SYNOPSIS When Joyce opened her eyes one morning to see a fruit -laden orange tree from the end of the luxurious sleeping porch where she lay in bed, she couldn't decide what had happen- ed to her, for the last thing she re- membered was a skidding taxicab in Chicago on a sleeting November day. And when she saw the circlet 'of dia- monds on her wedding finger and when a man who called her Frills came to bid her an affectionate good- bye before leaving home for a hurried business trip, warning her to be careful after her fail from her horse the day before, she was even more puzzled. The gorgeous house that was evidently) her home, the faint brown stains on her fingers—she had never smoked—and the initials on her. toilet articles, F.L.P., added to her bewilderment. But—"it's heavenly," she said. "I'd be perfectly happy to spend a whole day right here." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Who was this man? What did he expect from her? He was older than. Neil Packard, she realized—older, and wiser. His dark eyes had heavy, drooping lids and his mouth a slightly one-sided twist to the full lips. The nose was straight and clean cut, his chin nar- row, while, like Neil, his face was evenly tanned. He was dressed in golf togs and had an unmistakable air of smartness about him. "I called up while you were a- sleep," he went on, pulling out a silver cegarette case, "did Roxie tell you? This morning." Without tak- ing his eyes from 'her, he put two cigarettes between his lips and lighted them expertly, both from the same flame. Extinguishing the match with a quick shake of his hand, he offered her one of the cigarettes. From his automatic manner, it was plain that this was an accepted pro- cedure. "I ... I don't care for any now," faltered Joyce, making no move tc cigarette. o "Oh, yes." "I was afraid he might cut out th' trip on account of your accident, and do us out of our bit. You'll be all right to go with the crowd Wednes- day?" Joyce's heart sank. Go where? "Oh, no, I can't. ... I ... don't feel up to going anywhere...." she ans- wered quickly. Frank perplexity mingled with real alarm swept :over the man's face. "Judas, you act queer this morning! Never knew you so quiet and ... so queer." Joyce was thinking desperately, "I must get rid of him. I can't stand much more of this sort of thing... . I've got to de something quick. I'll make ase of a little `temperament,' I guess." She jumped to her feet and ex- claimed, "Oh, let me alone! Can't you see I'm sick? And if you don't like it, you can ... yeti 'can ..." she fal- tered, her burst of courage evaporat- ing suddenly, and she turned toward the door, her one thought to escape. "I can go to hell," supplied Mait- land. He laughed without rancus, and looked relieved. "Fine! That sounds more like you, darling." He followed her with long strides into the living room. Joyce, confid- ent now that he understood he had been dismissed and was about to leave, turned and held out her hand to him. Instead of taking it, however, he came close to her and swept her into his arms. "Listen, sweetheart! I'll come tonight—.up through the gar- den...." Between the rapidly mut- tered words, his kisses fell on her neck and face with scorching touch and ardour, Joyce was aghast to find she could not struggle free from his grip. At last, her unresponsiveness and her feeble efforts to free herself seemed to reach his consciousness. He lifted his head to gaze inquiringly at 177. I11.4A\ �t , I ;; 1 .,:s was a -,:.net to trod she could not struri,i,:e fru. trot hie ^ , take the cigarette and surreptitious- ly attempting to push her chair far- ther back, away from him. He war so close that it seemed to her he must be able to look right through her eyes and read her confused thoughts. "For Heaven's sake, Frills, what's the matter? Better smoke; your nerves need steadying. How do you feel?" "Well, I have a headache, natur- ally . . . and I feel sort of shaken up," replied Joyce, dropping her eyes before his ardent gaze. , "You're damn' lucky its not worse," he remarked forcefully, "what you need is a food stiff drink right now, and I'm going to give it to you. Got some real Canadian rye here, some Jake Townsend got me." He drew out a large silver flask, unecrewed and filled the top and handed it to her. She accepted it without protest, silently. Perhaps it would help steady her nerves. Raising the flask high in one hand he placed his other hand on her knee, and pressing it with a sudden strong. clasp that made her wince, he ex- claimed softly, "Here's to Frills, the •most marvelous girl in the world!" 