 I wonder if your kingly lover had a mother, little Marquise. l wonder If you had trouble with trying 10 make yourselg agreeable to her.
 I have been down to visit Jacks mother and for his sake tried to do my very best, but, oh, it was so hard, little Marquise. For at least twenty-five years, is not longer, Mrs. Prescott, ST., has been buried in her ancestral home in little New Eng land town and most of that time, like the Chinese, she has devoted herself to her ancestors, 1 guess, for she ccr- tainly talked very little about any thing else.
 This was particularly obnoxious to me because she kept lamenting the fact that my darling baby, little Jack, had no ancestors to speak of.
 Of course I knew that little Jacks mother is that brilliant Paula Ferries and l strongly suspect that his father is Jacks best friend, Sydney Carton.
 You may think IL very strange that knowing this I still think that Sydney Carton is one Of the best men I know. Why l should feel this way about him do not know, for have only seen him once. except at inc tiHe he stayed week at my fathers on ihe occasion of my marriage.

EFFECT OF DREAMS

There is no doubt that at times some forms of bodily disease, which are a real menace to health, are disclosed by dreams,
 What are chased by the psycholo- gists as recurrent dreams arc some- times, sin certain types of persons, n real indication of a' trouble or dis ease.
 Recurrent dreams are those which apparently are able 10 focus the dream world or thought, which is our real world while we sleep, on the existent trouble.
 In one case, the dream came to the sleep every few nights for period Of two weeks. He felt knawing sen- sation in the abnominal region. The dream would always cause him to awake and at times he admitted he even felt pain, where the gnawing sensation occurred.
 The attending physician decided to try an N-ray and an nicer was dis covered and a successful operation performed.
 There is no doubt that dreams are frequently caused by some glandular trouble.
 Where such dreams occur and arc recurrent .glandular diagnosis should be made. if the one offlicted is at all in doubt as to some trouble that affects the physical health.

 Sally ran down the stairs, dripping her slippers by the way and unatck- ing the kitchen door, stepped out barefooted into the cold, eery mist of rain. Nearly half past i've! The milk train was late and the famous G3tham Arrow almost dre-there, of the rails which told of its ap. proach. Soon it would go hurting by with it's streak of tiny electric lights in the gray dawn.
 Shivering, Sallie gathered rhe thin robe about her and started down the back yard between the rows of sag ging clotheslines heavy with their curtains of damp, grimy linen.
 Then like a bolt iron. the heavens clangorous, reverberating crosl shook tn eearth and before Sallie could turn, before the first sh.iek of rending wood and steam and human agony fose upon the air something struck her a violent blow on the head, huge weight rushed upon her from behind, pinning her down and Ter world was plotted out.

I'll attend to these" To my great disgust l found my fingers trembling as I released the l spring in the curtains, for both men were Hisibly tense and excited, and l wondered what might not have gone wrong at Mrs. Birds house. l made no attempt to find out, how l ever, and the next minute We were off again. the interior of the car se- curely shielded from any observation, although from my position behind the driver l was able to see where We were going.
 What Troubled Madge
 It was not long before we came to the side~road which led toward the bay. and from which the driver turned to the ash-strewn alley at the rear of the row of ample old home- steads of which IFS. Birds house was one. The alley was as deserted as, we had left it save for a costly high powered ear drawn up at one side near the entrance, it's nose turned toward the boulevard street
 The driver shot a sharp glance at it, then chuckled audibly.
 "Whoever owns that isn't going to take any chances" he said. of anybody comes out from our house over this route tonight, that lad is ready to follow 'em to the hot place and back again. There's an- other one. I'll bet, lettering around the boulevard in the front of the house."
 I closed my lips tightly, for I did not wish the frantic query on my lips to escape. With all exits from the .house guarded in this way, how were we going to spirit the Harri- son children off to the steamship on which Alfred Durkee had engaged their passage?

