case of it might have BEEN If we had
met earlier. Goodbye
On the top of that had come the news
of D~orrison's return to the Towers, and
Sadie's anonymous letter had reused
his fears and made him terribly afraid
of his cousin. He was quite shrewd
enough to draw the inference she sug-
gested. He knew the truth as to Jack
Petherby's death; and while he was
bitterly disconnected, on Gertrude
Hamyl's account, that Eva was getting
better instead of worse, he was NOR
bidly convinced that if his life alone
should stand between Derrison and the
title and fortune, the same diabolical
cunning would be directed against him.
And he was an GORGEOUS coward.
His n idea was that if Eva died,
he would go abroad far out of Dorri-
sons reach and persuade Gertrude to
go with him.
Now, however, everything was fail
ing him. In a week Eva would leave
the Towers, and he cursed Sadie bit
terly as the cause of this. That it was
she who had thwarted the attempt on
Eva he had not even the faintest sus-
picion; neither did he see that it was

attempt to WOO Eva's regard.
What to do he was at a loss to de-
eide. He must have Dorrison's advice;
and to get that he must hide his new
fears of him, and he must keep away
from the whisky bottle lest the truth
should slip out.
Meanwhile, Sadie, on her part, was
strengthening her defences of Eva. I'm

a room which communicated with

which opened from the one room to the

have a reason for inducing Eva to fall
in with this plan at the last moment,
Sadie planned to have an urgent mes
sage calling her to Paris without a mo-
ment's delay.
She resolved, too, that as soon as Eva
was safely away in her charge, she
would write to both Broadstone and
Dorrison, telling them who she really
was. and what must be done.
AS a further step to disarm Dorri-
sons suspicious, she gave it out that it
would be nearer a fortnight than a
week before Eva would start for the
continent.
In the meantime, every night would
find her on the watch. Whatever
might be attempted against Eva now
would have to be some drastic step, and
the night time would thus be more dan
gerous than the day. Two or three
hours sleep in the day would enable
her to keep her night yigils, and ii
would be an easy matter to feign indis-
position and induce Eva to watch by
herNside while she slept.

chief topic now was the Forthcoming
tour, where they would go and what
they would see. Paris, Switzerland,
Rome, Venice, the Riviera, were on
their lips all the time. They read about
the places and discussed them, to Eva's
amending delight.
She grew enthusiastic in the contem-
plation of the journey, and took almost
a childish pleasure in settling details
and planning all manner of pleasant
jaunts.
That Dorrison had arrived, they knew,
and on the following morning he asked
permission to see Eva.

HIGH SCHOOL

The annual meeting of the Newark
High School Alumnae Association is
taking place in the Free Public Library
this afternoon. A new president will
be elected. as Mrs. James NJ. Seymour,
who has held that office for a long time,
recently expressed a determination to
retire. The nominating committee, oi
which Miss Mary H. Price is chairman,
has selected Mrs. Frederick H. Crum,
the vice-president, as a candidate for
the presidential Office.
Several of the officers hold over,
among which are those of three vice.
presidents, Mrs. William H. Brown,
Mrs. William e. Taylor and Mrs. Ever
ard r. Hopwood; corresponding secre-
tary, Miss Viola Breunig; treasurer,
Miss Margaret Hewitt; chairman of the
High School committee. Mrs. Henry L.
Colt, and chairman of the college loan
fund, Mrs. Samuel Clark.
Among the questions to come up for
discussion will be that of adopting a
constitution which requires one-third
of the officers to retire each year. 1t
is also planned to have six ~vice-presi-
dents instead of four. The three vice
presidents now in office are willing to
resign next year in order to begin on
the new system at once. Reports of
the various officers and chairmen of
committees will be received.

some show of disappointment.
II am not exactly that. Eva. l
shouldn't give the least weight to his
first reason. No one is likely to make a
scandal because you go abroad for a
few weeks, but you certainly would
find il more enjoyable a month hence"
Dorrison p%rudently said nothing, but
Sadie's intervention both pleased and
surprised him.
I'VE have talked so much about it
YOU have made me eager to get away, "
cried Eva. with a smile.
"Well. we could split the difference

would meet Mr.. Dorrison's point, and

leave. ''Then we may take that as
settled, Eva?' he asked, turning to
her.
Il am afraid So was the reply, with
a rueful glance at Sadie.
You won't regret it, dear" said the
latter. and Dorrison went away more
puzzled than ever as to Sadie. He
was getting near to the truth. IF the
Internal thing wasn't impossible l
should think she was actually number
one. BY gad!" he broke off suddenly.
THAT'S the resemblance-the nose in

photograph and scrutinized 1t eagerly,

And so it was settled between them.
and Sadie was able to hasten the prep
arations without causing any suspicious.
Indeed, there were very few to be made.
They were going 10 Paris. where every
thing they needed could be easily
bought.
Sadie planned therefore that a tele-
gram should reach her on the morning
of the third day after the talk with
Dorrison. and on that day she DETER

~suddenness of the departure with the
plea of her summons to Paris.
That night Sadie kept her vigil. but
without results: and the next morning

she slept for two or three hours. having
got from Eva a promise that she would
sit by her side.
In the afternoon they went for a drive
and returning through the village
stopped at the postofice. Sadie wished
to post the letter to her maid about the
telegram With her own hands.
She had bought some stamps and was
leaving the shop when Mr.. Gregory
came out from a room behind.
"oh. is that you, Miss Hutchinson"
he asked.
Yes"

surprise.

anyone at the Towers"
Sadie glanced at the girl behind the
postofflce desk, who was staring hard
at her. II think I had better speak to
you a minute in private she said.
He led her into q room behind.
"Dou you mean sorne one asked fon

then he fell into a train of thought
which ended in one of those ominous
smiles Of his.
A train of thought that was to have
many results.
Sadie's acquiescence in Dorrisons
proposal-that their our should be
postponed-had been a mere p~retense,
intended to lead him TO believe that he
would have more time for his schemes
The longer she could persuade him
to believe he had the more time he
was sure to take TO mature his plans.
Every day was of consequence, she
felt; every hour almost. She was fight
ing against a man who was ready to
take desperate chances; and he knew
quite as we'll as she, that If Eva were
once away from Broadstone the diff
iculties he would have TO overcome
would be immensely increased.
And Eva had shown that she would
readily enough fall in with Sadies plan
for a sudden departure.
Il wish you hadn't urged me to stay
here longer, Margaret" she said, after
Dorrison had left them. Il would
rather have gone on the day we fixed

morning and the skirt that is donned
in the afternoon when n goes calling.
Few separate dress skirts are used
with calling gowns since the incoming

used enough to show the great COM

even though it must be a tailored style
to be worn with the coat. has a smarter
finish than the morning skirt.
