'In the days gone by they had been sweethearts; but, alas, hatred Is ever akin to love, and the relationship had changed in this case. One day the former lover had to make a business call on the girl’s father, and, of course. It so hap pened that she answered the door. "I beg your pardon,” said the young man. keeping his nerve in the trying Circumstances remarkably well, "Miss Perkins, I think. Is your father in?” "No, he's not, I’m sorry to say. Did you wish to see him personally?” asked the maiden, without the slight est sign of recognition showing in her eyes. "Yes; but it will do to-morrow. Thank you. I will call again!

He is sick in bed and the doctors advise him to leave the city for his health. He wants me to mar ry him before he leaves the city, and live with his parents, who like me very much. My parents object to the marriage. VIOLET R. There are many objections to his plan. You must not marry a man who is in bad health; you must not marry until he can take you to a home of your own, and you must not marry when your parents object. Are not these enough? NO. TAEAR MISS FAIRFAX. I am nineteen and deeply in love with a man of twenty-three. We were very lovable for a time, but a girl friend of mine changed his mind entirely by telling him he can get a rich girl with money Instead of a poor girl. Should I waste my time waiting for him? I love him and fear I can’t do without him. STELLA. You are wasting your time and emotion in caring for a man whose heart can be turned so lightly. Don’t say you can not do wlthoul him.

TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. Gilder sighed resignedly. Hi?' heavy face was lined with anxiety. There was a hestltatlon in his manner of speech that was wholly unlike its usual quick decisiveness. "I don’t like this sort of thing,” he said, doubtfully. "I let you go ahead because I can’t suggest any alterna tive, but I don’t like it, not at all. It seems to me that other methods might be employed with excellent re sults without the element of treachery which seems to Involve me as well as you in our efforts to overcome this woman.” Burke, however, had no qualms as to such plotting. “You must have crooked ways to catch crooks, believe me,” he said cheerfully. ‘‘It’s the easiest and the quickest way into trouble for them.” The return of the detectives caused him to break off, and he gave h’ls at tention to the final arrangements of his men. “You’re in charge here,” he said to Cassidy, “and T hold you responsi ble. Now, listen to this, and get it.” His coarse voice came with a grat ing note of/ command. “I’m coming back to get this bunch myself, and I’ll call ypu when you’re wanted. You’ll wait in the storeroom out there and don’t make a move till you hear from me, unless by any chance things go wrong and you get a call from Griggs. You know who he is.

Mary Turner herself, too, was In A condition utterly wretched, and fo.- the same cause—Dick Gilder. That source of the father’s suffering was hers as well* She had won her am bition of years—revenge on the man who had sent her to prison. And now the Joy of it was a torture, for tha puppet of her plans, the son, had sud denly become the chief thing In her life. She had taken it for granted that he would leave her after he came to know that her marriage to him was only a device to bring shame on his father. Instead, he loved her. That fact seemed the secret of her distress. He loved her More, he dared believe, and to assert boldly, that she loved him. Had he acted otherwise, the quitter would have been simple enough. * * * But oe loved her. loved her still, though he knew the shame that had clouded her life, knew the motive that had led her to accept him as a husband. More —by a sublime audacity, he declared that she loved him. There came, a thrill in her heart each time she thought of that—that she loved him. The Idea was mon strous. of course, and yet— Here as always she broke off, a hot flush blazing In her cheeks. " * * Nev ertheless. such curious fancies pur sued her through the hours. She strove her mightiest to rid herself of them, but in vain. Ever they persist ed. She sought to oust them by thinking of anyone else—of Aggie, of Joe. There at last was satisfaction. Her interference between the man who saved her life and the tempta tion of the English crook had pre vented a dangerous venture, which might have meant ruin to the one whom she esteemed for his devotion to her, if for no other reason. At least, she had kept him from the out rageous folly of an ordinary burglary. To Be Continued Monday. essary.

