concerning the character of the very

Geologists Know
A diffculty of another kind arvises
from the practical impossibility of ac
curately applying the measure of
yoars 1o the geological record 'rm-g
geologist knows that certain »!v‘n‘\‘
were formed earller or later than
oertain othey strata, but he can only
make more or less probable estimates
concerning the number of centuries
required for the formation of those
strata: There can be no doubt, how
ever. that the human race is al Jeast
ten times older than the 6,008 years
sald to have elapsed since the crea
tion of Adam.
Every year the evidence becomes
clearer that several successive races
of men livefl in Europe ages before
any historical records wers made or
thought of. The great, primary dl
vision Is Detween the men of (he
paleolithic, or old stone age, and those
.flfimmhlc. or new stone age,
h paleolithic races certainly livedl
during, or In the infervals between,
some of the later glacial periods, when
large regions of the Northern Hemi
sphere were more or less covered with
ice, and when arctic, or subarctic, cli
mates prevalled where now temperate
conditions exist.
Lived Among Animals,
Those early representatives of our
race lived among animals which are
no longer found in the temperate zone,
and many of which have become ex
tinet upon the earth. Certain spe
eles of lions, bears, hyenas and other
animals, for instance, are known to
have been contemporary with the men
of the old stone age, and even to have
inhabited some of the caverns which
were then the only permanent shel
ters that man possessed.
We know as surely as we can know
anything that men, reindeer, mam
moths, llons, tigers, rhinoceroses, stc.,
lived together, at different times, in
Southwestern Europe, whers none of
the animals men{loned are now found
except in menageries.
One of the greatest puzzles about
< early man is the fact that some of
the 'l?uom-“ human skulls that
~ have found exhibit a remark
_able brain capacity. Some of the men
of that ancient time would seem to
i have had brains as large as the av
"“m.: to-day. The so-called “Cro
men” had even larger skulle
than the average KEuropean of our
. But there were others whose

: Some Evidence.
This difference has led to the sup
position that there were at least two
principal races of early man, one
umt.ly superior to the other. The
en subject is of fascinating in
terest, largely because of the mys
m which it involves. There is some
ence that the very first man-like
creatures on the earth were of the
ape-like species, and that those hav

The Runaways
HE was running away.
Beside her on the seat in the
compartment lay a leather suit
case, and in the baggage car was a
little trunk. If it hadn't been such a
pourma wet day she would have felt
perfectly happy in evéry way.
The flight was the result of a long
series of meditations; she had got
bored and rather taken a dislike to
him, and thought it would be the
greatest fun to run away.
The train sped on into the country,
past trees, fields and farms: idly she
turned from the window to the many |
g.mkn and papers which she had with
er,
“Hope he does not hreak hig heart,”
ghe thought, “Why did 1 ever get en
gaged to him? He isn't my s(yfe. and
we bhore each other.”
At a junction she had to change
her train; she got on to the wrong
platform at first, and then, just by
luck, managed to catch the train she
wanted just as all the doors were be
ginning to bang.
Inside the compartment into which
she was bundled a man sat. He was
looking out of the window. Her heart
gave a thump, and when he turned it
was a matter for dispute who was
the more surfflud.
The train lurched out of the sta
tion with & jerk which nearly sent her
off her feet.
“Good heavens!” she cried, as she
sank into the seat.
The man looked much disturbed
and even ashamed.
“What on earth are you doing so
far up north, Kitty? I thought you
‘were going to the theater to-night”
~ Kitty ran her mind through a se

as unsuitable to the occasion.

manded.

