Rimlngton had gone over to the tire that roared up the great open chimnej a fragrant tire of peat-stacks and driftwood. The play of Its blue and violet flames fascinated him. as though he were a child He held out his dead hands to their glow, and felt his eyelids smart with the moisture the pain of their returning life brought to his •yes Only One Thought. It almost seemed as though the sight of the fire- the glow of warmth that wrapped about him in the air of the * om fortable kitchen had banished for the Instant all other thoughts from his mind He hardly seemed aware of the girl as she moved swiftly about the kitchen, set ting out meat and a loaf all the food that the larder could afford on the table behind him As for her. it was plain that she kept her eyes averted from the figure of shame at the fire 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 thoae eyes so familiar and yet so strange eyes that held an odd. half - furtive, half-ashamed 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 .lack! 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 fire light playing on copper and crockery, the coarse, white-covered table, and the rough, plentiful food "And I came here with your aunt —to live your life, .lack; to walk step by step with you in your agony. Oh, the irony of It!” Rlmlngton made a movement as though to take her in his arms, then shrinking)' drew back It was a movement that spoke more eloquently than words, and the girl answered it by another Tn a moment she was against his breast, her face upturned to his. her lips seeking his The fire-glow on her face showed the ' man the love-light in her eyes that he had often dreamed of. and never, even ip i dreams, had hoped to see. Then, as- I 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 w<»uld have waited upon a child, cut ting up fond, choosing dainty portions.

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 eyes “That means they’ve been waiting for me to make for the cottage.” Rlmlngton said. In his roughened voice, that seemed to have grown rusty through long dis service. "I mustn't stay a minute.

Rlmlngton stood rigid. listening To him the silence seemed unbroken save for the loud ticking of a white-faced clock on the mantelpiece.

The Making of a Pretty Girl * Hou- to Prevent and Fight Wrinkles By Margaret Hubbard Ayer ' EVERY woman gets worried when the first wrinkle makes its ap pearance. She may be quite he roic about it. and say that she likes lines In the face because they give so j much character to the appearance, and ail that. Rut you and 1 know that she has had an awful tight with herself be fore she comes out with that beautiful fairy tale about character. It's the same fight that will be repeated again when a little tuft of gray hairs can no longer be covered up from view. I here are all kinds of wrinkle*, some of them really do denote character, and they often appear on the face of the girl of twenty just between her brows as n sign of thoughtful concentration. That kind of a girl never knows she has them for years to come, for she Is not the kind of girl who looks very closely at the mirror. F'very 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 speak of fine and beautiful attributes The girl with the norizontal lines across her forehead tries hard to do right and is over-conscientious. Short lines at the corners of ihe 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. I.ines around the eyes, when they point upward, tell the story of a mirth ful, happy disposition, just as those that droop the other way tell of concen trated effort w hen 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 the lower cheek w'hlch run down under the chin. A forehead that Is criss-crossed by many little lines in the middle of the brow show s that small frets'and w or ries take up much of that person's time. What No Woman Likes. No matter what the lines indicate, no I woman likes to see a wrinkle In her | face, and I have heard tell that men are j not exactly crazy about them, either. Probably y pti have noticed that the average man's face doesn't wrinkle as quickly as a woman's does: that is be cause the man who shaves gives his face a daily massage treatment, which stimulates the circulation and keeps wrinkles away, while tjje woman does nothing but bathe her face in a half-hearted way. or treat it witheream when she happens to tliink about it. Friction will keep the face free of j wrinkles better than anything else, and j will eradicate Ihe first hairline wrln- I kies when they come. The woman who knows she 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, and she 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 © Py Beatrice Fairfax “A woman's heart is a very queer thing; on the whole. It falls in love in the most unaccountable wav with the most unaccountable man.”—J. G. Holland. JACK writes the following letter: "I am eighteen and am keeping company with a girl the same age. 1 don't care much about her, but she loves me. I 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 says 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 greatlj en couraged by the lord of creation. She gets an exalted idea of a young man's intelligence, his ability and su pei iority. In tike proportion she exaggerates her ow n 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 days A hen he was attracted by het, she soon climbs down tn the hu mility of her love and puts him there. He thinks it is his rightful place Ho has no qualms about his rights to the perch to which her love has ex alted him He gets so iccustomed to ihe incensx she burns at his shrine that it no longer has any existence in his thoughts, and ht begins to sniff a lord -I.x nose to get whiffs from the incense ' other girls are burning Gives Him Pedestal Having mad humility het first blun det she adds the second one of show- , ng him t hut she C A RES With jealous ex e she notes that lord ly nose of bls m ex Idem enjoyment of I flu scent arising fioin incense burned <>x i>tliv> women Then. Instead of rix |" g tiom hri km e- and walking scorn —A I r .---"*** \\ JI / . >\ 1 / Ik / ' ! / ■ A pretty face shows no disfiguring wrinkles. and if this is not possible sew a small piece of court plaster or stick it on to a piece of cardboard, gluing the cardboard to the back of the plaster, not to the sticky side. Stretch thes kin over the wrinkle with the fingers so that it is perfectly smooth, paste on your plas ter, which should hold the skin stretch ed. This treatment is only a reminder to stop frowning. It can also be used at the side of the eyes to keep crows feet away. . Where there are many wrinkles on the brow stretch the skin smooth and paste adhesive plaster over it. and keep it on all night if possible. 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. Where there are many very fine lines, a good thlnpr 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 •lack, "that I am sorry for her.” If she were a wise little maid, she would have kept .lack 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 1 hope to be. Should Have Kept Him There. By refusing to confess her own Jove 1 she would have retained his. But now that she has lost his love I question if she has lost as valuable a possession a« ".lack" thinks. A tickle and half-hearted lover means 1 a more tickle husband who is heartless. Old-fashioned women have away of giving comfort to a girl in such an un happy plight that is not without a sane • foundation. They tell her it Is better to find out a man during the courtship than to make that discovery after mar- : riage. 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 1 nothing for her. If he xx ill tell her this. I am sure she ' will be glad she has been given such a ’ fortunate escape.

First. bathe the face very thoroughly, then cover it with cream and massage quickly, using the tapping movement— that is to say. slap your face in very gentle, quick taps. Rub the cream al! off with a damp cloth, dry the face and apply a mixture made of equal parts xvhite 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 bath 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- • suit of ill health and a run-down con dition of the system and anaemia.
