TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.
Tn zur;ch-in the olden days"
began Inky-and then there was q
whirlwind Of pillows and impreca-
lions that woke the men who had
been acting like nothing in this world
80 much as peevish boys.
I'm HI of a peacemaker!" ex-
claimed Nevil Ingraham-while Tom
and Packy went down below to see
what, luck they would have with the
| closed doors.
Il say, old girl say, Carrie-this
this is all NONSENSE swear to you
I'm entirely innocent this time
was Packy's plea-but Tom only
| wrote a brief note and tucked it under
Racie's door, Young love knows high
pride-and there seemed little hope
that either Racie or Tom would meet
the other half way.
And since the doors remained OBJ
stinately shut, the men tiptoed away
at last, baffled.
Then Emily's door opened cautious
ly, and a blue wrapper topped by a
head in curl papers poked its way
cautiously out.
whats THAR" asked a brown
wadded bath robe; and Carrie Pack
ard came out to. join Emily
"Only me. Aren't you nearly
starved, Carrier
mo, couldn't eat. I'm being
eaten, though. by mosquitoes Where
are the mem"
Somewhere on deck But. Carrie,
| where is-she?"
His Note.
Tn there, l suppose She couldn't
leave before daylight" said Carrie
And while they were engaged in
their speculations Racie had found
Toms little note and was reading it
with saddended eyes that saw some of
the facts of life she had not learned
at any school but life's own
This is the second time you've
bolted the door against me; there
won't be any third time, Tom"
Racie stood silent moment with
that note in her hand. Emily Frost
had fallen on saucer of applesauna,
and between spoonfuls she asked Car
RE, the leader of her class, for advice.
"Carrie-what are you going to do ?"
"As soon as it's light, get some If
the sailors to row me ashore. 1t
doesn't take long to get home from
New London"
Emily Frost stiffened-she replaced
the empty saucer-and tried one OF
rich yellow custard. Go home and
leave Charles on the boat with that
| woman? Never!"
"Emily-don't be a goose. Don't
you know she won't stay after we go?
The boat Is the very safest place you
could leave Charlie now"
"And after you're home, Carrie
what them" asked Racte, timidly.
That's not so easy-but 1 think !
shall call on my lawyers"
Racie was frighten-d-and sat on
the center seat twisting the note in
her fingers.
1--WE done lot Of thinking-be-
tween fighting mosqu;tees-and I've
come to the conclusion that there's
no use in half measures. Packy and
I've been as good as divorced this
| long while. ="
LAS bad as divorced, you mean, Car
rie" amended Emily
IF you like Well-ies no
use side stepping facts. I've realized
at last that I'm not the sort Of wom-
an who is likely to hold Packy-and
so why should I go on trying to keep
| him hitched up when he wants to
| break away
Em.iy swallowed a riouthful Of Gus
| tard hastily. why? Because it's good
for him"
Have you foand much satisfaction
In being good for your husband, EN-
! ily?"
I've had the comfort of knowing
THAT I've done my duty by him." said
Emily, with relish-though whether
| Of the custard or of her own fine fla
vor Of virtue it would have been hard
to guess.
But has he found much comfort in
it?"
To Be Thankful For.
II never thought of that" said EN-
| lily Frost, simply-and there was
| thought in her tone now.
Half to herself, Carrie went on: Il
| wonder what sort of face wash that
| woman uses? If l were to try an
other kind Of corset-and have my
| face massaged-I have gotten shame
| fully fat sitting over the bridge table
| three parts of my time"
Suddenly Racie stopped her dreary
| twisting of that little ultimatum in
Toms dear writing: IT don't believe
| face-wash and massage are SO impor-
| tant, Carr1e-if you and Packy cared
| more about the same things, now?"
Packy's never cared for anything
but motors and women" answered
| Carrie, sadly.
Perhaps II you had cared more for
| motors he'd have cared less for wom-
en-. II Tom only cared for motors, I'd
be willing to eat and sleep in them, if
| that would make him spend his snare
