CHAPTER XIX.

Grief made Gloria insensible to the
flight of time, and how long she had
been PROSTATE on the floor before
sounds on the stairs aroused her she
did not know. Thinking that 1t must
be Mrs. Hayes returning with ply
stefan, she rose hastily and tried to
remove all traces of her tears. She
wished above all to avoid explanations,
and if none was asked she did not
wish to have her grief misconstrued.
But 1t was not Mrs. Hayes, for Gloria
could hear the heavy tread ascending
to the floor above.
Little Ella was restless and roll ID
and tossed in her sleep. The daughter
of David Kerr looked with pity upon
her. Her discipline was too new. her
spirit was still too untamed for her to
understand fully the kinship of the
human race Although she recognized
that she was herself without the caste
she thought was hers, she had not
come to know that on the last great
day there would be only the judgment
of the just and the unjust, not of the
poor, of the wise and the ignorant, of
the master and the servant.
Poor girl" murmured Gloria. you
shall see that do understand"
There was also much which she
could learn from this bit Of flotsam
cast up by an unkind sea upon a cheer
less shore. Seeing that Little Ella
uoc not oIooDino coupdlv bor dociro
to know more got the better of her
duty as a nurse She shook her gently,
and soon was rewarded by seeing her
eyes open.
What you want?" asked the pa
tent
Time to take your medicine" Clio
ria answered unblushingly. This was
only a subterfuge, and it hurt her to
receive the profuse thanks which it
evoked.
How are we going to begin to make
things right down here?" Gloria asked
when Little Ella had sunk back upon
her pillow.
Begin" The girl did not under
stand.
yes, you and I. Things can't go
on as they are
why, begin with the boss. OF
course
Gloria could not have been stabbed
| by more cruel reply.
"Ah, yes" she sighed. "but howe"
That's up to you and yer pa"
Little Ella recognized that the boss
was out of her sphere of influence.
! Eyes, yes, l know. Tell me-Goes-

an effort, overcome down here?"

relief. 1--WE don't know nothin' bout

DUTY WE OWE TO OTHERS AS
WELL AS OURSELVES.
One Is Amply Repaid for Little Time
Devoted to Personal Appearance
FLOWERS Make the
Home Bright.
By ROSE WILDER.

In the hurry of woman's work
who lives in the country we are apt
to forget the Importance of keeping
ourselves personally as attractive as
possible. 1t is a duty we owe to 9TH
ers as well as to ourselves to make
the most Of whatever natural beauties
we have. Garden work is hard on
ones appearance, but there are many
little ways in which to counterfeit it's
effects and the results are surely
worth the trouble.
Such simple thing as washing the
face carefully every night before 60
ing to bed will work wonders with
the complexion. A good scrub with
warm water and some soap really
rests one, and if tried every night
Will smooth and clear the complexion
surprisingly.
Use rather stiff nail brush to
wash and clean the nails. If you
clean them with knife do not scrape
the under surface of the nail. 1t
makes them thick and brittle. Use
wooden stick
heep SHdll DOItle OF glycerlne
and rose-water handy in the kitchen
and after washing the hands rub a lit
tie into the skin. This keeps the
frequent washing of the hands from
making them harsh and dry A little
vinegar rubbed on after keeping the
hands in water long time is good.
On such days as Decoration Day
and Independence Day made bouquets
Of national colors, such as white peo-
MES, tulips or white lilacs, scarlet

Table NanerY.

Nowadays the well-bred hostess is
giving particular attention to the de-
tails of her dinner table and the new
est fad is to have napery embroidered
to match the colors Of whatever flow
ers she is likely to use. The center
piece and all OF the doilies of finest
white linen are embroidered with ia
ponica, lilies, naidenhair ferns, jacque
roses, yiolets, forget-me-nOts or butter
cups, and frequently bordered and in
set with Maltese or Irish crochet laces.
For the candelabra there are pagoda
shades in white pongee fringed with
f1ower-colored beads.

Tiny black or brown fur heads are
used to ornament the fronts of net or
chiffon blouses. They are applied, like
buttons, in row along the edges OF
the closing. They are very small and
their heads point toward the edge CT

again, and a roar of rifle shots crack
led and spluttered. The Italians were
attacking the Arab-Turkish camp.
Then hoarse shouting was heard,
and figures of men on horses broke
from among the trees, riding toward
the line of riflemen. They drove for
ward in compact body, in line of
columns, riding with intrepid reckless
ness against their enemies. And at
their head, not a hundred yards from
where Paul watched, rode the yelled
woman of his dreams
He stared in terror at her, saw her
lead the line forward, heard the muir
derous shouts Of the attacking Arabs;
then the rifle fire cracked again and
of sudden horses and men went
down. White-robed bodies Uttered the
plain. Riderless horses galloped mad
ly here and there, found each other,
gathered as if by mutual understand
ing into line, and trotted back again
toward the camp in as orderly pre-
cision as though their riders still con-
trolled them.

Screened as he was by the cover of
the palm trees, Paul was out of the
immediate zone of rife fire. but the
shells tore over him, hurting the
boughs upon the sand and delving
graves among the debris of the dunes.
But Paul had no thought of his own
danger. Fascinated self-forgetful, he
watched the reforming line of Arab
riders sweep forward once more. And
at their head she rode again, Indaunt-
ed. reckless, veritable angel Of
battle. Once she turned round in her
stirrups and shouted to her wavering
forces. Again the line rode on;
again that death-dealing rife fire
broke forth. There was no resisting

above the desert, apparently cut of at
the throat, to suffer death from the
broiling heat of next days sun-un-
less some prowling beast discovered
him.
The sun had long since sunk It
was quite dark, save for galaxy of
brilliant stars that seemed to drift
through the flying cloud. A cold wind
rose. Immobile in the sand, Paul felt
all his limbs tortured with cramps of
intense agony; after awhile these
were succeeded by merciful numb
ness which crept icily from the chilly
depths and enveloped him, blotting
out all sense and consciousness. 1t
reached his brain as though clammy
hand were laid on it. gripping it with
its relentless fingers. Paul swooned
away.
He must have been unconscious all
through the night, for when he opened
his eyes the east was rosy with the
dawn. A crashing sound beat on his
ear-drums, thunderous and prolonged
Paul was awake and alert now There
was no mistaking that sound; it was
the noise of artillery. and as he lis
tened it broke forth in long and con-
tinuous roar, while shells burst
among the palm trees and flung
boughs to earth and drove great
wedge-like gaps in the sand Then
from the rolling dunes to the right a
line of little figures in yellow swept
forward-tiny figures, like toy sol
diers, each carrying a rife as it raced
toward the trees. 1t halted, extended,
disappeared, rose from the sands
