hand. Hers was in his; he held it; and
then he let go.
Cathal drove away with calendar
superimposed over the other excite
ments in his mind. Today was the
twenty-fifth Of May. So Davis Ayre-
forth's birthday was four days and FIVE
months away. That meant that in all
probability he must make his heavy

would be May 29-just four days off.

his dreams Of her; with these, he was
haunted by desperate eyes and mems
bitten hpS-Linsdale's and Ayreforth's.
Cathal did not forget Davis. He re-
ceived on the twenty eighth the full
special reports which he had ordered
from the commercial agencies, and
further, verbal report from his own
investigator; and on the forenoon of
the twenty ninth, Cathal went to Davis
office.
Davis, after a time, sent out word
he could not see Mr.. O'Mara.
Cathal, standing, stared past the Sec
rotary who brought this message; he
strobe past her, then, and tried to
turn the knob Of Mr.. Ayreforth's door.
1t did not turn. 1t was locked.
Perhaps, during his wait, Cathal I'M
consciously had prepared the plan
which Immediately he adopted. He
had not expected exactly this situa-
ton; but he did not delay an instant.
He went to the window of the outer
office which adjoined the partition wall.
1t was open, and he stepped out upon
the sill. A twin window, also open,
was on the other side of the partition,
with step between their stills. Cathal
caught the sash and made the step
and he was In Davis Office.
Only after he had entered did Davis
seem to have heard him. Davis was
sitting at his desk with pen In his hand

write something.
He jerked about. dropping his pen.
He saw O'Mara, and started to rise
but he did not. His hand darted to
an open drawer beside him, and came
up with a pistol, which he lifted, not
toward Cathal, but toward his own
head.
Cathal caught him; and they fought
for the pistol.

Less Monthly Discomfort

Many women, who formerly suf-
fered from a weak, rundown con-
dition as a result Of poor assimila-
ton of food, say they benefited by
taking CARDUI, a special medicine
for women. They found it helped to
increase the appetite and improve
digestion, thereby bringing them
more strength from their food.
Naturally there is less discomfort
at monthly periods when the system
has been strengthened and the vari-
GUS functions restored ndregulated.
Cardui, praised by thousands of women,
Is well worth trying. OF course, If not
benefited, consult physician.

membered, and another girl closer and closer together. Suddenly the walls had closed in around her and she had escaped.
 She had not gone fer when she be- came aware that she was being fol- lowed. She began to walk faster, then to run. It was lonely and she had been warned to beware of vag- rants. One encounter with lawless- ness in Paris had been enough. Then she decided that she couldn't outrun a man. She might as well see what he wanted. Or he might even pass her. Some people ran for exercise, not to get away from peo- pie or catch up with people.
 She stopped and waited. The man called, 'Marcia2"
 "Philp
 He came up to her. There was water and sand around them. Miles of sky above them. No lights except the beacon on a lighthouse, some where far at sea. Quite sud- denly Phil's arms had gone around her and his lips were pressing hers.
 
 When he dropped his arms, in the dim waterlight, she saw that his face was white and drawn. Forgive me, Marcia. That was the last thing in Heaven or earth I intended to do."
 "But - why?" she asked so gent- ly that the words went drifting down the empty beach.
 "Why?" He repeated the word almost fiercely. Why? Because you love another man and"
 "But I don't. Phil," she inter- rupted softly. T love youl"
 "You-what?" Even the dark ness did not conceal the surprise on his face. Say it again, Marcia mo, don't say itl" You mustn't"
 "But I must" she repeated steadily. T love you. Not Bob."
 She was not prepared to have Phil drop down on rock, put his head in his hands, she was not prepared for the shudder that went through his body.
 Marcia, Marcia darling" he said minute later when he had grown quieter. "This is He'll I love you. I went bicycling to fig- ure things out because I thought 1t was no good. And I've got Q duty to perform by somebody else -don't misunderstood he. I'm fond of Camilla. thought l loved her. Maybe I can--" But his voice belied the hoplessness of his own belief.
 "What are we going to do?"
 It was Marcia who asked the question, in a little while, eyes on Q sailboat that was litle more than @ blur on the ocean. She did not want to look at Phil. It was enough to feel his nearness.
 Forget each other, Marcia. my dearest. What else can we do?" He who had been 50 strong and capable could offer no solution this time. The girl who had asked the question knew that.
 Forget each other" she rec peated. But anyway, Phil, I'm glad you told me. I'm glad you love mel It's something" She smiled crokedly. Something to pack up for @ rainy day"
 twill you do something for me?" he asked in 8 strange, tense voice.
 "What is it, Phil?"

