for him. 1t was all true, and just
before he died he said to his wife |
I am releaved from all my burdens
and do not dread the sting of death.
His funeral was preached by Rev.

of his trouble the prare now .reao.o. were invented for him
 Daphne" he said, Fl simply cant do that
 Two years ago" Daphne reminded him, you would have jumped at the chance to have the dinner. and never have bothered about the hat"
 T know, but, Daphne, it Is impos- sihle. You see. these guests will be here. and l can't be away when should be entertaining them
 They won't miss you.n Daphne said. cruelty. You're not so very en- tertaining"
 T know it-and I'm at my worst to- day So.' with hopeful cadence in his voice, you get me the hat and we'll have that little dinner some oth- CT evening"
 'tNo dinner tonight, no hat today" was Daphne's ultimatum. when from somewhere in the house came the voices of Lucy and Carolyn calling to Harry.
 Great Scott!" he muttered This things getting worse! They mustn't see you here"
 ~They?" Daphne asked Who are they?"
 one is my sister; the other is-the other girl"
 '.Oh, goodness, Harryi" Daphne al- most wept T didn't mean to get you into trouble. Hide me, hide me. Heavens, If there should be any talk about me-just when my millinery business is doing so nicely. You ought to be ashamed to allow an in- nocent girl to take such chances as this"
 But Harry was hurrying her toward the library door. At first he had un- consciously started her toward the other one, but halted. remembering that Mrs. Blazes was there. He mute ly directed her to go into the library, and then said in hasty whisper: Don't pay any attention to the man in there. Just hide yourself in there a few minutes, and III get the girls to go back downstairs son some pretext." As the door closed on Daphne he left the room and so he did not hear from the library the voice of the Count saying: We'll, py gracious! Liddle Daphne "
 Nor the amazed tones of Daphne as she exclaimed:
 Why. Count! What are yon doing Shere?"
Putnam patriot., 1913-02-21
CHAPTER VII.

When Harry and Lucy strolled into the den, just after Daphne had sue ceeded in getting into the room with Mrs. Biazes. they were followed by Mir. Medders. MT Medders was ind ing many things to interest him in l Harry's home This was the first time he had axer been where he might gaunter from room to room and ex- anime pictures, books and bric-a-brac many of which were of kind that were not popular in his own environ ment
 "Oh, Harry Lucy said ~"this is just the most delightful visit!" I'm doing everything I can to make it pleasant for you, and hope nothing happens to spoil it." Harry said.
 Medders, moving about the den, stopped at the door of the library.
 What Is in there, my boy?" he asked T haven't been in that room yet"
 "There?" Harry repeated, neryously. "Oh. that's just junk room"
 Thee means bunk room" Lucy corrected him, mischieYously.
 "Yes." Harry said. Its a junk bunk room"
 ''Varily," said Mr. Medders, "a junk bunk room must be interesting"
 And before Harry could stop him he had opened the door and started in. only to step back and say:
 Why. there is some one in here"
 ''Is there?" Harry asked, affecting surprise. hastily trying to think how big the headlines would be in the papers the next day.
 Why, who can 1t be?" Lucy asked.
 Harry, feeling that all was lost. still racked his brain for some halfway reasonable explanation of the pres ence, as he thought, of Daphne al well as the Count. in his library.
 Why, you see" he began. they they are"
 They" Medders said. There is only one man in here"

"No, No. l didn't say you were uu-
 r~& -~. . reasonable. iust-just asked you to he reasonable.
 But that is the same thing" She stamped her little foot with the words.
 Lucy, you misjudge me. he said. solemniy. "T simply was not ready for you to look in there yet"
 Alas" Lucy almost wept "To think that we have had our first quar- rel alreadyi"
 Harry came near to her and mur- mured:
 Well, let us make up. One kiss to show me you forgive me"
 Nay, Harry" she protested, but not very forcibly. Thee knowest I do not approve of that"
 How can you approve of a thing until you have it?" Harry wanted to know. And. then
 Socrates Trimmer, hat box in hand, appeared in the doorway. and what he saw sent his heart humping to his boot heels.
 Woe is mel" he said, sadly. The time to give her my present is not yet"
 And as he turned to go he collided with Carolyn. That plump young lady accepted his apology gaiiy. and left him still delivering it as he went on down the hall, while she rushed te Lucy and greeted her effusively.
 We're going to have the jolliest time everl" Carolyn cried delightedly.

