The countess Is di'scouu'ag- ed, That 'night, she steeps at steYilee'o house: a burglar breaks In and ,Steynes Shoots, hen, The police ' take Mary's nameand address. CHAPTER ;.XII;—(Cont'd) ' "Now, listen, it's only four 'o'clock," Chris was presently saying briskly. "You've got to get some sleep—they won't be 'round 'here until. ten or °so in the morning=" "Mr. Steynes what can they do?" "What can who do?" "The police?t" "Why my child, you're not worry- ing about the polite?" Her eyes, tear -marked already, fill- ed with fresh tears. She could not speak. She nodded her head. "Why, listen," he said. "All they wantis to clear up the case for their records." Mary Nate put her handover her eyes. "They're not going to mug you for the criminals' gallery!" Chris assured her, amused and kindly. "It's a clear ease of house -breaking, and the fellow was armed— Browning, the constable, 'member?—Browning said Lo could get twenty years. Well, he won't, he'll get about five, if he lives." "Did he fire?" "No, he didn't have his gun out, even," "And nc was hit—?" "I shot hint through the lung. He'll never get out of the hospital, probably, And all they want to do Is Clear it up, be sure he wasn't in conspiracy with Attlisf or what net—" He saw she was not listening. Her anxious eyes were fixed on space. The hopeless, tragic apathy of her manner did not. change, "Will .the papers have it, Chris':" "Sure they will, But -hat doesn't have to worry you." Her_ umber eyes mcved'to him trust- ingly; she did not speak cgain for a long :time. But she knew sow what niig••t have change,: the whole course of her life had 'chs known it a dozen hours be- fore. She knew that she must depend only on herself, in this crisis, that she could find no help from Chris, er from anyone else, He might be sympathetic, he might want ',o be helpful, But his standards were not her standards, nor his code her code. There was one code, indeed, for a rich ' yo nig mar and another for a penniless girl. Perhaps he had net betrayed his code, in this adventure, but how she had demolished her own! "I suppose I'm thinking of Mother," she said simply, after a while. Chris regarded her for a few sec- onds, uneasily. "You can explain it. She'll believe you," he said then, without much as- surance, "Oh maybe!" Mary Kate Said wear- ily, with a shrug. Her lip trembled, and her eyes filled again, "Drink your coffee!" II "I am." "It's Prat one ,of those damn' things•---" Chris mused, unhappily, "It's too -bad. I'm awfully sorry!" Yes, she reflected bitterly, he might be awfully sorry, and it was becoming and generous in him to be so, Rut: that didn't involve him in anything shameful, that didn't mean that he could ,take any share of her punish-. ment. "I dont (hittk there's any question 4s1 '1 see that we can keep your name'out of 'the papers," Chris said, pondering. • "Gordy surelycan do :that • Gordon Rountree: = She had forgot- -ten her nervously laughing,. old em - plover, the man, of 'whom. she had soinetimes, thought:as a spoiled baby,. unwilling to take responsibility, Mixt- ons 'only to escape from every ,situa— tion with his own skin safe. Well, :ft was he who lied, gotten 'her into this,: and he was once -more to be let off scot free. But no, she ead•:to.interrupt her- self erself honestly. Nobody ever got a girl of twenty into trouble' except the girl herself. And here she was, "in trouble," just as surely in trouble as any Deo r*little loving fool who ever found herself robbed of a reputation overnight, Hundreds 'of girls got away with breaches of the moral law that bind a woman so tightly and exist not at all for -men: But she, Mary Kate O'Hara, who had always held her head so high, who had always been above suspicion, much less reproach—she before whom the other girls in the office wouldn't even tell a shady story, or use a coarse word—she was going to be known, from now' on, as the girl who wart down in a country house with a young wealthy bachelor from New York on the night a burglar was shot. "You look all in,"' Chris said, watch- ing -her. "I'm merely—" She gave a for- lorn little laugh. "I'm merely wishing I was the one who was shot!" she said. "Ah, no, no; you'll see it all differ- ently in the morning!" he promised her, But she did not brighten, she did not smile. Putting aside the half - emptied cup, she slipped down into her chair again. Her slim wrists, emerging from the generous sleeves of the dressing -gown, looked thin and childish; her slim, childish fingers were tightly Iooked. She stared dully into the dead fire. "What'll they do in'the morning?" "Oh, they'll poke around for finger- prints and ask questions, They ought all to be out of here in an hour, and after that ive have nothing to do but wait until it's time, in the afternoon, to run you home. We don't want to rouse your mother's suspicions by hav- ing you get home too early. We'll call off the luncheon—maybe we could go over to the club, for lunch, but there's apt to be a mob of -'people there, Sat- urdays, and it'd be one long razz about the burglar!" "I simply—can't---face my mother!" Mary Kate whispered. "I'd tell her the whole thing straight out. She'll know you're not lying." -"I lied to her—when was it? Was it only yesterday," the girl mused, hoe eyes brimming again. "What I thought," Chris began, put- ting down his own cup, "was that since there are several hours of night left I'd ask Mrs. Peters is sleep in the other bed, in your room. And my advice to you is to turn in and read a book or something until you get sleepy and forget Itl" Her eyes went about the sitting room. Would she. never, in all her life, escape from these distempered walls, this ,Spanish furniture with the rich brocade upholstery, this rising twisted stairway with its rail of heavy red cord? She was so sick of it—so. deathly eitk of it. CHAPTER XXIV. • The thought of her mother and the home kitchen, with little Pat at the table looking up from a bitten slice of .bread on which brown sugar glis- tened, were 'like the:dream of a,mir- age, Oh, the .coolness, the utter re- fresh:it.nt of home, and her limp blue • i*Z ra: Pure, crisp, light, flaky and always FRESH ta�stmsa • '5, kiteheit''apron, an :t t: ieh townie that hung, 'all winter long, above the stove, And that one fingered tentatively when a dish towel was needed, to determine .their exact degree of 'dryness!

