CHAPTER TV-continued.

Towards the end OF the voyage Allx
faced. wlde-eyed, the revelation that
the stakes OF the game she and Alan
had played were body and soul.
ALAN" she said one night with droop-
ing head, I've had enough. / don't
want to play any more. | want to
quit" she lifted tear-iled eyes to
him. The foil of artifciality had been
knocked from her hand She was all
woman and defenseless.
Alan felt a trembling in all his
limbs. IL want to quit. too. Alix," he
said in his low vibrating voice, "but
I'm afraid we can't. You see. I'm
beaten, too. While 1 was just in love
with your body we were safe enough,
but now I'm in love with you. It's
The kind of love man can pray for
In vain. No head in it, nothing but
heart. Honor and dishonor become
mere names. Nothing matters to me
but you"
Tears crawled slowly down Alix'
cheeks. She stood with her elbows
on the rail and faced the ocean so no
one might see. Her hands were locked.
In her mind her own thoughts were
running. Somehow she could under
stand Alan without listening. If only
Gerry had done this thing to her, she
was thinking the pltilesS wracking
misery would have been joy at white
heat She was unmasked at last-but
Gerry had not unmasked her. Not
once since the day of their engage
ment had Gerry unmasked himself.
Alan was standing with his side to
the rail- his eyes leaving her face only
to keep track of the promenaders so
that no ofiicious friend should take her
by surprise. He went on talking. Our
judgment is calling to us to quit but
II is calling from days ago." he said.
"We wouldn't listen then and it's only
the echo we hear now. We can try
to quit if you like. but when | am
alone l shall call for you, and when
you are alone you will call for me.
We will always be alone except when
we are near each other. We can't
break the tension, Alix. 1t will break
as in the end"
The slow tears were still crawling
down AK cheeks In all her life
she had never suffered so before. She
felt that each tear paid the price Of all
her leyity
"Alan," she said with quick glance
at him, did you know when we began
that it was going to be like this?'

escape from you as a close shave
AliX sprang to her feet She was
trembling. Gerry felt a throb of ex-
ultation. 1t was his turn to wound.
what do you mean?" said Al!x
very quietly. but it was the quiet Of
suppressed passion at white heat.
81 mean that Alan Is the kind Of
man who finds other mems wives an
economy. He would take everything
you have that's worth taking. but not
you"
Alix' eyes bla<ed at him from her
white face. please go away" she
said. He started to speak. please
go away" she repeated. Her lips were
quivering and her face twitched in a
way that was terrifying to Gerry. He
hurried out repeating to himself over
and over. "You have made Alix cry.
You have made Alix cry"
Aix toyed with the silver on her
dressing table until he had gone and
then she swept across the room to
her little writlng-desk and wrote the
note that Alan mad found half an hour
later I'm his rooms.

Placing the Blame.

"O-o-o-oh! Bo-o-o-ho-o-o!"
AS the childish wall rang through
the house the anxious mother sprang
to her feet. Rushing into the hall,
she met her little daughter coming in
from the garden and carrying brok-
en- doll by the leg.
What's the matter. darling?" she
asked. tenderly.
"Oh-o-oh, mo-o-other," howled the
child, "Willie's broken my do-olll"
THE naughty boy! How ever did
he do it?"

was the slow response.

Alix for Alan and Alan's nature was
without understanding but 1t was gen.
uine. He knew there were such men
and he ascrlbed all their acts to a de-
basement beyond regeneration and
none TO temperament. From moral
laxity there was no appeal beyond the
sin itself.
The landfall OF Pernambuco awoke
him from reveTies and intrOspectiOn.
He did not look upon this palm-strewn
coast as a land OF new beginnings-he
sought merely a Lethean shore.
The ship crawled In from an oily
sea to the long strip of harbor behind
the reef. Above. the sun blaZed from
a bowl OF unbroken blue; on land,
the multicolored houses spread like a
rainbow under a dark cloud Of brown
tiled roofs. Giant plane trees cast blots
of shade on the cobbled esplanade
OF the boat quay. In their shelter
negress squatted behind her basin OF
CONSCIOUS and another before tray
OF fried fish. Around them lounged
a ragged crew, bOatmen. stevedores
and rffraff. black, brown and white.
Beyond the trees was a line of high
succeed houses, each painted diff
ferent color, all weather-stained. and
some with rusted balconies that threat
ened to toppe on to the passer-by.

