1AM not naturally a curious person, but the incident of the falling locket fastened itself upon my imagination, and refused to be Bhaken off. Miss Holcombe had pounced upon it with all the eagerness of a tigress defending her young. I smiled in self-ridicule at the outworn simile, but nothing else expressed the manner in which the efficient ironical teacher with the flaming hair had pushed me aside, and had snatched the opened bauble from the floor. Fortunately I had obtained no glimpse of the contents of the locket. But that It held some face which Miss Holcombe wished no one to see was an easy deduction.

But even as I stood staring after her she had rushed out of the room as soon as she had recovered the locket, flinging a hasty murmur about being late over her shoulder another thought struck me. Was the face In the locket one that I would have recognized? The End of the First Day. I scored myself for my fantastic Imagining, but the thought persisted. I am not usually mistaken in first Impressions, and I was sure that Miss Alice Holcombe was a young woman of unusual poise. It didn't seem probable that she would lose her self-possession so completely over the lockefs opening If it had contained some face which I had never seen, in all probability would Rever see.

A score of bizarre possibilities flashed through my mind and out again. Was my Identity, In reality, a familiar one to Miss Holcombe? Was the face in her locket that of some one near and dear to both of us? Was that the reason for her tactful kindness to me? I found my brain growing dizzy with the possibilities I was conjuring out of space, and really was glad for the rush of steps in the hall, telling me that it was time to forget Impalpable Imaginings, and to face the very concrete realities of my new pupils. I didn't catch anything but the most fleeting of glimpses of Miss Holcombe again until the end of the day, a day which left me physically fatigued, but mentally keyed to a pitch I hadn't known for years. With the realization that the first day of contact with the turbulent, youthful spirits who were to be my charge would take the measure of my success for the year, I flung into those first hours every bit of skill and experience possessed. And as the last boy passed out of hie room I relaxed Into my chair with a long breath almost a sob of relief.

For I knew that, as far as the pupils were concerned, my success was assured. There would be clashes with individuals, no doubt, there would be other grave problems to be solved, but my greatest victory was won. It was fully a quarter of an hour before I rose from my chair, for I found It almost a necessity to sit motionless, quiet, for a little, in order to calm my racing pulses, my keyed-up spirits. When I did rise It was In greeting to Miss Holcombe, who came hurriedly into the room, closing the door behind her noiselessly, but first giving a quick glance up and down the corridor outside. There was something in her manner which to my overwrought imagination appeared furtive, fearful.

But it needed no Imagination to see that her usual poise was shaken. She made a brave attempt at nonchalance, however. "Aren't you glad there no teachers meeting tonight? Mr. Slockbriiige does have a grain of sense once in a while, and he allowed this noon that tomor row night would do as well. So you'll not have the ordeal of meeting your as our worthy principal calls us, at the end of this 'perfect There are one or two of 'em yet In the building, but most of them have de parted from our midst as fast as their feet could carry them."

Old people and fat individuals can curb many an appetite by chewing thoroughly a wee bit of pabulum, such as a piece of grlstls, instead of gratifying it by eating ravenously until the diner feels as bloated as an English pudding bag. The will to control the appetite and the knowledge that many of the ills blamed upon old age and obesity are really due to overeating, should be put into practice.

A breakfast of a coffee-malt substitute, oatmeal or barley muffins, a little sugar and hot skim milk, butter and one corn muffin or hominy should suffice for most of those between 60 and 70. A mid-day meal of potatoes, fricassee of chicken, sliced toast, butter, salad, Ice cream, tea, sugar, beans and milk ought to answer any need. The evening meal may be either a vegetarian-fruit combination or one made up of an egg, rice, codfish cake, apple sauce, peanut butter, cookies, corn bread, berries, cocoa, prunes, lettuce or sliced frosted cake.

SITTING by my Are these winter days, while there is a little quiet, I am thinking of two girls, Margie and Louise. Margie sat here only a few minutes ago with her head resting on the arm of my chair, and told me why there is sometimes a cloud resting upon her beautiful young face.

She is a bright girl, just out of her school days, not quite nineteen, and she has a happy home, except for one thing there are no brothers and sisters. Margie was an only child, and I sometimes think talnly once been young, do not remember what It Is to have the bounding life of youth pressing for expression? Why do so many people make of home a kind of jail for their young folks? Louise looks upon her father as a sort of cross, crabbed jailer, and for her mother she has little but sympathy and pity, for the poor mother haa become fretful and nagging, and it la the custom of the family to be as disagreeable as possible, though I don't believe they realize it They have just absorbed the atmosphere of Bullen, crude dlsagreeableness from the head of the house. What a responsibility these parents have taken upon themselves in crushing life and joy out of their house and at the same time taking the careless sweetness of youth out of their children!

"Wonder what kind of a ship it'll be!" Betty laughed to herself. "A fltia one!" exclaimed a merry voice, and Gocomeback alighted In front of his little friend.

"The kind of ship you've never had the pleasure of riding on before." "But I thought deserts were all sand!" replied Betty. "Maybe it's a sand boat!" and Go comeback laughed at the funny expression on Bettv'a face. "Ready? Then We're on our way." Before Betty could hllnk her eye they were sailing through the air. Over the mountains and seas they flew until at last they reached a small prreen Island in a sea of yellow sand. (Several humped-back animals that Betty knew to be camels, lay cooling them selves in the shade of the scanty foliage afforded while their masters talked to cether.

