CHAPTER LNII

The dreary supper was over and
Mary was clearing the dishes away.
Jane did not know how she had been
able to listen to and answer her hus-
bands occasional remarks He was
not in pleasant mood this evening,
yet he had not been cross to her. The
main object of his resentment at the
present moment seemed to be the
weather.
It's kept up a steady pour all
day. he mumbled, pushing his chair
pack with bang when he had taken
his last swallow of coffee. Just hear
that wind. will you."
Joined.
What are you shiveriug about?" he
asked brusquely. Are YOU cold still -"
A little,' she said, "and somehow
the rafting of the windows and the
bowling of the wind makes one feel
cold, don't you think so?"
She would not confess that it was
her mental state that produced the
recurrent attacks of chilliness. lie
must not suspect this.
We'll, I'm going to town to-mor-
row even If it rains pitchforks," Au-
Sustus declared. There are some
things that shouldn't be put off, and
my errand in town is one Of them"
His wife was watching him, and she
saw his keen glance at Mary, who was
now folding the supper cloth. The
woman did not raise her eyes but the
| fingers holding the cloth were clenched
so that the blood was driven from
their tips, and they looked like bits of
old ivory.
I'm one OF the kind who makes up
my mind and sticks to it, he remark
ed threateningly.

She must change the subject or she
might betray her knowledge of what
was in her husbands mind.

he said. Il want to catch the 6.45"
anonymously, she remembered
that Edward Sanderson used some
times to take the 6.45 train back TO
town on Monday mornings. 1t was
odd that she should recall this now
in the midst of the wild thoughts that
had possessed her for the past twenty
four hours. Yet when she remem-
oered his face and the look in his eyes
she was conscious of a moments calm.
rs IL she had come out of a vast
turmoil into a quiet place. Then, as
this place was not for her, she turned
from it. She must try to read. She
held the evening newspaper, although
she did not grasp the meaning of a
single line on the sheet before her. She
was listening to Mary's light move
ments in the kitchen. She never rat
tied dishes in washing and putting
them away, as many people did.

TWO NEW LIGHTHOUSES

Cape ST. Elias, on an inaccessible is
land just off the coast of Alaska, has
been a menace to navigation because
of the adjacent high rocks. It's dan
gets will be overcome by a high power
lighthouse now being erected. The
building is a strong concrete tower
with the best Illuminating apparatus
known to the Lighthouse Service. 1t
includes three-mile mantle light of
100000 candlepower which will be
clearly visible for distance
of fifteen and half nautical
miles. A lighthouse of similar i'm
portance is being built upon Navassa
Rock, lying between Cuba and Haiti.
It's tower will be $50 feet high and its
light will be visible for twenty-four
miles. 1t lies in the paths of vessels
going from New York to the Panama
Canal and will safeguard a passage
which is coming into rapidly increas-
lnE use.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
BY Virginia Terhune Van de Water