'erce smiled an embarrassed ac- knowledgment and gulped the liquor down hastily. "Feel better?" inquired, still watching iter closely. "Lord, Frille, I was in torment till I found out you weren't seriously hurt. If Neil doesn't take Fire Queen away where you can't get at her, I'm going to do it myself. That beast ought ' to be killed, and you know it. If ,you weren't such a stubborn little devil ,you'd admit it." ' Joyce now knew without doubt that this man was "Malt:" His assured tone sent a tremor .of apprehensive terror through her. • "Did Neil get away this morning'!" he asked, flicking ashes' from hia. some face moist and flushed. "Let me go:" gasped Joyce, taking advantage of his slightly relaxed hold to pull her arms out from under his. Putting her hands against his shoulders, she gave him such a sud- denly violent push that she broke his hold. He stared at her in blank a- mazement at the unexpected repulse, then a shadow crossed his face. "Frills, something's happened to you, Has Neil? .. , It is Neil? Tell me what it's all about!" Joyce backed to the door, fighting for self-control. "Let me alone! Don't touch nuc . go away—" She was almost sobbing. "But, sweetheart, I can't under- stand it. Don't you love me? What have I done? Or is it Neil? Has he been—.--•-" Without answering, Joyce fled up- stairs, her knees trembling under her. The very force 'of her aversion, however, took her to the front win- dow, and, peeping out from behind the curtain, she watched Maitland getting into a long gray sport road- ster outside the door. He glanced up and saw her. Joyce dodged back, angry at having been seen, but not before she caught the wide confident smile on his face and the wave of his hand toward her. Then she ran into the big bedroom and shut and locked the door. "Oh dear! What am I going to do? Well, next time I'll know enough to keep at a distance and not give him a chance 'to grab. me that way!" She was interrupted by a knock At first, she decided to pay no atten- tion. Then, merely to get away fron- her own disturbingthoughts, she has- tily opened the' door. Roxie stood ethee,rholding.out • a yellow envelope, "Telggram for you, Mrs..Packaitl'" • :n1, i "Oh? ;`Oh thank "red:" said Joyce taking; it. *lien' she hod torn it op - her. Vis e'y%es"'',ere'huntid- hie. hand -L en apprehensively, dreading to en- counter further complications, Joyce read: "HOW ARE YOU PLEASE WIRE ME HOTEL BLACKSTONE. LOVE NEIL." It was evidently sent enroute for it was headed Sacram- ento. "IIe's much nicer than Malt!" she thought impulsively. She finally decided to telephone the message. Scarcely had she hung up the. receiver than the bell rang. She listened in and heard as before Rox- ie's calm answer. • "Hullo, Roxie, can I speak to Frills?" drawled a feminine voice. "I'tn sorry, Mrs. Emery, but she gave orders she didn't feel up to an- swering the 'phone today." "Is that right?" with an incredul- ous note in the voice. Look here, Rox- ie, go and tell her I'm on the wire, will you? Ross and Ed and Ethel and I want to come ever after dinner... " Joyce shuddered. Ross and Ed and Ethel! Whew! Four new ones at a blow. Who were they? When Roxie appeared, Joyce said, "Please tell Mrs. Emery I have a headache and I don't feel like seeing any one for a day or two." She smiled with a touch of malice `when she heard Mrs. Emery's remark I to Ronk. "Say, Roxie, honest, did Frills say that? Has Doc been in to- day to see her? ... Frills is sure sick when she won't see the gang." Joyce set her lips indignantly at that further evidence of the unknown Mrs. Emery's familiarity with her affairs. She was glad that Roxie answered with obvious acidity, "No, ma'am." "I like Roxie,' she decided grate- fully. It all began to seem to Joyce like a species of fantastic game. How long could she hold off these unknown friends? With the one important ex- ception of Maitland, the points had so far been in her favor. With care and good luck she might continue to win, until there came the move which would require her utmost skill the return of Neil Packard. Ilex restlessness gradually became more than mental. She found her hands moving nervously, the fingers rubbing together automatically, or picking up objects aimlessly. When she sat down it was impossible to keep her body still for more than a moment at a time. She realized a craving in her for something—with- out knowing what it was, When Roxie appeared to ask whether she wished dinner, she gave mn affirmitive answer, adding that she would like it served upstairs, and that she was not at home to any cal- lers. "Excitement must make me hun- gry," thought Joyce later as she sat before the attractive dinner which Roxie brought to the boudoir and ar- ranged on a small round table. "Any- how I'm not so far gone with shock that I can't appreciate good food when I taste it." When the sun had disappeared darkness came on rapidly—slot with the soft lingering of twilight in the East. Going out on the sleeping porch, Joyce caught her breath with delight at the brilliance of the stars in that clear deep