A moment later the doorbell rang
Daphne checked the maid whose ears
had been fascinatingly entertained
and told her that If the caller were
Mr.. Wimburn he was to wait outside
In the hall. It was Wimburn and
Daphne went out to him. He greeted
her with the zest Of young lover
Daphne gave him a cold cheek to kiss
and then, pulling her engagement ring
from her finger, placed it in his hand.
"What-what's this, Daphne?" he
suffered.
Its your ring. I'm giving it back
The engagement is Indefinitely"
"For heavens sake, why? What

Nothing. Neither have I. But I'm
going to do something"
"What are you going to do. Daphne p

"Don't you love me any moreT'
"Just as much as ever-more than

"Prove 1t by putting the ring back

"Never! Send it back and save your
money. That's what I'm going to dc

She left him outside and closed the
door as lovingly as she could.
While Clay waited for the elevator
to come up and take him down he
stared at the ring with sleeps eyes

and laughed and almost spoke his
thought aloud:
Funny thing. I haven't paid for II

This Is one of the first lessons that
certain sorts Of husbands teach to GER

When the man Of the house had de-
parted for his Office, and the waiter
had carried OF the breakfast relics,
the three women were left alone in a
completely feminine conclave. They
faced life like three Norns: the old
mother, the new wife, and the deferred
wife, each from her colgn Of dlsadvun-
tage.
The two married women turned on
the maid, with common resentment.
They were married and dependent and
she had her independence. They were
Tories and she Wing. It was their
privilege to rail at things as they were,
but it was their religion to frown on

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulhlls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri.
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

She refused to go to the tea party
now that the gown was lost, ana sne
said she had letters to write.
But when her mother and Leila mao
left her she wrote only one letter-a
note of regretful rejection to Dutilh.
She pinned it to the box and sent It
off by messenger. Then she tele-
phoned to Tom Duane.
She did not quite realize the temer-
ity of calling man at his club, and
Tom Duane misunderstood her, Inn
puted her innocence to its opposite. he
remembered her as pretty thing. II
she we're brazen-well, he liked brass
in certain forms. When she said that
she wanted to have serious talk with
him at his convenience, he made 1t the
immediate moment at the cost OF
breaking an engagement at tennis.
He asked her If she would not meet
him somewhere for tea, but she said
that she preferred to see him at her
brothers apartment. His invitation
aroused her suspicion. Her Invitation
confirmed his.
Daphne's heart was beating excited
ly while she waited for him and she
began to feel that she had put herself
in a wrong light. When Duane ar
rived and the maid showed him into
the living room Daphne tried to re-
deem herself by businesslike direct
ness.
"Mr. Duane, you must think 1t very
peculiar of me to drag you up here"
II think it's mighty kind Of you"
"You say that before you hear what
I'm going to ask you. I'm going to
ask you to do me a tremendous ia
vOr."
"That will be doing me tremen-
dous favor" he said.
Then she amazed him with her re-
quest: "You offered yesterday-of
course I know you didn't mean it-but
you offered to get me Job with a
theatrical manager"
Duane's hospitable smile hardened
into a grimace Of anxiety. He num-
bled, "Oh, yes"
"You know Mr.. Raven-or whatever
his name is-very we'll. don't your"
"Mr. Reben-oh, yes-yes, know
him fairly WELL"
II want to 60 on the stage. Would
you dare introduce me to Mr.. Reben?"
"Indeed will, and proud to do it"
"Do you think he'll give me a
a job?"
It'll make him."
"How can I ever repay your"
Her hand went out to him and he
took it and squeezed it, and 1t
squeezed back gratefully. But he did
not let 60. Duane seemed to be ex-
cited suddenly.
Daphne drew her hand back, but his
came with it, and he followed close
upon. There was a look In his eyes
that made her uneasy. His voice was
uncertain as he said:
"You can repay me easily enough,
if you want to-"
II do. But how? How?" she asked
anxiously, not quite daring to wrench
her hand free.
"By-by being-by being kind to
me-"
kind? Howl"
He did not answer with words, but
he lifted her hand with both Of his
to his lips. It was an act of old
tangled gallantry that could hardly
be resented. But, manlike, having
made formal surrender, he tried to
take command. One hand held hers,
the other swept round her shoulders
and pressed her against him, without
roughness yet with strength. His lips
moved now, not toward her hand, but
toward the sacredness of her mouth.

Inquiry. on Increase
In Fuel Oil Prices
Approved by Senate
Phelan, of California, Ayers
Britain Seeks to Acquire
Interests in His State and
Control World Market

WASHINGTON, July 29.-After brief
debate the Senate to-day, without a
record vote, adopted resolution by
Senator Poindexter, Republican, of
Washington, authorizing the Federal
Trade Commission to investigate recent
oil in the United States, and especially
on the Pacific Coast.
Action by the Senate was taken after
Senator Phelan, Democrat, California,
had charged that British interests were
attempting to acquire vast oil interests
in California and that Great Britain
was endeavoring to corner the world
oil industry. He said that unless steps
were taken to encourage American oil
operations abroad, the worlds supply
will be in the hands OF British nation
ais within few years.
Under the resolution the commits
sion is authorized to investigate the
source and supply of oil in this coun-
try and also inquire into what cor
porate interests have conducted the
production, refining and marketing of
oil in the last few years, and whether
there have been any indications of H.
legal restraint OF trade and unfair
competition.
When Senator Walsh Democrat, Of
Montana, urged legislation to develor
oil lands, Senator Smoot said he had
reports that Secretary Daniels would
oppose all oil land leasing bills now
before Congress. Senator Walsh said
he could not believe the Secretary
"would stand alone among all public
men" in opposing oil land develop
