Herbert came home early with
tickets for a play.
We'll have theater party all
by ourselves" he told Lila as he
kissed her.
1t almost broke her heart. She
chung to him desperately.
1.-THE last time!" she thought
"Oh, darling, if you only guessed
what is in store for us both tomor-
row!"
She determined to make the eve
ming fawless, memorable; to be gay
and sweet Herbert, in the years
to come, when he had only fail
memory of her as his wife, and she
was alone somewhere in bleak
world, should recall this evening.
But, even while she strove to put
every apprehension out of her mind
for this one last evening, a new fear
erept in, for Herbert, during dinner,
seemed vaguely preoccupied. Finally
b. "c~fessed:
I'm worried, Lila, about Varney.
He's acting very queerly of late. He
seems to be no longer friendly, and,
aside from his friendship, which I
value, our business interests are so
closely involved that, if he drew out,
I'd stand to lose "a great deal"
Lila knew orlv too well what
Varney's attitude meant. He and
May were rowing over that absurd
story of her romance with French
man, and Varney had linked the
Herbert Wares with its origin. 1t
would be typical of Varney to break
with Herbert entirely, unless the
horrid affair were cleared up. May,
angry at Lila, but still sporting
enough not to give the show away,
would egg him on out Of spite.
Don't worry, darling!" said Lila,
with a wan smile. Everything will
work out all rioht shortly"
Eyes" she told herself, every
thing will work out, because I'll be
out of the picture.
The play Herbert had chosen was
one'of the light and airy summer
farces. 1t was uproariously anus
ing. Lila forgot her troubles mo-
mentarily. Her hand slipped into
Herbert'S, and he held it close. ,
And then, at the end of the play
when the audience surged toward
the lobby, she saw Farquahr in the
crowd. His eyes were fixed stead
lily at Herbert.
Her heart fairly stopped. He was
coming toward them! They would
meet at the door!

CHAPTER XLVIII

NOROTHY, made a pretty pic
~ ture seated that morning in a
window of her studio. She wore
pale green crisp dress of linen,
and the breakfast service was of
pale green ware. Before her was
the electric grill that soon was to
produce waff1es she had promised
Captain Jack Farquahar.
"How nice of you to be so
prompt" she said. greeting Jack.
Her eyes held look of innocence
that made Jack wonder how he
could have doubted her word.
Jack smiled. 81 am afraid I am
repaying your hospitality rather
poorly when I put you on the wit
ness stand as soon as have broken
your bread"
And then there followed a search
ing quiz by Jack. He wanted to
find out just who Dorothy was, who
Ware was, and why Lila had de-
ceived him.
Dot was able to turn most Of the
pointed questions to her own adj
vantage, and she left Jack in a tur-
mol.
Their conservation finally became
dangerous. Jack lost his temper,
and Dorothy's mild personality
froze.
They glared at each other. Final
Iy Jack reached for his hat and
stick. Goodbye Miss Game. And
thank you for the excellent break
fast"
She nodded coldly, but made no
answer. He let himself out CT the
studio. Dorothy went to her draw
ing board. There was an unfinished
sketch before her, but she didn't see
it. Her eyes held a dreamy look,
and her lips quivered slightly.
When Jack reached his hotel he
found telephone message from
Lila. She appointed a rendezvous
for luncheon that day.
Afterward neither could have told
what they had eaten nor which
restaurant they had patronized.
Jack threatened to go to Ware
and accuse him of trying "steal his

girl Lila was terrified. She was
ready to promise anything.
Jack agreed not to go to Ware or
the condition that Lila marry him
the next day.

Past experience had told her that

a N all-afternoon session at Dor
IA othy'S studio followed.
Dorothy abandoned work and the
two girls sat facing each other Sob
erly. Lila was limp, with despair
and Dorothy was unusually grave
It's the end" moaned Lila, land
I might as we'll say good-by to Her
bert.
They decided it would be useless
to have Lila confess to Herbert. He
wouldn't forgive her; it just wasn't
like the man. In the end neither
of them knew just what to do. It
was a mess.
Lila rose YEARLY.
I'm going to let tomorrow dawn
and see what happens. I know I'm
a coward, but it is because I love
Herbert SO much. Maybe fate will
have some respite for me-"
Dorothy put her arms around
Lila's shoulders.
LILA, dear, I'll do anything to
help YOU"
Il know you will, darling" replied
Lila.
Lila dragged herself home from
Dorothy'S studio.

