TheH eart Breaker
By Virginia Terhune Van De
Water,
CHAPTER XIIL
ATER, as Hono a was chatting
I with her hostess, Mildred came
up to her and, #fter talking for
& minute, addressed her sister, in &
low voice. |
“let me see your card,” she dc-‘
manded. |
When she had scanned fit, she
laughed teasingly.
“What's the matter?” Honora
Queried.
“Oh, nothing.” Then as Mrs. Den
ton turned away to greet a new ar
rival, Mildred explained.
“l was only amused,” she sald, “to
see that you yourself had done tho‘
very thing that you reproved me for
doing. You have let Arthur write his
pame as often as he wished—which
was just what I had told him he
might do with me—and you were
shocked at the idea.”
“The cases are entirely different,”
Honora protested. “l did not tell the
same thing to two men—nor to one
man, for that matter. When Arthur
found that Tom Chandler had got
ten ahead of him, he asked for some
dances with me. So 0,” with a whimsi
:lvlmu.. “l was not first choice arur|
Mildred patted her arm affection
ately. “If he had not wanted to dance |
with you so many times, he would not’
have asked you to let him do so,’ she
commented,
The child meant the words kindly,
Honora reflecetd later as she and
Arthur danced together. Yet her sym
pathy had awakened a train of un
pleasant thoughts.
Nobody likes to be pitied—least of
all a provd girl or woman. Honora
felt that Mildred was a little so.ry
for her .and was trying to console her
by assurances that Arthur Bruce
found her attractive. She did, not
want to be consoled, she mused bit
terly. She was not an object of pity!
A number of other men besides Ar
thur Bruce had sought her out this
evening.
Even Tom Chandler had begged to
be allowed to put his name on her
eard. She had let him do so. She did
not trust the fellow, nor care for him
~but one must be polite to him,
Her card was fu!l by the time she
had been in the room a half hour. Yet
Mildred Pitied her. She sighed impa
tiently, and Arthur, catching the
sound, looked down at her.
A Steady Cavalier.
“Are you tired?" he asked.
“A little,” she sald. “Suppose we
#it out the rest of this dance.”
He led her to a cha'r in the library
and went away tc get her a glass of
water.
Durm’ his absence she reproached
g-rulf 'or her feeling of resentment.
et it was hard to forget that she

ahead of Tom Chandler--she, Honora
Brent, would have had verhaps one
dance with him instead of the half
dozen for which he had asked. In
vulgar parlance she was taking her
sister's left-overs!
Arthur's volce made her start. He
was standing in front of her, a glass
in his hand. \
“Here's your drink, Honora,” he
sald. '
“Thank you'!” She drank the water
thirstily, “It is deliciously cold,” she
added.
He met the glass on the table near
him, and seated himself at her side.
“It's mighty good of you to let me
be with you so much this evening”
he sald. “Do you know what I was
Just wondering?”’
“What 7
“1 was wondering if you were a bit
bored by me—l mean if that was the
reason why you sighed when we were
dancing just now. If so, please say
sO.”
His humility touched ber, and she
spoke Impulsively.
The Waltz Begins.
*1 ean not imagine your boring any -
one. 1 mean—with a laugh—"you
could never bore me. We have been
triends for many years, and I still Hke
to talk with you."”
Her tone was light, and she avolded
meeting his eyes,
“Thank you!” he sald gratefully
laying his hand on hers for an in
stant. “It's good to hear you say
‘that. 8o many things are different

The Julla Howell Auxiliary 1o the
Home for Incurables held their annual
meeting Monday afternoon at the home
of the president, Miss Marjorie Brown,
on Peachtree street.
Plans were made for the Christmas |
tree and presents to be glven the Julla;
Howell ward at the Home. In this ward
there are five little incurable girls. ‘
It was decided that twenty dollars be
spent on the Christmag presents for the
incurable children. Ten dollars was given
by the members of the auxiliary to be
sent to France for Christmas presents
for the little French orphan, Abeline
Mourroy, who also is supported by the
auxillary. ‘
On account of the great war work that
has been holding the attention of lhe‘
public, the local charities have been for
{onen and any donations of linen, blan
ets, Christmas presents or clothes for
the little children at the Home will be
gutly appreciated by the members of
the auxiilary.

