sageIy. "Jack Barrow was Just plain
crazy Jealous. and man like that
can't help acting ms he did You're
really fortunate, l think, because you'd
not be really happy with man like
that. But the girls that you and I
grew up with-they should have stood
by YOU, knowing you rs they did; yet
YOU see they were ready TO think the
worst of you. They nearly always do
when there's man in the case. That's
a weakness of our sex, dear. Well,
YOU aren't working. Come and stay
with me. Hubby's got two-year con-
tract with the World Advertising com
pany. Wen be located here that long

"Oh, no, couldn't think of that,
Kitty" Hazel faltered. you know
I'd love to, and it's nwfully good of
you, but l think I'm just about ready
to go away from Granville
"Well come and stop with us till
you do 60" Kitty insisted. I'VE are
going to take furnished cottage for
while. Though. between You and me,
dear. knowing people as I do. l can't
blame you for wanting to be where
their nasty tongues cant wound you"
But Hazel was obdurate. She would
not lnnlct herself on the one friend
she had left. And Kitty, after a short
talk, bcrntcd her afrcCtionately for
her independence and rose to go.

happened on an inquiry for a school
teacher, female preferred, in an out
of-the-wny district In the Interior OF
the province.
"Now, that" Hazel thought.
She had "A second-class certificate
tucked away among her belongings.
Originally it had been her intention TO
teach, and she had done so one term
in backwoods school when she was
eighteen. With the ending of the term
she had returned to Granville, studied
that winter, and got her second GER
tificate; hut at the same time she had
taken business-college course, and
the following June found her clack-
ing typewriter at nine dollars a
week. And her teachers diploma had
remained In the bottom of her trunk
ever since.
Unnccountnbly. since Kitty Brooks
visit. she found herself itching to turn
her back on Granville and its unpleas-
ant associations. She did not attempt
to analyze the feeling. Strange lands,
and most of all, the West. held alluring
promise. One thing was certain:
Granville for all she had been born
there. and grown TO womanhood there,
was now no place for her. The very
people who knew her best would make
her suffer most.
She spent that evening going thor
oughly over the papers and writing
letters to various school boards, taking
chance at one or twos she found in
the Manitoba paper but centering her
hopes on the country west of the
Rockies. Her savings in fhe bank
amounted TO three hundred odd dol
lars. and cash in hand brought the

two weeks.
Very shortly hereafter-almost, It
seemed, by return mail-Hazel got re-

fact that each and every one seemed
bent on securing her services aston
lshed her.
But the reply from Carboo Mead

by turns mastered her, and at day
break she rose. heavy-lidded and phys
ically weary.
The first thing upon which her gaze
alighted was the crumpled photo in Its
shattered frame; and. sitting on the
side Of her bed, she laughed at the
sudden fury in which she had de
stroyed II; but there was no mirth
in her laughter.
She gathered up the bits of broken
glass and the bent frame, and put
them in drawer, dressed herself. and
went down to breakfast. She was too
deeply engrossed in her own troubles
to notice or care whether any subtle
change was becoming manifest in the
attitude OF her fellow boarders. The
worst, she felt sure. had already over
taken her.
She had a little time to spare. and
that time she devoted to making up
a package OF Barrow's ring and few
other trinkets which he had given her.
This she addressed to his office and
posted while on her way to work.
She got through the day somehow.
struggling against thoughts that would
persist In creeping into her mind and
stirring up emotions that she was de-
termined to hold In check. Work. she
knew, was her only salvation.
And so she got through the week.
Saturday evening came, and she went
home, dveadlng Sundays idleness, with
Its memories. The people at Mrs
Stout's establishment, she plainly
saw, were growing a trifie shy of her.
She had never been on terms of inti-
macy with any of them during her stay
there, hence their attitude troubled
little after the first supersensitiveness
wore OF. But her own friends. girls
with whom she had played In the pima
fore-and-pigtall stages of her youth,
young men who had paid court to her
until Jack Barrow monopollzed her
she did not know how they stood. She
had seen none of them since Bush
launched his last bolt. Barrow she
had passed on the street just once, and
when he lifted his hat distantly, she
looked straight ahead. and ignored
him. Whether she hurt him as much
as she did herself by the cut direct
would be hard to say.
When Sunday noon arrived, and the
phone had failed to call her once, and
not one Of all her friends had dropped
In, Hazel twisted her chair so that she
could stare at the Image of herself in
the mirror.
You're in fair way to become a
pariah, It seems" she said bitterly.
what have you done, wonder, that
you've lost your lover, and that Alice
and May and Hortense and all the rest
of them keep away from your Moth
ing-not a thing-except that your
looks attracted a man, and the man
threw stones when he couldn't have
his way. Oh, well, what's the differ
ence? You've got two good hands, and
you're not afraid of work"
She walked out to Granville park
after luncheon, and found n seat on a
shaded bench beside the lake. People
passed and epassed-couples, young
sters, old people, children. 1t made
her lonely beyond measure. She had
never been Isolated among her own
kind before.
A group of young people came saun-
tering along the path. Hazel looked
up as they neared her, chattering to
each other. Maud Steele and Bud

as they came abreast, not over ten feet

mailed to her. She tore up the letter

some poisonous thing. The idea of

the whole miserable tale into some

such ear. Her friends kept nwny.
Saturday of the second week her

that the firm no longer required her
services. There was no explanation,
only perfunctory regrets: and, truth
to tell. Hazel cared little to know the
real cause. ANY one Of a number OF
reasons might have been sufficient.
But she realized how those who knew
her would take it, what cause they
would ascribe. II did not matter

could not be so bad ms what had al

her thinking again.
She stopped at a news stand and
bought the evening papers. Up in the
top rack of the stand the big heads of
nm assorted lot OF Western papers
caught her eye. She bought two or
three on the impulse of the moment.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-The
German drive has awakened the
west to a realization of the serious
ness of the war, said r. p. 0'Connor,
noted Irish journalist and member
OF the British parliament yesterday.
He spoke before the Burlingame
Country Club
"lt was especially gratifying to me
to see the universal interest shown
throughout the west in the story of
the battle" Mr.. OConnor said. "Grat-
flying also was the undisguised anxi.
ETY. of the people that the allied
forces should win.
"a have not the smallest fear that
the Germans will produce decision,
for a decision means the wholesale
destruction by death and surrender,
of great portion, If not the whole,
OF an army, such as occurred for in
stance at Sedan.