Well, that ended that. Definite ly. He was strangely disappoint- ed, oddly relieved that he would not see her again. He had left his luggage at the hotel, with word that 1t was to be forwarded to him if he did not return to Paris. Now he waited long enough to pick up @ bag, then caught the next train south to Nice.
 He had sent a telegram, and @ pony cart met him at the train.
 "The guests are all at the beach, Monsiuer. You are to join them there," the driver explained.
 Getting into black trunks Phil told himself that he was the master of his own mind. If he said that the provocative, tender lips, and wide gray eyes of a certain young lady should get out of his art gallery of faces, 1t shouldl Then he ran down to the water, and stared straight irl- to that face.
 "Marcial You here?"
 Marcia, glancing into his pug zled blue eyes, aware of the long, strong brown body, fashioned to weather wind and rain and sea, could only nod. So Phil had come. Had come to Camilla be- cause he knew that she would need him. Well, there were plen- ty of ships to America. She could take one of them any minute she wanted to.
 1T asked for you in Paris" Phil was saying, throwing his long body on the sand.
 T left Paris when you did and came here." Funny that she could think of so few things to say. "The water is beautiful today. Want to swim I'll race you to the raft"
 She was crazy to think that Phil looked disappointed - her mind was playing freak tricks. Phil had come to Nice to see another girl. He hadn't even known that she, Marcia, was here. He had just said so.
 They raced to the raft where a chorus of eager voices greeted them.
 "Hi, Kirby, it's good to see you againp That was Bob.
 'Hello-sort of old home week." Marcia noticed the lack of warmth in Phil's return greeting. No wonder, she unused. He wouldn't want Bob around as a rival when he had come to plead his case with Camilla. She did not know that Phil was thinking: "So this is it. Of course Bob would be along wherever Marcia is. I'm a damned fooll"
 The water at Nice was very black that night. It stretched away, acres and acres and acres of 1t. The stars were bright but there was no moon. Marcia in a frothy blue dress, had been quiet at dinner. No one had noticed, she decided, because every one else had 50 much to say. Even Camilla, for whom everyone was supposed to be sorry, was merrier than usual. But Marcia understood that. Phil had come back and Camilla must feel safe again.
 After dinner, Marcia went up- stairs and changed to a white sports dress and some white walking shoes. She grabbed 8 woolly white coat. slipped out side door, and started on walk along the beach. It was too hard to stay in the house where the music, the laugh ter, the light voices, wove a spell that drew young man with eyes that were bluer than she had re-

1y the time Phil Kirkby saw the announcement of the decline of the Howe fortune in the Paris Herald, Che newspaper was two days old. He read the news one morning in 8 ezlAll pension, where he had order. ed breakfast and was lamenting the fact that orange juice was not a morning beverage on the continent.
 When he put the paper down he was silent. There was one thing only to do. He must go to Camilla. He always had been near when she needed him. At that he smiled grimly. She never before had need Cd him. But she had known he was there something like Q rock of Gibraltar or the stone that was sacred to the Pilgrim Fathers or something else linniovable. Phil was disgusted with himself. He had dreamed of the girl with bright, light hair and brilliant blue eyes for years. He had taken the first ship to France to see if she really was dee velopislg serious symptoms for an Austrian embassy attache. Now she needed him.
 He got on his bicycle and rode ail day, not stopping for lunch. At dusk he sent a telegram to Camilla at the Continentaie.
 "Afn taking train to Paris to- night. Wait for me-" He had llesitAted over the next word. Then he had added, Affection. ateiy, Phil"
 Camilla had been fond of him always in her way. Now that she could no longer play at love and romance she would turn to him We'll = he had asked for it long enough.
 When he reached the hotel in Paris he found two messages. One from Camilla and one from Ma xior. Each urged him to join the house party at once.
