Ellen.
Suddenly they saw her, in a door
way a hundred feet away, talking
to some other marketing woman.
The same Ellen, with her blue
honest eyes and her sensitive, sweet
mouth. There was some new qual
ity in her face and manner: what
was It?—responsibility, gravity,
tenderness, Joe could not tell.
He walked up to her, and she
raised surprised eyes.
“Mornln’, Mis’ Josselyfi!”
The puzzled look in her eves
changed swiftly, and she put her
hands out and caught at him vague
ly, as if to hold a dream.
“Joe Latimer! Joe!” She groped
for her handkerchief, laughing as
she wiped her eyes; tears of joy
stood in his own. “But Joe dear
what brings you, here! I simply
can’t believe It! I can’t believe my
eyes!” she said.
"Lizzie brought me 1” Joe grinned.

Apply Sulphur as Told When
Your Skin Breaks Out.
Any breaking out of the skin
on face, neck, arms or body is
overcome quickest by applying
Mentho-Sulphur. The pimples
seem to dry right up and go
away, declares a noted skin spe
cialist.
Nothing has ever jeen found to
take the place of sulphur as a
pimple remover, It is harmless
and inexpensive, Just ask any
druggist for a small jar of Row

like cold cream.—(adv.)

Named for me? My own tiny

to Lizzie, and stood for a moment,
resting her hands'on the car door,
and still trying to regain her breath
after the surprise. “Well, now, I’ll

Here and^therein the slopes a

in trees. Ellen pointed at a slop
Ing roof, half-way between the ridge
and the shore,
"That’s the house,” she told them,
“It belonged to Mr. Perry, who
knows Gibbs, you know, and he
loaned It to us at first. But we
loved It so we couldn’t think of
nlovln « away, and a year ago Gibbs
bought It.”
"It’s a wonderful life to me,”
Ellen admitted thoughtfully. And
as she made no motion to start the
car, but sat twisted about in her
seat, looking down vaguely at the
sea, Joe wondered again what that
new look in her eyes meant. “We
can’t get enough of it,” she added.
“It’s all so deliciously simple, and
so free: like being children again,
It's taken us back to our summers
in Brittany. George and Harriet
were here in—in July, I think it
was. Gibbs’ friends are always go
Ing and coming through San Fran
cisco, and they come down!”
“Lord, what air!” Joe said, with
a deep breath. The sweet tbroi|gh odor of
the pines was drifting the
still warmth.
“Oh, It’s marvelous, Joe. em

I wanted to say to you,” she add
ed, a little uncertainly, “was—I
thought I would just tell you—
They were appalled to hear a
sudden thickening in her voice, and
to see that her utmost effort could
not keep her eyes from watering.
“You know that Gibbs hasn’t
been well, don’t you?” she asked,
hastily.
“You wrote that he wasn’t well,
some time ago—” Joe began hesi
tatingly.
“You’ll see—a change,” Ellen
added. “And of course you mustn’t
let him see that you see It.” She
lost control of her voice again.
“I should think that this climate
would build him up again,” Lizzie
ventured, a little timidly. Joe
looked at her gratefully, and Ellen
quickly grasped the thread of com
fort.
“Oh, Lizzie, It will—they all say
It will 1” she snld eagerlr. winin'*

« I STORY that instantly whets the ap
petite of readers of mystery fiction
is one in which the criminal, while
introduced at the beginning, is so clev
erly concealed that his identity can
hardly be suspected, even by the most
expert guessers, until the plot is devel
oped to a climax and the tale is ended.
This is such a story. Read it and see
how the author unfolds the plot. The
writer gave to the reading public that
fascinating novel, “The Girl in the Mir
ror.” You will find “The Blue Circle as
amusing and thrilling as was the former.

