CHAPTER xxv-contInued.

'SThat makes no difference" Daphne
stormed, already converted to the
shop religion. Customers must not
find the door shut. Run open it at
once. Suppose Mrs. Romilly dropped
In. We'd lose her-unless this no
toriety drives her away" A little
blush of shame hickered in Daphne's
pale cheeks a moment and went out.
She sighed: 81 suppose Mr.. Duane
has stopped that check, too-if he ever
sent it. Oh, dear!"
Then a nurse knocked; brought in
a card growing in q large little aza-
lea tree. Daphne scanned it. 'Mr.
Thomas Karick Duane" She peered
closer at the pencilings and read
aloud: at just learned. I'm heart
broken. Isn't there anything l can
doP"
Daphne felt as if outraged society
had forgiven her.
isn't he darling?" she murmured.
Mrs. Chivvis begrudged a stingy,
''Well, of course" She had the poor
folks conscientious scrupIes against
wasting praise on the rich. you'll
want to see him, presume"
But Daphne had had enough Of evil
appearance. "See him here? Never"
She glared at poor Mrs. Chivvis with
reproof that was excruciating to ac-
cept, and ordered her to go down and
meet Mr.. Duane and incidentally learn
about the check. Business is busi-
ness" she said.
Mrs. Chivvis descended in all the
confusion of a Puritan wife meeting
a Cavalier beau. She came back later
to say that Mr.. Duane was really very
nice, and spoke beautifully and had
sent the check and would send an
other if Daphne wished it, and would
make old Mrs. Romilly go on with the
order, and would she like some spe-
cial fruits or soups or something? He
was really very nice.
Daphne eyed her with ironic horror
and said, you've been flirting with
him F.! and me so helpless hereT'
"Daph l-nee!! KipllI" Mrs. Chiv-
Wis screamed. The only cOunter-thrust
she could think Of was, "And what
does Mr.. Wimburn sayT"

Where've You been, Clay? But wait

the new Shop
When she led him into her new EN-.
porium the graceful fabrics displayed
were all red rags to him. He was q
bull in a crimson shop.
Daphne made Clay sit down and
asked him If it were not all perfectly
lovely. He waited until Mrs. Chivvis
went on to the workroom. He had a
glimpse of a number Of girls and
wome' on sewing bent. They were
laughing and chattering.
He answered, 'It's perfectly loath-
some"
Instead Of resenting this insult
Daphne laughed till she fell against
the counter. The worst of it was that
her eyes were so tender.
''Where did you get all the capital
for all this stockT" Clay demanded,
with sudden suspicion.
"oh, part of it we bought on credit
and part of it on borrowed money
Borrowed from whom?"
''From Mr.. Duane"
This was too much of too much.
Clay stormed: 'T'll get him 7"
"Oh, no, you won't!"
"Oh, yes, I will !"

In advance at what was coming n
Clay. "And then borrowed thou
sand from him. We owe him that

Clay was as wroth as she had
wished. He took out a little book.

ing of as much of Bayard's money as
might be necessary on surgeons fees
and doctors bills. If she bankrupted
Bayard it would be with the tenderest
motives.
Five times she went to the operat-
ing table, made that internal journey
into etherland, knowing what after
anguishes waited her, what retching
and burning and bleeding. She braved
death again and again, took long
chances with covering bravado. And
all for Bayard's sake.
One morning when Bayard reached
his Office after a narrowing all-night
vigil at Leila's side he was just falling
asleep over the first mail when his
telephone snarled. he reached for it
with alarm. A voice doomed in his
ear:
"Ah you thah?"
eyes"
"Keep the line, please. Now, you all
through, sir7"
Then growl replaced the boom, a
growl that made the receiver rattle:
@Ah you than, Mr.. Kip? This is
Colonel Marchmont. I dare say YOU
remember our conversation about
those damned contracts with Weth-
erell. A little farther discussion
might not be amiss-if you could
make it perfectly convenient to drop
ovvah at, say, a quawtah pahst fab?
Good I shall expect you at that
nh."
Bayard pondered. What new per-
Fecution was fate preparing2 As he
went to the office, he bought an eve
ming paper. A heavily headed cable
gram announced that the laborers in
the British munition works were strik-

eye. When he reached the desk of
Colonel Marchmont he looked un-
dbashed into the revolver muzzle of

