"Of course I'll let you take it,
Helen said cordially. She and Mrs.
Canders had struck up quite
friendship and Mrs. Canders had let
Helen take many books of the kind
she herself enjoyed. This was the
first time that she had asked to Dor
row one that Helen possessed ana
she felt very proud to think that
there was something she had that
might give this unusual woman
pleasure.
"I'il tell you what I'll do. Ill
have Mary drop it at your place to-
night. She is going out and VIII
pass right by the house"
The book in question was novel,
but one of the better. class. It had
been very popular when it had hrst
come out for a rather unusual quail
ity that it possessed, and Helen, who
had always been fond OF 1t, had
somehow managed to keep it. That
afternoon she hurried home and
went directly to the book case. But
a thorough search failed to reveal
| the book. Helen wrinkled up her
brows and tried to think where she
| had seen it last. She certainly had
not let anyone take 1t, that she was
certain of, and it ought to be In the
| house somewhere.
Helen looked everywhere. but was
finally forced to give it up. Perhaps
when Warren came home he could
throw some light on the disappear
ance of the book. Helen remember
ed that Warren had read 1t with
great interest some time ago. Per-
haps he had let someone borrow It.
Dear do you know where that
| book Sacred Precincts is?" Helen
asked him the moment he came into
the house.
Warren shook his head. Haven't
seen it for ever so long," he began,
and then stopped. Say, didn't we
take that book with US when we
visited at Freeport?"
Helen stopped to think, and then
her face suddenly cleared. We'll,
if I'm not stupid. OF course we did,
and 1 remember now that I selected
that one because it had rather an
attractive cover. But didn't we
bring it home, WARREN"
"I think so; we'll, I know we had
it with us on the train, because 1
remember tucking it into the seat"
well, we've left it right where
you tucked it in" Helen said dra-
matically. oh I'm SO olsap-
pointed"
1T wasn't particularly valuable,
was it? 1t was an old book" War
rem commented.
II know that, but it was a good
book and I have always kept it.
Mrs. Canders asked me for it to-
day, and I was so sure we had 1t,
and I promised to send it over"
You shouldn't have selected a
book you care about, to carry silk
skeins in" Warren said practically,
and the subject was dropped.
A couple of days later a parcel
came to Helen with the stamp of one
of the largest jewelry stores in the
city up at one corner. Silver was
the first thing that came into her
mind Who could be sending her
silver? Could it be possible that
Warren was sending her anything?
But no, that was too unlike him, and
quickly tearing off the paper wrap
nings Helen brought to light the
long-lost book. A card was enclosed
which simply said that the book had
been discovered on the counter, and
they were sending it back to the
owner with the compliments of the
firm.
Look, dear" Helen said. rush.
ing into the living room and show
ing the book to Warren.

home for me in its peace and for the
small Pierre and the old and faith
full Nannette?"
"A home and-and other things,
boy, when you ask for them" she
answered me, with a very beautiful
look of affection that, while it pleas
ed me greatly, also made for me an
unreasonable embarrassment.
rs 1t that you think I will obtain
the affection of my uncle, the Gen.
eral Robert Carruthers, Madam
Whitworth ?" 1 asked of her, with a
great wftstfulness, for I had told
her of his summons to me, and she
knew already the story of his hard
ness of heart against my mother.
The general is a very difficult
person. she made answer to me, and
saw that softness of her beautiful
mouth become as steel as she spoke
of him. ITO woman he is impos-
sible, as have found to my cost, but
all men adore him and follow him
madly so I suppose his attitude to-
ward them is different from his atti-
tude toward women. My husband and
disagree utterly about the general.
In fact, the old gentleman and are
at daggers' points just now, and am
afraid-afraid that he will make it
difficult for you to be-be, friends
with me, as Il want you to be-"
Neither the General Carruthers
nor any man, madam, dictates in
matters of the heart to the Mar
quise de-that is, to Robert Car
ruthers of Gree and Bye, if that is the
way I must so name myself now," I
answered in the manner of the old
Marquis of Flanders, tinged with the
grande dame manner of the beauti-
full young Marquise of Cree and Bye
whom I had murdered and left in
that room of the great hotel in New
York.

