so utterly beside the point in view of their last con versation that she would probably never post it but it passed the time and then it was time to have dinner do you want to dress tonight he asked her yes that is no as were alone alone he repeated with a bit ter laugh and added do you re member loan that i told you one day that id find us a spot to our selves that wed clear all tlie un necessary people away i remember said joan closing her eyes and feeling fainter than she had done even in the church i never thought that id have lo resort to such methods to do it odd isnt it and when they went into the lighted dining room she saw that his face was deadly pale hough its ex pression was harder than ever they sat down but joan could not eat and die refused everything that he offered her delicious though the food looked drinlc then he said when she protested that she was not hungry and hoping that it would strengthen her she let him fill her glass with wine he too she noticed ate noth ing and they sat there at the tabic drinking a little sauterne and break ing up bread without eating much of it what a poor imitation of a feast he remarked drily when they rose and

struck nine oclock halfpast nine ten he read on joan glanced at him covertly now and again he looked up suddenly and what she saw in his face made her sick with fear panic seized her casually she rose faintly smiling and remarked with forced cheerfulness halfpast ten with an appearance of ease she put her magazine in its place under a small tudor table and went quiet ly to the door without another glance at hannen closing the door she stood for a moment motionless outside it list ening all was quiet inside silently she tiptoed along the hall towards the open front door her heart thud ding away inside her she stopped again to listen and hearing nothing she slipped out of the door into the night and down the front steps in panicstricken baste a dark figure stepped out from ihe gloom of the shrubberies beside her and an arm strong as iron barred her way bringing her to a standstill with a jerk hello said piers breathless she fell back a step she understood what had happened he had guessed he had stepped out of the garden doors of the sitting room adjoining the front door in time to stop her as she made her more cautious exit from the house her breath came in sobs she turn ed to go back up the steps and he followed her barring her way out through the door she felt more than anything a fool to be so frightened and of a man one had willingly mar ried but he was so cruel so

he as sured those who have nightmares of insect hordes winning in the titanic struggle some see going on between man and insects for the possession of the earth among the advantages insects have over man mr kddy mentioned were no lungs with which to get ti no arteries to harden no ap pendix to rupture no teeth to decay they can digest more rapidly than man some of them digesting four times their own weight in a single day their smelling organs are keener than a setters and their ner vous system is less capable of being out of order insects have an outside skeleton which acts as a coat of mail to pro tect the vital organs he said man has most of his organs unprotected they have a tremendous power i multiply some of them lay but one egg from which sixtyfive result the common plant louse if

glen tier- rick of cornell university claims that the combined weight of these plant lice would be greater than the combined weight of all the people upon the earth among ihe disadvantages of the insects which give man supremacy is the fact that the outside skeleton or coat of mail is dead and incap able of expansion as the creature grows while shedding its skeleton it is absolutely at the mercy of it foes while their digestion is bet- tr than mans insects are special ists and if their diet specially is not available they stare- man also can invent machines which excel the smelling organs of the insects and has a more sensi tive if less stable nervous system besides insects are coldblooded anil become unvoltintarily inactive at temperatures of forty degrees fah renheit or less and are at the mercy of their enemies there is also marked dissention within the ranks of the insects they are their own worst enemies by presenting a united front against the insects man will retain
