The Perils of Pauline

folded DIR. Stevens s letter and read its
hnal paragraph, which prescribed a
change of climate, together with complete
and permanent rest or Il will not answer
Tor the consequences.
There was little doubt that no prime
mover IN great industry was better able
TO leave It's helm than Stanford Marvin
lis heutcnants were able, efficient and
contented. The factories would go of
Their own momentum for year or two at
least, and then his son, Harry, Just out of
college, should be able, perhaps, to help.
LIS leutenants had proved Marvin s un-
errlng instinct In judging character. Not
one single case came to the old employ
er's mind of a man who had failed to turn
out exactly as he expected. Yet the most
trusted man of all, Raymond Owen, the
secretary, was disloyal and dishonest.
This one exception was easily enough
explained. When Owen came to Marvin's
attention fifteen years before, he was
a fine, honest, faithful man. It was born
and bred in him to be straight During
the first five or six years in the Marvin
household the older man took pains to
keep watch on this quiet, tactful youth
until he knew all his ways and even his
habits of thought There was no doubt
that Owen was as upright and clean as
the old man himself.
At the age of forty the devil entered
into Owen. 1t came in the form of in
somnia Loss of sleep will make any man
irritable and unreasonable, but hardly
dishonest. With the sleeplessness, how
ever, came the temptation to take drugs
Owen shifted from one narcotic to
another, finally settling down upon NOR
phine. Five years of the opiate had
made him its slave. Every physician
knows that morphine fends become dis
honest. 1t is a symptom more certain
than the sallow complexion and the
dilated pupil

The secretary had speculated with his
modest savings and lost them He had
borrowed and lost again, and now, for
some time, had been betting on horse
races. This last had made him acquainted
with certain Montgomery Hicks, who
lived well without visible source of in
come. Through Hicks, Owen. had be-
trayed one of his employers guarded
secrets. Hicks, armed with this secret,
promptly changed from a friendly
creditor to blackmailer.
Owen, on his way to summon Pauline
and Harry, descended to the basement,
where the butler, gardener and a colored
man were uncrating the Egyptian
mummy. He told them to stand it in
place Of the bust of Pallas Athene in the
library, and then went out crossing the
splendid lawns and gravelled roads to the
tennis court There was no design in
Owen mind against the two players, but
of late the instinct of both the hunter and
the hunted were showing in him and it
prompted him to approach quietly and
under cover. So he passed along the edge
of hedge and stood a moment within
earShOt
Sally was about to "serve, " but paused
to look down at the loosened laces of her
small white shoe. She heard Harry's
racquet drop and saw him hurdle the net.
In another instant he was at her feet
tying the tiny bow.
"You needn't have done that, Harry"
she said.
ooh, no, Harry admitted, as he vainly
tried to make his bow as trim as its mate.
81 suppose not. l don't suppose l need
to think about you all the time, either,
nor follow you around till that new
cocker spaniel of yours thinks I'm part of
your shadow. Perhaps l don't need to
love you"
Harry, get up, some one will see you
and think you're proposing to me-
'"Think? They ought to know I'm
proposing. But, Pauline, talking about
need, there ism t any need of your being

you motoring again you'll
get your wish and see a real
nice aristocratic murder.
He ought to be put out of
his misery, anyway; but
where did you get all these
sudden notions about wild
and strenuous life?"
Pauline did not answer.
They both heard a discreet
cough, and Owen rounded
the corner Of the hedge. He
delivered his message, and
the three walked slowly to-
ward the house.
Advancing to meet them
came a 1ashy checked suit.
Above it was a large Pan
anna hat with gaudy ribbon.
A red necktie was also Wis
ible, even at a considerable
distance. Between the hat
and the necktie a face sew
eral degrees darker in color
than the tie came into view
as the distance lessened. 1t

whose first name was usual

and thence degenerated into

Yes, all these things are entirely un-

Nature indicted by the Grand Jury for
wilful, wasteful, wanton extravaganza
unless, unless Harry paused
Unless what?" asked Pauline
promptly. When neither love nor money
can force word from woman lips,
curiosity will unlock them instantly.
"Unless," said the youth solemnly,
unless you promise unequivocally, abso-
lutely and beyond peradventure -
"Now, Harry, don t use up your whole
neutrality-suspicious. WHAT"
Promise to marry me at once"
No, Harry, I can't do that-that is,
right away. must have time

Wouldn't be right9 Well, I'd like to

Pauline was silent a moment. She
mated to oppose this fine old man, but her
VIII was as firm as his, and well he knew
It, Harry spoke fer her.
On, she wants to see life before she
settles down-wild life, sin and iniquity,
battle murder and sudden DEATH and all
mat sort of stuff. I don t know what hos
gotten INTO women these davs ar,,-,vov. -
The old man frowned and demanded:
Why, Polly, what does he meant"
linen Folly, prettily, daintily, as she did
all things, and with charming little bushes
and hesitations, confessed her secret. In
short, 1t was her ambition to be writer;
a writer Of something worth while-a
great writer To be a great writer one
must know life, and to know life one must
see it-see the world. She ended by
asking the two men if this were not so,
They looked at each other and coughed
with evident relief at the comparative
harmlessness of her whim.
Yes, Polly" said old man Marvin, "a
great writer ought to see life in order to
Know what ne Is writing about. But what
makes you suspect that you have the
aDIi1ty to be even an ordinary writer7"

easy action of a thoroughbred. Both bore
the name OF Marvin, yet there was no re-
lation.
Harry mother, long dead had adopted
this girl on Mr.. Marvin's first trim 70
Egypt. Pauline was the daughter IF on

Marvin first saw her as a blue-eyed babv
too young to understand that it's parents
had just been drowned in the Nile. AS
brother and sister they grew up together
until college separated the two. After
tour years Pauline's dainty prettiness
struck Harry with distinct shock, the
delightful sort of shock known as love Of
first sight. 1t was really Harrv's first
sight of her as woman. Every sense
and instinct IN him shouted, "Get that
girl, " and nothing in him answered ''No"
Mr. Marvin looked unusually pale to
Harry and Pauline as those two very
vital young persons stepped into the
library He read their thoughts and said
quietly: O'''
