FANNY’S OLD-TIME FLAME L v ■—t* (© by JX J- Watah.) FANNY MARSH had overslept. She had been out late the night before at a party, one of those cozy affairs where eight women gather for an interchange of Ideas, a bit of work and light refreshment. Fanny had come home cheered and stimulated. She ha<J uttered no word to malign, she had made a noticeable advance In the sweater she was knitting for poor little Alice Potter, and the tea and cake had agreed with her. But even so. she had, sleeping, somehow wandered Into a dream of Myron Page. The dream lingered about her as she bathed, brushed her gray ing hair and dressed for the day. At last she rummaged tn a drawer and found a faded picture, at which she looked thoughtfully. It was thirty years since that picture was taken. She had worn a long skirt, big sleeves and a small hat perched on top of her head. Her slim girlish waist had measured only seventeen Inches. Then she could not have spaded a flower bed to - have saved her life. And Myron was In his way quite as absurd. She smiled at i their innocent absurdity as they stood side by side, holding hands. It was Jvfie and they were young. Now It vias fall, and while she was not exactly old she was getting along. As for Myron—she had no idea what had become of him. Could she have married him? She wondered. Her friends thought she could, had even urged her. hut something had prevented her. some inherent independence or stubbornness, they believed. There had never again come a lover Into her life, and, denied husband and children, she had sought to fill her life with other interests. She had succeeded admirably. At forty-seven she had come back to her old home town to live in her own house, toast her own bread for breakfast and do as she pleased. All very pleasant—except there was that memory of her old lover buzzing around her like a discontented bee. It was raining that morning, but she loved the rain. Oh, she had end- ■ less plans for a rainy day! Eager to fenter them, she stopped at one cup of coffee and” one slice of toast Slipi ping on her thick coat and close hat, ; she ran to the garage, where stood In readiness her honest old coupe. A : touch of the starter button, a roar and the Dragon was on his way. Fanny, splashing along wet streets, stopped at various houses. She had a gay novel for little Mrs., Bryant, who was too sfek to leave her room; a | lively toy fnr the Horton youngsters. I which would amuse them, thus permitting their mother to get out her ! dally quota of washings, a b<>x of j homemade fudge for old Mrs. Hale, who loved sweets, and a bag of rosy j apples for Grandpa Hitt The morning was nearly gone be- ■ fore she splashed homeward, humming a song that vied with the easy purr jof the motor. As she raced Into her own driveway she caught a glimpse * of somebody ringing her own front- | door bell. Leaving the car standing. Fanny I ran to Interrogate her visitor. He was i tall and thin, his coat collar was | turned up and his hat brim turned j He wore glasses. She thought, *1 don't know him.” and spoke cheertly: “Good morning.” Her approach had been so rapid and « he had been so thoroughly absorb* d In punching the bell that he had not seen her. Now he turned with something like a start. “Fanny!" he said In deep tones. “Oh! Why, it’s you, Myron!" She gave him the handshake he sought..** “You sorely haven’t forgotten me!" He focused his glasses upon her reproachfully. “Oh, no!" She laughed nervously. “Won’t you come In? Let me open the —we don’t lock doors here. And ft’s such a Joy. Locked doors seem so suspicions and —and forbidding. Right this way. Myron. This Is the living room. Take a chair. I’ll be back In one moment" As she ran her car Into the garage •he thought strangely: “It is Just as If I had wished for him and be came! I suppose I must ask him to lunch. There is pie enough besides other things. I am glad I cooked that chicken yesterday.* She found Myron had made himself comfortably at home during her brief absence. He was sitting tn one of the easiest chairs, his legs crossed, contemplating the contents of the room. He accepted her Invitation readily. “Now don't go to any trouble for me.” he said. “I didn’t expect to stay to eat. I came first to your door." he glanced at his watch, “more than an hour ago.

