CHAPTER III.


When Sallie awoke once more
the shadows Of late afternoon
were creeping in at the win
dow and the throbbing in her head
had ceased. Reaching up she felt
that the bandages had been removed
and two strips of plaster were
crossed under her hair.
She must first find out why Mrs.
Copeland was trying to put over this
bluff.
There must be lot of servants in
such a big house and they couldn't
all be working in with Mrs. Cope
land, for if she was trying to get
away with anything crooked she
wouldn't take a chance on blackmail
later; Sallie had listened to enough
of Mikes talk about criminal cases
to realize that, to say nothing of Ma
Brennan's pet detective stories.
Sooner or later she would discover
somebody in that household who'd
help her but until then it was up to
her to Just sit tight. For the first
time she found herself wondering
about the real Alva Copeland. If
there was any such girl and she had
actually been in that wreck, what
had become of her?
At this point her cogitations were
interrupted by the entrance of Miss
Tidmarsh bearing a tray and Sallie
became aware all at once that she
was healthily hungry. She eyed the
silver covers eagerly and Miss It'd
marsh smiled.
"You have had a nice little sleep,
Miss Copeland" she remarked.

I'm awfully hungry now, though; l
hope you've brought something be-

and the girl eyed the repast before

mans boiled dinners right now!

cHE had come to work little O late and Miss Archer, the deli cate-looking forewoman, had repri- manded her. :.
 Cant have it, you know. Rose," " she said firmly. Mir. McClure's rules are very strict. If you are allowed to break them others will do the same, and our morale will be weakened. l It was not the first time Miss Arch CT had spoken in this voice to Rose Slawson. As consequence Rose hated her.
 She sat down at her machine in a very bad humor. Her lovely dark skin was spoiled by an angry flush and her eyes by a passionate luster.
 The girl at the next machine, a slender, quiet, pale girl, much older, glanced at Rose and smiled tentatively. But Rose ignored her. She had mo use" for Jenny Forbes, either.
 .he world was a very black place to Rose that morning, although the spring sunlight came in at the factory windows. She was young. strong, handsome, and she had a good paying job. The trouble was she did not like her work, she did not like the people about her, she did not like the place where sh, lived she did not like life itself.
 She made no effort to adjust herself. to get into a more fitting frame of mind. Every evening she went to the movies and only crawled into bed when there was no excuse for her sit ting up another minute. She was al- ways tired and depressed next morn. ing and the scenes of her own life seemed very tame after those she had witnessed on the screen. Secretly she believed that she was as attractive as any movie star, she ought to be earn ing as great sum-. yet fate destined her to sit at glove machine all day. walk to and from her work and have only little finery, when she wanted a great deal.
 As Rose reached to turn the pow CT on her machine the too tight sleeve of her skimpy satin frock burst from elbow to wrist. It was only an. other thing to annoy her. The dress was practically new and had cost two weeks wages, yet it could not hold to- gether. Her brows knit in a forbidding scowl.
 She worked half madly at her stitching, galloping over seams with out regard to accuracy of line or eyenness of finishing.
 The inspector came by, looked at her intently for moment, and then said: Take more pains, Rose. You know Mir. Mcclure won't stand for any carelessness."
 Rose turned dashing eyes upon the woman. Then she sprang to her feet her uncontrolled machine speeding where it would.
 T don't care a rap for Mir. Nc Clure-or you, either," she cried. The little inspector turned pale. In voluntarily she put out her hand. Bu the sight of Roses dark eyes restrained her from speaking and she walkel rapidly away.

THE TREND OF FASHION
HOWEVER standardized the
 I'll daytime frocks and suits may

Ill daytime frocks and suits may
 be, and there is no denying that such is the case, there is still a tremendous variety in the frocks for evening wear. Delicate colors are the rule, and the number of white frocks seen is surprising.
 The silhouette is entirely mat ter of individual taste. The short and piquant looking woman will find it as easy to suit her particular style as her tall and wollowy sister. Short fluffy frocks with full skirts and tight bodices, slim crepes heav- lily embroidered in pearls and crys- tai, and delightful lace dresses with cape backs are all much in evil dence.
 At present there seems to be a determined effort to introduce Di- rectoire gowns with very short waists and tiny puff sleeves. These dresses are developed in taffetas and floating tulle with many little ruffles of the same airy stuff. Whether the public will accept these remains to be seen.
 The success of the tunic frock for daytime wear is now assured and it is interesting to note how it is extending it's sphere and appear ing after dark. The long straight tunic that moulds the figure, yet has a hint of flare at the hem, Is seen in an evening frock of del- icate green satin. As the illustra- tion shows, it is remarkably chic interpretation of the tunic dress. The edge of the tunic and the sides almost to the waistline are bound with silver braid. The round neck line is the same in front as in back and the dress is sleeveless.

a prisoner that he might get the full use of that leg once more before hay ing to shift for himself. Day by day the strength came back to that leg un- til it was as good as ever it had been, and still Bobby was kept prisoner. The truth is Farmer Browns boy had grown so fond of Bobby that he could not bear to think of parting with him.
 At first Bobby hadn't minded in the least being a prisoner. It was fine to have all the good things to eat he want ed without the trouble of hunting for them, things he never had had before and never could have in the Green For est.
 It was fine to have a warm, com fortable bed and not thing in the world to worry about. So for a time Bobby was quite content to be pris- oner. He didn't mind that chain, at all excepting when he wanted to poke his inquisitive little nose into something he couldn't reach.

