"A TERRIBLE BLOW"

Synopsia-H Harriet Field. twenty
eight years old. and beautiful, is
the social secretary of the fiirta-
tious Mrs. Isabel Carter, at
"Crownlands." Richard Carter's
home, and governess of seventeen
year-old Nina Carter. Ward twen-
ty-four years old and impression
able, fancies himself in love with
his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carter's latest affair" is with
young Anthony Pope, and the
youth is taking 1t very seriously.
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundly disturbed by the arrival of
a visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at a tea party In the city.
Blondon makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance OF Blondin at "Crownlands"
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element In
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
nounces to Harriet his intention OF
marrying Nina, and urges her to
aid him. She Is in a sense In his
power, and after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow a policy of neutrality.
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired in Ward Carter, Harriet
is tempted to marry him for the
position and wealth he can give
her. though realizing she does not
love him, Blondin has ingratiated
himself with Madame Carter, Rich
ards mother, and she is whole
heartedly in favor of his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.
Mrs. Carter elopes with Pope. Blon-
din threatens Harriet. She prays
to do what is right.

Now, / don't know how he feels to
Nina, or she to him, but as you know,
she will come into her uncle's fortune

who is myself, decides to defer pay
ment for another three years. mere

there are conditions under which

that brought him into that connection

II didn't know of that" Harriet ex-
claimed, in such obvious relief that
the man smiled involuntarily.
"Then you agree with me?" he
asked, eagerly.
Here In the somber sweetness of the
library, with the man she admired and
respected above all others looking to
her for confidence and counsel, what
could she say? Even had Royal Blon-
din been present, Harriet might have
cast every secondary consideration to
the winds as readily. AS 1t was, she
could only tell him the truth.
ooh, yes-yes! told Ward that l
would rather see Nina deadw
"Why do you say so?" Richard
asked. "Now, I'll tell you why do"
he added, as Harriet was, not unnatu

Ing extremely bad in it-he seems to
be a gentleman adventurer. l don't
want him mixed up with my family.
I'm going to speak to Ward about it,
warn him that his sisters happiness
mustn't be risked by having the fellow
about at all. You're tired" said
Richard, abruptly.
Indeed Pm not !" the girl protested,
with white lips.
"You don't imagine the man is seri-
ous?" Richard asked, alarmed by her
manner.
II don't know" Harriet answered
at random. They've-they've hardly
known each other three weeksl"

No time to think-no time to trim
her course. Harriet must plunge
bIlndly ahead now.
''Mr. Carter, would you-if you
think wise-give your mother hint
Of this? Madame Carter is romantic,
you know"
"Oh, certainly! Certainly" he said,
approvingly. "I'll speak to her. We
must keep Nina little girl this sum

in the pleasant voice. But it brought

all Harrlets world now.
Miss Field, / may say here and
now that IL Is an unmixed privilege,

said, simply, that my daughter, and
my son, too, for the matter of that,

influence. and your example, at this
time. | have never been unapprecia-

The secretary's shining head dropped.
and she rested her elbow on the table,
and pressed white hand tight across
her eyes for a moment of silence.
When she faced him again her face
was little pale, and her magnificent
eyes heavy with tears.
II love all the Carriers" she said
simply. II only wish / were-half

And without another word she stood
up, folded into a tiny oblong the pa
per upon which she had been making
a few notes, and went slowly to the
library door. More deeply stirred

her passionate girlhood, she turned on
the threshold for a look Of farewell.
But Richard Carter had left the desk,
and was kneeling on one knee before
his safe; he had forgotten her. Har-
riet went across the hall, mounted the
stairs, and found her own room. She
was hardly conscious Of what she was
doing or thinking.
ooh, what shall I do?" she whis-
pered. "He trusts me to protect her !!
Oh, why didn't 1.-THE moment knew

her knees beside the bed, "You know

tect the grill You know how l have
chosen what was fine and good, all
these years, how l have longed for an
opportunity TO be useful and happy !!
Don't let him come into my life again,
and spoil it again. Don't let Richard
Carter lose faith In me, and despise

CONVENTION WILL
OPEN ON MARCH 8

According to an announcement
made yesterday by L. II. Hutchin-
son, county recorder of Cochise
county and secretary of the State
Association of Recorders, the annual
convention of the association will be
held in Nogales on March Q, 10 and
IL. The session will close with a
banquet on Satui gay night, March IL.
One of the most important ques-
tions to be considered by the re-
corders at their annual meeting viii
be that of registration of voters for
the coming state election. Miss
Edith NJ. Jacobs, county recorder OF
Maricopa county, has asked w. j.
Galbraith, attorney general. to give
an opinion on the question OF chang
ing party affiliation after the voter
has once registered Mr.. Galbraith
has advised Miss Jacobs he will give
ruling on the question in the next
few days in order that the matter
can be taken UP at the annual meet
ing.
The law governing the registering
of voters has been construed dlfter-
emily by each of the recorders III the
past with the result that the regis
tration of voters is not uniform over
the state. Especially is this true of
the changing of party affiliation,
some of the recorders permitting the
registrant to change his party after
he has once registered and others
ruling that the change could not be
made.
other matters pertaining to the
work of the recorders will be dis
cussed at the session.