Swindlers Never at a Los* to Find Suckers

The common assumption that worn»n are more “easy" than men has no Mtsls In fact, so far as my observation goes, Keyes Winter writes, in Warper's Magarine. I know a trained nurse who, by years of exhausting laoor. amassed small savings, only to throw them away by the purchase of th a res in a worthless gold mine. On the other hand, I kno w a col lege protessor—a professor of economics, at that—who purchased mortgage stock at 1100 a share, which was worth at the time perhaps $3 and which Is now worth nothing. There seems to he no sex in suckers. One of the strangest traits of their psychology is their habit of coming Sack for more. No matter how much as their money the first crooked stock salesman gets, the second who ajy proaches them wilt be met with open arras and whatever cash is left “Once Mtten. twice shy.” does not hold tree sf the average sucker; of him or her the adage should read, “Once bittea, twice as eager."

with Mrs. Otis. ’She says you are living here alone Fanny.” “Why not?” Fanny tried to keep her voice bright He shook bis head. “It Is a sad life, living alone. I know.” He sighed. “On the contrary”—Fanny began in some embarrassment He interrupted , her. “One of anything is an absurdity, I Human beings were meant to live in pairs. My own dear companion j passed away a year ago.” He drew out his handkerchief, removed his glasses and wiped them vigorously. | Fanny arose. “If you will excuse me. Myron, I’ll get lunch.” she mur- ; mured. In the kitchen she leaned against the cupboard for a moment, then she attacked the problem of assembling her meal. Fried chicken, a vegetable salad, coffee settled with egg. apricot pie. a bit of Roquefort—she worked hastily. Well, for a single woman who had to earn her own money her table looked Inviting. She was proud of IL She went to summon her guest As Myron’s spectacles concentrated upon the contents of the dainty table a change came over his face. Fanny handed him a brimming cup of coffee and he motioned it away with a gesture sad yet decisive. “My stomach will not permit me to i eat any but the simplest foods. Your luncheon looks tempting, but I shall have to adhere rigidly to my rule." He ate bread and butter, a crumb of the vegetable salad. Fanny ta’ked feverishly, but the delicious chicken, the luscious pie were dust and ashes In her mouth. Afterward they returned to the living room together. As Fanny, rather exhausted, sank upon the davenport Myron took his place beside her. “I would we had not wasted our youth in separation." he sighed. “Think of the happiness that might have been ours! My wife was a good woman, but —" He shook his head. “No, we were never incompatible, but we were not born mates. There was one point we entirely agreed upon—to save money. She helped me to become a rich man.” He shifted his position, drew nearer, laid his hand upon Fanny’s shoulder. “My dear Fanny," he said shakily. Fanny sprang to her feet. She looked girlish enough with her high flush, her sparkling eyes, to lead one to forget her hair was graying. “Please, you are making yourself and me ridiculous.” she said. He stared up at her. “I'm I understand®-” he gasped. “If you don’t you must. 1 would have married you thirty years ago, but you ran away. I let everybody, my mother, my friends, believe that I had refused you. I was unhappy a long time. But I’ve lived to be wise—and glad—and thankful. It’s a blessed thing for me. your coming back this way. Now I have seen you—l—" She paused, struggling between • desire to laugh and cry. , He arose glaring at her. “1 told my friends that I was coming back to get my old flame and make her my wife. The house is being cleaned for you. I bought new carpets." He choked. Then suddenly he walked over, took up his overcoat and began to -shrug It on. He fairly shook with rage and disappointment Fanny said nothing. She looked at him. experiencing some queer emotions. “Good-by." he said with cold formality, and went out and—slammed the door behind him. Fanny stood for an Instant Immovable. Then she began to laugh sanely. merrily. It was the laugh of a woman who Is freed from the last obstacle to her perfect contentment.

Slope in Alberta Where Erosion Has Exposed Ancient Skeletons.

