CHAPTER XVII
Outside the Law

Glider scrupulously followed the di-
reetions of the police inspector. I'm
easily he had remained In the library
until the allotted time was elapsed.
He f1dgeted from place to place, his
mind heavy with distress under the
shadow that threatened to blight the
life OF his cherished SON Finally,
with q sense of relief he put out the
lights and went to his chamber. But
he did not follow the further direc-
tions given him. for he was not mind
ed to go to bed. Instead, he drew the
curtains closely to make sure that
no CLEAN OF light could pass them.
his lips, which he did not smoke.
though from time to time he was at
pains to light it. Ills thoughts were
most with his son, and ever as he
thought of Dick, his fury waxed
against the woman who had en-
meshed the boy In her Plotting for
vengeance on himself. And into his
thoughts now crept doubt, one that
alarmed his sense Of Justice. 1t oc-
Cured to him that this woman could
not have thus nourished plan for
retribution through the years unless,
indeed, she had been insane, even as
he had claimed--or innocent! The
idea was appalling. He could not
bear to admit the possibility of hav-
ing been the involuntary inlfcter OF
such q wrong as to send the girl to
prison for an offense she had not COM
mitted. He rejected the suggestion.
| but 1t persisted. He kaew the clean.
wholesome nature Of his son. II

tangoist in his set, or does he take
an hour or SO of once in while and
try to work for a living?
WHAT DOES HE sAYs
How is he when you introduce him
to nice. plain little girl-girl from
the country?
Does he make fun of her clothes
and laugh at her funny ways? What
does he say when you mention your
mother? Does he call her sthe old
lady" or what? How does he seem
to like you best-at home or giggling
somewhere on the street with him
and few other young persons of his
own kind?
| Oh, all these things don't matter at
all, do they? All you know is that
/ you love him madly and that you
can't eat or sleep or be happy without
him. How old are you. honey--1s-
1 thought so.
Well, whisper. you'il feel Just that
way about a dozen different lads be-
fore you find the right one would
not be too tragic about it II / were
you.
No, ] wouldn't tell my secret to any
one. I'd try to forget 1t all I could.
Mother probably knows anyhow
you may think she doesn't. little sis
ter. but she does-oh she does.
What else keeps her awake and
restless till you are home and safe in
bed?
What else makes her lock at you
with soft eyes and smile in them?
Laughing at you--mother2
Angry with you?
Not she; never. never, mother
She's sorry, that's all. as sorry as
she can be for her foolish little girl
breaking off the thorns of the rose of
love and saying to herself that she
has found the rose-she's been all
through Ii, mother has. all through
the whole foolish misery.
NOT THE FIRST
That's why she doesn't say ono
word.
Father wasn't the only boy your
mother knew before she was married:
don't believe that, little sister.
Ten chances to one she and father
/ talked it all oyer last night when you
/ hung around on the porch till 10
O'Clock hoping, hoping, hoping that
he would come in for just a minute.
Ten chances to one mother cried it,
| tie herself when she saw your pitiful
little face of disappointment
Oh, you're not the first one nor the
i last to be 'madly in love" at 10, and
you won't be the first to set over it,
either.
Little girl-just laugh and read and
sing and forget-that's the best way
I--see II II isn't.
And then some day the real love.
the love that endures and trusts and
suffers and does not complain, will
come to your happy heart
And you won't doubt any moreyou
will know-and that's how it should
be--always.

that will Save Trouble for
Both the Public and Postal
Employees


Patrons OF the postoflce are vital

Christmas parcels on Or before
Christmas day AMI the Postofice De-
forts 10 provide for the prompt de-
livery OF all mails during the holiday
season. The cooperation OF the pa
irons of the Oca!a Office is most
earnestly sought II order that ali
mail matter for dispatch or delivery
will be handled with facility during
| this season and to that en1 I most
respectfully offer the following sag-
gestions:
All packages should be properly
| packed, wrapped with strong paper
and tied with Irvine proportionate to
| the weight and character of the con-
tents. Each parcel should be plain
| ~ and completely addressed, show
| ing the street address OF room num-
Der if a public building. and bearing
il the upper left hand corner the ad-
dress of the sender preceded by the
word From" and Endorsed in the
appropriate instances Fragile, -
"Perishable,' etc.
Packages may bear the words,
Not to be opened until Christmas
! or similar inscriptions, and this to-
gether with early shipment insures
Of ;rYy
whereas the practice of mailing pack
ages late in the hope that they will
| reach their destination on Christmas
day is likely to defeat it's own object,
congestion of the mail.
During the heaviest days of the
season a parcel post window will be
opened at the east end of the post
| office lobby where parcels will be ac-
copied for mailing upon the payment
OF the postage, stamps to be affixed
later by the employees of the Office
This will be done to relieve the con-
gestion usual at this time.
Persons desiring to insure parcels
may secure in advance tags which
they will need. These tags can be
filled out at home or place of bust
ness, and thereby avoid the necessity
Of SO doing in he postoffice lobby.
The insurance fee is five cents for
parcels valued at s25 or less, and 10
cents from s25 to $50. Insu1 ed par
cells must be presented at the win
dow.
By having your packages COM
| pletely ready for mailing when pre-
scented at the window, you will save
yourselves the postoffice force time,
and both the time and patience of
those to follow you.
