CHAPTER VIII.

Sudden peace and confidence flooded
her spirit. She sat on, dreaming and
planning, but with no more mental dis
tress. With the prayer she had gained,

spect. She would not let him brighten

either," Harriet decided, going In
stiff and cold, but full of resolution
She looked at a clock-it was almost
four. Three hours sleep was not to be
despised, but Harriet was in no mood
for 1t. Instead she took bath, and
lust as the dawn was beginning to flood
the world with mysterious half-lights
and long wet shadows, she crept out
into the dew-drenched garden and, with
a triumphant sense of being alone
went into the wood. Early walks

-Royal-Richard. The
wearying procession began again. Roy
al might treat her with honesty and
honor. He was not small in everything,
and she had never done him harm.
But-there might come the terrible mo
ment when she had to face Richard
with the confession. Yes, she had
known him before. Yes, they had en-
tered into tacit compact. Yes. she
had kept from Nina's father n secret
that, while 1t might be unimportant,
certainly should have been told him.
Impossible TO think the thing to any
conclusion! Too many possibilities

If she had committed herself irrevoca-
bly, to deception by marriage? Wards
young, crude intolerance sitting in
judgment upon his wife Harriet
| shivered.
Suddenly she fell upon her knees,
and dropped her bright head against
the wide balustrade. For long time
Harriet had not prayed. But now, IN
a few words, and quite without pre-
meditation, there burst from her the
most sincere prayer of her life. She
looked up at the stars.
"GOdr' she said, softly, aloud, "hell
me. Make me do what is right, how
ever hard it is. Father, don't let me
make another mistake"

WHEN ETIQUETTE WAS RIGID
Man of Fashion, a Century or So Ago,
Had Many Difficulties to Con-
tend With.

Women considered it unladylike In
grandmother's day TO walk rapidly. Ex-
trernely rapid walking is not usually
graceful, but so far as being sign
of bad breeding there seems TO be no
such idea nowadays. If woman has
to cover a certain distance on foot In
a limited time nowadays she acceler-
ateS her pace accordingly. 1t is I'M
comfortable, but hardly bad manners.
The man Of fashion had many more
difficulties TO encounter in going about
in society than he has now when draw
ing room furniture is more substantial
and when there are neither hoopskirts
nor trains to become tangled In ones
boots or spurs. A hundred years ago.
observes a writer In the New York Sun,

ago, describes the plight Of the awk-
ward fellow who, when he first comes
into a drawing room, attempts to bow,
with the result that 'his sword, II he
wears one, goes between his fegs and
nearly throws him down." and proceeds
from one gaucherie TO another during
his presence in a drawing room. A
great deal used to be said about the
manner I'm which a young man sat in
a chair. To sit up stiffly was to in
dictate awkwardness and timidity. To
Toll back was rude and indicated vul-
garity. He was. therefore, urged to
lean with elegance" against the back
and arms of his chair and by varying
his attitude from time to time show
he was used TO good society"

friends-having a beautiful time, too,
apparently.
Perhaps Nina suspected that some
thing was unusual. She looked from
her father TO Harriet. and after a
mOment's silence asked abruptly:
"When is Mother coming back?"

swered, quickly.
"Say. listen; are we going TO dress?"
asked Amy. Nina, instantly diverted,
suggested that they go in. Nina's
awkward bigness and Amy's mousy
neutral tones were as well displayed
in one garment as another, but both
girls debated over pinks and blues,
crepes and mulls, every evening as
if the world was watching them alone.
Harriet fingered for only a word.
"Mr. Carter, it occurred to me that
old Mrs. Singleton is going To Cali
fOrnia. in her own car, tomorrow.
/ was wondering if we might con-
fide In Mrs. SingletOn-she was al
ways very fond of Mrs. Carter-and
give out the impression that Mrs. Car

trip with her"
That's an idea" Richard said
! thoughtfully. 81 could see Mrs. Sin

at might serve for only few
days" Harriet submitted.
"Yes. see" he agreed, slowly.
"Well. / can give Nina a hint now"
Harriet said. going.
But ii was too late for any soothing

could see the big letters: "Youn.

many kisses.

Harriet had an upsetting vision OF
stout. high-busted Mrs. Hawkes., pant
ing as she discussed the details of the
Red Cross drive, but she was very
sympathetic with the young girls, and
even agreed with Nina, when Amy was
gone, that it would be much more SEN
sible to take her bath, and put on her
white organdie. and then go find her
father.
They dined almost silently, and were
about to disperse quietly for the night,
after an hour of half-hearted CONVERSE
ton In the drawing room, OBVIOUSLY
endured by Richard simply for his
mothers sake, when Ward burst In.
He had travelled almost four hundred
miles by motor that day. his face was
streaked with dirt and oil, and CHASTITY

her without furnishing himself. and
could not Danish her from Crownlands

CHAPTER XVII
Into the Hand, Of His Enemy,

Durand waited alone for word to be
Mashed him that the debt he owed
CLAY Lindsay had been settled In full
A telephone lay on the desk close at
hand and beside 1t was a watch. The
secondhand licked its way jerkily
round and round the circle. Except
for that the stiffness weighed on him
unbearably. He paced up and down
the room chewing nervously the end of
en- unlit cigar. For the good tidings
which he was anxious to hear was
news of the death OF the strong young
enemy who had beaten him at every
turn.
why didn't Collins get TO the tele-
phone7 Was 1t possible that there had
been a slip-up, that Lindsay had again
broken the trap set for him? Had
aS1im's" nerve failed him3 Or had
Bromfield been unable to bring the vic
tim to the slaughterP
His mind went over the details again.
The thing had been well planned even
TO the unguarded door through which
Collins was to escape. In the darkness

away along with Dave. and be safe
from any chance Of identification.
Bronfield, to save his own hide, would

prepared to shift the murder upon his
shoulders.
The minute-hand Of the watch passed
Gown from the quarter to the half and
from the half to the three-quarfers.
St,ll the telephone bell did not ring.
The gang leader began to sweat blood.
Had some one bunsIed after all the

the driver, turned corner and passed
into an apartment house for bachelors.
He took the elevator 20 the third floor
and rang an electric bell at a door
which carried the name "Mr. Claren-
don Bromfeld."
From the man who came to the door
Mr.. Bromfeld's visitor learned that he
was not well and could receive no
callers.
"Just mention the Omnium club,
and say I'm here on very important
business said Jerrsy with sour grin.
The reference served as password.
Jerry was admitted to meet host
quite unable to control his alarm. At
sight of his visitor Bromfield jumped
up angrily. AS soon as his man had
gone he broke out In subdued
scream.
"You rotten traitor Get out Of my
room, or I'll call the police"
Durand found comfortable chair,
drew case from his pocket and Sc
lected a cigar. He grinned with evil
mirth.
'You will, Ell? Like hi you will
You're hidip' from the cops this
blessed minute. I've just found out
myself where you i've"
''You took my money and threw me
down. You hired gunman to kill

'sNow, what would do that for?

"That id ruffian shot at me. He
was still shooting when I struck him
with the chair" cried Bromfeld, his
voice shaking.
