away from him. Knowing this, what in the demnition bow-wows are you kicking about? Why should you, be- man wanted Leslie, be mortified that he still has predeliction for her?
 As far as l can see, your wife has never given you the slightest reason to doubt her devotion to you since your marriage. As for your thinking that this Whitney chap matched a deep-laid plan by means of these pearls to stick you in the ribs some day and get Leslie back for himself. I think you have gone crazy.
 What do you expect to do? It looks to me as though you had started something you couldn't finsh. You, perhaps, won't like it, Jack but that seems to be your long suit. You think too much of Jonn Alden Prescott, and too little of your friends and those who love you. I'm getting all out of sorts with you, Jack. \.
 If ever I saw an asinine move, 1t was when you formed one of the wedding party and walked up the aisle with Paula Perier on your arm. when your wife was supposed to be with her dying father. I'll bet you the gossips didn't tleep that night, from talking about 1t.
 If you'd had any decency. you would have gone with your wife when she went to her father, not withstanding the hurt to your pride and egotisn.
 Everybody calls me an incorrigi- hle old bachelor, but the more l see of men-the more like women. A man will be good friend to you, he'll be a devoted lover, he'll be A faithful husband only so long as the friend, the sweetheart and the wife keeps pattins his bump Of vanity. But a woman will suffer humilia- | ton, as your wife has done, and still 1 be ministering angel, as your wife | has been. It is the woman that | sticks. Jack, every time. Don't come to me with any more | 0, your troubles until you have gone 10 Tgeelis and begged her, on your knees if necessary. 10 forgive you For everything you have done.

 That's s pretty big house" she commented, Hooks sort Of new, too. They've got a nice location. See the way those hills rise, of yender back Of the house, Pretty. isn't it9"

Raggedy Ann brought her little |. house on wheels to stop when it came to a hubbling ice cream soda water fountain in the deep, deep woods.
 There were Rasgedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, the little old woman with the magical charms and the magical hob- by horse.
 And. after their experience with Gerald the Giant. of course all were very thirsty.
 This was one of the incest ice cream soda water fountains the Rag sedys had seen in the deep, deep woods and they had seen very many.
 This ice cream soda water fountain was of white marble with nickel plated faucets for each different fla vor of syrup. And there were lots of little silver cups from which to drink the sodas.
 At the top of the lovely white marble fountain there vas a statue of a little dwarf sitting upon a large turtles back and over the little dwarf and the turtle the soda water sprayed III d SllNeTy stream.
 When RaggedX Ann and her friends had each had sixteen glasses of ice cream soda water and were just about to get in the house on wheels and travel along down the path. the mag ical hobby horse asked the little old woman, How did it happen that you were passing the house of Gerald the Giant at the time he took your magic charms from you?'
 Well sir!" the little old woman re- piled, T always knew that Gerald the Giant stopped everyone who passed his place and took things away from them and l never went near his house when I thought he was at home, but this day with my magic charms 1 have been making some very wonderful medicine which mends broken wings and things like that. And, just as l finished making the magic medicine, Rufus Rabbit came hopping up 10 my home and told me that his little boy Ralph Rab- bit had been chased by Freddy Fox and in jumping over a fallen stump, Ralph Rabbit had sprained his left hind leg. And of course, you know, a Rabbits left hind legis usually very lucky. So I picked up my magic charms and a small bottle of the magic medicine, and followed Rufus Rabbit. l was so anxious to get to his Rabbit burrow and help little Ralph that I really did not notice that we were passing the home of Gerald the Giant until we were right there in front. Then. when Gerald the Giant came running out, handed the magic medicine 10 Rufus Rabbit and told him to hurry home and give lit- tie Ralph Rabbit two drops Of medi- cine on a lump Of sugar every two minutes until his leg was well. Il knew that it would do me no good 10 run from the Giant, for he would have caught me in three steps.
 So while Rufus Rabbit hurried away, I stayed and then the Giant took my magic charms away from me. and I never once thought of using magic on him to keep him from talk ing them. But now that Raggedy Ann has returned the magic charms .o me. want you all to come 10 my little house and visit me and see my 1 magic things.'

"'Mornin', maam."
 As he walked over to the car he was still scrutinizing them with . pair of steady blue eyes
 Are you the proprietor ?' inquired Sally.
 She knew better than that, but she was trying to play a part.
 I'm the foreman, ma am.'
 "Oh! We'll, I'm the sure you're the very person I want to see. Can we get breakfast" 2"
 The foreman rubbed his chin and gave her further appraisal.
 Tt sort of depends" he said. Gan you cook?"
 "Yes!' It was chorus from two in the fiivver.
 For few seconds the foreman transferred his gaze to the Wreck, who seemed to have acquired sudden interest in his eyes.
 Tt happens, maam, that we ain finished with a cook We had a Chinee, and a Chinee helper. But they blew on us yesterday. But there's plenty of grub, and if you want to cook it, help yoursef'
 He waved hand in the direction of the kitchen. There was scram- bling exodus from the flivver. The Wreck beat her to the kitchen door by a couple of yards. The foreman followed
 'I'll show you where everything is," he said. Tell you the truth, I'm kind of hungry myself. The boys had to rustic their own breakfast this mornin and they didn't make out none too we'll. ct some of it and know what I'm talkin' about. So if you don't mind, nna'am, while you're cookin' up something, make it liberal in quantity. My names Charley McSween
 He looked expectantly at the Wreck
 My names Williams" said the Wreck, taking the hint.
 The foreman shook hands and glanced in the direction of Sally, who was already clearing a place on the stove.
 My wife" said the Wreck.
 Pleased to know you, Mis- Will liams"
 Sally had whirled about. her cheeks suddenly pink, She shot an amazed glance at Henry Williams and received a look Of warning in return. Charley McSween laughed.
 I've seen honeymooners before" he said. T was married once my self. It ain't nothin' against any, body"
 Sally opened her lips to say some thing, broke into a queer laugh and turned to the stove again.
 It was the kind of breakfast that comes once in long, long time. when you are ready for even the meanest and find yourself sitting down to the best. The Wreck ate with a concen- tration that was appalling Even the foreman, who was accustomed to all sorts of appetites. watched with an admiring eye. Sally and the Wreck were still eating when Charley Me- Sween pushed back his chair.
 I'm sayin' that was a regular breakfast" he declared. as he wiped his mouth. The lady sure knows how to fry bacon. kind of like to have my eggs fiopped over; but that's nothin' against her, because I didn't say so. Coffee was Al. I can't say as I usually eat toast, but I've got no objections to it. Can you make biscuits. ma'am?"

 Dear Jack:
 If were not so sorry for that splendid girl who was unfortunate enough to marry you, l would let you go lowell, to the place you are headed for in your own way.
 It doesn't seem possible to me. Jack Prescott, that any man should be such a criminal fool as you have been. Yes. consider it criminal Just because your little bump of vanity has been thumped, you have decided that your wife. Leslie, one Of the sweetest, most loyal and de- voted wives I have ever known, has done something for which you can- not forgive her.
 You have always known. Jack, that Karl Whitney has been in love with your wife. You told me with great pride how you had taken her

uhy Lillian Though, Madsss Imagination "Toa Excited"

My plqusd desire te staFtls Lillian was sFatihed when l mentioned Grace DFsperis name, Even her Iron boise was not proof against that name, al- though l knew that she was distinct ly oh guard with me, sald could he' tray her real alarm as she never would have done with a stranger,
 The Hush of excitement faded from her cheeks. her eyes for second held eonstsrnstion with q touch Of a stroassr emotion that 10 my amaze ment appeared very near to terror, hut her voice was strong and held s sharp imperious note.
 Grace Draper" she exclaimed you must be mistaken, child, She never would dare to come back to this country after that last"
 But she has interrupted her ss sharply. even while l felt abase- ment for the vanity which was de- lighting her. She was not the only one who could have startling se- crets. reminded mystelf with gles as childish as Il was silly.
 How do you know? Did you see her face?"
 How had she hit upon the faulty point In my recognition Of ths woman we both had such req son to dread. did not wait 10 answer my own query. but re- sponded to hers instead.
 No. she was masked" I said reluctantly.
 Masked? At the, restaurant" Lillian repeatedly sharply. "oh. yes. remember now, they are advertising q group of masked dancers at one Of the eabarets! But your imagination played hob with you after your ex- perience with her.
 Lillian Is Tense
 There was apparent relief In her voice, although her eyes still held alarm.
 DO you think Mir. Underwood's imagination played hob with him, also?" asked quietly.
 She drew in a sharp breath.
 Did he say he recognized hsr?'
 He danced with her, and made sure that she left the restaurant" replied with triumphant little in tonation which vanished at Lillian's grieved little cry.
 "oh! My dear! My dear How awful for you! Something must be done at once. shall never draw . free breath until that woman Is dead or put where she cannot get at you"
 My childish vanity, my fancied grievance. collapsed like a pr .cked toy balloon at the sincerity of her emo ton. There was not . thought for herself in her whole generous brain. All her alarm was for me, and I knew she would spare neither time nor strength to protect me. I was sud dently abased before her, all the more because could not apologize to her without openly naming the se- cret emotion which had shaken me.
 She leaned toward me tensely.
 Tell all about it," she demanded. And glad of the chance to talk, and thus conceal my dismay at the self revelation had experienced, I told her in detail of the incidents connected with my discovery of Grace Draper, ending with the as- surance that Mir. Underwood had de- clared he would not lose track of her.
 "Do You Mind?"
 Her hands relaxed their tense grip of the chair arms at that, and I saw that in a measure her dread was lessened.
 You'll be safe for awhile, any way" she said, until Harry gets
