resentment at the way the inspectors
had roughly turned over and pulled
gerie. that she had packed with such
care, had not escaped their ruthless
inspection.
Secretly. Helen had no respect for a
law that allowed strange men to go
through ones most intimate posses
sions. And Ike almost every other
woman, she would have evaded or
tricked the law If she could. To her
it seemed an outrage that you could
not bring home few things for your
self and friends without being sub
jected to this indignity.
But Warren did not share these
views. The customs were for the sup
port of the country and he had a
mans respect for the law. So he had
insisted on her making an accurate
list of every article she had bought.
And now that there was s25.so duty to
pay she was fiercely indignant.
All over the dock trunks and bags
were being opened and subjected to
the same inspection. Under the next
letter, 3D. a woman was excitedly
arguing with one of the officers about
some lace. And further down, under
&C." Mrs. Gorham, whose stateroom
had adjoined hers, was almost crying
over some evening gown which she
had evidently undervalued.
Warren's Maxim.
Warren came UP now with a porter,
who put their baggage on a truck
wheeled it down the dock and loaded
it on a cab. Mr.. and Mrs. walters
who had sat at their table, were get
ting into taxi just ahead. 1t Is cur
fous how close one feels to fellow
travellers on board ship and how as
soon as they land they become almost
strangers again. And now, as Helen
bowed and smiled an Indifferent good
by to the Walters, she realized how
transient such friendships are.
We'll, we got through that pretty
easy" commented Warren as they
drove off. 1.-The best way is to de-
clare everything. Show 'em you're
square and you won't have any kind
of trouble"
But, Warren, I thought those men
were horrid-the way they dragged
everything out. And they insisted l
had bought that dress over there, just
because it had a Paris LABEL"
"Oh, we'll, they have so many crook
ed women to deal with they're very
careful. Women are always smuggling
things in. They're a lot worse than
men,"
But can never see why you should
not be allowed to bring in what you
want for your own use" declared
Helen.
"Of course you can't. You women
are all alike-there's not one of you
that wouldn't smuggle If you got the
chance"
Helen flushed and adroitly changed
the subject.
"Oh, dear. do you realize we'll be
home in just a few minutes! Look.
don't the streets seem strange? Oh,
feel we've been away for years"
The cab stopped at crowded cross
ing and Warren beckoned to a news
boy on the corner.
Lets see what the papers look
like" as he opened one and threw an
other into Helens lap.
She glanced over the headings OF the
various graft and scandal cases that
had developed since they left. There
is nothing that so emphasizes a few
months absence as the unfamiliar
names in the newspaper headings.
Warren had turned to the stock re-
ports.

well but Mrs. Curtis had insisted that

"Yes, know, but nothing looks

At last they drew up. Helen jump

her heart abeat. There was a new

Della had evidently been watching
and had seen them drive up. for she
was standing at their door when they
left the elevator.
"Oh, Della, / was so afraid you would
not get my letter in time" was Helen's
first greeting.
"Oh. yes, ma'am, IL came Thursday.
I got here yesterday morning.
Helen was gazing around the sitting
room. How unfamiliary familiar it
looked. Then she went from one room
to another. Everything was just the
same and yet curiously different.
Warren was looking over the pile
