 sho halted abruptly and finished lamelN the handicaps which naturally will arise in such an un- dcrtaklng,"
 I knew that my own face reflect ed the embarrassed flush upon her cheeks, That Dicky's name was a part of tho first draft of her sen tence, was as sure as If she had uttered it, and l was conscious of an utterly unreasonable irritation against my little kinswoman for so nearly voicing the thought which had been uppermost in my mind. Lillian. facing the end of her own strength, had laid upon my shoul- ders the task of finding Hugh Grantland, alive or dead, and of clearing his name of the terrible charge against it, The alternative which faced me of gaining Dicky's approval of my task, or c' keeping him in ignorance of !, appeared hopeless from whichever angle l looked at it. But it made me furious to think that even such friendly eyes as Katherine's had guessed my dilemma.
 With Contemntuous mental comparison Of myself to the ostrich, I hastened into confused speech.
 Watch That Girl Carefully"
 There are so many things for which I'll have 10 depend on you" l said, especially if I should have 10 leave the farmhouse for a while as is very likely. Of course. Mother Graham will be back in a day or two and she will run the house for you. She is never happier than when she is bossing Katie, you know, but I shall want you to watch that girl very carefully, for every slightest word of hers is important. One never knows when she may drop some clue and I'll have to de- pend on you to relay it to me"
 "I1l watch her, never fear" , Katherine said quickly, and there was that in her voice which made mo look quickly, furtively at her. It was as if she knew or suspected something she was not yet ready 10 tell me. My suspicion was not les sened by her quick turning of the subject.
 By the way when do you expect your mother-in-law"? she asked.
 "T promised her I'd go for her tomorrow" 1 returned.
 She held lip her hands with a theatrical little gesture of dismay.
 My sainted aunt" she cxclaim- | ed, Cant you possibly put her off for another day or two?"

"I guess the fat man Is story teller" the tired carpenter replied.
 And so do I!' Toofie laughed, "now we shall pay no more attention to him when he says we must all get out of the woods."
 "Oh Is that so!" the fat man cried as he poked his head into the door of the grocery store and stuck out his tongue in a rude manner at Raggcdy Ann.
 q shall think up some way to get the best of you, never fear" the fat man howlcd, "and when I do, my. you'd better look out"
 Lets not pay any attention to him" Toofie said, he doesn't know what he is saving and it is just vast ing our time."
 Never mindc" the fat man cried as he shook his fist at Toofie, you found out that my friend Willie was not bear, but the next time I bring d man dressed as q wild ami maL you won't be able to tell the difference"
 silly" Ragedy Ann laughed. you have told us, so now wc will know it is man, and we will be prepared for both Of you" You had better run homo to your mama and stay thcre,"
 The little fat man started to laugh real loud and rude at Raggedy Ann for saving this. but suddenly he stopped and a frightened look came on his face. And as the Raggedys and Toofie watched him, he sudden ly gave q howl and dashed wildly away toward the brook and when he reached there into the ice cold water he plunged, splashing about wild and bowling ever So loud.
 Then the tired carpenter came into the magic grocery store with a smile upon his kindly face and he said, did you see him run?" And when his friends asked him what he had done to the silly fat man, the tired carpenter replied, well as yo,: stood talking 10 him, I slipped ont tho back door and poured a can of molassos on the back Of his coat. and ip few minutes 1t was covered with bees and yellow jackets And when he discovered them there, he howled just like he had been stung and ran as you saw"
 And did the bees and yellow jackets sting him" Q" Toofie asked And the tired. carpenter filled four ico creams cones and passed them tc his friends.
 No, sir" Not q single ono" hs said, For the fat mans coat wa: so thick. the bees could never had stung through it."

of stale tobacco smoke and gin.
 Dick threw open a window in the sun room and let inthe clean, cold night air.
 Then he went upstairs. ..
 He stood for a long time looking down at his sleeping wife.
 Her dark lashes lay in a shadow on her cheeks. Her mouth was like q scarlet flower against that warm white skin of hers.
 She looked as pure as some old Italian masters picture of an an- gel.
 .. . How had she happened to ask that fellow Wayburn to the house. warming, Dick wondered for the hundredth time.
 .. How well did she know him?
 And was 1t really Wayburn whom Dick had seen leaving his house a few days ago? .. Or had Glory told the truth when she said that the man was an interior deco rator?
 These questions went round and round in Dicks tired brain like squirrels in cage. -. He made up his mind to ask Glory about Wayburn again in the morning. And this time, he would not let her put him off.
 No matter what the truth was, he would have it, by love! When Glory awoke in the morn ing the room was full of sunshine.
 She stretched luXuriously like a cat.
 Then she got up on one elbow and looked around her.
 Dicks bed was empty, The covers were flung over the foot of it to let it air.
 She supposed Dick had left for the office without waking her to say goodby. He knew how she loved 10 sleep until noon.
 She wondered where he had had his breakfast.
 The thought of breakfast made Gloria realize how very hungry she was.
 She got out of bed. She would bathe and go downtown to eat.

And then she would go to the em- ployment agency to hire a maid. :. The mere thought of the disorder downstairs sickened Glory.
 What horrible job housework was =. eternally making dirty things clean! Dirty dishes, dirty clothes, dirty floors and walls. :.
 While her bath was filling Glory did her exercising.
 She touched the floor a hundred times with her finger tips.
 She got down on the rug to do her bicycle" exercises.
 She stood up and went through the head movements that keep the face young. Her head ached terribly, but she did not fater.
 This was the way to remain beau i tiful To start young. and to work constantly to keep your lines and color!
 For if you lost them you were through Absolutely. Men had no use for women unless they were pretty. . What fools women were not to realize that.
 
