Almost. But Not Quite,

[. had doubled no trump, he led me

during his dummy, saw him writing
Dur names on the back of an envelope,

my earliest opportunity went TO

a little while ago if | wanted a do

Yes, had put washing soda in the

for a domestic finish" said, coldly, as

The Spirit of Meekness.

You should make a special point of
asking God every morning to give you,
before all else, that true spirit of
meekness which he would have his
children possess. You must also make
a firm resolution to practice yourself
in this virtue, especially In your inter
course with those persons to whom
you chiefly owe it. You must make 1t
your main object to conquer yourself
in this matter; call it to mind hun
dred times during the day, commend
ing your efforts to God. 1t seems to
me that no more than this is needed
in order to subject your soul entirely
to his WILL and then you will become
more gentle day by day, trusting who'll
ly in his goodness. You will be very
happy, my dearest child, If you can
do this, for God will dwell in your
heart; and where he reigns all Ia
peace. But If you should fail and
commit some of your old faults, do not
be disheartened, but rise UP aid go on
again, as though you had not fallen

CHAPTER xIlT.-Continued,

II think you are very rude" I said
atSNast. "You fell over there and !
thought you were killed. The nerv-
GUS shock I experienced is just as bad
as If you had gone-all the way"
He put down the hammer and came
over to me without speaking. Then,
when he was quite close, he said:
"1 am very sorry If l startled you.
[ did not f1atter myself that you would
be profoundly affected, in any event"
"Oh, as to that" l said lightly, "it
makes me Ill for days If my car runs

lence. You are not going to get up
on that parapet again.
Mrs. Wilson," he said, without pay
ing the slightest attention to my ques-
ton, will you tell me what 1 have
done?"
"Done?"
"Or have not done? l have racked
my brains-stayed awake all of last
night. At first hoped it was imper-
sonal. that. womanlike, you were mere

particular individual. But-your hos

He was very grim by this time. "I

fortunate in that case
"Oh!" l was choking.
Under different circumstances 1

anything so-personal But the cir

angry step toward me. will you
tell me what have done? Or shall
go down and ask the others?"

Mr. HARRISON looked thoughtful rather
than merry. Aunt Selma had gone to
bed.
The idea, of course, was to start an
embryo fire just inside the windows,
in the pans, to feed it with the orange
fire powder that is used on the Fourth
of July, and when we had thrown
open the windows and yelled fire"
and all the guards and reporters had
escape quietly by rear door from
the basement kitchen, get into ma
chimes Dal had in waiting, and lose
ourselves as quickly as we could
You can see how simple it was.
Everyone rushed madly for motor
coats and wells, and Dal shuff1ed the
numbers SO the people going the same
direction would have the sane ma
chine. We called to each other as we
dressed about Marmaroneck or Lake
wood or wherever we happened to
have relatives. Everybody knew
everybody else, and his friends. The
Mercer girls were going to cruise un-

were going to Pinehurst, and Jim was
going to Africa to hunt, if he could
get out of the harbor.
Only the HARRISON man seemed to
have no plans; quite suddenly with the
world so near again. the world of coun-
try houses and steam yachts and al
the rest of 1t, he ceased to be one of
us. 1t was not his world at all. He
stood back and watched the kaleido-
scope Of our coats and wells, half-quiz-
zically. but with something in his
face that l had not seen there before.
If he had not been so self-reliant and
big, I would have said he was lonely
Not that he was pathetic in any sense
of the word. OF course, he avoided
me, which was natural and exactly
what | wished. Belle never was far
from him, and at the last she loaded
him with her jewel case and a muff

ONE THING MOST ESSENTIAL
IncuIcation of Good Manners Should
Be Moth as Chief object
With Her Children.

Some mothers lament that they can
not give their children advantages.
They cannot give them the education
they could like to, or the fine clothes.
They cannot send them to dancing
school, where they can get into So
ciety.
All these may be desirable things
to do, and a mother may be justified
in lamenting that she cannot do them.
But because sne cannot do these
things, she need not think she can
do nothing. She can, without cost,
give her children an advantage" that
often outvuls education and clothes
and position, in gaining them the de-
sirab,e things of life. She can give
them good Eunners.
The vaiue of good manners is in
estimable They open business doors
and social doors They win liking,
friendship, love. They smooth the
path of the man or woman wherever
he goes in the world.

the windows was an array of pans of
various sizes, dish pans, cake tins.
and a metal foot tub. The pans were
raised from the floor on bricks, and
seemed to be full of paper. All the
chairs and tables were pushed back
against the wall, and the bric-a-brac
was stacked on the mantel
Half an hour yet" Dal said, clos
ing his watch. Plenty of time, and
remember the signal, four short and
two long"
-Four short and two long-all right,
sir"
"And-F1annigan, here's something
for you, on account"
Thank you, sir"
Dal turned to go out, tripped over
the rug, said Something, and passed
me without an idea of my presence.

and l was left, huddled against the
wall, and alone.
1t was puzzling enough. -Four
long and two short!" "All but the
powder!" Not that 1 believed for a
moment what Max had said, and any
| how Flanagan was the sanest person

seemed part of the mystery that had

days. l felt my way across the room

passing under the window had sounded
! four short honks and two long ones.
| The signal was followed instantly by

from It's supports, and lay, quivering
and vibrating with horrid noises at
| my feet The next moment Mr. Harbi-
son had thrown open the door and
leaped into the room.
Who's there?" he demanded.
| Against the light l could see him
reaching for his hip pocket, and the
rest crowding up around him.
It's only me" l quavered. that is,

to me.

1 left him then. Dal had gone into
the reception room and closed the
doors. And because he had been act
ing so strangely, and partly to escape
from Max, whose eyes looked threat
ening, l followed him. Just as
opened the door quietly and looked in,
Dallas switched off the lights, and
could hear him cropping his way across
the room. Then somebody-not Dal
spoke from the corner, cautiously.
'Is that you, Mr.. Brown, sir?" It
was Flanagan.
"Yas Ia everything here?"
"All but the powder, sir. Don't
step too close. They're spread AL over
the place."

it showed something else. The rug
had been turned back from the win
dows which opened on the street, and
the curtains had been removed. On
