CHAPTER TIT.

Royal Blondin went straight from most deserted now. Harriet saw him coming. aud she. knew what hour had come. She stood up as he reached her. and they measured each other narrowly. with unsmiling eyes.
 There was reason for her paleness today, and for the faint violet shadows about her beautiful eyes. Harriet had lain awake deep into the night. toss ing and feverish She had always thought that he must come back for years the fear had haunted her at every street crossing. at every ring of Linda'S dOorbell. At first it had been but shiverins apprehension of his claims. m anticipation of what he might expect or want from her. Then came saner time. when she told her self that she was an independent hu- man being as well as he, that she might meet his argument with argu- Inent, and his threat with threat
 But for the past year or two he- iessening thoughts of him had taken new form. Harriet had hoped that when they met again she might be in a position to punish Royal Blondin. to look down at him from heights that even his audacity might not scale.
 That time. sine told herself in the fsve- of the night. had not yet come. Scr ritiful achievements. her beauty, her French and Spanish. her sober book reading. and her little affecta- tions of fine linen and careful speech, mll seemed to cruniple to nothing. She seemed again to be the furious, help less. seventeen-year-Old Harriet of the WatertOwn days. her armor inef- fcctual against that suave and self confident presence.
 She had forced herself to unbind the wrappings, to look at the old wound. She had gone in spirit to that old. shabby parlor to which Linda and Fred had carried Josephine's crib late every night, and where sheet music had cascaded from the upright piano. She saw. with the young husband and wife. fiery. tumble-head girl of fif- teen or sixteen, who helped with her sisters cooking and housework, who adOred the baby, who planned a future on the stage, or as great painter, OF as great writer-the means mat tered not so much that the end was fame and wealth and happiness for Harriet.

school -giriy and romantic and undeyel- oped, is Nina. She Is absolutely inex- perienced; she's what I called her, child. It's--preposterous
 II suppose" the man drawled, "that that is a question for the young lady, and her parents, and myself to decide"
 Harriet bit her lip. This was utterly unexpected. Into her calculations, up to this point. she had taken only Royal Blondin and herself If his words GOV cred any truth, then the matter did not stop there. Nina was involved. and With Nina, Ward and Nina's father and Isabelle
 The complications were endless; her heart sickened before them. And yet, the conviction that Royal dared not betray her had been flooding Harriet's heart with exquisite reassurance dur ing this past half hour. She was safe; her life at Crownlands took on a new and wonderful beauty with that knowl- edge And if she was fit to continue there, Nins's companion, Isebelle's ccntidante, guide and judge for the whole household, could she with any logic warn them against this man?
 He had her trapped, and she saw 1t To threaten his standing was to wreck her own.
 Her eyes looked beyond him darkly; the girl was young and innocent, greedy for flattery, eager to live. What chance had little Nina Carter against charm like his-experience like his?
 .I may never be asked to the house after tomorrow night" said BlOndin. "She won't be here tomorrow night This may be the beginning and end of it. All I ask is that if I am made well come here, on my own merits, you won't interfere! The mere fact that you're living here doesn't mean that you have the moral responsibility of the family on your shoulders, does it?
 "No-o," Harriet admitted, in q troubled tone.
 "Of course not! You live your life, and I mine. Is there anything wrong about thatf"
 You know you would never look at that girl except for her money Roy l'' she burst out.
 "Nor would anyone elsel' he amend ed, suavely.
 Harriet gave distressed laugh.
 Come! You and I never saw each other until this week." Bsondin urged That's the whole story"
 Before she answered, the girl looked beyond him at the splendid stables and lawns of Crownlands. It never lost its charm for her, her castle of dreams; she had longed to be part of just such a household all her life! Now she actually was part of it, and if what Mary Putnam had hinted was true, If her own fleeting suspicion only few evenings ago was true; then she might some day really belong to CrownlandS, in good earnest!

30,OO0 REFUGEES
 PASSING TO WEST
Steady Stream Of Greeks and Ar
 menians Leaving Adrianople

Adrianople, Oct. IT. (By Associated Press)-Thirty thousand Greeks and Armenians have passed from this city to the west since Saturday and the road between here and the Maritza river is an unbroken line of men, women and children with OK carts, cattle and camels.
 Through a steady downpour of rain they are plodding doggedly toward their unknown destinations, driven forward by the nameless fear which has gripped the whole populace Of eastern Thrace since the governments bulletins were posted on Saturday an nouncing the terms of the Mudania armistfce. which provide for occupa- tion by the Turks within 45 days.
 The members of the allied missions stated here declare the extent of the refugee exodus indicates that the Turks upon their entry will find east ern Thrace almost uninhabited.
 Misery Is Extreme.
 The procession has been orderly but the misery of the refugees is al ready extreme and pneumonia will claim many victims if the present in element weather continues. The Am erican in charge of the little Near Eastern relief soup kitchen at the railway junction on the opposite side of the Maritza declared.
 In all my experience l never inn agined such a pitiable sight as the march from Adrianople in the driving rain. Every refugee arrives soaked to the skin with a wagon load Of bed ding flcating in water"
 People Panic stricken.

days of the late Balkan wars hos A. rianople witnessed such scenes. When. on Saturday the Greek clwI authorities attempted to reassure the people by stating that the Turhtph gendarmerie would not arrive for 1t days, the Christian inhabitants dQply refused to believe them.
 Nearly every Christian family l1 Adrianople gathered up all they ceula carry, either on their backs or on or carts, and as soon as possible were od.
 Another Exodus.
 Meanwhile from the countrywide . similar exodus is under way and ev- cry road leading 10 the Maritza tS damned. This whole flood convertss upon single road as 1t approaches the Karagatch bridge across the Mar tza The refugees believe that if they can reach Karngatch they will be safe from the Turks. This small village, which Is just across the boundary will be in neutral territory until the peace Conference decides tts fate.
 Although the railway Is moving : considerable number of refugees west ward from karagatch the station there is becoming the center of vast concentration camp. The rain has flooded all parts of the village tore ing the refugees from the lowland.
 Cattle Are Drowned.
 Many cattle have been drowned by the quickly rising Maritza on the west bank of which thousands of refugees are encamped. Groups of giant drcm- edaries belonging to the army have been assigned to the duty of pulling refugees carts from the mud into higher and safer places.
 Meanwhile Adrianople has taken on the appearance of a deserted city with the shops and houses closed. The Greek and Armenian priests. remain and are doing conspicuous work in assisting the fleeing inhabitants.
 Two Troop Trains.
 Two troop trains leave daily for western Thrace and there is no more talk of resistance among the soldiers although they boast they could have held up the Turks at Chatalja with three divisions and declare they are only leaving because ordered to do 50 by the allies.
 The first French attachments of the allied troops of occupation arrived yesterday.

 ONE OF OURS, by Villa s. Gather,
 One of Ours is book which must be read. It is a book which 1t would be an insult to give facile and unbalanced praise. It Is book for discussion. And one reviewer, at least, will rejoice if he be convinced by more competent discriminations that One of Ours is not only as good as he thinks but incomparably better. There are books which it is joy to attack; lying books mawkish books, pretentious dull books, the books which stir a regrettabe but natural spirit of deviltry, desire to torture the authors, and desire to keep people from reading them. One of Ours is quite the opposite. It makes the reader, for moment Of modesty, hope more from its success than for the authority of his own judgment. ."-Literary Review. TIMBER, by H. Titus.
