CONCLUSION
THE SYLVESTE
By BLANCHE ROBERTS
Tile door of room 240 was closed
end she pushed it open gently with-
out snaking a sound. A nurse was
standing over by the window and
did not hear or see her enter. Dan
was lying there, his head wrapped
in yards of bandage, and his eyes
were closed. He was very pale.
"Dan," she breathed close to his
ear.
His eyes carte open instantly.
"Honey!" he cried and reached a
hand to touch the face so close to
his. "Honey, darling!" The glad-
ness in his voice warmed her heart
as she kissed him.
The nurse spun around. "How did
you get in?" she demanded sharply,
threateningly.
"Never mind," put in Dan, "Please
leave us." The nurse looked uncer-
tain. "Go on," he ordered firmly.
"Get out"
She went then.
"Why did you come back, honey?
Why didn't you make good your
escape?" His eyes caressed her
while his voice scolded.
"1 Was not running from you,
Dan," she said slowly, and lifted
his hand to her lips. "It was Joe.
I was running from him. But he
is dead now."
"Yes. In an auto accident. He
tried to kill me before he died." She
touched t h a bandage on her
shoulder,
Dan closed his eyes for a moment
me if to shut out the thought.
Honey took a deep breath. "Dan,
look at me. Let me tell you before
they come and take me away."
He turned his eyes up to her and
new hope was in their depths.
"The woman who had the dia-
mond was not the real Mrs. Syl-
vester," she stated with emphasis,
sure of her ground. "The real Mrs.

Sylvester died and the woman im-
personating her was her .nurse."
"How do you know, Honey?"
She put fingertips over his lips
so he would not interrupt her again
as she hurried on with her explana-
tion.
"The Sylvesters lived in Europe.
After Mr. Sylvester's death his wife
moved to a mountain village. She
' was an invalid and soon became
bedridden. The nurse took up the
position as widow and passed Mrs.
Sylvester off as an aunt."
Her voice was soft and vibrant
with feeling as she went on with
her story, her hand gripping his
firmly for strength. The pain in her
shoulder did not stop, and neither
of then saw the small circle of red
that came through the bandage and
kept getting larger.
"Harry Sylvester was the black
sheep of his family and when he left
home as a young man, he took his
mother's diamond, the most pre-
cious thing she possessed. It broke
her heart to lose it. So before
Harry's wife died, she managed to
get a letter posted to his mother,
telling of the nurse's activities
which she was unable to prevent.
But his mother died before she
could do anything to recover it.
The nurse did not know there were
any living relatives and presumed
her schemes were safe,"
"And you, Honey?' He could not
keep back the important question
any longer.
"Harry had a sister who died and
left a child. I am that child—Honey
Sylvester Monroe. I promised
grandmother just before she died
that I would get the diamond back.
But she did not want to go to court
about it and let the world know that
her son was a thief," Her voice was
getting weaker but neither noticed
and she went on, struggling against
the pain in her shoulder, "When
I met Joe Danburne, I knew he
was a jewel thief and it was
through him T learned of the where-
abouts of the stone. He was plan-
ning to steal it,
"That is the reason I- was seen
so much with hint I had to get the
diamond."
A tear splashed against his hand
as she added:
"Grandmother has her diamond
now, and nothing else matters if
you forgive me. If I still have your
love, Dan,"
"Honey!" Never had she heard
her name spoken in such a loving
voice, and her heart leaped with
supreme happiness. Then he saw
her shoulder and the blood soaked
bandage. "Honeys" he cried in
alarn and reached out quickly to
pull her into his arms.
The door opened in that instant
to admit nurses and a doctor with
Art at their Heels, Honey had
fainted, her bright head against Dan,
his arms around her.
The doctor picked up the limp
figure, but he saw the question in
Dan's eyes and was compelled to
answer. "Not too serious, I under-
stand," he said kindly. "Just weak-
ness from loss of blood:
"How soon will—" Dan began
but the doctor interrupted. "She'll
be fine in a week,' he said..
"I was going to say how soon
could we be married," Dan said,
"but that answers my question."
Art smiled and walked over to
introduce himself to Dan.
(Tho End)
The small one was being a pest.
He had dashed across the aisle of
the railway coach, had gazed long
into the stout man's red face, and
was now engaged in the serious
entreprise of counting buttons on

At last; t11 unhappy victim turn-
ed despairing eyes upon the small
one's beaming mother. '
"Madam," lie asked, "what du yon

Then pray, call him."

