If plans now under consideration are
adopted, this town will enjoy one of the
biggest days In Its history. 1t has been
proposed to hold demonstration In 1918,
to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary
of the organization Of the order knights
of Pythias In this country. AS the first
lodge in the state was instituted here,
and as the late Samuel Read, who was
father of the order In thirteen different
states, lived In this town, where is locat-
ed the state Pythian monument, Mount
Holly is considered a fitting place fol
holding such q celebration In New Jersey
In the year mentioned, Samuel A. Dob
bins, of Brainard street, who now holds
the Office of Grand Master at Arms, will
become Grand Chancellor of the state
body, and for that reason the grand lodge
viii sanction Mount Holly as very 1T
ting place for carrying out the exercises
incident to such an event. Through the
respective grand lodges all subordinate
lodges In several nearby states will be In
vited to participate or send representa-
tives. It is believed that with the attend
ance from this state. together with thos,
who would come from New York, Penn
sylvania and Delaware, that at least IF
teen thousand strangers will invade the
town. In the event of New Jersey Lodge
No. 1, taking hold of this matter, the an
nual Field Day Of the Uniformed Rank
which is always held in the upper part o
the state. would be feature. Their
would be street parade with many band
Of music, and the programme Of field ex
ercises would be carried on the fai
grounds. where the visitors would be fet
and otherwise entertained. An effort vii
be made to get some idea Of the assistance
that may be looked for from our business
men before the matter is considered TO

water in Park Lane was white, with
green blinds and green balconies;
beautiful, distinguished and old, mel
low with traditions, and the tide of
fashion poured its stream into the
MUSHROOM to listen to the Sunday
concert. Without, the day was bland
and beautiful, mild spring in the deep
sweet air, and already the bloom lay
over the park and along the turf. Pic
cadilly was ablaze with flowers, and in
the windows and in the flower-wo-
mems baskets they were so sweet as
to make the heart ache and to make
the senses thrill. Keen to the spring
beauty, the last guest to go into the
drawing-room of the Duchess of Break
water was the young American man
in whom the magic of the season had
stirred the blood. He seemed the
youngest and the brightest guest to
cross the sill of the great house whose
debts he was going to pay, and whose
future he was going to secure with
American money.
Close after him a motor car rolled
up to the curb, and under the awning
Lefty Lane passed quickly, as though
thistledown, blown into the distin.
guished house. The actress was taken

treat a beggar so. But she's got too
much sense to care"
Eager to do the duchess justice,
even though he was little by little be-
ing emancipated, he was all the more
determined to be fair to her.
1T was too sweet of her not to
mind. l dare say her check helped to
soothe her feelings" the woman said
You don't know her." he replied
quietly. "She wouldn't touch cent"
The duchess exclaimed in horror:
"Then she did mind
And he turned slowly: "She's
eaten and drunk with kings, and if
the king hadn't gone so early you can
bet he would have set the fashion
differently. Let's drop the question.
She sent you back your check, and
guess you're quits"
With a. sharp note in her voice she
said: Il hope it won't be in the papers
that you drove bareheaded back to the
hotel with her. Don't forget that we
are dining with the Galorey's, and it's
past seven.'
After Dan had left her, the duchess
glanced over the dismantled room
which the servants were already re-
storing to order. She was not at ease
and not at peace, but there was some
thing else besides her tiff with Dan
that absorbed her, and that was Ga
lorey. She couldn't quite shake him
off. He was beginning to be imperi-
Gus in his demands on her; and, in
spite of her cupidity and her debts,
in spite of the precarious position in
which she found herself with Dan, she
could not break with Galorey yet. She
went upstairs humming under her
breath the ballad Lefty Lane had sung
in the music room:

A Woman's Way.