bistory here wiich can not yet be
penetrated, but which make a pow
erful appeal to the imagination, Pro
fessor Arthur Keith, an English
archaeologist, estimates that the neo
lithic period in Europe probably last
ed about ten thousand years, and
that it was succeeded bgetho “bronze
age” about 2,000 years before Christ.
Aftéer that came the “age of iron”
leading up to the historic ages. |
Highly interesting is the fact that
the tombs constructed by men the
later stone age afford reaso for
thinking that a belief in the immor
tality of the soul existed among men
at that early time.
A PLEASANT
LITTLE STORY
Kitty stared at a view of Stratford
on-Avon, which the railroad company,
in a berficent mood, had placed where
he sat, :
m“’f{;’u I}e:;er mlt:l me last night at
e Verrinders that you were
to Scotland.” seibe
“Didn't know it mysalf then,” he
returned, sheepishly. *“1 had a bad
night, woke up and lonked at myself
in the glass, and asked myself the
y(lnm question, ‘What can a girl like
itty see in me” | put some things
into a suit case and flung myself into
a taxi"”
“You were running away from me,
then?"” Kitty asked, in blank, horrified
tones. “How lucky 1 found out in
time!"”
“Found out?” Mac stared at her|
with big eyves. "Good Lord, have you
got second sight, or what? 1 never
told a soul. And, besides, you looked
surprised when you came in here and
saw me.”
“That was acting,” Kitty said,
loftily.
The little dimple in her cheek was
doing acrobatics, her mouth looked
very inviting, Mac drew closer to her
and his tan shoe gently jogged the
tpe of her dainty suede boot.
- . - -« o - -
“Kitty, did you tell anyone that you
were—going to follow me on my
flight " \
“Ne." Kitty began to giggle. “Good
gracious, everyone will be thinking
that we have eloped.”
“Wish we bad,” Mac had the pres
ence of mind to say.
- - - . - -
Kitty’s relations and friends were
much mystified by an avalanche of
telegrams and later a shower of
small, white boxes of wedding cake.
“] ¢Bn't imagine whatever they{
wanted to run away and get married
for,” Kitty’'s mother wistfully tells
peolpe, quite puzzled by the whole af
fair, since most of the arrangements
were already made at home.

tortured nerves had run the gamut
of all the suffering her Imagination
could inflict—w When she had visioned
herself shamed and led off to prison
again, while Harvey sat stonily by,
Judging her more cruelly than the
judge himself —she Jeaped to her feet,
feeling the urge of need for physical
action and the respite from thought
which that gives.
She had decided in the torturing
flight of her unleashed imagination
that she was not & wife In any true
sense, but rather an unwalcome pen
sloner upon Harvey Lake's bounty.
He hail sald that their marriage was
no marriage, since it had been per
formed unl«enmaflh&ofifl
Well, she had the shame of that to
bear, too.
But she need not have the shame
of stayving where she had not the
rights of a legal wife nor even of a
Jove mate. She would go. And at
that moment, in the midst of her suf
fering, Margaret got the little thrill of
strange joy we all feel when we are
luxuriously sorry for ourselves. The
naughty lttle girl, who is sent to bed
without her supper, has much the
same morbid joy when she tells hcr-]
self stories of how “they will all bo"
sorry and cry and ery when it is too
late, and they find her dead"—and
then with tender prevision does the
weeping at once (to Insure its being
done perhaps). 2
Margaret felt a little of that rlght-!
eous and almost enjoyable martyr
dom In the midst of her genuine suf-!
sering. And she almost resented the
turh of affairs when the butler sud-‘
denly insinuated a tap on the door
and his voice into her consciousness
and announced that Mr. Lake was
below and wished to see her.
Margaret's face was tear-stained
from her hour’s vigil and her soft
hair had fallen about her face in dis
array. No instinctive feminine Ue

move traces of her storm and stress

the stairway to the living room, where
Harvey and another man were wait

She Faces Two Men.
When Harvey had rushed from his

had been carried by the impetuosity
of his dazed horror to police head
quarters in search of Carroll and the
truth he knew he would met from

Harvey had to go on enduring then,
to his aggressive masculine nature,
almost unendurable terror and shame
of uncertainty. Was his wife indeed

