"You will?" Dick was like most peo

When they get that "consummation de

Kitty spoke with a feeling of breath

"I can’t stand It here! I’ll be sorry,

Somehow now that the moment had

every effort had been tending for the
past month, there was Just a simple
of-courseness about It all It seemed
the obvious thing to do. Emotion was a
quality from which Kitty felt for a mo

emotion she had been feeling from that
moment long weeks ago when Dick Tj»-
Roy had come back from his "big

when Charles Nelson, the Samson whom

And Her Folks
By FRANCES L. OARS IDE.
M RR. LYSANDER JOHN AP
PLETON put down her news
paper with a look of deep con
cern. As a member of the Sisterhood
of Struggling 1 Women ihe felt that
some incentive to struggle had beei,
left out of her life.
The account of the meeting of the
Sisterhood of Struggling Women told
much of the brutality of man. Dele
gate after delegate bore wltnes# to
the habits of husbands of demand
ing that their wives acoount for
every cent they spent. Mrs. Lysander
John had never been held to account,
and, overwhelmed with the passion
for martyrdom which Is now engulf
ing her sex, she felt that she had
been wronged.
“He hasn't asked it," she thought,
"but I know that he Is wondering
what I did with the ten dollars lie
gave me yesterday. I will put my
self within the pale of martyrdom
and suffer with my sisters by giving
him a detailed account hereafter of
every cent I spend. "When it oomen
to suffering for the Cause, I will
never have it said of me that I
shirked my shark."
That evening, when Lysander John
had retired behind his newspaper and
was settling to his own satisfaction
the Mexican problem, his wife began:
"You gave me $10 yesterday.”
Lysander John looked over his pa
per, nodded, and went back to Huerta,
Hearing his wife’s voice again, ha
absent-mindedly began to fumble in
the pocket where he kept his cash.
“I aim prepared," he heard his wlfa
say, "to account for every cent I hava
spent of it.”
Lysander John was deciding that if
he were Wilson he would let the
Mexicans fight it out, and was Inter
rupted in the soothing thoughts of
how Lysander John Appleton, Presi
dent of the United States, had, by his
masterly brain, restored peace to our
warring neighbor by the following
monologue:
“Ice man. 10 cents: 35 cents for
milk; $1.75 for having your suit
pressed; 15 cents, starch; 5 cent?,
bluing; 33 cents, meat; 2 cents, soup
bone; 11 cents, silk twist; 11 cents,
ditto; 11 cents, rflitto; 5 cents, tape: 4
I cents, buttons; 16 cents, whalebone;
16 cents, ditto; 10 cents, thread; 10
cents, ditto; 10 cents, ditto; 10 cents,
ditto; 12 cents, hooks and eyes; 13
cents, ditto; 12 cents, ditto; 12 cents,
ditto; 12 cents, dit •"
But she read no more, for Lysander
John, reaching across the table, tore
the list from her hand and stamped it
on the floor.
“For heaven’s sake," he cried, "why
tell me all that? "What do I care hew
you spend it, just so yon let me
alone? Here is another ten. For the
sake of Mike go and spend all of It
on dittoes if you like, but keep still
about it!"
"If the men." he grumbled to him
self a little later when alone in his
den. "had to listen to the account of
how their wives spend every penny,
there wouldn’t be insano asylums to
hold them."
But somehow Mrs. Lysander John
was not satisfied. Those who long to
suffer martyrdom seldom are.

"Don’t wonder! Sure you’d been stuck

Kitty pondered on aloud putting Into
words some of her own possibilities for
finer womanhood—the fineness she and

womanhood whose only revenge was a

the deep gloom of the night. And to
the man on guard outside he called:
".Sergeant, keep everyone away from
that window."
Now was Larry Holbrook's chance.
Intermittent flashes of light showed
that Dempster wan making a careful
search outside the house. Holbrook
determined to make as careful a search
of the room. Keeping a wary eye
on Donnell, who was sturdily stand
ing guard at the window, he searched
rapidly about the desk and Its vicinity.
There were papers which ho must not
allow to rustle ever so slightly—there
was that pitiful little roll of treasury
bills, letters, typed briefs, but no clew
A little moan of impatience and fear
threatened to burst from his heart and
wing its betraying path across bis lips.
Holbrook's eyes flashed and his lips
tightened. He straightened up. alert
and business-like, and surveyed the
whole room hurriedly then he paused
In front of the desk -something arrested
hls attention -something was striving
to penetrate hls consciousness
He suddenly became aware of Flagg's
clenched left hand -there was somethin*
sinister and intent In that clutching
white fist the tense hand of the dead
man seemed alive with awful meaning
Holbrook darted one quick look at
Donnell. Then he caught those cold

said the captain with an easy little
laugh.
Donnell turned again to hls guard
duty at the window. He was quite
intent on keeping out any intruder who
might come near enough to threaten
the case of the State versus the mur
derer of Judson Flagg.
Holbrook venturd a little exhalation.
He had fairly been holding his breath,
lie wanted to shout and exult, but he
controlled himself. lie gave one wry
glance at the emerald brooch, put that
dangerous bit of evidence in the pocket
of his dinner coat, shut Flagg's Angers
hack into their gripping position and
then carefully wiped off hls hands on
the black cloth of his suit. Even in the
big moments of life the prejudices of
our own youth and the youth of our
race remain. Holbrook had not fan

he wiped oft the feeling of that contact
and the memory ot those clammy fingers

he said was an Indifferent "Yes.’’
With a bit of a challenge in his voice,
the Chief waved his hand around the
room and smiled "Ami now. my lad,
let’s see some of that fine work they
say you used to do In Man.lla."

"They were stringln’ you. Chief," said i
Holbrook, tilting back on hls heels and '
smiling with the bland innocence of a

"Was that window up when you got

bus-iu sslike tone. He would show this
young Captain some fine work of hls

Dempster began to examine the floor,
slowly working toward the window —
clutch of the dead man did not relax.
Judson Flagg seemed to have carried
with him beyond the grave the power
to hold what he desired—to demand
his price. Donnell coughed. Holbrook
quickly dropped that resisting dead hand
and began Angering the roll of bills
with a show of interest. There was
quiet again. And again Holbrook took
that clammy dead hand In his. He
pried at the Angers with grim determi
nation. They yielded their secret.
Holbrook clutched dizzily at the desk
—he felt he must have some support In
this moment of agonizing revelation. Be

tortured lips.

smiles and sighs, the tender wistful

straight, heavy brows that had a way

man’s hands.
The lips were fixed in determination
now Larry Holbrook would fight. The
brows were set In straight lines of
strength and beneath their battlements
his eyes were half closed. They wore j
the expression they had learned to take i
when he searched for places for ari j
enemy hid behind the cactus or the |
mesa or the shifting dimes of treacher- j

Back of those eyes plan and deter- |

love or chivalry that spurred him now?
The tin box Flagg had not found
time to lock in his safe caught Hol

picked it up and tried in deft silence to
open it—ami then Donnell’s voice star
tied him:
"How many times have 1 got to tell

The voice rang out in the grim still
