Madge paused as she saw
photograph of q magnificent sea-
going yacht. The caption an
nounced that Michael Winchester,
the owner, had issued orders for
the yacht to be made ready Tor
a long voyage as he was about
to undertake big game expe-
dition in Africa.
The paper dropped fr ON
Madge's hand. OF course she
knew that by this time Michael
had read her own note informing
him of what she had done. SO
this was his reaction. She won
dered IL he were deeply hurt; but
IL so, 1t would only be his pride
that WOULD be wounded. He had
never cared for her. she as
sured herself passionately, or he
would never have gone to Eu-
rope with June Wilson.
And then. as though guided by
fate, Madge picked up the paper
and idly turned page. in.
trigued by the bold headline:
PEERESS NAMES n. Y. DEB!
The name OF June Wilson stood
out from. the news story of the
scandal, 1t appeared that the
Earl of Middlesex had left his
wife, and was travelling openly
with June Wilson--had left Lon.
don for the Norwegian Fjords.
THEW hy, t h n.-Mchaels
meeting with June had been only
accidental. Obviously June had
been on her way to join Lord
Middlesex!
And if Michael were innocent
as was evidently the case
then But Madge could
not think clearly. She tried to
console herself by reflecting
that 1t was all written by the
hand of fate. 1t had to be. and
she had been nothing but a
pawn on the chess-board of life.
She began to wonder If it had
not been largely her unjust sus-
picions as to Michael and June
that had caused her to run
away with Carroll. Still. 1T was
no good regretting. She had
done this thing. She had lost her
father. She had lost Michael.
She had lost everything but the
man she loved. She still had
Carroll Her Carroll
Her man.
The rain stopped and the sun
caused everything to sparkle.
Wanting something to do. she
borrowed the car from Martha
and drove the little distance with
only Tam beside her, to the viii
lage postoffice.
"Any letters for Dudley?' she
asked the old postmaster.
He handed her two. and to her
Joy she noticed in Carrol's writ.

Getting back into the car she
drove little distance awav.
where she parked by the side
Of the road under the shade OF
a big maple tree.
CAROLS letter was brief and
yet she read it over and over
again.
Ecstasy! You who hold NV
heart within the softness of vour
little hands! This is only to- tell
you that I adore you and the
time away from you simply crawls.

She kissed his signature. while
her heart melted toward him.
The second letter slipped to the
floor Of the car. Picking it UP to
rescue 1t from Tams inquisitive
teeth. for moment Madge saw
the world go black. The letter
was addressed to Carroll. and
printed neatly in the left hand

Junior was drinking too much.
Iris snapped at him. Don't be
q pig" but he grinned and or
dered another round. When the
lights came back and people be-
gan to dance he got up unsteadily
and made halting way around
the, room.
.ssShouldn't you stop him, Iris?"
Mary whispered. II don't think
some of these people are very
well, he might get in trouble.
"Oh, let him alone-he's been
squiffed before"
SO Mary watched him circle to
the opposite booth, speak to the
girl who had sung, lead her into
q dance. A feather hghtness in
her movements as she kept step
with Juniors fuddled lead. And
the burglars eyes narrowed as
they followed the two.
Junior brought Nell to the table
afterward. He presented her with
a drunken flourish and she ac-
knowledged 1t quietly enough,
sitting down beside Mary. Then
Iris, who had greeted her with q
mere lifting of one exquisite
brow, leaned forward.
who is that man with the gor.
geous red hair" she demanded in
o. naughty princess manner.
Have him come over, please"
Nell glanced slant-wise under
her 1asIes and Mary saw the
eeeen eyes shoulder. But she
made a gesture and he came.
LitheIy, with Tilt running
through his tall figure, the in
candescent look about his head,
he came.
He was introduced to Mary last
and for the second time she saw
his smile flash. But even as she
suffered, Mr. - uh - Mullins"
she observed that he was looking
at Iris.