ing st his side and on whom Marga
ret's weary eyes focused as she crept
down the stalrway to face her hus
band and learn from him what her
redl doom must be!
When at last Harvey Lake had
found the second of the men for whom
he was seeking, he rested his case
with him.
“I'm dazed, stunned, Mac,” he con
feased wearily at the end of a long
talk. “Of course, the first thing I'll
&0 wiil be to resign my position with
the road. It's the only way I can|
avert bringing disgrace upon the men
who have befriended me™
Harvey felt like a pariah, a leper, !
2 thing unciean. But he was too sim
ple in his attitude toward himself,
too free from any tendency toward
paychological analysis, to dream that
he felt 80 because he was getling
ready to cast in his Jot with his wife
—and not to make honesty his fetish
to which love must be sacrificed. Cus.
tom and instinct hold many of us to
an attitude of loyalty when love de
mands a sacrifice of personal ideals,
And so, when Margaret Lake crept
down to meet her arraignment in
her husband’s eves, she did not guess
what fire spethed bLeneath the cold
ness that seemed Lo try her and judge
ber guilty.
“Mr. McClellan has agreed to act
A 8 your attorney.,” announced her
husband crisply. “T have told him all
you told me. He has come to hear
the facts of the case from your own
Hps.”
The coldness of the law-—not that
bonest Harvey had brought the law
to defend her-—was all that Marguret
saw. She shook her head despairing
1y as she replied:
“There is nothing more to tell! You
will ind a full record of the case
at police headquarters.”
McClellan Comforts Her.
. “Come, Mrs. Lake, you must help
me If you expect me to help you,”
sald MoClellan with the whole
learted kindness that might have
told the driven woman she had one
friend.
“It's no use—l give up the fight
I'm tired,” said Margaret Lake
wearily.
“You can’t give up the fight. You
were innocent?’ demanded rather
than suggested the lawyer.
“The State said I was guilty.”
“But you were innocent.”
There was a pause fraught with
emotion. When the wrong man
trusts & woman she suffers the
more because he can believe whlle‘
the man whose faith is all she asks
of life can not trust her, too. And
her wounded love can not reason
dispassionately to determine the
truth that the man to whom her

conclusion, giving the benefit of
doubts that are not torture's self to
him,
While the man who loves—he dare
not give faith again when faith has
once been destroyed, lest the final
proof of unfaith be too horrible when
proven true.
“Yes, 1 was innocent,” said Mar
garet, at last. “I don't expect my
husband to belleve me. * * My life
with him has been a lie from the
start—a terrible lle.”
The telephone bell, harbinger alike
of bliss unspeakable and of life’s most
terrible ill, rang. No one moved to
answer it. The three people faced
each other and shouted, as mortals
must, across seas of misunderstand
ing. At last Harvey answered the in
sistent summons of the jangling bell.
“Someone for you,” he said coldly
to Margaret.