Her cheeks were as pink as a baby’s. The head gear of her male companion had a lit tle bow at the rear. His trousers had cuffs at the ankles and he had not shaved often enough to have acquired the whitish-gray complexion of a grown up man. The two fell into the chairs at the little table in the con fectionery store and ordered choco late sodas with the exuberance of youth. "Goodness!” said she, following W’ith her red eyes a middle-aged couple who had entered and taken a table in a corner. “Shouldn’t you think when people were as old as that th§y would have got over caring for soda water and ice cream?” Pretty Old. “I should say so,” agreed the young man. His expression was distinctly pitying as he watched the newcomers. The man was getting portly, and while the woman’s hair was arranged in the latest mode it was sprinkled with gray and she had a decided matronly look. One could be certain that she had tucked all the children in bed before she and dad started for their evening stroll. "Wouldn’t you hate to be as old as that?” said the young man. "W T hat do you suppose people find to enjoy in life at that age?” ‘‘Goodness knows!” said the pretty girl. "They can’t go to dances any more, and to have gray hair I should think would be perfectly awful! 1 read about a woman once who was a famous beauty and when she found her first gray hair she died of a broken heart. I know just how she felt!” ‘‘You’ll never get gray!” comforted the young man. “Not if you live to be 100. But I should think people like those over there would envy young folks like us when they saw them getting so much enjoyment out of life! Why, they aren’t even talking to each other only now and then! They're just bored with existence. I don't wonder!” "I should think,” said the pretty girl as she daintily poised her spoon and watched the persons under dis cussion, “that they’d feel kind of silly coming in here and ordering anything so Juvenile as sodas! It seems funny, somehow! You never think of old people liking such things!” ‘‘We’ll never be as old as that,” said the young man meditatively. “We won’t let ourselves get so old. I can’t imagine you getting old, anyway. You’ll always be just as slim and girlish as you are now ” “And think of you as fat as that man.” She trilled with laughter. “I suppose they have grown so apathetic that they don’t care!

Fletcher, at the Sphinx Club din ner in New York, told an advertising story. “A man,” he said, “entered a shop one bitter cold day and bought a woolen muffler. When he opened the muffler, he found Inside it the photograph of a beautiful girl, together with a note say ing: “ ‘If you are single, please write to me.’ “A name and address followed, and the man smiled. He was single, and he put the photograph on his sitting room mantel. There, every evening. looking up from his book, he beheld it. It was very beautiful, and in a week he had fallen head over heels in love. “So lie wrote to the girl. Another week passed, a week of anxious, nerve- racking suspense. Then the lovesick man received this crushing letter: “ ‘Sir: The Mary Smith to whom you wrote was my grandmother. She died nine years ago, aged eighty-six.— Yours truly.’ “Our heart-broken hachelor. on look ing into this strange matter, round that he had foolishly bought the muffler from a dealer who didn’t advertise.” And when Cassidy had declared an entire understanding of the directions , given, he concluded concisely. “On your way, then!" He Turned to Gilder. As the men left the room, he turned again to Gilder. "Just one thing more," he said. “I’ll have to have your help a little longer. After I’ve gone, I want you to stay up for a half hour anyhow', with the lights burning. Do you see? I want to be sure to give the Turner woman time to get here while that gang Is at work. Your keeping on the lights will hold them back, for they won’t come In till the house is dark, so, in half an hour you can get off the job, switch off the lights and go to bed and stay there—Just as I told you before." Then Inspector Burke, having In mind the great distress of the man over the unfortunate entanglement of his son, was at pains to offer a reassuring word. “Don’t worry about the boy," he said, with grave kindliness. "We’ll get him out of this scrape all right." And with the assertion he bustled out, leaving the unhappy father to miser able forebodings. CHAPTER XVII. Outside the Law. G ILDER scnmulously followed the directions of the Police In spector. Uneasily, he had re mained in the library until the al lotted time was elapsed. He fidgeted from place to place, his mind heavy with distress under the shadow that threatened to blight the life of his cherished son. Finally, with a sense of relief he put out the lights and went to his chamber. But he did not follow the further directions given him, for he was not minded to go to bed. In stead, he drew the curtains closely to make sure that no gleam of light could pass them, and then sat with a cigar between his lips, which he did not smoke, though from time to time he was at pains to light it. His thoughts were most with his son. and ever as he thought of Dick, his fury waxed against the woman who had enmeshed the boy in her plotting for vengeance on himself. And into his thoughts now crept a doubt, one that alarmed his sense of Justice. It occurred to him that this woman could not have thus nourish ed a plan for retribution through the years unless, indeed, she had been insane, even as he claimed—or inno cent! The Idea was appalling. He could not bear to admit the pos sibility of having been the Involun tary infiicter of such wrong as to send the girl to prison for an offense she had not committed. He rejected the suggestion, but it persisted. He knew the clean, wholesome nature of his son. It seemed to him incredible that the boy could have thus given his heart to one altogether undeserving. A horrible suspicion that he had misjudged Mary Turner crept into his brain, and would not out. He fought It with all the strength of him, and that was much, but ever it abode there. He turned for comfort to the things Burke had said. The woman was a crook, and there was an end to Blamed the Farming.