blue velvet of the night sky. There seemed to be more than she had ever seen before, closer together and brighter. The entire sky was powdered with stars. She could plainly see the scalloped line of the distant mountains against the firmament, and beyond the garden the blossoming fruit trees spread a carpet of soft white, faintly shim- mering in the starlight. Not a build- ing, not an artificial light, emptiness spread around her like a pool of fathomless still water, lonely, awe- inspiring. Joyce sat there until she discov- ered that the night air was actually cold, a surprising change from the hot sun of the daytime; and she re- turned to the house. At ten -thirty Joyce was still se wide-awake that she had no desire to go to bed, but a feeling of rest- lessness swept over her again, and she could no longer sit still in front of the fire. "It must be safe to go downstairs now.... Think I'll sneak out to the kitchen and look for something to eat." She found the lower part of the house in total darkness, but remem- bering the cubistic floor lamp just inside the living room door, she fum- bled for it and successfully pulled the chain. This gave her light enough tc find 'the kitchen. When she had finished eating, Joyce tried the 'back door and found it locked. Then, before she went up= stairs again, she made the round of all the, windows and doors ' otic • the lower floor. Wheri she' was in bed, Joyce ,lay tense tor some timer nervously,.snre she would' netnr' 'go 'to sleep, ;She pant' sunshine and clear air which could' not have lain awake long, for, when she awoke to broad daylight, Joyce had no recollection of a sleep. less vigil in the dark. She felt so much better +hat ho courage went up with a sudden leap, There was a quality about the brit. sent a thrill of pleasureeble excite meet through her. The prospect of the coming problems stimulated in- stead of disheartening her. Today. she would play the role of Mrs. Neil Packard more convincingly. (Continued Next Week.) What Clinton was Doing in The Gay Nineties DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING TFF: LAST DE- CADE OF THE OLD CENTURY? From The News -Record, Apr. 19th, • 1893: News Notes: The Sons of England will have a reunion supper at Pike's hotel on Monday evening. Mrs. T. Fair and Mrs. R. Irwin were delegates to the annual meeting of the W.F.M.S. of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, held in London yes- terday. The hour of morning service in the Ontario street Methodist church has been changed to eleven o'clock. The class meeting preivous to morning , service will now commence at ' ten o'clock. Coen.

Mr. Edge preached in Ontar- io street church on Sunday last at the Sunday school anniversary ser- vice. Farmers are seeding in Goderich and Stanley townships. North Huron will hold a monster celebration at Blyth on July 12th. John Essen of Bayfield offers a new site for a summer hotel. Hr would also like to have an electric railway run from Seaforth to Bay- field. How about Clinton? The G. T. R. safe at Lucknow was cracked the other night and $97 in bills and a few dollars in silver tak- en. The only clue is a set of burg- lar's tools, a whiskey flask and an American newspaper. Panics Dick of Kippen has purchas- ed the Carroll Hotel, Seaforth, for $3,050.' He takes possession May 1st. Lightning struck the barn of Thos Potter near Holmesville Wednesday night about ten o'clock. The stock was nearly all saved . Harness, hay, oats, feed and grain were destroyed and the loss is considerable. Insur- ance $200. A Cold Bath: David Cook the younger, of the feed store, had a rather cold experience one morning recently. He was delivering goods in the vicinity of Wm. Cooper's resi- dence. When he returned from the house the horse was up to its back in water in the ditch and the only rem- edy was for Dave to take an early bath. He reluctantly accomplished the feat, unhitched the horse and left the rig until the next day. Board of Examiners: The Ratten- bury Street Methodist church is thronged with strangers this week The Guelph Conference Board of Ex- aminers met here yesterday and are conducting an examination which re- lates to probationers and candidates for the ministry, of which there are between thirty and forty. A New System: An exchange tells of a school teacher who has intro duced a novel system of spelling in her school. If a girl misses a word the boy spelling the word is permit- ted to kiss the girl. The boys are improving but it is feared the girls will soon forget how to spell. They May: Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who never to him- self hath said, "I'll pay before I go to bed, the debt I owe the printer." Yes, there are some, we know full well, who never such a tale can tell; but they, we fear, will go to , well, the place where there's no win- ter.

