clever way. I had not been in a
position to reject his gifts. for they
had been given on the ground that
l was to him almost like a grown
daughter, and he would have been
wounded had 1 repelled his kind
ness.
Moreover, to do so would have
made me appear sophisticated and
suspicious. Until this moment 1 had
not had a qualm of doubt about this
man. Then, at this juncture 1 re-
buked myself sharply. The sur
priseI of his declaration had unnerv-
ed me. My employer deserved JUS
tice and generous judgment from
me, not such ingratitude as / had
just been guilty of in my thoughts.
I sighed remorsefuly as l reached
this conclusion. l did not know that
the sigh was audible until Hugh
Parker asked, as he held the coat for
me to put on:
Are you tired, Miss Dart?"
"A little" 1 confessed. Yet I
been out at Hillcrest I have been
very lazy. It's lovely spot in which
to rest isn't it?"
A TrifIe Self-Evident
He ignored my question and an
swered the first half of my sentence.
Work is not the most firing
thing" he remarked. "An hour of
worry or uncertainty will weary
one more than many hours of con-
genial work. At least, | have found
it So" he added quickly, as If to
prevent my thinking that he had me
or my affairs in mind when he made
this statement.
"Oh, WELL" 1 laughed a little to
disarm any suspicious he might
have, while that may be perfectly
true, yet out here where conditions
are IDEAL one need not have wor-
ries. 1 suppose, unless one looks for
them. And one would be very fool
ish to do that anywhere or at any
time"
1 was conscious that I was talking
on the surface to keep from going
any deeper. l must not let him sus-
pect the perturbation l was feeling
this evening.
He said no more, and as 1 went
out on the veranda again I felt that
had not been as sincere in my
treatment of him as he had been
with me, and l had an uncomfort-
able wonder If he suspected this fact.
was disappointed in myself, as If
had not been true to my best i'm
pulses.
Still, I comforted myself minute
later that Hugh Parker had not
doubted my sincerity. AS Tom
brought the runabout to the front
steps and jumped out of it the tutor
stepped forward and helped me into
the car, then threw over my knees
light robe that Mr.. Norton handed
him.
"Oh, 1 won't need that" de-
INJURED.
1T may be cool coming back"
Mr.. Norton reminded me. You'd
better keep it,"
Yes" Mr.. Parker echoed. jest
ingly, 'it's better to be a bit too
warm than to get an unromantic
attack of rheumatism. Good night,
and a pleasant drive!"
AS we drove away, l wondered If
he would be out on the veranda
when we returned. / hoped he
would.

back at him. But now you've accom-
plished your purpose, I hope you
are not going to give up. That would
be little hard on colonel daddy"
"Oh, no; I'm not going to give up
until have to-"
Does that mean more than it
says"
Yes, I'm afraid it does"
She was silent for the length of
time that it took the flaming crimson
in the western sky to fade to salmon
The colonel had mounted the steps
and was coming toward them. The
young woman slipped from the ham
mock and stodd up.
Don't 60" said Smith, feeling as
II he were losing an opportunity and
leaving much unsaid that ought to
be said. But the answer was a quiet
good night and she was gone.
Smith went back to town mith the
colonel the next morning physically
rested, to be sure, but in a frame
of mind bordering again upon the
sardonic. One thing stood out clearly,
he was most unmistakably in love
with Corona Baldwin.
Hence there was another high re-
solve not to go to Hillcrest again
until he could go as a free man; a
resolve which, it is perhaps needless
to say, was broken thereafter as
often as the colonel asked him to go.
Why, in the last resort, Smith should
have finally chosen a confidant in the
person of William Starbuck, the re-
formed cowpuncher, he scarcely
knew. But it was to Starbuck that
he appealed fo radvice when the sem
timental situation had grown fairly
desperate.
1--WE told you enough so that you
can understand the vise-nip of It,
Billy" he said to Starbuck one night
when he had dragged the mine own
Hophra House and had told him tust
a little, enough to merely hintat his
condition. You see how it stacks up.
m in fair way to come out of this
the biggest scoundrel alive-the
piker who takes advantage of the
innocence of a good girl. I'm not the
man she thinks | am. l am standing
over a volcano pit every minute of
the day. If it blows up, I'm gone,
obliterated, wiped out"
rs it aiming to blow up?" asked
Starbuck sagely.
II don't know any more about that
than you do. 1t is the kind that
usually does blow up sooner or later.
I've prepared for 1t as we'll as 1 can.
What Colonel Baldwin and the rest
of you needed was a financial man
ager, and Timanyoni High Line has
its fighting chance-which was more
than Timanyoni Ditch had when
took hold. If l should drop out now,
you and Maxwell and the colonel and
Kinzie could go on and make the
fight; but that doesn't help out in
this other matter"
Starbuck smoked in silence for
long minute or two before he said:
rs there another woman in it,
John?"
Yes; but not in the way you
mean"

