plies TO his kilograms sounding out
the sentiment in other states re-
garding the amendment. The tele-
grams went 10 the governors Of 81
states asking them II they would

states justihablr.
Gov. Goodrich has not made any
of the replies public. but it was in

CHAPTER XIII.
THAT night at dinner. Doris

THAT night at dinner. Doris
was more pensive than usual.
Her mother, observing this,
wondered X she were thinking Of
the conversation Of the afternoon
distressing herself over Hugh's suf-
ferings.
Ruth. watching her sister, specu-
lated as to what Mrs. Courtney had
told Doris. II the parent had
spoken out her thoughts. perhaps
the child was drcading Hugh's pos
sible disfgurement-pitying him as
she thought of the long weeks Of
convalescence ahead Of him. II so,
Ruth was almost glad. 1t showed
that Doris heart was in the right
place.
Both mother and sister were cor
rect in their surmises. Doris was
dreading Hugh's invalidism. which
must be eased by her presence. She
was sorry for the man to whom she
was engaged But she was more
sorry for herself.
She was quite willing that Ralph
Norton should notice her detection.
1t would move him to renewed
interest in her and strong des,fe
to lessen the gloom that shroudei
ber young spirit.
Her manner had the desired effect
She was not SO depressed as to mar
the pleasure Of the diners, yet sad
enough to arouse their sympathy.
She smiled frequently, but listlessly,
as If cheerfulness was only pro-
duced by a conscious effort.
Ruth went to her own room after
dinner. Before following her ex-
ample Mrs. Courtney sat In the
drawing room for a few minutes
with the young people, chatting OF
various subjects that she supposed
would be of interest to them. When
at last she arose. she turned to her
daughter with a request.
A Bit Of Subtlety.
Doris, darling. will you get me a
glass of water, please?"
AS the girl left the room, the
matron held out her hand to Ralph
Norton.
Good night. Mr.. Norton. ! am

friend as you. The understanding

comfort! And Doris depends upon
worry. I am sure everything is
coming out happily for her"
The man flushed. You are very