Surely a girl can forget to tele-

NO" Bob growled, and seized
upon the evening paper. 1T see
they're still dragging ponds and
beating the woods for that Jeffer-
son girl. But she's off skylarkins
with some man."
ooh, Bob, hush!" Faith cried, ana
astounded her husband by bursting
into tears.
What have I done now?" Bob
demanded contritely, dropping the
paper and taking his wife's trem-
bling body into his arms as if she
were a child. I'm sorry, honey
I'll call up Tony Tarver, if You
wish, and ask here if Crystal is with
her."
She'll say she hasn't seen her."
Faith sobbed. II feel horribly sur q
something has happened, Bob What
are you standing there for? Why
don't you telephone?"
When Bob came pack into the liv-
ing room his face was studiedly
cheerful, but Faith was not ec-ived

cried Historically. TONY hasn't seer

Dorothy sighed.

Farquahar arrived promptly, but
he was not in the mood that had
swayed him when Dorothy had babe
him good night.
He had few hours in which 70
think things over, and the con-
clusion at which he had arrived was
enough to put a proud, headstrong
easily angered young man, into a
f1r2 fury.
For he had decided that all this
mystery was in the nature of a
Smoke-screen created by Lila to hide
her real intention, which was to
rid herself of a poor and unwanted
fiance and marry young Herbert
Ware, who was wealthy and eligi-
BILE. He had recalled Jenkins warn
ing and was now ready to inter
pref it.
In his jealousy he had refused
to let Lila tell him the name of
the man to whom she claimed to
be engaged. Now he was convinced
that Ware was that man and that
the story of her fathers financial
difficulties was all bunk.
Lila wanted to marry Ware; she
was seeing him frequently in his
mothers house, while she put off
the man to who she had given
her pledge in France.
But she won't get away with
It'll" Farquahr promised himself.

school boy, was one of the blue rib
bon winners in the contest conduct
ed at the "4H" Farm Club Congress

the healthiest girl in the United
States.
Collicott, 16, made a score Of
957, the highest boy scoring 974.
Collicott won the Indiana state con-
test at Purdue university earlier in
the year with a score of 80, the
highest ever registered in a con-

tors could discover being a cavity in
one tooth.
The judging here was stricter, but
despite that it was necessary to
call back and :escore the five high
children after the entry list of twen-
ty-eight had been cut down, and
Collicott was one of those recalled.
Collicott is about five feet six
inches tall, weights little more
than 100 pounds and plays upon the
Greensburg high school basketball
team. In addition to school work.
George aids his older brother, his
sister and his mother in operating

'Why should we wait dinner on
Crystal any longer?" Bob demanded.
almost irritably that night at $50
"It seems to me that a girl who
gets her board and room for the
nominal sum of $40 a. week could
have the common, garden variety
of courtesy to telephone if she's not
going to be home for dinner"
"But, Bob, dear, she's never before
failed to let us know" Faith
worried. II can't understand it
She was i'll last night. Beulah saw
her come in about 9, looking ter
rible. I'm afraid something's hap
pened-'
"Nothing's happened, except she
had last-lninute invitation to
dinner" Bob retorted.
"Oh, dearp Faith sighed. "I'a
tell Beulah to serve the dinner
I wish, Bob, that you liked Crystal
better. I'm afraid we haven't made
her as happy here as I'd hoped we
could. She's been looking bad these
two weeks"
"She always looks bad to me, -
Bob growled, as he pulled out his
wife's chair. "Face all made up like
circus clown's-oh, all right, honey
girl, if you're going to cry!" he
gave in resignedly, and stopped to
kiss the white nape of Faiths neck,
just below the shining loop Of her
dark hair.
"Ummm! That smells good! Por-
terhouse steak with mushrooms
Beulah, you're a dark ANGEL It
is too bad that Crystal isn't here
while it's piping. You'll keep a
nice portion of it hot for her in
the warming oven, won't you, Beu-
lah?"
Faith smiled at him mistily
He was a dear, and fond of his
pathetic, flattery little cousin. in
spite of his loud-psoken intoler-
'ance of her ways.
Dinner, however, was not merry
meal. Gradually Faiths uneasi-
ness communicated itself to Bob
who translated it, vocally, into q
blustery sort Of anger.
