When he returned to where Miss Wardin stood, wrapped about in her misery, his fists were clenched and the veins stood out. on the back of hi: hands. “Scoundrel I” he muttered. “Scoun drel ! And I have been tied to him. I have let him bind me; I have let him set the standards. Well, now I know him.” There was a menace in his last words that frightened even Gladys Wardin, well though she knew the menace was not to her, but ranged in her defense. “Here," he said, taking some Dills from his pocket. "You must tell him you can’t go—tell him you won’t go; you must return his money. I will lend you what you need. Don’t be afrnid. I will go with you—” “But I can’t take your money, either, Mr. Elden,” she protested. “I can’t stay here any longer. I will have no job and I can’t pay you back. You see I can’t take it, even from you. What a fool I was! For a few clothes—" “You will continue to work—for me," he said. She shook her head. “No, I can’t. I can’t. I can’t work anywhere near him.” “You won’t need to. The firm of Conward & Elden will be dissolved at once. I have always felt that there was something false in Conward— something that wouldn’t stand test. Now I know.” There was a sound of a key in the street door, and Conward entered.

Conward paused as he entered the room. He had evidently not expected to find Elden there, but after a mo ment of hesitation he nodded cordially to his partner. “Almost ready, Miss Wardin?” he asked, cheerily. “Our train goes in—•” He took his watch from his pocket and consulted it. Dave’s eyes were fixed on the girl. He wondered whether, in this testing moment, she would fight for herself or lean weakly on him as her protector. Her answer reassured him. “It makes no difference when it goes, Mr. Conward. I’m not going on it." Her voice trembled nervously, but there was no weakness in it. The money which Dave had given her was still crumpled in her hand. She ad vanced to where Conward stood vague ly trying to sense the situation, and held the bills before him. “Here is your money, Mr. Conward,” she said. “Why, what does this mean?” “Here is your money. Will you lake it, please?” “No, I won’t take it until you ex plain—” She opened her fingers and the bills fell to the floor. “All right,” she said, Conward’s eyes had shifted to Dave "You are at the bottom of this, Elden,” he said. "What does it mean?” “It means, Conward,” Dave an swered, and there was steel in his voice—“It means that after all these years I have discovered what a cur you are—just In time to balk you, at least in this instance.” Conward flushed, but he maintained an attitude of composure. “You’ve been drinking, Dave," he said. “I meant no harm to Miss Wardin.” “Don’t make me call you a liar as well as a cur.” The word cut through Conward’s mask of composure. “Now by God! I won't take that from any man!” he shouted, and with a swing of his arms threw his coat over his shoulders. Dave made no motion, and Conward slowly brought his coat back to posi tion. “I was right," said Dave, calmly. “I knew you wouldn’t fight. You think more of your skin than you do of your honor. Well—it’s better worth protec tion.” “If this girl were not here—” Con ward protested. “I will not fight—” “Oh, I will leave," said Miss Wardin, with alacrity. “And I hope he souks you well,” she shot back, as the door closed behind her. But by this time Conward had as sumed a superior attitude. “Dave," he said, “I won't fight over a quarrel of this kind. But remember, there are some things in which no man allows another to interfere. Least of all such a man as you. There are ways of get ting back, and I’ll get back.” “Why such a man as me? I know I haven’t been much of a moralist in business matters—I’ve been in the wrong company for that—but I draw the line—•” “Oh, you’re fine stuff, all right. What would your friend Miss Hardy think if I told her all I know?" “You know nothing that could affect Miss Hardy’s opinion." “It’s too bad your memory is so poor,” Conward sneered. “Why were your lights off that night I passed your car? Oh, I guess you remember I What will Miss Hardy think of that?” For a moment Dave was unable to follow Conward’s thought. Then his mind reached back to thut night he drove into the country with Bert Mor rison, when on the brow of a hill lie switched off his lights that they might better admire the mnjesty of the heavens. That Conward should place an evil interpretation upon that inci dent was a thing so monstrous, so al together beyond argument, that Dave fell back upon the basic liunmn meth od reserved for such occasions. His fist leaped forward, and Conward crumpled up before it. Conward lay stunned for a few min utes, then, with returning conscious ness, he tried to sit up. Dave helped him to a chair. Blood flowed down his face, and as he began to realize what had occurred it was joined with tears of pain, rage, humiliation. “You got that one on me, Elden,” he said, after a while. “But it was a coward’s blow. You hit me when I wasn’t looking. Very well. Two can play at that game. I’ll hit when you’re not looking . . . where you don’t ex pect it . . .where you can’t hit back. I know the stake