Again she laughed. "To be perfect

"I say, Sara, what does all this
mean? You"
"And if you should follow me
there, Vivian's estimate Of US will not
be so far out Of the way as we'd
like to make it."
True to her word, she was gone
when he drove over later on in the
day. Somehow, he experienced q
queer feeling Of relief. Not that he
was oppressed by the rather vivacious
opinions of Vivian and her ilk, but
because something told him that Sara
was wavering in her determination to
withhold the secret from him and fed
for perfectly obvious reasons.
He had two commissions among the
rich summer colonists. One, full
length portrait Of young Beardsley in
shooting togs, was nearly finished. The
other was to be a half-length Of Mrs.
Ravenscroft, who wanted one just like
Hetty Castleton's, except for the eyes,
which she admitted would have to be
different. Nothing was said Of the
seventeen years difference in their
ages. Vivian had put of posing until
Lent.

land, and other friends Of his began
to desert the country for the city. The
fortnight passed and another week
besides. Mrs. Ravenscroft decided to
go to Europe when the picture was
half-fnished.
"You can finish it when come back
in December, Mr.. Booth" she. said.
"I'll have several new gowns to choose
from, too
'1 shall be busy all winter, Mrs. Ra.
yenscroft," he said coldly.
How annoying" she said calmly,
and that was the end Of it all. She
had made the unpleasant discovery
that it wasn't going to be in the least
like Hetty Castleton's, so why bother
about it?
Booth waited until Sara came out
to superintend the closing Of her house
for, the winter. He called at South.
look on the day Of her arrival. He
was struck at once by the curious
change in her appearance and manner.
There was something bleak and desc
late in the vividly brilliant face: the
tired, wistful, harassed look Of one
who has begun to quail and yet fights
on.
"Will you go out with me tomorrow,
Brandon, for an all-day trip in the
carr" she asked, as they stood to-
gether before the open fireplace on
this late November afternoon. Her
eyes were moody, her voice rather
lifeless.
Certainly" he said, watching her
closely. Was the break about to come? I?
81 will stop for you at nine" After
a short pause, she looked up and said:
I suppose you would like to know
where am taking you
"It doesn't matter, Sara"
tT want you to go with me to Bur
tons inn"
"Burton's inn"
"That is the place where my hus-
band was killed." she said, quite
steadily.
He started. "oh! But-do you
think it best, Sara, to open old wounds
by"
'I have thought it all out, Brandon.

to go into that room again. "

For long time she stood immoV'

the horrid picture Of another DAY. she
tried to imagine the scene that hao

able Hetty Glynn and her whilom
husband as the principal characters
The girl had told the whole story OF
that ugly night. Sara tried to see II

the place again, to go there with ole
impressions which she could leave be,

frame of mind. It was true that she
meant to shake off the shackles OF a
horrid dream, to purge herself OF the
last yestige Of bitterness, to cleanse
her mind Of certain thoughts and mem
ories.
Downstairs Booth waited for her
He heard the story Of the tragedy from
the innkeeper, who GROSSLY maintained
that his business had been ruined
Booth was vaguely impressed, he kne"
not why, by Burton's description OF
the missing woman. "T'd say she was
about the size OF Mrs. Wrandall her
self, and much the same fgger," he
said, as he had said thousand times
before. my wife noticed it the min.

A bell rang sharply and Burton
glanced over his shoulder at the indi'
Gator on the wall behind the desk. He
gave a great start and his jaw sagged.
Great Scott!" he gasped. A curl.
Gus grayness stole over his face. Its

"It ain't rung since the night he
pushed the button for Oh, gee!
You're right. She is up there. My,
what scare it gave me-" He wiped
his brow. Turning to hey, he com,
manded him to answer the bell. The
boy went slowly, and as he went he
removed his hands from his pockets.
He came back an instant later, more
swiftly than he went, with the word
that "the lady up there" wanted Mr..
Booth to come upstairs.
She was waiting for him in the open
doorway. A shaft of bright sunlight
from a window at the end Of the hall
fell upon her. Her face was colorless,
haggard. He paused for an instant to
contrast her as she stood there in the
pitiless light with the vivid creature
he had put upon canvas so recently.
She beckoned to him and turned
back into the room. He followed.
This is the room, Brandon, where
my husband met the death he de-
served" she said quietly.
Deserved? Good heavens, Sara,

ords Of British law courts, and people
remembered. the old song. It appears
that about twelve years ago the LON
don county council opened new park,
Marble Hill park near Twickenham
Town. Now people from the Surrey
side Of the Thames who wished to
reach the new breathing spot found it
necessary to walk some distance up
river to Twickenham ferry, cross and
walk 500 yards down river on the Mid
dlesex side in order to achieve their
object. This was somewhat awkward.
In 1909, therefore, the council author
lied the Inauguration Of a new ferry
service to meet the new demand. Ham
merton & Co. got the franchise and
the good people from Petersham, for
instance, found the new boats a great
convenience.
It was not long before the earl Of
Dysart and Mr.. Champion, owner and
lessee respectively .of Twickenham
ferry, brought action against the new
comers on the ground that their an.
cient rights were being infringed upon.
The defendants held that their ferry
was a bona fde one, catering to
class Of traffic substantially new in
character, and their argument was up
held by Justice Warrington. The plain
tihs, however, took their case to the
court of appeals and now comes the
news that their appeal has been sus-

New Law Will
Help Workmen

"The passage of initiative bill
No. 8, abolishing private employ
nent agencies, is a great thing
for the workingmen of Washing
ton" declared Supt. j. G. Horne
of the Tacoma free employment
bureau today.
1T means that workingmen
will get jobs free and that they
will run no chance of being de-
frauded by employment sharks
who charge them fees for posi-
lions and then fail to give them
the jobs"
With the adjustment of the
private employment agencies, the
legislature will either have to
pass bill creating a state EN-
ployment bureau or all cities and
towns will have to install free
employment bureaus, according
to Horne. Tacoma, Seattle and
Spokane are the only Washing
ten cities with free agencies, but
they have already proved splen-
did investments.
The Tacoma agency, in the
past year, has found temporary
and permanent jobs for 1900
applicants.

dolph Churchill. Winston's older
brother got the title when
Churchill the elder died, but this
didn't bother the second son.
His military training began
when he was 10 years of age.
Two years later he was made a
lieutenant and served as a mill
tary observer and newspaper cor
respondent with the Spanish in
our war of 1898. The Spaniards
gave him a medal for it.
But few weeks after the end
of that skirmish he leaped to
India with the Fourth Hussars
and directly after Joined Lord
Kitchener's expedition up the
Nile to recapture Khartoum. lie
continued as a correspondent and
his stories attracted much in
terest in England and served to
advertise Churchill.
After the successful campaign
that made Kitchener a peer the
energetic Churchill went to South
Africa, where he was captured by
the Beers and imprisoned. lie
made his escape and after a FIVE
day hike across a desert with a
vulture following him, reached
the English forces.
After that war he came to the
United States to lecture on the
conflict and returning to England
run for parliament as a conserva-
tive and was elected. He soon
forsook that political creed and
cast his lot with the liberals.
When Asquith took hold and
reconstructed the cabinet in 1908
Churchill was made president OF
the board of trade, a position like
our secretary of commerce. Two
years later he was made home
secretary-secretary of interior
in U. Sand in 1911 became
FIRST lord of the admiralty.
He has done wonderful work
in his new position and anticipa-
ted the war months before IL
broke out. His admirals may win
great naval battles-but the
credit must go to the man whose
enemies call him IAN impetuous

things to win them with.
