“The Gates of Silence”
A STORY OF LOVE, MYSTERY AND HATE, WITH A THRILLING OOR
TRAYAI OF 1 IFF REHIND PRISON BARS.
TODAY S IN ST A LLME NT.
Betty's lover! .lack Rimington—Betty
herself —weighed very lightly in the scales
against Tony—Tony and little Phil—her
husband and child. It wasn't treachery—
ii wasn't —ft wasn't! It was sheerest ne
cessity of self-preservation t.demand
ed her action —and not self preservation
alone—the preservation of Tony's happi
ness—Tony and little Phil.
Husband and child! ♦
With that rallying cry she had crushed
down all remorse, all sense of protesting
honor, and had sat down and written her
anonymous letter to the police, slipping
out long, long after midnight through the
sleeping house to post It In the pillar-box
outside the lodge gates.
Little wonder that she dreaded to meet
* Betty's eyes.
Lying there in the loneliness of the
darkened room, Edith Barrington burst
into tears - tears that drenched her cheeks
and hands with a hot rain, but brought
no relief. The bubble of her sophistry
had burst suddenly. To what had she
come? For weeks she had been living
in an inner world of bitterness, and to
that bitterness was added the sting of re
morse. Until last night she bad at least
been innocent, but now—
The sudden opening of the door broke
in on her thoughts. She turned hastily
on the couch, burying her tear-stained
face deeper in the shelter of the cushions.
A Startling Call.
■""Mrs. Barrington? Are you here,
min?'’
It was the soft voice of Belly's maid.
"Yes." Edith Barrington's first im
pulse had been to feign sleep, but some
tastinct prompted her lo speak "I am
nere. Jane. Do you want me?"
"Yes. m'm. You're wanted on the tele
phone. Name of Bradford."
Bradford! Mrs. Barrington started
from the couch. "I'm coming Did you
answer the call. Jane?"
"No. m'm. Hodson."
Edith could hear the sound of voices,
*rom the dining room as she slipped
through the ball. Thank goodness there
was no fear of interruption; for the next
twenty minutes the family were safe at
the luncheon table.
She went Into the steward's room, where
the telephone was, and drew the door be
hind her; the latch was defective, and
the title noise it made as she. tried to
close it drowned the sound of the open
ing of another door at the other side of
he ball. Her hand shook as she took
up the receiver, and her voice was un
steady as she made her call She dreaded
the smooth-tongued, shifty-looklng solici
tor more titan she dreaded the man in
prison. She had not forgotten a look she
had surprised In his eyes the day he bad
net her at the police court when site
visited Levasseur. Levasseur she knew,
or thought she did his worst and his bet
ter side. But this man was an enigma
she dreaded thk potential blackmailer in
him. She had never been able to rid her
self of a belief that he knew something
of that mysterious hush-money that lay
still locked away in her jewel case up
stairs gloated over it. hungered for ft.
Amazing News.
"Halloa' Is that Mrs. Barrington?”
Even yve,r-Ilie Av Ires the sniopHi voice
was unmisfejta blc. "Bradford speakmg-
James Bradford."
"I alii Mrs. Barrington.
"Ab! With reference to our client. Mrs.
Harrington. Have you heard are you
’ware of what has occurred?"
, “No. To what do you allude?"
“Well” —the far-off. tinkling voice hesi
tated —"Mr. Levasseur, it appears, has
made his escape from prison.”
"Escaped!" The receiver almost dropped
'rom Edith Barrington's hand. A vision
ame to her of Levasseur, like a wild
seast in ambush, waiting to spring.
“Yes. We thought it possible he might
lave communicated with you?" The
statement was a question.
"Why should be communicate with me?
I krfow nothing of his escape; nothing
do you understand?— nothing. "
"Ah, thanks! lam sorry to have trou
bled you In the matter, then. Good-by "
They had rung off tn Lincoln's Inn
Fields, but for a second or two Edith
Barrington stood with the receiver in het
hand a woman incapable of movement.
Then, when presently, with slow, me
chanical actions like those of an automa
tion, she did hang trp the receiver ami
turn, she recoiled with a guilty start
"Tony!”
Barrington,, wlm was .standing in Hie
doorway, came forward. < >nee again, as
<he looked at his smiling face. Edith had
hat disturbing impression as of a man
whose smiles were worn now as a mask.
"I’ve been looking for you all over the

into space."

