* Hunting a Husband ‘ *
MO. 11—REMEMBERING MAYNARD'S CRUELTY TO THE HORSE. THE
WIDOW TREATS HIM COOLLY.
By VIRGINIA T. VAN DE WATER.
THE night after her drive with
Robert Maynard, Beatrice slept
poorly. During the evening she
had been able to put from her thoughts
the finale to the 'events of the after
noon, but when her objective mind sank
to rest with her wearj body the sub
conscious mind began to work, and in
her dream.* she saw the set, white face
of the angry man and heard the hiss of
the .ash as it descended upon the quiv
ering and frightened horse.
She awoke with a gasp, thinking for
a moment that it had been all a dream:
then remembered the disagreeable epi
sode. and fell asleep at last, only to
dream of it again
She arose the following morning
weary and heavy-eyed She was dis
appointed in the man whom she had
begun to regard with more than ordi
nary warmth of feeling His lack of
gelf-contro! was more odious to her be
eauee it reminded her of Toms occa
sional ebullitions of temper under the
influence of liquor, and the remem
brance added to her discomfort Not
twice, she deviated, would a sane wom
an give her happiness into the keeping
of a drinking man
Yet, even while she made this mental
Statement, came creeping into her brain
the question—was Robert Maynard
really what could be called a drinking
man'? He did not look It. for his eyes
and skin were clear, his manner alert
and yet calm, his hand and voice
f.rady. Although she had seen him
drink a glass of wine at Helen Rob
bins' dinner, and a highball at the aft
*er*thcater supper, he had taken no

■at either time. Perhaps, she mused, he
■only drank when with some boon com
panions like Rossiter, but. even so, fl
wife would never know when her hus
*band might meet such a companion,
■and she would always be dreading It
No. a man who could «« far forget
•himself was not the kind of a man for
■her to consider as a possible husband.
He Sends No Word.
Several days passed without any
•word from Maynard had
fancied that perhaps he would send Iler
» note of apology. o: some Howers, or
•some token of his repentance. She
■had even pondered in her mind as to
whether to receive such advances with
cold disapproval or with pitying trir
giveness. She was piqued to find
neither course necessary, and this
smouldering resentment against May
nard added warmth to her welcome to
Henry Blanchard when he cnlled on tire*
•fourth evening after her experience
•With Maynard. "I'ncle Henry" had
sent her no word of his return from
his business trip, and she war secretly
a bit amused to note that he took it for
granted that she would be at home and
disengaged. But he, at all events, she
reflected, was a nice, honest-hearted,
sober man. Her displeasure with the

Too much massaging may aggravate a

hazel This is remarkably effective.

widower made her fee! more kindly, to
ward the old bachelor ano her. "How’
good it is to see you again!" was so
cordial that Blanchard decided that she
was an unusually attractive and de
lightful woman
"I thought you might not mind see
ing me." he admitted with a gratified
smile. "I Just got back from Boston
this afternoon. I ran In to see Helen
right after dinner, but told her I had a
call to make and could not stay. She
asked me where I was calling but I
fSretended not to hear her and to be ab
sorbed in discussing the political situa
tion with her husband. Then I came
away before she had a chance to ask
me again. She's a good girl, hut a bit
inquisitive at times.”
"That's becau.se"Whe's so fond of you.'
said Beatrice. "I'm sure if I had as
nice an uncle as you 1 would like to
know about him and his affairs."
"I always fancy she's just a little
jealous." said Blanchard. "I would not
say so to most people, but I feel that
you're to be trusted—so 1 acknow ledge
that I tnink often that Helen would
rather I didn't go to see any of the la
dies Perhaps"—with a churckle—
"she s afraid I might, even at my age,
get into my head the notion of marry
ing and setting up an establishment of
my own?'
The speech was made apparently in
fun, and Beatrice was annoyed to feel
herself blushing consciously. She spoke
hastily and at random.
"Well, and If you did; I suppose that
Is your own business, isn't it?” she
queried
Again her companion chuckled.
More Embirrmnient.
"That's about the way it looks to
me.’ he agreed. “But I suppose Helen
thinks it would be very foolish for an
old codger like me to marry- -for she
considers me really old."
"But you're not!" declared Beatrice,
eagerly. "You seem to me to be Just in
the prime of life."
To hide her embarrassment “he had
spoken without thought, and her com
panion looked at her happily.
"Then you really think," he said with
a pleased laugh, "that a monos my age
has a right to a»k a young woman to
consider seriously the subject of mar
riage to him?”
But Beatrice was not obliged to reply
to this leading question, for, to her
relief, the telephone bell rang sharply
and she hastened into the hall in obedi
ence to Its summons She was amused
to hear Helen's voice.
"Beatrice, deal." »he said, "1 have not
heard from you for some days and I
am just calling up to know if you are
well and what you are doing with your
self.-’’
Beatrice was aware that her friend's
seeming solicitude was the result of her
suspicions as to where her bachelor
relative was spending his evening, and
het desire to assure herself that he
was not tn the presence of the attrac
tive widow. So Beatrice talked rapidly
and lightly of one matter after another,
cleverly keeping Helen from asking nnv
direct question. It was a nice bit of
: fencing, but the widow did her part so

