HER FATHER'S WORDS.
It was Martha's as night at home.
She had known of course that it would
be hard to -leave her father, even
though Aunt Ellen ivaS corning to
keep house for him, but she had Lever
realized just how it wauld be till the
time came. It was queer how difficult
It wes to talk; both were oddly silent.
Then the clock struck ten, and Martha
turned to her father.
al—I didn't know that it was, going
to be like this!" she cried. "I don't
feel a bit like a college girl, father.
I feel about five years old, and Lome -
"I feel as if the world were coming
to an end," her father replied. He
was smiling, but Martha saw with a
• pang that he looked old. "1 wish I
could say thing, dear, the things that
your mother would have said. I don't
know much about girls. Only I'm
Pretty sure of one thing You may
feel strange and lonely at •first—a:
little country girl among so many,
who have had all sorts of things; yet:
the real things of life are always the
same, no matter how the outward cir-
cumstances differ. Courage and hon-
esty and kindness are current every-
where. In the end, being sterling,
they must win the things of biggest'
value in life."
"That sounds like you, father! 1—
I'll try to remember," saidelVfartba.
College was different from aily:
thing that Martha had ever experi-
enced. In her high-echool class there
had 'beenninegirls; at co -liege she was
in a class of four hundred. Certain!
girls grere popular at once—athletic,
girls, girls with beauty, money or 'al
gift for leadership. Martha was only'
one of the unnoticed ones.
When the question of class dues
arose Claire,Jocelyn propose'd twenty -
Ave dollars, and Claire had enthusias-
. follevsers. Martha. began to calca-
ane arar. to aro-di
an that? Then something, caught her
attention—the dismayed eyes of a
eelainly dressed girl whose name she
did, not know. For a moment Martha
fought hard; she so Longed to be
among the girls who counted for
some -thing in the class. To have any-
one think that she was queer and per-
haps inean might spoil her chances.
Yet that girl's eyes!
Martha got suddenly to her feet.
"Madam Chairman," she said, "it
meems to me that the only fair way
is to have each girl write on a slip
Paper the sum that she can afford
to pay. It isn't easy to say it out
loud sometimes, but we could all write
it. Frain the ameunt on the slips we
eatild strike an average. 1 snake this
as a motion."
Martha's heart was beating hard as
ehe sat down. Then to her astonish-
ment her motion passed, and the dues
were finally put at ten dollars,
As they left the meeting half a
dozen girls stopped to thank her, and
suddenly Martha remembered her
father's words..
CRANBERRY GAMES.
Cranberries are as good in gatnes as
fee sauce, Be sure to use firm red
• berries for the following garne.s.
First a large glass of cranberries
ashow-n. Each child makes a guess
as to how many berries are in the
(pass. The one who guesses nearest
to the right number becomes leader
for the next game.
The children sit in a row with their'
• hands laid together in an upright po-i
sition On their laPs. The leader, with I;
a cranberry between her hands, which
are laid together just as these of the
other players, goes down the line slip-,

other children. Tntc One pair of hands ,

has finished she says "Cranberry, I
cranberry, who has the cranberry?"
The child who was farthest from the
eight count in the guessing game must
guess who has the berry.
For another jolly game line the
children up in two rows havieg equal
numbers in each. Give the first child
in each row a handful of cranberries.
At a given signal ea eli child passes
her cranberries to the next in line,

winner.
CLEANING GASOLINE.
Gasoline used in the dry cleaning
of garments at home is often thrown
away because of the dirt contained.
This can be removed and the gasoline
again purified for future cleaning in
a very simple nia.nner.
• For each gallon of gasoline to be
settled, dissolve two ounces of com-
mon washing powder in a half pint of
hot water. Stir this into the gaso-
line while still warm—be careful to
do this away from the fire, and pre-
ferably out -of- doors—and allow the
mixture to stand undisturbed for sev-
eral hours. Then, carefully pour the
gasoline into a second container, tak-
ing care not to disturb the water and
sediment at the bottom, and the re-
eoVered gasoline will serve for clean-
ing again.
• In order to prevent the water and
sediment from entering the second
container it will be necessary to sacri-
fice a small quantity of the gasoline,
but the movement of the water, when
pouring, can easily be detected and
no 'difficulty should be experienced in
keeping the fluids separated. Sal soda
dissolved in the same manner as the
washing powder also makes a good
settling solution. Either solution
should be thoroughly mixed with the
gasoline to obtain best .results.

