she was troubled. Dane seemed almost
glad, now, when she told him that she
was going out for the evening, and,
now that he didn't seem to care wheth-
er she went or not, she didn't want
to go.
"Oh, Dane, Dane, how can you?"
she cried, when he had left her one
night, pleading some important busi-
ness. Then her face hardened.
Nothing shall take him from me,
nothing" she said.

A SUDDEN hitch in some business
"A negotiations had called Oliphant
out Of town. Myra saw him depart
with certain feeling of relief. She
wanted to be alone, to have time to
think things out clearly. When Dane
was near, with his boyish friendliness,
it did not seem possible. She could
not make herself realize that there
could be a shadow Of doubt between
them. But there was. 1t was no use
trying to hide it from herself any
longer. She must fight for him.
The thing that had crystallized her
thoughts into the humor for action
was simple enough in itself, just a let
ter that Dane had forgotten to post. 1t
lay on the hall table. staring up at
her, as though in challenge. 1t bore
the address of Miss Barrett.
Suddenly Myra realized that she
hated this woman;x that, If she could,
she would shame her and hurt her.
She clutched the letter to her fiercely.
She would go and see what manner of
a woman she was.

I'm tired of taking just what the
old business leaves" she said, with
flare of her old anger.
He shook his head. still smiling.
Business is almost the biggest part
of most Of mems lives" he continued
slowly. "It has to be. 1t is the Gre
ative spark. 1t is worth thought
by any one." He turned to his wife.
For us it Is a common interest"
Myra nodded, comprehendingly
Wont you tell me about It? I will
try to understand. Nothing is going
to take him away from me-" She
said the last under her breath.
MYRA settled herself comfortably.

"Why didn't you tell me that Miss

"Then why is she working" he
demanded.
"She has a crippled husband"
He pondered that for a moment.
"Well, I'm glad of it,
'Dane!" she said.
ooh. not that he's crippled" he
hastened to explain, "just that she's
married. She won't be running off
and doing it again, that's what
mean"

were big silver buckles for his low
shoes. He wore a white silk scarf
or muff1er at the neck and a wide

already determined to find in him a

There everybody dressed like every
body else, they thought, and all was
lovely!
Franklin was prepared for them.
He brought his coonskin cap with
him from Pennsylvania. and he clap

Cochin, who was court engraver,
made the coonskin cap prominent in
his portrait of Franklin, which is still
often copied. For a man to have an
engraving made of him for portrait
showed immense popularity at the
time-for, then, by printing, any num-
ber of copies could be struck off!
The coonskin cap had great success,
but when Franklin took it off the
enthusiasm grew to delirium. This
Quaker philosopher from the other
world did not wear a wig. but had
only his natural growth of hair. Now.
he was bald on ton. but his gray
locks were allowed to grow long and

Her courage almost failed her as
she stood on the doorstep. She wanted
to turn and flee, to hide herself from
prying eyes, but something held her
there. She was fighting for happiness
for herself-and Dane.
When the door opened, she stared
with surprise. The woman who faced
her, was different from her imagining;
tall and slight. Myra's first apprais-
ing glance told her that she was not
pretty, nor yet beautiful, but she un-
mistakably was not common. Looking
at her eyes, Myra grudgingly conceded
that she was almost beautiful. They
were such large, clear, fearless eyes.
and her mouth was firm and delicate.
Does Miss Barrett live here" she
asked, with a perceptible hardness in
her voice. I'm Mrs. Oliphant l
have brought some papers-for my
husband" There was a crispneSs of
tone, almost a challenge in the last
words.
The woman in the doorway looked
at her. Wont you come in, Mrs.
Oliphant?"
Myra followed her into the comfort
able living room. AS they entered,
her guide said:
Perhaps 1 should tell you that at
the office I am Miss Barrett; that was
my old name-here / am Mrs. Dick
Banning. Dick, dear" she called.
Here is Mrs. Oliphant"
In corner of the room, Myra saw
the seated figure of a man. She

from him to his wife, still with that

In that moment she saw clearly.

herself.

Benjamin Franklin took to Paris
life and to France in general as a
duck takes to water. Americans,
ever since his time, have done the
same thing. But it was he who gave
the type Of American which has last