\\ hat had he heard? How much had he
heard? The question beat itself out with
the hammering of the woman’s hurried
pulses.
It was not possible (o know how long
he had stood there; but an instinct not
to be denied told her that he had been
there from the beginning. And w-hat did
he drink? Why had he not, as he usual
ly did, down to the most minute trifles,
questioned her as to the nature of the call
that had brought her from the couch Io
answer the telephone?
His silence oppressed her. terrified her.
as no questioning could have done.
Fate’s Pawn.
Jack Rimington's breath came quickly
as he sank Into the corner of the empty
carriage into which he had swung him
self just as the train began to move out
of the station. It had been a sharp run to
catch tills, the! first non-stop train of the
morning service from iWeybourne to Pad
dington. and at the end lie had all but
missed it. owing to the idiotic blundering
of the police at the outside gate.
"I'll have a word to say to that fel
low when I get hack." Rimington said to
himself, grimly Then his face changed.
When he got back! There was something
too problematical in that thought to be
satisfying or pleasant.
The morning was gray and cold —one
of those grim mornings that fall some
times by accident into a week of perfect
weather In its light Rimington's face
looked gray, too- -amazingly aged, like the
face of a man who has slept little and
dreamed 111 dreams.
As a matter of fact, Rimington. after
his parting with Betty, bad not even gone
through the farce of going to bed; he had
slipped up through the darkness when he
got back to the Red House, thankful to
escape any curious eyes or questioning
tongues, to the long room under the roof
that had been his ever since he could
remember the Red House at all. and
paced the hours of the night out striving
to, find some dew to the labyrinth in
which he and Betty found themselves.
That the girl was entirely Innocent of
any knowledge whatever of how Fltz
stephen died he was more than ever con
vinced, and yet he knew that it was a
conviction based 05 no legal ground.
If Mrs. Barrington had been a more
Accomplished eavesdroper, and had re
sisted that impulse of an imperfectly sti
fled conscience which had prompted her
to flight after those first impassioned
words of Rimington's which she had
caught, she would have heard what would
have given the answer to many of the
weary questions that had all night long
knocked at the door of her heart.
Betty had met the challenging question
her lover flung at her with a great sur
prise.
"No. Jack. You see. it’s, all so amaz
ing. But, of course, it is strange. Why
were you there?"
And hefhro the innocence of her eyes
Rimington had felt his courage break.
It wasn't possible to tell her what, when
lie put the question, his impulse had been
to tell her that be had been there in
Tempest street to work 'vengeance on the
man who ruined his brother, and that, if
site persisted in "her threat of speaking of
her presence there, he would forestall her
by a .confession, as to his own. Instead,
he had flashed out the truth:
"I was there —for the same reason as
you, Betty, darling. I went to Tempest
street to see Paul Saxe." And before she
could speak he had blurted out. quickly:
"Betty, listen! 1 want to Know nothing
you do not care to teH me—l shall never
want io know that; only it would be dis
honest for me to pretend that I did not
know so much, for Saxe told me so him
self"— , ... ... . .- ' • »
He had watched Betty's face flush and
pale while he told her exactly the story
while he told her exactly the story Saxe
had told him, and asked her directly how
true or bow false the man's account of
the matter was.
Betty Furious.
"He told you that?"
Watci■ r r her closely, Rimington could
see that lie girl was furiously angry at
Hie breach of confidence, and a spirit of
esprit de corps had urged him to the de
fense of Saxe.
"It wasn't an ordinary breach of con
fidence, Betty. It was because your safe
ty was at stake that lie spoke. And lie's
explained things -he seems your friend,
Betty. But tell me, dear, can you remem
ber. was it before or after you saw Saxe
that you encountered Fltzstephen?"
"I never saw him"- she blurted out,
and Rimington knew it was Fitzstephen
that she meant, because she stopped
short, in sore distress at this admission.
"Oh. Jack,'don't question ine-don’t—
don't! Perhaps the memory of it all will
come back in the night, but just now ft's
all vague, like the detached fragments of
an almost forgotten dream."

