CHAPTER VI—Continued
—11—
Their isolation grew as he talked.
What had these hurrying people, in-
tent upon their own silly affairs, to do
with them? It was growing dusk, a
dusk that vanished as it came, before
the flood of brilliancy that flowed like
a river upon the street. Shops that
lmd been but shops an hour ago were
splendid now, and their wares were
more splendid still. Faces silhouetted
by the flattering light became beautiful
and young and spiritual. Electricity
is kind to lipsticks and rabbit skin.
The street became an enchanted street
with a man and woman walking in
enchantment, feeling it all while they
saw nothing.
“1 always liked the service,” said
Brian. “When I was a boy I had
crazy ideas about glory and prin-
cesses and hand kissing—that sort of
thing. All bunk, of course. But 1
still wanted it when I got old enough
to have some sense. Wanted it and
got it. But somehow I didn’t get it
the way 1 wanted it. Horribly hard
to make anyone underestand.” His
eyes searching for hers again.
“What does it matter so you got
what you wanted?” her clear voice, a
little hard, came back to him.
He returned an indulgent smile.
“Child!” it seemed to say.
“The way I wanted was not the way
it came to me. I have a family”—he
slighted this as some men always slight
the fact that they belong to a clan—
“not rich folk, awfully hard up, to be
frank ; but it’s the sort of family that
can do miracles if they want—make
the lion lie down or sit up/ and beg.
That sounds awfully egotistical, but
vulgarians might say that they know
where the body is buried and maybe.”
he grinned reminiscently, “the vulga-
rians would be right. My dad and
Simon Fentress fished in the millpond
together when they were kids, so you
can imagine what Fentress did when
dad slipped it that I wanted an ap-
pointment.” He made a wry face, and
turned to her for sympathy.
“They managed it for you,” she haz-
arded.
He -'nodded. “They did—with a ven-
geance. And it simply took the blush
off the rose. You see, I wanted to do
the thing myself. I had already gone
to Senator Converse. He promised to
put it through.”
Linda was puzzled. “But what is
the difference? It was only pulling
wires, no matter how it was done.”
They were talking at cross purposes.
Brian tried to make himself plain.
“Don’t you see? Fentress tossed it
to me like a plaything! Influence! It
has a bad taste and, of course, I’m an
ass. Everybody does it—everybody
uses everybody else if they can, and
are jolly well glad to, but it wasn’t
my boyhood dream by a long shot.”
He laughed shamefacedly and added
a bromide that took some of the seri-
ousness out of the discussion. “I don’t
know why I am telling you all this.”
“Perhaps because you never before
met a woman who understood,” she re-
turned instantly.
When their laugh was over, they
walked on in silence for a half block,
and then Linda surprisingly reopened
the subject.
“I wonder why Senator Converse’s
influence would be different from Mr.
Fentress’,” she said thoughtfully. She
really wanted to know; it was amaz-
ing to find that Brian, young and clear
minded and a little rorpantic, regarded
the senator with anything but aver-
sion.
“It is different,” he said, and they
went on slowly. “I don’t believe I can
make you understand, but I will try.
Put into words it sounds fantastic or
what I loathe—sentimental. There,
it’s out!” He became shamefaced
again as men are when they are forced
to reveal their inmost thought that
have to do with vainglory. “I wanted
to earn my spurs myself. I wanted to
make them notice me because of my
own brains, not the brains or money
of somebody else, but I found that
didn’t weigh a penny’s worth beside
the fact that Simon Fentress favored
me and my grandfather controlled a
large-sized vote in his community. If
somebody else had been my father’s
son it would have been the same, don't
you see? Not myself—but what I stood
for. I had to take my medicine or
leave it.”
“And if Senator Converse had backed
you, ’ said Linda in a low voice.
“He wouldn’t, if he hadn’t believed
in me. I was on my own with him.
and that made all the difference. His
mind was not controlled by anything
but his own judgment.”
“Ah. He was not influenced by your
connections then?”
“I don't believe he knew I had any,”
said Brian simply.
“You admire him?” she asked, think-
ing of what Converse had said last
