The next instant the door had closed
behind her, and K. was left alone tC
such Indebtedness and bliss as the
evening brought him.
Joe DrummOnd came to see Sidney
the next day. She would have avoid
ed him If she could, but Mimi had
ushered him up to the sewing room
boudoir before she had time to es.
cape. She had not seen the boy for
two months, and the change In him
startled her. He was thinner, rather
hectic, scrupulously well dressed.
"Why, Joe!" she said, and then
won't you sit DOWN."
He was still rather theatrical. He
dramatized himself, as he had that
night the June before when he had
asked Sidney to marry him. He stood
just inside the doorway. He offered
no conventional greeting whatever
but, after surveying her briefly, her
black gown, the lines around her eyes
You're not going back to that place
Of courseT'
II haven't decided"
He stared at her incredulously.
"You don't mean that you are going
to stand for this sort Of thing? Every
time some fool makes a mistake, are
they going to blame 1t on your"
please don't be theatrical. Come
In and sit down. / can't talk to you If
you explode like a rocket all the
time"
Her matter-of-fact tone had It's eff.
feet. He advanced into the room, but
he still scorned a chair.
Il guess you've been wondering why
you haven't heard from me-" he said
1--WE seen you more than you've seen
me-"
Sidney looked uneasy. The idea OF
espionage is always repugnant, and to
have a rejected lover always in the
ofing, as it were, was disconcerting.
II wish you would be just little
bit sensible. Joe. It's so silly of you

She checked herself abruptly and
sat down. After moment: HAS it
ever occurred to you how terribly
mixed up things are? Take this
Street, for instance. Can you think of
anybody on it that-that things have

Its q little world of it's own, of

ever one finds people, many or few,
one finds all the elements that make

death, and even tragedy. That's rath-
er trite, isn't it?"
Christine was still pursuing her
thoughts.

He tried to leaven the conversation
with little fun.

She can both speak and hear enough

He's mad about her, K; and, because
she's the sort she is, he'll probably be
mad about her all bis life, even if he
marrles her. But he'll not be true to
her; l know the type now"
X. leaned back with a flicker of
pain in his eyes.
What can do about it?''
Astute as he was, he did not suspect
that Christine was using this method
to fathom his feeling for Sidney. Per-
haps she hardly knew it herself.
You might marry her yourself, K"
But he had himself In hand by this
time, and she learned nothing from Ell

(TO BE CONTINUEDD
SEEM TO BE FEWER BLONDES
Types of Females Are Beginning
to Predominant.

A silly little story came out of st.
Louis the other day to the effect that
increased cost of peroxide of hydro
gen was causing the girls out there to
quit bleaching their hair, and, as con-
sequence, fewer blondes were to be
seen. The bleached blonde is one Of
the lay figures of the joker; or, rather,
Of the joker who cannot keep ahead Of
the times, because she has been the
target of humorous shafts ever since
the Spanish-American war. Serious
", though, aren't there fewer blondes
yellow-haired girls have you seen in
the street cars In the last month? Very
few; and to one girl with light eyes
and coloring you will see half-dozen
brunettes of varying shades. Wen
leave it TO the sociologist to establish
the relationship between the number
of immigrants from southern Europe,
where the people are mostly dark, and
the growing scarcity Of real blondes.
The sociologist no doubt can present
ali sorts of interesting theories, but we
are confronted with a fact. During
daily Journeys On one car line covering
a period of II months one observer has
failed to decry single blonde that
he would be sworn was genuine; and
he is a person of fair eyesigbt and
partial to the light ones. What's the
answer ?-Pittsburgh Gazetteer Times.

He seemed hardly to be listening.
His thoughts had ranged far ahead
Suddenly

you take Max Wilson, you're going to
have more trouble than Christine ever
dreamed of. can tell you some things
about him now that will make you

He was very white, but he picked
up his hat and went TO the door.

been wanting to go away, but mother
raises such fuss-Pll not annoy you
any more"
He left her standing there and ran
down the stairs and out into the
street. At the foot of the steps he
almost collided with Doctor Ed.
Back to see Sidney?" said Doctor
Ed genially. That's fine. Joe. I'm
glad you've made it up."
The boy went blindly down the
street.

me; it's really because you care for
yourself"
"You can't look at me and say that,
Sid"
He ran his finger around his collar
an old gesture; but the collar was very
loose. He was thin; his neck showed
1t.
I'm just eating my heart out for
you, and that's the truth. And 1t isn't
only that. Everywhere I go, people
say, There's the fellow Sidney Page
turned down when she went into the
hospital I've got so 1 keep off the
Street as much as I can"
Sidney was half alarmed, half frri-
tated. This wild, excited boy was not
the doggedly faithful youth she had
always known. 1t seemed to her that
underneath his quiet manner and care
fully-repressed voice there lurked
something irrational. something she
could not cope with. She locked I'D at
him helplessly.
"But what do you want me to do?
You-you almost brighten me-"
you're going back?"
Absolutely.
Because you love the hospital, or
because you love somebody connected
with the hospital?'
Sidney was thoroughly angry by this
time, angry and reckless. She had
come through so much that every
nerve was crying in passionate pro-
test.

things any better" she cried, IT am
going back for both reasons I"

Then the guard explained to the
old woman what his orders were, and
after he ascertained that she had been
in the habit OF making a highway out
of the bridge in order to get short
cut to her patrons in Rivermont, she
was permitted to take her usual risk
in crossing the river.
AT the southern end OF the bridge
there was another command to stop
and this one proved too much for the
old woman. for she declared:
"Ah bet you The mex time All wants

When she reached the destination
the aged negress had about returned
