CHAPTER XXI.
The Wife of Dives.

Mrs. Henderson stool at the win.
dow of her sitting room at White
Gables gazing out upon the. wavering
landscape of fine rain and mist. The
weathr had broken as it seldom does
in that part in June. White wreath
ings drifted up the fields from the
sullen sea; the sky was an unbroken
gray deafness shedding pin-point
moisture that was now and then
blown against the panes with crepi-
alton of despair. The lady looked
out on the dim and chilling prospect
with a woeful face. 1t was a bad
day for woman bereaved, alone and
without a purpose in life.
There was knock and she called,
Come inp drawing herself up with
an unconscious gesture that always
came when she realized that the
WEAKNESS of the world had been
gaining upon her spirit. Mr.. Trent
had called, the maid said; he apollo
gized for coming at such an carly
hour, but hoped that Mrs. Mander-
son would see him on a matter OF
urgent importance. Mrs. Henderson
would see Mr.. Trent. She walked
to a mirror, looked into the olive
face she saw reflected there, shook
her head at herself with the flickr
of a grimace, and turned to the
door as Trent was shown in.
His appearance, she noted, was
changed He had the jaded look of
the sleepless, and new and reserved
expression, in whiche hr quick sensi-
bilities felt something not propitious,
took the place of his half-smile of
fixed good humor.
May | come to the point at
once?" he said when she had given
him her hand. There is train l
ought to catch at Bishopsbridge at
II o'clock, but l cannot 60 until l
have settled this thing, which con-
Germs you only, Mrs. Henderson. I
have been working half the night,
and thinking, the rest; and I know
now what l ought to do"
You look wretchedly tired" she
said kindly. Wont you sit down?
this is very restful chair. OF
course it is about this terrible bust
ness and your work as correspond
mt. Please ask me anything you
think I can properly tell you, Mr..
Trent. l know that you won't make
it worse for me than you can help in
doing your duty here. If you say
you must see me about something,
1 know it must be because, as you
say. you ought to do it."
MRS. Henderson," said Trent,
his words, II won't make
it worse for you than l can help. But
am bound to make it bad for you

ed to represent Mr.. Spencer. He
knows nothing of our being here

fact as long as he lives unless we
decide to tell him. But you will

The woman laughed gratingly.
Her assurance was coming back to
her.
Like hell will" she snarled.
"Let Charlie Spencer alonea have
an enlarged kodak of myself doing
that little thing Why you poor
fish, I've known Charlie Spencer a
lifetime. Over 20 years ago he
left his wife and child for my sweet

overthe world. The Lord knows it

Forgetting Lillian's admonition,
except this slur against my little
mother lost to me forever, I swept
the curtain andn sprag toward the
woman.
Don't dare to speak my mothers
namew I exclaimed passionately.

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless), and
ID better than anything else you can
use.
aae or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply, moisten the hair
with water and, rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
tine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
,il shampoo at any pharmacy, it's
very cheap, and few ounces will
supply every member Of the family
for months,-Adv.

any circumstances is a polite fiction.
He still stood as awaiting dismissal;
but she was silent. She walkd to
the window, and he stood miserably
watching the slight movement OF
her shoulders until it subsidized. Then
with face averted, looking out on
the dismal weather, she spoke at last
clearly.
MFR. Trent" she said, you inspire
confidence in people, and ! feel that
things which I don't want known
or talked about are safe with you.
And l know you must have a very
serious reason for doing what you
are doing, though l don't know what
it is. l suppose it would be assisting
justice in some way if | told you the
truth about what you asked me just
now. To understand that truth you
ought to know about what went be-
fore; mean about my marriage.
After all, a good many people could
tell you as we'll as / can that it was
not very successful
union. I was only 20. I admired
his force and courage and certainty;
he was tn only strong man had
ever known. But it did not take
me long to find out that he cared
for his business more than for me,
and think | found out even sooner
that I had been deceiving myself and
binding myself, promising myself
impossible things and wilfully mis-
understanding my own feelings, be-
cause I was dazzled by the idea of
having mode money to spend than
an English girl ever dreams of. l
have been dspising myself for that
for five years. My husbands feeling
for me = we'll, l cannot
speak of that what I want
to say is that along with it there
had always been a belief of his that
l was the sort of woman to take
great place in society, and that I
should throw myself into it with en-
joyment and become sort OF per-
sonag and do him great credit-that
was his idea; and the idea demained
with him after other decisions had
gone. l was part of his ambition.
That fas his really bitter disappoint-
ment-that I failed him as social
success. | think he was too shrewd
not to have known in his heart that
such man as he was 20 years older
than l., with great business responA
sibilities that filled every hour of
his life, and caring for nothing else
he must have felt that there was a
risk of great unhappiness in marry
ing the sort of girl | was, brought
up to music and books and unprac-
teal ideas, always enjoying myself |
in my own way. But he had-really |
reckoned on me as wife who would /
do the honors of his position in the
world; and l found l couldn't.
Mrs. Henderson had talked herself
into more emotional mood than
she had yet shown to Trent. Her
words flowed freely, and her voice
had begun to ring and give play to
a natural exprssiveness tina" must
hitherto have been dulled, he thought
by the shock and self-restraint Of
the past few days. Now she turned
swiftly from tn window ande faced
him as she went on, her beautiful
face flushed and animated, her eyes
cleaning, her hands moving in slight
emphatic gestures, as she surrndered
herself to the impulse of giving
speech to things long pent up.

