CHAPTER VI.
a Conspiracy in Satin,

The tall man emptied one hand OF
its suitcase to clasp the hand the new
conner granted him. He held it fast
as he exclaimed: Don't tell me that
you are bound for Reno!" She whim'
pered: Pm afraid so, Mr.. Ashton"
He put down everything to take her
other hand, and tuned his voice to
coincidence: Why, thought you and
Sam Whitcomb we're"
ooh, We were until that shameless
Mrs. Wellington"
Mrs. Wellington? Don't believe

~ thought everybody had heard OF
Mrs. Jimmie Wellington"
Mrs. Jimmie-oh, yes, I've heard
OF her!" Everybody seemed TO have
heard of Mrs. Jimmie Wellington.
What dance she has led her poor
husband!" Mrs. Whtcomb said. And
my poor Sammy fell into her trap
too"
Ashton, jealous comforter, took a
wrathful tone: 81 always thought your
husband was the most unmltigated--''
But Mrs. Whitcomb bridled at once
"How dare you criticize Sammy! He's
the incest boy in the world"
Ashton recovered quickly. That's
what | started to say. VIII he contest
the-divorce?
"Of course not" she beamed. "The
dear fellow would never deny ME any.
thing. Sammy offered to get it him.
self, but I told him he'd better stay
in Chicago and stick TO business.
Shall need such lot of alimony."
TOO bad he couldn't have come
along" Ashton insinuated.
But the irony was wasted, for she
sighed: Yes. shall miss him ter.
ribly. But we feared that if he were
with me il might hamper me in get.
ting divorce on the ground Of de-
sertion."
She was trying to look earnest and
thoughtful and heartbroken, but the
result was hardly plausible. for Mrs.
Sammy Whitcomb could not possibly
have been really earnest or really
thoughtful; and her heart was quite
too elastic to break. She proved it
instantly, for when she heard behind
her the voice of young man asking
her 10 let him pass, she turned to pro-
test, but seeing that he was hand

stantly changed TO sugar. And she re.
warded his good looks with d smile, as
he rewarded hers with another.
Then Ashton interviewed like dog
in the manger and dragged her off TO
her seat, leaving the young man to
exclaim:
Some tamarind, that"
Another young man behind him
growled: Cut out the tamarinds and
get to business. Mallory will be here
any minute"
II hate to think what he'll do to us
when he sees what we've done TO
him."
oh, he won't dare to fight in the
presence Of his little bridey-widey. Do
you see the porter in there?"
Yes, suppose he Objects
well, We have the tickets. Well
claim it's our section till Mallory and
Mrs. Mallory come"
They moved on into the car, where
the porter confronted them. When he
saw that they were loaded with bum
dies of all shapes and sizes. he waved
them away with scorn:
THE emigrant sleepa runs only
Toosdays and Thuzzdays."
From behind the first mass Of pack
ages came a brisk military answer:
You black hound! About face
forward march! Section number one.'
The porter retreated down the aisle
apologizing glibly. "Scuse me fol
questioning you, but you-all's baggage
looked kind O. eccentric at first"
The two young men dumped theil
parcels on the seats and began to un

pressing her to remain. This netled
Miss Cattle still more, but she sank
back, while the porter piled UP ez-
pensiye traveiing-bagz and hat boxes
till there was hardly 6 place TO SIT.
But even at that Mrs. Jimmie felt
called on to apologize:
Il haven't brought much luggage.
How I'll ever live four days with this.
I can't imagine. 1t will be such re-
lief to get my trunks at Reno"
"Reno?" echoed Miss Cattle. do
you live there?"
well, theoretically, yes"

and dreadful realization came over the

Results from Advertising

The advertiser who uses the daily newspaper
repeatedly achieves results. Il is the frequently

that irreSiStbly attracts the public. It is the APP

the manufacturer of the evil Of procrastination.
1t is every preSent-ever suggesting its usefulness,
and every man and woman must see il. That is
why the advertiser in the daily newspaper gets re-