Front The New Era, Apr. 21st, 1893: Notes: • Mr. Harry Gould is now' the possessor of a Comet cycle. The train to Goderich jumped the track the other day but fortunately the speed 'was not great and no da- mage was done.

Proposed Creamery: A meeting was held in the council chamber on Tuesday evening in response to a call from the Mayor, to consider a scheme for the foundation of a joint Creamery and Butter Fatcory....A- bout $1800 in stock was subscribed at this meeting but as the Exeter factory is to be in operation in a- bout 60 days, it is likely the matter will be held in abeyance to see how that one works. Later Other Years: The fall of four or five inches of snow the oth- er morning was the subject of re- mark among several persons, when n resident of Hullett spoke up and said:—"Yes, its a late fall of snow, but I've known it to be much later, for I well remember going to church at Londesboro with a cutter some years ago on the second Sunday in May, and the sleighing was pretty good, too." Badly Hurt: Four weeks ago when Mr. Lawrence Manning was returning home one evening an up- turned plank of the, sidewalk tripped him up and he fell heavily on his side.

Assessor Cottle says yes and quotes: "Only places of worship and land used in connection therewith, (including 'churchyard or burying ground shall be exempt." The Municipal World is of the same opinion. But the church officials are emphatic in opposition tothe assess- ment andare backed up by legal. advice received through tite 'Chris- tian Guardian, The question will in all probability have to be settled by the court of revision. Mr. Cottle places the as. sessment at $1,000, Centre Huron 'Convention: The • meeting of Centre Huron Conserve-. tives held in, the. council chamber yesterday aftenoon was attended by •epresentative men from various parts of th new riding.

Middle- ton of Goderich township will be pleased to learn that she had suf- ficiently recovered from her recent runaway accident to be able to re- turn home on Sunday. One—Yet blot One:—'A very a- musing thing happened here last Thursday morning, by a combination of persons who were direct contrasts. A. large crowd of temperance dele- gateswere walking from the station to attend the convention held here that day. At the head of the crowd. walked Mr. Arthur Knpx of Wing - ham, well known as the oldest hotel keeper in the county. We do not suppose that Mr. Knox was aware of the situation, but to those who saw and understood it was decidedly a- musing. On Wednesay evening Mr. and Mrs. Frank Herman entertained a number of the Modelites who for- merly attended school here, Need- less to say they had a good time. Tuckersmith: The Epworth League of Turner's church held the first of its week -evening meetings on Monday evening, when a large audience was present. Miss Pearl Wise, violinist, Miss Minnie Elcoat, elocutionist, Mr. George Pearson, violinist, assisted local talent in a most interesting program. A collection of nearly sev- en dollars was taken for League Missionarp forward movement, Bayfield: The wedding of Miss Belle Whiddon to Mr. Thomas Stin- son, both of this place, gave our lit- tle town an Easter surprise. The wedding took place at high noon on Wednesday, Apr. 22nd, after which the happy couple will spend a honey- moon about London. The number of weddings that are soon to be on re- cord will prove that "leap year" is no• fizzle about our burg. MY HAT! George Bernard Shaw has his own ideas about sun hats you will notice.
