There was a certain uneaslness II
that moment OF compapionship. Il
seemed to him that Eve wished t.
speak, but hesitated. Once CIR twice
she opened and closed the fan that she
was carrying, then at last, as II by nj
effort, she turned and looked at him.
"Why were you so cold to Bobby

you did,"

that it was Blessington whom he had

had spoken with. vague politeness-
came to him with a sense Of unpleas
antness. He was not to blame In the
matter, nevertheless he blamed him

have made the slip In Ewes presence.

pered something in her ear. Again
the sensation OF futility and vexatlon

world. Then, us his feelings reached
their height and speech seemed forced
upon him, small man with round
face, catching glimpse Of Eve, dart

toward them With an unjdst touch
of irritation he recognized Lord Bran

Again the sense of Ewes aloofness
stung him as their host approached.

through the long corridors and down
the broad fight Of steps that led to the
conservatory.
The conservatory was feature Of
the Bramfell town house, and to Loder
1t came as something wonderful and
unlocked for, with it's clustering green
branches, its slight, unoppressjve
scents, Its temporarily pleasant atmos>
phere. He Se1t no wish to speak as,
still guided BY Blessington, he passed
down the shadowy paths that in the
half light had the warmth and mystery
Of n southern garden. Here and there
from the darkness came the whisper
ing of voice or the sound Of laugh,
bringing witt It the necessary touch Of
life. Otherwise the place was still.
Absorbed by the air Of solitude, con-
trasting so remarkably with the noise
and crowded glitter left behind In the
reception rooms, he had moved half
way down the long green aisle before
the business In hand came back to him
with sudden sense OF annoyance. 1t
seemed so paltry to mar the quiet Of
the place with the absurdity Of side
show. He turned to Blessington with
touch Of abruptness.
"What am expected to do?' he
asked.
Blessington looked up, surprised.
''Why, thought, sir" he began; then
he instantly altered his tone. "Oh,

He had an infectious laugh, and Lo-

"But what am to do?" he persisted.
"Oh, nothing. Being the priestess, she
naturally demands acolytes, but she'll
let you know that she holds the prior
place. The tent is so fixed that she
sees nothing beyond your hands, so
there's absolutely no delusion." He
laughed once more Then suddenly
he lowered his voice and slackened his
steps. "Here we are" he whispered
In pretended awe.

"But I'm working this OIL commercial

he began; then he stopped. Bramfell
had reached them.
The little man came up smiling and
with an outstretched hand. There's
no penalty for separating husband and
wife, Is there, Mrs. Chilaote? How are
you, Chilcote2" He turned from one
to the other with the quick, noiseless
manner that always characterized him.
Loder turned aside to hide his vexa-
ton, but Eve greeted their host with
her usual self possessed smile.
You are exempt from all penalties
tonight" she said. Then she turned to
greet the members OF his party who
lad strolled across from the window
in his wake.
AS she moved aside Bramfell looked
at Loder. "Well, Chilcote, have you
dipped into the future YETI" he asked
with laugh.
Loder echoed the laugh, but said
nothing. In his uncertainty at the
question he reverted to his old re-
source of silence.
BTamfell raised his eyebrows.
"Whatw he said. Don't tell me that
my sister-ln-law hasn't engaged you

Eve looked round from the lively
group by which she was surrounded.
''Lillian's crystal gazing? Why, of
course. she said. "She should make
a very beautiful seer. We are all quite
curious"
Bramfell pursed up his lips. "She
has very beautiful tent at the end
of the conservatory. 1t took five men
as many days to rig 1t up. We could
not hear ourselves talk for hammer
ing. My wife said 1t made her feel
quite phllanthropic, 1t reminded her SO
much OF charity bazaar"
Everybody laughed. and at the same
moment Blessington came quickly
across the room and joined the group.
"Hello!" he said. Anybody seen
Witcheston? He's next on my list for
the crystal business"
Again the whole party laughed, and
Bramfell. stepping forward, touched
Blessingtop's arm in mock seriousness.
"Witcheston Is playing bridge, like
a sensible man." he said. Leave him
IN peace, Bobby"

to the left Loder heard the sound or
splashing water, and on his right hand
he caught his first glimpse Of the tent
that was his goal.
1t was an artistic little structure--a
pavilion formed Of silky fabric that
showed bronze in the light Of an orien-.

