CHAPTER XIX.
Helen Takes Me to Task.

l paced the breezy terrace at Glen
arm, studying my problems, and stun
bling into new perplexities at every
turn. My judgment has usually served
me poorly in my own affairs. which l
have generally conf1ded to Good Luck,
that mosts amiable of goddesses; and
l glanced out upon the lake with some
notion, perhaps, Of seeing her fairy
sail drifting toward me. But there, to
my vexation, hung the Stiletto, scarce
ly moving in the indolent air of noon.
There was, l felt again, something sin
lister in the very whiteness Of its
pocket-handkerchief of canvas as it
stole lazily before the wind. Did Miss
Pat, in the school beyond the wall, see
and understand, or was the yacht
hanging there as a menace or stimulus
to Helen Holbrook, to keep her alert
in her fathers behalf?
There are ladies' to see you, SIR"
announced the maid, and found
Helen and Sister Margaret waiting In
the library.
The sister, as though by prearrange-
ment, went to the farther end Of the
room and took up a book.
Il wish to see you alone" said Hell
en-, land l didn't want Aunt Pat to
know l came" and she glanced toward
Sister Margaret, whose brown habit
and nuns bonnet had merged into the
shadows of remote alcove.

Pink and white became her; she put
aside her parasol and folded her un.
glOved hands, and then, as she spoke
her head went almost imperceptibly to
one side, and l found myself bending
forward as / studied the differences
between her and the girl on the Tippe
canoe. Helen's lips were fuller and
ruddier, her eyes darker, her lashes
longer. But there was another differ
ence, too subtle for my powers O,
analysis; something less obvious than
the length of lash or the color of eyes
and l was not yet ready to give a
name to 1t. OF one thing was sure.
MY pulses quickened before her: and

DRAGGING Their Hosiery.

Little Arlene was familiar with the
appearance OF the garden hose at
home. but when she observed a line Of
hre hose. with its great length and
bulk lying serpent-like in the street,
she Immediately inquired what it was.
Her mother replied that was firemen's
hose. and the child went on watching
the fire.
In the meantime two additional fire
companies dashed up. and these newly
arrived fire fighters were carrying
their respective lines toward the burn
ing building. when little Arlene spied
them.
"Oh. mamma" she cried. craning
her neck out Of the crowd, here
comes more firemen dragging their
hosiery behind them!"-Lippincott

But that does not help my fathers
case any"
I'VE will see about that. You are
right about him; he's really a most
amusing person, and not fool, except
for his own amusement. He is shrewd
enough to keep clear of Miss Pat, who
dislikes him intensely on his fathers
account. She feels that the senior Gill
lespie was the cause Of all her trou-
bles, but don't know Just why. She's
strongly prejudiced against the young
man, and his whimsicalities do not ap-
peal to her."
II suppose Helen cares nothing for
him; he acted toward me as though
he'd been crushed. and IL tried to be
nice to him to make up for It,"

looked out upon the creek that ran

were a strange family, these Hol-

affairs multiplied. How to prevent

they had vanished; and how to save
Miss Pat and Helen-these things
possessed my mind and heart. l sat

WOLVES AND THE LAMB.

Interesting Way.

DILL SKINNER was a gentleman
ID of loud, tamboyant clothes, OF
red and yellow neckties and OF
most obtruSive hose. He always flash
ed the sort of roll that's said to choke
COW, and many wondered whence it
came and where and why and how. fol-
Bill he squandercd like a kilA. yet
hardly seemed to do Il thing.
But presently it came about that all
the people knew exactly what Bill did
to liye-nOt only what, but who, for
Bill he was q gambler bold who lived
by cards and such. He made his mon
ey easy, and he liked It very much.
q said the people knew his trade
they had no chance to doubt 1t except
the cynical police, who hadn't heard
about it.')
Well, William had trick or two
that he knew how to play, and so he
coaXed the lambskinS in and Shcarcd

weeks went on still broader grew his
smile and fatter grew his roll until

One day Ghe plot begins to knott
Bill found the missing link" a loose
Tipped, gawky country zap who scarce
ly seemed to think-"a NOPE" said
Bill, IAN easy boob, a sucker and n
gink" But he had sold his crops for
gold Tor that's the story that he told.
and he was ripe, a cinch, a pipe"
Bill's talk, you know, was of that
stripe.
SO Bill he telephoned his pals (of cap
pers he had three and said, Il have n
juicy thing; come hither, boys, and
see, and we will take its cash away
as quickly as may be-"
And now you plainly see the end; it
couldn't be more clear. The country
boy-I see you wink-was not an easy
moke. He won, of cOurse-they always
do in tales like this one here-and
when he quit the little game he had the
gamblers broke.
But-thiS is not the way it went,
however well your guess was meant,
and you will have to be content with
something very different They work

he was one and they were three and
plucked that sucker handily. They
got his cash, his watch and chain; they
won his next years crop of grain, his

They put him on the homebound train.
and then they counted up their gain
ten thousand to a dot. They laughed
with laughter coarse and rough; they
said, Say, he was easy stuff; we've

and fed afar. l can't inform you