you’re playing for, and—I’m going to spoil it.” He turned his swollen, bloody face to Dave’s, and hatred stood up in his eyes as he ut tered the threat. “I’ll hit you, Dave,” he repeated, “where you can’t hit back.” “Thanks for the warning," said El den. “So Irene Hardy is to be the stake. All right, I’ll sit in. And I’ll win.” “You’ll think you’ve won," returned Conward, leeringly, “and then you’ll find out that you didn’t. I’ll present her to you, Dave, like that.” He lifted a burnt match from an ash-tray and held it before him. Dave’s impulse was to seize the thick, flabby throat iu his hands and choke it lifeless. With a resolute ef fort he turned to the telephone and lifted the receiver. “Send a car and a doctor to Conward & Elden’s office,” he said when he had got the desired number. “Mr. Con ward has been hurt—fell against a "Ever Contemplate Marriage?" Said Miss Morrison, With Disconcerting Frankness. desk, or something. Nothing serious, but may need a stitch or two.” Then, turning to Conward: “It will depend on you whether this affair gets to the public—on you and Miss Wardin. Make your own explanations. And as soon as you are able to be about our partnership will be dissolved.” Conward was ready enough to adopt Dave’s suggestion that their quarrel should not come to the notice of the public, and Gladys Wardin, apparent ly, kept her own counsel in the mat ter. In a time when firms were going out of business without even the for mality of an assignment, and others were being absorbed by their competi tors, the dissolution of the Conward & Elden establishment occasioned no more than passing notice. The ex planation, “for business reasons,” given to the newspapers, seemed suffi cient. Irene Hardy found herself in a po sition of increasing delicacy. Since the day of their conversation in the tea room Dave had been constant in his attentions, hut, true to his ultimatum, had uttered no word that could in any way be construed to be more or less than platonic. She had now no doubt that she felt for Dave that attachment without which ceremonies are without avail and with which ceremonies are but ceremonies. And yet she shrank from surrender. . . . And she knew that some day she must surrender. The situation was complicated by conditions which involved her mother and Conward. It was apparent that Conward’s friendship for Mrs. Hardy did not react to Dave’s advantage. Conward was careful to drop no word in Irene’s hearing that could be taken as a direct reflection upon Dave, but she was conscious of an influence, a magnetism, it almost seemed, the whole tendency of which was to pull her away from Elden. Mrs. Hardy had invested practically all her little fortune in her house. The small sum which had been saved from that unfortunate investment had been eaten up in the cost of furnishing and maintaining the home. Doctor Hardy, in addition to his good name, had left his daughter some few thousand dol lars of life insurance, and this was their daily needs. It, too, would soon be exhausted, and Irene was confront ed with the serious business of finding a means of livelihood for herself and her mother. She discussed her problem with Bert Morrison, with whom she had formed a considerable friendship. She won dered whether she might be able to get a position on one of the newspa pers. “Don’t think of it,” said Bert. “If you want to keep a sane, sweet out look on humanity, don’t examine it too closely. That’s what we have to do in the newspaper game, and that’s why we’re all cynics. Keep out of it.” “But I must earn a living,” Irene protested. “Ever contemplate marriage?” said Miss Morrison, with disconcerting frankness. The color rose in Irene’s cheeks, but she knew that her friend was discuss ing a serious matter seriously. “Why, yes,” she admitted, “I have contem plated it; in fact, I am contemplating it. That’s one of the reasons I want to start earning my living. When I marry I want to marry as a matter of choice—not because it’s the only way out.” “Now you’re talking,” said Bert. “And most of us girls who marry as a matter of choice—don’t marry. I’ve only known one man from whom a proposal would set me thinking. And he’ll never propose to me—not now. Not since Miss Hardy came West.” “Oh,” said Irene, slowly, “I’m—I’m so sorry!” “It’s all right,” said Bert, looking out of the window. “Just another oi life’s little bumps. We get used to them—in time. But you want a job. Let me see; you draw, don’t you?” “Just for a pastime, I can’t earn a living that way.” “I’m not so sure. Perhaps not with art in the abstract. You must commer cialize it. If you, on the one hand, can make • a picture of the Rockies, which you can’t sell, and, on the other, can make a picture of a pair of shoes, which you can sell, which, as a woman of good sense, in need of the siraoleons, are you going to do? You’re going to draw the shoes—and the pay-check. Now I think I can get you started that way, on catalogue work and ad cuts. ' Try your pencil on something—any thing at ail—and bring down a few samples.” So Irene's little studio-room began to take on a practical purpose. It was work which called for form