She glided instead of walking. Jane
mused. We're all Indians-or people
with Indian blood-as soft-footed as
Mary? What self-control the woman
had! She must be in an agony of
wrath and suspense, although her face
AS she waited on the table tonight
had been an eXpresSionless mask. Yet
how she must be suffering.
We'll, that's settled" Augustus an
nounced, coming back into the house,
shaking the wet from his coat. It's
a fierce storm. But I'm going to town
lust the same, Mary!" raising his
voice, Il want breakfast at o'clock.
There was no. reply. Augustus
frowned and strode to the kitchen
door.
Did You hear me-" he demanded.
Il heard you,' Mary said Curtly.
The frown was still on his face
when he threw himself into a chair.
I'm tired" he said, yawning again
and Slancing at the clock. This kind
OF weather ALWAYS makes me sleepy.
As we've all got to get up early. we'd
best so TO bed soon. I'm going up at
g o'clock"
Very WELL" Jane reioined. She
was determined not to go into those
upper roome alone. IL Augustus re-
mained down here until midnight. she
too, would remain. Yet until now she
had always been so glad to go up
without him.
Strange that she should prefer the
presence even of this man to her nerv-
Gus fears. For she hated him-hated
himi She knew that now. All day
she had been hating him-wishing
that she could get away where she
might never see him again!
Mary Is ApatheIic
Mary came into the dining room
her bedroom lamp in her hand Jane
looked UP in surprise.
Are YOU going upstairs already p"
she questioned kindly. She was very
sorry for this poor victim of another's
sin. You got your work done quick
ly."
"Yes-when I have a thing to do
like to get it done quickly" Mary
said.
Still that dull, colorless voice! Au-
gustus scowled again. started as if to
make some remark as the door closed
behind the woman, then thought bet
ter of 1T and remained silent.
Jane continued to pretend to read
until the clock struck 2 and Augustus
laid down the seed catalogue he had
been studying.
Well, I'm going to bed" he growl-
ed. And you'd better go, too"
Yes" she agreed; II will"
She followed him upstairs and into
the great bedroom.
Good night she said here. You
know / told YOU I'd like TO sleep in the
little room tonight, for L don't feel
we'll"
"All right" he said. It's a ridicu-
lous notion-but if you've got cold,
I'm not anxious to catch it,"
She had meant to close the door be-
tween the rooms. But instead, after
the lights were out and Augustus was
asleep she arose softly and made sure
that 1t was open. For she was afraid
TO be alone.

into our home YOU stepped.

Into our home you stepped,
Our home that was sweet and
bright;
There in our home you heard
That wrong, when confessed, comes
right.
All, God, 1t was small to do,
The message we gave to you.
Into the dark you went,
In search of the vision true;
Calmly you braved the dark,
All ragged from cap to shoe.
Your eyes searched the gloom ahead;
God give you, tonight His bread!

Out of the night you crept,
A form with a hardened face;
Out of the night you crept.
With shame and perhaps-disgrac
Was it bread that you wanted, bread?
Was it hunger, alone, that led?
Out OF the dark you came.
With eyes that stared far ahead;
Out OF the dark you came,
With soul that semed almost-dead.
Our fire cleaned warm and bright,
You shrank from its friendly light.

DOLLARS FROM A Mup-HoLE

\ farmer in a certain Southern State
is raising a unique crop from a mud
hole in front of his farm. The soft
spot is impossible for autos for sew
cral days after a rain, under ordinary
conditions, but the farmer gets cars
across and ekes out the egg-money
by renting strips OF canvas to the mo-
torist. He keeps his canvas ready for

a carpet at the sound of a motor horn

Here is new coat for little girls. 1t gives
the Russian eject that is so popular and
it can be made to cover the frock or a
little shorter. 1t is exceedingly fashion
able, it is eminently becoming, and
withal, it is absolutely simple. There are
only the shoulder and under-arm seams
to be sewed, the belt holding the fulness.
The pockets, of the patch sort, are applied
over the coat on indicated lines. The
collar can be buttoned up about the throat
or rolled open, as occasion requires. The
deep cuffs make an especial appeal. On
the figure, velveteen is trimmed with fur.
In the small view is suggestion for the
use of cloth, such as chinchilla with simple
stitched edges.

Country Costume for
Many Sports

A costume of moderately heavy
washable cotton answers the purposes
Of the athletic girl who goes in for all
the summer sports. With an ample
income and Zest for clothes one may
dress for golf, for walking, for ten
mis-, and all the rest of it, in special
outfits designed for each sport, but
there is no especially good reason for
It. The "pastime suits" and hats in
troduced this season are appropriate
for all sorts of outdoor wear. Two or
three of them will see the average
girl through the summer, and they are
to be used for general outing wear.
A cotton khaki skirt In white and
cotton corduroy sports coat In blue
are combined in the suit shown. No
better choice for the skirt, as to color,
can be made, for white stands the
severest test of the laundry. Cordu-
roys may be had In all the fashionable

