So"
Then she heard him cry, I'm so
worried about you"
Nothing to worry about. :"
But there was unutterable pathos
in his good-by.
Sonia replaced the receiver and
brushed the tears from her eyes.
He is the most ridiculous, senti-
mental idiot that ever lived. And
never in the wide world will he
understand this marriage of mine.
1 won't dare let any other man come
near the place."
Sunday was q long day. The
papers, gave no additional infor-
nation. Sonia, restless and dis
turbed, would have liked to go to
Pirates Cove again. But she did
not wish to suggest 1t to Franklin
He came for her late in the after
noon and they took a short drive.
The deferred separation, together
with Henderson's death, had damp
ened their ardor. He kissed her
mournfully, as those kill who may
die before they meet again.
Mother and 1 are leaving this
week"
Really" Sonia asked DULY.
There was no reason why she
should remain, If she could not be
with him.
Monday both of them were sum-
moned to the inquest for Walter
Henderson. Sonia dreaded 1t. She
had never been in a morgue. The
mere thought of the place terrified
her. CHASTITY tales floated into her
mind - bodies kept on ice for
months waiting to be identified
Her flesh pricKled at the
thought.
She wished Franklin would go
with her, but he said 1t would look
better If he accompanied the other
men from the office. For some
silly, undeflnable reason his refusal
reasonable as 1t was, hurt.

of the deceased's finances. This was
augmented by the president OF Hen

A doctor testified that the body

" thirty-six hours.
An acquaintance from Berkeley
told of seeing Henderson on Thurs-
daV evening at a theater. He was
alone.
It was determined that death must
have occurred some time between

SOME RECIPES FOR BACON

MOT until one cooks over camp
AN fires-whether those fires are
in the open or in stoves-does
one realize what highly useful
standby bacon can be. There are
the toasted bacon sandwiches,
eggs served with bacon in many
forms, bacon cooked with green's
and with beans and with baked
tomatoes and numerous cheese
dishes, to all of which it gives
SAVIOR, and the flavor of meat.

enough dish, but did you ever eat
