W HEN Jennie got home that night she told her boarding house keeper she was going out the next day—being Sunday— with Tom. They were going into the country' and have dlnneT at some lit tle inn that Tom knew about. So the next morning she hurried out to where she was to meet THE MAN. He was waiting for her with a big touring car and a chauffeur to drive It. And Jennie, in heh plain little white dress, couldn't help but look in wide-eyed wonder at such luxury and grandeur, and could Wrdly realize that she was going to ride in it long. ^ THE MAN helped her in, and was very careful to arrange the robes “Just so,” and explained to her :t would never do for his little “pal” to get echllled. Oo-! Golly! Thought Jennie, this is even better than the taxicab—and'the cushions were so soft and “comfy.” And so they rolled on and on, until early afternoon, when they came to the quaintest looking little hotel that nestled In the trees by the side of the road. And THE MAN said they were going to have the daintiest luncheon that Jennie ever tasted. The landlord bowed and smiled, and seemed very* happy to see THE MAN, and ushered them into a private room, where the table was all set as if waiting for them. And everything had an air of being prearranged But Jennie was so happy she didn’t notice it, or the side glances of understanding between the landlord and THE MAN—as if he had been there many times before. THE MAN ordered cocktails, and it tasted so warm and nice to Jennie that she didn’t say no, when THE MAN asked her to have another one before they ate their luncheon. After the second one. Jennie felt so happy she wanted to sing and laugh both at the same time, and didn’t quite real ize at first when THE MAN held her tight in his arms and was kissing her. * • • • • An hour or two after Jennie had left the house that morning Tom came over for her to go out with him to spend Sunday as they both had be come accustomed to do. Jennie’s hoarding house friend was great’y surprised when she saw Tom—for Jennie had told her she was going out with Tom that day. Tom told her there had been no definite arrangement made, but had Just come over to call for Jennie the same as he had always done. And then Jennie's friend realized for the first time that the little girl had lied to her. - HAL COFFMAN. ^ (To B® Continued.) Well Versed. Lord Duffer In delivered an address be fore the Greek class of the McGill Uni versity. about which a reporter wrote: "His Ix>rdship spoke to the class In the purest ancient Greek, without mis pronouncing a word or making the slightest grammatical solecism ” "Good heavens!" remarked Sir Hector I«angevin to the late* Sir John A. Mac Donald. “how did the reporter know that?” I told him," was the Conservative statesman s answer "But you don’t know Greek.” "True; but I know a little about poli tics." Do You Know Thai— The Canadian Parliament is one of the few Parliaments in the world where speeches in two languages are allowed. This, of course, is due to the large French and English ele ments in Canada. For instance, when the Canadian House of Commons is sitting in committee, should a French- Canadian start to address the House in French, you may see the English chairman retire from his seat and allow a French chairman to Jake hjs place. In the same manner the offi cial English reporters cease work and a staff of French shorthand writers begin. Owing to the frequency of weak exouses for leave of absence from work many employers have framed a special code of rules to govern days off The following are the regula tions of one Arm: "1.

Wished He Hadn’t. "You see," he exclaimed, as he showed her the wishbone of the Christmas tur key. "you take hold there and I take hold here 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 1 don’t know what to wish for," she protested. "Oh, you can think of something.” he said. "No. I can’t,” she replied. *1 can’t think of anything I want very much.” “Well, I'll wish for you!” he exclaimed. "You really wish for me?" she asked. “Well, then, there’s no use fooling with the old wishbone," she interrupted, with a glad smile. "You can have me." A Matter of Observation.

At last'Gilder was restored in a meaure to his self-possession. He spoke with the sureness of a man of wealth, confident that money will salve any wound. ‘How much?” he asked, baldly Mary smiled an inscrutable smile. “Oh, I don’t need money,” she said, carelessly. “Inspector Burke will tell you how easy It is for me to get it.” 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. "I'm r eady to tell him myself.” Then Glider showed the true heart of him, in which love for his boy was before all else. He found himself wholly at a loss before the woman’s unexpected reply. “But I don’t want him to know,” he stammered. "Why, I’ve spared the hoy all his life. If he really loves you —it will r” At that moment the son himself en tered hurriedly from the hallway. In his eagerness he saw no one save the woman whom he loved. At his en trance Mary rose and moved back ward a step involuntarily, in sheer surprise over his coming, even though she had known he must come—pe^ haps from some other emotion, deep er, hidden as yet even from himself. The young man, with his wholesome face alight ith tenderness, w'ent swiftly to her. while the other three men stood silent, motionless, abashed by the event. And Dick took Mary’s hand in a warm clasp, pressing it ten derly. “I didn’t see father," he said, hap pily, "but I left him a note on his desk at the office.” Then, somehqw, the surcharged at mosphere penetrated his conscious ness, and he looked around to see his 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 z d saturnine. "No. Dick, I haven’t » * any note.” “Then, why ?” Ti.o yoilng 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 two. “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 1 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 w'hich she had plotted, the ven geance she had at last achieved. Here w as 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 this morning,” she said, in a matter-of-fact tdne. "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 spdeceh 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 you know w’hat she is? She’s done thne.” He paused for an instant, then spoke in a voice that was brutally menacing. "And. by G , she'll do it again!” The youhg man turned toward his bride There was disbelief, hope, de spair. in his face, w'hich had grown older by years with the passing of the seconds. it’s a lie.