CHAPTER. XX.—(Cont'd.)
"Paint a portrait?" echoed Mer-
rington. `Oh, my dear Ardington,
dont think I----"
"Oh, yes, you can,old chap. Any-
way, you must try."
"No, not a portrait, Ardington-1
thought I'd start on sornething
a landscape. I really don't think I
could face a sitter. I want to be alone
when I work—just at first Arding-
ton. I couldn't do myself justice with
a stranger looking at me all the time."
Ardington pulled forsva.fd a wicker
chair, seated himself by Merrington's
side, and began to fill his pipe.
"Sir Alexander Bradney called here
half an hour ago," he said. "You
know the man I mean, don't you?"
"Yes, the K.C."
Ardington was silent for a few
moments while he lit his pipe. It
• seemed as though he were waiting for
some gleam of light to come into the!
darkness of Merrington's memory.
"You know him," said Ardington
after a 'pause.
"Do 1? Not personally."
"Well, anyway, you know his wife,
Lady Bradney. You painted her por-
trait just before your accident. Sir
Alexander did not like it. He --I
think I ought to tell, you this, Mer-
rington—he called to see you the
night you left London to come down
here. He wanted to ask you if you'd
paint Lady Bradney again, and
though he wouldn't pay you for the
• picture he didn't like, he was willing
to pay you double for the next por-
trait, which amounts to the same
thing, doesn't it?"
"Yes, I suppose it does," said Mer-
rington dreamily; "bet really I don't
feel as if I could manage a portrait
just now, Ardington."
"Hadn't you better try, old chap?
You must make a start some time,
and the sooner the better, so Trehorn
says."
"Ah, he thinks I mighta-might re-
member if I painted this Lady Brad -

PATTERN POCICE`PS.
The most convenient place to keep
patterns is in pockets made for the
purpose and hung on the closet door
of the sewing ?QOM. Ude a piece of
cretonne Or ally desired material, a
little narrower than the door endgame,
enough to hold about four rows of
pockets. Make the packets wide
enough so that when held a little full
they will be about six inches wide;
they can be our or six inches long.
They May be bound all around and
then etitched on, or just bound at
the top.
Patterns for gancents for each,
member of tho family may be placed'
le separate pockets, or patterns of the I
same kind may be put together. The'
lower pockets are also very convert-
iont for bits of lace, trimminge, thread

"No, it's not that—not altogether
that, Merrington."
John Merrington Pressed his hands
to his face. "It's horrible," he said.
"This darkness—I—I ought to make
an effort, I suppose. Is Sir. Alex-
ander, Bradney still here?"
"No, he's gone down to South Bar-
ton. He has a cottage there."
"Shall I have to go to London --
back to my studio?"
No, no, old chap. Lady Bradney
will come here!'
"Not from London surely—day
after day?"
"No, she'll motor over from Serail
Barton. It's only about twenty miles
from here. Four hundred guineas,
old chap, and the work will do you all I
the good in the world." I
There was a long silence' and then
Ardington said, "I've sentfor your
paints, brushes, etc., and I've ordered
a canvas. You can have my studio.
I'm going to take a bit of a holiday,
now that I've finished the rood
screen."
"Lady Bradney?" said Merrington
slowly. "Lady Bradney? What is
her Christian name?"
"Ruth, I believe!'
Again Merrington was silent. He
was trying to remember the name, but
it conveyed nothing to him. The black
wall which' enclosed that part of his
life was too high and strong, He could
neither look over It nor break it down.