His hostess had scarcely returned to
■ the drawing room when the telephone
bell sounded again in an insistent and
persistent ring With a laughing apol
ogy and the comment. "I seem to be in
demand this evening, just when I would
like a quiet talk with you." she went
once again into the hall and put the re
ceive: to her ear. She caught her
breath as she heard Maynard's voice.
He had been so busy, he said, that he
had not had time to call her up until
now "Although I have thought of vou
much," he averred. "I wish I might
think that you had missed me a little."
"Really." replied Beatrice, careless
ly. I have not had leisure to think "of
: anybody much of late, for my time has
been so fully occupied."
I An 'awkward silence ensued, then
i Maynard spoke again.
"When are you going to be kind
enough to spare me a little of your pre-

/f’ < ' ST People are planning to enjoy
IVI their vacations just now and
some lucky ones are already
away delighting in new scenes, new
acquaintances and the splendid air of
mountains or the sea.
I hope every one of you is getting
the very utmost out of your vacation.
Hut then the emphasis 1 put on the
word utmost suggests a strain, and
it's just this strain I want you to
avoid. *
A vacation can be as strenuous a s

I'm not willing today for the phleg
matic girl or woman, for the handsome
cabbage rose-type that blooms lazily

earthly thing but dress, eat anti amuse
herself. She needs a strenuous, Roose,

It and that it will wake het up.
The American Girl,
Most of you American girls are of
the nervous, active type and it is for
thi.s kind of girl I'm writing todaj.
A real vacation should restore the
mental and physical equilibrium by
giving the worn-out body or brain a
restful chance to
Many people believe that the great
est rest one can get is in a complete
change of activity, but the energetic
person that girl who never stops in
her game of pleasure or her conscien
tious work .will And a complete rest
is a more thorough-going change than
anything she ever knew before. It's
better for her than exchanging office
work for golf or club committees and
bridge for rowing or gardening.
W hat most Americans have to learn
is how to rest, and the vacation time
is the normal time to learn.
If you are tired out physically this
summer, don't go where you will have
to accustom your over-fatigued diges
tive organ- to a complete change of
food. Remember to eat the simplest
things and not too much of them
Don't try combinations like buttermilk
and watermelon just because those
two excellent things are to be had
in profusion at the farm, or unlimited
seafood because you can catch your
I ow n tish.
Live Simply.

your vacation time for yourself and
waste It on yourself.
"Oh, but how selfish that is?" Did
you say so? Well, I disagree with you.
It isn't selfish to take a needed rest
Many a mother, yvorn out. with the con
stant care of the family, would he bet
ter for a little of this selfishness in
taking the rest and recreation which
she needs, instead of taking upon her
self extra burdens during the summer,
so that younger anti stronger members
of her family may enjoy an outing.
Many a pretty girl breaks dawn after
her holiday from the nervous strain of
trying to keep up with the procession
of young people who think that vaca
tion time was invented to keep every
body on the constant jump.
Do Nothing at All.
If you belong to the active type of
woman, learn to do nothing during this
summer's holiday. For a part of th'-
day. at least, practice complete relaxa
tion of mind and body.
You can do this if your vacation is
spent at home, and I believe every
woman ought to do so as much for her

