GEAR with rompiacency having lbs tI'
tampts in that direction greeted with
ridicuIe. And ridicule was about all
that Williams attempts at being
bold bad man resulted in.
That is from the public. Clara did
not ridicule him, but she heard others
do so and il soon became painfully
obvious TO him that she regarded his
manifestations IN anything but a Sc
rious light-that she still saw in him
nothing 70 satisfy her desire for
martyrdom In despair William took
counsel with Charley Fosdick with
whom William had had no relations
at all until having resolved upon a
criminal career, he began cultiyating
him In the hope Of getting points. With
all his faults Charley was a g0od-na-
tured chap, close-mouthed and safe to
condde in. William" said Charley,
''as a dead game sport you are rank
failure. AS TO this sporting life, be-
lieve me there's nothing in It," And
then William told his story and from
uncanny store of worldly wisdom,
Charley handed out the required pre-
scriptlon.
There was a church lawn party soon
after this and at IL William, while
not absolutely neglecting' Clara Now
bray, bought two plates Of ice cream
for Maybel Harris to one that he
bought for Clara. Maybell was live
ly young thing with bobbed hair
lively and fond of attention. She was
as surprised as delighted when Will
liam took notice of her and paraded
him about the grounds as a new con-
quest.
Clara made sneering remarks about
her the next time William called, but
before he left she had played and
sung for him his favorite song, thine
Eyes SO Blue and Tender" and alto
gether seemed more like her old self.
Not long after Clara heard that VIII
liam had taken Maybell to dance.
When he next called there was scene.
Tears, reproaches, take back your
ring" and all that sort of thing.
But, Clara protested William, II
don't care a snap for Maybell Harris.
You are the only one l care for, but
you seemed to think that somehow
was inadequate, And | can't be
sport-that's all there is to IT."
"Oh, william" Sobbed Clara. "what
a strange idea. | don't want you to

perplexed and had sense of personal
injury. Here she was ready to per-
form a great and noble action and the
material Mt hand for performing it
utterly inadequate. 1t was all very
trying-and 1t was all Williams fault.
When William called that night as per
schedule Clara could not avoid show
ing her irritation at his impeccabil-
ity by certain vague hints and inuen-
loes--all Of which greatly astonished
William. Then she introduced the
subject Of Hannah Sprague and John
Eilllnghast, repeating as original the
remarks made by her mother and Mrs
Blake.
An she sighed. mot every woman

Hannah Sprague did" William caught
the note of envy ~nd discomfort in

"Of course | don't want you to be

a touch Of insincerity in the dlsclalm-
er which William perceived and as he
walked homeward that night he
thought: Women certainly are Gu

take sometimes; but one thing-.they
soon get over them"
But Clara did not so soon get over
her notion. The courtship went on,
OF course, but there was always that
undercurrent which made William

life to turning the heather from his
