the following note:

short time and desire to speak to

importance to me. Kindly set your

Respectfully yours,
DAVID SMITH"
He did not re-read the note. He
was afraid that if he did so he
might not have the courage to
send it.
Deliver this to Miss Leighton" :"
he directed, "and bring the reply as
soon as possible"
When the boy had gone David
walked up and down the room a
half dozen times. He felt slightly
dizzy and remembered that he had
eaten nothing since his light break
fast.
"Ye gods! am in a nice state of
nerves." he muttered. This inter-
view has knocked all other thoughts
out OF my head. And no wonder.
All my future happiness depends
upon the outcome of it,"
Which soliloquoy shows how
much in love David Smith DeLaine
was.
Nevertheless he ordered some
supper brought up to his room. He
was averse to going into the public
! diningroom. He might meet one of
the Leighton's acquaintances there
someone who would recognize in
him the ex-chauffeur.
But he must sustain his strength
by food. So when his dinner came
he forced himself to take enough to
stay fainting nature, and drank a
cup of strong black coffee. He had
just finished this when the mes
senger knocked again at his door.
David DeLaine opened it eagerly.
The boy held a letter out to him.
You got back very quickly"
David approved.
The boy gasped at the liberal

CHAPTER LXXVI.

Copyright, 1919, Star Coz
The trip from Washington to New
York took six hours. Almost one
half of this time was spent by
David DeLaine in composing the
rough draft of letter he proposed
to send to nesiree Leighton upon his
arrival in the metropolis.
He lad made his plans definitely.
He would go TO a hotel, register
there as David Smith, send his note
to Desiree and await her answer.
He had never found another
epistle as difficult to indite as was
this short one TO the woman he
loved.
He was a victim of conflicting
emotions. At one moment he hoped
that, with her charitable nature,
she would consent to see her
fathers eX-chauffeur. But by the
time that he had laid this flattering
JUNCTION to his soul he was assailed
by doubts. Perhaps she would con-
slider David Smith ineXcusably i'm
pertinent in seeking her out-he, an
ordinary chauffeur who was no
longer in her fathers employ. and
who had left in direct opposition to
his employers wishes.
If she were to consent to see him
would he have sufficient courage to
tell her the truth about himself?
And would she. in indignation, order
him from her presence?
OF one thing he was certain. If
she did consent to receive him, she
would plan to do so when her father
was to be out of the house. There
would be no danger of DeLaine's
meeting the proprietor of the Leigh
ton mansion.
When David came out of the
Pennsylvania station in New York
a persistent rain was falling and it
was very cold. He shivered slight
ly as he settled back in the taxi he
had summoned.
He might have been so happy re-
turning to New York a rich man
after having worked here as poor
one! But happiness could not be
his until he had had the interview
which he dreaded yet longed for.
In his hotel room he threw off
his hat and coat and glanced over
the last tentative letter he had
written on the train. Then, with an
impatient ejaculation, he tore it into

if he were touching the garment of
the girl he loved.
When he at last tore open the
envelope, the brevity of the mes
sage startled him. 1t was almost
blunt.
You may come this evening -
about eight forty-fiVe," he read.
Il shall be alone at that hour. D.
Leighton"
She would see him! He drew u
long breath of relief.
Then he read the note again
There was not an unnecessary word
in it. He could not guess if the
writer was displeased with him or
not.
She was to be alone. Probably
this was one of the nights on which
her father went to his club. David
Smith had driven him there upon
several occasions. He wondered
vaguely who was driving him to-
| night.
And, with this wonder, he appre-
ciated-his heart sinking as he did
| so-that, after all, he had been Sam
uel Leighton's chauffeur. And he
had written to Miss Leighton ask!
| ing her to allow him to call upon
her.
What colossal impertinence! How
could he have had the effrontery To
make this request!
| He glanced at the clock. He had
| just time to get into his dress
clothes and reach Mr.. Samuel
I4eighton's house by eight forty

You made good with me all

Are you flirting with me?" I
asked, refusing to take fright as
once l had done at the slightest
sound of hidden meaning in Toms
voice.

Tom in n tone that sounded like
vow. Then he jerked himself round
to something else. Anne, l told

cerns?"

ly.
Its about Pat Dalton. He's n
darn good friend of mine-always
was. Sometimes l think it was his
friendship for me that helped get
him in wrong with the naughty
Virginia. . I'd rather not tell the
story if you'll just take it for grant
ed. Will you?"
II haven't the least idea"-I be-
gan, but Tom waved his hand in
large gesture which he seemed to
think covered the case.
"Oh, the usual thing where a
couple of young, wild devils of our
stripe were concerned. Well. I've
changed. Completely. And finding
out what the right sort of woman
can mean to chap, ! feel darn
sorry for poor old Pat. But 1 trust
him. Think he's man enough to
come out top-whole in the end,
however. It's another matter that
worries me-"
His tone was heavy with mean
ing.
What worries you?" I asked
with a sudden gladness that chess
was as completely absorbing to Jim
and Mr.. Haldane as line.-- seemed
to be to Mrs. Hill and 1rma.
What worries me is Sheldon
Blake" replied Tom. "Shelly's a
wild 'un. And l see him travelling
all his well-worn paths with Nir-