 Suddenly Gloria stopped exercis- ing. She sniffed the air with her delicate nostrlls.
 There was q smell of fresh coffee There was a smell of fresh cof- ! fee in the house delicious ap- l petizing smell. Then Glory hcard footsteps on ! the stairs. [~ ..E". aaa.aa

"Where in the world have you been Mir. Toofie?" Raggedy Andy asked the little magician as he came walking into the magic grocery store where the Raggedys and the tired carpenter were eating ice cream cones and drinking ice cold pop.
 "Whilc you were away, that fool ish little fat man came and caught RagCedy Ann and me and had us down by the brook with a great big stone on top of us.
 If 1t had not been for the tired carpenter, the fat man would have tied us to a log and sent us floating down the brook to the sea. And if we had reached the middle of the sea, he said A big boat would come

Letter from Leslie Prescott to the Little Marquisc, Care the Secret Drawer,

NUHtiuuth
 Besides, I think, Little Marquise. that l have made John feel that I am too utterly devoted to him.
 noticed the other night when I danced with Melville Sartons he seemed quite as surprised as dis gruntled. His way of describing the episode to Sydney Carton was really funny, I laughed over 1t heartily even when my heart was aching a little.
 In that letter he told mo more than he told Sydney, for I read be- tween the lines that he expected me to be devoted to him and a wall flower except when he himself danced with me or obtained part ners for me. In fact, you niay not believe it. Little Marquise, but I smiled all through Jacks letter. It was so like him.
 Someone has said that laughter Is the weeping of the soul which is, I suppose, only another way of saying that true humor Is danger ously near to tears. l told this to Ruth the other day and she said that to her, laughter at times was only the soul weeping over its lost illusions and we poor beings kpew that if we did not laugh, we too would also cry.
 wonder if Syd will tell Jack that he sent his letter to me. hope he will not. It would embarrass me 10 know that my husband knew I had seen some part of his inner consciousness that for some untold reason he had never shown to mo.
 I am very glad he sent it to me, however, for taken in conjunction

 Also, under these conditions, the amount of water required for the elimination of eXcretory wastes and other poisonous matters is greatly lessencd.
 Hard water should be softened for drinking purposes, This can be done with lime or salt.
 Physicians believe that hard water is likely source from which the body acquires those lime salts of oxalic and uric acids, which prove so troublesome to many persons.

How much water should per son drink daily?
 The amount needed varies.
 It is safe, however, to say that every adult person should drink three quarts a day,
 Many do not drink this amount. Some take a glass of water before breakfast, a glass at noon and a glass at the evening meal.
 The body loses about two pints daily through the skin in the form of precipitation, and from two to three pints through the kidneys.
 Salty foods call for water. If very little salt is used, and if meat

What Is Katherine Keeping Bacl

 At my question, Katherine looked at her wrist watch. and made a mental calculation,
 "No better time than now" she said. Just wait until take q look at my other patient Perhaps she's asleep also. I'll be back in | Jlrry"
 She whiskcd out of the room and in a few seconds came in again as brisllly.
 She's as sound asleep as Is Iil- lian," she said with satisfied little nod 50 I have 6 chance to draw my breath, also 10 listen to your tale. Procced,"

Lee Chow had revealed so dramatically. I omitted only one thing, and that the same which I had omitted from Iinian---the fantastically tragic letter of farewell which Hugh Grant'and had written me.
 Katherine listened without inter- ruption. but her relaxed, indolent attitude gradually changed to one Ct alert attention. When I finished she sprang 10 her feet, her face a tolltale mirror of the lively interest the story had aroused in her.
 My word What sweet mess.' she commented. And Lillian so il that she mustn't be allowed 10 put q stirring spoon into it. Well, don't envy you the job ahead ot you, dear heart!

 Maggie picked up her coat, hat and travelling bag, just as Dick came into the kitchen.
 "walt minute, Maggie" he said, quietly attempting to take the bag from her hand.
 No, MT. Dick" replied Maggie, trying to pull away from him. "l am going, l will not stay in this house another night"
 If you've really made up your mind to go back 10 Mothers house I'll drive you over" Dick said. You can't go walking around tho town at this hour of night alone"
 He started to go back into the hall for his hat and coat.
 But Gloria barred his way. She threw her arms across the door,
 "Dick Gregory you must be crazy." she said. Here's this wom- an leaving me at a moments mo- ticc and you actually upholding her in what she's doing to mel"
 Dick stopped and kissed his angry little wife. Then he gently pushed her out of his way.
 Run upstairs, Littlest!" he said quietly. Don't be afraid here by yourself. =. I'll be back in ten minutes"
 Cold with anger Glory climbed the stairs through the silent house.
 She heard the hum of Dicks roadster as 1t swung down the street.
 The clock in the hall downstairs began to chime |. one, two, three, four. s.
 Four o'clock! In another four hours Dick would be wanting his breakfast. And no Maggie here to get 1t for him.
 Well. let him go without breakfast! It would serve him right!
 He had been so ready to take Maggie back to his mothers house let him see how he liked get ting along without her!
 For Gloria had made up her mind she would not get breakfast.
 She would not sweep and dust.
 She certainly would not wash greasy dishes.
 In a word, she would not work!
 If ever start drudging around the house, I'll have my mothers life all over again. And I'd rather be dead!" she told herself.
 She looked at her pnk-tippet hands with their shiny nails. Ther she thought of her mothers. Ho" rough and calloused they were! . No, she would never have hands like her mothers :. never!
