ever, he spoke.

''Well, look here" he urged, help
less but to repeat. You don't haf TO
believe whatever it was she went and
told you, do you?"
"What was it you think she told
NE. Herbert?"
"All that guff-you know. Well,
whatever it was you said she told
you"
II didn't" said Florence. 81 didn't
say she told me anything at ALL"
"WelI, she did, didn't she?"
'Why, no." Florence replied, light
ly. 'She didn't say anything to me.
Only I'm glad to have your opinion
of her, how she's such a story-teller
and all-if 1 ever want to tell her,
and everythingw
But Herbert had greater alarms than
this, and the greater obscured the
lesser. Look here" he said. "if she
didn't tell you, how'd you know it,
then?"
| i'How'd I know what?"
"That-that big story about my ever
sayin' knew I had"-he gulped again
pretty eyes,"
"Oh, about that" Florence said and
swung the gate shut between them.
"Well, I guess it's too late to tell you
tonight, Herbert; but maybe if you
and that nasty little Henry Rooter do
every single thing l tell you to, and
do it just exackly like tell you from
this time on, why maybe-I only say
'maybe'-well, maybe I'll tell you
some day when l feel like it."
She ran up the path, up the steps,,
and crossed the veranda, but paused
before opening the door. Then she
called back to the waiting Herbert
'The only person I'd even think of
| telling about it before tell you would
be boy l know" She coughed, and
added as by an after-thought. He'd
just love TO know all about it; I know
he would So, when 1 tell anybody
about it I'll only tell just you and this
other boy"
"What other boy?" Herbert de-
manded.
And her reply, thrilling through the
darkness, left him paralytic with hor-
ror. "Wallie Torbin!"
The next afternoon, about four
o'clock, Herbert stood gloomily at the
main entrance of Atwater & Rooter's
newspaper building, awaiting his part

only nailed fast, but massively bar
ricaded; and this one Consisting of

thing, strange yet common to most
We seldom realize that the people
whose derision we fear may have been
as imprudent as we have been.
Therefore, it was in a fiurried state
of mind that Herbert waited; and
when his friend appeared, over the
fence, his perturbation was not de-
creased. He even failed to notice the
unusual gravity of Henry's manner
Hello, Henry; 1 thought l wouldn't
start in work till you got here. didn't
want to haf to come all the way
downstairs again to open the door
and hist our good ole plank up
again."
Il see," said Henry, glancing ner-
vously at their good ole plank "Well,
1 guess. Florence1l never get in this
good ole door-that is, If we don't
let her, or something"
This final clause would have sur
prised Herbert If he had been less pre-
occupied with his troubles. "You bet
she won't!" he said mechanically.
AoiC NOulOlA ever get Ill mere dSdlu-
| if the family didn't go intafering
around and give me the dickens and
everything, because they think-they
say they do, anyhow-they say they
think-they think"
He paused, Disgusting a little choke
as a cough of scorn for the family's
| thinking.
"Wha, did you say your family
think?" Henry asked absently.
"Well, they say we ought to let her
have a share in our newspaper"
Again he paused, afraid to continue
lest his hypocrisy appear so barefaced
as to lead toward suspicion and dis
| covery. "Well, maybe we ought" he
said, his eyes guiltily upon his toe,
which slowly scuffed the ground 81
don't say we ought, and l don't say
we Oughtn't."
| He expected at least a burst of out
ragged protest from his partner, who,
on the contrary, pleasantly astonished
him. "Well, that's the way 1 look at
it." Henry said. 81 don't say we ought,
and l don't say we oughtn't."
And he, likewise, stared at the toe
of his own right shoe, which was also
scufing the ground. Herbert felt
| little better; this subdivision of his
difficulties seemed to be working out
with surprising ease.

sACHET CASE is NICE GIFT
Dainty Article Suitable for Christmas
Season May Be Pinned to
Lining of the Hat.

A set of sachet cases that may be
slipped into the lining of a dainty
frock, or pinned, by its accompany
ing tiny gold safety pin, to the lining
of the dainty girls hat, are always
acceptable accessories.
Varying shades, such as violet,
green, salmon, blue and lemon, make
dainty combination of colors to be-
gin with. Small ends of ribbon may
be utilized for their making or odd
bits of satin. The ribbon is folded
once, to form a rectangle about three
inches in length, and stitched together
at the sides. A strip of fiat wadding
is sprinkled with the sachet powder,
inserted into the fiat ribbon case and
the top stitched close with very small
silk stitches. A tiny gold safety pin
may be caught into the top of each
so that the little sachet case is ready
for wardrobe use at once.

the ancient carriage-house doors, open
ing upon a driveway through the
yard) had recently been made effec-
tive as an instrument of exclusion.
A long and heavy plank leaned against
the wall, near by, ready to be set in
hook-shaped iron supports fastened to
the inner sides of the doors; and
when the doors were closed, with this
great plank in place, a person inside
the building might seem entitled to
count upon the enjoyment of privacy,
except in case of earthquake, tornado,
or fire. In fact, the size of the plank
and the substantial quality of the iron
fastenings, could be looked upon,
from a certain viewpoint, as a heart
felt compliment to the energy and per-
sistence of Florence Atwater.
Herbert had been in no compli-
when he devised the Instructions, nor
was he now in such a frame of mind
He was deeply pessimistic in regard
to his future, and also embarrassed in
anticipation of some explanations it
would be necessary to make to his
partner. He strongly hoped that
Henry's regular after-schoOl appear
ance at the newspaper building would
precede Florence's, because these ex-
plantations required both deliberation
and tact, and he was convinced that
1t would be almost impossible to make
them at all if Florence got there first.
He understood that he was unfor-
tunately within her power; and he
saw that it would be dangerous to
place in operation for her exclusion
from the building this new mechanism
contrived with such hopeful care, and
at a cost of two dollars and twenty
five cents. or nine annual subscrip-
tions to the Oriole out of a present
total of thirty-twO. What he wished
Henry to believe was that for some
good reason, which Herbert had not
yet been able to invent, it would be
better to show Florence a little po-
likeness. He had a desperate hope
that ne might find some diplomatic
way to prevail on Henry to be as sub
servient to Florence as she had
seemed to demand, and he was deter
mined to touch any extremity of I'M
veracity rather than permit the de-
tails of his answer in Truth" to come

"MISSING" MAN WAS CONVICT
Long Mourned as Dead, English
Woman Learns Her Husband Had
Served Prison Sentence.

Many people, doubtless, disappear"
for reasons of their own. Debt,
crime or some other hidden page in
their apparently blameless lives may
be the real reason for their going.
Little did the wife of a Manchester
man know into what terrible entangle-
ment her husband had got ten years
before. He was thought to be a re-
spectacle merchant; his home life was
happy and blameless.
One day he went out to buy a news
paper and returned no more.
For years his wife mourned him as
dead, until one day during the war he
came back. He was now a soldier, but
his disappearance was explained by
the fact that, under another name and
in another town, he had been carry
ing on a fraudulent stock and share
office-a "bucket-shop"-and had been
arrested and sentenced to long term.
He was released during the war, and
while serving in France had thought
of the once happy wife he had so
misled. Hence his sudden reappear-
ance to a world which had almost for.
gotten him.-LOndon Answers.

If the edges of your rug or carpet