RAINBOW CHASING

Other women had found them
selves in similar positions And
then a fierce joy invaded Madge's
heart. At least. she had been
spared that! At least. she had
never been his!
Complete hatred for Carroll, =
physical and mental loathing for
him possessed Madge, as slowly
she drove down the twisting
country road. This hatred. she
discovered, was quite as strong,
quite as intense as the passion
she had known when he held her
In his arms.
Tam, sitting beside her. paved
for attention.
Nice Tam" she said. to him.
But Tam caused her 10 forget
her loathing of Carroll in memo
ries Of Michael. who had given
her this little black friend she
loved so dearly.
Suddenly. all emotion for Carol,
even the emotion Of hatred, was
dead. Instead, she was over
whelmed by a sense of loss-the
loss of that chivalrous, trusting
man who had given her his name.
Poignant remorse as hers, ana his
this was the more stinging be-
cause Of the realization that re.
morse had come TOO late.
The gallant Michael had given
her everything--her, Nobody. He
had lavished his wealth on her.
and look how she had rewarded
himi Far more than his wealth,
Michael had trusted her with the
honor OF his old name-and look
how she had betrayed that trustl
why! Why! I'm no better than
Carroll!" she told herself fiercely.
Her eyes blinded with tears, she
managed to pull the car to the
side of the road. She flung her
arms about Tam and buried her
face in his shaggy black coat.
She had lost all. She was utterly
alone. In future she must pass
those lonely years as best she
might. And in agony of tears and
bitterness she reviewed all that
her infatuation had brought upon
her.
For an hour or more, she sat In
the car, abandoned to her grief.
Fortunately, the road was an un-
frequented one, and no one passed
her.
At last, Madge forced herself to
be calm. She dried her eyes and
drove slowly to the farm.
She put the car in the barn and
went slowly to the house. Celeste
was playing on the porch with a
pair of dull scissors.
"Lood Madge!' her little friend
called uot. I've been cutting out
pictures! See what a lovely shipw
Madge saw the photograph of the
magnificent yacht that would be
carrying Michael far far away
from her out of her life for
ever.
CHAPTER 25
AS Madge went through the
hall, Martha came out of the
kitchen.
Come back here minute" she
said, with note of anxiety IN
her voice, as she saw Madge's
face with the tear-stained cheeks.
I've just made some lemonade"
"Oh, / don't want any, thank
you" Madge answered listlessly.
But she followed Martha into the
big old-fashioned kitchen with its
notwithstanding pots and pans.
Martha poured out a glass or
lemonade and placed 1t near
Madge, who had taken a chair
at the table.
II don't want to be tactless,
Madge," she said as she put her
hand on Madge's shoulder, but

day before.

dressed Tam. 1T can't be! She's

Astonishment suddenly gave way
to rage SO red that Madge was
trembling.
But it must bel" she said
hoarsely. "It must be--and he's
lied again.
Without hesitation, without self
excuse, Madge ripped open the
envelope and read:
MY Sweetly irresponsible Hus-
band:
II got your address from Hardy,
who didn't want 10 give 1t to me
until / persuaded him that I'd
make trouble IL he didn't. This
is merely to remlpd you that /

a penny from you for nearly two
months. Don't wait to write, but

and received your drunken tnle-
gram from Pittsburgh. promising
funds which never arrived because
you never sent them Now let
me have little action. Your
more e-than-usually-disgusted wife,
AGNES"
Madge sank back in the car, ex.
hausted by the violence OF her
own anger But what good would
1t do her to rage? All along she
had known what Carroll was.
Again and again he had lied and
cheated. And vet, weak fool that
she had been. he had only to pro.
duce a telegram which obviously
he had written himself for her to
believe in the death of his wife!
And for this man, this cad, this
liar, inspired only by lust for her
beauty, she had given up every
thing. There was no reason for
doubt--the letter closed all loop
holes through which Carroll might
try to escape.
But Madge would make GER
tainty yet more certain. She
turned the car and drove back to
the postoffice, surprised at her
feeling OF colds bitterness.
After some delay, Madge was
talking in a booth over long-dis-
tance to Tarrytown. She imagined,
and it did not matter, that Agnes
Dudley would hardly remember
her voice.
This is Mr.. Dudley's secretary,
Mrs. Dudley" Madge said deci.
siveIy. when did YOU hear last

fore. "By the way. it was worded
I knew he was drunk when he
sent it from Pittsburgh. But what
want to know is-when is he
sending money? I didn't know he
had a secretary, but you can call
yourself that if you like. and"
"The money will he sent"
Madge retorted. But have you
been i'll, Mrs. Dudley?"
"Why the sudden considera-
tion?" that sneeringly cold voice
came over the wire. 1--WE never

that. but you can tell him for
me that he will support his wife
or the law will make him.
"I'n tell him. Mrs. Dudley"
Madce promised grimly as she
hung up the receiver.
She drove SLOWLY away again
toward the farm. What was left

much as though II were someone
else's problem instead of her own.

SOUTH WOODSTOCK

The South Woodstock Parent-Teach
err Association invited the Home and
School Association, School Board and
parents 10 meet with them for their
monthly meeting which was held at
the schoolhouse on Monday evening,
March II. There was an attendance
of seyenty-fve. Miss Goodhall. the
school nurse, gave a very interesting
outline Of her work in the schools, es-
pecially what was being accomplished
through the dental clinics. The hui
name posters made by school children
in the town were exhibited by Mr.. Rob-
ertson. Many interesting facts con-
corning the management Of the schools
and the work of the school board were
given by Mrs. Jordan. A discussion
followed as to the advisability of clos
ing the Hin school and opening the
primary room at south. A vote was
taken that II be the sense of the meet
ing that the Hill school remain open
and a suggestion made that the pri-
mary room at South be opened.
