their one meal alone, as both the

Her Ruling Habit.
Tais morning, in turning a page, his
attention was caught by his wife’s
LUg'n. A wife rarely laughs at break
use a husband never.
His curiosity was aroused and peep
cautiously behind a corner of his
paper he saw his wife’s face lighted up
with smiles and animation, as if she
were carrying on a conversation with
<ome one most interesting.
She was looking at her coffee cup. “I
en t believe it when I first heard it,”
she said: "but then, as you know, I soon
had proof.” (A pause.) "Yes. I know
it is wrong to gossip, but if there had
never been any gossip there would be
no history.”
She turned her face inquiringly to
ward the cream pitcher, and then
'aughed.
■What an idea! The cream pitcher”
turning back to her coffee cup—"says
they gossip in heaven: that the women
there gossip by expressing sympathy
for the women who became their hus
bands' second wives'.”
She Needed an Audience.
She laughed uproariously. Then she
began an argument on Women’s Rights
ith the syrup jug, and, though Lysan
der John dropped his paper and stared
nt her in fear, she heeded him not.
He called her name in alarm. ‘‘Are
ou mad?” he said, and she took no no
tice of him, agreeing with her fork that
since the women had the children the
men ought to be compelled to take care
of them after they came.
Lysander John felt his temperature
going down and his hair going up. He
• ailed again in such tones of horror
that at last her attention was at
tracted.
“Are you crazy,” he said, “talking to
the dishes like that?”
“I had to talk to something,” she
said, giving a wink at the cream pitch
r. “and you wouldn't listen.”
Lysander John reached for his hat

TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
"Where I could see the Wold.” said the
girl, meaning creeping between her words.
"With glasses?” he persisted.
For answer the girl showed him a pair
of field glasses concealed in the case.
“Anything worth seeing?”
Bitterly she replied:
“No—opponent Silver Shoe —the Rider
and the Whip—a striding gallop, but
nothing like a trial.”
There was that in her voice which
would have told an expert in human na
ture that the girl despised herself for
what she was doing, but that she could
not resist the demands of this man.
But the cousin of Lady Diana did not
honor the girl with the slightest concern
for her feeling. He was thinking only of
the horses and of how many times lie had
won handily because of some bit of sta
ble information he had been able to ex
tract from the girl.
"Pump Your Brother.”
"I wonder if their dark horse Is worth
anything?" he went on, his gambler's
sense playing in and out of a series of
calculations as to odds and weights.
“What a pile one could win if one knew!
Twenty to one! Look here. Myrtle, rus
can pump your brother, if you like. He
must know."
"He won t tell." said the girl, almost
sullenly.
The tone of the captain was kinder, now
that he had found something that the
girl could do for him.
“You ean make him." he said.
"1 can't," she answered, her breast ris
ing and falling. "I believe he sus
pects —”
"You?"
“You."
“Me?" exclaimed Sartoris.
There was self loathing, accusation and
defiance of all the world in the girl's face.
•‘YOU and ME,” she said slowly, but al
most savagely.
But if he felt any impending danger at
her words Sartoris did not show it. There
was almost bantering humor in his face,
which gave place to stupor as the girl
hurried on in little panting gasps:
••My brother used to tell me everything.
When he told me stable secrets I told
you I have been a traitor to him and a
traitor to them all I have betrayed Lady
Di, whom I love—l have sold out Lord
Beverley, who gave us a home and every
thing we have in the world - and I have
forgotten all that and have sold him out
sold him out for nothing at all nothing
In the whole wide world. A girl only
does that for one reason, and my brother
knows that.”
With white fury Sartoris turned upon
her For a moment it seemed as though
he would hurl the heavy spear in his hand
at the girl.
"You've told him?” he demanded sav-
Myrtle faced him bravely, but in a mo
ment her head drooped.
“No—l haven’t turned traitor to you.
GreVille,” she said brokenly.
Into the whole manner of the captain
there came a great change, lie was as
near to pity aS his shallow nature ever
permitted as he said fervently:
“Os course, you haven't, little Myrtle."
Instantly the jockey’s sister moved clos
er to him. He took one quick step back
ward and his tone became lighter as he
hurried on to bridge the gap of emotion:
"But, come, now. don’t talk heroics—
about traitors and things. Beverley never
bets. If the wide world knew his stable
secrets it would do no harm. If you give
me a tip or two—heaven knows I want It
badly enough who's buri?”
“I am,” said the girl, much of her re
sentment gone because of his few kindly
words of the moment too soon gone.
"And I shan’t do it again."
"Nonsense! You’ll tell me when The
Whip’s tried.”
"I shan’t be here to see."
"No?”
"No—l can’t stay here much longer. 1
dare not."
"Nonsense! Where will you go?”
"Isn’t that for you to say? Haven’t
you promised?"
Sartoris shrugged his shoulders, and
then became aware that Harry Anson was
standing near the main door of the sta
bles, with anxious, speculative eyes upon
him. He left Myrtle and strolled toward
the stable. His eyes for a moment looked
keenly into the face of the boy* and then,
with a sudedn, unwilling movement of his
head, he turned aside, unable, despite his
wonderful customary self control, to face
the brother of 'Myrtle.
CHAPTER V.
Lady Diana Sees Once More Her Artist.
Lord Beverlej was worried over some
thing the women of his granddaughter’s
house parts had told him They had de
scribed the cours. of ihe otter hunt and
this description had displeased him ex
ceedingly, though he was at much pains
not to let the women see it. But straight
to Captain Sartoris, whom he Instinc
tively disliked, though he tried to over
come that feeling, he went.
“Greville,” exclaimed the marquis, "I’m
afraid from what I hear that you went
trespassing this morning."
"Oh. did we?” exclaimed Sartoris,
lightly, not attaching much importance to

