She appeared astonished when I drove up tej her house in the j rickety old siation ba<^k "How is this for a surprise party?” 1 J asked gayly, as she met me at the door. “I fear, Laid I**.” she answered, "that J you'll be the more surprised of the two. j Both children have the mumps and my i maid was so afraid of catching it that I she's gone away. Wait!” she called to the hack driver, who, having deposited my bags, was starting away, “Lucile. have you ever had the mumps'" i “Oh, yes. long ago," 1 replied. 1 So she waived to the driver to go on and invited me into the house. How ever, there was so little welcome in her voire or manner that for a moment 1 was almost sorry I had come. Then 1 readied that she was worried and pre occupied about the children, so 1 felt it my duty to her to overlook her apparent lack of hospitality. When Tom catne home late in the aft ernoon hit genial pleasure in findrng me made up for any lukewarmness on Carol’s part. Something To Do. "This la jolly,” he exclaimed. Then he said how nice it was of me not to run away when I discovered the family plight. “I'm hoping to be able to help Carol,” 1 told him. "Isn’t there something I can do about dinner, dear’.” I asked, turning to her. "It would scarcely be wise for you to venture Into the kitchen in ihat dress, she said, glancing at the pretty pink house gown I had put on after my nap. "Oh, there’s nothing regal about this," 1 assured her. “■Very well, then, if you wish to do something you may put on a big apron and hull the strawberries.” 9 “Delighted!” I responded. But I think it was inconsiderate of Carol to ask: me to stain my fingers with strawberries, when “she knows how careful 1 am with my hands. "Great Caesar!” Tom fairly shouted, when he began to eat his desert. “What’s on these strawberries?" "Powdered sugar, of course,” said his wife. ‘‘Powdered sugar, nothing. Carol! It tastes more like soap.” He gulped down a glass of water. Carol tasted her berries. Why, this • isn’t sugar,"%she declared. "It’s baking ■sepia.” "How in the world did you happen to & put soda on them?” asked Tom. Must by dipping into the wrong jar. 1 , suppose." was the tart answer. She glanced at me somewhat reproachfully, but I did not feel that I was to be blamed, as she should have told me more explicitly just where to get the sugar. ’’That evening, while Carol was looking } after the children, I taught Tom how to play poker-patience, and he was so in terested that w’e played until 11 o’clock. Then Carol came downstairs in a dress ing gow n and said that our laughter was disturbing the children. She did not ap pear in the least grateful to me for en tertaining poor Tom, who would have beenTonely and dismal, 1 am sure, had i t not been for me.” “If you’ll lend me your riding skirt, Carol. I’ll set*forth on your horse to explore the country,” I said the next morning after Tom had left the house, p.nd I foresaw nothing but a tiresome rlay in prospect.

"He was a picturesque figure,” I said to Card when I told her of the incident, * with his white hair and w-hite beard, but as dictatorial as if he owned the entire country.’ 1 1 "He does pretty nearly,” she replied. "He amuses himself by taftiifg care of a part of his own grounds, and the tennis court is his special pride. I’m so sorry, Lueile. that you rode over it. I hope he isn't offended, for Tom is trying awfully lhard to get the contract for some new buildings of his.

He spoke with the sureness of a man of wealth, confident that money will salve any wound. "How much?” Jie asked, baldly. .Mary smiled an inscrutable smile. "Oh, I don’t need money,’’ she said. I carelessly. “Inspector Burke will tell you how easy it is for me to get it.” I Gilder looked at her with a newly dawning respect; then his shrewdness suggested a retort. * Mary Laughed. ^ "Do you want my son to learn what you are?” he said Mary laughed. There was some thing dreadful in that burst of spu rious amusement. "Why not ? ’ she answered.

