1 builtEso many castles for the future, dreamed so much of all she would do when she reigned there as his wife: it seemed a thousand times more de- sirable now that in all probability it would never be hers. She started lip impatienty and walked on over the soft grass.
 All her life she had never been thwarted she would win now-she would.
 She raised her head with fierce gesture of defiance and saw Mary Furniyal coming through the sun shine towards her.
 The two girls were quite close to- gether, or it is possible that Mary would have turned back; but recog- nizing that it was too late, she stood her ground.
 Dora Fisher was quick thinker; in an instant she had decided upon her plan of campaign. She went for ward with hand outstretched.

It's all right to have the dope on healthy children, but how are We go- ing to make them learn il so that they can remember it"" asked MT. Mann of Mrs, Mann as they sat in the dining room after the dinner meal,
 Mrs. Mann smiled approyingly al the question. She had wondered about this and made inquiry. Friends had told her of B game" that would help children learn their A B C's and al the same time instill in their minds certain important health habits.
 This game" is extensively used by the American Child Health Association and can be adapted 10 any home.

 Economical and sensible in al other details. she is eXtraya gant ir dress - Dichy's sobriquet Of Her Flutfiness" was not given to her with out reason. But until Alfreds mar riage the yearly amount she spent did not matter and her son was only loo glad to indulge her.
 Now, however. the salary which had been ample for two had to do duty for three, a.d Alfred had spared no expense in the care his mother had received during her operation. l guessed that a terrific slash had been made in Alfred's say ings account. and it appeared to me that his mother should have had the sense to see that this was no time for her to indulge herself in new gowns, especially as her old ones. to all ap- pearances, were modish and attrac- tive.
 My heart constricted with sudden pity for Leila. Naturally her hus- bands contidant. she must know the exact state. Of his finances. She knew also, as did his mother. that within the next few months they would face another financial emergency. But the gentle, high- minded girl could no more voice an objection 10 her moth er-in-law's projected spending than she could have struck inc elder wom- an in the face.
 Inconsciously, however she had dealt that savage blow although the shadow fingered not a second in her eyes. But the elder woman had seen. and the pity l had felt for Leila quickly transferred itself to her moth- cr-in-law as l saw the terrified, childlike bewilderment blend with re- morseful and resentful realization upon the face of Her Fluffiness."

1 'I was just thinking about you! | Oh. you poor dear! Whatever will you do?"
 Mary had flushed when she first saw Dora. but she was pale enough again now: even her lips looked white.
 "I don't understand you. II" she faltered, and broke down.
 We know everything. of course" !" Dora went on, in her soft, silky voice. "DGyid is staying with us now: he lame mp to us directly. Oh, l am so sorry for yeu." The words sounded genuine enough i; her beautiful face was full of sym pathy.
 She gave Mary no time 10 answer, but went on:
 David is simply furious, Of course. He won't listen to reason at all, though NontJ and I have both done our best for you. He simply won't believe that yOu just did 1t on the i'm pulse of the moment. He talks as if you were some horrid adventures As if it were true. Why, | liked you from the very first moment saw you!"
 "He-he is furious-with me-"
 CHAPTER LII.
 Dora's Plan
 "You know what the Brethertons are" said D0ra-"such a proud lot! l suppose he hates to feel that he has been deceived. l suppose he is angry for Nigel's sake, too.'
 He has every right to be--ihere is no excuse 10 be made for me. But | never meant to stay; it was only only that | just wanted to see the Rcd Grange again."
 Mary hardly knew why she de- tended herself to this girl; instinc- lively she distrusted her: but she was longing 10 hear something Of David. Already it seemed years since she last saw him; already her heart was crying for him.
 You poor doar!" Dora still held her hand: she patted it soothingly. You need not be afraid that I shall tell him I have seen you; I wouldn't think of telling him. l have never seen him so dreadfuly angry before" She cast her eyes down effectively. And l know him pretty we'll" she added, softly.
 Mary's heart gave a little throb of pain. This girl was so beautiful. She realized it afresh as she looked at her ,now.
 David had denied oncetthat she was anything to him. Miss Yarney had denied it, too--but was it true?"
 She drew her hand gently away.
 1 am afraid I must be going"
 Dora gave a little protesting cry.
 But I want to help you, Don't you believe l am your friend"
 You are very kind. but I don't think I want any friends. All my lie I seem to have done without them. eXcept-" She broke off with sudden tender memory Of Nigel; he had been a kind friend to her.
 But you will want them-I am sure sou will" Dora urged eagerly. And if yos will trust me, I am sure ] could help you. You don't seem to understand that David is looking for you becausc-oh, perhaps vou don't know that what you have done .impersonating someone else, | mean-is punishable by law"
 Mary stared at Dora Fisher with a fast paling face; for a moment she could not speak-thcn she tried to laugh.
 Punishable by lawi Oh, no, sure ly not! haven't robbed anyone. [ haven't taken anything that didn't belong Co me. Oh. it surely isn't-"