the opinions of the racing marquis upon
any subject.
"Yes; from beyond the bend where the
bourne winds through the Brancaster
property.” Beverly continued, in a mod
ified tone.
"< if course* so it does,” answered Sar
toris. "Well, we didn’t go far. Surely it
doesn’t matter. As a neighbor. Brancas
ter wouldn’t object."
Beverley frowned as he went on, in his
ponderous and bombastic tone:
"He's a neighbor to whom I object—cer-
not one from whom I’d ask fa
vors."
One of the women of the house party.
Lady Antrobus, had overheard the two
men use the name of Brancaster. Os Lady
Antrobus it had been said "she rushed
in where well, you know, my dear.” Her
shrewish curiosity made her anxious to
know what they were saying of Brancas
ter so. despite the breeding of her line, she
interjected herself into the conversation.
"Lord Brancaster will have to sell the
Ricvers for a song if he goes on racing
so desperately,” she said.
She was an old neighbor of the marquis,
and her chance touching upon a hobby
of Beverley aroused his ire.
“Pardon me.” said he. “BETTING so
desperately. Gambling is not racing."
"He's a wonderfully cool gambler,”
went on the chatty tongue of his femi
nine neighbor. "I saw him at Sandown
last autumn betting over the rail with all
the bookmakers on the other side ranging
at him like a pack of wolves."
Sartoris himself had taken the other end
of some of these bets, and his smile was
rueful as he put in:
"With Kelly, the leviathan, leading
them, hurling the odds at his bead in
thousands.”
"For the Excitement."
It was plain that Lady Antrobus, who
had known of Brancaster since he was a
boy. had rather a sort of admiration for
him.
"And he never turned a hair,” she went
on. 1 believe he loves the excite
ment. •

Lady Diana and of Brancaster had left a

deep bitterness in the heart of Beverley,
though his bark was worse than his bite.
The marquis felt that a man of his
own position and morality owed It to the
world to point out every “horrible exam
ple,” even if that example were the son
of an old family friend. “For how other
wise can the rising generation get the
proper moral perspective?" he had asked
more than once.
So now he did not hesitate, though he
was well aware that his utterances
would place him in the light of seeming
rather less of a gentleman than he was

Advice to the

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
BLUE FOR GIRLS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
To settle an argument, -would you
kindly tell what colors are used for
babies in sending out birth notices?
Whether it is pink for boys and
blue for girls, or blue for boys and
pink for girls? M. A. B.
It is not Important which color is
used, but custom has given blue to the
girl baby and pink to the boy.
SELFISH AND UNGALLANT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
A friend of mine asked me to the
theater a few nights ago, but re
fused to call for me at my home.
He wanted me to meet him at the
theater. A friend of his took me
the same night and called at my
home for me. Now my friend does
not talk to me. Do you think he
has any ground for being insulted 9
PERPLEXED.
You are the one who should be th»
aggrieved party. If- he sulks because
of the rebuke you gave him, don’t let it
worry you. He needs the lesson.
BEWARE OF SURFEIT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Kindly inform me if a lady should
allow her fiance to kiss her ail he
wishes, and If it is proper for her
to return the kisses. We are en
gaged, but for no set time.
C. A. B.
Ihe tare kiss is the sweetest. I
think if you set a limit on these tokens
of love your lover will prize them more
highly.
As tor returning them: Don’t be too
lavish with your evidences of affection.

a young man ten years my senior.

heart unsought and must pay the hu
miliating penalty. You can’t make any
advances further than showing 5
friendly interest by asking him to call.
But don’t urge him and assume an in
difference you may not feel in extend
ing the invitation. Let him take the
next step toward becoming friends, and
if he never takes it, try to forget him.
YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 23 years old. About seven
months ago I made the acquain
tance of a young man two years
my senior. I have been going with
him twice a week until lately. My
parents seriously objected to me
marrying him. For his folks are
not as high as we are. lam deeply
in Jove with him. and he gave me a
ring, but yet I am not sure that he
really loves me the way I would
like him to. He says he does. He
is making $25 a week. Do you
thing he loves me enough for me to
marry him without my folks' con
sent and live happily? He has not
any bad habits. E. M. E.
A woman of 23 who is courted by a
steady, reliable young man of 26, is in
position to decide for herself, and there
seems every reason why’ the decision
should be in the lover’s favor. If he
gets $25 a week and she is trained in
ways of economy, it is enough to mar
ry on.
Perhaps your parents exaggerate the
difference In rank. It should never
militate against worth and love.