Ing, and tastes-fine local color, and
all that-but more like a soda than q
good bracing snifter."
All this was Of no moment to Moore.
He glanced anxiously at Rorke Vivian.
He was the Oldest of the party. He
had done London, Paris, New York in
journalistic way, had written three
books, spoke little, and then to pur-
pose. He sat now, his finely chiseled
face half hidden by his hand, and said
nothing!
There was where the whip scourged,
there lay the bitter sting for Moore!
One word or look Of appreciation from
Vivian would have been more to the
aspiring young writer than all the
others might put in volumes.
Guess last nights extra has used
me up" spoke Vivian at length, aris-
Ing with yawn. Then his lips set
close, as though all this were q mask
TO conceal some unusual emotion. He
rather evaded Moore, the latter
thought. When Vivian was gone the
group broke up. Moore was glad Of 1t.
His soul was bruised. He wished to
be alone, to think.
"It fell fat he soliloquized as he
reached the outer air. Il won't try
again."
He thrust the manuscript into an In
side coat pocket with a savage punch
Of his fist. Then he braced for long
walk. He was emptying out of his
mind all the grand plans he had for a
story, IL his colleagues had given him
the least encouragement-especially
Vivian.
A favorite stroll OF his was along
the city edge, where broken stretch
had been developed into striking pic
turesqueness. and q number OF fine
residences had exclusive location. Az
one spot pretty rustic bridge
spanned a gully with a wayward
stream trickling through. He paused
there. leaning on the railing of ths
bridge.
The surroundings were magically
enhancing in the clear white moon
light, and conducive to quiet thought
but Moore brooded. Something had
gone out OF his life. The first child
of his brain had been ruthlessly ban
ished.
Its the humdrum dog trot and the
bread and butter after this" he ut
tered, almost bitterly. "Good-by!"
He jerked the roll Of manuscript
from his pocket in a resolute way anC
gave Il a vehement fling far as h'
could beyond the bridge. A breez'
was blowing. and the leaves separated

Wells and Furs for
Midsummer

Airy midsummer wells, made to float
with every light breeze that blows, and
to suggest coolness, are affected by
the summer girl. They seem hardly
made for association with cozy-looking
fur pieces but are found side by side
with what are called summer furs In
the wardrobe of the up-to-3sAe follow
ers of fashion. But these two are not
so incongruous us they seem; be-
fore the hours of n summers day have
all rolled away both of them may
prove a very good reason for exist
ence.
The new wells are sometimes the
sole trimming for midsummer hats,
and they are made In fascinating pat
terms, in white or black mostly. A
white hat of satin becomes n back
ground for veil of brilliant black
In a lace and net pattern. Half of
the veil Is sometimes of plain net and
the remainder of lace, worn In the ef-
feet of a harem veil. A white veil on
n black hat Is occasionally managed
with much cleverness, but the white
veil on q white hat Is n JOY of mid
summer, sure to please every one.
Summer furs are made In small
capes of ermIne or moleskin or COM
blnations of these, and In scarfs of

ermine, fox, molesSin, and In ermine
combined with these other furs. They
are fad, or course, but every one Is
ready to forgive an Inconsistency
when 1t is charming. Real fox skins,
In white, are expensive, and ermine
is a royal fur. But furrlers are Won
derfully clever In using other pelts to
initiate both these high-prlced varie-
ties, To the entire satisfaction OF those
who wear them. A very small per
cent of neckpieces classed as fur or
ermine are really entitled to these
names. Other furs masquerade with
such good success under these titles
that they lose their identity. Mole
skins are not rare furs but so much
work is involved in making them up
that summer furs of moleskln com.
mand high price.
With the lighteSt and most sum
merry of apparel fashion DEGREES that
summer furs are correct, and there

got into the soul of his subject, he for

his delivery.
All his former trepidation returned,
however, as he came back to the harsh
realities with the last sentence en-

Boys Become Scarce.

For the first time in more than 20
years the Childrens Aid society of
New York is unable to furnish enough
boys to families who want either TO
adopt them or care for them until the
boys become of age. The reason for
this is the campaign for military pre-
paredness and the great demand for
workers in war munition factories.
Almost every day letters come to
the society headquarters asking for
boys who have been trained ut its farm
school.

listed in the army and navy service
