 But 1t was too late for any soothing deception of Nina. A scene was in full progress in Nina's bedroom, and Harriet's eye had only to go from the prone form on the bed to the crushed newspaper that had drifted to the floor. to know that the secret was out. Isabelle's face. radiant and hap py, looked out from the page. It was fanked by two smaller pictures, Rich ards and Anthony Popes. Harriet could see the big letters: "Young Millionaire-Wifeo of Richard Carter" The deluge was upon them.
 "Oh-it's a lie-it's lie, My beau tiful little mother!' Nina was sob bing. "Oh. mo- it's not true It's q lie. Oh. how shall I ever hold up my head again-to be disgraced-now just when I'm so young-and ha-h- happy"
 "Nina. my child. control yourself !" Harriet. ignoring the staring and pale faced Amy, sat down on the edge of the bed, and shook the girl slightly. You mustn't give wayl Come now. my dear. you must face this like a woman. Think how your father and Ward will look to you"

 "Yes, that's true" she said. wiping q swollen face on the handkerchief Harriet supplied. But oh-I don't be lieve 1t, and my father will sue them for libel. you see if he doesn't. My mothers the purest and sweetest and best woman alive-and I'll kill any one who says any different, '"

 "Sh-shi" By the magic only known to youth and womanhood Har- riet had gathered herself into trim ness and calm again. She took her parasol composedly. Her eyes told him the whole story. Nina and Royal Blondin were two hundred feet away, coming up from the tennis court.
 "You fool-fool-fool '" she said to herself. What had they seen? What ACW lWASl lO tHC WOuiu Nina's suspicious afford? Richard Carter trusted her; this was no time to tell him that she loved his son. Did she love Ward?-or with his keen and kindly eyes would Wards father see exactly what she saw in the mar riage?

How she had Hsked-her heart contracted with Iain-severing of her association with Crownlands.
 Luncheon, under its veneer of gaiety and foolishness. offered fresh terrors. For old Madame Carter had come down, and 1t occurred to Harriet that if Nina had seen anything fin the wood, she might naturally interest her grandmother with an account of 1t. The old lady would go instantly to her son. And Richard-Harriet could imagine him. tired, harassed. heartsick over the recent inexplicable weakness of his wife, having to face another woman's treachery. having to listen to the demure announcement of the little secretary's engagement to his son.
 He was experiencing the most over- whelming shock of all his life now: he must shortly be exposed to all the whirl of scandal: the silenced gossip. the averted eyes of his world, the weeklies with their muddy insinua- tions, the staring fact headlined above his breakfast bacon.

One of the greatest enemies OF the

Engine Seat of Trouble.
The engine is the seat of the greater
part of the unnecessary noises that
seem inevitable in the operation of the
car. The commoneSt engine noises ar"
valve clicks and slaps. both of which
NAV be detected by the rhythmlcal
regularity of their occurrence.
The reason for noisy. gear operation
is too great clearance between the
valve and it's seat. In the ease of over
head valves too great clearance he
tween litter and push rod will cause
the trouble. The remedy Is obviously
the reduction of the clearance to the
correct distance and this work should

because of the expansion of metal
when heated. in which condition the
valves necessarily run.
While the valve system is the com

this trouble may be looked for. The
bearings in most engines are of soft
metal, which must he kept copiously
