FIRST INSTALLMENT • Joyee, as she opened her eyes 'on that memorable morning, was equal- ly surprised at the warm, flower- scented air, at the luxuriops sleep- ing porch where she lay and at the diamond circlet on her wedding fin- ger. Was she married?. Was it sum- mer? Surely the fruit -laden orange trees she could see were not in Chi- cago --this silk -covered bed was not a hospital cot. Yet—the last thing she remembered was a skidding, taxicab en a sleeting November day in Chicago. And when a man came and sat on her bed and kissed her e'oodbye for a hurried bus°news trip, telling her to be careful after her fall from her horse the day before, her mystifica- tion was complete. So she was married. Lnter she discovered from her toil- et article that her initials are F. L. P 'sod that the house she lived in was rich—and beautiful.

For the moment, however, she was still too drowsy tc make any effort to move. A dull ache throbbed in her head. Her whole body felt heavy, weighed down by an insistent lassitude, Then ether sensations asserted themselves. Her fingers, moving languidly, sent to her drowsy brain the message of acme sort of cool silken material under their sensitive tips. She kept he eyes shut while she tried to think things out. She re- membered perfectly now..., She was in a taxi going to the Hotel Black- stone in Chicago. It was sleeting, and in the traffic another machine skidded suddenly and crashed into them. And then they had brought her— where? It didn't smell in the least like a hospital. And the bed was softer than nay cot she had ever felt. Suddenly she wan afraid to open her eyes. Competely awake now, she lay tingling with curiosity, filled at the same time with a foreboding of sense strange, frightening revelation to come. Where could she be? At last she could stanch the un- certainty no longer. Without mov ing she o-eneri her eyes and starer' straight ahead of her. Tier first look showed a el'setem' of Jorge o'- rne'es hanging like golden balms it the sunshine against a background of cicudless blue sky. Oranges! She had never seen or- anges actually growing. Still with nut Peeving she rolled her eyes from one side to the other. They travelled up to her hand% lying inert on the satin cover. Suddenly she became a- ware of three separate facts so start - ming in their significance that they set her heart to pumping and par- alysed ile). muscles. She could neve' tell which shack was the first to register; the circle of tiny diamonds en the third finger of her left handl the rumpled condi- tion of the other side of the bed; or the cheerful masculine whistle com- ing from srmewhere in the house close behind her A, hot wave flooded her face and neck. But gred:tally hem' heart quieted clown. She relaxed a trifle breathed deeply, and tried to bring her whirling brain back to normal. "It's the most incredible thing T ever .. , ever hearth!" she thought, desperately, fighting against a feel- ing of faintness. It must be e dream! . '.. I land in Chicago in No- meber on a dark, cold, snowy after. noon; get in a taxi and , .. some. thing bums into the taxi and • . • wake tip the next mosso?* -lie fin that it's summertime, and that . T'nr ... I'm married! Flow could it have happened? How—?" bed sent her pulses hammering. Cur- iosity and fear mingled in her feel- ings as she looked up. She was No frightened that it did not occur to her to pretend to be asleep. She saw a man of medium height thirtyish ... ruddy . blue eyes and blue tie ... tan face and tan suit , . . light brown hair, combed back smoothly . face rather wide across the'jaw , , . . short nose , , mouth cut in clean curves like a girl's Nothing villainous in the man's appearance. "Hello, honey! HoW do you :feel this morning?" He was smil- ing down at her with complete kind- ness. Joyce swallowed hard, unable to answer. Under the sheet she clen- ched her hands trying to still the trembling of her body. A worried look dimmed the smile on the man's face. He sat down on the side of the bed and leaned to- ward her, putting.his hands on her shoulders. "Why, what's the matter, dear? Head pretty bed? Oh. I say, did I hurt you? You poor kid!" He drew heel: a little. :levee had involuntarily flinched when his hand touched her. The thought Crashed into Joyce's rcnfused mind that if he feuded she were really ill, he might after all no' go away. And she must have time to recover from the shock and de- cide what to do. She must be left a- line, She would 'have to •speak, ev- erything depended on her making this effort. "Oh, I'm . I'm all right," she stammered hardly above a whisper. A leek of relief came into the face above her. "Whew, but you gave me a scare. Frills," he explained. "Sure you're all right? Doe's coming over today to take another look at you Better stay in bed and get a rest. I`. you're really all right, I've got to clash to the city to get my train far Chicago. But I won't go if you're not. You don't seem just right," "Oh, no, really, I'm alright," she said hastily. "I just have a head- ache. It'll be all right." "You're sure? . , . Good! ... Weml, gond-bye, honey. Take care cf your- self. You can always reach me at the Blackstone. you know. I'll ex- pect to 'hear from you." He leaned ever. took, her face be- tween his large firm hands end kis- sed her twice. Frills, I wish you'd go a little easy whin Tim away will you. I'll be worried about you a'1 the time if I think you're , . . smiling any more reckless stunts, yon' knme, And—." "Oh, ne, don't worry about me!" tnterrueted Joyce, wishing he would stun kissing her and °'o nwoy, "T won't do a thin?, I ... I know, I'm going to feel like being very quiet for ... fee awhile." Thins sort of answer wee evidently unexpected, Jovre decided. when eh - saw the surprise in his fa"o mingled with relief. In sneaking before his voice bad revealed a note of anpre- hensinn, as if he were Afraid of the wog his wade would be received. "Whet sort of disrnstion can I have had?" she wondered "Well, good-bye, honey" he swirl once more. "I've get to hon off. I'll wire today from somewhere along the line," The whistle seemed to come a lit- tle nearer. Joyce clutched at the bedclothes in a suddenly renewed panic of terror. If it were not a dream now, this instant, then evhat happened while she was uncotsious? Suddenly a telephone bell rang, The whistling stopped abruptly. She heard tine click of the receiver be- ing lifted . .. then "Yes?" in a deep. pleasant voice. She listened tensely. "Oh,' Laurine? Hello! .. She's still asleep. I think. No. Dec. says it's nothing, serious, but it sure was lucky it wasn't worse. Yes, you've absolutely right—"What?'