added, cycling herself gIoomily In her

absolutely at a loss for amusementP r
"And I'll be down presently" Har-
riet said. But when Nina was gone
she walked slowly to her " dress
ing table, and sat down, and regarded
herself steadily, and with heavy eyes.
Unexpectedly, here between the fAm-
lily dinner and the early going to bed,
on q June evening, q crisis In her life
was confronting her, and she knew
that she must meet II. il 4
Wards guest was only the young
Saunders boy, who had been with
them constantly last summer, and who
was Of absolutely no Significance IA
their lives. And yet Harriet had been
introduced to him all over again as
Mrs. Carter"-there was no halfway,
in the eyes Of the world at least, In
this relationship of hers with Richard,
and she must begin to take her place
in the family.
Mrs. Carter" Harriet loved that
distinction as If the title, the sigma
ture, and the dignity had never been
vouchsafed to womankind before. She
had marveled at her old self, that had
taken "Miss" and Mrs" with cheer
full INDEPENDENTLY, there was q
worldwide chasm between the two!
Just to have this silly Saunders boy
call her Mrs. Carter, as a matter OF
course, was to receive the accolade
that gave her all her longed-for
dreams in one. 1t was the name Of
the man she loved, and, even though
tn a shadowy and unloved way, she
liked the title that made her bis.
And now she owed him the truth,
the whole, painful, humiliating story.
If she had told him months ago, so
much the better and drawer woman
she! She had not done so; she had
been fighting Nina and his mother
then; she had been afraid. But she
was not afraid now; he could forgive
that long-ago girl of seventeen be-
cause her advocate was the woman of
twenty-eight, the finished, cultivated,
capable woman who had served him
and his house, who must win his re-
spect back because she loved him with
every fiber Of her being.

The words in which she would tell
him came to her In a rush. Why-it
was nothing! 1t was less than moth
ing. In half an hour she would be
back here in her room again, with all
the. past clean and straight at last,
with the cloud gone, and with her
whole soul singing with hope of the
glorious future. For a moment she
knelt by her bed, her face in her
hands.
She rose to her feet. There was a
tap at the door.

rose and faced her, too.
And when Harriet saw him she
knew that she was too late. It was
Royal Blondin. H.

her as she went slowly to the chair
opposite Richard. She touched the
desk for support as she sat down, and
felt that her fingers were cold and
wet. g. : t.
"Mr. Blondin has come to talk to-

Royal Blondin presently came to pay
his respects to Harriet In her changed
position. Nina had told her that. he
had been forbidden the house, in De-
cember; they had een him only two or
three times since their return from
Bermuda. and then accidentally. Har-
rtet was thankful to believe the affair
between him and Nina well over. The
girl was growing up now, there were
other men in her world, and for the
list Of her eighteenth birthday party
she had merely mentioned his name
among others. 81, -
Three days before the garden party
that was to mark the girls anniversary
Royal drifted in with the assurance
that was quite characteristic Of him.
He rarely accepted an invitation, or
waited for one Perhaps he was clever
enough to know that half his acQuaint-
ances detested him theoretically, but
were glad. to have him about. Nina
and Harriet came In from an after
noon at the club to find him playing
with languid hands at the piano, and
he lazily rose to greet them. While
Nina was there, his attitude toward
both was pleasantly impersonal, but
his suggestion, which vas more like q
command, that she run upstairs and
dress early, 80 that they might have
a talk before dinner, sent the girl fly
ing, and he and Harriet could speak
more freely.

"You know that I think SO! she said,
Blondin laughed.
"And now, MIR. Blondin, you Will
kindly leave my houser' said Richard.
The other man was watching Har-
rtet, with a menace in his narrowed
eyes. White lines had drawn them
selves about his tightly closed lips,
yet he was smiling. He had lost the
game, truly, but she knew he would
play his last card, just the same. The
suavity, the calm OF years fell from
him, and his voice deepened into q
sort of cold and quiet fury as he said:

He had shot the phrases at her with
a distinctness almost violent. Now
his dry voice stopped, but his swift
venomous look went from the silent
man at the desk to the silent woman
who stood before him. Before either
moved or spoke he spoke again.

w'arbling of their INSTRUCTORS"
The breeders chief difficulty was
at first found in the fact that nor
mally nightingales sing only during
two months OF thei year, and-his pur-
poses required a longer uninterrupted
period of instruction for the canaries.
He was finally successful in chang
ing the moullting, or non-singing pc
riod OF certain nightingales so that
some sang from May to July, Others
from June TO August, and still 9th
ers from August to October.
Using these birds he kept newly
matched canaries continually within
hearing Of their warliing. Several
generations OF breeding showed that
birds reared from the original stud
ents instinctively possessed the night
ingale MARBLE, and that Constructors
could be dispensed with for the off
spring except for polishing off their
singing
