EVERETT HEARS OF THE ACCI-
DENT AND ROBBERY.
CHAPTER LXVII.

Once in the house. Everetts man

calculating. fault-finding husband to
whom 1 had not yet become accus-
toned. These sudden changes in him
bewildered and yet interested me-
Now tell me all that has hap
pencd since I left
"Oh, Everett. it has been terrible!"
Terrible? Well, suppose you begin
at the very beginning and tell me
what has been so terrible He evil
IDENTIFY had not seen the evening pa
pers which contained an account of
the robbery.
'Oh. the accident, the burglar and
everythins!"
THE burglar,'' -
"Oh. it was terrible, really
thought 1 would die of fright" Then
I went on and told him as plainly as
l could what had happened. Mrs.
Gray had had a delicious supper left
for us on the dining room table, and
while he ate talked.
He made no comment. scarcely
spoke until 1 mentioned the railroad
ticket in my purse.
How did you come to have a ticket
to New York in your bag2"
"Why-tI-I thought after telling
me I might go. it was unfair of you
to say I couldn't. 80 1 hurried down
to the station. bought a ticket, hoping
would see you and that you would
let me go" / added the last meelly
enough, because of the frown on his
face.
You mean to tell me that after I
called you up and told you you could
not go, you deliberately went down to
the station and bought a ticket, in
tending to force yourself upon me-"
What an awful way to put it, J
exclaimed. II was so disappointed, l
thought perhaps if talked with you
it might change your mind. I knew the
time was short, so 1 bought my
ticket"
And so by disobeying me you as
sisted a burglar"
THAT isn't fair!" j returned with
some show of spirit. please be far,
Everett. One would think I knew the
burglar to hear you talk 1t was ter
rible-even Mrs. Gray said l might
have been shot instead of James, as it

Never mind the sapphires-you
are SAFE and before 1 knew what
he intended. he had once more swept
me- into his arms. and was covering
my face with kisses.
But after a moment he put me away
and made me go over each moment OF
time, every slightest incident. When
l told him that Mr.. Kemp was going
to call and inquire after me-whether
I had suffered any bad effects from
the accident on not. he returned:
You will not receive Mr.. Kemp
when he comes. Mrs. Gray can con-
vey your thanks for anything he may
have done for you. 1 will also sec
him and thank him.
But why should I not receive
him?"
s\"Because I do not wish you to.
Isn't that sufficient"

Everett was absolutely CHASTITY when

TT will be enough for you. Here

you. why have you disregarded my
wishes about the way you wear your
hair?"

Each applicant for examination at
the center is advised to- take advant-

There is a gymnasium at the center
itself where special attention is given
to corrective exercises for each indi-
vidual, and where games of basket
ball and volley ball take place every
afternoon. In addition to this. early
morning exercises are prescribed for
every girl whose health is not up to
par, with explicit instructions as to
all the details. One girl who is a fac
tory worker and who lives in a four
room tenement flat. shared by eight
other people, was at a loss as to how
she was to carry out all the directions.
SO one of the doctors sat down and
worked out a plan with her.

woman. While one of your sisters is

Never mind. when you once get the
habit you won't be ahle to get along

The center, which was established
just couple of months ago. is already
proving a great success. Some of the
girls have gained in weight, and all of

Tact.

People who are rough and blunt
spoken always accuse those who are
suave and tactful of hypocrisy and in
sincerity. They affect to believe that
there is some peculiar merit in tramp
ling roughshod over the sensibiIities
OF others, and to believe that diplo-
macy is invariably the work of the
devil.
This is nothing but envy. 1t is the
tribute that uncouthness pays to grace
and charm, for there Is not one of u.s.
who in his secret soul, does not yearn
to have the grand manner and a glib
tongue.
Nobody honestly believes that dis
agreeable people are any better than
pleasant ones, or taft the individual
who invariably rifles you every time
you meet him or her, is OF superior
character to the man or woman whc
always strokes your fur the right way,
and yet we have insisted so much
upon sincerity and truth telling being
the accompaniment to being flayed
alive, that many misguided folk feel
that in order to be genuine they must
be brutal.
The other day I heard a young girl
discussing this subject with an elderly
woman. greatly beloved, and who is
noted for her charm of manner. and
for always saying just the right thing
