He knew the peasants answer to
the wish and gave it. And you,
too"
The girl left the prison with
mist in her eyes. Her cousin looked
at her with n queer, ironic little
smile of affection. To be in trouble
was a sure passport to the sympathy
of Sheba. Now both her lovers were
in sad way. Diane wondered
which of them would gain most from
this new twist of fate.
Selfridge had been shocked at the
sight of Macdonald. The terrible
beating and the loss of blood had
sapped all the splendid, vital
strength of the Scotsman. His bat
tered head was swathed in bandages.
but the white face was bruised and
disfigured. The wounded man was
weak as a kitten; only the steady
eyes told that he was still strong
and unconquered,
II want TO talk business for a
minute, Miss Sedgwick. Will you
please step out?" said Macdonald
to his nurse.
She hesitated. THE doctor
says"
DO as I say, please"
The nurse left them alone. Wally
told the story of the evidence against
Elliot in four sentences. His chief
caught the point at once.
After Selfridge had gone. the
wounded man lay silent thinking
out his program. Not for a moment
did he doubt that he was going 10
live, and his brain was already busy
planning for the future. lie knew
now that in the violence of his anger
against Elliot he had made y mis-
take. To have killed his rival would
have been fatal to the Kamatlah
coal claims. would have alienated his
best friends, and would have preiu-
diced hopelessly his chances with
Sheba. Fate had been kind to him.
He had been in the wrong and il
had put him in the right. BY the
same cut of the cards young Elliot
had been thrust down from an I'M
pregnable position to one in which
he was a discredited suspect. With
all this evidence to show that he
had conspired against Macdonald,
his report to the department would
be labor lost.

you do not know her and were not
invited. naturally you will not ac-
company him; but for him to stay
away would be absurd.

She tapped the floor with her
dancing slipper and laughed lightly.
Then, as she saw his disappointed
face, she went still further with
what she was saying.
Really, there is no need of look
ing so angry about it. I'm sorry
but l door l did" and he
stopped.
And now you no longer think
am worth WHILE
Yes, l do think you're worth
while. l am sure of it; that's why
can't believe you're so callous."
But what would you have me do?
Carry around pals of soup to the
poor. and knit on that old gray wool
how absurd it all is. Let the old
women do it, and leave the pleas
anter things in the world to the
younger women"
But" he protested, cant you
see that it's not so much the fact
of your doing it as it is your feel
ing as you do about it?'
Refuses to Pretend
NO. | can't see it that way at all.
| think it better to be frank about
it than to pretend something one
doesn't feel"
He was helpless in her grasp, and
man-like he foundered. When she
repeated what he said, it somehow
sounded different. Even now. after
she had said all manner of things.
she made him feel more like a con-
founded prig than anything else.
| Her last remark was so true that
/ 1t was absurd to argue against it,
/ but he had not expected that she
would answer it that way.
He looked across at her, marching
the lovely frivolous gown, the slen-
der arms and hands, the dark gypsy
face, with its crown of red-brown
hair. Finally he stammered miser-
ably. "Shall we change the subject?
We don't seem to be getting any
where"
She turned toward him. But"
she protested. II don't like to leave
to make an effort to vindicate my
self"
You're probably right about it
ALL he answered.
But that wasn't what she wanted
at all. "Oh, | may not be right"
she said airily, but I'm frank about
it. I'll start a sweater for myself if
| must knit to please you. You see,

color then"

Let's stop talking about it.

1T does. and that's just what hurts
most"
But why?" she said wonderingly.
why should you take it so per-
sonally?" Innocently as the words
were spoken, her willy little heart

was not so innocent. She had been
leading up to this very point, and
she tremblingly launched her arrow
would land.
Because I care for you; you
know that. oh, Pat, care so much,
L just can't bear to have you mock
and make fun of things that mean
so much and are so very important"
Pats heart was beating fast
under the soft blue frock. She
knew little place where they
could be quite alone to finish their
conversation. She would inveigle
him in there and confess to him
that she had lied about it all. That
she had never thought any of the
things she had boasted of, and that
she had done it all to hurt him be-
cause he had never come to the
point. and she had thought he didn' t
care.
Tony" she said. leaning forward
all the light mocking laughter gone
from her voice, let's go into the
conservatory a moment; l want to
tell you something"
He rose eagerly, but before they
could escape two laughing girls
bore down on them.
Cat Out of the Bag
"Oh. here you are! Say, Pat, have
I,
have two more outfits for you.
Shes wonder Mr.. Hunt. She has
knitted four outfits this. month. and
she takes charge of the entire thing
herself, besides"
Tony almost gasped, and Pat,
trying to silence the girls, stood for
the first time in her life utterly at
loss as TO what to do next. She
wanted to tell the girls to go away.
! She wanted to shout, You've
spoiled it ALL" She wanted to take
Tony by the arm and get him away
somewhere, anywhere at all, if they
could be alone and she could make
her confession. He would never
well, and he was too strict in his
ideas. He would never tolerate a
girl who lied. and besides he would
never take the initiative. He was
notably shy with women.
But as Pat looked up furtively
she faced a very different looking
Tony. This Tony was grinning, and
he did not look at all afraid. In
stead he grasped Pat by the arm
and said commandments:
Il want to talk to you, young
lady. You deserve a good spank
ing, but 1 may decide to spare you
at that. She's been misbehaving
herself" he said to the laughing
girls, no trace of embarrassment
visible in his manner.
Pat looked at him in amaze
ment. and thrilled as he bore her
off. She had been terribly in love
with Tony before he adopted these
high-handed methods, but he was
more fascinating than ever this
way.

For Women Who Worry

Worry and "the blues" are usual

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

So many children wear short
sleeves in the house throughout
the entire year that this frock
just as it stands will meet
almost every need, but the pat
tern includes long sleeves if you
prefer them, also you can make
the skirt without the little
frilled heading at the top if you
want a palmer effect. You can
cut the neck square and omit
the collar, too. Any simple,
childlike material that can be
shirred successfully is appro-
pirate. Taffeta makes a very
dressy little frock and challis
and cashmere and wool materials
of the sort make pretty and SER
viceable ones. Many of the new
challis are exceedingly beautiful
in color and in design and emil
nently childlike. The material

as linen so that it is practical
and serviceable as well.

Advice to the Lovelorn
Be Kind to Her
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: ..
\ few months ago l married a
man who is very much attached to
his mother. She is living with us;
but our home is not as peaceful as
I would like, for we are very jealous
of each other. We had few words
lately, and she told me l could do
as / pleased, but she would stay
with her son. l am not happy and
have often thought of leaving them,
but my people object to that. l try
to be agreeable, but it hurts me to
see that she always has the first
place in my husbands thoughts. and
she is so jealous that she hates to
see him kiss me, so that he never
fondles me any more when she is
present. Could you please advise
me? She has, other children with
whom she could stay, but she doesn't
get along with them and loves my
husband most. A. p. S.
So your husbands widowed moth

earth. Now, my dear, are you going
to be so selfish that you Will try to
take from an old woman the love
that means more to her than any
