Judy Looked through the window, with a far -away expression an her eYes, "I am not ao much surprised at that after what you have told me, Ofs course, it was all very different from anything he had ever known. Surely it was a frightful mistake for him to come to America!" "It's a mistake for most of them to come," assented Jean quietly, "Your brother isn't the type that makes good here. He's too fine. What he suffer- ed • —but there! I don't want to go on like that, and he never spoke of it, anyway." "!But what are we to do?" asked Judy. wringing her hands a little. "Can't we find or go after him?" "Who are `we'?" asked Jean on the spur of the moment. "Miss Cai lyon—that is, Miss Ten- torden and 1," said Judy quickly, "I don't know how I ant to tell her! Is there no way of finding out the Al- berta address; and how far is It out there? Could I go and come In day or two?" Jean Dempster smiled and shook her head. "I'm not sure of the exact distance, but it's nearer two thousand than one thourand miles from New York, Miss Rankine." "Two thousand miles!" echoed Judy, in incredulous amazement. "Why, that is as far as we have come!" -Further. But this is the land of Immense distances. You can't go there after ham. Miss Rankine, unless you have both time and money. But I could get the address for you, I think, though he did not give it to me. I know the name of the man who has sent him out. I could find out his ad- dress for you, if son would like to go and see him yourself; but, on the whole, I wouldn't advise you to," She added this as an afterthought, reelecting that perhaps the millionaire, Fordyce -4f all the stories about him were true—would not be likely to spare her feelings. "I'd rather not go and see hint. How did my brother get to know him?" "IIe was in the employment of his firm, and had a row with the man- ager about some abuses he found there. He hadn't learned to shut his eyes to abuses. I don't think he ever would learn that—would he? The man's mune is 1"ordyee. He has a factory on the East Side. I can easily get at him on the 'phone, or by letter, or interview, if you would like his address." "Of course I should like his address, I must get it! We must cable to him or something." "Very well, Miss Rankine. I'll find it all out for you some time to -day. And where can I send it?" •' A a are at the Holland House." Jean scribbled it down on the edge • of her tablets, and at the moment they bell -boy: brought an urgent message. I "I nm sorry, but I have to attend; to my business, Miss Rankine," she; said as she rose. "I wish I had had something brighter to tell you about your brother." Judy's face was now very sad, and her eyes rather hopeless. "We have both been uncomfortable• in our minds about him for a longi time; and, as you have been so very; kind to Alan, I ought to tell you that Miss Tenterden is his promised wife," I Jean Dempster stood still in the middle of the floor, as if petrified with astonishment, After eating, or smolcinAp Wrigley's freshens the mouth and sweetens the breath.

Jean Dempster did not sleep eo ly that night, her pillow was dream haunted, and she awoke unrefres About an hour after she had beg her business day someone rang ]ler up sharply on the 'phone. "You, Miss Dempster?" "Yes," answered Jean shortly, Fordyce speaking, You rang me up at the factory yesterday, I believe, several times. What did you want?" "Only an address, Mr. Fordyce," answered Jean in her pleasant Scotch voice, "en address to which Mr. Alan Rankine has gone out West," "Olt," came somewhat doubtfully over the telephone, and the listener quite evidently hesitated. He had had a good many affairs in his life re- quiring extreme caution and reserve regarding an his movements, and it was as natural for him to hesitate over this as to breathe. Quite possibly a woman was at the bottom of Ran- kine's plight, and be might: be glad to get away from her. "Say—you're Scotch, aren't you?" "Yes, same as you," answered Jean on the spur of the moment, "That's my exouse for venturing." "Well, where aro you speaking from now?" "My office—in the Dormer House, on Broadway." "Oh! business woman?" "Stenographer's office," "Right. I'll comp Sound inside an hour or an hour and a half, on my way back to lunch. Can't give you that address off—well•—for var- ious reasons." • "Thank you, Mr. Fordyce. I'll be Car here.„ Novy that was destined to be a mo- - mentous morning in Jean Dempater's nt life, and, all unconscious of it, she a pursued her usual avocations in her quiet, methodical manner. v. Her desk was cleared and her office moth spick and span when her caller was announced. He looked at her keenly when he entered, and they exchanged brief - salutations, "You know the chap?" began For- dyce, sitting down on the edge of the chair Judy had occupied yesterday. Jean inclined her head, aware of the fact that Fordyce was studying her Intently and was pleased with what he saw. He was a man of about forty or hereabouts, with a somewhat heavy figure and a square, good head, with mm ase determination in his clean - haven jaw. But his gray eyes were of so hard as they might have been. hey were quite soft and kindly as they rested on Jean Dempster's pleas- nt face. "Do you know the chap?" be re- nted, and watched her face to see he effect of'the question. "I know him quite well. He board- " at the house where I live when he ante to New York first,' last May," "Only then! He must have descend- " rapidly! Eh? What was it?" Jean did not immediately reply. "I don't want that address for my- self, Mr. Fordyce," she said presently nd with some irrelevance. "I'd like you to understand that.