P.E HIRST j
"DEAR ANNE HiRST: At most
of your answers to worried wives,
I notice your advice has been 'to try
to save their
marriages.
Please tell me
if 1 have done
the right thing.
"I've been
' separated from
my husband
now for four
months, This Is
the third time.
He is 24 (I'm 21) and very nervous
and temperamental, a man who
cares only for himself. I've grown
nervous, and so have the children,
from his always coming hone
angry.
"He break§ down the doors,
frightens the children, preaches all
night about the war. He would
never take me home to see my fam-
ily, though they live only six miles
away. He says when I married him
I was to give them up; when they
came to see us, he ordered them off
the place,
fIe never trusted ale with one
cent. He fussed when I asked for
the babies' clothes. He had our
telephone put in his mother's house
so I couldn't spend 15 cents to call
my mother. Three cents is too inuclt
to spend for postage; all the mail
goes to his office. I -Ie even told my
neighbor not to lend me magazines
(which I read to relieve my mind).
I've given hint hundreds of chances,
but it's the same thing over again.
UNCONTROLLABLE TEMPER.
"When my last baby was born
(two weeks old now) ]le made so
much trouble at the hospital that
they sent are home on my fourth
day. (I nearly lost the baby before
I went) He has even threatened
to take his life.
"When I found out he drank, 1
° knew my marriage was a mistake.
We have gone without groceries
so that he could buy beer for his
parents and himself. (They even
gave my baby beer!)
"Now I am living with my par-
ents, who are wonderful to nie. 1
receive only five dollars• a week for
support. He sends me roses instead
of money!
"I ani trying now to forget him,and raise my babies to be fine boys.
Have I done right?
UNCERTAIN.
* I HAVE CONSIDERED your
* situation from every angle. I do
* not see what else you could have
1' done but leave this husband who
* caused you so much anxiety and
* alarm.
* He seems to be one of those
* badly balanced young men who
* indulges himself as he pleases,
/ and takes no thought of the con-
* sequences' of his tantrums on you
* and the children. He does indeed
* seem to love only himself. De-
* termined to have his own way,
* he keeps you shocked and upset
* by his outbursts of temper, his
* disregard of the babies, and his
* neglect to provide for you all.
* No young wife can stand such
* a life. You tried to. You left
* hint three times, only to return at
/ his beseeching. Now you have
* reached the end of your rope.
*' Who can blame you?
* I do try to help unhappy wives
* and husbands to preserve their
* marriage—if it has good in it.
* But of what use can such a man
* as your husband be to his wife
* or his children? If any man has
* reason to BE A MAN in every
/ sense, your husband has. Evi-
* dently it is beyond his power to
* change,
* I am so sorry!
When a husband lacks the char-
acter and self-control to cherish his
wife and children, the wife must
take things into her own hands for
everybody's sake. Anne Hirst can
help you out of your confusion.

A doctor who had a neurasthenic
patient said to him: "Say each
morning, 'The Mediterranian sun is
beating down on me and curing
ale!, "
A week later his patient went
to report progress, '
"Doctor," he said, "I'm much
better,"
"Good," replied the doctor. "Go
on with the treatment, and don't
forget that the Mediterranian sun is
beating down on you."
In another week the doctor called
on hint and was horrified to find
the blinds down.
"What happened?" he inquired
of the maid.
"Please, sir, Mr. Robinson's very
ill."
"Heavens, what was the cause?"
"Sunstroke, sir,"