come from so many quarters where the
best minds are driving their way into
natures secrets. When science ad-
vances, everything advances. 1t is the
march of God, leading the human soul.
Take, for instance, the experiments of
Professor Francis f. Nipher of the
washington University. ST. Louis, on the
relation of gravitation to electric
charges No investigator tied by acad-
emlc restrictions or restrained by scien-
tine caution, would care to dwell upon
the tremendous consequences that may

gravitational attraction between the
suspended balls used in the well-known
Cavendish apparatus for ascertaining
the density of the earth, but actually
TO convert that attraction into repul-
sion which may be several times great
er than the original attraction.
Professor Nipher first announced his
results nearly a year ago and now he
follows with a statement of observa-
tions since made which show that even
the daily variations in the electrical
potential of the earth cause measurable
increase and decrease of gravitational
attraction between the suspended balls.
Here, then. we seem to have nulli-
fication of the greatest law of nature,
the constitutional law of the universe,
which holds worlds and suns together
with tyrannous power, suggestively
placed within our control through our
ability to guide the flow of electric
currents and to manipulate electric
charges. 1t would not do. of course. TO

years we shall be making regular jour-

and capricious, giant of electric-gravity.

gin thus2 The river starts as a rill, or

j. j. Thomson pointed out before the
experiments described above were made
that If the theory that gravitation is a
sort of residual effect of electricity is
correct, the weight OF bodies can only
depend upon the number of units of
electricity that they contain. Think,
then. of human hands and brains con-
trolling that number!
Truly Archimedes was very modest
when he talked of the possibility, if
he had a standing place, of moving the
earth with lever. 1t is a bolder

that If we could produce a proper cleo
trio condition in the earth we could
make it as light as a soap bubble.
Out in space there are at play demi-
urgic forces which actually seem to do
things of this kind. Professor Nipher
suggests that the phenomena studied by
him in his laboratory may explain how
the substance that forms comets tails
is first attracted and then repelled by
the sun; and II. j. j. See asserts that
the electro-dynamic nature or gravita-
ton accounts for the well-known ir-
regularities in the motion or the moon.
because the suns gravitational attrac-
ton upon the moon is weakened when
the earths body is interposed at the
time of lunar eclipses. So, from many
sides this subject is looming up.

CHAPTER CCCXXXvIII

copyright, 1919. King Feature Syn
dicate. 1nc.)
Tom Mason's dinner for lrma
Warren and Mr.. Haldane followed
hard upon my unhappy experience
with Virginia in the motion picture
theater. I decided. however, not to
tell Jim about it until the dinner
was over.
Jim, as experience has taught
me, is always upset at the mere
mention of Anthony Norreys name.
Whether it is because he hates to
remember the days when he was
struggling so hard for a place in the
world, or whether the embers of his
jealousy are ready to fan to blaze,
I can't decide.
But l felt it best not to risk any
discussion that would put Jim in a
dangerous mood on the eve of a
dinner where my friends were the
guests of honor.
OFF we went, therefore, with the
incident involving Virginia, Carlot-
ia and Tom all untold.
In the back of my mind was the
wish to make our social life center
about some other group than the
one composed of the Cosbys and
the Pettingills, since they hurt me
too much by making me realize it
was Jim they liked. and II was
only a secondary consideration. They
made me jealous and bitter. and in
order to avoid those ugly feelings
felt I had best avoid Val and Aunt
Mollie.
The incident of their snubbing
me in the shop remained also un-
told. But this I decided to bury
for all time. l wouldn't let myself
tattle. To defend me, Jim would be
compelled to quarrel with people
he liked. Not to defend me meant
a quarrel between us.
1t would make me very happy to
be free to tell Jim all that happens
to me. But life seems to insist on
silences and secrets between we who
love each other so dearly.
The dinner was charming, and the
evening passed delightfully."-. One in
cident occurred which colored ev-
erything for me. Tom, Irma and
] were chatting with the adorable
little old white-haired lady who
Keeps house for Tom-"Sonny," as
she calls him. Jim and Mr.. Hal
dane were deep in a conversation
which seemed to absorb both. Sud
denly Jim called Tom, and a few
minutes later he and Mr.. Haldane
were seated on opposite sides of a
chess table.
"Oh, how wonderful of your hus-
band to remember the thing Uncle
enjoys most in the world" cried
Irma Warren with great delight.
Not many young men would be so
thoughtful"
"I didn't even know my husband
played chess" ! replied carelessly.
81 knew he liked cards.
Mrs. Hill put her blue-veined old
hand over mine gently as if she felt
the bitterness that was creeping into
my voice.
None of us know all about the
people we love most" she said
gently.
I looked at her in amazement.
Either she was a witch or the nerv-
business to which ! always fall prey

table in the posture he takes for all
games betrays itself clearly. ! gath

rejoinder:
