You may bring to your Office and
put in a frame
A motto as fine as its paint,
But if you're crook when you're
playing the game,
That motto won't make you a
saint.
You can stick up the placards all
over the hall,
But here is the word / announce:
1t is not the motto that hangs on
the wall,
But the motto you live is what
counts.
II the motto says Smile and you
carry frown;
do 1t Now" and you linger and
wait.
If the motto says Help and you
trample men down;
II the motto says Love" and you
hate
You won't get away with the notices
you stall,
For truth win come forth with
bounce.
It is not the motto that hangs on the
wall,
But the motto you live is what
counts.
For when Our Great Scorer comes
along
To write against your name,
He writes not what you won or lost
But how you played the game.

say your lordship'?'
Because he is the eldest son Of an
earl and he is entitled to be called
Lord Dombey."
HE is noble, them l am not sur
prised. He seemed like that to me.
And you, monsieur? May know your
Manner
my name is Christopher Bent" he
replied, plain Christopher Bent"
Christopher is a very nice name,"
she said. with a trlfe Of unconscious
condescension, but Of course 1t is not
like Gerald"
She looked longingly back towards
the crowded doorway, and the young
man who stood by her side was aware
Of curious and altogether inexplica-
BILE sensation He suddenly found
himself envying Gerald's careless but
fascinating manners, his good looks,
his light debonair manner of speech.
Even this little waif picked up at the
roadside was already under his spell.
Then Christopher remembered other
things about his friend, and his face
grew stern.
Gerald returned presently with a
neatly-dressed young woman. He held
out his hands to MYRTLE and assisted
her to alight.
1T is all arranged, child" he an
nounced. Annette is a chambermaid
here. She win take you to some rooms
close at hand, where you win be made
comfortable. Tomorrow morning,
early, Christopher and will come and
see YOU"
"Mademolselle will be entirely well
suited" the young woman declared.
at is but a few yards away"
MYRTLE, still wrapped In Christie
piers coat, looked little pathetic as
she stood upon the pavement by An
nette's side.
II shall not see you again tonight,
then, Monsieur Lord Dombey7" she
asked shyly.
mot tonight he laughed. "And
Monsieur Gerald is quite enough from
you, petite. Tomorrow we will have
long talk. Have no fear-you shall
not return to the farm unless II is
your wish"
MYRTLE stopped and with sudden,
passionate gesture raised his hand to
her lips. Then she dragged Annette
off without looking behind. Gerald
laughed a little consciously.
"Our village maiden Is somewhat
demonstrative, he remarked lightly.
"Come on, Chris A cocktail while
they unpack our clothes. I've tele-
phoned to the villa. We must do a
duty dinner there first, but after
ward / will show you the land where
the pleasure seekers Of the world have
built their temple"

MYRTLE slipped through the open
doorway. Her prospective husband
looked after her for a moment and
half rose. Then he looked back at
the wine, flowing into his glass. Myr-
tile would keep,-wine by the side
of Jean Sargot, neverl He resumed
his seat. In a minute or two he would
follow her-as soon as the second
bottle was empty.
Across the stone-flagged floor. out
through the little garden and along the
cypress avenue to the road MYRTLE
fed. She was like a terrified young
fawn in the half-light, her hair fly
ing behind her, her large eyes filled
with fear Her feet seemed scarcely
to touch the grass grown track. She
fed as one who leaves behind evil
things Only once she looked over
her shoulder. No one was stirring,
no one seemed to have thought of
pursuit She reached the gate which
led out on TO the road and chung to
it for moment, as though for pro-
lection. On the other side was free
dom. Her eyes filed with passionate
desire. If only she knew how to gain
It'll
They were singing now down at
the cottage. She heard Jean Sargot's
strident voice in some country song
of harvest and vintage and what they
called love. AS she stood there in
the quiet of the evening, there seemed
suddenly TO leap into life a very fur
mace of revolt She was weary of
her monotonous tasks-the abuse of
her stepfather; the care of those
motherless children, not of her own
stock yet dependent upon her; the
gray tedium of a life unbeautiful and
hopeless. And now this fresh terror
Her fingers tore at the rough splinters
of the gate. Her eyes Travelled hun
grily along that great stretch of road,
passing here and there through the
forests, rising In the far distance to
the top of the brown hillside, and
disappearing in mystery. At the other
end of the road one might find hap

old chap. It's up to US TO give the
girl a chance"
Christopher stripped or his coat
and wrapped It around MYRTLE. Then
he took the place by her side. Gerald
slipped in the clutch and they glided
off.
The twilight overlook them swiftly
The lights Of Monte Carlo, as they
commenced the long descent, were like
pin prlcks of fire thrust through a deep
blue carpet. MYRTLE, whose eyes had
been fixed upon the flying milestones,
leaned forward now with little ex-
clamatlon of wonder
1T is fairylandl" she cried.
Gerald looked down at her lndul-
gently
you live so near and you have
never been even as far as thisg" he
asked.
ut is as have told you," she an
swered. II have never Travelled ten
kllometers from the farm In my life
Christopher was almost incredulous.
Gerald, however, nodded sympatheti-
cally. Both young men had taken It
for granted from the first that their
charge understood no English.
I'm France they are like that" Ger
aid remarked ut is the sous that
count But this child-isn't she amaz-
ing, Christopher? Except for her
clothes there isn't a thing about her
that suggests the peasant. She is like
child Madonna-ran angel-who has
stolen into the clothes Of girl gone
for her first communion"
II should still like to know what you
are going to do with her when we ar

Are you going to take her to the
villa?"

"Why not?" Christopher persisted.

girl on our hands, that she Is the prop

Gerald smiled slightly
my dear Chris" he said, you and
Mary are pals, l know, but / am not
sure that you altogether understand
her She doesn't like surprises. We
must pave the way little before we
ask for her help"
MYRTLE had been looking from one
to the other Of her two companions
with sense OF growing trouble In
her eyes.

wrong of me not TO tell you before. ]

A quickly moving story of dramatic
power. A conflict of human emotions
which brings out in richest luster the
unshakabIe faith of q woman faith
founded on love. story of modern
life, told with honesty and understand
ing of both sides-the mans and the
woman's.
Mr. Oppenheim. who has dealt in
original and characteristically clever
fashion with all phases OF romance,
with adventures and Adventures, with
kings and beggars of the modern
world, with the sharpest OF crooks and
detectives with the kindly and the
malevolent in all classes of society,
here places his exotic personages In
less dominating position than usual
and gives us a love story with q little
country girl as heroine What makes
the story more remarkable is that Myr-
tile is the only character of conse-
quenoe taken from the soil. The others
are from high society or off1cialdom,
and into their environment she Is
ushered.
The action shifts to Monte Carlo, to
London. to the English country and to
the Russia of today. An absorbing ro-
nance in which there are three uncom-
monty allurinR women and several COM
manding male characters, and In which
diplomacy and intrigue play their
parts; in which there are stirring Incl
dents. but in which the most absorbing
degree OF interest win be found in the

We can sell the timber from the strip
behind and plant more vines. Children
are not so bad when they are strong.
"The little ones are well enough"
Madam Dumay admitted, "but thy eld-
est-Myrtile-she has not the air of
health"
They all looked up at the girl, who
was approaching them at this moment
with wine and glasses She was Of
medium height and slim. Her COM
plexion was creamily pale; even the
skin about her neck and arms had lit
tie of the peasants brown. Her neat
ly braided hair was of the darkest
shade of brown, with here and there
some glints of a lighter color. Her
eyes, silkily fringed, were of wonder
full shade of deep blue, her mouth
tremulous and beautiful. There was
something a little exotic about her APP
pearance, although no actual indica-
ton of Ill health. The widow looked
at her critically; Pierre, the innkeeper,
with unpleasant things in his black,
beady eyes
"Pooh! she is well enough, her step
father declared. "Never a doctor has
crossed this threshold since her mother
died many years ago."
MYRTLE, after she had filled the
glasses, would have slipped back into
the house, but Jean Sargot grasped
her by the arm.
Tonight, my child" he insisted,
"you must leave your books alone.
You must drink a glass of wine with
us. 1t is an occasion, this"
MYRTLE looked from one to the other
of the two visitors. She had for mo-
ment the air of trapped animal. Ma
dame Dumay made a little grimace,
but Pierre only laughed. She was
flower, this MYRTLE, not like other
girls. Even the young men complained
of her aloofness. He knew well how
to deal with such modesty.
Behold" her stepfather continued,
"our two best friends Here is good
Madame Dumay A nice little income
she makes at the shop, and tidy sum
In her stocking"
"Oh, la, laI" the widow interrupted.
"What has that to do with thee, my
friendT
"And also,7 Jean Sargot went on,
without taking heed of the Interrupt
ton, "the brave Pierre Leschamps.

Pierre Leschamps-hear this, little
one-he seeks a wife. He has chosen
you. I have given my consent"
Leschamps had risen to his feet.
MYRTLE shrank back against the wall.
The terror had leaped now into life.

Jean Sargot leaned back in his
chair and drank his wine. His two
guests followed his example.
'rHo, hop he laughed. Come, that
is good You were always a shy
child, MYRTLE. Pierre shall WOO you
into a different humor."
"Ay, indeedp' the innkeeper as
scented, leering across at the girl with
covetous eyes. "We shall understand
one another presently, little one. You
need have no fear. Marriage is a
pleasant thing. You will find it so,
