cealment and made his sudden leap
into the car Darrow's arrest would
have remained shrouded in mystery.
But the stir and hustle Tom caused
had attracted Darrow's Attention.
There was nothing to be gained by
reproaches--either from me or from
Tom to himself.
You managed splendidly," I went
on. I'm tremendously grateful"
Il made a darn fool of myself
sputtered Tom. The worst of II is
that it's all due to my not having

The car slid into second and slowed

I've let you in for danger. for a

afraid. Poor little girl, you do keep
a stiff upper lip"
His hand closed over mine. and I
felt myself grow rigid as my old dis.
taste for him and his way for the
ladies' swept over me. Before l had
time to frame rebuff which would
have been cruel and ungracious In
view of all the circumstances, the
Limousine door opened, and Lyons,
forgetting all his traditions of re.

we don't need worry about him"

plenty Of them that's doing time

You two! Stop worrying about

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
To Keep a Friendship.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
r AM nineteen and going about
with a man of twenty.three
- whom / met five months ago.
We are always together and our
friends seem to understand that
we are engaged. But 1t Is
not so. We recently campo
to an understanding that we
are going TO be friends. He
says he cares for my friendship and
I am his only girl friend, while l in
the meantime am learning to care
for him. What can do not to show
my feelings? / do not want to
refuse his invitations. HELEN.
What you really mean is: How
can l make him fall in love with
me?" You probably can't work any
better magic than that of proving
yourself a fine, reliable friend. The
liking the man has for you, plus the
habit of being with you and coming
to depend on your understanding
and tenderness, are likely to cause
him to care as you do if you don't
spoil II by trying to rush matters.
You can control your feelings If you
desire.

lFE had been strange thlnC
lately. Philip kept cut OF her

lnanded his presence. She did not
know how he spent his time, and

DRY to Philip. Though the bruise
had faded from his wifes cheek
whenever he look at her he seemed
to see IL still.
He had never asked what had
made her change her mind about
leaving him, but in mis- heart he
knew IT must have been Calligan's
influence.
Though outwardly the two men
were the same to one another. the
old friendship no longer really ex-
listed. A thousand times it was on
Phillips lips 10 forbid Calligan the
house, but something always pre-
vented him.
He knew that Eva's tolerance
toward himself was worn to a
thread, and he had long since
given up all hope of a reconcilia-
ton with her.
His vision was too distorted by
jealousy to recognize that Calligan
was still the best friend he had
that 1t was Calligan, time AMI
again, who had stepped into the
breach and averted utter disaster
But Eva knew how much she
had tor which to thank this man;
knew that 1t was only the knowl
edge OF his presence and faithful
friendship that saved her from

Peter nodded. He was thinking
