Katherine herself was vastly re-

answer to Bob's question. She would

The stare of those wondering baby
eyes stirred some fear, perhaps, in
the soul of the woman 1 suspected Of
being the mother. She turned abrupt

"Oh come on! Come on!" was Miss
Miller's gay singsong, and she appro-
priated Bob's arm, leading him off
toward the house.

I had come to believe that the half
hour before luncheon which Bob
spent with the baby and me had
meant a great deal to him. I had
fancied that he. too. felt the strange
attraction between us which I could
not resist.
But as soon as his visits ceased to

of a plan. Bob stopped coming to the

When a girl who is in love begins to
reason about the conduct of her
lover, she can be relied upon to rea-
son wrongly! A bride goes even fur
ther astray! A matron goes the limit!
1 reasoned that Bob didn't want to
let Katherine find him talking to me
regularly! Probably the truth was
that Bob didn't want to meet Kathe-
rine, but my jealousy wouldn't let me
dwell on hat possibility
Bob had abandoned me! What
was worse, little Babs missed her big
playfellow. Morning after morning
she asked where he was.
I had to double my efforts to amuse
her. In the care of her, I discovered
a joy I had missed for months. So
we sent her nurse away for a vaca-
ton, and I assumed sole charge of
the child. No real mother was ever
more devoted. My service was gladly
given; nevertheless, an evil chance
seized 1t and made of it a net to trap
me.

Silversand Lake. Thursday.

SllVerSand Lake, Thursday.
My earle Joan:
1 have vour blessed letter, But,
honey. 1 Ioht think you understand
about this John Heron person. He
Is the most business-saturated man
you ever laid eyes on. He has no
more temperament than a croquet
ball. I have described him to you, so
you realize he is not fascinating. He
Is well past thirty-f1ve, a hard-boiled
bachelor who lives at his club when
he lives anywhere outside this won
derful private car of his.
AS for the Improperly of my hav-
Ing n of the staterooms in the pri-
vate, why is 1t any more awkward
than living in the same hotel as your
employer? Remember there is a
valet and a Japanese butler always
on the premises. Remember, too
(though l wish 1 could forget it) that
I am not seventeen, but twenty-seven,
n quite able to take care of my
self.
This idea that every theatrical
manager and every business man is
a wild beast Dent on devouring the
lambs in his employ is nine-tenths
utter nonsense. You say that 1 am
too good looking and attractive" to
make it safe.
Well, 1 haven't been troubled in
the past by any pursuing capitalists!
For years no one has noticed me
but a few flatfooted shipping clerks,
and a bookkeeper or two. 1t is only
since 1 came on this summe holiday,
armored with glad clothes and a con-
fident hammer that any eligible men
have come my way. And no great
fighting mob of them at that!
Also you say, dear. that Randy
Lewis knows John Heron, that he
haa had hr1CfnaCo Iaa - on nth hi~a
and will continue to have, and that
Heron is known by the nickname of
"On-the-Job-Jack' because of his
speed in making up his mind and
acting. And because he never fails
to get whatever he goes after"

MORE FATAL THAN

Soldier Writes That Inconsistencies Has
Caused More Deaths Than
Bullets and Sickness.

1T is no exaggeration to say that
more men have died here from home
sickness, that word from home
would dispe1, than from bullets and
disease is a statement contained in
a letter from a New Britain soldier
to his father received today. The SOL
der urges those who have sons or
friends in the army to write, and keep
writing. His letter, in part, follows:
IF the people in the States could
only realize the crying need of letters
to the boys here, they would devote
a little more of their time along that
line. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
letters are the most desired thing on
the face Of the earth. It is no exag-
geratiOn to say that more men have
died here from hom sickness that a
word from home would dispel, than
from bullets and disease. It's the
thought that nobody cares a damn
that has taken the desire to get up
again from many a stricken one. I'm
not referring to myself You people
have done we'll by me and although

of it, and I know. That Is the suffer-
ing that hurts, and the pity of it is
that it is so unnecessary. Here is a
boy across from me opening some
mai1-Christmas cards. Better than
nothing, of course, but he's thousands
of miles from home. Doesn't that get
