what Have They Seen in Your House

What have they seen in your house, my dear,
AS they've entered your open door,
Was it the hangings on your wall,
Or the rugs upon the floor,
Was it the perfect harmony
And blending of color there,
Or was it the woman who lived within
Who possessed a charm so rare,
Was it the pretty gown you wore,
Or the way you dressed your hair,
Or it your charming
That made folks linger there?
You're such womanly woman dear
And a motherly mother, too
That all who enter your open door
Are conscious only of you.

CHAPTER VII.
A History.


Whitaker consulted a telephone book
without finding that Drummond had
any private residence connection, and
then tried at random one of the clubs
of which they had been members in
common in the days when Hugh Whit
aker was human entity in the knowl-
edge Of the town. Here he had better
luck--luck, that is, in as far as it put
an end 70 his wanderings for The
night; he found a clerk who remem-
bered his face without remembering
his name, and who, consequently, was
not unwilling to talk. Drummond, it
seemed, had lived at the club; he had
dined alone, that evening, in his room !;
had ordered his motor car from the adj
iacent garage for seven O'Clock; and
had left at about that hour with
small handbag and no companion.
Nothing further was known of his
actions save the police report. The car
had been found stationary on Wash
ington bridge, and deserted, Drum
mond's motor coat aud cap on the
drivers seat. Bystanders averred that
man had been seen to leave the car
and precipitate himself from the bridge
to the stream below. The body was
still UNI covered. The club had notl-
fed by telegraph q brother in San
Francisco, the only member of Drum
mond's family of whom it had any rec
ord. Friends. fellow members of the
club, were looking after things-doing
all that could and properly ought to be
done under the circumstances.
Whitaker walked back to his hotel.
There was no other place to go; no
place. that is, that wooed his humor In
that hour. He was, indeed. profoundly
shocked He held himself measurably
responsible for Drummond's act Of des-
peration. Next to poor reter Stark.

ever he drove one Of those sharp liners
to left, it would 90 on line to the
left fielder, and he could never get "a
ground ball past the third baseman or
shortstop. McInnis is Il left-Geld hit
ter, but despite the fact that all teams
know whore he hits, he clouted the
ball over 300 for six consecutive years.
In the spring and early summer the
sh0rtstops and third basemen seemed
TO be playing just right for him.
In mid-July. with the season half
over, McInnis was hitting under 200.
He was desperate and Mack let him
90 home for rest. When he came
back the batting eye came back with
him, and in the last half Of the season
Mclnnis outhit every player in either
league but Speaker. with less than
three months to 60, McIuns tried val
iantly to overcome that Hotpoint def
cit and keep his 300 batting average
string intact. However, when the sea-
son closed, Stuify was still Is points
shy of his goal but in less than
three months he lifted his average
from 1919 to the respectable mark of
.2S5.
Prior TO July Is McInnis made 46
hits in 231 times at bat for m aver
age Of 100. From July Is on he made
100 hits in PSI times at bat for an
average OF 1856.
Stuffy is one of the youngest vet
Grams Of the game. Despite the fact
that he was only twenty-five years old
last fall, he already has served eight
fun years with Mack.

dollars siT years Since. Sort, shaded
lights, rare furnishings, the rich yet
delicate atmosphere of exquisite taste,
the hush and Orderly perfection OF a
home made and maintained with con-
summate art: these furnished him with
dina provoking intimati0ns of an indi-
viduality to which ne WIS a stranger
less than a Stranger-nothing.
Almost Immediately he became
aware OF feminine footsteps on the
staircase-there entered to him a lady
well past middle age, with the dignity
and poise consistent with her years, her
manifest breeding and her iron-gray
hair.
'Mr. Whitaker?"
He bowed.
Il am Mrs. Secretan, a friend OF
Miss Laws. She has asked me to say
that she begs to be excused, at least
for tonight. And am further instruct
ed to ask If you will be good enough
to leave your address,"
Certainly: I'm stopping at the Ritz
Carlton but"-he demurred-"I should
like to leave note, if may"
Mrs. Secretan nodded an assent.
"YOu will find materials In the desk
there" she added, indicating an es-
critoire.
Thanking her, Whitaker sat down,
and, after some hesitation, wrote a few
lines:
Please don't think mean 20 cause you
the slightest Inconvenience or distress. 1
shall be glad to further your wishes in
any way you may care to designate.
Please believe in my sincere regret e.
Signing and folding this, he rose and
delivered it to Mrs. Secretan.
He found himself in the street, with
his trouble for all reward for his pains.
He wondered what to do, where to go,
next. The driver of the taxicab was
holding the door for him, head bent 10
catch the address of the next stop. But
his fare fingered still in doubt.
Dimly he became aware of the vio-
lent Rawlings of a brace of news ven
doris who were ramping through the

source when you were in deep
trouble2
Luck, good or bad, Is certain
~ on the trail of Hugh Whita-
ker. You remember, corps of
eminent surgeons gave him just
six months to live. So he found
a girl in trouble, married her to
save her good name and disap-
peared Immediately. Five years
later he reappeared in New York
from Australia, happy, healthy
and prosperous, and started out
to find the little girl he married.
He discovers her when he goes
