minutes." They broke into a run. Eric ran alone, leaving Wetherel to aid Ju- dith. They brought up breathless- ly beside the vanguard. Below them, toward the east, the blacknes was thick and 'limitless. Judith stepped a little farther from the edge, and shivered slightly. She glanced around the little circle, now ' strangely silent. Then she started. "Will," she said in a low tone, "there were ten of us when we started, and now there are el- even!" "You counted wrong," said Will, absently. He was taking his uke- lele out of its case. "There she comes," shouted some- one, pointing eastward. All eyes turned toward 'the moon- A faint red fan was spreadihg on the eastern horizon. Between it and the cliff the invisible meadow brooded and an 'invisible stream made little lapping noises audible to the party on the rock. "The moon is a blood red lantern carried on a long stick by an old mandarin," said Wetherel striking a chord. "Shut up," snapped. Eric, across the circle. But Wetherel continued to strum on the ukelele. The red disc climb- ed slowly to full view, and the mea- dow below filled with the pale re- flection. Wetherel stepped close to Judith. "You and the moon," he whispered. "Two gorgeous red-heads." He struck up a ringing accompani- ment on the ukulele, droning the words in a shaky tenor. "For heaven's sake, Will," tested Eve, "don't sing." - ' from pro- He gave her a hurt look. The rest of the party sat in silence, while the moon climbed up the arch of the eastern sky. Wetherel's . minor strains died away. : There was a sharp noise as Erie sprang to his feet. 'Well, where's the far-famed bottle Kitty ing to. provide?" Someone him a bottle, and Eve called out, **Easy there, Eric. "This party has a long walk home. Better keep your wits clear." Eric laughed harshly. "I how to take care of myself." He was walking .restlessly around the rock table. Judith turned her back on him. A moment later he stepped be- tween her and Wetherel. "When are you going to stop mooning over that fop, and making a fool of me?" he demanded. Judith answered sweetly, smiling up at him, 'Make a fool of you? It can't be done. You've made a fool of yourself." He left her. Eve was seated near the edge of the cliff, leaning her head against a tree stump. Her eyes followed the moon. "Lucky little planet that," she mused, to Judith. "All dead. No warmth, no rain, no seas, no rivers, no plants, no animals--and no ugly little human beings crawl- ing over it." . "That's a dismal outlook," Judith. Eve sat up suddenly and looked at her. "You're the first woman I've liked in a long time, Miss Martin. And I didn't mean to like you. You see, you've grabbed too many men at once. But I don't believe you schemed to do it." "Still, you're dangerous. Erie, Will and Peter Dorn are falling for you. I'm not worried about Eric getting hurt. He can take care of himself. Will hasn't the capacity to be damaged seriously.

The inaugural ball is taking place in the Merassim Kiosk, built by Abdul for the Kal. ger's visit. In the vast salon gam- ing tables are overlooked by the Sul- tans dais and throne, and there are special jazz and Charleston rooms, More than 100 prominent Turkish women are taking part in the in- augural dance, to which the Prefec- ture issued invitations. Towards midnight illuminated fetes will take place in the palace grounds. The transformaticn is the result of the enterprise of an Italian group to attract tourists and obtain muni- zipal revenue by trying to turn Con. stantinople into a second Monte Carlo. Yildiz is one of the most magnifi- cent palaces in the world. It still contains wonderful art treasures, in- cluding almost priceless collections of Chinese porcelain and the daz- zling Imperial jewels. WILL TAKE STAND Believes Jury . Will Rebuke State Senator Alex. Simpson New Brunswick, N.J., Oct. 20.-- Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, under in- dictment for the murders of her husband, Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, will take the stand in her own defense, she an- nounced today. ; teferring to the trial set for Nov. 3 and to State Senator Alexander Simpson, special prosecutor, she said: "When that day comes I feel that he (Senator Simpson) will re- ceive from the jury the rebuke he #0 richly deserves and that New Jer- sey will again had a fit place to live in." She also denied charges of brib. ery during the investigation of the murder four years ago and repeated her offer to let Senator Simpson ex- amine her bank account. As to the wealth of her family, she said her own never exceeded $300,000; her brother, Henry Stevens, $175,- 000; her brother, Willie Stevens, $260,000 and her cousin, Hemry Carpender, $140,000. IN CIVILIZATION and Talk Like Their Ancestors New Haven, Conn., Oct. 20.--Civ- ilizatlon hasn't improved much dur- all the recent discoveries of science, the wide distribution of books, and the changes in the world's economic and social life, Professor Robert A. Milliken, internationally prominent poysicist, said recently at Yale Uni- versity. Professor Milliken is di- fornia. He won the Nobel prize in physics in 1923, the same year he regarded in the scientific world as having preven the Einstein theory cf relativity to be accurate. "The more intimately one gets in touch with any civilization of by- gone days," said Professor Milliken, "the more he is struck by the simi- larity between the way people lived and talked two or three thousand vears ago and the way they live and talk and think now. "The beauty of women, the strength of men, the flavor of straw. berries, the aroma of flowers, the love of friends, courtship, marriage and divorce, the race track, the wrestling match and the boxing bout, all of those played almost exactly life smashed by a reckless young woman who doesn't give a fig for him." "Nonsense," said Judith, flushed uncomfortably. - The rest of the party had made a small bonfire on the edge of the woods, and their shrieks over the marshmallow-toasting floated out to the two women at the edge of the cliff. . "Ow, that burnt my tongue!" they heard Will moan, and feminine laughter followed his complaint. Eve rose and walked toward the bonfire. "Hush," she said. They listened. The bells of the far-off campus were striking midnight. There was a general scramble for hats and sweaters. The boys were stamping out the fire. "Judith," called Eve, "you and Eric come along." Eric and her cohort began to walk slowly down the 'hill. Judith rose and stood looking at the moon for one last moment. She could Hear Eric's footsteps among the trees at her left, where he had been sulking for the last hour. The voices of the rest of the par- ty sounded very faintly, then died away altogether. Judith turned. The person who stepped out of the trees was not Eric. He was short agd thick-set, and even in the pale moonlight, she recognized the heavy jowl and plaid, but she necktie of the man she had seen on the same role in the lives of the peo- ple of Rome as they play in the lives of the people of New Haven or New York. And it is about these things, too, that about 90 per cent. cf the interests of the average man revolve, "Even in what are called the higher things of life can we De truthfully said to have made, or to te making any real progress. That question has been raised, and often answered negatively by literary men of reputation, sometimes even by philosophers and: occasionally also py divines. In Tutakhanien's tomb are found evidences of artistic de- velopment, 3,000 years old, quite the equal of our own. Greek sculpture and Greek architecture we can but feebly imitate today.' _ "In intellectual power we do not surpass, even if we equal, the Ath- enians or the Alexandrians. ".

"Your friend Waters is asleep under a tree back there," he said. "Had too much Scotch, I guess." He grinned at her in the moon=- light.

BE SENT ABROAD Ottawa, Oct. 20.--The Department and Excise is sending abroad two men to fill the position of investigator of values, one with headquarters at Berlin, Germany, and the other at Paris. The post of Investigator of Values is a new one designed to furnish the Department with accurate information in regard to the value of shipments at their origin sent from either country in which Canada has an*investigz#tor. Paul Maurice Roy, of the Depart- ment of Justice, has been transferr- ed to the Customs, and will take over the work in Berlin, while A. F.
