In Noahs Time.

You remember Noah had to
work a long time on that ark. 1t
was uphill business, too, at best,
to go toiling and sweating day
after day in the hot, boiling sun,
building a hoat away out on dry
land while the local anvil and
hammer club sat around splitting
tobacco juice upon his lumber,
whiting up his pine boards with
their jack knives and telling him
what a fool he was to expect a
big rain in a country that was too
dry to grow alfalfa. But he kept
at it. Finally the flood came and
every mothers son of the COB
blers was drowned. This is the
only instance in either sacred or

70 two years in the state prison

was charged with assing sever

the mistaken idea that they

result many business men were

leniency was shown and only
one charge used, with the mini

CHAPTER XII.

Lorelei exploded her bomb at break
fast Sunday morning, and the effect
was all she had dreaded. Fortunately
Jim had gone out. The girls humilia-
ton at Merkle's disclosure and her
merciless accusations left little to be
said in self-defense. OF course, the
usual tears followed, likewise repe-
titions of the time-worn plea that it
had all been done for Lorelei's own
good and had been prompted by unself-
ish love for her.
"I'm beginning to doubt that" Lore
lei said, slowly. Il think you all look
upon me as piece Of property to do
with as you pi. 'se- Perhaps I'm dis
loyal and migrate II, butt can't help
it. And can't forN We you yet. When
+ can I'll come hoL>e again, but it's
impossible for me to live here now,
feeling as do. I want to love you
so I'm-going to run away"
Tragically, through her tears, Mrs.
Knight inquired: "What will become
of us? We can't live-Jim never does
anything for u.s."
In Peters watery stare was abject
fright. 'Lorelei wouldn't let us suf-
fer" he ventured, TREMENDOUSLY. 'T'm
sick. I may die any time, SO the doc
tor says" He was indeed changed
man; that easy good-humor that had
been his most likable trait had been
lost in habitual peevishness.
"I'll keep the house running as be-
FORE" his daughter assured him, sand
I'll manage to get along on what's left
But you mustn't be quite So extrava.
CANT, that's all. l sha'n't be-and you
wouldn't force me to do anything I'd
regret, I'm sure" She choked down
her pity at the sight of the invalid's
pasty face and flabby form, then
turned to the window. Her emotion
prevented her from observing the relief
that greeted her words.
The moment was painful; Lorelei's
eyes were dim, and she hardly saw the
dreary prospect of fire escapes, Of
whitewashed brick, of bare, gaping
back yards overhung with clotheslines
like nerves exposed in the process Of
dissection.

she drew out the table drawer at her

sion within. Lorelei recoiled at the

Miss Lynn made this declaration
calmly as she busted herself with the
glass her servant had fetched. She
dissolved a portion of the powder she
| had taken from the box in the spoon,
then carefully transferred the liquid
into the cap Of a pearl-and- gold foun-
tain pen. Inserting the open end Of
the receptacle into first one, then the
other nostril, she inhaled the con-
| tents.
"What are you doing?" asked Lore

Something to quiet my nerves. I
wonder why I told you all this?" She
eyed her guest speculatively, then
shrugged. "Well, since we're to be

watch and drew herself together. "Our

Two hours later a dray called for
her trunks and took them across town.

down on her with chill disapprova1 as
she entered; the elevator man stared
at her with black, hostile eyes until
she had made herself known; and