Now / came to one Of the Great
Lakes, on which was a Steamboat, and
paid one dollar to the Purser, and
rode from one city to another, yea,
from the third hour of the morning to
the fifth hour of the evening.
And there were few passengers on
the boat, and | wandered whittier
listed. And every man spoke Kindly
to me, and everything upon the boat
was as if it had been mine own.
/ climbed upon the Hurricane Deck,
and the Pilot spake to me, saying,
Thou mayest enter.
So / entered, and he showed me how
to steer the ship, and how to Ring the
Bells that gave Signals TO the Engi-
neer whether to go or to halt, and
whether to Sail Fast or Slow.
Now while we talked there came one
Of the Passengers, a man whom al
ready had seen, and he asked Civil
Question of the Pilot, and the Pilot
answered him roughly, and the man
asked another question and the Pilot
answered not, but pointed to sign
where it was written.
'HOLD NO CONVERSATION
WITH THE MAN AT THE WHEEL"
Then | went down into the lower
Parts of the Ship, and / spake with
the Engineer, who showed me his En-
CINE, and how the Wheels went Round,
and the Propeller did Propel, and
while we were yet speaking the same
Passenger came down, and he spoke
to the Engineer and the Engineer was
rude to him.
And whatsoever part Of the ship |
Il L - -,
place it was the same. Yea, the men
who were kind to me were all Harsh
to him. Yea, when the time came for
ing Room and curse him in the pres
ence of the Other Passengers.
And / spake unto the Captain Of
the Ship, and said:
Who is the poor man whom every
man seemeth to hate, whose hand like
that of Ishmael is against every mans
hand, and who alone Of all men upon
board hath no rights on this ship?
And the Captain made answer, He
is the Man who Owneth this Boat.
And the Captain told me the Boat
had cost Ten Thousand Dollars and
was Losing Money every Trip, and
the owner had Come on Board to
Learn the Reason Why, and how every
man was wroth with him, and Despis-
\ ed him, he being only rich man who
knew nothing about ships, and could
only Poke his Internal Nose into bust
ness that he could not Understand.
Yea, the Captain said that he and all
men on the Ship would Rejoice if the
Old Duffer should fall overheard.
Now / mediated much concerning
this matter. For he had paid Ten
Thousand Dollars and had nothing but

second suds as above, and rinse IN
clear water, then blued water and thin
starch. Tack on board, stretching
the muslin evenly. When nearly dry,
remove from the board and press
through the muslin. Do not iron.
White laces when not in use will
keep their color if wrapped in bright
blue paper. Cotton laces dye better
than linen, but any white lace will not
dye a good black. White lace will dye
any Of the light colors, however. Ecru
lace can easily be made from white
by dipping in coffee.
Ink spots on lace can be removed
by applying an ink remover. Iron
rust may be removed with hydro
chloric acid. Apply to the stain and
place in a bowl of hot water, then in q
bowl of ammonia water. Grease stains
may be removed with soap and water.
Paint stains are removed with turpen-
tine if they are fresh. II old, use
turpentine and chloroform and press
under plotting paper. Fruit stains on
lace should be washed in borax water,
then in weak solution Of chloride of
lime and acetic acid. Wine and coffee
stains are treated in the same way.
Acid stains are removed by ammonia.
Mildew can be done away with by
washing in strong soap and pulveriz-
ed chalk, then hanging the lace in the
sun.

Nntrifions Luncheon

Days at home when pressed Tor
time, il is difficult to find something
quick and easy for luncheon all too
often. Cheese preparations are fine
for such occasions and are satisfying.
Stale bread, buttered little and then
covered with grated cheese and baked
makes an appetizing dish. The cheese
covered bread should be piled up in
layers in a baking pan and milk
enough TO moisten the bread poured
into the pan, then the mixture should
be placed in moderate oven to bake.
A plain lettuce salad with French
dressing is a pleasant addition, or a
sliced tomato, green peppers or onions
may be made into a salad and eaten
with the baked dish. Freshly pre-
pared tea and good bread and butter
is all else required.

THU, THANKFUL HEART

THU, THANKFUL HEART
For all that God in mercy sends.
For health and children, home and
friends;
For comforts in the time of need.
For every kindly word or deed
For happy thought and holy talk.
For guidance in our daily walk.
In everything, give thanks.
For beauty in this world Of ours,
For fragant grass and lovely flowers.
For songs Of birds and hum of bees.
For the refreshing summers breeze.
For hill and plain, for stream and
wood,
For the great oceans mighty flood
In everything give thanks.
For the sweet sleep which comes with
night,
For the returning morning light,
For the bright sun that shines on
high,
For the stars glittering in the sky
For these, and everything we see,
0. Lord, we lift our hearts to Thee;
In everything give thanksl

Seed Beans at Cost

According to local bean buyers an
agreement is being reached among all
elevator operators in the state to sell
seed beans at cost for next seasons
planting. Seed beans are said to be
so scarce that obtaining them for
Michigan is problem, this state be-
ing one Of the heaviest bean growers
in the union. Buyers are now max
ing every effort to get sufficient seed
for their respective communities and
are compelled to pay big prices to OBJ
tain them, even in the smallest lots.
Three dollars to $3.50 is being paid at
the local elevators, but selected seed
beans have brought as high as $500.
