NO" and spasm of pain crossed
Billy's features, as the sudden real
ization smote him that he had fore
ed a night of misery on Hal, as well
as on Halls wife and daughter. He
lit his cigarette and glanced al
Burke. That handy man, broadly de-
lighted, took his glass of green liquid
from the mantel, and left the room
with a light footstep. every tousled
red hair on his head alive with his
qualification. Billy was sober; cold
sober!
Billy rose, and walked slowly over
to the mantel and leaned upon it,
staring down into the fire, the old
man studying him in anxious silence.
Its all off. Hal" he said, in the
even, dead tone which had come out
of his night of miserable wandering.
His hand hung Imply by his side.

drunk!"
"Bnly!"
The hand closed stiffly. and then It
opened again. He compressed his
lips and compelled himself to steadi-
ness. There had been no reproach
in the old mans voice. Billy had been
prepared for reproach, prepared TO
accept 1t for his just due; but he

had not been prepared for that tone
of pity.
II went up there after nine O'Clock, +"
he went numbly on. II stood i'm the
doorway, drunk. They were all dress
ed for the theater. Tavy's mother
gave me back the ring; then she
closed the door"
Jean! Jean" The cry burst from
the old mans lips as If he had been
scared by sudden fire. Again Jean
had met her grizzly enemy face to
face, again she had been pursued and
tortured by that ghastly demon which
had wrecked and embittered her life!
His whole thought in that first real
ization of the picture, was for her.
Then for Tavy, his little Tavy, with
the big glowing eyes and the glossy
black curls. Even to her this hideous
monster must show it's loathsome
face!
''She was dressed in white, pure
white" went on Billy. in that mon
otonously infleXible voice; ''just soft
and clinglng white, with no adorn-
ment around her beautiful white neck
had selected string of pearls which
had intended to give her for a we'd
ding present. Again he closed and
opened the hand which hung at his
side. Her black curls were caught
in with d band of lilies of the valley"
And Jean?' Even now Hal dwelt
with eager hunger on the visualiza-
ton of her. on anything which would
bring new picture of her TO his
mind.
"All in black. Hal. She was very
beautiful"
There was long. long silence be-

(Continued)

Amid that storm of distress there
came the insistently recurring question
in Tavy's mind; why, oh, why? How
could this disaster have fallen on
her! What had she done to deserve
it? Why could not Billy have escap-
ed this terrible deed? She could
scarcely believe now that he had done
it. It was all so unreal. 1t was not
like him! There must have been
some cause, or Billy would never have
done this of his own volition. No
sane human being could will himself
to descend to this hideous fall from
his god-head. Perhaps he had been
i'll. That must be it! There could
be no other explanation, unless she
chose to think of Billy as one of de-
liberately besotted tendencies, who
preferred to sink himself in gluttony.
That thought was absurd. Billy had
never voluntarily put himself in this
condition, and If 1t had come upon him
involuntarily, he was more to be pitied
than blamed.
That was a startling thought! One
which dried her tears and stopped her
sobs. If Billy had been unfortunate,
if this affliction had been brought up
on him against his will, he had need
ed her sympathy, her comfort, even
her aid. And what had she done! She
had let him go without a protest,
chVB WIZ ilid oNOih SCii w Iibit
as sincerely and as whole -heartedly
and as sacredly as she would upon the
day when they would kneel at the
altar and ask the blessing of God
upon their union! She had stood su-
pinely, and allowed to be removed
from her finger the symbol by which
shU had bound herself to him, in love,
and truth, and eternal fidelity! in
his hour of direst need, she hal been
traitorous to Billy; and now she
heaped self-reproach after self-re-
proach upon her own head. She did
not blame her mother. She was just
in this new agony. Her mothers in
stinct of protection, that same instinct
which had shielded 1,avy so tenderl.y =
and yet so vigorously, through all
these years, had led her to guard her
daughter promptly and decisively from
this new menace; but her mother
had not known. She, like Tavy, lad
been stunned oy this unexpected ap-
partition of poor Billy. The only guilty
one was Tavy! She had permitted
the ring to be taken from her finger
She had allowed Billy, her Billy
whom she loved with all her heart ant
with all her life, to be sent away alone

Mother, I've been wrong! / wan
| Billy! We must find him."
Jean Stuart looked at her daughter
pityingly. She had held her tongue

through all this time, knowing, out of
the ashes of her own buried past, that
Tavy must fight this first battle by
herself. Silently she had followed,
step by step. through all the mazes
of Tavy's reasoning and her emotion,
and she had been prepared, for the
heart of Tavy had been her heart,
for this conclusion.
II hope you may never see him
again." she said. They had silently
been putting away their piteously
wasted fineries, but now she drew
Tavy into chair and sat before her.
''Tavy dear, the time has come when
l must myself deal you a blow which
[ had hoped always to spare you. If
| did not know what | know, j would
say, too, that we should find Billy,
and take care of him, and save him
from ever again falling u victim to
that loathsome disease which gripped
him tonight; but no young man who
could, under any circumstances, arrive
at the state in which Billy presented
himself here, is worth the appalling
danger of saving. He is not worth
the absolute sacrifice of any beautiful
young girls entire life"
Tavy half rose. She made move

ed her with gesture. Jean Stuarts

had sprung out of their old hiding
places around her nose and mouth,
and into her eyes had come that spir-
itual deadness which follows the ruth
less mangling and crushing of the
soul. 1t was a face the commands
of which were carried out by awe;
and Tavy sat back in her chair, with
a vague horror of something worse
to come creeping into her mind.
"Tavy dear, l am going to destroy,
because I must, a pride which L have
fostered in you for fifteen years. 1
am going to destroy the noblest ideal
of your life, up to this time. l am
going to strip the veil of hero wor-
ship from the name you most revere.

tween them, then, with a sigh, Billy
went into his own room.
There were days like this, days of
numb suffering, in which neither
man talked much. The blight which
had fallen upon them all was too
big and too devastating for words to
ease. Billy rose early, and worked
hard, and spent his nights at home
with Hal and Tommy; silent evenings
given over to fits of brooding and to
stolid application. Hal was revising
the proofs on the new book, and
Billy brought home, each night, some
drawing on which he could toll when
the moment came in which he must
not think. Tommy, voting them both
deadly bores, merely sat, the most of
the time. Billy had made no attempt
to see Tavy, he had made no effort
at futile apology, he had written no
despairing letters to be returned, and,
day by day, dull dependency settled
upon him, until the need of comfort,
more than Tommy could give became
desperately Imperative. 1t was then
that he went to see Geraldine.
What blessing it was to have a
good, steadfast friend like Geraldine!
She greeted Billy with all the old
gaiety, and all the old, frank fond
ness, and she listened in sympathetic

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
Of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. Whats an inside bath ?"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per-
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. 1t is intend
ed to flush the stomach. liver, kidneys
and the thirty feet of intestines of the
previous days waste, sour bile and in
digestible material left over in the
body which If not eliminated every day
become food for the millions of bac-
: terra which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood, causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds
stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts OF
ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right, are urged to OBJ
tain a quarter-pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
make anyone a. real crank on the sub
ject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act or
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate and
hot water act on the stomach. liver,
Kidneys and bowels. 1t is vastly more
important TO bathe on the inside than
on the outside. because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do.
