He leaned back his head in the deep
leather chair, thinking how as a
youngster he had loved TO visit Coates,
and how good he had been to the boy
who admired his work and adventur-
Gus life.
Now there would be no auction, no
wiping out of the old story, no pack
ing away of the paintings from the
broad low walls. He sent off a tsle-
gram over the telephone wire to the
little station. saying he would not re-
turn to New York for two months and
stood on his own veranda until mid
light over at the house on the cliff.
1t was six weeks later. He was
busy writing about dusk in the living
room when suddenly Francesca

She had a lace scarf around her
head and was out of breath. She
held crumpled in her hand a long
folded paper and handed it to him
with eyes that sparkled tragically.
II found that in his desk. OF course

He opened and read it, inwardIy

Dexter looked at her with sudden
intensity and longing. Since she would
stand firm, then he would tell her. He
crossed to his desk, hunted in the
long center drawer. and found Seward

front. He gave it to her and watched
her face as she read.

There was a deep silence in the
room, Francesca had covered her face
with her hands. He drew her head to
his shoulder tenderly.

CHAPTER LIV.

The awful horror that supper party
wasl Had it not been for Barrett,
never could have gone thru it with
out disgracing myself. There were
only two others, a business man and
his wife, old friends of Everett's5 both
about his age or a little older.
From the moment that Mrs. Weeks
saw me, her eyes never left my face.
How much she resembles Leolai"
she said to her husband in stage
whisper. while Everett was engaged
with the menu. THE same coloring.
I'll bet that was the reason he mar
ried her. You remember how he
loved Leola." She stopped when she
saw me looking at her. but every little
while would nudge her husband and
whisper something about me. Then
after Everett was finished with the
waiter. she said to him:
Il see your wife is fond of blue. Or
Is IL your taste? I remember how
your first wife adored sapphires too"
They are very well suited to Mrs
Graham's coloring" Everett had
flushed. and I leaned toward Barrett,
and whispered something that made
him laugh, and deepened Everett's
frown. Then when Mrs. Weeks made
two or three more tactless remarks
about Everett's first wife the very
spirit of recklessness entered into me
and 1 laughed and chatted as my hus-
band never had heard me. I even
joked with Mrs. Weeks about being
wife number two, altho 1 knew it was
in abominable taste. But more than
that was the way 1 flirted with Bar
rett. And when 1 heard her whisper
to her husband that she guessed 1
was gay like the first one did it still
more openly.
knew Barrett was puzzled by my
actions, as well as was Everett, who
l could see was growing very angry.
Well let him. 1 thought defiantly.
He didn't like it or me when 1 tried
TO please him. So 1 might as well pay
no attention to him."
1t was late when we broke up. We
babe them all good night and went
home alone. Everett never spoke all
the way home. He looked so cold and
stern I began to be frightened at what
l had done. Perhaps he would forbid
my ever seeing or speaking to Barrett
again. But instead of that. he never
mentioned his name. But after we
reached home he gave me the most
awful scolding, telling me had acted
so silly. so childishly. that he was
positively ashamed of me. Then he

Worlds Highest Paid woman Writer.
Tho RIght Acc to Marry.

