BEGIN HERE TODAY.
A series of significant differences
r trivial events has convinced
>i \KK SABRE, a well-educated En
-lishman, that after eight years
( if married life he is almost com
pletely estranged from his pro
nic and snobbish wife,
MABEL. He seeks refuge in the
; otnpany of his eccentric neigh
bors, Mr. Fargus anl “The
Perches” —
YOUNG PERCH and his invalid
mother.
Suddenly an old friend returns
to his life. The friend is
.\o\A, an old sweetheart, now the
wife of the dashing
LOKI) TYBAR.
Sabre’s inability to find sympathy
at home is duplicated in the office
~f Fortune, East and Sabre, where
If has charge of the publishing de
partment. He dreams of writing a
history of England and has been
promised full partnership in the
firm. Suddenly his hipes are blast
ed when
TWYNING, a jealous colleague,
announces that he has been prom
i< d the partnership by Fortune,
chief shareholder.
(,O ON WITH THE STORY.
Sabre, uttered a single word
Good.”
Twyning’s face darkened again
ami darkened worse. He spoke also
but a single word, “Thanks!” He
turned sharply on hsi heel and went
to the door.
“I say, Twyning!” Sabre jumped
to his feet and went to Twyning
with outstretched hand. “I didn’t
mean to take it like that. Don’t think
I'm not —I congratulate you. Jully
good. Splendid. I ell you what—-I
don't, mind telling yoyu—it was a nit
of a smack in the eye for me for a
moment. You know, I’ve rather
sweated over this bfisineqsJ’—his
glance indicated the stacked book
shelves, the firms' publications, his
publications . . . “See what I mean?”
A certain movement in his throat
,'111(1 about his mouth indicated, more
than his words, what he meant. A
slight.
Twyning took the hand and gripped
it with a firmness characteristic of
his handshake.
“Thanks, old man. Thanks awful-
Os course I know what you
flhan.”
the door he clenched nis
hand'?. He thought, “Smack in the
eye for you, was it? You’ll get a
damn sight worse smack in the eye
one of these days. Dirty dog!”
11.
Immediately the door was closed
Sabre went what he would have
called “plug in” to Mr. Fortune; that
i- to say, without hesitation and
without reflection.
“I’ve just-Jheard that you’ve told
Twyning you’re going to take him
into partnership.”
The whale-like front gave a sud
den leap anl quiver precisely as if 't
had been struck by ya cricket ball.
Mr. Fortune’s voice hardened very
remarkably. “As to that, I will per
mit myself two remarks. In the first
place, I consider it highly repre
hensible of Twyning to have com
municated this to you—”
Sabre broke in. “Well, he didn’t.
1 inferred it. It seems 1 inferred
correctly.”
There flashed through Mr. For-

tune’s mind a pcT'gnant regret that,
this being the case, he had not de
nied it. He said, “I am exceedingly
glad to hear it.”
Sabre, despite his private feelings I
in the matter, characteristically fol- I
lowed this reasoning cimpletely, and*
said so. “Yes, that’s yyur way of
looking at is, sir, and I don’t say it
isn’t perfectly sound—from your
point of view—”
Mr. Fortune inclined his head
solemnly: “I am’obliged to you.”
“ —Onl other people look at things
on the face of them, just as they
appear. You know—it’s difficult to
express it—l’ve put my heart into :
those books. I can’t quite explain it
but I felt that the slight, or what
looks like a slight, is on them, not on
me.” He put his hand to the back |
of his head, a habit characteristic I
when he was embarrassed or per- ;
plexed. “I’m afraid I can’t quite ex-,
press it, but it s the books.”
“No, I confess that is a little be
yond me,” said Mr. Fortune, smooth
ing his front; and they remained:
looking at one another.
A sudden and unearthly moan
sounds through the loom, Mr. For
tune spun himself with relief to
his desk and applied his lips to a
flexible speaking tube.
Sabre roused himself and stood up,
abruptly. “Ah, well! All right, sir!” i
111.
Arrived again in his loom, Sabre'
dropped into his chair. In his eyes
was the look that had been in them
when he iiad tiled to explain to Mr.
Fortune a’> >u. the books, what Mr.
F'.rtune had cinfessed he found a
li'tle beyond nin. He thought: “The
books . . Os course I ortune hadn’t
imagined them . . . seen them grow!
. . . But it hurts. Like hell - it |
hurts . . . And I can’t explain to'
him how I feel about them ... 1
can't explain to any one.”
His thoughts moved on: “I’ve been
twelve years with him. Twelve years ■
we’ve been daily t igel’. er, and when I
I said that about the books I sat:
there and he sat tnere—an l just
looked. Stared ;.t eoch of »r like |
masks. Mn.sk s! 1 sit behind my |
mask and he sits behind his and•
that’s all we see. Twelve mortal
years! And there’re thousands of
people in thou-ands of offices . . .
thousands of homes . . . just the
same. All behind masks. Mysterious
business. Extraordinary.”
He thought : All looking Tor some
thing . . . You can see it in half
the faces you see. Looking for what?
Love? But lot.; have love. Happ
nes ? But aren’t lots happy? But
are they?”
He knitted his brows: “It goes
deeper than that. It’s some uni
versal thing that’s wanting. Is it
something that religion ought to
give, but doesn’t Light? Some new
light to give every one certainty in
religion, in belief. Light?”
His thoughts went to Mabel.
Upon a sudden impulse he looked
at his watch. Only just after twelve.
He could get back in time for lunch.
Lonely for her, day after day, and
left as h ■ had left her that morning.
They could have a jolly as 1-rnoon
together, He could make it a jolly
afternoon. Nona kept coming into
his thoughts—and more so after this
Twnying business. He would have
Mabel in his thoughts.
lie went in and told Mr. Fortune
he rather thought of taking the
afternoon off if he was not wanted.
He mounted his bicycle 1 and rode
purposefully back to Mabel.
CHAPTER HI
I
“Anything for me, Pirrip?” Sabre
asked the postman as he arrived at
Penny Greens.
“One, Mr. Sabre.”
Sabre took.the letter and gfanced
at the handwriting.
It was from Nona.
Her small, neat, masculine script
had once been as familiar to him as
his own. It was curiously like his
own. She had the same trick of
not linking all the letters in a word.
He glanced at it, regarded it for—