As they drew closer man emerged

Blessington laughed. you want too

to Loder, drawing him forward with
an energetic pressure Of the arm.
Loder responded, and as he did 80 q
flicker of curiosity touched his mind
for the first time. He wondered for
IN instant who this woman WINS who
aroused SO much comment. And with
the speculation came the remembrance
Of how she had assured Chilcote that
on one point at least he was invulner-
able. He had spoken then from the
height Of past experience AN expe-
rience so fully passed that he wonder
ed now II it had been as staple a guar
antee as he had then believed. Mans
capacity for OUTLYING is astonishingly
complete, The long ago incident In the
Italian mountains had faded, like a
crayon study in which the tones hare
merged and gradually lost character.
The past had paled before the present,
as golden hair might pale before black.
The slmile came with apparent irrele-
vance. Then again Blessington pressed
his arm.
Now, sir!' he said, drawing away
and lifting the curtain that hung before
the entrance Of the tent.
Loder looked at the amused, boyish
face lighted by the hanging lamp and
smiled pleasantly; then, with q shrug
Of the shoulders, he entered the pa.
yiIion. and ',,e curtain fell behind him.

REV. |. E. WILSON ON SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY Topic Suggested by Present Financial Situation Pre- sented at Epworth
 Church.
SPIRITUAL BALANCE
Things for Which We Are h. debted to God-Godly Pa rents and Our Re
 demption.

At Epworth M. E. church last even- ing, the pastor. Rev. II. E. Wilson, preached a sermon in which his text was taken from St. Luke, 16:5, How much owest thou unto my Lord?" His topic was Spiritual Bankruptcy sug- gested by the cases of temporal bank ruptcy which have occurred in the past few weeks.
 After referring to the parable in which the text is found, Mir. Wilson continued: While this question does not have reference to our indebtedness to God, 1t is very suggestive of such obligations. It appears that this coun- try has been passing through a finan- cial crisis. Old and honored institu- tions have gone to the wall, and there seems abroad a perfectly appalling mania for suicide Financial leaders tell us that this is an entirely normal experience which we have undergone that We are merely shaking off false growths and excrescences.
 But what if we were to sit down and strike a spiritual balance sheet? Sup pose the One to. whom we are in debt should adopt the worldly measure o. foreclosure? Would we not be spirit ually bankrupt? How much owest thou unto my Lord?" We have just passed the Thanksglvtng season and have shared the joys of home. To seek no farther, how much do you owe

 She collapsed under the strain when she reached her room dn the lower corridor of the court house. It was necessary to administer restoratlves before she could return to the jail

FELL THREE STORIES.
Bridgeport Woman Meets With
 Serious Accident.

Bridgeport, Dec. Mrs, George Teabout of 965 East Main street fell three stories to cement pavement Saturday, and landed on her left side. She fractured two ribs and sustained number of bad bruises, but as near ly as could be ascertained was not otherwise injured.
 Mrs. Teabout lives in a house which faces on a court opening into Ster- lings livery stables She was washing window on the third story of the house when the little platform on which she was standing gave way, and she fell eully twenty feet to the cement court below.
 The mortified witnesses of the affair thought that she had surely been killed apd a hurry call was sent for the ambulance corps. Dr. Krause of the emergency hospital applied tenn porary dressings to the woman's in- juries, and caused her to be conveyed to the Bridgeport hospital.
 At that institution it was stated that she seemed to be all right with the exception of the fractured ribs on the left side, and would probably recover.
