Vamping for
Pity
By MARTHA MACWILLIAMS.

g. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.
When one is frankly tifty-and-some-
thing, with no beauty parlor mitiga
tions, it appears she might reasonably
escape any suspicion of vamping, even
though appearances might be against
her. Mrs. Frances Lane was firmly
of that opinion-and facts disprove it.
In this wise:
She was not impressive-thin, al
most whifetty, indeed, with ash-gray
hair and skin like aged rose leaves,
she was vet somehow distinguished
possibly because Of eyes which con-
tradicted the hair, refusing to be old
or even elderly. For the rest, she had
good taste, good manners, modestly
sufficient income, rather pretty wit,
and a very kind heart. Twenty years
a widow she might several times have
changed her name and estate to great
worldly advantage. That she had re-
Trained spoke no exceptional constancy
to the dead-rather a whimsical joy
III ordering her life strictly according
to her own pleasure.
Her position was so assured. She
refused to be 'in society"-society
even with the capital letter often
entreated her to come out and play
with it. Such times as she went,
swathed and filmy, she never played
walltioWer-if she danced rarely it
was of choice, not necessity. She pre-
ferred dinners to dances for several
reasons, but had vagaries of choice
among them. The Windsors, for ex-
ample, sinfully rich, old and even close
friends, found it next to impossible
tc have her at their big gatherings
because she knew they would
Feature" her-and she Ioathed being
featured. A great man, you see, had
said after encountering her, "She is

WindsorS to keep on being amusing
but the role did not in the least ap-

Power abode with the Windsors-
social, political. financial. They could
make or break-and. being kindly
loved making better than breaking
SO Mrs. Lane, who never pulled Wires
for herself, felt no conjunction
against bringing them in contact with
the young Marshes, who had come
from the provinces, bringing letters to
her from her husbands people An
engaging couple-Well bred and good
to look at. Ambitious, too-Jemmy
at the law, with a slant toward poll
tics. Lucilla at her art-a very fine
art Of cookery. They could be helped
by the Windsors, Mrs. Lane decided
If they could meet she could feel hap
PLY quit of responsibility for them. AT
the small dinner she gave for them
asking only the potential patrons, with
Judge Benton to balance herself
things went so beautifully it was with
a light heart she accepted Nine. Wind
sor's invitation not to a grand spread
but to a particular and intimate dinner
that meant much more.

appeared In that state Of amorous
inebriety that will make love to

last arrivals-sha stood waiting for
the tardy escort, the judge, when
Jenny possessed himself of her
hand, kissed it and said, with Ian
gushing glance: "I've been living
for this all day" She understood
he would ruin everything unless she
threw herself into the breech, sacri~
feed her evening and kept the poor
spud from making pretty spectacle
of himself.
Judge Benton was coming to claim
her-she gave him an entreating look,
laid her hand upon Jemmy's arm and
steered him safely toward the feast
There by dint Of woman's art, she
managed to keep him decently quiet
and so to maneuver that after dinner
he did not leave her.
More than once she sent soul wire
lesses to Lucilla, bidding her keep
heart. Lucilla was dumb and dull.
She would not join the pair, do what
Mrs. Lane might, nor show the least
interest in anything or anybody else
Mrs. Windsor was less obdurate. She
had stared family with pursed lips

FALLEN FROM HIGH ESTATE
Not in Condition to Be
Leader of Herd.

Two of US were resting in the shade at
the end of a portage, taking in the
lOvelineSS of the clear mountain lake
before us, when with not a rustic Of
the herbiage, out popped a deer into
the shadows, not fifty feet from where
we were sitting. 1t was a three-year-
old stag, his antlers still in velvet,
thick and cumbersome, although they
ing at that time. Such a miserably
ragged, thin and forlorn specimen he
was. Evidently he had been badly
injured in some way, one shoulder and
leg dragged badly. We watched him
drink and saw him walk off slowly
across the sandy bOttOmed little bay,
and into the alder swamp on the other
side. He was perfectly dispirited, and
not greatly in love with life just then.
HE has pulled down his flag, poor
chap" l said to my companion as we
resumed our normal breathing after
his disappearance. did you notice
that he did not show his white plumed
tail?" "Well, why should he?" said
my friend. Eyes, why should he?" l
answered. "He is no leader to be fol-
lowed now. Not for him to signal
Press where you see my white plume
gleam,' for he is no safe guide to does
and fawns in his present condition.

tell stories Of back home In voice
that was muslc's own, she thawed Wis
IDLY. Enough to mention the opera
and her boX-though quite vaguely.
!, Even nightmares end, so did this
dreadful evening. Mrs. Lane, her
face hot at thought Of it all, nodded
to her image saying: "Never again.
l am forever done with good deeds;
tired of suffering for my virtues. AS
for the Marshes, l wipe them off the
slate"
She meant it, but fate had trick
of rewriting states. Next day but
one, Lucilla all but forced her way
in, white and drawn of face, her eyes
red with weeping.
"I-have-come to-to give him up
to you," she said without prelude.
Il am going back-as soon as possible.
l will give him his divorce"
Explain, please" Mrs. Lane de-
manded in her great manner. Lu-
ella wept loudly. "You-you can
face me--and say that-when you
have taken-more than my life"
she howled. "And I trusted you-
thought you were safe-and old'
ST am," said Nine Frances, sup
pressing a smile. Then, by dint of
cross-examination that would have
been creditable to Judge Benton, she
got at the truth-Lucilla had taxed
Jenny roundly with his "infatuation"
he had smilingly admitted her
charge-having fortified himself afresh
with long drink of Windsor Scotch
in the dressing room. Then laughing
loudly, he had hidden his weeping one
not to be a fool--the combat thick
ened-after two hours of it he had
whisked out, slamming the door hard
behind him. The rest was blank 81
lenca and emptiness. Lucilla had
stood it as long as possible, then de-
sec nded upon the home-wreesler to
shame her with her own magnanimity.
I'm going to leave a letter to him
with you," she said at the end. Il
don't want to make trouble for him
at the office-and l know he won't
come-home-gulping over the word
-"unless you make him."
Mrs. Lane 40 longer felt like smil-
ing. Indeed, there was a choke in her
throat as she asked: Couldn't you
see the state he was in? And that I
was just playing safe for both of you"
"But-you swapped Judge Benton
for him-I heard the other women
talking how strange it was-he is such
catch, and everybody saying you've
tried to catch him." Lucilla said OBJ
stinately. "Maybe-you couldn't help
it-either of you-but Oh, oh, l wish
I could d-die right now"
Half an hour at the phone brought
results. Judge Benton took the case
he had seen enough to need scant ex-
planation. He rounded up Jenny in
great shape, routing him out of the
hotel where he was drowning his trou-
bles in many hours of solid sleep
which had washed away all memory
Of his emotional lapse. SO when he
was brought to Lucila "like torrents
from a mountain source they rushed
into each others arms" And let US
hope they lived happy ever after

Evil Conditions in Morocco.

The sloth and misery existing
among the men of Morocco strike one
on every hand, and a correspondent
of the Associated Press during a re-
cent tour found evidences everywhere
of the depths to which the natives
have sunk. The men, for instance,
despise labor of any kind for the pur-
pose of making a living. They think
it good, however, for their womenfolk,
and see no Inconsistency in harness
ing their wives to beasts of burden.
At night the men sally forth to rob
in the neighboring settlements, for
they seem incapable of shaking Off
their inbred love of theft. Many of
them, it is said, would murder close
relative for a silver coin, and it is GER
tain that, even in circumstances of
the utmost peril, they will go on thiev-
ing expeditions.