(P&parvd by the 'National Geoaraphle Society. Washincton. D. C.) SINCE the days of our jungle forbears the quest of big game has appealed to man. his appreciation of the sport being measured chiefly by the size of the game and the difficulty of obtaining it.l Today we must go to Afrwa for the biggest game: but there vwis a time in the dim. distant past "pen America produced animals larger than any now living. That was so long ago that nothing remains of these creatures except their bones, and they are turned to stone. The animals are dinosaurs: for the moment we will call them lizards —not the creeping, crawling kind, but huge reptiles that stalked upright through the jungles, rivaling in size the elephant the hippotamus and the rhinoceros. The place is Alberta. Canada, and the time of their existence 3.000,000 years ago. , Between the Great Lakes and the Rocky mountains, just north of the Canadian boundary lies a vast area of level land, prairie In the east and forested near the mountains, with a narrow Intervening section that is brushcovered. East of the lumbered belt the central part of Alberta is level as far as the eye can see and dotted and there by small glacial lakes, where nest countless numbers of ducks and geese. Twenty-five years ago this level section was prairie land covered with a luxuriant growth of grass, on which grazed comparatively few cattle, with a ranch building here and there, but sparsely settled withal. Today the country is covered by a network of railroads, and near the railroads most of the available land Is homesteaded. A number of small rivers drain this area, uniting tn the province of Alberta to form the Saskatchewan, which flows into Lake Winnipeg. The Red Deer river is one of these tributaries that rises In the mountains north of Banff. Numbers of lesser streams fed by mountain snows and prairie lakes join it, making an Irresistible stream that has cut through the prairie land, forming a miniature grand canyon, a mile wide ar the top and from two to five hundred feet deep. Fossil* of Four Periods. Although black, fertile soil forms the surface of the country, the earth below is composed of horizontal layers •f clay and sandstone, and a journey of 230 nflles down the river reveals four distinct geologic periods in the canyon walls. The strata representing these periods overlap like shingles on a roof, and in each are preserved the f«»ssil remains of animals and plants which enable us to picture former conditions and life during past ages. f Where these reeks hank the rooun tains they are tilted at an angle of leveral degrees, which shows that they rere laid down before the complete elevation of the Rocky mountains. This formation Is called the Pierre. Near the close of the Pierre a part of the inland sea-floor was elevated above the ocean and became a landmass of low altitude—-a vast stretch of jungle-covered delta and coastal swamp, interspersed with bayous and lagoons. i In the fresh and partly salt or brack sh water lake and river beds of this ;»eriod are preserved leaf impressions jf a variety of trees, rare teetn and fragmentary bones of mammals, and numerous remain* of a great variety >f reptiles. This is known as the Judith (Belly) River formation Subsequently this area again sank oelow the sea fer a long time and 4W feet of deposits accumulated. i Then a long period of elevation began. the rocks and fossils showing a gradual change from salt to brackish water conditions, which near the top recame quite fresh. These beds, over TOO feet thick, are known as the Edmonton formation. In these marshes of prehistoric times dwelt a host of reptiles, some large, some small, and of various forms, flesh-eaters and herb-eaters, but ail sharing certain characters In common and known as dinosaurs. Not any were cloeely related to any living reptile. yet they had some characters common to the UMrdk crocodiles and birds. That great numbers of these erea-

