He did, however, obtain a
long leave of absence and went
home for the first time in four
years. He had spent years
roaming the world and never
quite found the time for a
visit to his home.
There was no one to notify
that he was coming so he ar
rived in Clarksburg unan-

the old home from which his
mother had been buried nearly
a month before.
He let himself in with the
latchkey which he had carried

Standing in the room before

Undoubtedly she was a girl,
though she wasn't dressed in
the clothes of a girl. Ir fact.
she was dressed in the most
curious costume imaginable.
Her dress lay on the bed and
she had kicked off her shoes.
Her slender legs were in silk
stockings but above them was
a pair of riding brceches, the

Merit Leads to Success
BY Lucy Lowell

AN illuStrious statesman re-
N marked the other day that
there is but one straight road
to SuCceSs-merit.
The man who is successful
is the man who is useful" he
says. Capacity never lacks op-
portunity. 1t can not remain
undiscovered because it is
sought by too many anxious to
use it"
am aware as I write this
that it will be disputed by
many, 1t will be disputed by
numbers who have worked hard
and long and have not arrived
within hailing distance of sue
cess; and it will be disputed
by some who have reached sue
cess not through merit but by
devious methods, ways which
are looked upon as legitimate

Lovejoy's eyes followed her.

She bit off each word. Because