night. She could hardly keep the
scorn from her voice.
Two Advantages
The house agent decided that he
had better be quite frank with his
latest clients.
“Of course,” he began, “this house
has one or two drawbacks which I
feel I must mention. It is bounded
on the north by the gas works, on
the south by an india-rubber works,
on the east by a vinegar factory, and
in the west there is a glue-boiling es-
tablishment.”
‘Great Scott!” gasped the husband.
“Fancy showing us such a place. What,
a neighborhood !”
“Quite so,” replied the agent. “But
there are advantages. The rent is
cheap, and you can always tell which
way the wind is blowing!”
Gatherings in a Day
When making a long voyage, at one
particular spot on the other side of
the world, the change is represented
by a whole day, which must be added
or substracted according to the way
the ship is going. On a leap year, go-
ing from Yokohama to San Francisco
should the ship come to the place of
change on February 29. then, if a day
is added, that added day is known of-
ficially as Fehruary 30.
Old English Expression
A nine-day wonder is something
that holds attention for a few days
and then is forgotten. The expression
is very old in England. It was used
by Shakespeare. It is thought to be
based on the old proverb, “Wonder
lasts nine days and then the puppy’s
eyes are opened,” referring to the
fact that dogs are born blind and their
eyes do not open for about nine days.
SHINER GAZETTE. SHINER. TEXAS
T “Heaps.” said Brian, and she had
1 one of those illuminative glimpse of
what men may be to one another and
what they may be to a woman at the
same time.
The great facade of a hotel was sud-
denly before them. A liveried flunky
stood before the revolving door. His
blank gaze was fastened upon the
distance, but it was inescapable that
he knew Linda and expected her to
enter.
“I live here!” she reminded her com-
panion, pausing.
“Won’t you walk a little farther? I
haven’t said half 1 wanted to. What a
fearful bore I’ve been.” She let him
draw her on.
“I want you to understand of all
people. I know that what I’ve said
sounds like a prig or—a—boor, which
is nearly as bad, but if it’s going to be
like that, I wonder if I really want it.
I haven’t any .money and I’ll need a
lot. They’ll expect me to live up to
Simon Fentress.” He laughed with a
tinge of bitterness.
She spoke impatiently. “O, but if
you loved it—if it was your dream—
so few of ns get our dreams even in
a tangled way!”
He looked at her hopefully. It
seemed that she had miraculously
voiced his half framed thoughts.
“A chap could do a lot of good over
there if he was really in earnest,” he
said wistfully. “It’s all such a muddle,
and maybe if doesn’t matter much how
i happen to 'go—”
“That is true,” said Linda eagerly,
as if justification were pleasant to her,
also. “The result is the thing, after
all. If you get results.” She was un-
consciously quoting Courtney Roth,
whom every one had forgotten. Sud-
denly she remembered him. It was
beginning to mist in a fine, soft. way.
She was tired from the long walk, and
they turned back obedient to a pres-
sure from her hand on his arm. He
began to reproach himself at once.
“You’re tired. You’re awfully white.
I ought to be shot!” As they neared
the hotel again he said diffidently, “I
meant to ask you hours ago, but I got
talking about myself like a duffer.
Will you dine with me? Say that you
will!”
But Linda smiled “no.” She was al-
ways dining. He could not know, of
course, that her .free evenings were
days ahead. They selected one toward
the end of the week. Brian was in
New York for an elastic period.
“While the Fentresses are here?”
Linda suggested with sudden enlight-
enment. And when he admitted that
as a matter of course, she asked, “Why
is Miss Fentress against the appoint-
ment?”
She did not know how cold her voice
sounded.
“Daisy? Oh, I think she’s rather
keen on my keeping on with my pro-
fession. I’m a lawyer—a sort of one,
you know. Daisy hates foreign coun-
tries and all their parade. She thinks
they aren’t real. She’s pure Ameri-
can.”
Linda threw back her head, and
laughed aloud. The gesture released
the furs at her neck and a coil of the
pearls she wore slipped through and
lay against the dark soft collar. Her
laughter was startling, a little wild.
“Good-ty,” sh' . !d him a? i left him
rather abruptly in the shadow of thf
dampened doorman.

