It almost seemed as though the sigh of the fire the glow of warmth that wrapped about him in the air of the com fortabie kitchen had banished for th< instant all other thoughts from his mind He hardly seemed aware of the girl a u she moved swiftly about the kitchen.

As for her. it was plain tha* she kept her eyes averted from the figure of shame at the Are As she went about her task her lips were forming words "It isn’t possible it isn’t possible”’ The tears ran down her cheeks and she was not aware of them "Betty!” She turned to see the man beside her looking at her with those eyes bo familiar and yet so strange eyes that held an odd. half-furtive, half ashameo look—a look that seemed to pierce through the stupor that for the last few seconds had held her, for. with a broken cry, she put out her hands. "Oh, my dear, my dear! Oh. my bitter ly wronged Jack! I never knew or guessed what the truth was” with a self-con temptuous gesture that comprehended all of the cozy kitchen, with the glory of flrp light playing on copper and crockery, the coarse, white-covered table, and the rough, plentiful food "And J came here with*your aunt —to live your life. Jack, to walk step by step with you in your agony. Oh, the irony of it!” Rimington made a movement as though to take her in hi?» arms, then shrinking!) drew back. It was a movement that spoke more eloquent h’ than words, and the girl answered it by another In a moment she was against his breast, her face upturned to his, her lips seeking his The Are-glow on her face show’ed the man the love-light In her eyes that he had often dreamed of, and never, even in dreams, had hoped to see. Then, ah quickly, she drew away from him. "Selfish woman that I am to satisfy my own hunger first when you are starv ing!” She drew him to the big. old-fashioned settee beside the fire, waiting on him as she would have waited upon a child, cut ting up food, choosing dainty portions, mindful of the danger of the long, cruel fast hat he was breaking, talking to him all the while In a low voice as she might have spoken to a child, wrapping him about with the glow of her love, so that to this man. who for months past had not heard the sound of a woman's voice, this low-ceilinged kitchen was trans formed into the threshold of paradise He refused to drink, though slw urged him to thke a little spirits and water for its medicinal sake "No; J shall need all the few wits that are left me, darling. ' he told her. *‘For lam only the veriest bird of passage here Has the cottage been searched yet ."’ "No.” The girl looked at him with troubled eyes "I don't understand We had not even heard that you had es caped ” Her frightened senses leaped to the thought of a trap, and she. read a con firmation of her fears In the man's ryes "That means they’ve been waiting for me to make for the cottage.” Rimington said, In his roughened voice, that seemed to harp grown rusty through long dis service. ”1 mustn't stay a minute. No, no, darling -for your own sake, as well as mine Wherever I am taken and It seems inevitable that 1 will be taken It must not be here Where is my aunt?" "She Is In her room, Jack," Betty said “No, If you must go, best not wake her She is a little strange a little worried She ought never to have come But about your clothes. Jack If I had only thought of It, If I had only guessed, we ought to have had a change for you here ' "But how could, you guess'.’" For a moment he took her in his arms, laid his face against her cheek. Then, with a little cry, she started apart from him "What's that?” she said, in a sharp whisper, Rimington stood rigid, listening To him the silence seemed unbroken save for the loud ticking of a white-faced clock on the mantelpiece; it brought back to him ugly memories of another mo ment of tension when he had stood wait ing while about him the air vibrated with the voices of many clocks, and once again he had a feeling of silence itself ts a tangible thing that, like himself, watched and waited The girl tip-toed to the door and bent her ‘head against it.

Then Mrs. Rimington withdrew her gave to the fire The wind was rising or was it the wind? It seemed to the waiting girl that the air was full of whispering voices. Outside a tendril of the creeper, loosened by the wind, tapped at the pane; the in termittent noise came sullenly to them through the Intervening shutter. "Betty!” The door of the Inner room had opened, and Rimington came out. The women, turning, saw that he was still In his convict garb.

