while, put it back in the envelope
and went in to see If her mother
was still asleep. She would want
to know if Rod had wired.
BERTHE Louis eyes filled with
tears at sight of that dear, gentle
face with its halo of gray. She
wanted to sink down and press nel
face to the pillow beside it and poul
out her heart-break.
But the nurse beside the bed put
a silencing finger to her lips anc
BERTHE Lou backed away quietly
This was the rest that meant life
to her mother the after-crisiS
sleep.
The next day she showed hel
mother the telegram and told hel
what fortunate thing it was fol-
Rod to be invited to The Birches
She had decided, after a restless
night, not to mention anything
about Rod and Lila.
Her mother knew that BERTHE Lot
and Lila were now apparently or
friendly terms. BERTHE LOUIS letters
revealed this information, also Cy-
rus generosity and the splendid
future that Rod had with him.
But her mother was too ill to
hear the truth now, she reflected
And so she pretended to be pleased
with Rods wire.
And to carry out the pretense she
sent him an answer as requested.
Yes, her mother was out Of danger.
However, she was omhlouSly silent
regarding her own plans.
When Rod received the telegram
he began to feel deeply offended.
Why couldn't BERTHE Lou have
shown more considerations There
was no need to worry now over her
mothers condition.

And she was too wise in the ways
OF men to insist upon accompany
ing him.
Whats the news?" she asked.
She knew he had received a wire
just a few minutes before. Rod
took it from his pocket and handed
it to her.
Lila could scarcely conceal her
satisfaction on learning that BERTHE
LOUIS plans for returning were not
even mentioned.
She handed back the paper, ex-
pressing qualification that Mrs
Ward was on her wey to recovery
She felt that Rod had no real
ground now for Directing to a little
gaiety so she telephoned to Molly
and asked her and Tom to come
up for the night.
A neighboring couple also were
reached by telephone. They brought
an extra girl. That made enough
for two tables of bridge. Rod played
absent-mindedly until, after several
partners had said things in plain
words, Lila suggested clearing the
room for dancing.
Rod asked the extra girl to dance

"COTNG to the BircheS with the
W Lorees. =" AZ

"COTNG to the Birches with the
1t was a crushing blow, to BERTHE
Lou, that message from Rod. She
slumped weakly down on her little
old nanny rocker, too heartsick to
cry, and sat there while the pendu-
lum of her wavering faith swung
back to the point which it had
reached when she made up her
mind to return to Wayville on the
first available train.
That was just after she had tie
phoned Rods office and learned that
he was with Lila. No wonder, she
had Knocked herself, that Lila had
been so willing to break their
luncheon engagement when instead
she could lunch with Rod.
The shock of obtaining further
proof of something between her
husband and his old sweetheart,
coming with the news of her moth
er'S illness, had thrown Bertic. Lou
into frenzy of unthinking haste.
She packed most of her clothes,
telephoned for Pullman reserva-
ton, and rushed off to the station
without thought of her theater
engagement with Lila.
But once she had settled herself
on the train. reaction to her i'm
petuous step had brought her face
to face with the true aspect of her
unannounced leave taking. a.
She had packed so many things,
and her note had been so brutally
abrupt. . Fl. Rod would think she
had left him /. perhaps he would
guess that she had discovered his
reawakened interest in Lila,
There was still enough faith left
in BERTHE LOUIS heart to foster a
hope that Rod could explain why
he had lied to her.
This hope had grown steadily
until she regretted that she hadn't
given him a chance to defend him
self. Several times she was on the
point of sending him a telegram
but always her pride stood in the
way. uf
Suppose Rod could explain Sup
pose he had found lit convenient
a relief, as it were-to have her
out of the way? - a
And surely, if he were innocent,
he would be amazed at the sud-
denness of her departure. He would
wire, or write, rrantically-inspired
demands for explanations.
She would know then how to
Judge him. She had yet to learn
that it is fatal to ones peace of
mind or happiness to lay out lines
of conduct for other persons to
follow.
Rod, puzzled and beginning to
feel abused, had waited for word
from her; had expected it, still ex-
pected it, and to avoid any delay in
its transmission had sent a reply
address with his inquiry regarding
her mothers condition. sd sas