and pro portion rather than color, and in these Irene excelled. She soon found her self with as much as she could do, in addition to the duties of the house hold, as maids were luxuries which could no longer be afforded and her mother seemed unable to realize that they were net still living In the afflu ence of Doctor Hardy’s income. To Irene, therefore, fell the work of the house, as well as its support. But her success in earning a living did not seem in the slightest degree to clear the way for marriage. She could not ask Dave to assume the support of her mother; particularly in view of Mrs. Hardy’s behavior toward him, she could not ask that. She sometimes wondered if Conward— For a long while she refused to com plete the thought, but at length, why not? Why shouldn’t Conward marry her mother? And what other purpose could he have in liis continuous visits to their home? Mrs. Hardy, although no longer young, had by no inqans surrendered all the attractions of her sex, and Conward was slipping by the period where a young girl would be his natural mate. If they should marry— Irene was no plotter, but it did seem that such a match would clear the way for all concerned. Shu was surprised, when site turned il over in her mind, to realize that Con ward had won for himself such a place in her regard that she could contem plate such a consummation as very much to be desired. Subconsciously, rather than from specific motive, she assumed a still more friendly attitude toward him. (TO BE CONTINUED.) (Conducted by National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.) SCOUTS EMBODY BEST IDEALS “During my four years in Germany.” says James W. Gerard, former Ameri can ambassador, “1 saw much of the child life of that country. The chil dren were paraded through the streets singing yiefr songs of hate. In the schools they were taught a deliberate perversion of history. For instance: The Fatherland did not wish to injure the Belgians, but the wicked Belgians promised to allow our troops to pass through their country and then at tacked them.” How different are the methods that are used to bring out the best in the childhood of this, our own country! While the Germans had organizations which were intended to develop hatred and like passions in the hearts of the young, we have the Boy Scouts of America. Tills splendid organization well illustrates the difference in ideals between the two countries. In the j Boy Scouts ihe boy subscribes to an i oath to be true to himself and his j country and to keep himself morally | and physically fit at all times, lie also , pledges himself to “do a good turn j daily.” The boy is taught woodcraft and many other useful things. He partici pates In big public functions and civic ceremonials. From the very first lie is led into the higher citizenship. NERVOUS PROSTRATION Mrs. J. Christman Proved That Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a Remedy for this Trouble. Binghamton, N. Y.—“I was in a very nervous condition for over a year, my mind was gloomy, 1 could see no light on anything, could not work and could not have anyone to sea me.

Through the gray of the granite walls that shut away the inmates of the Minnesota state prison from the rest of (lie world came this little story which shows that “stone walls do not n prison make nor iron bars a cage,” In the office of George D. Pratt, treasurer of the National Council, Boy Scouts of America, New York, a letter arrived from Stillwater—a let ter containing $28.50. “in payment of the following applications for associ ate membership in the National Coun cil of the Boy Scouts of America.” Daniel Blue, Frank Meyers, Joseph Kelly, Charles Kramer. J. W. Schwartz, George Olson, Jacob Red Bird, N. A. Burke, August Ruther—all prisoners. Far removed from the blue skies and running streams and long, winding roads that perhaps they themselves had trod in their boyhood, they looked back through the years, at the what- might-have-been, at the different lives they might have led had they been shown differently, and “came across” that other boys might have a fighting chance. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from druggist* tvho are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of tha prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two aizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test, this great preparation send ten cent3 to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.—Adv. SCOUTS URGE AMERICANIZATION.

Meaning of “Selah.” The word Selah, which occurs so frequently in the Psalms, is usually lit?* Iieved to be a direction to the mu sicians who chanted the Psalms iu the temple. Mattheson, the groat musical critic, wrote a book on the subject, in which, after rejecting a number of | theories, he came to the conclusion that it is equivalent to the modern “da capo," and is a direction that the air or song is to be repeated from the com mencement to the part where the word is placed. Bananas. The banana is a perennial herba ceous plant, growing from year to year from an underground root stock with a stem or stalk from 10 to 15 feet high above the ground.
