not linger-we must come at once out OF
this place. IL cannot bear it any more
And so they went-into pathway lined
with close, cropped trees, where the gloom
was almost twilight; but If there was pain,
there was joy, too, and almost peace I'M
their hearts. All the anguish was for the
sfterward. Love, who is a god, was tool
near to his kingdom to admit Of any rival.
Hector" she whispered, and as she said
his name a wild thrill ran through him
again. "Hector-the Austrian Prince at
Armenonville said life was a current down
which our barks hoated, only to be broken
up on the rocks If it was our fate; and
said II we tried very hard some angel
would steer us past them into smooth
waters beyond; and want you to help me
to find the angel, dear-will your"
But all he could say was that she was the
angel. the only angel in heaven or earth.
And so they came at last to the Bason
de Neptune, and on through the side door
into the Reservoirs-and there was the
widows automobile that moment arrived.

over her being there thrilled mad, wild
joy. It surged up and crushed out fear
and. pain-for just one moment-and then
she too, in her turn, covered her face
with her hands.
"Oh, hush, hush!" she said. What
have you done-whst have We both done!"
1t was characteristic of her that now
she realized she loved him she did not
. fence any longer, she never thought OF
concealing it from him or of blaming him.
They we're sinners both, he and she equally
guilty.
Another woman might have argued,
He is fooling me; perhaps he has said
these things before-I must at least hide
my own heart" but not Theodore. Her
trust was complete loved him
therefore he was a perfect knight-and
If he was wicked she was wicked too.
Her gentian eyes we're full of tears as
she let fall her hands and looked at him.
"Oh, yes, have been asleep-I should

Again she decided the situation for
every one. and again fate laughed. There
was no use staying any longer at Yer
sailles. because the park gates were shut
and they could not stroll in the moon
light, but a drive back and few turns in
the Bois with little supper at the Madrid
would be fitting ending to the day.
You must meet US at the Madrid at

said Theodore, ito get all the beautiful
air-it is such a lovely night"
Her heart was beating as it had never
beat before. How could she control her
self! How keep calm and ordinary during
the enchanting drive! Her hands were
cold as ice, while flaming roses burned in
the white velvet cheeks.
And Hector saw II all and understood,
and passion surged madly in his veins.
For a mile or two there was silence-only
the moonlight and the swift rushing
through the air, and the wild beating of
their hearts. And so they came to the
long, dark stretch of wood by ST. Cloud.
And the devil whispered sophistries and
fate continued to laugh. Then passion
was too strong for him.

tions fed to the winds, while his deep
voice was hoarse and broken. MY darl-

All through dinner a certain strange ex-
citement dominated Theodore. She felt
there would be more deep emotion yet to
come for her before the day should close
How were they going back to Paris?
The moon had risen pure and full, she
could see 1t through the windows. The
night was soft and warm, and when the
last sips Of coffee and liqleurs were
finished It was still only nine O'Clock.
On an occasion when no personal excite
ment was stirring Captain Fitzgerald he
probably would have hesitated about ap-
proving Of TheodorE spending the entire
evening alone with Lord Bracondale.
She was married, It was true,
but to Josiah Brown-and Dominic Fftz-
gerald knew his world. Tonight, however.
neither the widow nor he had outside
thoughts beyond themselves. Indeed, Mrs.
Mcbride was so overlooking with joy she
had almost feeling of satisfaction In the
knowledge that the others would possibly
be happy, too-when she thought Of them
at all!
The Washington times., 1918-07-07

- VERY one behaved with immense
propriety-they said just what they
should have said. And when they
went up the stairs together to arrange
their hair and their hats for dinner, the
elder woman slipped her arm through
Theodora's.
81 am going to marry your father. my
dear" she said, land l want you to be the
first to wish me joy"
The dinner went of with great gayety.
The widow especially was full OF bright
sayings. and Captain Fitzgerald made the
good-fortune, and yet thoroughly happy
and tender. He continually told himself
that fate had been uncommonly kind to
mix business and pleasure so deXterously,
for II the widow had not possessed a cent,
he still would have been glad to marry her.
He had been quite honest with her on
their drive. explaining his financial situa-
tion and his disadvantages, which he said
could only be slightly balanced by his de-
votion and affection-but of those he would
lay the whole at her feet. And the widow
had said:
Now look here. am old enough Just to
know what my money is worth-and II you
like to put 1t as a business speculation for
me, I consider. in buying the companion
for the rest of my life who happens to suit
me, am laying out the sum to my own
advantage."t
After that there was no more to be said,
and he had spent his time making love to
her like any Romeo Of twenty, and both
were content.

