Mrst Out. “Why don’t some
thing happen? I feel, like I’d been
dead a week—and had no hope of any
resurrection.”
“How d’ye know, Prissy? Canst
recall former existences and pass
ings? ’ Sister Helen mocked—her
mission was breaking Prissy’s-moods.
Tell you that after I’m revivified
as you never will be,” Prissy
chaffed. She was tall and twenty,
nefi, a beauty, and very, very badly
spoiled. Inevitably, with nothing
masculine nearer than second cousin
co offset a phalanx of adoring aunts,
a brace of grandmothers to both of
whom she summed perfection, to say
nothing ,of swarming beaux.
She didn’t dream it, but it Was her

her for the looking at her, if he had
let himself. Rather he was held from
doing it by the soar upon h}s heart.
An oid story now—it ought never to
throb and sting him. But it did—and
it was there in token that, another
woman with the same charm had
earlier won him—and played him
a se. Since then Ms chief concern
had been not to forget her, but t«
armor himself against all such aV
tacks. He wpuld marry, of course—,
after awhile. There must be Lee Ver
nons to follow him—but they should
be scientifically bred, carefully born
and trained. Their mother a lady—
that went without saying—handsome,
healthy,, with neither too much nor
too little, brain. Helen was, to speak
truth, much nearer the specification
he had set forth—yet to him was
merely an adjunct of Priscilla. I>—n
the luck that had brought him home
for the quail shooting first time In
five years, to find the sisters resting
at little old May wold, the original
family seat, from the wear and tear )
of a hectic social year. He had
known them at second hand and
long- -this was his first encounter In
the flesh. Brief but romantic—he had
all hut run them down defying speed
limits at the edge of dusk. Safety for
them had meant a wrecked car a
potential fatality. Helen had screamed,
all but fainted—It was Priscilla who
had-sworn at him, a good mouth-fill-
ing oath ordering him out of sight
with a stjimp of the foot, and eyes
that shot sparks. Vet when he made
due apologies next day, she had smiled
at him indulgently, saying with a
shrug: “You got heap the worst of
it but we shan’t insult you offering
you a new car.” Which might have-
eased the tense 'situation if Helen had
n-ot pleaded plaintively: “Please for
get? Have pity 4 on weary pilgrims
seeking! real rest.” 1
Muttering a pledge, bowing as be
came his name, he had gone' away.
He’d tried to obey—but soipehow va
grant eyes had more than once feast-
ed upon Priscilla’s face—and read
^hete. that she was deadly, sick of sol

never have come at all. Maywold

briars and sedge, provided the West, of

SUNK ABOUT 1700
I,
Logan Expedition Seeks Gold
of Lost Vessel. i
! ; — i i
[ New York.—Maj. R. A. Logan, man-
[ager of the mapping division of the
Fairchild aerlal'surveys, left New York
[for a treasure hunt In Nova Scotia*
which, he 'says, may net him at least
$100,000 and perhaps $2,000;000.
The treasure was the cargo of a
French “pay ship” which fell into the
(hands of the English off Cape Breton 1
Island about the year 1700.
After various vicissitudes the crew
ft the French vessel managed to sink
the treasure in Canadian lakes, but
were prevented by the English from
.returning to claim it. All trace of It
rwas eventually lost and repeated
searches failed to give a hint of its
Whereabouts.
Major Logan discovered last winter,
in an old Spanish narrative, an ac
count of how the treasure passed into!
the hands of a Spanish privateer. The
[captain of this vessel hanged the
Frenchman who gave him the informa
tion, hut the captain was prevented by
.the French from salvaging \ the treas-
jfire. He left the records for his soil,
[however*, and It is this record which
(Major Logan is using as his guide;
ji Knowing the country well, Major
[Logan last spring bought up all the
.land on which the treasure can pos
sibly be hidden if the Spanish records
are accurate.
. “Ail I have to do now is to dig,” said
the major just before his departure,
“and I’m so sure I’ve , got the right
dope I’m willing to spend flve months
digging if necessary. I’ll have two la
borers helping me. That’s all there, is
to, my expedition.” t
“Man Without a Country” !
Has Many Allies in U. S.
Washington.—The “man without a
fCoimtry” of book fame would have*
plenty of company were he to set foot
on American shores.
More than 1,600,000 persons in the
United States, or approximately 1 per f
cent of the,total population, are in the*
[same fix and most of them don’t know
This revelation was made by Harry.
;E. Hull, commissioner of ■ immigration*
in discussing some of the queer work
ings of the immigration laws.
' You can safely say,” he asserted,,
that there are more than a million/ -
persons In this country today who can
not claim citizenship of any land. A 1
great majority of them are unaware of
this, but quite a few of them who are
don’t seem to care.”
The commissioner explained that
this huge total of “outcasts” was cre
ated largely by aliens who . have'over
stayed their tempora^yijiTtries, 'and by
(tourists, who, en route to some other
.country, stopped off here,"found a job
and settled down. Many also came
over the borders when restrictions
Were less rigid, lost their original citi
zenship by remaining here too long
■and then forgot or ignored American-
.citaeHsMp,; requirements.
Hull said his bureau nevfer geeks out
these *ioi(citizens, but often comes in
contact with them. Some are amazed
to tod out that they have no legal’
claim to any citizenship when they* ap-
ply for passports or re-entry permits;
others learn about their status when
they go before a court to sue or in
some other legal proceeding.
- the other wa y around,
too, he asserted. “An American can
go abroad and lose his citizenship here
Bnd tb , ere also ifffie is ignorant or care-
less about the- law.”,