I And {Care she eat; in' hernig-it robe and a man's wrap),er, at four o'clock in •theivrning,,looking at loathsome Spanish wells, and Spanish furniture, and Spanish, saints, 'and a ridiculous :medieval ,staircase winding up from the room itself with a•red coral balus- trade. When Mrs. Peters 'appeared with a •great annul of blaneets and -sheets, ,Mary Kate 'arose, to help lier"make a comfortable bed on the couch; it ap- peared that Peters'. was to finish the night hi the' house. After she lights began to•go out,'and Chris went up- stairs, and the 'two women went into that pretty spare room that Mary Kate had discovered with such thrill- ed enthusiasm, less than twelve• hours, ago. ,. It had been put into order new, and. both' bede: were turned down, but there was a strangeness', and chilliness about it, let thedead hour before dawn, that struck to Mary Kate's heart like 'au icicle. She lay down in the dressing- grown, and pulled the ,covers over her, opening ii ,book, Rut for a long time the words danced meaningless on, the page; she could not read, Mrs. Peters, observing sapiently that it wasn't likely that anything more would happen tonight but that, it did get on yopr nerves to have such goingseen in a place, clime ed comfortably into her own bed and was instantly snoring heavily. Mary Kate resented her, her 'snor- ing, her nervelessness, and above all, her quiet refusal to be drawn, into her —Mary Kate's affairs. The girl had thought she would ex- plain to Mrs. Peters' as lightly and briefly as possible, her reason for being in Mr. Steynes's house under these curious circumstances. But Helga Peters was not inter- ested. They could do anything they. wanted to do as Iong as she was paid her good eighty dollars a month. Mary Kate could be a lily of purity, or she could be Tony Moody's confederate in the housebreaking job; it was nothing to Helga. She would turn the girl's bed down, just the enure, and throw damp towels in the basket, wipe out ,the tub, put books back on the shelves. It did notsignify what this great dull animal of a woman thought, Mary Kate reflected, closing her book, snap- ping off her light, resolutely shutting her eyes. But she had said that of a good many persons today, and it was not true—she had known it was not true, even while she had said it, Of course it signified what persons thought about a girl, She might not admire Gordon Rountree or Don Archibald, or Chris Steynee, or Helga Peters, or Constable Browning, but their respect --their good opinion -was important.

The virtues she has placed before her sons and daugh- ters as being specially and typically hers are the virtues of courage, hardi- hood, endurance. And amidst all the manifestations of the new -trans- forming spirit these older, constant qualities were never, lost. More es- pecially were they tbe observed in men of high station whose position and responsibilities served to bring serious and weighty matters constant ly before them. Iu these the new and the old working together prod. aced a grave, thoughtful, yet gallant and buoyant spirit which gave us the finest type of English gentleman. Such was Elizabethan England, and it is easy to see that all the con- ditions were eminently favorable to the production of great poetry. The mental powers were In a state of high activity, the emotions were strongly stirred and the imagination was excited. In the past there was Stimulus and food. "For fifty years the English people had had before its eyes the great vicissitudes that make tragedy. All that could stir men's souls, all that could Inflame their hearts, or wring them, had happen. ed" (Dean Church). In the present there was peace, and 'consequently time for the assimilation of this material. The future was full of brightest promise and boundless hopes. We know how this past, present and future, working together, gradu- ally wrought Elizabethan England to that white-hot fervour of poetic energy in which some of the greatest works of the world's literature were produced. We think of Shake- speare's plays, of Speneer'e "Paerie Queen," of Marlowe and of Ben ,Jen- son. But we do not always remem- ber that if these great masters had never lived the age would still have been a remarkable one In the his- tory of English poetry. The time was prodigal of inspiration. When full measure had been given to the giants there was still enough to make anany poets of more ordinary stature. If we put aside the dramatic writings Of the time, the mass of poetry which remains to us ie still vary consider- able, The Elizabethans are un- doubtedly our great song writers, rivaled only 'by that group of Scottish poets of whom Burns is the thief.— Amy Cruse, In "The Elizabethan Lyrists and Their Poetry." Dawn When clouds loom black we're apt to think The sky has lost its 'blue, That rising suns no more will drink. The morn's translucent dew— And suddenly, from some slight c hinit, The sun comms shining through. When troubles foilow thick and fast We fancy joy has Sled, That all the pleasures of tiro past Are lying colts and dead— And suddenly, the sky v'ercast, The dawnlight blossoms roti. When failure fills the heart with fears, And makes all morrows, dark, Too apt are we, through blinding tears, But hopeless gloom 'to mark— But suddenly the sun appears And upward springs the lark, I suppose there are many -problems which Polar expiorers seek to solve?" said the unscientific man. "Yes," re- plied the intrepid traveller, "a great many." "What Is the most important one?" "Getting back." ISSUE No.- 3--'31 .

Starch can be used for cleaning silver. Apply 'with a pad of damp cloth, and rub well into the silver. Polish withan old sill: handkerchief.
