S2'NOPSIS,
-Mary Bate O'Hara, .engaged to Cass
Beating agrees to Play the part of Chris
Ste. ,es'. wife and meet the Countess
Marko. at Hurliugante. Then she goes to
Steynes' home to sleep overnight, Dur-
ing the «i'ght -her. brother, Martin, not
knowing, t e circumstances, breaks into
Steynee house and is shot as a burglar.
Upon her returnto her home, Mary ands
she has fallen in love with-Steynes.
Then Mary, Martin, Cass and Chris meet
at the O'I•I^ra hone and during the dia-
cpssion the Widow (Mara Wants in and
demands t„ know what the trouble le.
She declares she believes ;clary

CHAPTER XLI.—(Cont'd,)
"And you're not afraid, dear?"
asked Chris.
"Yes," she said, with the first Bash
of natural laughter she had shown
tonight. "I'm horribly sfraid 1 I know
I'll make mistakes, I'II be snubbed --
"And after a few years, you may
rot love me any more than lots and
Iets of men love their wives after s
few years—" he added, suddenly
grave.
"But this thing," she said, her
fingers in a clutching pressure, aver
her heart, "this thing has got—to he
quieted. It is like a pain!"
He dropped her hands, and turned
toward her mother; he was on one
knee; beside the older woman's chair.
"Mrs. O'Hara," he said, "may I
have her?"
There was a Iong pause, and in it
Cass Keating slipped quietly from the
kitchen, without anyone noting his
going. '
"How would you know your own
heaet?" Mrs. O'Hara said then, slow-
ly, dablously. But she had laid one
Band upon the big square shouider of
the coat, just the same. "Flow would
she . know hers, and you and she
strangers this fortnight a -gone?" she
asked.
"I'll be very good to her; she'll be
the most spoiled—the most loved
woman in the Arid," Chris promised
humbly.
"You'd lay that naw—" the mother
said, not unkindly.
"But I mean it," he persisted.'
"You're rich," Mrs. O'Hara mused,
studying his face, with her own plain
face very sober, "You're very rich,
but there's other things but riches;
r ow 6o I know that you're fit for a
little girl like my Molly?"
A pain in ti e lower part of your

"I know what you think' of roe,
Chris. answered, looking straight inti,
her eyes. "And some of it's true. But
riot—the worst things. I've never
wanted—girls, Muth, I'm idle. I play
cards, and polo, and tennis, and golf,
and the tables at Monte Carlo—,but
the only' woman who exer had a hold
on me is well, Mary met her! And
she isn't, afraid of the Countesa

Suddenly Itrrs. O'Hara's face quiv-

he got up and went into the bed-
room that adjoined the kitchen.
Tv,: kissed 'his 'sister, laughed a
raw, bewildered laugh, lumbered on
his own way to bed.
"Don't you cure, Molly!" he said.
"It's the darndest break I ever
sawl" Martial commented, from his
chair. He gripped the chair -arm with
ills right hand, got to his feet, balanc-
ing himself carefully, because of 'he
wounded arnl. "I'in going in to talk
to Mother,"' he explainer!.
Mary Bate, her sapphire eyes

watching the emptying room as a child
watches a Christmas Tree.
"Mother'lI be all right!" Martin
predicted. •
"Oh, yes, she'll be all right!" Mary
Kate ,whispered back,
"She's worried about Uncle Robert.
Wouldn't you know he'd choose .Hti!y
meek to die in!" Martin commented.
"Wouldn't you know it?"
.But in her aching heart she
thought: "It doesn't matter wh

She and Chris were alone in th
kitchen,
"Do you think it's the darndet
break you ever saw, too, Mary?" h
asked.
"I'm a little --scared," she admitted
a laugh.
He he'd her hands, and her brigs

0y looked up at the the great block
apartment houses on Geary street,
sing tiers of little squares of pale
Id narking the lines of windows,
gher and higher against the dark
ue sky. The great electric light sign
shed and wheeled and dimmed un-
ringly, in the night. Motor cars
tilted in the street, whizzed, and
ere gone, and the feet of pedestrians
ipped on the sidewalk, beyond the
rice.
But millions of stars throbbed over -
ad, and the tuft scarf -of the Milky
ay hung low and glittering, close to

arled lilac by the fence, the "ntoek-

helped to scent and make magical

Chris and Mary Kate stood silent,ath

"Get married, aren't we?"
"I suppose so." Her voice was

Stiddeniy the sound of hoofs rang
on the rooky railway siding, and a
score of bandits began running up
and down the train peeking into the
cars. Things looked pretty serious,
especially when a big Chinaman be-
gan rummaging around among the
tea chests. Lnekily he did not no-
tice our hiding place.
Something had to be done quickly,
however, or. the outlaws would re-
turn and find lis. Quietly I signal-

We dropped out of the car and crept
softly along the side of the train

The engineer and fireman leaned

"Chris!"
"Dort':, you like that idea?"
It :rad silenced Ler, She was re-
flecting.
"Will I have to have a maid?"
"Oh, I think so, Mary,"
"Ha!" she exclaimed again, this
time with a sigh.
"What time do you think the City
Hall opens?" Chris asked.
"Ten 11"Then I'll be here at quarter of
ten. And if there's any special per-
son you want to marry 08—"
"There is."
"Then telephone him, and arrange
it, will you?"
"Will your mother hate ore?"
"She'll neither' hate you nor like
you. We'll visit her, and 'the Count,

He's fifteen years younger than my

For us who glimpsed . the Vision

We shall go down the road of unre-

Broken and spent but faithful to a

Oh, let them say when men shall tell
our story:
"True was their quest, deep -loved,
though unattained;
Their futile striving held some seeds
of glory,
Their shattered dreams the heights
they never gained."