her eyes. 'But immediately they
brimmed again, and the dark head
and the crushed white hat went
down on the back of the seat; she
burst Into tears. “Oh, Joe—Joe—
Joe! H#« hot going to get well!”
she sobbed.
4* Ellen T” Joe said, aghast.
“Oh, I know It,” Ellen said pres
ently, lifting her head, and reso
lutely regaining her self-control. “I
know It! I am sure he does, too.
Pm sorry to break down this way,
but I dcrfl*t often, have a chance,”
she added penitently, with a wa
tery spille. “I never let him see
that—that It's killing me, too.”
“But, Ellen, what Is It?” Lizzie
asked, fearfully.
“Well, he was sick, after that ter
rible two months, you know, Ellen
said, reflectively, He looked—
don’t you remember how he looked?
And then -one day Doctor Cutter
said, just casually, (I'd go some
where where It’s hot and dry, El
len. He’s been under a terrible
mental and physical strain and he’s
managed -to get a heavy cold, and
there's a Tittle affection of the
lung.’ Joe, how-eonld I ever dream
H was that! We came to Santa
Barbara, and the Perrys wrote us
about Los Antonios, and Gibbs did
seem better; he ate well, and usu
ally slept -pretty well—”
Her voice dropped to utter si
lence, and they could hear the
steady, soft rush at the sea again.
“But after awhile;” Ellen pres
ently went on, “I saw he wasn’t
gainings—I saw that he wasn’t gain
Ing! He began to have bad nights,
and he didn’t eat -so well—1 After
awhile I wrote the Santa Barbara
doctor, and he wrote back that Just
before we left flflbbs had been In to
see him, and <*rat he thought he
could not improve upon hi* Instrnc
tions then: to sleep In the open
air, and live simply, and nvt catch
cold. So Gibbs knows, hut tie never
spoke of that to me.
‘ Lately,” she finished, "he has
been keeping to hie couch a good
deal; he doesn’t Join us In garden
tug or picnics, as he did last year,
Weill I only wanted to warn you.
Perhaps It Is my own fancy, partly.
And, Joe—what a year we have
hadl A whole year of paradise,
nothing but each other, and Tom,
muslr, and books and thf garden,
and the ocean! It has blotted out
all the bitterness—wiped out the
past. The Perrys called the house

She started the car down the
grade, presently turning In at an
opening in a stone wall that was so
smothered in vines, so closely sur
rounded with the oelor scheme of
greens and browns about It as to
be almost Invisible.
“Oh. pretty!” Llxale said. Invol
untarily.
“This is the house;” Ellen smiled.
“Welcome, *you darTings! Give me
that angel. Lizzie, 1 want to show
her to Gibbs!”
She led them tlmmgh the wide
side hall, where great logs waited
In a stone fireplace, :and bowls of
flowers glowed In a tempered light.

the great front ^ veranda, and here
Ellen ran with the baby.

mer, Gibbs —T
It was well that they had been
warned of what change they might
find In him, for Lizzie caught a
flulck breath as She saw him. and It
required all Joels presence of mind
to go forward and greet him natur
ally.
He was still handseme—Gibbs
would always be that But he was
painfully thin, and seemed strnnge
ly aged. His dark, splendid eyes
ghone In a thin face whose temples
blazed sometime* with an uneasy
color. The ring he always wore
was loose on the fine long hand,
His hair was an even silvery white,
His manner was changed, too.
There was a gravity, a sweetness
and a certain heroic serenity about
him that seemed to lift them all
into the plane of simple endurance
and renunciation. Lizzie and Joe
knew, as they settled laughing Into
porch chairs to taJk to him, that
Ellen's worst fears were none too
grave,
Like Gibbs himself, they must ac
cept the thing as a finality. Them
was no dispute. They found them
selves suddenly confident and gay,
as human beings, forced to accept
their own helplessness, usually be
come. This was in the Mature of a
catastrophe; it was almost as If
they had come to California to find
that Glbbe was dead.
The exquisite hours went on. Be
low the dark, cool space of the
porch the Pacific spread In glitter
tag band. The little crescent of
beach wtyte sand bared that by was their own
was a lazily reced
tag tide. The garden odors and the
resinous smell of the pines
permeated breath by the bracing salt
of the sea.

Christmas Tree Worth
More Than Small Coat
Are we justified In sacrificing
some five million trees for the an
nual Christmas festival?
There has been much discussion
In the past few years over this
question of Christmas trews, In view
of the rapid depletion of our forests
and the increase In the waste land
area.
There are those who stoutly con
tend that It Is a foolish custom of
pagan origin, not worthy of per
petuation in this enlightened Chris
tian age, and that it is a senseless
destruction of millions of young,
thrifty trees that are so much need
ed to supply the timber require
ments of the country.
But strangely enough, the for
esters as a class, those who are
most Interested In conserving tree
growth, do not share this concern
about the Christmas tree. They are
Interested In growing treeg and hav
ing them used for their highest
good. If a ten-year-old tree, of
which 2,000 or more can be grown
upon a single acre, can give so much
joy, what better use can be made
of the trees?
The custom Is so well established
that It will never he wholly dis
carded, and why should it be? Is It
not the Christmas tree that gives
the setting for the celebration?
What, than Is more Christmas delightful to children
the tree with Its
candles or electric lights, silver
trimmings, tinsel and the other
things that go with It? Take away
the Christmas tree and you have
removed the chief charm. It is the
something that is eloquent of senti
ment and that has a much higher
value than the cost of the tree. It is
not to be measured by economic
considerations or commercial com
putations.—Frank Herbert Sweet.