New York: Doctor Common, formerly Of

who smoke. chew or snuff necessarily
and who are seemingly healthy are suf-

Thousands of them would never have been
afflicted had it not been for the use Of
tobacco, and thousands would soon get

tobacco. The chief habit forming prin-
ciple of tobacco is nicotine, a deadly poi
son which. when absorbed by, the system,

Why Madge Took a Hand in the

Allen Drake shrugged his shout

put the tips of his lngers together

your little prejudice will delay US

sound of the name, Mrs. Robbins"
She turned her head toward her
again, opened her mouth to speak,
but did not venture to interrupt his
flow of words until he had finished.
Where do you get that stuff,
Mrs. Robbins here"
Allen Drake spread his hands
with gesture which had something
foreign in it, but made no other
reply, nor did he even glance toward
the protesting woman. After
pregnant silence, Lillian took up the
cue.
MRS. Robbins" Turns.
The monosyllable with its rising
infection seemed to echo through
the room, to come back with inf
nitely added volume to the confute
the woman denying the name
;;I9;Eich had been given her. In her
sudden angry confusion she forgot
the declaration she had made that
that she would not converse with
Lillian.
What the HI do you know
about my name?" she demanded,
facing Lillian savagely "and where
do you come in this anyway I'd like
to know"
"I'll tel you that in words of one
syllable whenever you're ready to

could not see hire eyes, but I knew
that they were gazing steadily at
the woman with steely, almost
hypnotic glitter, which Lillian uses

that behind that glare her brain was :,

ged her shoulders with a nonchal-
ance as realistic as that Allen Drake
had used, advanced toward chair,
seated herself in it, threw one leg
over the other, and reached toward
a cigarette tray on the table.
"Trot out your fairy story" she
said contemporary, lighting her
cigarette and putting at it with her
eyes on the ceiling.

MARSHAL FOCH HAS FIRST
HOLIDAY IN FIVE YEARS
Enjoying Creature Comforts the
Hun Deprived Him Of Since Be-
ginning of the World War.

PARIS, August 20 Correspondence
Of the Associated Press).-Marshal
Foch is enjoying the first holiday he
has had in five years. On his estate
at Morlaix, near Brest. the generals
simo Of the allied armies is living the
simple life. dressed in loose tweeds
and wearing a cap. only retaining his
leather leggings as a reminder Of his
uniform.
The marshal is a great lover of
hunting and cartridges are thick in
the woods of Brittany. But the mar
shall disconsolately watches them
futter about with impunity. 1t will
not be open season for hunting in
France until September IS. 1t was
open season for the enemy for five
wears and the command er- in chief of
the allied armies never missed a day.
When it became known that Foch
was going to Morlaix, the mayor and
city councillors at once made elabo-
rate plans for the reception. They
were marching down to the station
when some one remarked that the
hour at which the train was due had
passed.
at matters not" said the mayor;
"that Brest train is never on time"
They arrived at the station. how
ever, to find that the train actually
had come and gone for twenty-five
minutes. For once it had been on
schedule time. Gen. Foch was aboard
and he never brooks delay.

VOTES TO SIGN TREATY
Protests, However, Against Al

Under Foreign Rule.

VIENNA. Saturday, September 6 (by
the Associated Press).-The national
assembly. by vote OF 81 to 23, to-
day decided to sign the peace treaty.
The assembly, however, protested
against the violation of Austria's
right Of free disposal Of herself"
The German nationalists voted
against signature of the treaty, while
some members of the south Tyrolese
vote was taken after adoption, with
out dissent of the governments reso-
luton of protest, presented by the
Christian socialist, Hauser, declaring
the territorial clauses of the treaty
grossly violate the national claim to
self-determination and the basis on
which the armistice was concluded.
I'VE raise once more our voices
against a peace founded on brute
force" said the resolution. "As one
man we decline the dividing up of
is done by this peace. We further de-
clare that the 100000 Germans
forced under foreign rule will for all
time insist on self-determination as
the only possible basis on which the
modern state may be founded"
The resolution also declares that
ultimate union with Germany is an
absolute necessity, and expresses the
hope that when the hatred of the
consummated. 1t ends by placing re-
sponsibility for sleeping Europe in
revolution and confusion on the shoul-
ders of the entente and looks to the
league of nations to repair the wrong
done.
