youth from the hall-porter's office
put a package into my hand which
had just been left by a messenger. l
opened it and found half a dozen
familiar morocco cases. A portion
OF the jewelry. which I had never
thought to see again, was in my
hands. 1t was now clear to me that
my husband had either already re-
turned or was on the point Of doing
so. and that my help was needed.
Nevertheless three days went by
without a sign or message from any
body, three days during which I lived
after the fashion of a cat, curled up
in warmth and luxury, clinging to
the feel of my clothes, reveling in
the perfumes Of my bath. eating
good food and drinking wine with
slow but careful appreciation. I felt
the life revive in ne, the blood flow
once more through my veiaS. Dur
ing those three days nothing in this
world would have driven me back to
my poverty. would have commit
ted almos, any crime rather than re-
turn to it,

that I would dine with him at any
restaurant he liked, but not in
Charges Street, and that he could
call for me at eigAt o'clock.
AT half-past three that afternoon I
received the invitation which I had
been expecting, and at four o'clock
I stepped out of a taxicab and en-
tered the Offices of a firm Of solicit
tors Situated in a quiet square near
Lincoln's Inn. An ofice-boy rose up
from behind a worm-eaten desk and
invited me to seat myself on a hard
wooden chair while he disappeared
in search of Mr.. YounghusRand, the
principal partner in the firm. The
office was decorated by rows Of
musty files, and a iD6Mpf bills CON
tanning particulars Of fyoperty sales,
the solicitor in each case being the
firm Of Younghusband, Nicholson
land Younghusband. After a few
minutes delay, the boy summoned
me and held open a door on the
other side Of the passage.
Mr. Younghusband will see you,
madam" he announced.
The door was closed behind me,
and 1 shook han = with tall, elder
ly man who rose o welcome me in
somewhat distracted fashion. He
was untidily but professionally
dressed. He wore old-fashioned
steel-rimmed spectacles, reposing at
the present moment on his forehead.
The shape of his collar and the fash
ion Of his tie belonged to a bygoue
generation. There We're rows OF tin
boxes extending to the ceiling, a
library Of law-books, and his table
was Uttered with papers.

ON the fourth day I met Norman
y Greyes. I was leaving a hair
dresser's in Curzon Street when
he rounded the corner of Charges
Street. carrying bag of golf-clubs
and evidently looking for taXicab
was within a foot or two of him
before he recognized me. was con
scious OF a keen and peculiar thrill
of pleasure as l saw something flash
into his stern, unimpressive face.
Enemies though we were, he was
glad to see me.
Good morning, Sir Norman" I
said, holding out my hand. Are
there no more criminals left in the
world, that you take holiday"
He smiled and put his clubs
through the open window of a taxi
cab which had just drawn up by the
side of the curb.
Il am tired Of hunting criminals, :"
he confessed. Besides, they are
turning the tables. They are hunt
ing me-"
"Indeed?' I answered. That
sounds as though my husband We're
coming back"
There are rumors of it," he adj
mitted. Are you staying near
here?"

Court" I told him. why not have
me watched? If he does come back,
I am sure I am one of the first peo-
pie he would want to visit"
TT is wonderful idea," he
agreed, with a peculiar CLEAN in his
keen. gray eyes. Il would rather
bride you, though, to give him up"
How much?" I asked. 'IIe has
treated me very badly lately"
Dine with me tonight" he sug-
gested, and we will discuss it."
Il shall be charmed" I assented
boldly.
"At my rooms" he suggested,

oclock?"

SHOWING VALUE
OF FARM BUREAUS.

In a spirit of optimism and an
attitude Of genuine satisfaction
farmers and business men through
out the country are expressing
their appreciation of the work
done by farm bureaus wherever
these organizations have been es-
tablished.
One act alone that farm bureaus
have been instrumental in putting
over is worthy of their organiza-
tion-the forming of cooperative
marketing associations. In start
ing soil building programs in every
county, farm bureaus are also do
ing a great constructive work of
much value to every farmer. Mem
bership in the farm bureau being
a family proposition, one can ex-
pect some real accomplishments
along specialized lines such as bet
ter preparation, more thorough
cultivation, more good livestock
and legislation favorable to the
furthering Of agriculture and its
needs.
IT is well known that those who
are not members of the farm bu-
reau have been benefited by it,
They have not benefited to the
extent of the members but as in
every other case the cooperative
association has raised the price
level and the outsider profited
thereby. They have received bet
ter grades, lower interest rates on
money borrowed, and near the
market prices for their products.
TO these things the thousands of
members will testify.
The good done by the farm bu-
reaus is only a drop in the buck
ct to what remains for them to
do. The farmer is; soon to come
into his own. Organization is the
force which will place him there.
The business man is not the farm
er's enemy for the farmer must
prosper in order that the business
man may make money. It's a
get-together proposition and asso-
citation means friendship and UNI
derstanding, two mighty strong
factors iii themselves. A better
era is just. ahead. But every
farmer must do his part to reap
the full benefits.

TIA nodded pleasantly, raised his
cap and stepped into the taxi
cab. 1 watched him a moment,
hating him because he seemed the
one person who had the power to
ruffle me. He was dressed just as !
like to see men dressed, in gray
tweed, loose but wel-fttng. He
wore a soft collar, and the tie of a
famous cricket club. His tweed cap
was set just at the right angle, He
moved with the light ease of an
athlete. I hated his shrewd, kindly
smile, the clear2ess of his bronzed
complexion, the little humorous
lines about his eyes. I went straight
back to my rooms and wrote him a
