All the wealthy propin Or;, -tal Reach will come over for It.” * Ann. you can’t be m earnest ” She nodded her hncht head. ‘ You * ow that silver coffee urn the one that was used for the banquet I,afavrtte attended- and the Hepplewhite che t of drawers and that ancient china ” ‘And the blue cloisonne vase vour mother kept roves in? /nn mv child. I don't sec how you could sell such things.” “My mo'hcr would have valued them less than fathers good name.” Ann said in a low voice. Her old friend got to his feet, crossed the room and grasped the girl's hands. “I m more than scandalized at your daring. Rut I'm proud of you. It exactly what your mother would have done. God bless her!” a a a ANN had gone bravely about rei. moving the desolate atmosphere from her home, making it a gav and gallant place. Shining surfaces were restored. Row!s and vases of flowers were plarect ebout the rooms where the "sale” would be held. 0 ! H Mnllie. who had served two generations of Hollisters, had come to "help” The announcement that “Miss Ann Hollister would conduct a sale ot her family possessions front 2 until 6'' had brought gasps of amazement from Greenfield's elite and virtual retirement for the time of all Ann's relatives. ' If you dare to desecrate my poor brother's home I'll wash may hands o f voti.” Aunt Hattie told Ann. ‘ Dad would have died before he would have borrowed all that moni v for any one but me," Ann rPtorted. “I owe it to hint to ike uo those notes and I shall.” “You won't be so high-minded when you haven't a nickel and no place to go.” her aunt said darkly. Anns bravery had been assumed. She was feeling sick now and frightened. Old Mrs. Sykes, with her gimlet eves, who always arrived fiisr when there were bargains to be had. would make straight for the beautiful secretary' inlaid with ebony and tortoise shell. Alene Carson, who had married rtch old Mr Williamson, would motor m from her new home in the country and buy recklessly and gloatingly. ‘Yo looks tired, honey.” Ylolly said, her dark fare softened bv sympathy. “I don' blame yo for fadin' bad All these pretty things gom' to folks they don’ b'long to.” • Please. Molly.” Ann said faintly. Sympathy was the one thing she could not endure. “Mr*.’ time for 'em, to be cornin’. I ook like some of ’em would be here be to’. Leastways. Mis' Sykes otter be.” “Yes,” said Ann from the window. Then, breathlessly. “Somebody is coming. Molly, be ready to open the door ” “Mis’ Svkes?” “No. it's a man—a young man—l*ye never seen h.m before.”

THE. greatest memorial avenue in the world is the avenue planted a’ N.kko Japan, leading to the tomb of leyasu. father of the second Sh cun of the Tokugawa dynasty. It took twenty years to complete the planting. • • • NE.VT The ahop of what President still stands in Greenevtlk, lain.?

The strange young man's grav readier had been roaring through small southern towns—all astonishingly aince with their fine old homes howlng thiough the trees—for the last two hours At this rate he would reach Atlanta by nightfall. A short distance down the road he had picked up a nail—and here r wa standing, hat in hand, at the door of one of those splendid old homes. H" knocked and heard the sound of virrinz within. The door was flung wide. An old Negro woman loomed before him, almost as though she were a ghost from the giamouous past. She reached for his hat. The young man smiled, bi* kept the hat. ‘ Never mind. Auntie. I’ll only be here for a minut*v” He had heard that hospitality in small southern towns was close to the old regime type. Rut did they always receive strangers .*> cordially? He was inside now. A girl was coming toward him. A slender girl with bronze hai” She j wore an afternoon frock of brown and he noted that her eyes were brown with golden glints in them. Her straight little nose was inclined to tilt upward. “I'm afraid I'm here under false colors," the young man was 'a.ving i in a voice Ann found very pleasing. “You aie expecting guests?" The girl hesitated. After a moment she answered slowly, “Yes.” ‘Mv car has a fiat. A tire blew out almost at your cate —luckily for me. Mav I use your telephone to call a garage?” ‘Of course. It's in the hall Call j Parker s garage. They'll come promptly—that is. more promptly than anybody else.” Hp called the number and cavp directions crisply. The pretty girl led the way back into the living j room. “If you care to I'll be glad for you to . ait here while the tire j is being changed.” "I'd like to- -but I'm afraid I'm 1 intruding. Your guests’” "It's an informal affair. Quite.” Her voice was very low. They were sitting opposite each other. Ann had decided that the young man who had so suddenly crossed her threshold was rather unusual. Handsome. And his manners were attractive. She went into the dining room, oprned the door and spoke to the servant. j “Tea, Molly.” a a a DURING Ann's absence the j young man made a discovery. First his eyes had rested against an old candelabra on the mantel. A neat card against it read, “Pair. $25.” Looking around, he noticed! white cards affixed to other articles, j Within reach of his hand, on a low j table, was a small blue vase. The i card read sls. The tea party was progressing when the doorbell rang. Ann said. "Excuse me a moment, please. Some of my guests have arrived.” “I think I heard that service car. too.” "Please finish your tea and cake,” For the next five minutes, Ann was busy; cornered by old Mrs. Sykes, having to listen to “My dear. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that announcement, I said 'think of a Hollister coming to! this.” “This way please, Mrs. Sykes,” Ann said firmly. “Just look at everything." And then Mrs. Ellen Pendleton's gentle voice, "Ann, you dear girl.” Ann went bark into the urawing room. The rhair on the right side of the low table vwns occupied now by one of the Wright sisters. The young man was gone. Ann looked about in amazement. No, he was not in sight. It was silly to feel this twinge of disappointment. What difference did it make? Rut at least he might l ave said good by. There was his cup on the table and beside it —in place of the blue vase which was missing—was a 1 small, white envelope. Ann crossed to the table and I picked up the envelope. Inside was a fifty-dollar bill anil a slip of paper on which was written in a bold masculine hand: "My mother likes blue. I'm taking this *ase. which I am sure is ridiculously underpriced. Tell the cook the tea and cakes were great. Thank.. It was the best party I ever attended. P. K.” <Tn Re Continued)

In the City of Gold it was death to any woman thought to be more beautiful than the Queen. So when she heard of the beauteous Dona. Nemone's jealousy was aroused. “Who says she is beautiful?" she again demanded of the conspiring councillor. Tomos.

“Erot tells me she is indeed beautiful," replied Tomos. “There are others who think so too.” ‘"What others?” she asked. “One who has been drawn into the conspiracy against you w-ith Gemnon and Thudos. the girl's father.” he replied, pretending it pained him to say this.

“Speak out!” she cried. “I know you have something unpleasant in your mind that you are glad to tell me, hoping it will make me unhappy.” “Oh Majesty, you wrong me,” began Tomos, but the Queen silenced him: “Get to the point; I have other matters waiting.”

“I but hesitated to name the other for fear of wounding your Majesty,” said Tomos. oiiily; “but if you insist, it is the stranger called Tarzan.” Nemone sat up very straight at the mention of the her eyes blazing. “What fabric of lies is this?" she demanded.