And then it was his turn to be exalted
with wild joy.

whispered, breathless. Your words mean
that you love me-Theodora-da darling
mine" And once again passion blaZed in
his eyes, and he would have taken her in
his arms; but she put up her hands and
gently pushed him from her.

go our different ways. You who are so

impossible. How can we part-what will

She looked at him, and her eyes were the
eyes of a wounded thing-dumb and pitt
full, and asking for help.
Then the something that was fine and
noble in Hector Bracondale rose up in him
the crust of selfishness and cynicism fell
from him like a mask. He suddenly saw
himself as he was, and she-as she was
and a determination came over him to grow
worthy Of her love, obey her slightest

EkTUTHAT have done! What have
w ! done?" Hector groaned to
himself in anguish as he paced
up and down his room at the Ritz an hour
after the party had broken up. and he had
driven Mrs. Mcbride back in his automo-
bile, leaving hers to father and daughter.
All through supper Theodore had sat
limp and white as death, and every time
she had looked at him her eyes had re-
minded him Of a fswn he had wounded
once at Bracondale, in the park, with his
bow and arrow, when he was little boy.
He remembered how fearfully proud he
had been as he saw it fall, and then how
it had lain in his arms and bled and bled.
and its tender eyes had gazed at him in
no reproach, only sorrow and pain, and
dumb asking why he had hurt It.
All the light of the stars seemed
Quenched, no eyes in the world had ever
looked so unutterably pathetic as Theo-
dora's eyes, and gradually as they sat
and talked platitudes and ehaffed
with the elderly fiancees, It had come
to him how cruel he had been-he who
had deliberately used every art to make
her love him-and how, having gained his
end, what could he do for her? What for
himself? Nothing but sorrow faced them
both. He had taken brutal advantage OF
her gentleness and innocence-when
chivalry alone should have made him re-
frain.

Revival Services.

An effort was made to have union
evangelistic services in Butler run
ming through the entire month OF
August, held in tent or tabernacle.
The ministers thought they had a
team engaged. but there was slip
somewhere and the plan miscarricd.
lnasmuch as August was unusually
hot and dry, perhaps it is. just as well
it did. But the feeling continued that
Butler needs protracted meeting,
and genuine revival. SO the
"Vawter Evangelistic Company" of
Kansas City has been engaged and
the meeting will begin September
18th in the Christian church. Should
this prove to be too small larger
quarters will be provided. a relig-
ious census OF Butler will be taken in
a few days. Next week member of
the company will come, few days
ahead of the rest, to look after Ger
tain preliminary work. The weather
bids fair to be ideal The Vawters
have been very>successful in their
work, and come to us with the best
and strongest OF recommendations.
1t is sincerely hoped that the entire
community will unite i'll making this
a great meeting.

The Fourth Liberty Loan.

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan begins September IS ans
closes October 70. While the amount
has not yet been announced. it Is
generally conceded it will be ior t.
larger amount than any OF the pre-
ceding loans. The American people
therefore, are called upon to raise a
larger sum of money in a shorter
length of time than ever before
There is need, therefore, for promp,
action-prompt and efficient work
and prompt and liberal subscrip-
tons.
We have a great inspiration for a
great effort. The news from the bat
tie front inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and patri-
otism but with a great incentive to
do his or her part. There is no shirk.
ing, no shifting of the individual bur-
den, no seifishness by American SOL
diers in France; there should be none
here. We are both supporting the
same country and the same cause
our Army in one way, ourselves in
another. Theirs is the hardest part.
but at least we can do our part as
promptly and loyalty and efficiently
as they do theirs.

DON'T JOY RIDE ON SUNDAY
Garfield Announces Reasonable Use
of Vehicles on Sunday il Not
Barred.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 3o.-The
ban on the use of gasoline on Sun
days for motor vehicles and boats
will apply only to pleasure riding,
Fuel Administrator Garfield an
nounced today. He said reasonable
use of gasoline-driven vehicles for
necessary purposes was not intended
to be prohibited;
"The request made by the fuel ad-
ministration," said statement issued
at the administration, "that pleasure
riding be discontinued on Sundays
for the present in order to conserve
our supply of gasoline for war needs
was not intended to prohibit reason
able use of gasoline driven vehicles
as q means of necessary transporta'
ton where no other means are avail
able.
"Nr. Garfield believes that the pub-
lie will construe the request wisely
and intelligently, and win not use
their automobiles for other than the
most necessary purposes.