Great African Lake
Lake Nyasa, which covers about
one-fourth of the protectorate’s entire
area, is the third in size of the great
lakes of central Africa. It is 340 miles
long and its greatest width, which oc-
curs at the center, is 45 miles. The
total area of the lake has been esti-
mated at 11,000 square miles. Its wa-
ters are carried into the Zambesi via
the River Shire. Nyasaland and its
great lake were only vaguely known
until 1859 when David Livingstone
and the German traveler, Albrecht
Roscher, explored it simultaneously.
Livingstone from the south and Rosch-
er from the east. Since that time it
has been the scene of civilizing work
on the part of missionaries and gov-
ernment officials.
SLEEVES FEATURE OF FASHION;
MILLINERS TURN TO VELVET
LJ AYTNG victoriously passed through
TT-'the sleeveless age, fashion’s fol-
lowers are now entering the sleeved
era. Such a medley of sleeve ideas as
the advance styles for fall and win-
ter are ushering in! Leg o’ mutton
sleeves on the way, “angel sleeves”
to grace the evening gown, sleeves
which begin to widen below the el-
bow, sleeves of elbow length which

Charming Frock of Green Faille Silk
ered sleevelets, and listen to this: the
erstwhile sans-sleeve decollette dinner
gowns are taking unto themselves
sleeves. «
This revival of sleeves is especially
emphasized in connection with the
new allover lace frocks, for lace con-
tinues to be a favorite theme for the
dinner gown.
A lavishment of detail is centered
on the long close-fitting sleeves of
dinner gowns made of monotone chif-
fon and other similar materials. This
elaboration usually begins at or be-
low the elbow, the lower portion being
intricately worked with beads. Fre-
quently, floating panels are attached
at the elbow, lending a most pictur-
esque aspect to the silhouette.

Early Fall Millinery
In the afternoon mode sleeves have
become a plaything of the designer.
There is no end to their diversity and
to their fanciful trends. A favorite
type is the sleeve which distinguishes
the youthful afternoon dress in the
picture. This charming frock is fash-
ioned of faille silk in one of the lovely
green tones, ('ream georgette is em-
ployed for the, lower part of the
sleeves, with embroidery and applique
done in matching green. This frock
emphasizes the slenderness of the fig-
ure by means of a wrap-around sash
which ties gracefully at the front.
Coats also are registering innova-
tions in sleeves. They are even going
so far as to suggest dolman effects.
When the full-below-the-elbow type is
not achieved through the actual cut
and manipulation of the cloth, then

The swanky cap-fitting model cen

these little chapeaux is designed to set
back on the head so as to “show your

When it comes to “style” the model

velvet” for fashion’s followers this
season. At any rate, velvet is having
its day, not only in relation to suits
and frocks but the milliners are espe-
cially enthusiastic in regard to velvet
for fall and winter.
Designers working with velvet are
striving for the unique, and conse-
quently they are manipulating it with
an originality which gives it a refresh
ingly new aspect. The whole scheme
of things is “different,” from the ac-
tual handling of the material itself to
the very pose of the hat on the head,
not forgetting the new “lines” and
colorings as expressed in terms of
velvet.
Perhaps the most striking note
sounded for early fall (some there are

Varying the News
And still we sing a little song
For hope we never lose,
The world has never gone along
With nothing but good news.
Seeing Is Believing
Walter found his mamma talking to
a very stout woman.
“Walter,” said his mother, “this is
your great-aunt.”
“Yes” said Walter, gazing at her
ample proportions, “she looks* it.”

ant of the people,” said the man with
old-fashioned ideas.

Some rogues steal fortunes at a time
And some are merely chicken thieves.
Last Word in the Air
A group of pilots were buzzing
about something or another as the
flight commander approached, and sev-
eral times he caught the expression
“the last word in airplanes.”
“Well,” he said, as he reached the
group, “what is the last word in air-
planes?”
The group chorused: “Jump!”
Beginning of Trouble
“When I get rich 1 shall proceed to
enjoy life,” said the sanguine person.
“Maybe you will,” answered Mr.

have my experience. You’ll find that
you are up against a long program of
acquired tastes, such as olives, roque-
fort cheese and Wagnerian music.”—

Largest Drydock
The largest drydoeks in the world
are the Boston navy dock and the
Saint John (N. B.) drydock. The
former is 1,170 feet long by 120 feet
wide and the latter is 1,165 feet long
and 125 feet wide. The Boston dock
is Longer, but the respective areas
covered by the docks give Saint John