"Ruth Bradney," Ardington re-
peated after a pause. "Dark hair
and grey eyes—a very beautiful wo-
man."
", you have seen her?" queried
Merrington.
"Yes—once. But I have never
spoken to her."
"I'll think it over," said Merring-
ton. "I don't want to talk about it
any more jest now." -
"Well, Sir Alexander is coming
through here again to -morrow on his
way back to town, and he's going to
call on- me. Perhaps you would see
him),
"Oh, yes, Ardington---there would
be no harm in seeing Sir Alexander
Bradney.
Owing to a mistake on the part of
Ardington's new under -footman, Sir
Alexander Bradney' was shown
etxaight into the 'oeneekirig-room
where Merrington was alone. Mer-
rington, seated in a chair by the fire,
rose to his feet as he saw a stranger
advance through the doorway: He
had been half asleep, and at the first
sight of that sturdy figure with the
massive head he did not realize who
it was. Then the footman said, "Sir
Alexander, Bradney, sir," and Mer-
rington stiffened bowed slightly, and
said, '"Oh yes, Aedington told me. It
is most kind of you, Sir Alexander.
Sit down, won't you?" .
The footman touched two switches,
and the firelight gave place to the
bright glow of electric lamps. Then
he drew the blinds and the curtains,
and made up the fire. 1 -le moved slow-
ly, as though he were an old man. Sir
Alexander said something about the
weather, • and Merrington answered
him. Then Sir Alexander said ,some-
thing about the state of the roads,
and Merrington offered him a cigar.
It was not until the footman had left
the room that Sir Alexander asked
after Merrington's health.,
I'm quite well," Merrington
replied. Your friend has told you, of
course, about the first picture."
"Yes— I know, you didn't like it."
• "I did not. I behaved -abominably
about that, I'm afraid. I lost my
temper rand—well, I destroyed the
portrait."
Merringtpn smiled, "What was
-wrong with it, Sir Alexander?"
"Nothing, I suppose. I didn't like'
it, that's all. I'm no judge of art. My
wife liked it very much iedeedi I be-
haved like an ignorant fool. Now I
want you to paint another, Mr. Mer-
rington. I am willing to pay you five
hundred guineas for it.
"Ardington said fain' hundred."
"Did lie? Well, I meant five hun-
dred. You see, I paid you nothing for
the last one."
Merrington filled his- pipe and lit
the tobacco.
"If you don't like My Work," he
said, I wonder you
"Please forget what I said," B d
ney interrupted. "I only told you
because I wished to be quite frank
with you Mr Merrington.My wife
wants you to paiat another portrait
of her, and that is enOugh for me."
Meirington did not reply. Here i he
thought, is a inan who has quarrelled
with his wife about the first portrait,
and he wants to make it up with her.
"I ask you to do tide as a favor,"
Bradney continued.
Merrington gave in. It had sud-
denly been borne in upon him that if
he realised tTs commission he Iniiht
not get anot ee for so-heral mont
And therewanothing
stun to make a man work. And work
he nmet, hard arid steadily, if he were
to be saved froin, his own thoughts.
"I'll do it," be said gratefully, "and
it's most awfully kind of you, Sir
Alexander. I only hope that—that
the portrait will be worth the money."
"I thought I told yen to show Sir
Alexander Bradney into the drawing -
room when he arrived,"said Arding-
ton to, the under /ootinnii.
"Pm sorry, sir," the man replied.
"I Must have misunderstood your or-
ders, Sir Alexander asked for Mr.
Merrington, and I knew 'Mr. Merrieg-
ton was in the smoking -room, sir."
"Wel„ you'd better not misender-
stand me agein or you'll have to lools
out for ;moiler eituation. And please
ingleretand this, :Sir. Merrington is
an invalid, and he is to see no one,
Without my permission!"
I quite understand, sir, and I ask
You to be so good as to overlook it
this time."
Ardingtoe .terned on 'his heel and
left the footman standing in the hall
Detective -Sergeant Peters smiled in-
sverdly, but eat a muscle of his face
betrayed his thoughts.
"Why is Mr. Ardington so angry?'
he said to himself," and why is Sir
Alexander Bradney so anxious foi
Mr. Merrington to paint his wife'e
portrait?" ' •
He had left the window open -when
he bad drawn the curtains and he
had overheard most of the coaversa-
tion between Bradley and Merrington.
But as yet he did not know the ans-
wers to the questions he had asked
himself. Perhaps he would never
know. It was his duty to report to
his superior officers and leave the so-
lution of problems to othere.
CHAPTER XXL
Ruth Bradney was again at South
Barton. It was not so much • the
warmth of that glorious spring that
had tempted her to leave London as
a desire to place herself beyond the
reach of danger, or at any rate be-
yond the reach of Lady Anne and
Bob Garwick. It was indeed the late
ter young'gentlernan who had finally
driven her to the peace and loneliness
of Smith Barton. The GarWicks and
Lady Anne had been asked to dinner,
and she felt that she could not face
them. She had pleaded illness and
had fled, like a coward, into -the cotin-

On this Saturday morning it was
almost as warin as summer. She had
pulled a chair out on to the verandah
and, she sat there -in Vie sunshine,
without hat, or even eb. nruch as a
wrap round her shoulders. There
was not a breath of wind and the sea
was a calm as the cloudless sky. To
the left of her she could see the wood-
ed cliffs of Folkestone, and to her
right the edge of the Romney Marsh
stretched opt in a vast curve to the
beaches f- Dungeness.
And it seemed to her that here, in
this quiet spot, was the only place
-where she could find rest—where she
could get away from those terrible
pursuers—creations possibly of her
own imagination, but real enough to
strike terror into her heart. Fletcher,
Lady Anne, "Bob" Garwick—she saw
them all as puppets, and her husband
as the man who pulled the strings.
But here, in the sunlight, they
seemed to be very far away from her.
Somehow or other, when she was out
of London, she was no longer afraid.
Her husband was coming down that
morning—he might arrive at any
minute. He had come down in the!
middle of the week for a night 'and
the best part of the next day. But
she was not afraid of her husband
when, he was at South Barton, and
while hewas there she laughed at
her own fancies.
,And when, later on in the morning
she heard the sound of liis car she
was still not afraid. He came out on
to 'the veranda and kissed her and
said something about the weather and
the. jolly week -end they'd have.
And then, after a few minutes of
this sort of talk, he said, very abrupt-
ly, "Merrington is much better. He
would like to paint, another portrait
of you, if you'd sit for him.