To Be Continued in Next Issue. By Margaret Hubbard Ayer. I EVERY woman gets worried when the first wrinkle makes Its ap- | pearanee. She may ho quite he roic about it. am! say that she likes linos In the face because they give so much character to the appearance, and all that. Hut you and I know that she has had an awful light with herself be- I fore she comes out with that beautiful I fairj tale about character. It's the same fight that will bo repeated again | w hen a little tuft of gray hairs can no I longer be covered up from view. There are all kinds of wrinkles, some i of them really do denote character, and they often appear on the face of the girl of twenty Just between her brows as a sign of thoughtful concentration. That kind < f a girl never knows site has them for years to come, for she is not the kind of girl who looks very closely at the mirror. Every wrinkle In the face is formed from muscular contraction and is an indication of temperament and the habitual expression of the individual. Every wrinkle tells its special story and there are many of them that apeak of fine and beautiful attributes. Tlie girl with the horizontal lines across her forehead tries hard to do right and is over-conscientious. Short lines at the corners of the mouth run ning upward appear in the face of the woman who has borne her sorrows cheerfully and who has been helped by faith and a resigned spirit. Lines around the eyes, when they point upward, tell the story of a mirth ful, happy disposition, just as those that droop the other way toll of concen trated effort when accompanied by deep lines In the brow. You can easily tell the woman who loves to gossip by the drooping lines of the mouth, and if she is a great talker there will be lines near tile lower cheek which run down under the chin. A forehead that Is criss-crossed by many little lines in the pniddle of the brow shows that small frets and wor ries take up much of Hint person's time. What No Woman Likes. No matter what the lines indicate, no woman likes to see a wrinkle in her face, and I have heard tell that men are not exactly crazy about them, either. Probably you have noticed that the i average man's face doesn't wrinkle as quickly as a woman's does; that is be cause the man who shaves gives hia face a daily sort of massage treatment, which stimulates the circulation and keeps wrinkles away, while the woman does nothing but bathe her face in a half-hearted way. or treat it with cream when she happens to think about it. I'rlction will keep the face free of wrinkles better than anything else, and will eradicate the first hairline wrin kles when they come. Tlie woman who knows site has a tendency to frown all the time may possibly need eyeglasses, for eye strain of any kind is bound to create wrin kles around the eyes. If the eyes are not strained, she should make a deter mined effort to break her habit of frowning, ami site will aid In the work by wearing a little piece of court plas ter over her brow whenever she can conveniently do so. Get the stiff kind of court plaster. © Beyond All Explaining © By Beatrice Fairfax "A woman's heart is a very queer thing on the whole. It falls in love in the most unaccountable way with the most unaccountable man.”—J. G. Holland. lAi'K writes the following letter: "1 am eighteen and am keeping company with a girl the same age. 1 don't care much about her. but she loves me. 1 am keeping company with other girls, but as she cares so much for me 1 feel sorry for her and don't know what to do." Her heart seems to have fallen in love in the most unaccountable way with the most unaccountable man. If she were asked to give an explanation of that love she couldn't give it. He say s he doesn't care much for her. In the same breath he says he is keep ing company with her. The element of gratitude enters into the love of women in a greater degree than any woman will admit. In her deep humility she is pleased that any lord of creation should deign to look upon her. a humility that is greatly en couraged by the lord of» creation. She gets an exalted idea of a young man's intelligence, his ability and su periority In like proportion she exaggerates her own unworthiness Naturally, to make a great idol of him, she must make a ! more insignificant worshiper of herself If he put her on the pedestal in the first dots when he wus attracted by her. she goon climbs down In the hu- I utility of her love and puts him there.

Adhesive plaster may also be used over the wrinkles from nose to mouth. Before taking the plaster off wet it thoroughly with very warm water, or steam it, and it will come off easily. The Treatment. \\ here there are many very fine lines, a good thing to do is to treat wrinkles in thef oilowing manner: fully away, she bows her head to the ground at his feet and wails. "She cares so much for me," writes Jack, "that I am sorry for her." If she were a wise little maid, she would have kept Jack guessing that she cared for him at all. and then he would > have been sorry for himself. 1 She would have kept him on his ■ knees, an attitude that is good for the i soul and salvation of any man. She would have remained on her ped estal. taking care that her eyes always looked over her lover's head, as if seek ing a greater man than he can ever i hope to be. Should Have Kept Him There.

Old-fashioned women have away of giving comfort to a girl in such an un happy plight that Is not without a s ine 1 foundation They tell her it is better to find out a man during the courtship than Vi make that discovery after mar t tinge. If "Jack" will tell this girl what he has told me: That though he has been going with her steadily, and thereby fostering her love for him. he cares i nothing tor her. If he will tell her this, I am sure she ■ will be glad she has been given such a ' fortunate escape. Love like "Jack's” love isn't worth a . sigh.

First, bathe face very thoroughly, then cover it with . leant and massage quickly, using the tapping movement that is to say. slap your face in very gentle, quick taps. Ruh the cream all off with a damp cloth, dry the face and apply a mixture made of equal parts white of egg and cologne spirits. Put it on the face quite thick and let it remain on for half an hour; then Wash off with warm water, massage again quickly and finish off with a hath of very cold water. Many lines are formed in the face simply because it is allowed to droop, that is because the spirit behind It is not buoyant, brave and cheerful. And many wrinkles can never be taken out at all, even with the most heroic treat ment. unless the spirit changes, and the individual resolves that life is not as doleful and miserable an experience as she appears to think it. The mouth that droops, for instance, will droop right on. though the most expensive wrinkle eradicator is used upon it. But without resorting to any treatment at all. you can make the cor ners of your mouth turn up by willing them to do so, and by taking a more cheerful and optimistic point of view. Very frequently wrinkles are the re sult of ill health pnd a run-down con dition of the system and anaemia. This is especially so of girls between 18 and 25. who should not have any wrinkles at all under ordinary circumstances.