At His en- iiame Mary rose and moved back ward a step involuntarily, in sheer surprise over his coming. ev**n though she had known he must come—per haps from some other emotion, deep er, hidden as yet even from himself. The young man. w ith his wholesome face alight with tenderness, went swiftly to her. while the other three men stood silent, motionless^ abashed by the event. And Dirk took Mary’s hand in a warm clasp, pressing it ten ded y. % “I didn’t see father,” he said, hap- 1 pilv, “hut 1 left him a note on his I desk at the office i Then, somehow, the surcharged at- I niosphere penetrated his conscious- • ness, and he looked around to see his l father standing grimly opposite him. But there was no change in his ex pression beyond a more radiant smile "Hello, dad!” he cried, joyously. Then you got my note?" The voice of the older man came with a sinister force and saturnine. "No, Dick, 1 haven’t had any note.’ “Then, why ?” The young man broke off suddenly. He was become aware that here was something ma lignant, with a meaning beyond his present understanding, for he saw the inspector and Demarest, and he knew the two of them for what they were officially. A Pawn in the Game. "What are they doing here?" he de manded suspiciously, staring at the \ W’O. “Oh, never mind them.” Mary said. There was a malevolent gleam in her violet eyes. This was the recompense of which she had dreamed through soul-tearing ages. "Just tell your fa ther your news, Dick." The young man had no comprehen sion of the fact that he was only a pawn in the game. He spoke with simple pride. "Dad, we’re married. Mary and I were married this morning." Always, Mary stared with her eyes steadfast on the father. There was triumph in her gaze. This was the vengeance for which she had longed, for which she had ploL.d, the ven geance she had at last achieved. Here was her fruition, the period of her su premacy. Gilder himself seemed dazed by the brief sentence. "Say that again." he commanded. Mary rejoiced to make the knowl edge sure. "I married your son thi.«i morning." she said, in a matter-of-fact tone. "I married him. Do you quite under stand. Mr. Gilder? I married him.” In that insistence lay her ultimate compensation for untold misery. The father stood there wordless, unable to find speeceh against this calamity that had befallen him. It was Burke who offered a diver sion. a crude interruption after his own fashion. "It’s a frame-up,” he roared. He glared at the young man. “Tell your father it ain't true. Why, do yjou know what she is? She’s done time.” Hi* paused for an instant, then spoke in a voice that was brutally menacing. ’’And, by G , she’ll do it again!” The young man turned toward his bride. There was disbelief, hope, de spair, in his face, which had grown older by years with the passing of the seconds. "It’s a lie. Mary,” he said. “Sav it’s a lie!” He seized her hand pas sionately. There was no quiver in her voice <•- she answered. She drew hf*r hani from his clasp and spoke evenly. "It’s the truth. " "It’s the truth!” the young man re peated. incredulously The Son Interrupted. "It is 'the truth.” Mary said, firmly^ "1 have served three years in prison.' There was a silence of a minut* , that was like years. It was the father j who broke it, and now his Voice was | become tremulous. "I wanted to save you, Dick. That’s why I came.” The son interrupted him violently. "There’s a mistake—there must be." It was Demarest who gave an offi cial touch to the tragedy of the mo ment. "There's no mistake." he said. There was authority in his statement. "There is, I tell you!” Dick cried, horrified b\ this conspiracy of defa mation. He turned his tortured face to his bride of a day. "Mary,” he said, huskily, "there is a mistake.” * Something in her face appalled him. He was voiceless for a few terrible instants. Then he spoke again, more beseechingly. "Bay there’s a mistake." Mary preserved her poise. Yes — she must not forget! This was th^ hour of her triumph. What mattered it that the honey of it was as ashes n her mouth? She spoke with a sim plicity that admitted no denial. "It's all quite true.” The man who had so loved her, so trusted her, was overwhelmed by the revelation. He stood trembling for a moment, tottered, almost it seemed would have fallen, but presently steadied himself and sank supine'y into a chair, where he sat in impotent suffering. To Be Continued To-morrow. ♦ TXOfO COVtXlC.H 1 ! 1919 2>v rvis X JC By MME. LINA CAVALIERI. The Distinguished Grand Opera Prima Donna and World-famous Beauty. \ J OU have brought yourself safely through winter with its disfig uring colds and its many aids to fleshmaking found on the tables at which you have eaten. You have es caped spring and its coarsening of thv3 skin and drying of the hair, caused by its cold, high winds. Summer ap proaches and I want to talk to you for a few minutes on how to avoid the perils to beauty that are peculiar to that season. The beauty destroyer of summer is dust—dust, which, flying through the air. lodges in the pores of your face and forms blackheads and pimples; dust, which s.ttles upon your hair, dulling its luster, and gathers about the hair roots, choking them and causing the hair to fall. Make a resolution at once, and let it be: "I will guard against beauty-destroying dust.” You can only do this by great vigilance, but you have long ago learned that vigilance is the price of ocaiiiv. 1 mignt express my \Vishes for you in this respect in other ways, but I choose to so put it that you will remember it. Keep clean. Fight dust with cleanliness. It is not always possible to run home and wash your face when it has been perspiring. You may be on the golf links or you may have been wait ings long time in an office. You can remove the perspiration from the fa v by dampening your handkerchief with a little witch hazel, with rose water or eau de cologne, which you can carry in a tiny bottle in your wrijt bag. Do not use water on the face : hat has been scorched by the burning rays of the sun. The effect is to coarsen the skin and cause w rinkles. Uhanse it before retiring with plenti ful applications of one of the oils I have so often recommended or with your favorite cold cream. The hair will also need greater at tention in summer. It will need more fr ouent shampoos, especially if the #calp perspires If you have "washed ,uji .l.i r twice a month, it will probably need a weekly shampoo in summer. Wash it whenever it needs it. Your hair brush will tell the story. If your sca'p has been perspiring free ly and you have not a chance to shampoo t at once, rub alcohol into the roots to dry the scalp. Perspira tion, drying upon tlie hair leaves the same deposit I described upon the face arid is as inimical to it. If it keeps the hair in a state of moisture, the hair rots and the weakened roots permit it to fall. Wished He Hadn’t. "Yod see.” he exclaimed, as he showed her the wishbone of the Christmas tur key, “you take hold there and I take hold tere. Then we must both make a wish and pull, and when it breaks the one who has the bigger part of it will have his or her wish gratified." "But I don’t know what to wish for,” she protested. “Oh, you can think of something, he said. “No. I can’t." she replied "I can’t think of anything ! w*ant very much.” "Well, I'll wish for you”’ he exclaimed. “You really w*sb for me?" she asked "Well, then, there’s no use fooling with the old wishbone," c ’-h° nterrupted. with a glad smile.

And Jennie, in her plain little white dress, couldn't help but look in wide-eyed wonder at such luxury and grandeur, and could hardly realize that she was going to ride In it all day long.

My wife gets them at bargain sales and auctions and such places as that. But where my dog gets his treasures heaven knows! "We have a garret and a cellar full of things that my wife has bought that are utterly useless. There lias never been any other way of dispos ing of her wares.
