On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange premon- ition, that maybe love doe, change, a thought buried in her mind by a letter from her closest friend, Bar- baro, the night before, Pauline 'a- dored Barbara, who had been mar- ried,, was the mother of a child which died, but now divorced and living a life which some of her friends could not understand. Be- tween Dentis and Barbara is' a seeming wall of personal dislike by both. Six` Months after Pauline's wedding, Barbera anuses for a short stay. During this visit Barbara con- fesses to Pauline that there. is a man she reallyloves. but she refuses to tell his name, Barbar% decides sud- cienly to go home and Pauline insists Dennis delve her to the' station.0 Ir- ritated, Dennis drives recklessly, and they are in a crash. Barbara escapes iniury but Dennis' leg is broken.' As he returns to concsiousness he learns who the man sis, that Barbara loves. It's himself. Denel spends several weeks in the hospital. Barbara re - tarns to stay with Pauline, but cn one pretext or another fails to visit Dennis with Pauline at the hospital. Pauline plans highly for Dennis' re- turn home. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Pauline was only too ready to ob- ey. This headache fitted in nicely with her scheme of things. It seem- ed providential when, about half -past three, she peeped into Barbara's room and found her still fast asleep. 'She was all ready to meet Dennis ;-one of the doctors was bringing him home in his car, a man named Stornawaj+, with whom Dennis had stimck up a great friendship, It would be .so wonderful to have him at home again. Tho moments seemed 'to drag. Everything had stick. The little maid was greeting hint excitedly. "I do 'hope you're •better; 'sir. It'e nice to see you home, I'm sure." "Thanks." Barbara 'waited for him to; ask for Pauline: But he did not —he came across the hall unassisted, ' slowly and with some difficulty; then he saw her. Barbara went forward coolly. "Welcome home," she said. She gave him her hand. "Pauline will be dis- consolate. She .has just run out for a moment. Oughtn't you f'to sit down? There's a fire in the drawing room," "Thanks." Dennis's • voice! was rather grim, but he gave his coat to the maid and followed Barbara into the drawing room. When he was safely ensconced in the armchair he looked up at her. "You Caine off better than I did." he said. "Is that wrist a memento?" "Yes, but only a sprain." Baebare waved her bandaged wrist in the ail to show what little damage had been done. "Will yeti have tea,• 01 shall we wait for Pau'ine?" "How long will she be?" "Not long. I think she has gone to the shops for something they for- got to send." k "Why didn't you go with her?" "What do you mean?" "Only that as you refused so steadily to come and see me all these weeks I thought I should probably find you had run away." Barbara laughed lightly. "You would have done, if you had come tomorrow, as you originally intends ed."' "You did. not want to meet me " "Oh, no, I merely bad a previous engagement" Dennis's eyes darkened. Ho had fr:.

She sat back on her heels an looked at him with dancing eyes. "Aren't you glad to be home? Ise' it wonderful . Oh, Dennis, I could go mad with joy." "I shouldn't do that, if I were you," he said comically. He took her hand and pressed it. "Of course I'm glad to be -home. Stornaway brought me in his car. I asked him in, but he wouldn't come." "Wise man! I suppose he guessed we should like to be alone, as it's so long since you were here." Dennis dragged himself to his feet t f s e y m.. d t • "Confound my leg!

I wanted her to stay, but perhaps it's as well—I shall have you all to myself." 'She snatched his hand and kissed it. "Baby!" Dennis said, smiling. "And what about tea?" "It's coming now. I'll go and see." Pauline rushed away, anti Dennis limped ever to the window and lc;.k- eil out at the little garden. Very tidy and neat, very suburban he thought, and wondered why P. gone perfectly, the house looked a• picture, so Pauline thought with pride as she wandered about, unable to settle to anything. The Iittle maid came to her breath- Iessly. "Oh, please, madam, the fruit has- n't come for dinner, and We early closing day, What shall we do? Mistress and maid stared at each other aghast; then Pauline said firm- ly." "I'll go round to the shop myself. There's plenty of time before the master conies.' She went on her er- rand with cheerful readiness, almost running clown the garden path. It was the slamming of that gate that woke Barbara; she started up, conscious of having long overslept and glanced at the- clock beside her bed—half-past three! "Heavens! What waste of a life- time.", She bathed hurriedly, dressed and °went downstairs; her headache had not gone, and she felt a little heavy and depressed. The little Maid heard her in the hall and came from the kitchen. "Can I get you anything, madam? Mrs, O'Hara said I was to go up presently and see if you were a- wake." "I'll have some tea, please." Bar- bara 'was at the door of the drawing room. "Why, what lovely flowers!:' she said. "Are we expecting visi- tors?" The maid giggled. "The master, Madam! He's coining house! It was to be a surprise, and—oh, dear, I be- Neve there he is, and the mistress out! Oh, dean, what will she say, not .being here to meet him! We long before his time, too." She heard Dennis's voice and the pleasant voice of another man. "No, I won't come in, thanks. You've seen enough of me during the Inst month. Some other time. Don't overdo it, now—good-bye," A moment, and Dennis was in the hall He did sot look ill except that he was Walser and walkup with a thought about this woman more than . he cared to remember during the past tedious weeks, and he had looked forward to seeing her with a queer sort of pleasurable anticipation. Was it a dream that she had kissed him and implored him to speak to her? Looking at her now he was sure it must have been. But the memory of her lips on his was real ettouglt. Dennis looked at Barbara's lips, artificially reddened, and felt ash- amed, Thank God, Pauline never made her face up -no rouged cheeks and darkened eyes. Almost angrily he contrasted the two women.

"Why don't you call him Dennis?" Pauline asked. "Mr. O'Hara' seems so silly and formal." "Well, if he doesn't mind," `Bar- bara said with a charming smile. ".Delighted," Dennis mumbled. "No doughnuts for me," Barbara said. "I have to consider my figure." "Barbie! when you're as slim as a willow," Pauline protested. "Oh, cleat—what is it?" for the little maid had appeared at the door. "Very well, I'll come." She put clown her cup and left the room. "Domestic cares, you see!" she said archly to Dennis. There was a little silence when she had gone. Dennis spoke suddenly. "Are you really afraid that one doughnut will spoil your figure?" Barbara laughed. "Not one, but one might be the thin end of the wedge to other things that would." He frowned. "Such nonsense! You've got a beautiful figure."

Where these flourish and are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre. What Maintains I t ? The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts. But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the up- keep, of the institutions in such towns are in the hand of the busi- ness interests, together with those directly and indirectly connected therewith. Without the active business and professional ascii to supervise and govern these public institutions and undertakings no town could thrive. Who is Mainly Affected? Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned in see- ing to it that they do 'their part in carrying on any good cause which may be promoted, either by financial or active support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop as it should. In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part, It is Publicity is Required ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic and patirotic undertakings. But to function properly, and fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the financial support of .Hie community it serves.
