 All that New Britain gossips have learned about HARRY MORTON, in the fifteen years that he has lived there, is that he Is rich, attractive, middle-aged and unmarried, and that he lives with his adopted daugh- ter, AUDREY, in an expensive house, maintaining also an apartment in New York, which he visits nearly every week. They never have learn ed what his business is.
 A man, whom Morton calls SMITH, appears after an absence of eighteen years, Smith claims to he Audrey's stepfather. Morton hurries him off to job in South America.
 MONA, a beautiful girl in New York, in love with Morton, and mad with jealousy of LOIS, another girl acquaintance, tries to trap him in u badger" game with the aid Of a strange girl and man. She breaks down, confesses her part in ii, and lcomes to his apartment to plead for | forgiveness. She encounters Audrey, tells her that she loves Morton, and Audrey then confesses that she her self loves Morton, and wants 10 marry him. Morton stops the result ing quarrel abruptly, and makes | Audrey take breakfast with Mona and him. They take Mona home, and he goes to his office, where he is informed that a man is awaiting him on important business.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 (Thc names and situations in this story are fictitious.)
 CHAPTER VIII
 At Morton's order, a tall, sturdy young man was ushered into his of. flee. Morton arose and said cordial. ly:
 Hello Parrish. Your first name k John, isn't it?"
 The young man asscntcd, as the! shook hands. "I was told to com' here and report to you this morn ing" he explained. Your secretar! in New Britain quit yesterday Somebody telephoned me, and tolC about it, and said I'd better com, right on here"
 Morton sat down, and motioneC Parrish to a chair. Just as well, he said. "I expected you to go t' work in a few days. 1 had anothe place for that chap, but possibly h couldn't have filled it anyway"
 He swung around to closed desl behind him, opened it, and took iron d pigeonhole q typewriter paper Glancing over it rapidly, he req some oi the sentences aloud.
 John Parrish tWentyfour year of age--had to quit college 10 sup port his ailing father--Worked day times and studied shorthand an bookkeeping nights-smokes pipe. What kind of tobacco do yo' amoke?" he asked,
 Parrish colorcd. and told hin But if you object to my smoking I'm willing Q quit" he said.
 q don't care if you smoke" Mor ton said. Smiling slightly, he ON plained: 'T merely wanted to kno' if I would be able 10 borrow tn right kind of tobacco from vol from time to time. But l can't don't smoke that stuff.' The young man drew from hi ,, pocket a tobacco pouch, and studi" it interest edly. "I always thougf this was pretty good" he said. Every man thinks his tobacco pretty good" commented Morto' z But tastes in tobacco, and Womel :, and climate, vary.'
 He went on reading the rcpor without quoting from the rest of i ! The young man watched him alter z lively. When Morton was done, ! , folded the paper and put it back r, his desk.
 Parrish" he said, "that repo

her. She won't care, but l imagine you will"
 Turning to his desk, Morton wrote a fc lines rapidly on a sheet of his letterhead. "Tako that down to my tailor" he said, ''and tell them to make you up an evening suit Q dim ner suit, and q suit with knickcr- lockers, You play golf, don't you?'
 Parrish said he didn't.
 "You'll have to learn that, then, too." Morton told him. Miss Nor ton can give you enough lessons so you will know what you're doing. You don't have to play golf well 10 enjoy it. When you learn to play it well, you don't enjoy it any more. You only worry about it." Parrish took the paper, but en- tered word of protest, "Mr. Mor- ton. Ireally cant afford to buy those clothes"
 Fair enough" Morton said. What salary did you expect when you came hcre?"
 "They told me you would pay me ithirty-five dollars a week" Parrish said.
 well. I'll pay you forty-fiye, '' proposed Morton. That's a raise of five hundred and twenty dollars a year. The clothes will cost you about five hundred and fifty dollars It'll be worth the extra thirty dollars to you to have them or hand. They won't wear out, right away"
 He considered a moment, and ther went on: "Ill pay for the dancing lessons. and the music lessons my. self. It'll be worth it, when I first hear you strumming on that guitar It ought to be worth q laugh, any. way"
 "I don't think I'd ever have nerv, tenough,' Parrish assured him, as h. retired, "I could play 10 myself maybe, but never to Miss Morton I've seen her picture"
 Morton raised his eyebrows. An "c' he said, with q rising infection.
 He smiled with some satisfaction as young Parrish went out, ant closed the door. Turning to the tele phone, he called Audrey.
 "l'm bringing a young friend ou to dinner tonight" he said. Jus hired him as my secretary. Mic chap. Stranger in the city. He onl, has one suit or clothes, so don't pu

 He hung up the receiver, an,

 When Parrish reappearcd. towar

 the instrument 10 Morton. "It looks pretty, and it is pratf loud, Listen!" He twanged th . strings.
 Morton took the guitar, glance over it with the eye of an exper examined the sign Of the make, brought inc strings quickly into tun . and plucked chord or two. ? Do you play if, sir?"

minister artificial respiration.
 In attempting 10 restore person apparently drowned the first step should be to remove the collar and loosen the shirt band Of the patient. Remove wet clothing as soon as practicable particularly if weather is chilly. and replace with dry cloth ! ing or blankets.
 Lay the patio. on the ground face downward. The arms may be raised about the head, one arm fleXed so that the forehead rests upon it. The face must be turned slightly 10 one side so that the nose and the mouth will moi be closed by pressure agains' the ground,
 stand or kneel astride the patient. Place your hands close together, palm down. ono on each side of his backbone al about the region of the short ribs, that is near the middle of the body.
 Having placed your hands on the patient in this manner you now lear forward an5 throw your weight or ,your hands whicl' are aTAinst the paticnts back. In this way the lower part of the patients chc2t is pressed against fine grornd and to a certain extent the abdl minal contents are forced up against the diaphragm.
 Forces Out Air {, The effect of this double procedure is 10 diminish the capacity Of the 'chost and force out air. The pres | sure should be applied firmly, but | gently and then removed. TO re- move in" pressure simply bend your body backward and take the weight off your hands
 This removal of pressure causes 'tho rhost 10 expand and th" organs of th" abdomen to rccede. These or .ans recciG because of their owr , elasticity. This expansion of th' Ichcst cavity draws air into the lung' through th" windpipo.
 You then pause for about thrct seconds to allow tho fresh air 10 hc , come mixed with the blood. Th"l lyou repeat thc process. This pro ocduro of comprcssing the chest ant then relieving i' and pausing fol three seconds is continued regular .Iy until ,be patient begins t' Areatho.
 Timing Movements ! The movements arc performed a the rate of lg 10 If times per min ute. Abont second Of time is rc 1uired 10 expcl the air and socon, to take in the air, This, with th three seconds pause makes total o five seconds for the complete cycle
 You may allow your hands 10 re main in 'he proper position upo the back after in" pressure has bee relieved. but no weight should h placed upon them. Swing your bod backward and forward with the lcaS possibl" cxcrtion. This movrm"r can he kept ID for a long time with out undue fatigue.
 Ii may hc necessary 0 perform ar Itificial respiration for several hom or longer In rare eases it has hec kept ID moro or less for sever; Jays. In @nY event it should b" lrl" for al least an hour and half.
