CHAPTER III.

1.-THE uncle of America has come
Pierre and me from a careless MEM
ory and the writing of my hand,
which is of great boldness. but not
to be easily read" I explained as I
read the letter aloud to Pierre and
Nannette.
1t took me just one hour by the
clock, sitting there on the pile of
steamer wraps with the small Pier
re in the hollow of my arm to ex-
plain and translate the sense of that
letter to old Nannette, and l feel
sure she would have been sitting
upon that spot yet. immovable, rath-
er than let me depart from her If
had not put all of my time and force
upon the picturing to her of a Pier
re who could come down with her
later to me in a condition to me in
condition to run through the gar
dens of Twin Oaks, which was the
home of the American ancestors
With that vision constantly before
her she let the porter and me insert
her into a taxicab and extract her
at the door of the small private hos
pital of the good DR.. Burns, who
was to perform the miracle for the
back and hip of small and radiant
Pierre.
But what is it that do to per-

were the words with which left her
arguing with that very sympathetic
and sensible doctor of America. He
had not noticed a confusion of sex
was between Pierre and me-. and
| he had sent out the check of my
wicked uncle and procured the
American money for me. Also he had
given me a few directions that he
appeared to think of a great suf-
| ficiency and had ordered a taxi tc

Nonsense, nurse he said tc

unkindness, when 1 had translated

Nannette sohbed into her lace and
] turned my head away as the tall
man bent and laid the frail little
hand against his decoration, which
he wore almost entirely hidden un-
der the pocket of his tweed Norfolk
of English manufacture. Only French
ewes like wee Pierre's could have
seer it pinned there hidden over his
heart. I think he wore it to give him
a large courage for his mission that
meant bread or starvation to so
many of his people.
"Ah. NJ. Ie Capitaine." I said to
him, with a softness of tears in my
throat, Il would that there was some
little thing that l might do to serve
France. I do so long to- go into those
awful trenches with that red cross
or my arm. as it is not permitted
to me to carry a gun, which l can
use much better than many men now
handling guns with bullets against
the enemy. But il is necessary that
/ obey the commands of my soldier
father and take to a safety the small
Pierre" And as we spoke he walked
beside me to the prov of the large
ship so that to US was q view of the
heavens of blue beyond which lay
our America.

answered me as we stopped to watch
the great white waves flung aside
from the ship. France needs friends
in America, great, powerful friends
who will help her in contracting for
food and all other munitions. A
beautiful woman can do much in
winning those friends. You go to

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

This is an all round practical,
serviceable suit that you can
make of wool material or of
pongee or of a sports silk and
for which you can use all wool
or silk in combination with
wool, as you like. Wool jersey
is one of the best liked and
most fashionable materials and
is always handsome with trim
ming of itself in a contrasting
color. Plain serge is pretty
with plaid and silks of pongee
in distinctly sports color
will make excellent suits for
the warmer weather. Shantung
in the natural color is extremely
smart this season and has many
advantages. 1t is especially
handsome trimmed with brown
or with green. Here, plaid cot
ton gabardine is combined with
plain in a pretty shade of tan,
the plaid showing tans and
brown with lines of brighter
color, and a suit of such weight
is ideal for midsummer wear.
For the medium size the coat
will require, 3Z yards of ma
terial a. inches wide, 312 yards
81 and the skirt, eIs yards of
either width with $s yard for
the cuff at the lower edge.
The coat pattern No. o463 is
cut in sizes from "a to AZ inches
bust measure and the skirt pat
tern No. o433 in sizes from a4
to 81 inches waist measure.
They will be mailed to any ad-
dress by the Fashion Depart
ment of this paper on receipt OF
fifteen cents for each.

to the side of wee Pierre and old

to the side of wee Pierre and old
Nannette.
And after that first day there were
many hours that the Capitaine the
Count de Lasselles spent with little
Pierre and the good Nannette as she
sat knitting always with the sun on
the water reddening her round
with many friends who came to me
upon the ship.
Upon The arrival of the ship in
port a rain was falling, and my
friend of France was gone from me
az the beginning of day in a boat
that is called tug. Upon Nannette
had fallen a rheumatism, and the
small Piere was in the midst of shiv-
ering chills when we at last were
permitted by the very unpleasant
officer of America to go from the
ship.
"Helas, it was all of the gold that
he took from me for an entry into
this savage land, where one piece of
money is as FIVE of that of France.
There remains buta few sous and a
gold piece" sobbed Nannette as she
came from her interview with the
immigration office, while l stood be-
side Pierre, deposited by a deck
steward on a pile of our steamer
blankets.
Il beg your pardon, ,marquise, but
her is litter the dock steward fail
ed to find you to deliver" came in
the pleasant voice of one of my
fellow passengers as he handed me
a large letter. 1 took it and came
with my head out from under the
wave which had dashed over me.
And this is the letetr that my epes
read with astonihsment, while both
the good Nannette and small shiv-
ering Pierre sat with their eyes fix
ed upon my countenance:
My Dear Nephew Robert-Your
arrival in America at this time suits
me exactly. 1 need you Immediately
in my business. If you had been the
girl, instead of the little one 1 would
have had to dispose >of you some
way-even murder. 1 have no use

girl and her nurse. who l feel sure

you?"
This solicitude was very sweet to
Helen. and she responded gaily:
Not a bit, but it's damp in here.
Have you been home long, dear?
You oughtn't to be sitting in this
damp room"
Before Warren knew what was
happening, Helen had lighted the
gas logs and had drawn his chair
up to their CHEEKY warmth.

called out to Winifred. mother will

Warren watched her as she fitted
about the room. She pulled the
shades down, shutting out the dreary
rain, she Strengthened something

She pulled his ash tray near him,
and then finally fitted off to her
room. leaving behind her that at
mosphere so unmistakable to a man
accustomed to a home.
The room was just exactly the
same. and yet it was not the same.
1t looked livable.
"Gee!" Warren muttered to him
self, IT wouldn't have believed it."
And he settled down in his chair be-
fore the CHEEKY logs and picked up
the evening papers with renewed
vigor.
Helen came back in few minutes
and looked at Warren a moment
Warren, does 1t hurt you to swal-

closely.