slightly longer than a glance, and
wit ha little pucker of brows and
lips, then made the action of putting
it, unopened, in his pocket. Then he
rested the bicycle against his hip
and opened her letter.
“Northrepps. Tuesday.” She
never Mated her letters. He used to
be always telling her about that.
Tuesday was yesterday.
Dear Marko —We’re back. We’ve
been from China to Peru—almost.
Come up one day and be bored about
it. How are you? Nona.
He thought: “Funny she didn’t
mention she’d written just now. Per
haps! she thought it was funny I
didn’t say I’d had it I must tell
her.”
He returned her lettep to its envel
ope and put the envelope in his
pocket. Then he wheeled his bicycle
into his gate. He smiled. “Mabel
will be surprised at me back like
this.”
Mabel was descending the stairs as
he entered the hall. In the white
dress she wore she made a pleasant
picture against the broad, shallow
stairway and the dark paneling. But
she did not appear particularly
pleased to see him. But he thought,
“Why should she be? That’s just it.
That’s why I’ve come back.”
“Hullo?” she greeted him. “Have
you forgotten something?”
He smiled invitingly. “No, I’ve
just come back. I suddenly thought
we’d have a holiday.*’
She showed puzzlement. “,A holi-

day? What, the office? All of you?”
She had paused three steps from
the foot of the staips, her right hand
on the banisters.
His wife! . . .
He slid his, hpnd up the rail and
rested it on hers. “Good Lord, no
Nut the office. No. I suddenly
thought we’d have a holiday. You
and I.”
He half hoped she would respond
to the touch of his hand by turning
the palm of her own to it. But hi
thought,, “Why should she?” ano
she did not. She said, “But how ex
traordinary! Whatever for?”
She had descended and he moved
along the hall with her towards the
morning room.
“It’s rather extraordinary,” shi
said.
She certainly was not enthusiastic
over it. She asked, "Well, what arc
you going to do?”
He wished he had thought of some
plan as he came along. “What time’s
lunch? Come on, we’ll cut the
flowers.”
II
She cut the first rose and held it
to her lips, smelling it. “Lovely.
Who was your letter from, Mark?'
He thought, “How on earth did she
know?” He had forgotten it him
self. “How ever ilid you know?
From Lady Tybar. They're back.”
“1 saw you from the window with
the postman. Lady Tybar! What
ever was she writing to you about?”
He somehow did not like this.
Why “whatever?” *And being
watched was rather beastly; he re
membered he had fiddled about with
the letter—half put it in his pocket
and then taken it out again. And
why not? What did it matter? Mabel
did not particularly like Nona. He
said, “Just to say'thby're back. She
wants us to go up there.”

SWAT THE FLY.
It’s time for spring house-cleaning
(Cold lunch for hungry males)
And the hanging of the porch shades
On the same old rusty nails.
T.e blankets are now laundered
And laid in the cedar chest,
Ind the flannels are now folded
Into camphorated rest.
The rusty swing is now in place
And the red bug lies in wait
'or the lovers who at picnics
Will enjoy a tete-tete.
The coal bill is receipted,
The ice bill’s looming high,
The mosquito’s bill is yet to come,
But we all can swat the fly!

SOURS! FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid
is Cause of Indigestion.
• •' 11 '■
* A' well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are near
ly always due to acidity—acid stomach
t—and not, as most folks believe, from
a lack of digestive juices. He states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in a can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which inflate the
stomach like a toy balloon. We then
get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the
chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas,
or have heartburn, flatulence, water
brash, or nausea. i
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
fohr ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast while it is effervescing, and
furthermore, to continue this for one
week. While relief follows the first
dose, it is important to neutralize the
acidity, remove the gas-making mass,
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote a free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.
I GIRLS! LEMONS |
BLEACH FRECKLES
AND WHITEN SKIN j
Squeeze the juice of two lemons into a
bottle containing three ounces of Orchard
White, which any drug store will supply
for a few cents, shake well, and you have
a quarter pint of the best freckle and
tan bleach, and complexion whitener.
Massage this sweetly fragrant lemon
lotion into the face, neck, arms and
hands each day and see how freckles and
blemishes bleach out and how clear, soft
and rosy-white the sktu becomes.
