from the desk, to come face to face
with a man whom he had used to like
ard who, he had reason to believe. had
not been without interest in him.
why. hello. Baker!" Mark held
out friendly hand, with genial
smile that was part of his new resolve.
Baker took the hand. but released it
quickly. "AhI How are you, Truitt?"
Bully. Just back from long stay
in the woods. Dine here with me to-
night, won't you?"
Thanks, no. I'm probably not din
ing here. Excuse me. Some men
must see"
Baker broke hastily away, passed
few words with a nearby group and
went out. The ruse was obvious.
Mark, feeling as though he had re-
ceived blow in the face, stared after
the retreating figure. The genial smile
faded. Then he went to the rooms
he had engaged. Passing the group
that had helped out Bakers ruse. he
was conscious OF their furtive curious
glances.
Arrived in his rooms, his first act
was to have back newspaper files sent
up to him. For two hours he read
how, while he was winning back health
in the wilderness and planning a life
of amity with his fellows, his name
had been banded about on the tongues
of slander and gossip. AS he read in
the light of what had Just happened
the amazing accumulation of suggested
filth, only here and there brushing the
outer edges OF fact, utter bewilder-
ment filed him. Shirley's brief COM
munication, making mention of some
talk" received at the edge of the will
derness, had not prepared him for
this.
Its all a pack of dirty lies." he
cried. How could these men, who've
seen me go in and out every day, be-
lieve It? What rotters they must be
themselves to be able to believe It!
BY God! I'll" He stopped, with a
sudden feeling of dismay. why
why, ! can do nothing"
He was helpless.
Then l am not free! She has put
a mark on me that a lifetime can't rub
out. Must we pay forever for our
mistakes? :"
One evening. when his residence at
the club had continued about three
weeks, the affair came to a climax.
He was entering the grill for dinner.
At the sound of his name from a
nearby group of diners, he halted In
voluntarily.
That's all well enough" one OF the
diners was saying. "A clubs a club
and, of course. we have to allow a
certain latitude. Still. when It be-
comes the refuge for a man SO no.
torious we couldn't have him in our
homes" The speaker was checked
by warning kick.
Mark, sweeping the group with eyes
from which the mask had momentarily
fallen. met Bakers embarrassed gaze.
With contemptuous smile. he passed
on to his own table and ordered a
dinner which he made such show of
eating as inward rage and pain al
lowed.
His coffee and cigar had Just been
brought when Baker crossed the room
and stood by his table.
..Truitt-" he began uncertainty.
"Well?" Marks upward glance was
not welcoming.
May / sit down for a minute?"
Aren't you afraid OF catching the
plague?'
I'm more afraid OF being kicked for
my impertinence."
Il understand said Mark grimIy,
I'm a pretty tough customer. but /

1T did" he answered. But you
didn't invite 1t. You weren't the sort
of girl that needed to invite it-you
aren't that sort of woman now!" Eyes,
no less than tongue, were eloquent Of
his admiration; but she was looking
away. But most women wouldn't be
SO ready to forgive. They would re-

And now?"
Why now I-need it."
Somehow the confession, an uncon-
ddered remark that, however, had the
ring of sincerity impulsive sayings are
apt to have, seemed to establish even
more firmly their intimacy. 1t nerved
him to his next remark.
''Kazia. don't you think you could tell
me what has happened to you during

the internes took an interest. He had

work. and since passed my examina-
ton I've always had cases. For the
rest, I'm not educated. I've merely

he gave 1t no thought. Il see the cour-

"Oh, II you will" She broke of
with a shrug. Let us talk Of some
thing else"
When at length he broke the silence,
his voice was a caress. Il wouldn't
have you different. What you've lost
is nothing compared with what you've
gained"
She turned her heard slowly toward
him. For a long minute their eyes

looked away. Not the heart of boy

After while: "Ah!" she breathed.
She is lovely"
That makes 1t unanimous" he said
shortly.
1t had ceased to be the pleasantest
time he had had in years. A heavy
cold cloud had settled upon their inti-
macy. Why dream of the possibility
of mighty primitive passion! 1t was
not possible. But 1t was char
acteristic of the man to want most
forbidden.
We've gone far enough" she said.
True words, however she meant them!
And it is getting too cold for you.
Let us turn back"
He made no protest.
He swung the team around and
drove toward the hospital; at reck-
less pace, that he might not have to
talk. He. had no wish for common
place speech with her. From other
speech the habit of selfrepression
saved him.
But not wholly. For as they were
nearing the hospital, he drew the
horses down to a soberer gait.

Her answer was not in words.

He had had the answer he wanted.
But he received It with a heart as
heavy as lead. He wanted her as he
had desired nothing since life began.
And he could only stand and, help

"Ah, You're franker than thought

Conbing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy il
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring use enough to
nloisten the scalp and rub It in gently
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
if not an, of your dandruf will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruf you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop at once.
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and look and feel
hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is Inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.