Fashions of To-Day Ely May Manton

The night gown of today is
sure to be a pretty one, but
it is difficult to find a more
attractive model than the one
shown here. The scalloped
edge is so simple that any
woman can accomplish it with
out difficulty. The square effect
shown in the small view will be
liked for some materials and
for some uses. 1t can be made
somewhat more dainty by a
little embroidery worked on the
yoke or you can make the yoke
and the sleeves of all-over ma
terial. Fine handkerchief lawn

wasn't valuable enough. Besides, a
stranger isn't going to buy unneces-
sary postage for a thing of that
kind. 1t was your carelessness that
lost it."
But this firm was willing enough
to do it." Helen retorted.
That's different. They probably
thought that you had bought some
thing in their place, and would ap-
preciate the courtesy to the extent
of coming back for something else.
A large firm can afford to do little
things like that. They get enough
out of it to pay for the trouble"
'I think. I should have sent 1t
back" Helen persisted, IF I had
found it."
"Oh, you women" Warren return

me read my paper in peace. I've

CHAPTER III.
The Impossible Uncle Robert

After many months. in which
came to me cruel pain and long,
hard fight for the honor of my be-
loved, cannot but remember that
feeling of gratitude that came over
me as l went into sleep on that
narrow shelf under which lay the
beauty of that Madam Patricia Whit
worth.
In the eight years that I had be-
come all of life to my father we had
made many travels into distant lands
and had seen all of beauty that the
old world had to offer seekers after
it, but nowhere had I seen the ma
jestic wonder of this his own land
that beheld pass by like a series of
great pictures wrought by a master.
All of the morning I could but sit
and gaze with eyes that sometimes
dimmed with tears for him as faster
and faster I was carried down into
his own land of the valley of Har-
peth, which he had given up for
love of my mother and from the
cruelness of my wicked uncle, who
would not welcome her to his home.
When the great Harpeth hills, in
their spring flush from the rosiness
of what l afterward learned was
their honeysuckle and laurel, shot
with the iridescent fire of the pale
yellow and green and purple of red
bud and dogwood and maple leaf, all
yelled in a creamy mist over their
radiance, came into view as we ar
rived nearer and nearer to Hayes
vile, my hand went forth and grap-
ed closely the hand of Madam Whit
worth.
And the small homes in the val
ley, madam" said, with the sheep
and cattle and grain and children
surrounded, they need never fear the
| fire of shell and the roar of the cruel
guns. This valley is a fold in the gar
ment across the breast of the good

were to lead me on into the strange
land of men in search Of those for
hidden fruits.
And from that moment on / did
very much enjoy myself in conver-
sation with that Madam Michief,
while we together did watch the
retirement of all of the persons in
the train. She had many funny re-
marks to make and made me merry
with them, so that the hour of IL
o'clock had arrived before we had
summoned the very black male
chambermaid to tnrn our seats into
beds. All others were in sleep that
was a confusion of sound from
everywhere, and we must stand in
the aisle while the beds were being
distracted

Greeks Had No Standard.

The ancient Greeks had no standard,
although they venerated the emblems
on their shields as we our flag. The
first flag used by the Greeks was dec
Grated with a two-headed eagle and
was used in the revolt against the
Turks in 1864. In the revolution Of
1859 white flag with blue cross was
raised. In 1903, when Ali Pasha was
ravaging Thessaly, John Stathans led
a fotilla into Skiathos under q flag
which was the same as that in use at
the present day-blue with white
cross. The first flag Of the great revo-
luton was raised by Marco Botzaris,
on October 25, 1920. 1t was white with
an icon Of st. George. On January I,
1922, the national assembly in Epidau-
rus, at the foundation of the independ-
ence of Greece, defined the Greek flag
as follows: On the land, nine horizon
tai stripes, a plain blue flag in four
quarters, with white cross in the mid
die, to be called the "land flag" On
the sea, nine horizontal stripes, five
blue and four white, with blue
square in the corner in four quarters,
on which is a white cross. This is the
flag known as the Greek flag today.
The blue ground is very dark.

the idea that Carr was his real enemy.
Killion drank all that afternoon and
made threats that he was going to Kill
a marshal, but nobody took him very
seriously. At ten that night, while
Carr was having his supper In Ern-
hardt's saloon, Killion staggered up
to the door and called him out. Carr
went out and they were seen to walk
a short distance together. Then Kill
lion swung around.
you've been bounding me, you liar,
and now I'm going to get even," ne
cried, and whipping out a revolver.
he shot Carr four times.
Carr returned the fire, but he was
too badly wounded to take aim. He
fell to the sidewalk, when killion
sprang upon the dying man and be-
gan pounding him savagely about the
head with the butt Of his revolver
He then took the marshals club and
star and threw them into the street.
Carr died thirty minutes later, but
lived long enough to make a state
ment to the effect that Kill1on had
fired the first shot.
The death of Carr Infatuated the
town, for the dead man, who had been
a carpenter, by trade, bore reputa-
ton as a quiet, peaceable citizen, and
was universally popular. He left "a
widow and several children. Killfon,
who had escaped to his sisters house,
was tracked there, and the house was
surrounded by a mob, which threat
ened to blow it up with dynamite un-
less Killion surrendered. Killion gave
himself UP and was lodged in Jail.
There was much talk Of lynching him,
but no concerted action was taken.
At the trial it developed that Kill
lions father had also been murderer.
The jury was out only ten minutes,
and brought in verdict of guilty Of
murder in the first degree, after

