O'Mara. And I learned 1t then just from the terror in her face. But didn't know until later how much she cared.
 "She came into my room this morn ing, and that. although you can't know 1t, was more than odd in itself, be- cause have always been the one to carry my woes to her. It must have been between and 5, for I had count ed clock striking 4. and yet she was still dressed in her party costume. Have you guessed what she had been doing? MT. O'Mara, she had been out looking for him! She had slipped out and been waiting because she was sure Ragtime would bolt and-and come back home, dragging him by a stir rup! Wasn't that . horrible thing to wait for alone in the dark?"
 With little shudder the girl put her hands over her eyes as if to shut out the picture.
 ''She wasn't hysterical, either. She was just ice and wrineing wet and blue with cold. Cool, proud, intolerant

 He whirled. So swiftly that it took her breath he was out of the saddle and across theI road and standing knee deep in the tndergrowth beside her. Only his profile had been visible to her at first. Now the white line of his jaw and the light in the eyes that searched her face chilled her even as they sent the blood singing in every vein. Only a few hours before she, had seen that same cold fear in Miriam Burrells eyes, and yet not the same, either, for hers had been a panic of lost hope, and tie gleam in the mans eyes was already only partly dread of disaster and partly great and unmis- takable glow of thankfulness. Bar bara remembered then, with a twinge of guilt that she could have forgotten 1t so completely, the black robed figure that had gone laundering off on the same mount which Stephen O'Mara was riding now. She half lifted both hands to him apprenhensively.
 You aren't going to tell me, are you,' she asked, that anything dread full has happened to Garry"
 Dumbly, but most reassuringly, Steve shook his head. From the top of her hatless, wind tossed, brown crowned head to the tips of the absurdly small boots tucked up beneath her he scan7 ned her slim body. Barbara realized that he was trying to speak and fnd- ing the effort hard. Slowly he renov- ed his hat and passed one hand across his forehead.

 I'm sorry," she murmured humbly. I'm sorry to-disappoint you; but, you see, I didn't know
 She laughed at him. Her lips curIed, petal-like, in gurgling peal of enjoy ment at his shamefaced grin.

I'd already made up my mind, if there was one scratch on your body, to take that mares head between my hands and break her neck! You see, believed I knew already just, what it would mean to me if anything ever happened to. you. But it's a lot different imagining the world without you-and-and facing the actual possi- bility of it. Was I-fairly tragic?"

 TODAY'S POEM 
THE WEED AND THE YOUTH.

m only a weed in the garden, But the sun is-bright to me; The air is warm, the birds are near, They nesttin my friend the tree. The rain and the air and the sum-
 shine
 Put the power of growth in me; I struggle up to achieve my end, I joy in the life to be. They tell me mar the garden, But it's quite like home to me. I know I'm plain, but I want my
 chance,
 I want to be wild and free. I hear the sound of the sickle; It sounds like death to me, Why should I fall? I am not to
 blame. But I bow to it's sharp decree. I'm only a youth in the trenches, But the world is sweet to me. The sickle of death makes missing
 sound, I'm a weed on the barren lea.

A fascinating blouse of pale pink batiste is worn with the attractive skirt ofwhite cotton corduroy pictured here. The skirt is . four-pisee moda closing at the front and has . remov- able one-piece circular yoke belt with straight trimming pieces inserted as the sides.
 In medium sixe tAs skirt requires 2H yards material. It is . model that will enjoy great popularity bo- cause of its smart simplicity. Tho home dressmaker today has . lesson in the cutting of the skirt, which is of utmost importance if the lines arc to be preserved The pocket and tho back gore arc laid on . lengthwisc thread of material, with tho front gore to the left, arranged in the same way. The piecing for the back gore and the trimming for the belt are placed along the selvage edge of the corduroy.

 These smart skirts are not confined to development in tub materials, how eyer, for they look exceedingly good in flannel, serge and taffeta.

 SQiU the conversation to a less
 V0 personal quarter 'Ts he will you tell me about it, please"
 One small, gauntleted hand made an almost imperceptible gesture toward the unoccupied space beside her on the fallen tree. But he chose the ground at her feet. And after he had dispos- ed his long length to his liking he an swered her hurried question-answered 1t with an amiably lazy deliberation that promised sure return to a topic of his own choosing, in his own good time. /
 ''No,' he stated, and there was some thing lugubrious in the badness of the statement. "He. found me. And 1t was the biggest stroke of luck that he did. I grow more and more lucky this morning. Wouldn't you say sor'
 But you must have an inkling as to the mans identity" she cried. "Why, you've got to find that out before he does more harm next time. Haven't you suspicion even~
 One foot swung free. She leaned for ward in her eagerness, slender and entirely boyish figure in diminutive brooches and boots and straight lined coat. And the man laughed aloud up into her flushed face, softly and not quite steadily at her hostile indigna- tion, her intuitive feminine curiosity, and most of all, most unsteadtly, at his wonder of her herself.
 Why, yes," he admitted. Both Joe and do believe we know who 1t was, but we aren't sure because we don't understand yet what that mans mo- tive might be. I'd tell you only l don't like to accuse anybody until there is cause for it. But that's what brought me down here this morning that and because I wanted to tell Miss Burrell that Garry is safe and will continue to be from now on, I hope.

 Barbara did not wait for him to tell her what 1t was. She was staring at him in unfeigned surprise.
 'To tell Miriam?' she echoed. "Do you-you can't mean that you knew she cared for Garry?"
 Didn't you?"
 The girl shook her head.
 "Never until just -a little while ago. 1-do you know, in the last few days I've begun to realize how much more you-other people-observe than do. I've begun to wonder if haven't been very blindly self sufficient. For l nev- or dreamed of such a thing until some

 Without turning his head he made answer:
 q think Fat Joe's method is as good as any," he suggested. "Joe says the only way to reopen any argument is to take running jump and land, all spraddled out, right in the middle of it.

 She laughed little.

 Just when she was wishing most that she could see his face he swung around toward her. Again his gravity was a totally gentle thing. It made her remember the self possessed kind Illness with which he had met her un- reasonable rage the night before.
 'Twice I've been bitterly unkind to you" she began, s'once a long time ago and-and once last night. And on both occasions you have just tried to tell me, indirectly at least, that you cared, hadn't you?"
