her subjected to your-your atten-

by Well, I've warned you. Good
day!"
Bayard Joined Leila in the vestibule
and they went up in the elevator to-
gether. She waited till they were in
their own apartment before she de-
manded an account of the converse
ton.
He told her in a rage and she flew
into another. She divided her wrath
between Bayard and Daphne. There
was enough for both. Daphne tried
to escape, but. being cornered, pro-
ceeded to fight back, whereupon Leila
denounced her to Bayard and told OF
her ride with Duane.
1t was a right good fight and getting
well beyond the bounds of discretion
when the telephone announced that
Clay Wimburn was calling.
Nobody imaginable would have been
welcome in that battlefield, but Clay
seemed peculiarly I'll timed. Bayard
went to the telephone and called
down:
"Tell him we're out"
eyes, sir"
Evidently the telephone vas taken
from the hallman's hand, for Clay's
voice roared in Bayard's ear
81 hear you, you old villain. / know
you're in, and I'm coming up. It's a
matter Of life and death. I'm on my
way up now"
1t seemed decenter that Leila and
Daphne should disappear, since Bay
ard had said that they were all out.
The women retreated to Leila's room
as a good coign of addition.

coLoGNE's UPS AND DOWNS
Importsnt German City of the Present
Has Had Its Periods of Dire
Adversely.

During the Middle Ages Cologne
was a place of great trade; the weav-
ers, the goldsmiths, and the armorers
of the city were famous the world
over while its merchants had houses
iE London. and the city itself was ac-
ccraed a chief place in the Hanseatic
league. Decay set in with the dawn of
the Reformation, and the place owed
it's Downfall to its intolerance. Thus.
its university, which in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had a great
reputation, began at once to decline.
This policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity of the town, and when,
in 1854, Cologne vas occupied by the
French, it was a poor and decayed
city Of some 10000 inhabitants, of
which only 5000 possessed civil rights.
Since 1915, however, when it was
finally assigned to Prussia, Cologne
has continued to prosper, until to-
day it is one of the most important
cities of Germany, with a population
Of nearly half a million.

Daphne and Leila went out to the
kitchen, set the dishes in the pan,
and the pan under the faucet. Leila
turned on the hot water. Daphne was
glad to be at work.

much trepie.tt ton as If she had been
the accused instead of the accuser she
faltered "Oh, say, Leila, do you re-
member a man named Wetherell?"
Leila dropped a plate. She said it
was hot. But other plates. had been
hot.

uncertainty. II believe / do remem-

Already Leila had gained the wealth
er gauge. Daphne had to confess her
outing with Duane, the crash of the
collision and the return to Yonkers
in Wetherell's car. Leila took advan-
tage Of the situation to interpolate:
"Good heavens! How could you?
You of all people! And with Tom
Duane! What would Clay think?"
Daphne knew that she had no right
to reproach Leila for having known
WethereIl in Newport. She had no
right even to suspect that Leila had
o~verstepped any Of the bounds Of pro-
priety. And still she was not con-
WINGED of Leila's innocence. She was
merely silenced.

He had crowded nearer and he held
her fast against the door Of the car.
His right hand clung to hers; his
left slid down to her waist. He drew
her toward him, staring up beseech-
ingly. He laid his cheek against her
left side like a child, the big man
pleading to the little woman for
mercy.
She felt sorry for him and for her
self. She regretted that cruelty was
her one unmistakable duty. She had
NO right to be kind, and charity would
lie a sin. She wrung her hands free
from his with slow persuasion and
shook her head pityingly.

CHAPTER XXI.

The next day her fears of Wetherell
and of Leila were rekindled. She went
down to ask Bayard to help her trace
Clay. Bayard was out and Leila was
on the point of leaving. She was
dressed in her killingest frock and
hat and generally accoutered for con-
quest.
aren't we grand!" Daphne cried.
"You look like a million dollars.
Where are you off TOT"
"Going for a little SPIN"
"Who with?''
Leila hesitated a moment, then
answered, with a challenging def
ance: with Mr.. Wetherell. Any OBJ
jection?"
Daphne disapproved and felt afraid !;
but when Bayard came in unexpect-
eddy early and asked for Leila Daphne
lied inevitably and said she did not
know where she was.
She tried to be casual about it, but
Bayard caught fire at once. He was
already in a state Of tindery irri-
liability, and Daphne's efforts to re-
assure him as to Leila's innocence of
IN guile only angered him the more.
He kept leaning out of the window
and staring down into the street. FL
nally, espying Leila in Wetherelrs
car when it approached the apart
ment house, he dashed to the elevator
and met the two at the curb.
When Leila got out she was startled
to see him standing at her elbow.
There was nothing for her to do but
make the intrOductions.
"Oh, it's you. dear!" she fluttered.
II want you to meet Mr.. Wetherell.
Mr.. Wetherell. my husband"
"Ah. really!" Wetherell exclaimed,
trying to conceal his u~neaNiness. ''This
is a bit of luck! I've heard so much
about you! Your wife does nothing
but sing your praises"
won't you come up?" said Bayard
Ominously.
"Er-thanks-no, not today. I'm a
tri1e late to disappointment"
"Then I'll have a word with you

Leila; I'll join you in a minute.p
He said it pleasantly, but Leila was
terrified. The spectacle of rival bucks
locking horns in her dispute is not al
together enjoyable to a civilized doe.
Leila went into the vestibule and
watched through the glass door, ex-
pecting a combat. She could not hear
Bayard saying:

SAVES WAsTAGE OF LIGHT
Device That Automatically Turns off
Power Has Been Found to Be
of Real Value.

One of the considerable sources of
fuel waste is the unnecessary burning
of electric lights. A large percentage
Of lights are used chiefly for limited
periods, as for instance in cloak
rooms. They are turned on and then
heedlessly left burning. Thus we are
constantly recommended to shut off
needless lights as a matter of national
saving.
An invention designed to remedy
this condition is the work of j. e.
Lewis of New York. By pushing d
button the light is turned on and CLOVIS
for a predetermined period-say, five
or ten minutes-and then is auto
matically cut off. The device has been
rested and found practical and seems
useful in the way of checking electric
light waste.

grumbled, what a fool I was to

Daphne had rarely found a man
who would talk to her with Duane's
f%rankness. and if there is anything
that interests a woman more than an
other it is to hear womankind an
alyzed, even satirized. She was eager

than ever. All the splendors he could

They sat down to a pitiful meal
meatless, maidless, enthusiastically
more than the raw turnips and cold

fetched what victual there was.
After the meal Bayard shrugged
into his overcoat and left without
kissing his wife or his sister goodby.