CHAPTER XXVI, Several times that afternoon Jean a Dempster 'phoned to the Hast Side factory asking for Mr. Fordyce, Var- ITIS WIPE, ious officials and subordinates intent, to ed her business, but to each and all Miss Dempster replied that she must e talk with Mr. Fordyce himself. Final- c ly she had to leave ilei office without meeting with success, but left her e name and number to be passed on to him the moment he was available, Upon reflection she added that the business was urgent and that Mr, a Fordyce would probably think so when he heard it. She went home to Mrs. Isaacstein's t feeling oddly detached from all her 0 fellow -inmates and from the. whole I ordinary current of her life. tr Judith Rankine had not told her! much, but Jean had her intuitive fae-' hi ulty largely developed, and had small b difficulty in piecing the story together tw essentials, considerably wide of they mark. Such a restlessness was upon her that inunediately after dinner she left the house again and went in the direc- tion of the Manhattan Theatre, hop- ing to be fortunate enough to secure at the eleventh hour some obscure seat in the house, from which she could watch Miss Tenterden. It was not as a great actress that she was interested in her, but merely es the woman who mattered in Alan Ran- kine's life. She was fortunate in finding a cor- ner at the eleventh hour, and she had just settled herself comfortabIy when she saw Harry Fordyce, the man she had been trying all afternoon to get into communication with, enter the stalls. He was quite alone, and for the few moments before the curtain went up she had an excellent oppor- tunity of studying his face. He had no looks but only a certain Tomorrow the !sun will be brighten'; Tomorrow the skies will be fair, To -woe -row our hearts will be lighter; we'll cast aside sorrow and care. Remern'ber when heartsick and weary: the sunshine comes after the rain; Tomorrow 1s time to be cheery; To- morrow we take hope again! Ja anese Proverbs. P. The character and the ideals of any natied are always pithily expressed in the popular proverbs that have become part of the everyday speeek of the peo- ple. Here Is some of an lnteres'ting proverbial philosophy of the Japanese: One Japanese characteristic, perse- verance, le expressed in the saying: "Fall seven times, stand up. the eighth time." Another proverb in the seine vein declares: "A road of a thousand miles begins with one step." The Japanese equivalent of "casting pearls before swine' 'Js "giving gold coins to a oat,' 'and instead of "a wolf in sheep's clothing" they speak of "a wolf dressed in a priest's robes," When a Japanese wishes to explain that a thing le quite impossible he tells you that one might as well "learn to swim in afield" or "lap up the ocean with w a t shell.' "A small-minded man looks at the sky through a reed" and "The heart is the same at three as at sixty" are other Japanese gens. Picturesque too are "At the foot of the lighthouse it is dark" and "When the ben crows the house goes to ruin," The latter saying indicates the Japanese J 1 resp view of femin- ism. Equally pithy is: "There is no medicine for love -sickness or for a fool." Gambling With Ice -Cream. In nearly all the small towns in Spain the buying of ice-cream from a street vender Is made the opportunity for a gamble. On the top of the zinc pail that holds the cream is a small wooden plate above which !s _poised a revolving stick. Round the edges of the plate, which is gaily colored, graded numbers from ten to one hundred are painted, The intending purchaser pays the ven- der a penny, which entitles him to one twist'or-the stick. If the pointer in- dicates a number higher than that made by the stall -holder, the whiner is entitled to an ice.cream free of charge and another ovist of the stick, with luck, and provided the game le I played fairly, one can have a succes- sion of ices for the original penny. If the stall -holder wins in the first in- stance the penny Is lost and the cus- tomer receives nothing, These bar- rows are a source of interest to stu- dents, who spend most of their spare cash in .attempts to defeat the ice- cream man, It was, however, though true in some him that he had no people here. In his circumstances a man doesn't want his people about. Did she cable, or what?" "No. She is here in the city, stop- ping at the Holland House." "On his track?" "Partly.

He is the head of one of the oldest families in Ayrshire, his sister told me that much; and there ought to be estates, bet I don't, know what has become or them." "Ono more chapter added to the history of this inferno!" observed Fordyce vyith a sort of light bitter se "Well, I must say I liked the program intently, and spoke to none. ni After the curtain went up Jean, Ye under the spell of what most of the Ea critics were agreed was one of the finest bits of acting New York had me _ver seen, forgot all about him.

Jean had not known how deep that interest had been until now, when he had drifted out of her life. It was not a love interest in the ordinary sense. She believed that she would never feel that kindof merest in a man a second time ut she had honestly laked him, and moth- ne ISSUE No. 33—'25. tired himshe ashad c a mothered inane P 1 y ha , and I'm eternally obliged to him, L6 y. c :- =thee . used to _' yellow now they are SD wy white" "I always had trouble with my clothes—they used to come out so: yellow.