 She turned her head, burrowing into the pillow that seemed so strangely soft, and delicate elusive perfume greeted her, not as sweet as i fresh flowers nor sharply pnngent like cologne, ycte parttaking of a myriad scents blended Into perfect whole. X silvery chime like the twinkle Of faint, fairy bells stole upon the air and the girl listened dreamily at first then with a sudden tensity as the notes died away, and slowly. cautious ly she opened her blue eyes. They widened in a series of utter incredul. ity.
 If this were dream it rescmbled nothing she had ever seen in all her life! A ceiling painted like the palest blue sky with neecy pink-tipped clouds floating round on if: wills paneled in pale blue and wreathed with tiny rose-buds, spindley gold fur. niture draped in blues and pinks and the softfl subdued light of day filter ing through layers like creamy veils.
 Warily her glance travelled to the side of the bed and there upon a slender gold stand she beheld a pitch CT and glass Of cut crystal and tiny, golden bell.
 Was she asleep, after all? What wculdhappen if she rang that bell
 Once normally actis her brain was given to quick decisions rather than idle speculation and drawing one thin arm from beneath the coverlet she stretched it forth. glanced at the foarp1 lace of the sleeve which fell from it and then grasped that bell
 She rang it not on languid sum mons but with determination and it's mellow tones shrilled in sudden com- plaint. but the first notes had barely sounded when a doc ropened and tall, dark woman appeared dressed in black and white just exactly like 9 maid in a movie.
 "Mademoiselie rang. Her thin lips smiled but the bright black eyes seemed searchoing. alert on guard. There was recognition in them. though, and that was something.
 Mademoiselle regarded her thought fully for a moment and then ob- served:
 Come again? didn't get you"
 "Mees Alya have rigg?" The maid smiled again and advancing to the bed she took the bell from the girls unresisting hand and replaced it within reach on the stand. There was something dry and repuIsive in the smooth, deft touch Of her. fingers. Vices Tidmarsh is resting"
 "0h, she is, is she?" Not for worlds would the girl have asked who Miss Tidmarsh" was; her own iden- tity was sti1l puzzling her. but who could have wished such a name as "Alva" on anybody?
 shall l bring the chocolate now?" The question was innocent enough but the maids cool, metallic tones held something insinuating as.she leaned a trifie closer and added: Madame Copeland, your mother, will be de- lighted to know that you are 50 much Letter, Mees Ava.

 The girl called .Alva' nodded. not trusting herself to speak and still smiling the woman glided away.

The startled Query That Nearly
 Escaped Madgc

Mrs. Birds youthful driver lost no time in obeying Lillians instruction to "beat it to Flushing" With a wary eye for traffic officers he drove the car at a rattling pace, through Brooklyn to Jamaica, and thence along the picturesque country road which copnacts that bustling borough with Flushing.
 l did not speak to him until we were well out of the traffic, and then vaguely sensing that the boy, for he was little more, was so brimful of his experiences that he needed the relief of telling them, I broke the silence with a tentative:
 ''I see you have your own car back again"
 He hitched around in his seat ab- ruptly, so that he could watch tho road and talk at the same time.
 You bet :" he said happily. Tt didn't take long after 1 met you for me to get my friend on the tele- phone. He changed the license plates on my car for a pair he snaked off another in the shop, and than with mine along. too, he beat it down to the Manhattan Bridge the Greensboro was too near where that bird lamped me to want to travel that way today. We met in a garage we both know not very far. from the Manhattan Bridge, changed for my own license plates again. and then I beat it over here, while he loafed uptown again.
 You didn't see anything, then, of the man you'-I started to say feared, but changed it abruptly to Encountered"
 Neither hide nor hair" he re- turned. unconsciously relapsing into the yernacular of his unmistakable country childhood. "I suppose he's still cruising around the corner of Fifty-eighth and Lexington, or watch ing the Greensboro Bridge. Well, hell wait quite a while ford this rab- bit to stick his head into the trap And I've passed the word to some chaps that'll take care of him pro- per-
 I shivered inyoluntariy, for there was Something vaguely sinister in tho boys manner, and although I was sure that there was full justi- fcation sfor anything he might have planned for the ''taliing care" of the escaped criminal who was revenge fully tracking him, yet could not help wishing my journey in his en- forced companionship was over.
 "Can You Fix It?"
 We came into Flushing, of course, upon another route than the one l had travelled. and in the outskirts of the borough the lad, with quick look behind him, swerred his car suddenly into the open door of garage.
 ''There's a bolt loose on the steer Ing gear. Mas" he announced loudly IS short rusty haired man stubbed up to us Can you fix it, quick? I'm in an awful hurry"
 Tho man bent his head over the ttccring gear. and heard a mur- mured interchange of quick qucs- lions and answers whose purport could not catch until the last any from the lips of my driver-"Any- body hcre?"
 "Only me-" the short man replied.