CHAPTER XVI (Continued)

Lila did not hear from Rod that
night. She telephoned to him the
next afternoon. No, he had not
heard anything new. Lila detected a
suggestion of tension in his voice.
Were a couple of deserted half
shells" she laughed. 81 expected
Cy home today, but he wired he
won't be here. I wish you'd come
up to dinner, Rod" e
Again Rod declined to dine, with
her. But Lila was not to be denied.
When he reached home he found
her comfortably settled in an easy
chair, waiting to dine with him.
Il don't see any reason why we
should be lonesome alone" she ex-
planned. 1--WE needn't make a party
of it,
Before the dinner was over Rod
was glad of her company. Her
chatter helped to take his mind off
his increasing anxiety over BERTHE
LOUIS strange behavior. 1t had
bothered him in his work.
He couldn't quite understand it.
Surely if she hadn't had time before
her departure to pen more than a
brief note, at least she'd had plenty
of time on the train.
He ought to have had letter this
morning. None arrived. He had
gone to the Office disturbed and
perplexed.
Once, when his mind fell away
from some remark Lila made, he
told himself that BERTHE Lou might
have been too worried about her
mother, too upset, to write. 9TH

how her mother is"
After dinner Lila insisted that he
walk home with her. 1t was a
glorious spring night, with sap
phire sky and soft breeze that
felt like balm to faces not so long
since accustomed to icy blasts.
IF it stays warm we're going up
to Connecticut for the Weekend"
Lila said. ICY will be in tomorrow.
Suppose you come along with us,
Rod. 1t will do you good to get out
of the city. In fact, 1 think I'd like
to go even if it does turn cold. What
do you say? Will you Gomez"
why, I don't know" Rod hest
tated. II want to be where BERTHE
Lou can reach me by wire"
Lila laughed. CONNECTICUT isn't in
Africa, you know Wire ner you're
gonig up with us for few days. She
knows the address. There's a tele-
graph office along here somewhere,
think. Do it now, then you won't
change your mind"
Rod weighed the prospect of
good tramp in the country against
a lonely weekend in the city and
decided in favor of the tramp.
BERTHE Lou herself answered the
door and received his message. Her
mother was sleeping, but two neigh
hors were in the parlor looking over
a seed catalogue. So BERTHE Lou
took the telegram up to her old
room where she could read it I'M
disturbed.
Her fingers trembled as she tore
open the envelope. She derided
herself for her eagerness. She
didn't want to love lying cheat so
much that a few words from him
could set her heart futtering and
make her breath come short. But it
was her way of loving Rod, no mat
ter how much she was trying to
hate him.
She had not admitted it to her
SELF but she had been hoping and
waiting for this messagae with more
longing than she'd ever expert
enced in her life.
Perhaps Rod could explain. He
might even say he was coming on
the next train. Her eyes lighted
eagerly as she unfolded the sheet
of paper.

Right Kind of Music
Helpful in Sickness

Music can cure some sicknesses.
1t helps practically ALL But it must
be the right kind of music to have

This statement was made by Mrs.

the National Association for Music in
Hospitals which arranges thousands
of ward concerts all over the country.
For 80 years Mrs. nsen has studied
the effects of music on the sick.

clicked their castanets at his bedside.
"Music stimulates tagging appetites.
II quiets nerves. Mental cases have
found peace listening to a beautiful
voice or a soothing harp.
But it must be the right kind of
music The wrong kind is fatal. Mu

Therefore, | feel that the programs
given in hospitals should be scientific

need careful training, just as doctors
and nurses do. Music for the sick
should be considered in a category
with medicine, and the kind of dose
and the amount should be regulated"