Off In the distance rose great heaps pf stone which Gocomeback told Betty were the pyramids of Egypt. Gocomeback spoke to one of the dark-faced men, and after much merriment he led one of the camels to Betty's side. The great, long-legged, hump-backed animal, ohewlng its cud, and rolling 1U sjreat big brown eyes, bent Its front knees so Betty could climb upon his back. Betty straddled the gTeat tan creature and leaning back against one of Its bumps, she held on tightly to the other. Gocomeback jumped upon the camel's head and waving good-by to its master, "How Funny I' she started over the sea of sand toward the pyramids.

"Now," laughed Gocomeback, "you're tiding on 'the ship of the as the camel is called in these sandy countries." "How funny!" laughed Betty. "I was thinking of a great big boat with great white sails." "To carry you over a desert!" exclaimed Gocomeback. "No. camels or donkeys are the only ships that sail over the seas of sand. More camels than donkeys, however, for the camel can carry water In his own body to last him several days, for in crossing the desert wells are far and few." They visited all the pyramids, passed down the edge of the Nile and stopped to see an old, old temple with its walls covered with pictures cut In the rocks-pictures of gods, goddesses, kings and all aorta of animals.

Betty was sorry when Gocomeback said it was time they were returning home, for she was enjoying the trip so much. "While the motion of riding in the ship of the dessert isn't the same as that of sailing in a ship of the sea, I must (say that I rather like It," laughed Betty when they again reached home. "It eecma so funny to sit between the two great humps on his back." Thanking Gocomeback for her trip, Betty ran into the house to get her lessons.

These girls are both attractive, they are good dancers, but for some reason, Margie tells me with a really tragic look, she and her friends, when they go to little parties and dances, are regular, out-and-out wall flowers. But Louise has a 'wise little head of her own, and she endures around her with wonderful grace.

I believe she finds In herself "It ia not beaux I'm after, I only strength to endure disagreeable conditions through being a very kindly like most girls of my age," says Margie.

"Don't tell me to take up some serious work and, outside of business hours, improve my mind, and then perhaps when I'm about twenty-five some Prince Charming will come on the scene.

She'll get out of this environment some day, and, whatever happens, Louise can be trusted, even though her crabbed old father doesn't realize It.

I suppose there are many girls like them in the world, and that is why I write about them here.

I faced her steadily. "On my word of honor, no," I an-twered. "May I not add that If I had peen it, the secret whatever it might be would have been safe with me?" She returned my glance steadfastly for a long minute, evidently appraising me critically, earnestly. "I knew it," she said abruptly.

"And we'll never refer to it again. I've been a fool to wear it. I shall put it away now where it belongs. Good-night and thank you." She went out of the room as quickly as she had come.

Began to Break Up. The first peoples the Huns encountered were the Goths, who had formed a great kingdom in the land north of the Danube. Like a whirlwind the Huns came over the mountains and fell upon them. Some of the Goths submitted to the invaders. Others crossed the Danube and settled In the Roman Empire.

But the Goths were so badly treated by one of the Roman emperors that they fought great battle against the Romans and killed this emperor. The Goths were never driven out of the empire, but strangely enough the lasting kingdom they founded was not In the lands they entered, but far to the west The Roman Empire began to show signs of decaying. Various emperors rose and fell in different provinces, and the government was frequently changing. A halt in the disintegrating process occurred during the reign of Theodoslus, who, however, is best remembered because he submitted to a penance at the hands of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan. He was the last emperor' to rule over the whole Roman Empire.

In the year 410 the West-Goths, who had revolted against the empire, took and sacked Rome. The barbarians had conquered the city that once had. boen mistress of the world.

Fortunately, the long draped lines, so plct-turesqucly in vogue at the present are especially adapted to adding Inches to the appearance.

Time after time the Roman legions tried to conquer them and to seize their lands, but without any lasting success. On the contrary, tht3e people dlsaster-ously repulsed the Roman legions and at various times threatened the very existence of the empire. Sometimes these peoples pushed Into the empire and individuals took service in the Roman legions.

At other times a Gothlo or other chieftain would hold the title of King of his own country, and also bear the title of Roman general or magistrate, and so a wnoie people served in the Roman Unions. But as frequently as they fought for Rome they fought against Rome. It all depended on how well or how badly they were treated. In these relations, the Gothlo and other peoples learned military discipline and something of Roman civilization. Borne of them became Christians' after they settled In the empire, but others became Christians of the Arian sect, while still barbarians.

Thus it happened that whole provinces were settled by these peoples, most of whom were Christians. There now occurred an event that was destined to result in the breaking up of the Roman Empire and its conquest by these peoples. In far off China the Huns were driven out Once masters of China they now became wanderers, and moved westward. As the Teutonic peoples had pressed the Celts westward, so now the Huns In their turn pressed upon the Teutonic peoples and drove them westward and southward. The movement of the Teutonic peoples Into the Roman Hroplra which had already begun was hastened by this pressure.
