"As District Attorney I take your word. Captain Holbrook,” said Gordon Graham at last, and he little guessed how he was -ervlng his daughter at that particular moment. “Thank you," said the man cm parole, quietly. "Come. Chief,” said Graham. "Both knobs, gentlemen,” said Hol brook. as they tried the d»x>r. “It’s a spring look, remember That's It. Good-night " He stoivi quite still on his hearth stone for a moment, listening to make sure of retreating footsteps. "The Lord be praised!” ejaculated Father' Shannon piously “Yes. praise Him. by ail means—but not too loudly—those walnut doors may have ears.” Holbrook listened for a final second and then opened the door that led to his own rooms. “Aline my dear.” he called "Safe?” called the girl, in exquisite tellef ‘“Yes I’m on parole.” "You both look very serious—what was it?” asked the girl, in surprise Alines Oath. When a woman finds that the enemy has been forced to retreat she thinks the victory has been won. It is men who are trained In battle-—and who know' that retreat mav mask an am buscade a sortie and that first honors do not decide the conflict. "It is serious you don’t know how serious,” said the Captain, In a tone to match his words then seeing the mask of fear draw over the girl’s brightened face, he determined to bring a moment of relief again "Surely It is serious why, nayther of us dares to drink a drop of the whisky!” he laughed The girl smiled wanly. Now listen, Aline, my dear SWEAR T< * ME THAT YOC WIRE REFUSE T‘• TALiK OF ANYTHING THAT’S HAPPENED TO-NIGHT UNLESS I AM WITH YOU." "To whom mustn’t 1 talk?" "To any one—even to Father Shan non ” When the man who love# her gives a woman his first command, and she obeys, she answers him as well as If site cried aloud, "1 love you For when an Independent human soul takes orders from another and there Is no re lationship of fem of master to man then the great ruling power that im pels obedience Is la»ve Aline raised her eyes to the face of the man to whom she bad given her heart, hut to whom she could not give he rself. “I promise.’’ "But take your oath 'So help you God!’ ” ‘ You doubt her truth?” asked the Father, gravely. "No. rather, hut I want her to he able to say that she Is under a vow of silence.” Aline’s eyes had not left her captain's face. There was a thrill of underlying 1oy In being directed by him In her hour of great peril. ‘“I swear I swear!” she said, in a tone that was a sacred promise “And now good-night.’ The man’s voice deepened to the tone of life's ten- derest music- an unselfish. protecting love "Remember, that I love you. Good-night, father, and remember that you are taking with you the dearest thing in all the world to me.” The Police Return. "Good-night, my lad.” "Good-night, and God bless you for a true friend Good-night, my lady. Holbrook's hand was on the spring lock a moment more and he would have lifted It to open the door for his honored guests—but there waa the thundering knock of authority on the panels. “Hello,’’ called the Captain. The fa ther led the terrified girl back to the door behind which she had once before hidden. “Captain,” called the voice of Chief Dempster. The, enemy had made a sortie. "Come In,” cried l^rry easily, wait Ing for Father Shannon to regain his position. "Oh, wait a minute excuse me- I’m always forgettin' that spring lock.” He opened the door. Chief Dempster and Robert Graham re-entered his oral. Their faces were cold and atern. "Did ye forget something?” queried dauntless Larry, with an assumption of ease he was far from feeling. "There is a taxi waiting below.’ said Dempster, sternly and accusingly, to Father Shannon. "Yes.” "For you. the chauffeur says.' "Yea but you’re welconu to it. A smile brushed across the Captain * face what an apt pupil In the art of finesse was his friend the priest! "You came in it, James, the man told me so ” This was man t" man -and Father Shannon was only ".lames’ to the chief now. ”J did.” "I’ll phone for another—sit down, all of you,” said the Captain, as if suddenly reminded of his duties as a host Chief Dempster chose to ignore this. "The man says, with a woman. "The chauffeur says that?" The fa ther would do his best for the lad and lass he loved but the church could not take upon itself the black siri of an out right lie-and the father felt helpless in the net now. "Yes—the chauffeur says that! Holbrook had crossed over to his great | Russian chair - he was leaning .forward across its back, now quite relaxed per fectly at ease or, so be must look t<» any observer but in the second when the other man had been observing Fa ther Shannon and not Captain Hol brook. a sly, thoughtful expression had crossed his face that was now »<> bland and childlike in its engaging honesty. There were still a few cards left In his pack he would play them one at a time for his queen. "What’s the v. v* of further deception. Mr. Graham!” exclaimed Holbrook In a tone of determination to confess a mat ter and get it over with. The three men turned to him with as tonishment In various terms writ large on their faces What would he tell? How far was he prepared to go? "Well?” queried Graham, impatiently. “That hem about my engagement to your daughter was inserted by the so ciety editress a ’lady,’ as you’ve just said, chief she says ’twas Flagg lhe dead man ’round the corner that told her my call on the man relates! to that —” All the kisses that all the vagabonds of all the ages have put on the "War ney stone" lifted Captain Holbrook’s lips in a smile of engaging candor and in h simple little tone of emphasis he told the truth as best calculated to de ceive. "1 won’t say that any lady came here with Father Shannon and I won’t say she didn’t. But I do sav that If that lady WAS with film she left before you c#me. and that she’s sorry enough for her part in the matter." To Be Continued To-morrow. For the woman who finds fur beyond her means, we suggest the use of os trich combined with velvet —or of the ever-useful and warm marabou. The gown shown on the left is of blue satin with belt and surplice fold* of brown velvet. Vanila brown velvet forms the centre of the scarf— and the ostrich or marabou should be of the same tone. On the muff are three hands of the velvet—and four of the feather trim ming. Bows of satin in rosette form finish the outer bands of the velvet—and long ends of the ostrich fall from them.