... , Well, I asked het last month not to ride that brute, but you, know who she is I'm leaving in a few minutes . , Yes. Got to get to Chicago for conference. . , Come over sometime today and. see how she is, will you? 1 hate to go off'like this but I'm just going to have to make the date. We something I can't smdeseep, , ..Yeah Well, tell Paul to be a good boy while I'M away. So long taurine. See ,your all in about two -three weeks," Click. Steps across the floor. - The sound of steps approaching the chard in her life. The rows cf white- blossomed trees seemed to run out for miles and miles over a flat val- ley, like drift of snow across a huge plain. Along the farther hori- zon undulated a line • of strange; puckery, treeless hills against the sky. As her glance followed them to the. right she saw that beyond the law hills rose high mountains. She tamed reluctantly away from the view of the sunny garden and the open country and entered the house. She found a large bedroom with flowered cretonne curtains and cush- ticns . , . ivory -tinted silk under- clothes at the foot of the big smooth bed ... luxurious dressing table with a low seat in front of it ... a partly - glimpse into a closet full of clothes .. at the left a wide-open door into a spacious white tiled bathroom." Suddenly, as she stood motionless on the threshhold, feeling like an in- truder entering someone else's bed- room, she caught sight of a girl with short wavy hair, clad in a delectable mauve pyjama suit. With a gasp cf surprise she realized it was •her own image reflected in one of the two full length mirrors which flanked the dres- sing table! Well! ..." She moved hastily up close to the mirror and examined herself with interest. Fascinated, her face more closely and smiled at the image in the glass. "You reek really a whole lot ... prettier than you ever did in Philadelphia, I must admit! The bathroom was another exciting discovery. It was a large square room, elaborately tiled, with magnificently modern fittings ant' fixtures. Jure gasped with pleas- ure as she looked. Through the big open window at the left, the sun wax streaming in bringing with it that indescribably sweet odor which had greeted Joyce on her waking, Part of it must come from those acres of trees in bloom beyond the garden, part of it from the waxen blossoms of the orange Joyce lay and listened to his stens receeding inside the house. Then she ml"ew a long breath and sat up sud- denly. "So that's my . . . my .hus- band, He has a very nice voice, and T don't feel exactly afraid of him, 1 think he's got a—a kind, pleasant leek on his face. " Her thoughts paused in confusion What did it mean? Gradually, her sense of dizzy pan- ic gave way to puzzled curiosity. Ly- ing there in the sweet scented sun- shine her mind grew clearer and else tried, to fathom the situation unemo- tionally. But it was no ' use; the pieces didn't fit; she had nothing to goon.,.. Swinging her feet over the side :of the bed, else found a pair of high - heeled satin bedroom slippers which she put on, and then stood up and stretched cautiously. She felt some- what stiff and lame, aispecially al' down the side; shoulder, elbow and knee. "Ouch! That must be the 'Pole I fell on. To think that I always wanted to learn to ride horseback gee new I've done it and had a bad 'fall besides—and I don't know a thing a- bout it!" •She went over to the big window of the sleeping porch and stood' for a. tow moments in the warm srmnshine gazing out eagerly. Beneath her lay a terraced garden, full of a blaze,of flowers. A high hedge surrounded the garden, down one side of which grew a row of slender Italians err- reeees; stiff and dark and theatrical. locking. Beyond the hedge stretched a 'hue° orchard of fruit trees. Joyce stared down at it in amazement. She had never seen such an enormous or- Le spite of the mystery, in: spite of the complications she was about to, meet, it was impossible, after' a two -year-long diet of Mrs.Lowrie's boarding, house, for Joyce not to fee: a thrill of pleasure at finding her- self in these, lovely surroundings. With a little hop of sheer excite- ment, she crossed the big bathroom and pushed open another door which she noticed stood just slightly ajar. "Oh? His . his dressing room I suppose," she murmured, hesitat- ing on the threshold. She enterer, shyly, crossedto the dresser, and took from it a large photograph, in a heavy silver frame. Her own face smiled out at her. It was her own; but Joyce felt, nevertheless, that she must be looking at her double. "Of course, it's retouched a lot, and the evening gown makes a difference, But I , , . don't know . . there's something so assured and sophisticated and daring about it that it doesn't look like me, not like Joyce Ashton."

Iniatliatrahrialetaltia imersonmer The Carpet- .agger VS. The Local Printer Many business men, when considering the cost of any particu- lar job of printing, look only at the small sunt they may be able to save at the time en any order. They fail to asic themselves what the carpet -bagger leaves with them throughout the year in the way of business as compared with the local publisher and members of his staff. He also seems to forget that if he and his fellow business men would get more of their printing requirements done in their home town the publisher might be able to employ additional help, which vgculd still further swell the amount of money to be spent in the home town.
