The Heart Breaker
By Virginia Terhune Van De

CHAPTER XIIL |
ATER, as Hono.a was chatting
L with her hostess, Mildred came
up to her and, after talking for
» minute, addressed her sister, in I!
ow voice.
“Let me see your card,” she dd
nanded.
When she had scanned it, she
Rughed teasingly.
“What's the matter?" Honora
yueried.
*Ohsnothing.” Then as Mrs. Den
on turwed away to greet a new ar
dval, Mildred explained.
“] was only amused,” she sald, “to
see that you yourself had done the
very thing that you reproved me for
floing. You have let Arthur write his
pame as often as he wished-—which
was just what |1 had told him he
might do with me—-and you were
shocked at the idea”
“The cases are entirely different,”
Honora protested. "1 did not tell the
same thing to two men-—nor to one
man, for that matter. When Arthur
s found that Tom Chandler had got
ten ahead of him, he asked for some
dances with me. So,” with a whimsi
cal smile, “1 was not first cholce after
all"”
Mildred patted her arm affection
ately. “If he had not wanted to dun(‘el
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 proud girl or woman. Honora
felt that Mildred was a little sorry
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 eare for him
==but one must be polite to him,
Her card was full by the time she
hod been in the room a half hour. Yet

ti ntly, and Arthur, ecatching the

“Are you tired?” he asked.
“A little,” she sald. “Suppose we
Bit out the rest of this dance.”
“He led her to a chair in the library
and went away to get her a glass of
water,
During his absence she reproached
herself for her feeling of resentment.
Yet It was hard to forget that she

did not want—that, had Arthur been

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-overa!
Arthur's volce made her start. He
was standing In front of her, a glass
in his hand.

sald.
“Thank you!" She drank the water
thirstily. “It is deliciously cold,” she
added.
He set 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 said. “Do you know what 1 was

“What?" |

The Julla Howell Auxiliary to the
Home for Incurables held thelr annual
meeting Monday aftarnoon at the home
of the president, Miss Marjorie Brown,
on Peachiree street. 1
Plans were made for the Christmas
tree and presents to be given 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 ('hrlalmnadpresent- for the
fncurable children, Ten dollars was given
by the members of the auxiliary to be
gent to France for Christmas presents
for the little French orphan, Abeline
Mourroy, who also is supported by the
auxiliary. ;
On aceount of the great war work that
has been holding the attention of the
public, the local charities have been for

The orchestra in the hall began to
play a waltz, and Arthur got up,
“l asked Mrs, Denton for this
dance,” he said, *“I am sorry—but she
Is my hostess, o 1 must beé prompt.”
“Go at once,” the girl commanded
“I am engaged for this dance anyway
—with Tom Chandler.”
“If 1 meet him [ 1-111 tell him where
sou are,” Arthur sald.
When he had left her she arose and
walked to the library doors opening
into the conservatory. She was won
dering where her partner was,
She was not to be in doubt for long.
As her eyes became accustomed to
the dim light of the fragrant interior
whe discerned Tom Chandler and Mil
dred standing at the far end of the
alsle of plants.
As she looked the man bent and
kiseed the girl. |
A moment later Tom Chandler ap
peared in the library where Honoru;
stood waiting, |
“Oh, here you are!” he oxclalmed,
gelzing her by the arm. ‘“Bruce told |
me where to find you.”
“Yes, 1 am here,”” Honora nldl
lamely,
As they reached the dance room
and Tom passed his arm about her
for the waltz, Honora shivered slight
ly.
His breath was full in her face and
told her all toe plainly that he had
been drinking.

