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 great charm that halted a happiness she had a sultry thirst to grasp, ueorge Lee-Vernon would have loved 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 itude, ; .Being no hermit, he got quick ly, through kindly gossip, the low- down on the sisters—they had run away,from worrying elders to May- wold, for a freedom cure—self-ap- tPointed, Se«t on big dogs and saddle stock ahead, fetched along Tobe and his wife Maria, as ■ faithful as they were black. - , 3 When at last by Fate’s decree, he got sight of them, ,it ;was to And the half had not been told hint. Sight came to pass upon the third,day of shooting in this wise—else it might never have come at all. Maywold was open ground—anyone who would might shoot there. Besides, the fin- tilled land overgrown with thickets, briars and sedge, provided the West, of cover which upon a mild October morning was .vocal with calling Bob Whites. Lee-Vernon would have stopped ears to the Calllng-there was no stopping the dogs, nor the other men. Kor an hour the blurry boom of shotguns filled all the sunlit world- sport often dreamed of, rarely met with, made the sportsmen careless of everything else.: Of the orchard just .beyond, the shallow rainpool whence their dogs lapped thirstily, the crash- surge through an overgrown hedge of sleek sinuous bodies—an airedale, a mastiff, a greyhound, which fell upon the. other dogs with sportive barks, overset them, tumbled, them about, pretending. to growl. Bemis a v sitor, i°ve d his dog, a champion,’ a bit better than himself—instantly he fired both barrels above the squirm* Wg mass, crying wildly: “Stop that > Stop, I say !” TO? , “Stpp (Something yourself,” 1 , a sav voice cried, just as a ripe red annlo took him full, between the eyes The rest looking up saw Priscilla,' bare headed, flushed and laughing Arched perilously in an apple crotch, and c inging with one hand to a slender high bough.

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.”, Has Self Arrested, but Can’t Get Guilty Verdict .