Doubted! Looking at her now, the
idea was preposterous. This girl, fragile
and delicate add innocent as a flower,
capable, capable of murder! Yet Juries
in England are not • impressed by such
things.
"But who else can have done it?" Al
most as though she knew his thoughts.
Betty turned and put the question. A
change had come over her manner since
that startled admission had been wrung
from her. and she spoke and held herself
with a quiet dignity that, had something
inexpressibly touching in its calm "You
know what you saw. There were only
you and I In that room. Jack. Oh, the
hideousness of it—to waken, as It were,
from sleep and know that one is stained!
I can't realize it. Surely in the sight of
heaven I am not guilty, for it was not my
fault —say it was not my fault!"
Her broken cry. like the cry of a child
aghast at the first revelation of pain,
struck at Rimington's heart like a blow.
“Your fault! And if it were a hun
dred times your fault, what would it mat
ter?” he cried out with sudden passion.
"I love you—l love you!"
His arms were about her, and for a
momertt she almost yielded, *almost suf
fered herself to be drawn once more into
the shelter of their embrace. But she did
not yield. She drew away from him with
a cry.
Dreadful Thoughts.
"What are you saying? Whaf have you
done? You have almost made me forget
what I am—that I have a man's blood on
my hands."
"But that is what you must do,” he
whispered. “Forget this madness. This
is not the way out —no one must ever
hear so much as a whisper of your pres
ence in Tempest street that night."
As before he had striven by every sug
gestion he knew to draw this girl back to
a memory of that night s happenings, so
now, by every art that love could teach
-him, Rimington strove to reassure the
girl. What was the safety of the man in
prison, he asked himself, of this self-con
fessed thief. Levasseur, compared with
Betty—her life, her happiness, her repu
tation! In a horrible lightning vision he
saw Betty dragged at the wheals of pub
licity—the central figure in a cause
eelebre; saw the court with its eager,
ghoulish, spectators —the awful notoriety
of the Illustrated press.
“Can't you trust me. Betty? I, who saw
you—l, who know" —
All the ojd arguments he had used to
himself to prove her innocence over and
over again, convincing himself afresh,
leaving her cold.
Then, all at once, as though indeed she
hardly heard him. Betty rose.
"Jack, dear; it's no good—no earthly
good," she said. "It’s dreadfully late; I
must be getting in. And now I have
Edith to sac who must won
der”— . Her voice shook a little: the
thought of Edith was pain added to pain.
"Don’t you see, dear—this man of whom
you have told me—are we to allow him to
die? That would be certainly murder—
dastardly, cowardly murder. Whatever
happens, I must speak the truth, and
leave the rest to God. I must tell the
police all I know" —
A Question.
"And ruin me irretrievably?" Riming
ton burst out, goaded to nervous irrita
bility by the strange finality of her man
ner. Then, more in response to her sud
den startled look than to a spoken ques
tion. he added, "Have you forgot'en what
you said —'there were only you and I in
that room?’ Has It never occurred to
you. Betty, to ask why 1 was in Tempest
street that night?”
His words ceased abruptly in obedience
to a sudden checking gesture of her hand.
Something had stirred in the trees behind
them; something or some one who trod
warily and cautiously on the rough path
way that threader! ihrough the wood.
"Jack” —Betty's lips were white and
trembling—"if any one heard” — She
paused and listened; the sound came to
them again more faintly; the eavesdrop
per. if it were an eavesdropper, was re
treating.
Rimington took a quick step forward.
There was an abrupt break in the trees
a few paces from where he stood; the
moonlight filled it with a clear silver light
that revealed objects with the clearness
of noonday He could see the path, lead
Ing to the Croft, lying like a silver rib

beautiful, Anthony Barrington’s presence
irritated his wife. His restlessness and
cheerfVil chatter jarred on her nerves with
positive pain. It was no feigned head
ache that kept her prostrate on the couch
in the sitting room whose windows opened
on to the wilderness corner of the Croft
garden. She stirred uneasily among he®
cushions.
“Tony—don't stay in this prison of a
room. Draw the blind and leave me to
myself. I'll be all right in an hour.”
"My dear, I prefer to stay with you.
and if I draw the blind further the room
will be in total darkness. It’s .half dark
already.”
"My head aches.”
"I’m so sorry.” ,He drew the blind fur
ther and came across the room to her
through the semi-darkness. "Let me
bathe the poor head,” he said, penitently,
and ran cool, flrm fingers up and down
her hot hand. "What's the matter,
Edith? I can't bear you to be ill. Head
aches or heartaches —those are posses
sions I emphatically forbid.”
"It's not a matter of choice.” she as
sured him. with muffled irritation.
Barrington sat down in the deep chair
by the couch and rested his head on his
hand. What was the matter with Edith?
The question that had never been ab
sent from his mind sinep the afternoon
when, so causelessly, as it seemed, she
had lied to him about the solicitor’s card,
hammered upon his brain more Insistent
ly than ever this morning. What was the
matter with the whole household? It
seemed to him that the atmosphere of
tragedy hanging over the Croft had been
deepened, not lightened, by Betty's recov
ery from her loss of memory, a recovery
as abrupt and as mysterious as her seiz
ure had been. He had seen the girl and
talked with her, and she appeared to him
as different from the gay. delicious bit
of girlhood of a month back as ever the
stricken girl without a memory had been.
About Betty.
Almost without knowing he had spoken,
he put his thought into words.
"What on earth is the matter with
Betty?" he said.
Edith sat up suddenly.
“With Betty! What on earth do you
mean’’" Even a less suspicious man than
Barrington could hardly have been deaf
to the startled note that beat in Edith's
voice as she put her counter-question.
"Well, dear, the girl has been ill, hasn’t
she? I hadn't the least Intention of pry
ing. but now- that the subject _has been
mentioned—has she confided in you?—it
is perfectly obvious that she has some
thing on her mind.”
