cent" he said, gravely, "but-it's the innocent thing that gets caught"
 The girl had broken into violent tears. "Whatever shall I do? What can I do?" she moaned. "Oh, why didn't somebody tell me? What can do?"
 He let her passion run on for few minutes, and then he sought, as gently as he could, to win her back to some composure. "Some one has told you, " he said-"in time. You don't have to go. Don't be afraid of anything Con- ward may do. I will settle this score with him."
 She controlled herself, but when she spoke again her voice had fear and shame in it. TT hate to tell you, MT. Elden, but I must tell you'll took-I let him give me some money to buy things. He said maybe I was short of money and I would want to buy some new clothes-and he would pay me extra, in advance-and he gave me fifty dollars-and-and-Tve spent it p
 Elden swung on his heel and paced the length of the office in quick, sharp strides. When he returned to where Miss Wardin stood, wrapped about in her misery, his fists were clenched and the veins stood out on the back of his hands.
 "Scoundrel he muttered. "Scoun- drel! And I have been tied to him. I have let him bind me; have let him set the standards. We'll, now I know him." There was a menace in his last words that frightened even Gladys Wardin, we'll though she knew the menace was not to her, but ranged in her defense.
 "Here," he said, taking some bills from his pocket. "You must tell him you can't go-tell him you won't go; you must return his money. I will lend you wha. you need. Don't be afraid. I will go with you"
 "But I can't take your money. either, MT. Elden," she protested. ~ can't stay here any longer. will have no job and l. can't pay you back. You see I can't take it, even from you. What a fool I was! For few clothes"

 She shook her head. "No, can't. ] can't I can't work anywhere near him."
 "You won't need to. The firm of Conward & Elden will be dissolved at once. I have always felt that there was something false in Conward- something that wouldn't stand test. Now I know"
 There was a sound of 8 key in the street door, and Conward entered,

 But I must earn a living," Irene protested.
 "Ever contemplate marriage?" said Miss Morrison, with disconcerting frankness.
 The color rose in Trene's cheeks, but she knew that her friend was discuss ing a serious matter seriously. "Why, yes" she admitted, "I have contem- plated it; in fact I am contemplating it.

CHAPTER XI.

Conward paused as he entered the room. He had evidently not expected to find Elden there, but after a mo- ment of hesitation he nodded cordially to his partner.
 Almost ready, Miss Wardin" he asked, cheerily. "Our train goes in" He took his watch from his pocket and consulted it.
 Dave's eyes were fixed on the girl. He wondered whether, in this testing moment, she would fight for herself OF lean weakly on him as her protector. Her answer reassured him.
 Tt makes no difference when it goes, MT. Conward. I'm not going on it." Her voice trembled nervously, but there was no weakness in it. The money which Dave had given her was still crumpled in her hand. She ad- vanced to where Conward stood vague lH trying to sense the situation, and held the bills before him. Here Is your money, MT. Conward," she said.
 "Why, what does this meanT
 Here Is your money. Will you take it, please?"
 "No, I won't take 1t until you ex- plain"
 She opened her fingers and the bills fell to the floor. "All right" she said.
 Conward's eyes had shifted to Dave. You are at the bottom of this, Elden," he said. "What does 1t meanY
 'It means, Conward," Dave an- swered, and there was steel in his voice-"it means that after all these years I have discovered what a cur you are-just In time to balk you, at least in this instance" Conward flushed, but he maintained an attitude of composure. "You'vs been drinking, Dave" he said. '1 meant no harm to Miss Wardin."
 Don't make me call you a liar as we'll as cur"
 The word cut through Conward's mask of composure. "Now by God! won't take that from any man l" he shouted. and with swing of his arms threw his coat over his shoulders. Dave made no motion, and Conward slowly brought his coat back to posi- tion.
 'T was right" said Dave, calmly. 'T knew you wouldn't fight. You think more of your skin than you do of your honor. WeI1-it's better worth pr0tec-

 So Irene's little studio-room began to take on a practical purpose. It was work which called for form and pro- portion rather than color, and In these Irene excelled. She soon found her self with as much as she could do, in addition to the duties of the house- hold, as maids were luxuries which could no longer be afforded and her mother seemed unable to realize that they were not still living in the affiu- ence of Doctor Hardy's income. To Irene, therefore, fell the work of tho house, as we'll as its support.

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAV0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-JuSt Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms OF their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tObaccoS employ some
fiavoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of fiav0rings used. and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity Of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged. old Buriey tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate. gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

Aunt Grace bought Peter a bird
book and he spent most of his time
looking for bird nests. He found the
hooking birds nest in the summer
house and the blue birds nest in the
knot hole in the big gate post.
There was wren's nest in box on
the porch and song sparrow had a
nest just inside the pasture fence.
Peter found little yellow bird making
love to a bright red and brown one,
He found in his bird book that they
were orchard orioles.
He came tearing in the house ono
day, Aunt Grace, come quick, there's
a great big brown and red bird in the
orchard. can't find him in my book
at all. Do come quick before he flies
away. l couldn't see him good"
So Aunt Grace stopped her bread

Peter. Sure enough high UP in tho

but he flew to the ground as Peter ana
Aunt Grace came up. Aunt Grace
