the window, but a stone pro

They could only see the paradin' as
they passed.
Below the street was lined with
people, and now there was a general
stir of expectancy as every one gazed
down the avenue at the tirst strains
of the approaching hand.
• Wait, we’ll soil our gloves.'' and
Mrs. Stevens spread a newspaper over
the dusty windowsill
The music grew louder. Policemen
were patroling the street to keep
bark the crowd on the curbing. The
great avenue was swept clear.
First came the horsehack brigade,
sixteen women in black riding habits
with yellow pennants of votes for
Women. Then the standard bearers,
the grand marshal, the band—and the
parade was under way.
Helens first impression was that
the women marched well- very well.
They carried themselvos with con
scious dignity and an earnestness of
purpose The white gowns and yel
low regalia shone brilliantly In the
sunlight.
"Oh. I wish we could read the ban
ners,” complained Mrs. Stevens, for
they could see only the backs of the
banners as they passed. "I should
think they would letter them on both

murmured Helen, as a company of
women in black university gowns
and mortar-board raps marched by
with stately precision.

Look, you're missing this,” inter
rupted Mrs. Stevens, as a great square
canvas lettered. "Votes for Women,
Victory 1315," was carried flat by half
a dozen women on each side.
Some one from an upper window
threw a handful of coppers on the
canvas. The crowd laughed, but the
women gazed serenely ahead. A band
followed playing the French battle
hymn "The Marseilles." Then came
a company in swinging step to the
music, carrying many banners.
Oh whv don't they all wear

You can’t help but be Impressed with
their dignity and earnestness.”
•I shouldn't say that woman in a

laughed Mr Stevens “What would
you call that—a strut?”
"Look at this one over here.” and
Warren pointed out an extremely
stout woman in an extremely tight
black dress "She waddles French
heels, too! ('an you beat it?”
"Dear. 1 don’t think that’s at all
funny, and it’s certainly not nice for
you to try to pick out things to
ridicule. Among 30,000 women some
of them may dress inappropriately,
but that doesn't affect the cause

Ah. here we have the real thing!"

A Big Crowd.
"He's great." grinned Warren.
"I’ve always been partial to drum
majors. They’re so blamed pompous
over nothing Wish he’d drop that
thing. I'd like to see him scurry
after it.”
But the drum major gradually
flourished and tossed his baton with-
. out mishap, and Warren’s desire to
see his dignity upset was not grat
ified.
"Wonder how long they can tie
up these side streets?" asked Mr.
Stevens. "Just look over there."
As Mr Stover's office was in a cor
ner building, they could see up the
cross street, which was jammed with
stalled traffic. But no one seemed to
mind the delay. People were stand
ing up in their cars, and som*» ha 1
climbed on the limousine tops A.id
were waving at the paraders.
“There’s a sensible fellow.” Warn n
was looking down at the driver of u
huge beer truck, who had gone com
fortably to sleen on his aeat.
“Oh. here are more college girls."
Helen leaned forward eagerly.
“There’s Vassar and Byrn Mawr,” as
the breeze blew the flags so they could
read them. “Don’t thov march well?”
"Hero comes the Sutherland Sis
ters," scoffed Warren, as a group >f
young women, dressed as flower girl*
with long flowjng hair, marched by.
“Well, they look a lot better without
hats," commented Mr. Stevens. "From
the way most women wear their hats
Jammed down over their head, you’d
think they hadn’t any hair ”
“Ah, this Is more like it!" Warren

now we ARE getting our money’s

pany. “Look how they sit hunched
up in their saddles! To-morrow we’ll
read about the graceful riders on
their prancing steeds.’ Well,” with a
yawn, getting up from his seat on the
window-sill, "had about enough of
this?”
“Oh, no! No, dear; let’s not go yet.”
pleaded Helen. "It’s really a very
wonderful demonstration. I'd like to
see it through.”
“What's the matter with you? Get

