THE MAQAZNEL PAGE “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.

The question beat itself out with the hammering of the woman’s hurried pulses.

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." Continued Tomorrow.

Don’t stay in the water after you get chilly. It s time to go when "gooseflesh’’ appears. I N my last article on the bathing girl, I think. I got her safely dressed and to the water’s euge. 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.

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.

Children, especially, should be care fully watched and no child should be allowed to stay in the water after its lips or finger nails begin to show signs of cold by getting blue.

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 Aunt Marla. 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 More Blessed to Give.