play a waltz, and Arthur got up,
“l asked Mrs. Denton for this
dance,” he said. “l am sorry-—but she
Is my hostess, so I must be prompt.”
“Go at once,” the girl commanded
“I am engaged for this dance anyway
~~with Tom Chandler.”
“If I meet him | will tell him where
sou are,” Arthur sald,
When he had left her she arose and
walked to the library doors opening
into the congervatory. She was won
dering where her partner was.
She was not to be in doubt for long.
A 8 her eyes became accustomed to
the dim light of the fragrant interior
‘whe discerned Tom Chandler and Mi)-
dred standing at the far end of the
‘alsle of plants, :
~ As she looked the man bent and
‘kissed the girl.
A moment later Tom Chandler ap
‘peared in the library where Honora
‘stood walting.
“Oh, here you are!”™ he cxclaimed,
selzing her by the arm. “Bruce told
me where to find you.”
“Yes, 1 am here,” Honora said
lamely. ‘
Ag they reached the dance room
and Tom passed his arm about her

His breath®was full in her face and

'Nights With Uncle Remus
A Conscript's Christmas—(Continued).
HE song finished, Danny Lemmons
waiked on down the road ahead of
ihe horde In the most unconcerned
manner. It was part of Captain Mose
ley's plan to stop at Mrs. Spurlock’'s
and Inquire for Israel. This mm:; to
be a part of Danny's plan also, sos he
turned out of the main road and went
ahead, followed by the captain. There
were quite a number of men at Mrs.
Spurlock’s when Moseley rode up, and
he noticed that all were armed. Some
were st‘nding listlessly about, leaning
against the trees, some were sitting in
various postures, and others were s&lut
ting around whittling; but all had their
‘funn within easy reach. Mrs, Bgufr
lock was walking about among them
#moking her pipe. By the strained and
‘awkward manner of the men as they
returned his salutation, or by some sub
)tle instinct he could not explain, Cap
tain Moseley knew that these men were
iwamn‘ for him, and that he was thelr‘
prisoner. The very atmosphere seemed
'to proclaim the fact. Under his very
leyn Danny I.emmons changed from a
‘.finnln‘ buffoon into a quiet, nu-con—‘
tained man trained to the habit of com
mand. Recognizing the sitaution, the;
lold soldier made the most of it by re
t;ln!nfi his good humor. J
“Well, boys,” he said, mnm; a leg
over the pommel of his saddle, “I hggo
you are not tired waiting for me.” o
men exchanged glancea in a curious,
shame-faced sort of way.
““No."” sald one; “we was thes a-set
tin’ here talkin’ 'bout ol' times. We
"lowed mazbe m‘d sorter_git tangled
up on the hill thar, and so Dann{ Lem
mons he harked back for to keep a’
eye on you.”
There was no disposition on the part
of this quiet group of men to be clam
erous or boastful. There was a certain
ahfnm in their attitude, as of men
- willing to apologize for what might seem
to be urmecessary rudeness.
“T'll tell you what,” gald Danny Lem
mons. “they ain’t a man on the mount
ing that's got a blessed thing agin {ou.
|ner agin the tother feller, an’ they
' hain’t a man anywheres aroun’ here
that's a-swine to pester you. We never
brung you whar you is; but now that
you're here we're a-gwine to whirl in
an’ ast you to stay over an’ také Christ
]mas wi’ us, sech ez we'll have. Lord.
. ves! a nice time we'll have, es I ain't
lrnrzot how to finger the fiddle-strings.
We're sorter in a quadary,” Danny
| Lemmons continued, observing Cag‘tain
Moseley toying nervous'y with the han
dle of his pistol. “We don't know
whether you're a-gwine to be worried
enough to start a row, or whether you're
a-gwine to work up trouble.
Meanwhile Danny had hmu%ht his long
rifle into a position where it could be
; vsed promptly and effectually. For an
| swer Moseley d'smounted from his
horse, unbuckled his (belt and flunf it
acro=s the saddle, and prepared to light
his pipe.
“Nom, then™ sald Danny Lemmons,
“thes make yourseir at home.'"
Nothing could have been friendler
than the attitude of the mountain men
nor freer than their talk. Captain Mose
ley learned that Danny Lemmons was
acting under the orders of Colonel Dick
Wateon, the virile paralytic: that he
and Chadwick were to be held prisoners
in the hope that Adiutant Lovejoy would
some in search of them—in which event