dignantly. “I was simply neutral. I
didn’t know anything about it—and I
don't know very much now, Butther

this parade to make me feel that I

“The first symptoms," groaned War
ren; "you’ll have it bad. Suppose I’ll
soon be hearing of nothing but meet
ings, unions and the ‘cause.' Let’s »*o
home and tie a 'Votes for Women' on
Pussy Purr-mew."
But this sally Helen treated with
th** lofty silence it deserved.
"I’ve got my car around the corner,
if you want to go now ," proposed Mr.
Stevens.
Seeing It Through.
But both Helen and Mrs. Stevens
insisted on seeing it through. So they
were left alone to watch the rest of
the parade undisturbed by Warren’s
facetious comments, while he and Mr.
Stevens settled themselves in com
fortable chairs to smoke and talk
fihop.
By this time the marching women
were both warm and tired, but their
enthusiasm had not wavered. Wearily
but earnestly they trudged along with
the same quiet dignity they had
evinced from the first.
"You know what time it is?" finally
demanded Warren. ‘Half-past five!

"I believe you made that remark
before,” said Warren dryly.
Mr. Stevens locked his desk while
Warren closed the windows, and they
all went down the hall to the elevator.
It was crowded with people who had
been seeing the parade from upper
offices. Every one was commenting
on the marchers.
“Well. they’re In earnest—and

very audible comment of one man.

TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT.
CHAPTER XI.
The Thief.
Mary remained in joyous spirits
after her victorious matching of
brains against a lawyer of high
standing in his profession. For the
time being, conscience was muted by
gratified ambition. Her thoughts just
then were far from the miseries of
the past, with their evil train of con
sequences in the present. But that
past was soon to be recalled to her
with a vividness most terrible.
Hhe had entered the telephone
booth, which she had caused to be
installed out of an extra closet of her
bedroom for the sake of greater priv
acy on occasion, and it was during
her absence from the drawing room
that Garson again came into the
apartment, seeking her. On being
told by Aggie as to Mary's where
abouts. he set down to await her re
turn, listening without much inter
est to the chatter of the adventuress.
* * * It was just then that the
maid appeared.
“There’s a girl wants to see Miss
Turner,” she explained.
The irrepressible Aggie put on her
most flnically elegant air.
Has she a card?” she inquired
haughtily, while the maid tittered ap
preciation.
“No,” was the answer. "But she
says it’s important. I guess the poor
thing’s in hard luck, from the look
( her.’’ the kindly Fannie added.
“Oh, then she’ll be welcome, of
course,” Aggie declared, and Garson
nodded in acquiescence. "Tell her
to come in and wait. Fannie. Miss
Turner will be here right away.” She
turned to Garson as the maid ieft the
room. "Mary sure is an easy boob,”
she remarked, cheerfully. "Bless her
soft heart!”
The Girl Appears.
A curiously gentle smile of appre
ciation softened the immobility of
the forger’s face as he again nodded
assent.
“We might just as well pipe off the
skirt before Mary gets here,” Aggie
suggested, with eagerness.
A minute later, a girl perhaps 20
years of age, stepped just within the
doorway, and stood there with eyes
downcast, after one swift, furtive
glance about her. Her whole ap
pearance was that of dejection. Her
soiled black gown, the cringing pos
ture. the pallor of her face, proclaim
ed the abject misery of her state.
Aggie, who was not exuberant in
her sympathies for any one other
than herself, addressed the newcomer
with a patronizing inflection, modu
lated in her best manner.
“Won’t you come in, please?” she
requested.
The shrinking girl shot another
veiled look in the direction of the
speaker.
“Are you Miss Turner?” she asked,
in a voice broken by nervous dismay.
‘Really, I am sorry,” Aggie replied,
primly, “but I am only her cousin,
Miss Agnes Lynch. But Miss Turner
is likely to be back any minute now.”
“Can I wait?” came the timid ques
tion.
“Certainly,” Aggie answered, hos
pitably. “Please sit down."
As the girl obediently sank down on
the nearest chair, Garson addressed
her sharply, so that the visitor started
uneasily at the unexpected sound.
“You don’t know’ Miss Turner?”
“No,” came the faint reply.
“Then, what do you want to see
her about?”
Aggie Catehes Herself.
There was a brief pause before the
girl could pluck up courage enough
for an answer. Then, it was spoken
confusedly, almost in a whisper.
“She once helped a girl friend of
mine, and I thought—1 thought ”
“You thought she might help you,”
Garson interrupted.
But Aggie, too, possessed some per
ceptive powers, despite the fact that
she preferred to use them little in
ordinary affairs.
“You have been in the stir—prison,
I mean.” She hastily corrected the
lapse into underworld slang.
Came a distressed muttering of
assent from the girl.
“How- sad!” Aggie remarked, in a
voice of shocked pity for one so in
conceivably unfortunate. "How very,
very sad!”
This ingenuous method of diversion
was put to an end by the entrance of
Mary, who stopped short on seeing
the limp figure huddled in the chair.
“A visitor. Agnes?” she inquired.
At the sound of her voice, and be
fore Aggie could hit on a fittingly ele
gant form of reply, the girl looked up.
And now r , for the first time, she spoke
with some degree of energy, albeit
there w’as a sinister undertone in the
husky voice.
“You’re Miss Turner?” she ques
tioned.
"Yes.” Mary said, simply. Her
words rang kindly; and she smiled
encouragement.
A gasp burst from the white lips of
the girl, and she cowered as one
stricken physically.
"Mary Turner! Oh. my God! I—”
She hid her face within her arms and
sat bent until her head rested on her
knees in an abasement of misery.
Vaguely startled by the hysterical
outburst from the girl. Mary’s imme
diate thought was that here was a
pitiful instance of one suffering from
starvation.
"Joe,” she directed rapidly, "have
Fannie bring a. glass of milk with an
egg and a little brandy In it, right
away.”
The girl in the chair was shaking
soundlessly under the stress of her
emotions. A few disjointed phrases
fell from her quivering lips.
“I didn't know—oh. I couldn’t!”
“Don’t try to talk just now," Mary
warned, reassuringly. “Wait until
you’ve had something to eat.”
Aggie, who had observed develop
ments closely, now lifted her voice in
tardy lamentations over her own stu
pidity. There was no affectation of
the fine lady in her self-reproach.
"Why, the poor gawk’s hungry!”
she exclaimed. “And I never got the
dope,on her. Ain’t I the simp!”
The girl regained a degree of self-
control. and showed something of for
lorn dignity.
“She Would Come.’’
“Yes,” she said dully, "I’m starv
ing."
Mary regarded the afflicted crea
ture with that sympathy bern only
of experience.
“Yes,” she said softly, “I under
stand.” Then she spoke to Aggie.
"Take her to my room, and let her
rest there for a while H3ve her
drink the egg and milk slowly, and
then lie down for a few minutes any
how.”
Aggie obeyed with an air of bus
tling activity.
“Sure, J will!’’ she declared. She
went to the girl and helped her to
stand up. “We’ll fix you out all right,”
she said, comfortingly. “Come along
with me. * * * Hungry! Gee, but
that’s tough!”
Half an hour afterward, while Mary
was at her desk, giving part of her
attention to Joe Garson. who sat near,
and part to a rather formidable pile
of neatly arranged papers. Aggie re
ported with her charge, who, though
still shambling of gait, and stooping,
showed by some faint color in her
face and an increased steadiness of
bearing that the food had already
strengthened her much.
“She would come,” Aggie explained.
“I thought she ought to rest for a
while longer anyhow.” She half-
shoved the girl infb a chair opposite
the desk, in an absurd travesty on
the maternal manner.
“I’m all right, I tell you,” came the
querulous protest.
Whereupon Aggie gave over the un
congenial task of mothering and set
tled herself comfortably in a chair,
with her legs merely crossed as a
compromise betw’een ease and pro
priety.
“Are you quite sure?” Mary said to
the girl. And then, as the other
nodded in assent, she spoke with a
compelling kindliness. “Then you
must tell us all about it—this trou
ble of yours, you know. What is your
name?”
Once again the girl had recourse to
the swift, searching, furtive glance,
but her voice was colorless as she-re-
plied, listlessly;
“Helen Morris.”
Mary regarded the girl with an ex
pression that was inscrutable when
she spoke again.
”1 don’t have to ask if you have
been in prison,” she said gravely.
"Your face shows it.”
“—I came out—three months ago,”
was the halting admission.
Mary watched the shrinking figure
reflectively for a long minute before
she spoke again. Then there was a
deeper resonance in her voice.
“And you’d made up your mind to
go straight?”
■'Yes.’’ The word was a whisper
“You were going to do what the
chaplain had told you,” Mary went on
in a voice vibrant with varied emo
tions. "You were going to start ali
over again, weren’t you? You were
going to begin a new life, weren’t
you?” The bent head of the girl ben'
still lower in assent. There came a
cynical note in Mary’s utterance now
“It doesn’t work very well, does it?”
she asked bitterly.
The girl gave sullen agreement.
“No.” she said dully, “I’m whipped.”
Mary’s manner changed on the in
stant. She spoke cheerfully for the
first time.
“Well, then.” she questioned, “how
would you like to work with us?"
The girl looked for a second with
another of her fleeting, stealthy
glances.
“You—you mean that ?*
Mary explained her intention in the
matter very explicitly. Her voice
grew boastful.
“Our kind of work pays well when
you know’ how. Look at us.”
Aggie welcomed the opportunity
for speech, too long delayed.
“Hats from Joseph’s, gowms from
Lucile’s, and cracked ice from Tif
fany’s. But It ain’t ladylike to wear
it,” she concluded with a reproachful
glance at her mentor.