INC ANASAAA AEO "
Another reason why the averag e
man should not marry under twenty
five is that he handicaps his chances
Of success in life. The most wicked
lie that has ever been circulated in the
world is that two can live as cheaply
as one. They can't. 1t takes ten
times as much. Therefore the boy
who marries can never hope to save
anything out of his salary. or to lay
up the little next egg that will enable
him to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities that come his way.
He Is ground to powder between the
upper and neither millstones of domes-
tic needs. He let's himself in for a life
time of slavery to landlords. and gro
GERS. and shoemakers, and doctors.
He grows old, and weary. and discour-
aged because he is crushed under a
load too heavy for his young Shout
ders to>bear.
An early marriage shuts the doors to
success in a boys face. He can't go
to places where fortune calls because
he cannot drag n wife and babies with
him. People who would, and could,
help him II he were single. take no
interest in him II he is hampered with
a family. Everybody boosts a good
looking, attractive. single chap, and
nobody notices worn and seedy
young husband who has walked the
collie half the night and whose clothes
money has gone to buy baby food.
1t may be a heartless and cynical
point of view, but IL is the public point
OF view. and one that Is worth the
consideration OF every young man. II
he wants to hand up. he must not have
a wedding ring on IL.
But Just as the very young man has
small chance of happiness in matri-
mony, so has the old man. The man
who waits until he is fifty to marry
had best postpone the matter alto
g. hot n a q
acquired habits that are dearer to him
than any woman can possibly be.
His ways have become the laws of
the Medes and the Persians which
cannot be changed. His selfishness is
ingrained to the core. ana he cannot
adapt himself to the personality of
another, or make the inevitable sacri-
fees demanded by conjugal life.
To sum IT all up, a man should not
marry until his mind, his character.
and his taste are formed, and until
he has gotten on his own feet and can
make enought money to feel that his
family is a luxury and not an afflic-
ton that he has wished on himself.
Nor should he wait until he has be-
come an ossified old bachelor who has
done everything, and seen everything.
and been everywhere, and is rheu-
matte. and blase and who only wants
a wife who will be a combination sick
nurse and cook and valet.
A man should marry in his prime,
when he Is old enought to know the
value of the gift a woman gives him
when she gives herself and when he
is strong enough to protect, and while
he is young to still thrill with romance,
still keen enough about the joys of
living to be a cheerful and happy
compaion to his wife, and fluid
enough to be able to run himself into
the domestic mold without wrecking it.
And this age generally comes when
a man is between twenty-five and
thirty-five.

McKeever speaks of "straightlaced

and when 1t reaches the 'Intolerant"
stage, it is time that we air out the

and convert with that faith and trust

Great Deal Depends on White Sox
Chance In World Series on
Pitching of Port

by Henry l.. Farrell, United Press

NEW YORK, Sept 30.-On the left
arm of Claude Williams depends to
large extent the chances of the White
, Sox In the world series.
Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson, Chick
Gandi1 and the other big stickers of
the White Sox wrecking crew. may
fall before the slants Of the star Red
hurlers and yet Gleason might cop
honors in the championship fracas.
The concrete defensive works of the
American league champions might
wobble without throwing the seasons.
crown to the Ohio team. But If Will
liams falls down under the load that
will be placed on his shoulders the
hopes of the Sox will go up In smoke.
Eddie Cicotte and Williams worked
double hitch all season and pitched
the hose to victory. If the White
Sox record of never having lost .
world series match is to be main
tanned the same pair of iron men,
must carry the brunt of the box work
against the Reds.
Cicotte, taking up the task in the
opening game, will face the Reds

oftener. The sturdy right handler, on
the strength Of his past season record,
can almost be counted upon Tor TWO
games and possibly three.
Williams, no doubt, will face the
Moran club in the second game. If he
fails to hold the National leaguers
it will burden Cicotte to the breaking
point.
Should he fall down on his second
appearance. the title will go to the
Reds unless miracle happens.
Dick Kerr, the kid south paw, has
earned the right to start game
against the Reds, and Gleason no
doubt will give him the chance. III
the youngster turns the Reds back,
Cicotte and Williams come back with
a two days rest, which has been suiII'
cient for them all season.
Every game the series goes over five
games will mean reduction OF the
White Sox chances.
If Cicotte and Williams get the de-
cision in the opening pair, Kerr can
have a chance to work in the friendly
atmosphere of his home grounds. He
may not be easily ratified but it Is
sure thing that the mad din that only
Cincinnati fans can raise, would be no
sedative to the nerves of youngster
untried in world championship bat
tie.
Providing the younsster can win his
start on the home grounds, the pair
of aces" should have no trouble in
beating morale stripped club for
three straight losses in crucial SER
les would undermine the spirit of even
such a, game club as Moran's.
Gleason pins all his hopes on his two
mainstays Williams is more likely to
fail than the star right handler. Ii he
does Moran will have to throw ava.
a couple of games to lose.
So If there Is one question mark
about the White Sox it seems to hang
on the left arm OF Claud Williams.