tures lived In the ancient marshes Is evident from the numerous remains j found in the rocks. In a single quarry i of which there are many on the Red Deer river, bones representing several i hundred individuals have beenVashed j out of the bank, and more or less com [ plete skeletons and individual bones i are scattered all through the strata. I Climate Was Sub-Tropical. At that time southern Canada and the northern part of the United States enjoyed a climate similar to that oi Florida, for fig fruits and palm leaves are often found tn th«se same rocks. Numerous coal vein* and petrified wood bespeak the tropical abundant* of the vegetation. Along the Red Deer river, In placet the canyon walls are nearly perpen dicular. and the rive- winds In Its narrow valley two to five hundred feet below the prairie, touching one side, then crossing to the other, so that It Is Impossible to follow up or down its course any great distance, even on horseback. For many years the American Museum of Natural History of New York city made a systematic collection oi fossils along this river, sending an expedition there every summer, and each succeeding expedition returned with notable resul •. As the only feasible way to work these banks Is from a boat, the parties proceeded to the town of Red Deer, where the Calgary-Ed-monton railroad crosses the river. There, filth the aid of several carpenters, a flatboat. 12 by 30 feet, was constructed, similar to a Western ferryboat. This boat was capable of carrying ten tons with safety. Supplied with a season’s provisions lumber for boxes, and plaster for en casing bones, the fossil cruises started down the canyon, At Intervals the party tied up the boat and went ashore to search the banks that fossils might not be overlooked. No large fossils were found In rocks of the Paskapoo age. but as soon as the 'Edmonton rocks appeared in the banks large bones of dinosaurs became numerous and In the picturesque exposures at the mouth ot Big. Valley they were especially abundant. At the foot of a butte lie scattered fragments of bone, and on the rivuletscarred hillside other fragments appear. as we trace them up the water- < ways. Finally, ten. twenty, or thirty feet above, other pieces protrude from the bank, and this Is our lead Cautiously the explorer follows in from . the exposed surface, uncovering the bone with crooked awl and whiskbroom. careful not to disturb the bone Itself; for. although stone, It Is usually checked and fractured tn many places by former disturbance of its bed or crystallizing of mineral salts, and Is' rarely strong enough to permit removal. Fragment Gathered. Other bones may appear in the course of this preliminary work, and. if the find Is desirable, the next step | is carefully to gather every fragment, large and small, that has weathered out and fallen down the hillside; for when restored In the laboratory one of these pieces may be the critical point in the determination of a species. Then with pick and shovel the heavy ledges above are removed, and oftea a team and scraper and dynamite are used when a large excavation is to be j made. As the bone layer is ap- ' proached the work Is more carefully I done, with ever in mind the probable position ojf the bones of the skeleton. A false stroke of the pick In excavation may cause days of mending In the laboratory and might destroy some delicate bone. When the bones are uncovered and brushed clean they are saturated with | shellac till all small pieces adhere to I each other; then the dirt Is taken away from the sides, more shellac •(>• plied, and finally each bone stands on a little pedestal. If the specimen Is a skeleton It Is next determined where the bones may be separated or broken to cause least damage, and each part is covered first with tissue paper, and then with two or three layers of plaster-of-paris bandages —stripe of burlap dipped in plaster. When this Is set and thoroughly hard, the block Is undermined and turned over and bandages are applied to the lower surface to form a complete plaster Jacket

excellent Reason for That Sable Trimming Mrs. Charles P. Taft, who with her husband, has founded the magnificent Cincinnati Institute of Fine Arts, condemued at a dinner party the costliness of modern fashions. “They get more costly every year, she said “A woman used to buy leather shoes with real soles, shoes that could be walked in; but she buys now. for S4O or SSO, sandals ot lizard skin and cloth of gold that would go to pieces ou her if she walked a mile. “I heard a story the other day that shows up modern fashions beautifully, A millionaire's wife came down to din ner tn one of her new summer gowns —a diaphanous thing bordered with sable. “ ‘How do you like this gown?’ she asked her busband. “ ‘Fine,’ he answered, as he wiped his wet forehead, for the evening was warm; ‘but I don’t quite see what put pose the sable serves.’ She laughed complacently. “ ‘lt serves the purpose,’ she an swered, ‘of showing that we can afford it” Regiments Once Clashed The “twin" regiments of the Span Ish-American war. the First Georgia and the Thirty-first Michigan, were at one time on the verge of a pitched battle, according to W U Grayson of Savannah, senior commander-in-chief of the United Spanish War Veterans. The trouble began when the baud of the Michigan regiment marched through the camp at Chickamauga park playing “Marching Through Georgia." Grayson related. The Georgia men were restrained by their offi- 4 cers with difficulty and finally decided on an unique retaliation. The next morning, after a hasty night rehearsal of an unfamiliar selection, the Georgia band marched on the parade ground lustily playing the hated “Marching Through Georgia.”—Detroit News, Powder Teacher —So you don't know what letter comes after “h”?