By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN
DE WATER.
CHAPTER XLVIL
(Copyright, 1916, by Star Company.)
HE must keep lrer husband In a
good humor for her parents’
sake
Jane repeated this sentence over
to herself many times during the days
following her visit to her mother.
In everything she tried to do just
what Augustus wished,
She was sure that the money he
had lost in an unfortunate invest
ment had not amounted to much, for
he did not rémain depressed about it
Yot sho arked him timidly if there
was any way in which she couid
economize and thus “make up the dif
ference™ to him,
It was at the breakfast table, three
days after he had imparted to her the
news of his loss, that she put this
query. Augustus laid down his knife
and fork and looked at mer.
| “Well; Well!” he sald with
'rhuckle she hated, “you sure are -
;unl to be more thoughtful all the
time these days! 1 guess it did you
i:ood to have me speak my mind the
other night—eh? Now that you un
‘derstand me and just what I want,
you seém to show more sense.’” ;
“f~-T—only thought” she stam
mered, despising herself as he ex
pressed his approval, “that perhaps
we could live more cheaply than we
de. You ses, you buy the best of
everything, but I'm willing to have
plainer food if you want to economize
in that way.” |
“Well, 'm not willing,” he said,
smacking his lips ove rthe hot corn
bread soaked with butter which he
was devouring in huge mouthfuls, “I
like good things to eat and I mean to
have them. No, Jane, there isn't any
need for that kind of stinting. T did
lose some money, but I've got lots be
sides,” he added boastfully.
“] was a bit put eut about that in
vestment, but I can afford to lose
something néw and then. It might
geem a lot to you, but that's be
cause vour father never had a cent
to spare. He never was a success,
lnywa.x."
She felt the hot blood mount to her
cheeks. But for the sake of the man
Are Women Loyal to Women?
‘¢ O woman has any real friends,”
N sald ths Cynie, firmly. “A
man won't be a woman's
friend because {f he likes her well
enough to be loyal he promptly talls in
love with her. And women are never
loyal to one another because a man gen
erally steps in and prevents.”
Like most clever cynicisms this state.
ment comes tragically near being accu
rate. But there are rare cases in which
men and women are loyal friends to one
another——honest, kindly, truthful friends,
If loyalty of woman to woman existed
generally the world would bs an infin
itely happier place for most of the!
womeén who are finding life to-day rath
er a tragic affair, ‘
When two men admire the same wo
man they fight fair if they have any
ideal of manhood. It may even be that
one will step aside for the other—or
else they come out In the open and bat
tle honestly to see which one shall win
the love both want, :
When two women are in love with the
same man there is hideous likelihood
that they will resort to all sprts of
underhand metheds of gaining the love
each desires. Consider all the “pirates
of love’ who deliberately set about
stealing the affections of married men.
Consider the woman who meéts her
best friend’s fiance and uses every pos
sible wile to attract him. Is not either
type of woman an abhorrent creature
when viewed dispassionately? And vet
is either type rare? c
There is no theft more utterly con
temptibi¢ than the theft of affection. It
is in human nature—particularly in the
of whom he spoke slightingly ehe
must not resent this speech.
She Thanks Mary,
Mary Baird brought Aungustus &
socond cup of coffee—he always drank
at least two cups at each meal—and
Jana forced hersell to smile In de
clining the housekeeper's offar of
more for herself.
“No, 1 thank you, Mary,” she said.
But the cup 1 had was delicious, as
your coffes always 18"
The grateful gleam to which she
was becoming accustomed fNashed
from the black eves. When the door
had closed behind the woman, Au
gustus spoke. ‘
“See here, Jane, " he objected, “don’t’
be too kind to Mary. You'll spoll her
if you're not careful”
~ “Spoll her, Augustus? Oh, ne, 1
don't think so. I praise her cooking
occasionally, for she is a good eook,
as you have often told me. And I
speak pleasantly to her always, of
coursa.” ‘
“Well, don't talk too much to her. 1
like her to be quiet about her work. I
‘wouldn’t keep a person who gabbled
about her affairs to my wife. Mary
‘don't do that, doss she? 1 mean she
‘don’t talk over things with you, does
she?”
There was an ansious sound to the
!quu!lon that made the wifs look at
}hi.n. wondering.
. “Why, no; she néver talks about
ilnythm‘ or anybody,” Jane replied.
“I never knew such a sllent person.
‘hfl‘t she always like that?”
l “She always has been” Atgustus
sald, and there was a nots of relief
now in his tone. “But sometimes,
when one woman gets with another
she'll talk all the time. And I won't
have Mary troubling you that way.”
He was not usually so careful that
she should not be annoyed, Jane re
flected. She appsciated that now
would be a good time to broach the
subject that was on her mind and
heart.
“Augustus,” she sald timidly, “vou
say you don’'t llke me to be troubled;
but I am worried just now.”
“What about?’ he asked indiffer
ently. ! .
“About mother. She isn't well
She's worrying over the money father
owes.”
Augustus Sneers at Her.
“She might be used to that kind
of thing by now,” Augustus said
human nature—to be attracted by
something new. The woman who takes
advantage of this fact is disloyal to her
sex, and so really te her éwn woman
hood. '
Down in the business world women
ars constantly thrown into a relation
ship of *“‘congenial interests;” they have
work and ideas In common with the
men who go home tired at night into a
very different world from that where
114 their more buoyant enerjyles of the
day.
For the business 'womtn to take ad
vantage of her opportunity to make
he.self necessary to another woman’s
husband or fiance is a violation of every
principle of integrity. If she were to
put through a business deal with the
same l&ck of principle she shows in her
love dealings, the love thief would prob
ably find herselt arraigned in a crim
inal court.
~ Sex loyalty would prevent any decent
man from trying to steal another man's
job. It should act so with women, too;
but too often it does not.
. Now, what is at the base of all this?
Women are generally acknowledged to
be more sensitive than men and, to be
of finer moral fiber, and through ages of
clean living and morality to have bet
ter control over their emotions. Why,
then, should women Dbe disloyal to one