When the duchess thought of look
ing for Blair later in the afternoon he
was not to be found. Galorey told her
finally he had gone off in the motor
with Lefty Lane, bareheaded. The
duchess was bidding good-by to the
last guest; she motioned Galorey to
wait and he did SO, and they found
themselves alone in the room where
the flowers, still fresh, offered their
silent company; the druggets strewn
with leaves of smilax, the open piano
with its scattered music the dark rose

mess Of things between Dan and him
self, and feeling sure that some of his
advice had gone home. After a mo-
ment's silence, Dan Blair's son said:
"I'm going up to London tomorrow
For long?"
Don't know"
Then returning with boyish simple.
It to their subject, which Galorey
thought had been dropped, Dan said:

When later for thov bod hoon IN

entrance of the lady herself, Gordon,
as Ruggles had done, mentally thought
OF the flowing tide of life, and how it
flowed over what he himself had call

CHAPTER XVI.
The Musicale PROGRAM.

The duchess ran Dan, made plans
set the pace, and they were very much
in evidence during the season. The
young American, good-natured and
generous, the duchess beautiful and
knowing, were the observed of Lon
don, and those of her friends who
would have tolerated Dan on account
OF his money, ended by sincerely lik-
Ing him. The wedding-day had not
been fixed as yet, and Dan was not so
violently carried away that he could
not wait to be married. Meanwhile
Gordon Galorey thanked God for the
delay and hoped for a miracle to
break the spell over his friends son
before it should be too late. In early
May the question came up regarding
the musicale. The duchess made her
list and arranged the Sunday after.
noon and her performers to suit her
taste. and the week before lounged in
her boudoir when Dan and Galorey
appeared for late morning call.

Besides. being an artistic event, she
intended that the concert should serve
to present Dan to her special set. She

But he held her still more firmly
and kissed her several times before he
finally set her free, and went out of
the house misera ble-bound to her by
the strongest chains-bound in his
conscience and by honor to his trust
to Dams father, and yet handicapped
by another sense of honor which de-

the end.

tinued, 'but l don't hesitate to tell you
that l have done everything l could to
save the boy"
She accepted this philosophically
"Ch, I knew you would; l quite ex-
pected it, but" and in the look she
threw at him there was more liking
than resentment-'T knew you. too;

irritation, and laughed

angry gesture.

loathsome."
Her companion met her eyes direct
ly. She left her chair and came and
sat down beside him on the small
sofa. AS he did not move, or look at
her, but regarded his cigarette with
interest, she leaned close to him and
whispered "Gordcn, try to be nice
and decent. Try to forget yourself.
Don't you see what wonderful
chance it is fer me, and that, as far as
You and I are concerned, it can't GO

The face of the man by her side
grew somber. The charm this woman
had fer him had never lessened since

her, long before his marriage, and
they were both too poor.

He rose and stood over her, looking
down at her beautiful form and her
somewhat softened face, but his eyes
were hard and his face very pale.
"You had better go, Gordon" she
said slowly; you had better go. -
Then, as he obeyed her and went
like fash as far as the door, she fol-
lowed him and whispered softly: eff

He managed to get out: His faith

made gesture of despair. "Put your

Her eyelids flickered little, and
she said sharply: You're out of your
senses, Gordon-and what if 1 love
him?'
With low exclamation he caught
her hand at the wrist so hard that
she cried out, and he said between his
teeth: "You don't love him! Take
those words back!"
"Of course l do. Let me free!"
NO" he said passionately, holding
her fast. "Not until you take that
back"
His face, his tone, his force, domi-
mated her; the remembrance of their
past, possible future, made her wav-
er under his eyes, and the woman
Fmiled at him as Blair had never seen
her smile.

She smiled wickedly, and couldn't
resist:

Dams face flushed; he was already
deeply hurt for her, and her words
showed him that the insult had gone
home.
Where are you going now?"
Right to the Savoy"
Without another word, hatless as he
was, he got into the motor and closed
the door.
I'm going to take you home" he
informed her quietly, "and there's no
use in looking at me like that either!

For a second she thought so her
self; and they both started when the
voice of the young man himself was
heard in the next room.
"Good-by, I'll let you make your
peace, Lily" and Gordon passed Dan
In the drawing-room in leaving, and
thought the boys face was a study.
The duchess held out her hand to
Dan as he came across the room.

He was so direct, so incapable of
anything but the honest truth, that
Dan didn't know deceit when he saw
it, and his lady spoke SO naturally

rudeness had been unintentional. Per-

and rude, but she could be deliciously
gracious, and was SO now.
Don't you think it went off well?"
Dan said that it had been ripping
and no mistake.

She began to be little more at
