"But you must have thought

Helen smiled at this. She was
capable at managing other peoples

muddle her own.
well, tell me and we'll see what
can be done,' Helen said, coaXingly,
and Laura made an effort to control
herself and speak.
"You know, Helen, that I love Dick,
Helen nodded emphatically.
well, then you know I wouldn't
do anything for the world that would
hurt him, but he thinks l have de-
ceived him. Do you remember Car

wasn't supposed to be a tete-a-tete,
but for a long time L have noticed
that he has been acting strangely, and
when he said he wanted to tell me
something, L thought he must be in
trouble.
Helen, when he came he began to
talk wildly and he finally ended by
me. L just simply was so surprised
that l couldn't get away for a mo-
ment or so, and Mathilde, the new
maid, came in with the tea, and she
saw everything. 1t was horrible"
And Laura buried her face in her
hands.
"And she told Dick?" questioned
Helen.
"Of course she did. 1 wouldn't
have dreamed of speaking to her
about it one way or another.
couldn't ask her not to mention the
matter; it savored too much of guilt,
and l had nothing to be ashamed of.
Why, 1 haven't even flirted with Car
lyle; he's nothing but q foolish boy"
II wonder why she told Dick"
said Helen contemplatively.
II don't know" walled Laura, land

L told Dick that he was believing the
word of "a servant against my own,
and he was horrible to me. He said
that l had never loved him anyway,
that l had married him for his money
and to escape drudgery. He said that
L had been flirting with Carlyle for
some time and that | was always
picking out some youngster to en-
slave
why, Helen, I never knew 1 had
any charms until l was able to buy
some decent clothes, and l should
be happy to go off somewhere with
Dick and Joan and live in a cave"
Helen knew that Laura meant
what she said, and she smiled COM
fortingly.
Does Carlyle know anything about
this?" she queried.
why no. of course not" Laura re-
turned surprised.
We'll, listen, Laura, if I help you,

was q small embroidery loom, q tray
filled with many little compartments
full of assorted beads, Nwater-c color
box surrounded by half-painted
place cards set up to dry, and a per-
feet Kaleidoscope of bright colored
bits of silk. On the table, too, were
several fantastic dolls, all of them
in the same queer stage of semi
completion; elaborate court costumes
from the waists down, and chiefly
stuffedness and baldheadedness from
the waist up. Yet with all this con-
fusion of purpose and means, there
was neatness and dainty cleanliness,

man to the same rigid inspection he

Billy felt guilty of rudeness, but he
found instant Justification. He had u
report to make, and he would be ask
ed an intinity of questions at home.
He hoped to be able to answer some
of the most likely ones.
MY name is Billy Lane" he began,
conscious that the dark gray eyes
were sparkling with the prim for
violet now? He withheld himself
from looking. "I am an engineering
architect. L was an ardent student
of your husbands books"
"Yes? The hands of Mrs. Stuart
held a piece of the bright colored
silk; evidently the jacket OF one of the
fine court ladies on the table; but
her long, thin fingers locked through
the silk as she bent forward eagerly.
''Mr. Stuart died some fifteen years
ago. / believe"
There was an instant unlocking of
the long, thin fingers, and, for a mo-
ment, they fluttered, then re-locked,
and a light leaped into the patient
blue eyes.
YES" Still bent eagerly forward.
Billy felt the dark gray eyes of
the girl studying him seriously now,
and he was more at ease. He even
glanced at them. BY George, they

"Oh, my dear" came family over
the telephone. II wonder If you
could come right over, 1 am in such
trouble" The voice was Laura Rich
ards's and Helen could not help won
dering what was wrong this time. Last
winter Lauras husband had had a
Irritation with a very pretty widow,
and Helen who had stumbled on the
affair quite by accident, had man.
aged things so that Laura had never
forgotten what Helen had done for
her.
Helen we'll remembered the day
when she and Laura had taken tea
and she had helped Laura play her
trump card. Laura had been too
miserable to care what happened,
she had been too unhappy to avoid
showing her jealousy, and to show
ones jealousy at any time is fatal.
Helen had just finished lunch, and
now she hastily dressed and was soon
on her way. Every time she called
on Laura, which was seldom, due to
the fact that Laura had married a
society man and was usually busy
with social engagements, 1T struck
Helen anew, that Laura had certainly
been in luck to marry as she did. 1t
did not seem so very long ago when
Laura was a stenographer in Mr..
Richards office, and was living in a
was certainly strange.
The door of the Richards house on
Madison avenue was opened by a
pert-faced maid. Helen did not care
for her looks at all, and when she
asked for Mrs. Richards the girl look
ed entirely too wise to suit Helen.
She said, nothing, however, and sim
ply followed the maid upstairs to
Laura's sittingroom, where a moment
later the maid left them alone.
What is it, dear?" Helen asked
anxiously. Laura had been crying
and looked bad. Her face was swol-
len and her eyes looked faded. Helen
had never seen Laura look so bad.
"Oh, Helen, I just had to come to
you. L know you are true and that
l can trust you and you helped me
so much last time" Laura half sob
bed out the words.
Laura, you don't mean to tell me
that there is some one else now. L
just can't believe it,
mo, l almost wish there were,
but it's something entirely different,
and ! am nearly frantic
well, suppose you tell me all
about it," suggested Helen, trying to
speak calmly. "By the way, Laura,
/ don't like the looks of your maid
very much - she looks too danger
GUS"
a Serious Problem
Laura burst out furiously: "She
is dangerous; she has made a terrible
lot of trouble for me, but Dick be-
lieves in her and | don't dare get
rid of her now!'
Helen tried to make something out
of Laura's strange words, but they
were too deeply involved, and so
Helen simply waited for more before
saying anything.
Laura continued to sob wildly, and
Helen finally remonstrated
Laura, you're getting hysterical;
its folly to allow yourself to lose con-
troll like this. Where is your pride,
your backbone? Come, tell me ali
about it. | know | can help"
I'm afraid you can't this time"

hope faded once more from the the
patient blue eyes. No news of him!
The long, thin fingers unlocked, and
took up the tiny silk jacket.
"a personal need for authoritative
information on that subject has given
me an interest in this matter, and it
has occurred to me that Mr.. Stuart's
manuscript might be in such shape as
to make it's publication possible. 1t
should be of considerable financial
value to you. Also, it would be of
vast benefit to students of structural
iron work. Harrison Stuart" and
here he included both mother and
daughter in his genuine enthusiasm,
was SO far ahead of his time that
they haven't caught up with him
yet!'
A bright smile rewarded him for
the tribute 1t was a friendly smile,
in which there was no i1npishness,
Il smile of delicately curving red lips,
of pearly teeth, of flashing dimples,
of twinkling black curls, of large,
luminous eyes; dark blue!
II scarcely think it possible" Mrs.

Stuart examined the tiny silk jacket
critically. There was q threaded
needle sticking in it. She drew out
the needle and took stitch or two.
"Mr. Stuart's former publisherS.
shortly after his DEATH" slight
hesitation before the word, "examin-
ed the manuscript, and they pro-
nounced it too incomplete for publi-
cation"
II had an impression that such
was the case, Mrs. Stuart" Billy
went on, most uncomfortably. He
felt, somehow, like a traitor, in the
presence of these women, knowing
what he did. He had only to say
one sentence to bring such happiness
into this room as it had not known
for years! He had q terrific impulse
to say it, an impulse so strong that
it frightened him. "It occurs to me,
however, that we might have some
