Jim's attitude, I made no further

to my office, propped 1t up on my

up Bonbright Buchanan in he

was continually showering
her with gifts. urging her to
buy new hats, new dresses,
new furs;, there was nothing,
he asserted, "too good" for her.
But the tones of his voice
had little affectionate meditation;
he rarely expressed his love,

reflected his manner, seemed to
accept him in much the same cool.
dispassionate way. They're un-
demonstrative," her brother said
to himself, and he finally con-
cluded they preferred to keep
their love-mal1ing to themselves.
He recalled Lucy had once pro-
claimed in her midteens that a
husband and wife who kissed or
held hands in public were per
fectly disgusting" She had been
exceptionally vehement upon the
subject.
Philip habitually over-ate at
these Sunday feasts. A steady
procession Of gaily garnished,
lukewarTn viands appeared, and
were rapidly whisked away. The
diners were conscious of a mys-
terious influence that subtly
urged them to lose no time over
the repast; more courses were TO
follow; there must be no dilly-
dallying over any one Of them.

ner was in sight Wilbur usually
begged to be excused to go up
stairs for his longed-for cigar.
Philip and his sister would finish
the meal together, idling over
nuts and raisins, fruit and black
coffee, talking over old days
on the ranch. They enjoyed this
hour together and liked to pro-
long it, for besides the pleasure
of being left to their idle MUIR
mHFing, both were aware that a
row of hotel dowagers, and little
timid white-haired old ladies lay
in wait just outside the dining
room door to pounce on Lucy as
soon as she appeared. Everyone
liked young Mrs. Lansing, and
those who had guests were anx-
ious their friends, who had ad-
mired her unusual beauty during
dinner, should have the pleasure
Of meeting her. Though it was
bit of an ordeal, Lucy enjoyed
the crowding about her, the ad-
miring smiles, the flood of COM
plinents. Philip would stay on
the outskirts of the group, HAT
ease, but with a determined good
naturedl smile upon his face, pa
tiently waiting until his sister,
after declining urgent invitations
to remain for the concert by the
hotel orchestra, should make ner
escape and join him, where he sl-
ways stationed himself, by the
elevator door.

gasped. "Look!'

With the words I handed Jim
the announcement which had so
startled me. It said briefly that
on Saturday, the 10th, Mabel
Storrs and Bonbright Buchanan
had been married at the Little
Church Around the Corner.
Eagerly I watched Jim as he read.
I had a sense Of holding my own
reactions in allegiance and waiting
for his.

chuckled Jim. Bonnie Buchan-
an is one of the slickest contrac-
tors in this town. He's got so
much money he oozes it. And
he's got so many ways Of spend
ing it that it's queer he has any
to spend. He's the original white
light lad, and there isn't gay
little lassie In this town who
doesn't call him Bonnie"
"Oh. DON'T" I cried. 'I can't
bear to think Of Mabel married
to a man like that. Why-she
loves Park. I know she does"
Then no other man can mean
much to her." said Jim grimly,

pretty shrewd stroke of business.

I shuddered. Everyone would
share Jim's cold cynicism about
Mabel Storrs. But, remembering
the anguish in her eyes when she
found that Park mad not believed

76,OO Are Killed By
Accidents Each Yea,

Each year 10000 people are killed
in this country by accident, and $4,000
of these are children under Is years
of age, according to the National
Safety Council. For every death
there are 26 serious injuries, nearly
100000 people hurt, manned or Grip
pied.
The secret of overcoming this loss
of life, according to the safety council,
lies in teaching the children to form
the habits of following the ordinary
laws of safety and common sense.
The council has been working since
1919 to teach accident prevention in
the schools.