guards wit, but his appreciation of
values, that I applaud. He should
go far. He showed not only indi-
viduality and a sense of humor, but
discrimination. In a crowded car
during the rush hours, with every
one intent on getting to business,
his quip would probably have fallen
fiat. 1t needed the smaller audi
ence of a more leisurely time of
day and just such a depressed and
moping bunch as We were to get a
laugh. He chose his psychological
moment, and showed an unerring
sense of the time, the place and the
circumstances.
/ know two men who have the
pathetic delusion that they are
being witty, when they are merely
impertinent. But one of them gets
away with 1t; the other doesn't. The
one who doesn't, doesn't because with
him it's a pose. The one who does,
does because, although stupid, he is
sincere. He has no more harm in
him than a clumsy puppy gamboling
in the sunshine.
The truth is, that most men and
most women, no matter what they
may say or do, are sound at the
core-which is one reason why we
patiently endure so much from our
friends.
We all say things in anger, or in
advertence, or in the great Ameri-
can desire to be funny, which are
wounding and offensive to, others;
but there is an astonishingly small
number of these things that are
really meant.

Yet in a world with it's nerves

must be used with caution. To many

A soft answer, too, must be given at

After dinner, a meal at which he
ate little and was we'll content to
satisfy the hunger of his soul by the
road of the eye, Smith went out to
the portico to smoke. The most gor-
geous of mountain sunsets was paint
ing itself upon the sky over the west
ern Timanyonis, but he had no eyes
for natural grandeurs, and no ears
for any sound saveone-the footstep
he was listening for. 1t came at
length, and he tried to look as tired
as he had been when the colonel
made him close his desk and leave
the office; tried and apparently sue

You poor, broken down Samson,
carrying all the brazen gates of the
money-Philistines on your shoul-
ders! You had to come to us at last,
didn't you? Let me be your Delilah

really comfortable" She said it only
half mockingly, and he forgave the
sarcasm when she arranged some of
the hammock pillows in the easiest
of the porch chairs and made him
bury himself luxuriously in them.

was no guile in the slate-gray eyes.
You mean that you didn't want

NO; not that. l have wanted to
come every time your father has
asked me. But there are reasons
good reasons-why 1 shouldn't be
here"
If she knew any of the reasons
she made no sign. She was sitting in
the hammock and touching one slip
pered toe to the flagstones for the
swinging push. From Smiths point
of view she had fora background the
gorgeous sunset, but he could not
see the more distant glories.
I'VE owe you much, and we are
going to owe you more" she said.
You mustn't think that wedon't ap-
preciate you at your full value.
Colonel-daddy thinks you are the
most wonderful somebody that ever
lived. and so do a lot of the Others"
And you?" he couldn't resist say
ing.
I'm just plain ashamed-for the
way I treated you when you were
here before. I've been eating humble
pie ever since"
Smith breathed freer. Nobody but
a most consummate actress could
have simulated her frank sincerity.
He had jumped too quickly to the
small sum-in-addition conclusion.
She did not know the story of the
absconding bank cashier.
IT don't know why you should
feel that way" he said, eager, now,
to run where he had before been
afraid to walk.
"I do. And I believe you wanted
to shame me, believe you gave up
your place at the dam and took hold
with daddy more to show me what
an inconsequent little idiot l was

He laughed in quiet ecstasy at this
newest and most adorable of the
moods.

CHAPTER LII.

Copyright, 1917, Star Company
There seemed nothing for me to
do but to accede to my employers
request that 1 accompany him on his
trip to the telegraph office. His sug-
gestion was made in such a natural,
commonplace manner as to dis
arm suspicion. He spoke as he might
have spoken to Mrs. Gore herself.
That lady, sitting near me in the
darkness, voiced no protest. If she
disapproved it was in silence. l wait
ed a moment; then her brother-in-
law added:
Grace is fast asleep and Mrs.
Gore will not go to bed before our
return. She will listen for the child,
won't you, Adelaide?"
Certainly, Brewster, I will" the
widow assented. THE ride will do
you good, no doubt"
1t occurred to me that she was
trying, by seconding his sugges-
tions, to make the man forget the
little passage at arms a few days
ago. l had never seen her more
conciliatory than she had been since

1 was surprised at the question.
Few young men were as thoughtful
of the comfort of a girl they had
just met. Then 1 remembered that
the man made his home most of the
year with his mother. This would
account for his consideration of
other women's needs.
"Oh, thank you," l answered. my

rear hall, but 1 will get it myself,

things-things that, while kind, yet

THIS is really a variation

dress is all in one, but the two
materials give a pretty Jacket

fines it at the waist line. AS
it is shown here, handkerchief
linen is combined with eyelet
embroidered linen. The combi.
nation is a very pretty one but
you could think of a great many
ways in which the idea can be
used. 1t can be applied to silk
as well as to linen or to the EN-.
broidered muslins and there are
wonderful opportunities in silk.
In place of the plain and fancy
materials you could use a crepe
with taffeta or a crepe with

Washington, d. c.. June 7.-Presi-
dent Wilson has asked members of
the Senate agricultural committee to
act quickly on the pending legis-
lation to give the government con-

supply. He expressed the fear that
If Congress delayed, European ma
tions largely dependent on American
supplies might begin to compete with
each other in buying here in such
fashion as to send prices in the
United States to alarming heights
and bring about unrest in the great
cities.
The President urged also passage
of the administration bill under
which railroads could be compelled
to give preference to food and fuel
shipments.
