 Ii was q girl, q slender girl with very light hair and dark eyebrows tand lashes--a rare type and one not easy to forget. Instantly Mary re- mcmborcd. II was the girl whom she had seen in Jimmy Rand's arms that night in front Of the Mayfair Hotel.
 She was q very pretty girl Mary thought--a beautiful girl. Yet the sight Of her struck q hostile chord somewhere inside her. This was IL" woman that had come between her and Jimmy; she was the cause however innoCcnt--ot the misundcr- standing that had led to their Gs- arrangement.
 What was there between this girl and Jimmy? What secret did they share? Jimmy had said; "You don't know how important il was that find that girl" Why was if inn portant? He had never told her. And yet, it occurred 10 her then, he had offered to, only something Mary herself had said had stopped him.
 A burning jealousy laid hold Of her She hated this blond creature, with her delicate, archcd eyebrows and her violet-gray eyes.

Madgc Wants To Learn Why Mary
 Ran Away


 So Mary Harrison had guessed my early mornings errand!
 1 had been afraid Of it when left her and saw the queer little knowing look she had given me. Cn. consciously, however, had been Dracing myself for this very ques- ton, and l was able to answer her with apparent nonchalance. thanking my particular little Joss that the form her question had taken enabled mo 10 answer her with truth.
 Get your Aunt Harriet on the telephone?" l repeated, in apparent amazement. Indeed, not Why should l do that at staggering tcle- phone tolls when she knew last night that you were here and safe? Your Uncle Dicky tclephoued the Braith- waites last night after they had tele- phoned here. Don't you think that the tolls are big ouough?"
 I laughed as l put the last query, but l purposcly meant 10 jab her with inc barbed idea that there was an uuconscionahle amount of money and time being spent over her. l had a queer little feeling Of remorse as l saw her face flush and knew that the barb had reached her, but vas also grateful for the success of my ruse. l had diverted her mind from the idea of my telephoning 10 Detroit and she believed my true statement that I had not talked 10 Harriet Braithwaite. without suspect ing the conversation which l had carried on with Edwin.
 T Want To Sec Harriet First"
 Quite enough" she returned q bit ,hortly, but thought perhaps you wanted 10 get the low down on me rom Aunt Harriet, She'll probably write it, though. ! hope 1t doesn't set tho envelope on fire"
 She 'ossc3 her head as she spoke and I saw flat hard, defiant look had cropt into her eyes, The con- nict between herself and her aunt must have been "qute q row." as Edwin BraithWaitc had said. to leave such bitterness as I saw in her young face. One thing was certain. She was in no mood 10 talk 10 Dicky in his undeniably antagonistic mood, and l frantically searched my mind for an excuse 10 get out of the room.
 "Yon didn't order my frugal meal, ns, A1
 "Why, no, l didn't" she answered.

Did you want me to?"
 No. indeed" returned. "Ill so down and get 1t now in the grill. IL won't take me but A few minutes"
 l hurried out before Mary could suggest that sho accompany me, but. instead of going down to the grill, l ran mp the stairs 10 the third floor and tapped upon the door of No, 42. the room which Dicky had told me he had taken for the night.
 He opened the door at my knock, l and l saw that he was shaven, dressed, ready 10 leave had caught him just in time.
 What's up?" he asked concern- edly, drawing me into the room. "Is Junior"
 Perfectly all right" assured him.
 Then has Mary skipped again?"
 'No, no, mo-" reiterated. Please let me tell you, I just had Edwin on the telephone and he says Harriet | is on her way herewith arrive to- night about 6 o'clock. So there's no need of your seeing Mary this morn ing. We can wait until Harriet comes and"

 "Rcmembcr that Is your reason for not seeing her" said. Edwin doesn't want her to know that liar riet is coming and l agree with him. Sure thing" Dicky assented. She's likely to stage another disar- pearance stunt if she knows. When will Harriet get in?' That's something you'll have to l find out" I said, repeating the infor- nation Edwin had given me over the telephone.
 Dicky listened attcntivcly, nodded comprehendlngly "Ill figure 1t out, all right meet her and bring her mp here. What's tho matter now?" he broke off with a quick look at my | face.
 a"Only this" said slowly, fearing one of his outbreaks, but steadily i holding my ground, "I want to see Harriet myself, hear what she has to say and have chance 10 talk 10 her before she meets Mary" Copyright. 1926. by Newspaper Feature Service Inc.

 Mary could have touched her with her hand. She took an involuntary step toward the other girl and opened her mouth irresolutely to speak. But she hesitatcd too long, and Olga was gone The proper mo- ment had passed.
 Mary stood where she was, turn ing 10 follow Olga with her eyes. Perhaps twenty yards away the other girl turned for T backward look and her glance met Mary's again. Then sho turned and was lost in the crowd.

Tim's eyes popped as he heard about the machine gun bullet that had punctured the gasoline tank on Jim mys plane, He wanted even to see the scar left by tho one that had plowei through Jimmy's shoulder.
 Jimmy had to explain for 'the more technical-minded Francis how the fixed gun that operated from the pilots seat was synchronized with the motor, so the bullets could pass between the revolving propeller blades, instead of going through them and splintering them.
 Tt was timed with the motors cam shaft" he explained to the at tcntiva Francis. "In the two-seater planes, the observer in the rear op- erated movable gun that he could swing all the way around"

 Service
 At times 1t becomes necessary 10 feed babies something besides the milk which nature intended for them in such cases the change should if possible, be made gradually. This important step should not be taken without the advice of a competent physician.
 The usual substitute for mothers lmilk and perhaps the best and saf- est substitute Is cows milk, modified 10 bring the percentage of fat and sugar up to that of mothers milk. This addition can be accomplished by adding milk sugar and cream of known fat percentage.
 Great skill Is required. however. 10 formulate a proper milk for a given child and this should not be undertaken without the advice of a good doctor. Once the proper for mula for the child In question has been obtained from your doctor, you should not forget that this formula requires changing from time to time as the child grows older.
 1 You should not forget also that 1t Is necessary to have clean milk as q basis on which to build the health and strength of your child. Clean milk can be obtained only from clean COWS and every step in the procuring, storing, delivering and preparing of this food must be safeguarded by rigorous cleanliness.
 Milk. unless 1t is steriized. always contains many germs. If the milk is clean in the first place, if 1t is cooled as soon as it is taken from the COW, and if it is kept cold, that is at a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit or below, the chances for the development of the germs are very materially decreased. Milk which has been kept too long before delivery is unfit to be used, especi- ally for children.
