After several years of Indigestion

Lovely weather. isn't it? A lady
whom we know went to see the doctor
yesterday.
well, how are you today?" said the
physician cheerfully.
"Well, doctor" she replied, ''the
cold I caught Tuesday IS little bet
ter, thanks to your prescription. But
the one l caught Thursday is much
worse The thing called to see you
for, however, is the severe cold I
caught last night"
The doctor sat down and wrote a
long line of hieroglyphics.
Here he said. 'is something for

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Ruse.

A Ruse.
When Rosalie lie Grange named the
Hotel Deidrich to the taxicab chauf-
feur, her object-she followed here but
an old instinct-was to cover her
tracks in case of many contingencies.
She dismissed the cab, however, at the
north door of the Deidrich, walked
through the lobby to the west en-
trance, walked out On Broadway,
walked a block south. There, spying
another taxicab whose meter displayed
the red sign vacant" she comman-
deered it, and announced her real OBJ
jective.
"Casino-Central park-go fast; !"
she said. During the drive she stared
dertones to herself.
This was an old habit, born Of her
half-believed, half-assumed medium
ship in her days of active practice.
In these later days she was still wont
to argue out In soft phrases OF her
lips the problems of her soul. One
who had overheard these scattered
phrases now would have known that
she was still fighting for decision.
We'll. amt the world been good to
me lately?" she was saying as they
swept into the Park entrance. Cant
| afford to take chance with myself
an happiness 7" And then, "Oh,
how will Martin look at it-Martin!'
A little later, as the taxicab took
the rolling drive beside park lake.
she was saying:
Il couldn't bear 1t if he was sent to
the chair could never live through
it'd die, too" 1t seemed that upon
this statement she made her decision.
for she talked to herself no more un-
til the taxicab rolled up before the
Casino and stopped. And as she rose.
her smile broke out for the first time
In that nasaa an--R nt IT WAS a grave
smile, whose softness did not reach
to her eyes-as though one smiled
with the humor of God at the tragic
comedy in this world.
"An' she called me a traitor-an'
she'll always believe 1t, what's more. :
she said.
The piazza OF the Casino, so gay and
colorful in summer, lay bleak and bare
now under the cold November wind
and fading afternoon light, SO that Ro-
sale, sensitive to physical Impressions
what with the tensity of her soul.
shuddered as she passed from the
steps to the door Within, only few
lights were on; the restaurant, plain
ly, was letting business fade away to-
ward it's winter quiescence. Near the
door sat couple; then two men; and
there. in the remote corner, was CLINT
of golden hair which could be only
Betsy Barbara's. Opposite sat the TO-
Gus of her search-him whom Betsy
Barbara still thought to be Senior Es-
trilla. He was smiling just then, and
his hands were playing in swift, ex-
pressive little gestures. AS Rosalie LIE
Grange waved aside the head waiter
and took her interminable journey
across the room, it occurred to her
that however she finished and tied
this complex web of hers. these might
be the last smiles on his lips for many
a weary day.

We were thinking of every possibility,
you see. These things are necessary

(This in answer to an objection of
Inspector MCGEE, who was urging her
to come to the point.)
"At about ten o'clock, we decided

Further, his voice Is light. and he can
talk in falsetto. This was an old
family game. We played eternally on
the resemblance in the charades and

change clothes. We had heard people

Mrs. Moore walked, looked out, and
saw Juan in my clothes. she would
think it was I going for my exercise
and take no alarm.
In case Juan failed, he was to go
back to my room and telephone to me,
speaking Spanish and initiating my
voice. Then, still dressed as Juan, /
was to return to Mrs. Moore's early
next morning and change clothes-but
that part of our plan does not matter.