Nights With Uncle Rerus
A Conscript's Christmas—(Continued).
HE song finished, Danny Lemmons
waiked on down the road ahead of
the horse 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 seemed to
be a part of Danny's plan also, for he
turned out of the maim 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 standing listléssly about, leaning
against the trees, some were sitting in
various postures, and others were squt
ting around whittling; but all had their
funs within easy reach. Mrs. Spur
ock was walking about among them
smoking 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
waiting for him, and that he was their
prisoner. The very atmosphere seemed
to proclaim the fact. Under his very
eyes Danny Lemmons changed from a
grinning buffoon into a quiet, self-m
--tained man trained to the habit of com
|mand. Recognizing the sitaution, the
old soldier made the most of it by re
taining his good humor.
“Well, boys,” he said, fllnffinl a leg
over the pommel of his saddle, “1 hnße
you are not tired waiting for me.” The
men exchanged glances in a curious,
shame-faced sort of way.
“No.” said one; "“we was thes a-set
tin' here talkin' 'bout ol’ times. We
'lowed maybe you'd sorter git tangled
up on the hill thar, and so Danny 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
shyness in their attitude, as of men
willing to apologize for what might seem
to be unnecessary rudeness. ‘
“T'll tell you what,” said Danny Lem
moneg. “they ain’'t a man on the mount
ing that's got a blessed thing agin you,
Iner agin the tother feller, an’ they
hain't a man anywheres aroun’ here
l that's a-ewine 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’ take Christ-
Imaa wi’ us, sech ez we'll have. Lord
i ves! a nice time we'll have, es T ain't
(f'rvr;mt how to finger the fiddle-strings.
We're sorter in a quadary,’ Danny
i Lemmons continued, observing Captain
| Moseley toying nervously with the han
dle of his pistol. “We don't know
whether youtre a-gwine to be worried
enough to start a row, or whether you're
a-gwine to work up trouble.
Meanwhile Danny had brought his long
i rifle into a position where it could be
! used promptly and effectuallv. For an
gswer Moseley alsmounted from his
horse, unbuckled his belt and flung it
across the saddle, and prepared to light
his pipe.
“Nom, then” gald Danny Lemmons,
“thes make yourseir at home."”
Nothing could have been friendlier
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
| Watson, the virile paralytic: that he
and Chadwick were to be held prisoners
in the hope that Adjutant Lovejoy would
some in search of them—in which event

turned out; for one dav while Moseley

sunny side of Uncle Billy's house, listen-
Ing to the shrill, anarnng tones of Col
onel Watson, they heard a shout from
the roadside, and’ behold, there was
Danny Lemmons with his little band
escorting Lovejoy and a smal squad of
forlorn-looklng militia. Lovejoy was
securely bound to hig horse, and it may
well be sugpoaed that he did not cut an
imposing flgzure. Yet he was undaunt
ed. H=> was captured, but not conguer
ed, His eyes never lost their boldness,
nor his tongue its bitterness. He was
almost a match for Colonel Watson
who raved at all things through the
tremulous and vindictive lips of disease.
The colonel's temper was fitful, uut
Lovejoy’s 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
gauently. but with a curious flicker of
is thin lips that caused Danny Lem

was fllttlnf about constantly on the
aimless little errands that keep a con

and Christmas fell the next and it was

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 nere for to

By Joel
Chandler H-~rris
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 marriage a sacrament,”
With that, Uncle Billy, fumbling in
his coat pockets, produced a marriage
licenge, called Israel Spurlock and his
daughter 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 subgisting on the tough ¥rations
furnished by the Confederate commis
saries, by all odds the chief event of the
day. To them the resources of the
Powers household 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
lemented by the inventive genius of
’E’rivate William Chadwick, who, in the
most unassuming manner, had taken
control of the whole affair. He proved
himself to be an invaluable aid, and his
good humor gave 3 lightness and a zest
to th% occasion that would otherwise
have been sadly lacking.
Under his direction the tables were ar
{anged and the dinner set, and when
he politely Impatient company were
summoned they found awaiting them a
meal substantial enough to remind
them of the old days of peace and pros
perity. It was a genuine Christmas
dinner. In the center of the table there
was a large bowl of egg-nog, and this
was flanked and surrounded by a huge
dish full of apple dumplings, a tremen
dous chisen pie, barbecued shote, %t}l;-
hecued ' utton, a fat turkey, and all the
various postures, and others were squat«
