Sue (Jwinne was kiiown as the

the only serious one In the lot. I sup

In love with Rue. Opposites take to

should have returned my proffered af

I couldn’t l>e sure for more than half
an hour at a time that she did. She
would say somethlnp very sweet to
me. ralsinp me to the pinnacle of ec
stasy, then cast me down by cold treat-

It seemed to delipht ber to make me

Dint fc«t of Oil behind me. excited the
laughter not only of thoae In the eet
with me, but every one In the room.
T£e antlce of the others to get out of
the way of my tall feathers were alone
enough to set the whole company Into
a bal*el of hilarity. One couple after
another stopped dancing to look at me
till at last the set 1 was with was the
only one remaining on the floor, the
others forming a ring around us to
laugh at me. 1 made a break to pet
| vay: but Sue caught me by the tall
and held me long enough for others to
interfere and put me back in my place.
And so 1 was forced to make a spec
tacle of myself for the others till the
end of the dance. Sue endeavored to
keep me steady by an occasional pres
sure of the hand or some other method
of coddling me. Rut my mortitlcation
and anger were gradually getting the
better of me, and, though I concealed
it, I was vowing vengeance on ber. It
occurred to me that no girl would thus
demean a man she felt any love for
and that she had taken this means of
showing her contempt for me.
By the time I bad finished this first
dance I was ready to leave the room,
take off my bird costume and go away
in anger. I think 1 should have done
ao had not l»nn Wilson, an intimate
man friend of mine, told me that but
one course remained to me to carry
out the Joke as though I enjoyed it
To give way to anger would only mal.e

Well. 1 simply yielded my consent to
make a fool of myself, because four
girls set themselves to the task of
forcing me to do so. Kaeh one of
them promised to make It easy for me
by their support, giving me the most
of their time and dances nt the ball,
though how I was to sweep that three
yards of tall around In a dance I did
not know, and they failed to explain.
We are any of us liable to do some
thing and afterward cannot under
stand how we were silly enough to
have done it, and this was a ease In
point with me. I knew all the while
that I should refuse to wear such a
costume, but I didn't have the stamina
In me to withstand these girls. Be

pear In It after the pains Sue had tak
en in designing and making it I would
break the thread that bound her to me
On the night of the ball I was oblig
ed to carry my costume to the building
where It took place and put It on there.

He represented that the poor girl was
suffering intensely in consequence of
her het and my treatment of ber was
little short of cruel.
So I wrote Sue that I had come to
the conclusion she had meant neither
harm nor disresjieot In providing me
with a bird of paradise suit and firing
the tail feathers, and begged that she
would not distress herself further
afbout It, especially since my wounds
were nearly healed.
This brought her to see roe. Kneel

face and made bold to kiaa away her

Any contemptible cause is good
enough to bring about an understand

the tail feathers of my bird of paradise

Father of All Hot Spring*. .
The Spmdel is the most ancient of
all Carlsbad's fountains, the father of
all hot springs, and still pours forth
in primeval vigor the greatest flood of
all. It rises like a geyser in its basin,
a steaming, spouting column an inch
and a half thick and from six to thir
teen feet high. Around it stands priest
esses, the spring-girls, dressed in
•white waterproof uniforms. They fix
the drinking cups at the end of poles
and catch the water as it comes fresh
from the earth's heart'. The peolo-
gists call Carlsbad's fountain virgin
or volcanic water. They have their
sources in no rainfall sinking to fill
subterranean reservoirs. Created in
those glowing inner laboratories of
the mother earth, the water here leaps
to light and air for the first time. Pa
gan memories seam to stir in oos
at the thought; tt becomes easy to ba