EPISTAxIS is another name for L ,osebleed. wher Johnnie Reynolds came home from school looking rather white and thin and holding his blood stained handkerchief against his nose and told his mother the school doctor said he had epistaxis, she promptly tainted. When she recovered she asked if Johnnie was dead.
 \. "Dead?' I should say not' chorted her husband. Mrs. Reynolds, nervous as she was at the sight of blood, shut her eyes and shuddered as she looked at her small son lying on the couch asleep.
 aIie looks as if he were dead" she said.
 "Nothing the matter at all, except an- other youngster cracked him on the nose and made it bleed" explained her hus- band. Many a time experienced the same thing as a kid. That new school doctor is 60 alfred modern and up-to- date that he had half the scholars scared to death thinking Johnnie had some new kind of infection when he called it tepistaxis.'
 Goodness, gracious, whatever does one do to stop nosebleed and what did YOU do?" asked Johnnie's mother, rather prided herself on her frightened helplessness.
 "Do?' liner husband waved in awkward hand.
 T just put some cold applications on the top of his lip and to the outside of his nose. Ipressed little, too, against the nose and the upper lip. That didn't do any good. So then I knew it must be pretty bad bleeding. So I squeezed some lemon juice into a cup of hot wa- ter and wrung a cloth out of that, and applied the cloth over his nose so he breathed in the fiimes. Vinegar would have done just as well, the doctor said" Has he been here? That young rattle e-brain." snorted Mrs. Reynolds.
 Hes quite a nice, likeable young fellow" said Johnnie's father, unable to forget the skill and tenderness of the young doctor in handling what had really been ap unusually severe attack of epistaxis.

 Well" Rose said, drawing a deep breath, "I'll come"
 Rose twisted her hands. ''Ill try hard"
 Jenny kissed her on the cheek.
 That's all you can do and it will be enough" she said as she turned to- ward the door.
 Rose watched her go out. Then with a new look on her face she went to the closet and taking out a plain little black gown which she had dis carded, she began hastily to change her dress.

Cats Will Be Cats
sy MISS BETTY saAIMERr


 |nR. LEPINAr, French professor D of psychology and veterinary sur seon of note, says his experience and observation of women and cats leads him to the conviction that the two have a great deal in common. In other words, Dr. Lepinay repeats the ancient libel that women are like cats.
 The cat," he says, lis capricious. in dependent, detesting today what 1t liked yesterday, and possessing the affection ate nature and virtues of dog. Cats are the anarchists of the animal world, guided enly by the humor and impulse of the moment"
 Then he adds that cats are "some- thing less than divinities and something more than beasts" He goes even further. Many animals" he says, If properly handled and understood. might be raised from the status of timid slaves to that of intelligent collabora- tors of man."
 This, I had thought, was an estate which women have concededly attained already, but 1t may be that I am wrong. It may be that Dr. Lepinay is right. Women may be like cats.
 Personally, have a great horror of cats. I hate them. But l do like women. So, too, do some men, and l find that noted men also had horror of cats and hated them. Dr. $. Weir Mitchell wrote paper score of years ago on the subject of cat repulsion. Lord Roberts, who was commander-in- chief of the British army during the Boer war, was attracted to Dr. Mitch ells paper and wrote him a letter in which he frankly confessed that cats all ways threw him into a panic. Dr. Mitchell answered by saying it was sur prisingly easy to understand how the bravest English soldier of the day, hav- ing exhausted every other terror of warfare, found himself succumbing to the only human terror left-the cat.
 I recognize that am in the mi. nority in my attitude toward cats. Most women seem to like them as pets. should just as soon think of betting a caterpillar or a snake,
 And yet women like them.
 And yet Dr. Lepinay says women are like them.
 - If it\ is true that opposites attract, how does be, in all his wisdom, account for this attraction which women--be- ing allegedly like cats--have for them?
 wish I had dog. I would turn him loose on Dr. Lepinay for what he says about women--and cats.

LITTLE BEDTIME
Bobby Begins To Long For The Green Forest
sy THORNTON W. BURGESS

after another of the birds arrived from the sunny southland and Bobby heard them singing and twittering, and watched them flying about, great long ing for the Green Forest crept into his heart.
 At first he didn't really know what it was that he wanted. 1t simply made him uneasy. He couldn't keep still. He walked back and forth, back and forth, at the length of his chain. He began to lose his appetite. Then one day Farmer Browns boy brought him fish for his dinner, and all in flash Bobby knew what 1t was he wanted. He wanted to go back to the Green Forest. He wanted to fish for himself in the Laughing Brook. He wanted to climb trees. He wanted to visit his old neighbors and sec what they were doing. He wanted to hunt for bugs under the old logs and around old stumps. He wanted to hunt for nests being built, that later he might steal the eggs from them. Yes, he did just this, am sorry to say. Bob- by is very fond of eggs and he consid- CTS that he has perfect right to them if he is smart enough to find them. He wanted to be free--free to do what he pleased. He wanted to go back home to the Green Forest.
 Farmer Browns boy has been very good to me, and I believe he would let me go if only I could tell him what want" thought Bobby, 'bft can't make him understand what I say any more than I can understand what he says. What great pity it is that we don't all speak the same language. Then we would all understand each other, and don't believe we little folk of the Green Forest and the Green Mead ows would be hunted so much by these men creatures. There's nothing like common speech to make folks under stand one another. I know Farmer Browns boy would let me go if he only knew. I know he would"
 Bobby sat down where he could look over toward the Green Forest and sighed and sighed. and all the longing of his heart crept into his eyes.
