can't have tea with you. But I'm
just leaving in a great rush." she
said smoothly.
Then she hurried across the room
in manner that lacked her usual
scornful indifference and suggested
agitation. Just as she got to the
door. Tom Mason strode into sight
down the long corridor. Valerie
hurried forward. 1 saw her lift her
languorous eyes to his face, lay her
hand on his arm and then they dis
appeared.
1 was distinctly annoyed. 1
couldn't understand Valerie's meet
ing Tom Mason like this. Above
All, l couldn't see why she raced
him away from the place Could it
be just because l had CHANGED to
come in? Then / laughed my own
suspicious aside. After all the meet
ing might have been nothing but
accident coincidence. Anyway, it
was no concern of mine. Val didn't
pretend to be my friend. 1 didn't
pretend to be Toms.
My tea and toast devoured with
gusto, l proceeded around to the
hall for my lesson.
Afternoon, Mrs. Harrison" said
the nice lad who was my instructor.
How'd you like a road lesson to-
day? You're doin' so fine, you're
ready for it if you say the word"
1 agreed with delight, and my
instructor piloted me over to
quiet avenue, where he let me ex-
hibit my skill as driver. For an
hour we drove up and down with
eager pomp, and then as we came
back into traffic he took the wheel
again.
"where1l I take you?" he asked.
Home" began and then 1
glanced up and saw the hands of a
corner clock scornfully toeing out
from each other. Its not quite six,
I must have been early" 1 said
How would it be for you to take
me down to call for Mr.. Harrison ?"
I'm game" said the boy. And
if you like, I'll wait and drive you
both home"
How nice!" cried, giving him
Jim's address.
Aglow from my own inspiration
and the boys kindness, I stepped
into the elevator and gave the num-
Der of my floor. This was the first
time I had ever called for Jim. 1t
seemed like an adventure.
/ paused for moment to gaze
proudly on the name, ~. H. Harri-
son." which occupied the door in
lordly state. Then l sailed in with
the happy sense of belonging.
The Office was deserted. The cool
aloofness of the desks didn't offer
me a welcome. The very waste
baskets yawned as if I were a tire
some intruder.
"Of course-it's after six" 1 eX-
planned to my chagrined self.
Then automatically l pushed open
the door to Jim's private office.
Tilted back in his own chair sat
Jim. Leaning forward across his
big, flat-topped desk was Envy.

MAN WEARS TURBAN
THIRTY FEET LONG

LopdOn-American women haven't
n thing on man from India when it
comes to wearing expensive hats. And
they'll have to get busy to crowd as
much on their heads as do the men
from Bombay, Calcutta and Punjab,
for those red, yellow and white tur-
bans which are seen adorning the
head of some of the Methodist CEN
tenary visitors from India are as long
as three tablecloths put end to end.
Each turban is made up of nintY
square feet of cloth, thirty feet long
by three feet wide. If one of these
dark skinned men from India should
lose his silk turban and try to dupli-
cate ii in Philadelphia, he would have
Ito pay at least $40 for it. But over in
India he pays only about one tenth
this price.
The average person wonders why
men in those burning countries wear
a hat which covers the head as COM
pletely as the hood of an Eskimo.
Both do it for the same reason; one
seeks protection from heat and she
ether from cold. The heat of ones own
body is far more endurable than the
/ burning rays of India's sun.
A man wears turban thirty feet
long. while small boy wears one from
ten to fifteen feet long. But Indian
youngsters have found that the cap
of the American boy takes far less
, time to put on than his turban, and
| they are generally discarding the
| headgear of their fathers for that
worn by America.

inquiries, he hurried away, closing
the front door behind him.
She stood looking at the trinket
thinking hard.
4 Puzzle
Why had he not simply said that
he had supposed the jewel was hers
since it was in her car? She might
be wrong IN fancying that he had
really seen the pendant before. But
if she was right, where could he
have seen it?
Could it be possible that Norah
had shown it to him?
No-the idea was absurd! Norah
had never had an opportunity to
show Smith anything in the house
unless he had came here some eve
ming when her master and mistress
were out. But on such occasions
Smith always drove them to the
place to which they were going and
always called to bring them home.
OF course, the chauffeur might have
been at the house during their alb
sence-and Norah could then have
displayed to him some of her mis-
tresss belongings. Yet that was not
likely.
OnleSS-dIlu llldl luSd was tiSO
absurd-the girl had put the trinket
on her own neck at some time to
impress a chauffeur. If so, her be-
haviour was outrageous.
But Desiree could hardly believe
this of Norah. Yet she was sure that
she herself would not be comfor-
table until she discovered the truth.
Turning back, she went upstairs
to her own room and summoned her
maid
"Norah,' she said. "see what
Smith found in the bottom of the
car"
"Oh. ma'am!" Norah exclaimed.
And isn't it good you didn't drop
it on the street,"
Indeed it is. 1t is very valuable
and I prize it highly. / am glad
Smith is an honest fellow, l Won
der how he knew it was my pend
ant-for he drove two other lad
les in the car to-day"
Perhaps he saw it on you," the
girl suggested. But no, he couldn't
either-not with your fur over it,"
HE may have seen it at the
house sometime" Desiree ventured.
Perhaps he did, ma'am," Norah
replied calmly.
hef manner was SO ldCklHS III
self consciousness and so indiffer-
ent that Desiree perceived that her
own suspicious had been unjust.
She was glad, and so much relieved
that she wished she had spoken
more kindly to Smith about his
thoughtfulness in returning her
pendant so promptly.
She would do this when she next
saw him.

CHAPTER xxx.

David De Laine wanted to get rid
of the sapphire pendant as soon as
possible. 1t had started a train of
thought that he wished to Danish.
So. instead of waiting until late in
the afternoon when he was to bring
his employer home, he walked
around to Mr.. Leighton's house
about 4 o'clock.
AS he mounted the steps, the
front door was opened by Desiree
herself, who, dressed for the street,
was just starting out for a walk.
At sight of her the chauffeur took
off his hat.
why Smith" she exclaimed in
surprise. What's the matter? Not
another accident, is there?"
"Oh, no, Miss Leighton!" he reas-
sured her. But might 1 speak to
you for a moment?"
Certainly" she said. step in
side if you like"
She moved back into the house
and he followed her, drawing from
his pocket a small tissue paper

her. 1T is yours. You dropped it
this morning."
"Mine?" she asked, wondering.
"I do not remember losing any
thing. What is it?"
"A piece of jewelry."
But" she insisted starting to
remove the tissue paper wrapping,
II have not missed anything. 1t

He hesitated.

Who made my girl cry?" asked
Jim, ceasing to struggle with re-
fractory collar button and coming
over to kiss the tears from my
eyes.
Meal" I snivelled, laughing at
myself. He's such dear. He's
going out home and he'll see Father
Andrew. I'm glad. Particularly as
Envy has decided to have the we'd

his head with a pleased smile as l
took command of the collar button

his breakfast in a great hurry and
went off in such a rush that he had

his good-by kiss.

high good humor.

I had expected, so I had a hasty
bite of lunch and hurried down town
for some shopping which clamored
to be done. At four was famished,
so I dropped in at Carriers for tea

the gun emplacement, falling within
twenty-five yards of the gun with his

knee, and with several bullet holes in
his body, with undaunted courage, he
continued TO fire into the emplace-
