CHAPTER WI. Continued,

Well, It ended by Jims graciously
permitting Bella to remaln-there be-
ing nothing else to do--and by his
magnanimously agreeing to keep her
real identity from Aunt Selma and Mr..
HARRISON, and 70 break the news OF
her presence to Anne and the rest. 1t
created sensation beside which
Anne's pearls faded away. although
they came to the front again soon
enough.
Jim broke the news at once, gather
ing everybody but HARRISON and Aunt
Selma in the upper hall. He was
palpitatingly nervous. but he tried to
carry II off with high hand.
IT'S unfortunate" he said. looking
around the circle of faces. each one
frozen with amazement, and Just a
suspicion, perhaps. of incredulity.
It's particularly unfortunate for her.
You all know how high-strung she is,
and If the papers should get hold of 1t
well, wen all have to make 1t as
easy as we can for her.
With Jims eye on them. they all
swallowed the butler story without a
gulp. But Anne was indignant.
It's like Bella" she snapped. We'll,
she has made her bed and she can lie
on It, Pm sure I shan't make 1t for
her. But II you want to know my
opinion. Mr.. HARRISON may be fool,
but you can't ram two Bellas. both nee

We had not thought of that before
and every one looked blank. Finally,
however, Jim said Bella's middle name
was Constantine, and we decided to
call her that But it turned out after
in hurry, and generally when we
wanted to attract her attention, we
walked across the room and touched
her on the shoulder. 1t was quicker
and safer,
Tho name decided. we went down
stairs In line to welcome Bella, to
try to make her feel at home, and to
forget her deplorable situation. Leila

We stopped outside the door, and
everybody tried to look cheerful and
sympathetic and not grinny--which
was as hard as looking as If we had
had cup of tea-and then Jim
threw the door open and we filed in
Bella was comfortably reading by
the fire. She had her feet up on
a stool and pillow behind her head.

Surely Has Been Hot.

Some sage has said that the true man
never makes excuses for himself. but
only for others. When the Thermometer
ranges around 100 In the shade all OF
us are mighty apt to feel that the hot
weather offers splendid excuse for a
cessation OF work. But we should re-
call that no matter what the tcmpera-
ture certain lines of business must 20
forward or somebody will suffer. Can
you think OF anything more important
than life insurance? The hot wave has
killed hundreds OF people and IT has put
into the minds of hundreds of the iiv :
ing, very vividly. too. the thought OF
the uncertainty OF life, thereby making
them especially impressionahle to talk
on life insurance, II Is n fact that So
licitors who make II point to get busy
when others are disposed to lay off are
the ones that reap the greatest success.
We know OF some very high -Ernde life