ishment has been practically, though
not theoretically abolished in Kansas,
Killion was sent to the penitentiary
for life.
That was the first death to arise out
of the Monte Carlo raid. Others were
to follow.

series of tragedies altogether out OF
proportion to the situation.
The lesser actors could not avoid
basking in the light of Johnson's repu-
tation. In particular Carr was unable
to abstain from letting it become
known that it was he who had check
mated Killion and Paradise in their
attempt to "play a habeas corpus
stunt" The news reached Killion's
cars. He brooded over it all the time
that. he was in prison, and, when he
came out, he resolved to be revenged
on Carr.
However, he did not take any i'm
mediate steps toward this end. Cir
cumstances would have to be propi-
tious. The dad man" Is always a
coward unless crazed by drink. When
Killion was crazed enough to be reck-
less, and Carr happened to be in. the
vicinity, there would be the conjunc-
ton of circumstances. That conjunc-
ton occurred.
Killion had a notorious record. He
had run a gambling house in Caney
for several years, had been many
times in the county jail, and had been
implicated in a number of shooting
ARRAYS, though mostly for the purpose
Of acquiring reputation as desper-
ado than for killing. Soon after his
release from the penitentiary he was
arrested by Carr upon the streets OF
Caney for drunkenness, and was pa
rolled by the Judge. Killion was not
quite drunk enough to screw himselt
up to the point Of murder, but ne
threatened Carr.
"Tll get even with you for this
he snarled. II haven't forgotten that
trick you played me about Pussyfoot'
either"
Carr did not reply, but took Killion
to the police station.
A few days later Carr, while ma
king his rounds, discovered that a
poker game was in course of progress
in a. certain building, and, going IN,
took possession of the chips and other
paraphernalia. He did not know at
the time who was the owner OF the
place, but discovered subsequently
that it was Killion. This act enraged
Killion all the more, and he conceived

MlDDLE-AGED MEN SUPERIOR
They Have Training and Experience
Impossible for Youth to Have
Obtained.

What are the accumulatiOns which
ought to make fifty filter to exercise
authority than twenty-five? Book
knowledge partly, but for the most
part thoughts, writer in Harper's
says. BY the time he is fifty a man
who is to amount to anything should
have come to a few large, seasoned
convictions that are part Of the fiber
Of his mind.
Convictions of that sort are not
blithely obtained out Of books. Books
may have to do with them, but they
are acquisitions Of the spirit, and
though the rudiments Of them may be
come by in youth, they need to be tenn
pered, tried out and adjusted to prac-
tice by years of thought, talk, observa-
ton, effort and experiment with life.
Washington at twenty-five had in him
the rudiments Of the Washington that
was to be, but had nearly twenty years
of training before he took command
of the Confederate armies, and he was
first president at ffty-seven. Lincoln
in early manhood CROPPED his way
through grievous distress and perplexi-
ties, but by the time he married, when
he was thirty-three, he had come, it
would seem, to clear sense of the
fundamental convictions that made
him. Eighteen years more he thought
and read and talked in courts and
taverns, and pleaded on the stump the
faith that was in him, and Travelled
variously, and then at fifty-one he was
elected president. Pitt, prime minis
ter at twenty-four because England
was short handed and couldn't wait
for him to get his growth, broke down
in the middle of his job and died at
forty-seven. Napoleon was first con-
sui at thirty, had completed his ac-
tivities at forty-six, and died at fifty
two. Alexander at thirty-three had
done everything that seemed to him

desirable to do in the world at that
time and departed out of it. Youth
makes a greater figure in war than in
anything else, but war is a compare
lively simple business and can be
learned young. In most matters men
are lucky if they can take their time
to learn and escape the prices and
the heavy responsibilities of leader
ship until their thoughts are matured,
their skill is fully practiced and their
characters have been shaped and hard
ened in the forge Of life.
