"VOU must have mistaken the
4 name, May" she said coolly.
Captain Farquahar and I knew a
Captain Holmes in France, but l
haven't met him since returned to
America, so the incident you refer to
has no possible connection"
1t was rather incoherent, that ex-
PLANTATION, and didn't help matters,
except that it tipped May off to the
fact that she was treadtng on very
dangerous ground.
At that moment a page came to
inform, Farquahar that telephone
call he had put in some time before
had been answered, and he went
away, with a murmured excuse.
Lila turned furiouSly to May
Varney.
why on earth did you have to
babble about Gilroy Holmes in
front of Farquahar? They were
brother officers"
But you just said" began May
bewilderedly, and then: ooh, have
put my foot in it! Lila, I'm sorry,
honestly. I only wanted to rag you
a bit, because you got me into an
awful mess with my husband over
that foreign romance story. Jack
hasn't forgiven me yet, and he's as
suspicious as can be. How could 1
guess that there was any connection
between this Farquahar man and
Holmes?"
"You couldn't. But I wish you'd
suppressed your sense of humor-or
your sense of spite, whichever it
was"
Mrs. Varney flushed resentfully.
"If I were you and were carrying
on Irritation with a man in my
own husbands Office, wouldn't be
so high-hat."
Lila stared.
"You don't actually think I'm hav-
ing Irritation with Gil Holmes?"
May tossed her head deflantly.
well, 7 don't see any other reason
for your pretending to be ill when
you saw him at my dinner-party.
Ard, don't forget, you confessed to
me that you didn't want to meet
him, because you'd had past in
France.
They both became aware of a
shadow that fell athwart the table.
How long Jack Farquahar had been
standing there, neither could have
told.

CHAPTER xxxVI.
Another Lively Ghost

IT was nearing dusk of a spring
l. afternoon when a rather shabby,
middle-aged man, with a bald head
and a cheerily red nose Of Dubious
contour climbed the impressive
steps Of the Latham house and
pressed the ELECTRIC bell.
The butler opened the door and,
after brief survey of the caller,
said severely:
1.-The tradesmen's entrance is in
the rear"
Il came to see Mr.. Latham" said
the little man meekly. I'm a-er-
sort of relative. Brother of his late
wife"
The butler looked decidedly
doubtful, but he stepped aside.
Two minutes later, Lila's father
rose from comfortable chair in
his study and said, with notice
able reservation in his heartiness:
well, we'll, so you're back again,
DAMP"
Like the bad penny, Len" nodded
the visitor. But don't you go and
get alarmed. I'm not staying.
Leaving tonight with some pals on
MY way west"

HO70 Bright Is
YON1" Baby?

Yesterday we were talking about
baby'S hands and how he uses them.
Baby's hands are very dear and
they are very important.
They are so interesting that we
are going to talk about them again
today.
Check the things you have seen
your baby do. Then look at the key
to see when the average baby does
them.
1. Picks up objects, shakes
them, examines them,
then puts them in his
mouth. }
2. Opens and shuts boxes
and drawers. { }
3. Catches ball. { }
4. Points to indicate his
wishes. { }
Is your baby going to be right or
left-handed?
You will enjoy watching him to
see.
Make these experiments to see
what he yes. Then turn to the
key again.
5. Gently stroke his chin.
See what happens }
6. Tap his right cheek.
Which corner of the
mouth does he draw up? { }
7. With which hand does he
support his weight the
longer? }
8. Which thumb does he
suck? }
g. When he is sitting COM
fortably with his arms
left bare and free, which
hand does he use to reach
for objects placed in
front of him? { }
10. Which hand does he use
to hold his rattle? }
IL. With which hand does he
wave, "bye-bye?" }

"a billet doux from one of your
SweetieS, Miss Hathaway" Miss
Harris, the switchboard operator
who received and assorted the mail,
called to Crystal on Monday morn
ing. "And what an elegant taste
In stationery he has!'
Even before her fingers closed
upon the cheap, vivid pink envelope,
Crystal knew whom it was from.
She had mentioned, indiscreetly
perhaps, to Pablo Mendoza that she
worked for the Lincoln Pruitt Hard
ware Company. The address, writ
ten in pencil, was in struggling capt.
tails. In one corner, Pablo had
naively added, "EstadoS UnidoS."
Looks like it's from that for
eign guy you've been limiting about" >
Miss Harris observed cattily. "He
may be strong on looks, but gather
he's sort Of weak on education"
Crystal thrust the pink envel-
open unopened into her handbag.
She would rather die than read it
before Miss Harris and Miss
Morse, who were all eyes and ears.
1t was over her solitary luncheon
that she dared slit the poor cheap
little envelope and draw out the
single sheet of painfully inscribed
pink notepaper that it contained
knowing that any message Pablo
might write her would be in Span
ish, Crystal had taken the precau-
ton of bringing along her Span
ish-English dictionary. With its
aid she laboriously translated Pab-
los anguished protest.
"Alme de mi corazon," the let
ter began. ''Soul Of my heart
and tears so filled Crystals eyes
that she could not go on with her
translating for a long minute.
So he did love herl This-thiS
pathetic, cheap pink thing was her
first real love letter! Her hands
trembled.