So Danny Lemmons said, and so it
turned out; for one dav while Moseley
and Chadwick were sitting on the sun
sunny side of Uncle Billy's house, listen-
Ing to the shrill, smrll;\g tones of Col
on:l Watson, they hea a shout from
the roadside, and behold, there was
Danny Lemmons with his little band
elcortlnfimbovejoy and a smal squad of
forlorn- kl:s militia. Lovejoy was
securely bound to his horse, and it may
well be lquoud that he did not cut an
imposing figure. Yet he was undaunt
ed. Has was captured, but not conquer
ed, His eyes never lost their boldness,
nor his tongue its bitterness. He was
‘almost a mateh for Colonel Watson
who raved at all things through the
tremulous and vindictive lips of disease.
'The colonel's temper was fitful, vut
‘Lovejoy'- seemed to burn steadily.
Moved by contempt rather than caution,
he was economical of his words, listen
ing to the shrill invective of the colonel
gatlontly. but with a curious flicker of
is thin lips that caused Danny Lem
mons to study him intently. It was Dan
ny who discovered that l.ovejoy’. eyes
never wandered in Polly’s direction, nor
settled on her, nor seemed to perceive
that she was in exisetnce, though she
was fllmnf about constantly on the
almless little errands that keep a con
sclentious housekeeper busy.
lovejoy was captured one morning
and Christmas fell the next and it was
& memoralle Christmas to all concerned
After breakfast Uncle Billy Powers pro
}duced his Bible and preached a little
sermon-—a sermon that was not the less
meaty and sincere, not the less wise
and powerful, because the English was
‘ungramatical and the rhetoric uncouth.
After it was over the old man cleared
his throat and remarked:
‘“‘Brethren. we're gatharea ners for to
praise the Lord an’ do His will. The
'quare times that’'s come on us has
brung us face to face with much that js
)unsaemly in life, an’ likely to fret the

the Almighty is with us, an' of us, an’
among us; an’, In accordance wi' the
commands delivered in this Book, we're
here to fortify two souls in the'r choice,
an’' to b’ar testimony to the Word that
makes lawful marrlai; a sacrament.”
With that, Uncle Billy, tumbllnT in
his coat pockets, produced a marriage
license, called Israel Spurlock and his
daufihter before him, and in simple
fashion pronounced the words that made
them man and wife.
The dinner that followed hard on the
wedding was to the soldiers, who had
been subslstlngl on the tough rations
furnished b¥ the Confederate commis
saries, by all odds the chief event of tha
day. To them the resources of the
Powers housenhold were wonderful in
deed. The shed-room, runninf the
whole length of the house and kitchen,
was utilized, and the dinner table, which
was much too small to accommodate the
guests, Invited and uninvited, was sup
g’l:mented by the Inventive genius of
ivate William Chadwick, who, in the
most unassuming manner, had taken
control of the whole affair. He proved
himself to be an invaluable ald, and his,
{ood humor gave a lightness and a zesi
0 the occasion that -would otherwise
have been sadly lacking.
Under his direction the tables were ar
ranged and the dinner set, and when
the politely impatient eomfmny wera
summoned the{ found awaiting them &
meal substantiali enough to remind
them of the old days of peace and pros
gerlty. It was a genuine Christmas
inner. In the center of the table thers
was a large bow! of egg-nog, and this
was flanked and surrounded I)y a hugo
dish full of apple dumplings, a tremen
dous chicken pie, barbecued shote, bur
becued mutton, a fat turkey, and all the
various postures, and others were squat
feast.