"There was two gents in here this morning to have their nails did, and both of them was wise, only tn different ways The first gent that came in was a middle-aged fellow from a small town. He told me frank enough that he didn't have the habit of getting manicured, and he said the only reason he came in was because he had three or four hangnails and had heard somewhere that a mani cure could fix hangnail* fine. He was awful nice and gentlemanly to me, and told me that he liked It In the small town better than in the city He said that he was a merchant in the small town and was doing s< well that he wouldn't care to move into a city where everything waa new and strange. He wasn’t dressed very swell, aa far as style goes, and he didn't have no flip talk, but I could see that he had lots of brains, and 1 knew he was a man." "I noticed him when he went ost,' • aid the Head Barber "He dldn'i give you no tip. though ” "1 didn't a ant no tip from him," declared the Manicure l^ady. "Lot the fresh guys tip me. as long they have the habit. He probably never lived where folks give tips, or he would have tipped me as ltbwnol as anybody. And now I want to tel you about the other kind of a wise guy that was In. "This young fellow tells me before he is in the chair a minute that he Is a wise fish.

'Maybe I might have let one go over my head once, but if 1 eve did I must have been when 1 Just got up and was rubbing my eyes,' he says. He pulled three of the latest stag* jokes, gave me a imitation of himself Imitating George Cohan, and pulled a lot of flush con vernation, all during the time I was hurrying madly to get his nails did and get him out of the shop.

O CT. 81.—The spirit of Hallow e’en took posseeslon of my pretty nurse and of me at ex actly the same hour last evening, and after we had seen Richards pilot ing Manette safely off to bed, we put on coat and cloak and hats and started out. It was 10 o’clock when we left the house, and it is now 2 in the morning, and I am so wide awake there is no use going to bed. She wore a scarlet coat, and Dy “she” I mean my pretty oompanion, and I did not know until to-night what it means to be a woman and for one brief evening kick all the con ventions off at one’a heels. This sounds mixed—scarlet coat and the conventions, but I claim that the color of the coat was to blame No woman oan wear bright scarlet and feel entirely sedate in her soul. We have been to all the dance halls and all the cabarets; we did an im promptu song and dance ourselves at one restaurant, and fled before the tumult of applause. I caught a taxi cab and we rode for an hour after that to get baok our breaths. I know now what I can do for a living when my business goes to smash— buy a hand organ of an Italian, as I did to-night and get my pretty nurse to do a dance In front of it, and then pass around the hat. There were three or four hundred dollars in her hat when we fled, leaving the hand organ behind us, which a very peni tent young woman will carry to-mor row to some charity. The money, I mean, not the hand organ. She will be penitent. I know her sex so well. We did nothing very wrong beyond the injury to our di gestions, but a good woman likes to exaggerate her sins, and my nurse will go around for a week looking as If she had murdered some one. It must be very inconvenient to be a woman. THE COAT TO BLAME. But the scarlet coat was entirely to blame. I have felt like anything but a Methodist prayer meeting every time 1 have seen her put it on, and If she will persist in wearing it there Is no telling what will happen. When she wears those golden brown* and delicate grays Richards selected for her her eyes take on the expression of a saint, and every hair on her head seeks its place and stays in It But that scarlet coat puts a devil try in her eyes that isn’t at all sooth ing, and there comes a flush in her cheeks to match It, and her hair flies around her face in little wayward curls that make a man long to push each curl back in place. It is all right for a girl the age of Manette to wear a scarlet coat, but I shall re buke the nurse for appearing in such a defiant color. The sight of her isn’t good for me. November 8.—It is Just as I pre dicted. I have laughed many times over the memory of Halloween, but the nurse never smiles. “It is all right for a man to forget himself, and laugh about it after ward," she exclaimed this morning, "but being a woman Is different. Whenever I think that I—I, who was brought up so strictly—got up on the platform in that dance hall, and danced the tango, and sang—why, I am overcome with shame. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for getting me into it!” "It wasn’t me,” T retorted. "It was the scarlet coat you were wearing." I saw her later in the day start to put it on when getting ready for a walk and then look at it dubiously. Then she ran upstairs and came down wearing all black! We were sitting in the library this evening, and I had Manette on my lap, telling her a story, when Tomp kins called me to the telephone. ONE SIDE. If you had ears.

He was a shy young man, but in his heart there raged a consuming passion for the fair Florence. On his way home from the city he managed to screw' his courage up sufficiently to enter a jeweler’s .shop and pur chase a small gift for the lady of his heart. This, he hoped, would pave the way to the popping of the great kuestion. That night he called at her house and found her alone. Producing a small, square box from his pocket, he said, nervously: “I have ventured to bring you a small present. Miss Finn, but I am afraid that perhaps it will not fit your finger. Will you try it on?” ”Oh, dear,” said the girl, blushing most becomingly, “this is quite un expected! Why, I never dreamed that you really cared enough ” Poor fool! Instead of grasping the opportunity in both hands, he opened the box and produced a thimble! Then the thermometer dropped about ten degrees. Her Brother’s Voice.
