night, three weeks ago, when she had
driven her roadster into the sea. She
had been amazed to find no newspa-

night was no longer.
Three weeks after a cream colored
raodster had .been found wrecked in
the sea at the foot of a cliff, a girl
calling herself Anne. Cushing appears

Mrs. Duane rang for Matthews.
"Matthews, Mr. Barry was married
a few days ago and will be home next
Wednesday. Please see that the west
wing is made ready for me."
"The—the west wing, Ma'am?"
"Certainly, Matthews."
In five minutes the news was buz-
zing in the rear of the old house.

In the seclusion of her own quite
luxurious suite the sole heir of the
Pendletons was behaving badly.
From her petted babyhood, Cleo

Duane -was married. Barry Duane
was the only man she had ever really
wanted.
"I hate her!"' she thought furi-
ously. "I'll make him ashamed of
his ranch girl. Sweet simplicity ...
what'll she look 'like in Granliegh?
I'll make hint wish he'd never seen
her. I'll give Barry Duane six
months, or less, to be sick of his bar-
gain."
Every day of their homeward jour-
ney had been reminding Anne that in-
stead of a struggling young ranch
owner shq had married a man of as-
sured social position.
"Almost home, Nancy."
That was from Barry. Except for
the deep tan he was scarcely reeog
nizable as the same Barry Duane she
had first seen, coatless dusty and
cheerfully informal.
The train was slowing down.
"There's John on the ,platform. Ire
doubles as garden and chauffeur, but

Barry nodded at one man, moved
hie hand in careless salute to anoth-
er, raised his bat to a woman. Anne
knew that several heads had turned.
Evidently everybody who counted
knew everybody else in this pleas-
ant old town.
The car swept away from the sta,
tion and down a wide, well -kept road.
They were passing a high stone wall,'
about midway of which a wide gate-
way indicated a drive. As they came
abreast a car shot out of the opened
gates, a swift roadster, and cut in a-
head of them. There was a girl at
the wheel. She half turned her head
as she shot across their path, with an
impudent little grin and a swift wave
of one hand.
"Reckless little devil!" Barry half
frowned, and then laughed. "That's

"She's pretty." Anne reserved

baby eyes had swept her with a stare
as cool and efficient as blue steel.
The car was turning into a shad-
ed drive which curved toward a wide,
old house. It was not as pretentious
as most but it was older and mellow -
et.
A tall, spare woman with beautiful
hands and an emotionless face was'
waiting to greet them.
Barry said "Here we are, Mother!"
with just a touch of nervousness. Be
bent and kissed her, and drew Anne,
forward' with one arm.
"I don't need to tell you who this
is, Mother, except that she is just as
lovely as, she looks, and I am a proud
husband. - Nancy darling, this is my
mother, and yours."
Whatever surprise Mrs. Duane may
have felt as she looked at the "ranch

show it. What had such a girl been

Two girls were strolling round the
shop. Presently they stopped beside,
a large tray filled with samples of a
popular brand of tooth paste.
"Tooth pastel" exclaimed one,
"Just what I was looking for!" Hold-
ing up one of the samples, she ex-
claimed to the clerk: "How much are
these, please?"
The assistant smiled pleasantly.
"They are gratis, madam," he re-
plied.
"Yes, I know that," the girl re -
totted, impatiently, "but how much