IT have received back my poor
little gifts Pablo had written
her. "Of course L knew that they
were not splendid enough for you,
my adored one. But with them
went Pablo's love, his alteration.
81 am desolate. Is it that you
are ashamed of your Pablo? You will
be glad to know that the bull did
not escape" Crystal laughed SO
Historically that other stenograph-
ers, eating meager lunches from
aluminium trays in the cafeteria,
looked at her in surprise.
But she did not know, would not
have cared "Tell me it is not
the end, alma de mi corazon, dia-
mantle mia. Come again to our
woods, to Pablo who awaits you with
bleeding heart"
During a free ilalf hour that aft
ernoon the tormented girl wrote
seven answers to Pablo's appeal,
and tore them all up, one by one.
She could not express her con-
fused contradictory thoughts in
Spanish, and Pablo, she knew,
could not read English. The die
tionary was of not use at all SO far
as lenses of verbs were concerned.
He final attempt was simply, mo
puedo venir"-"I cannot come"
But even after it was in an en-
velope, stamped and addressed,
Crystal. tore it up. She could not
hurt him like that.
That evening Tony Tarver had
dashed across the street for a
snatched half hour of gossip with
her chum between dates. She
found Crystal in her bedroom weep
ing forlornly.

get Coolidge to declare war on

CHAPTER XXXV
A Disastrous Impression

A Disastrous Impression
T lila fairly flew to the Ritz that
IL afternoon to keep her appoint
ment with Farquahar. She was
thoroughly angry. How dared he
try to shadow her! First, at Doro-
thy's studio, and then at her fathers
house!
Sooner or later, she knew he'd be
sure to ind out something, If this
attempted surveillance kept on.
ST think it's too disgraceful Of
you, Jack" she reproached him over
the tea. II won't be followed about
like this. It makes me feel like a
criminal, and, besides, you've no
right"
81 have the right of man whose
fiancee refuses openly to acknowl-
edge the engagement. And don't
forget that this is more than the
conventional engagement; we made
marriage pledge to each other in
the presence of witnesses. In my
mind, at least, it was almost as
binding as a marriage ceremony.
Lila nearly was in tears.
"It's hulniliating, what you're do
ing. Think of the servants gosSip!"
"You saw me in front of your
fathers house?" he asked quietly.
Everybody saw you"
"Then why dilin't you ask me to
come in?"
Lila made an exaSperated gesture.
Haven't told you that 1 dare
not? My f1ancee-"
Farquahar interrupted her: II am
your f1ance. Will you understand
that? Lila, I can't stand this wait
ing any longer. Marry me secretly,
if you like, and break the news to
your father and that internal Shy
lock when you please. But marry
me today"
She was aghast at the violence of
his manner.
"Oh, Jack!" she was beginning
And then Mary Varney descended
upon them, with a smile, malice
Il q
"TNEA for two? How sweet! Lila,
l. you're looking simply ravish-
ing" Her bright eyes looked Far
quahar up and down and found him
good.
Lila made the presentation stifhy,
and, as May continued to linger,
she was forced to say:
won't you join us?'
ooh, may I? You're sure / shan't
be de trop?" May seated herself
with alacrity. "Just until my party
arrives, if you're positive I shan't
disturb you" Her look and tone
spoke volumes.
Lila could have shaken her. She
was uneasy, too. May was unusual
ly gushing, which meant that there
were claws beneath the velvet.
Lila recalled that May was none
too pleased at getting into trouble
with her husband on the strength
of that foreign romance yarn.
Where is Mr.. Holmes these
days?" May startled her by asking.
"N!r. Holmes?" echoed Lila blank
ly.
"Yes-the favored one before the
last" cooed May, smiling rougishly
at Farquahar.
IT really don't know what you're
talking ABOUT" said Lila coldly.
May laughed.
IT dare say you've found out,
Captain Farquahar, that Lila is the
soul of reticence, perfect sphinx.
You never know what she's up to-"
MAY, you're simply babbling.. I
don't know any Mr.. Holmes" Lila
was uncomfortably aware that Far
quahar was looking at her f1xedly.
"Really?" said May sweetly. But
I thought you said you knew him in
France-that night at my dinner
party" she stopped, with a ludi-
crous expression.