Jack s Front Doorbell.
The proudest day in old Farmer Gile s
life had dawned. Dreesed in his Sun
day best, he took the train to Boston
to visit his sailor son.
And, although the train journey was
his first, its excitements paled before
the vision of the huge floating sailors'
homes he saw in the harbor.
Timidly he approached the side of the
gigantic waterway leviathan which had
his son on board, and, as he took hold
of the hanging ropes to assist himself
on deck, hei was more than surprised to
hear a dreadful clanging of bells.
This clamor was merely the sounding
of eight bells to denote the time of day;
but old Farmer Giles, seeing an officer
in the distance. wadd4ed up and accost
ed him. remarking apologetically;
"Good-day. sir! I've come to see my
son. Jack; but. 'pon my soul. sir. i

Be Wise! Make YourOwn Ice Cream
Of course, you know that home-made ice creams, sherbets or ices are
superior from every viewpoint. They are always sweet, patre and
wholesome; there is a flavor and genuine goodness about them that is
not found in the general run of factory products. Besides that, when
you make your own preparations you know that the ingredients are
always pure, and that the can is clean and sanitary- The main reason
why icecream is made in but comparatively few homes, is the work and
bother connected with the old-
fashioned crank freezer. That
is one reason why the arrival of
The ‘Ice- Kist’ Crankless Freezer
will be hailed with delight by
every one who is fond of ice
creams, etc., because it elimi
nates the tedious taming of the
crank entirely, and produces
creams, sherbets and ices that
will make your mouth water.
That is one reason, but there
are manv others.
DON'T YOU KNOW that the enjoyment of a dish largely depends
upon the manner in which it is servedi 1 Could yon imagine a daintier
and more appetizing manner of serving ice cream* than provided ter
by the "Ice-Kist?”