from his home and have some peace the rest of the day.
 Daphne and the Count meekly en- tered the library, and Harry ran to the door of his bedroom and was about to open it when he heard Caro- lyn calling him:
 "Oh, Harry. where are you?"
 Mrs. Blazes, hearing him at her door, opened it and was now coming out, when, to her utter astenishmsnt he showed her back into the room and pulled the door to.
 I'm coming" he called to Carolyn. and hurried out again.
 Simultaneously the door of the h. brary opened. and Daphne emerged The ideal" she calculated T won't breathe the same air with that Ger man foreigner! Then she heard some one approach ing the room, and consternation seized her She looked nervously about for a place of concealment. Where can I hide? Where can hide?" she walled. 'NOAStc htditis anu uSo- perately she rushed to the door of the bedroom wherein was Mrs. Blazes. Opening the door, she dashed in. With mutual exclamations of recog- milton she and Mrs. Blazes saw each other And the door was still trem- bling shut when Lucy and Harry strolled into the den
 Sisters in aiIiiction and diversity. Mrs. Blazes and Daphne were not long in confiding to each other, in bated whispers, the reasons for their pres enee. Daphne's position was one we'll calculated to upset her nerves. Out side were two men with whom she ring he had given her and which she had presented to the husband of the lady with whom she was talking On the other hand, Mrs. Blazes was not happily situated. Without per feet duplicate of her hat she felt that she could not go home. She could not leave the room now, 10 go home, any 1 way.
 And now, locked in with her, was the only person who could make . duplicate of her hat What are We to dor" she tearfully asked Daphne. Be quiet and listen to what goes on out there" Daphne told her. Mir. Swifton is just as anxious to get us out as we are to get out. If some one else doesn't drop in and have to be hidden, l think he will work 1t some way"
 Well if get out of here undiscov- cred" said Mrs. Blazes, raising her hand to wipe away tear, "rll never fiirt again"
 Daphne's sharp eyes saw familiar ring on her finger What a lovely ring. Mrs. Blazes!" she dissimulated. Did your husband give it to you?"
 What? Oh, this ring2" Mrs. Blazes
 answered guiltily, folding her other hand about it carelessly, so as to conceal it. "Oh. no. that's just a ring that belongs to a friend of mine"
 Daphne could not understand it, and yet she could not ask any more ques- tions. She contented herself with say ing:
 i've heard that sometimes rings brought bad luck.

CHAPTER V.

Unannounced, there entered the room a slender woman, whose face was half hidden by a huge, Hopping, bushel- basket type of hat, the brim of which was draped with Haunting, Tapping lace, and from whose crown lifted into the air gorgeous array of feathers and ribbons and flowers. tight-nt- ting gown. with the skirt so hobbled that her steps were painfully mincing. encased her form, and from behind her drifted the most remarkable traln that ever was. She tottered in on her high-heeled shoes and peered about the place with mingiing of coyness and assurance that was amaz- ing Harry looked up, saw her, and groaned. Then he 2apsed back furth- ey into the chair and mentally gave himself up to the inevitable wlth the words:
 "Ye gods, Daphane Dafington!"
 She looked him over coolly, ana said:
 'Youi"
 He nodded his head weakly. Things

 After all these years," she er' claimed. ITO find you at last. Where have you been all this time?"

 We'll" she said. pursing her lips determinedly. you're away off II you think you can shake me as easily now as you did the last time
 I'm sorry, Daphne" Harry told her. T know you have a right to think harshly of me"
 A right" she said scornfully.
 T know" he confessed, that yos think ] treated yop shabbily."
Putnam patriot., 1913-02-21

Come. Leave Harry ito his own mis- erable company, and III shoW you your room
 As she tnrned, she remembered something.
 Harry" she said, -n want some pillows out of your room"
 Carolyn rushed to the door of liar ry sank weakly into chair and awaited the blow.
 Its all over" he said to himself Carolyn tried the door, but it ,wHslld not open.
 Why. eEarry," she sad. Your room is locked"
 "Eh? Ohl WEat?" Harry saxl. Locked? NOW, who could have lock ed it?"
 He fumbled in his pockets, mean while listening acutely for the sound which would tell him that Mrs. Blazes was presenting herself. But, blessings upon her head She did no such thing. With gasp of relief liar ny said:
 I've left the key somewhere. I'll g look for it after while.'
 Lucy looked at Carolyn wifi an Awe-stricken face
 "Is that Harry's bedroom?" she asked, in mortified tones.
 Why, yes!" Carolyn answered
 And desired to see it9 Ohl Har- ", what must thee think Of me. And how nice if was of thee to tell me was only a junk room"
 She went out with Carolyn, leaving Harry sunk dejeetedly in a big chair Alter the girls were gone he looked apprehensiyely first at one door, then at the other Slowly he shook his head, trying to fathom the muddle into which he had plunged himself.
 If had tried to fix this up for my self" he said, signing deeply. it couldn't have been worse"
 But it could be-and was about to be-much worse.