Always wet the head'. This keeps the body at an e<|uiil temperiltlire.
If you know how to swim, practice relaxing, ami you will not tire

I think. I got her safely dressed

Today she takes her first dip. •
I hope she won't scream and shriek
or act coy and silly when her toe
touches the water. Not that I'm a
strong-armed advocate of woman’s
rights and expect masculine fortitude
of the girl who takes her first swim

droppin' into politics, not poetry, when
I should be swimming with you bath
ing girls.
I begged you not to scream, didn't I?
To me there is nothing quite so mad
dening as a lot of howling people in,
the water. Everyone Us bound to
shout from sheer joy of water and
sunlight and the sparkle of dancing
waves but please shout musically If
you can. At some beaches nature, seems
absolutely desecrated by the yelling
mob around.
While I'm scolding I might as well
add that a bathing beach should be
treated with as much respect as a
park, and newspapers, tin cans and
debris from picnics ought to be burned
up or gathered together neatly for re
moval by the caretakers, or thrown out
to sea.
Now I’ve said all the disagreeable
things and with an easy mind I re
turn to the bathers.
At your /American beaches, especially
on the Atlantic where the waves are
high, the rope cjfnger Is especially
popular.
I don't believe irt bobbing up and
down while hanging to a rope, be
cause it is often dangerous, the .women
especially standing just in the trough
of the sea where the waves are strong,
est and where the undertow is most
severe. *
Added to this a kind of hysteria com-''
bined with laughter and fright which
weakens the holder’s grip on the tope
and you have the material for many
bathing accidents and fatalities.
Learn to Swim.
Learn to swim, that is my advice.
Then if you want the fun of bobbing
with the waves, hang on to the rope a
little further out, beyond the spot
where they break. If you are torn
from your rope anchorage you will
ways have presence of mind enough to
swim through the waves as they break
over your head.
I advise every woman who learns to
swim to begin very early to dive
through the waves. This gives her
confidence in her own powers, and she
will need this experience because it is
always better and less dangerous to
dive through a wave than to let it
break over one.
Begin with small waves to accustom
yourself to putting your head under
water. Some women, otherwise excel
lent swimmers, never get used to this
and wll never of their own accord get
their heads wet. It is much better
for the general health to wet the head
<tiy dipping It under water, as this
keeps the body at an equal tempera
ture. Os course, when the sun is hot
you will burn and tan unless you pro
tect yourself with a thick coating of
fa< e cream. Personally, I like to so
a face tanned by the sun, with the
glow of Ijealbh in eyes and cheeks, but
then I don't freckle: otherwise I should
feci differently.
Why You Get Tired.
If you tire very easilj when swim
ming it is probably because you don't
i relax and because you keep your spine

absolutelj- stiff. Relax, relax; that’s
thy. only, way you will ever boa good

up: you don't need to worry or to
stiffen up trying to stay on top The
more you relax, putting all your
strength into your leg and arm move
strong, exercise them on Jiind, patiently

allowed to stay in the water after its

Lysander John Appleton to her
pieton. who is visiting her from a little
country t,own. "is that you need broad

“You have lived in a little town so
Idng that your views of life have be
come of its proportion. You need a
wider, larger horizon. You must see
More People! You must learn tn know
The World!"
Broadening out is a painful process
to those past 50, but Aunt Maria is
docile, and made no complaint when,
next day, her sister-in-law helped to
squeeze her into a corset too tight, and
shoes and gloves too small, and a skirt
too narrow.
"It seems,” said Aunt Maria to her
self. "that to broaden menially it is
necessary to grow narrow physically.”
Then she was escorted to a reception,
and received her first lesson in broad-,
enlng out.
One woman said to her: "Well, you
ARE a stranger."
Another woman said to her: “Have
you been to the dining room for re
freshments?”
A third woman said to her: "Mercy!
I wonder how long Mrs. Wintergreen
intends to wear that blue Mik!"
A fourth woman said she had heard
children could have the mumps as oft
en as four times, and then Aunt Maria
had a dab of pink'ice cream, a slice of
pale green cake, a. cup of coffee, and
went home.
There wasn't any doubt that the
broadening out process gave her food
for reflection, for that night she lay
awake many hours thinking of what
she had seen and heard. There may
be scoffers who would suggest that this
insomnia was due to the coffee, but not

Getting Out of Her Rut.
She knew that she was getting out of
her narrow little rut, and that was
enough to keep any one awake.
The next day she Broadened Out
some more by going to a lecture on Art,
which she could not hear because of the
gabble of the women around her, all of
whom had come to also Broaden Out.
But she looked at the millinery In
front of her, learned new ways for
trimming hats, and realized that it had
become optional with a woman to wear
little hair or much.
She was escorted to a dinner next
day, and her escort to the table told
jokes she remembered reading in an al
manac when she sat on her father's
knee, and also told just how sooji he