Without any preliminary courtesies
or any softening of his previous tone

we might see our way to renewing

Bayard smiled and shook his head.
He bluffed the buffer. 1.-THE prices we
quoted included only a fair profit,

when anybody else's good fortune was

said I was pretty. But now Oh,
Bayard, Bayardl You used to call me
beautiful, and I tried to be beautiful
for you. But now To be ugly and
useless both-it's too much %
Wise pathfnders say that when you
are wandering In strange country you
should turn every now and then and
look back at the way you came. It
wears a different aspect entirely from
it's look as you approached, and you
will need to know how it will look
when you return.
From childhood on, Leila had been
warned against extravagance-as Bay
ard had, as have we all. But only
now that she was looking backward
could she realize the wisdom, the in
tolerable truth of the adage, waste
not, want not"
Meanwhile Daphne was having so
different a history that she felt
ashamed. 1t seemed unfair to her to
get well quickly and with no blemish
except a scar or two that would not
show, while Leila hung between death
and deformity.
But seeing Bayard alone and hear
ing Leila fret, she felt confirmed in
her belief that she had done the whole
some thing when she Joined the labor
ing classes. There were discourage
ments without cease, yet Daphne was
learning what remedy for how many
troubles there is in work. 1t seemed
to be almost panacea. 1t was exciting
fatiguing, alarming, but it was objec-
tive. She was on her way at last to
that fifty thousand a year she had
dreamed Of. She was uncertain yet of
earning a thousand a year, but she
was on the road.
Clay Wimburn, seeking chances in
the West, did not see the New York
papers or any other record of Daph-
mes accident. When he got back to
New York, his pockets full of con-
tracts, Bayard, equally successful,
greeted him enthusiastically. Then he,I
learned of the accident and the fact
that Daphne was ain trade" He was
Indignant at the news and wanted to
see her at once.
Bayard gave him the address, and
Clay wasted no time asking further
questions. He made haste to the sub
way, Tuning; left the train at the
Grand Central station and climbed up
to a taxicab.
Then he found Daphne.
She led him into little shop empty |
Of everything but the debris of re-

''Where are WEI" said Clay.

She spoke instead: 81 don't ask you

"And you wouldn't give up your
shop for me?"
Certainly not"
He looked at her with bafled emo
lions. She was so delectable and so
obstinate, so right-hearted and so
wrong-headed. 1t was intolerable that
she should keep shop. He spoke
after long delay:

''You miser.'
"Maybe. / guess that's the only
way to save money-to make pas

think that it's the fun of making 1t
that interests me most. 1t certainly
keeps me out of mischief and out of
loneliness. Oh, there's no freedom
like having job and a little reserve
in the bank. It's the only life, Clay"
"And you wouldn't give up your
freedom as you call it, even for a
man you loved? Couldn't you love a
man enough to do that?"
IT could love a man too much to
do that. For where's the love in a
woman's sitting around the house all
day and waiting for a man to come
home and listen to the gossip of her
empty brain? That isn't loving, that's
loafing."
Clay was not at all persuaded.

In this photocomedy MFR. Barrymore
finds himself in consistently extricates
from which he consistently extricates
himself in a highly humorous manner.
1t Is IN this type of plHy that John
Barrymore excels. With his excruiat-
insly humorous facial expressions, his
ludicroes gestures and his general
method of portraying farcical tribula-
tfons and sorrows. he finds himself
admirably suited in a character such
as that OF FItzhew In 'srhe Man From
Mexico"
barrymore is entirely Mt home IN the
clothes and methods of Fitzhew, as the
latter is just the. type of character
that he can portray so facfiely and
mirth- -proyokingly. From the first
flash to the last of this brilliant come
tdy the iaughteasing situations and
episodes never subside, and the roars
continually increase in number and
volume until the denouement of the
play brings genuine crescendo Of
lmirth.
Mr.. barrymore is ably supported
by an excellent cast, which includes

loss of Appetite.

AS general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and
if you skip n meal or only eat two
meals a day for few days you will
soon have n relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a
second meal is taken. Then IL you eat
no more than you crave and take a
reasonable amount of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con.
stipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose
Of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it.
