little to be relied upon as a weather
vane. And Miss Mona was like a
child when 1t came to handling
money.
She found things even worse than
she had feared. Miss Mona had am
pie credit In the city and she had
drawn upon 1t to the limit.
There had been something like a
family row when Cynthia had de
cided on the gift shop. Miss Nona's
idea was that Cynthia should use
the money her father had left her
to pay off these worrying bills. It's
so unpleasant having people call
about theml' The Captains idea
was similar to that.
Cynthia had pointed out patiently
that IL she used her money to pay
the bills there would be nothing for
them to live on. She had rented the
little shop, naming 1t the Odds and
Ends In a moment Of grim discour-
agement. It seemed to her that was
all that was left to her of the beau
tlful life she had planned for her
self; just odds and ends of cour-
age and happiness and ambition and
the will to carry on.
The store prospered. Little by little
she had begun to pay off that stag.

all of 1t was spent on Tenny, after
all.

thought, tossing restlessly on her
pillow.
Once released the worries began
to swarm about her like buzzIng

The foreign element In Srinagar
increases yearly. From the terrible

army people, seeking the cool air
and health of the hills, and these
bring with them the influence of
English manners and customs, and,
better still, OF English fair play.

you will buy.
The native industries of Kashmir,
alas, have cheapened and some have
almost died out entirely. No longer,

But Cynthia was the exception to
the rule. She clung to each day In
the hospital as though 1t were a ref

home, dreaded indescrlbably to take
up her life again. She longed to pro

Geoff Falls In Love.
She fell asleep.

CYNTHIA was coming homel
" The Cary house hummed with
preparation for her arrival. Geoff
had preparations of his own to
make. The first was the prideful
arrangement of small pile of re-
ceipted bills. He positively swelled
with triumph every time he looked
at those bills. Not Cynthia herself
could have done better, he thought.
He considered that II anybody ever
deserved the commendation: "Well
done, thou good and faithful serv-
ant" he did.
He hurried home from the labora-
tory that night. In response to his
eager question Miss Mona told him
he might go up and see Cynthia.
She lay on the old chalse Tongue
which had belonged to her grand
mother. She wore a silk and lace
negllgee. Her hair was tied back
with ribbon, giving her a little
girl look which touched him In
expressibly. Her blue eyes were
fixed on something he could not
see.
Something happened to Geoff while
he stood there gazing at her. He
had experienced many emotions
where Cynthia was concerned: dis
approval resentment, downright dis
like; then dlsmay, remorse. ardent
admiration for her courage and
cleverness. Now all these feelings

to see her. His visit would commit
her to nothing. But how blessed
the relief of dropping on to his
broad shoulders the heavy load she
carried!
In addition to the warm liking she
had always had for him, there was
now the glamour of his great
wealth. Money meant everything In
the world to her now, she thought.
