She rarely made tea -there Curless Burle- son asked it, but today he was out and the great fireplace tempted her. It was a gray day and the leap of the fire would be like the heart of a welcome - warm and bright. It was nearly five o'clock. She had barely time to give a few more dainty touches to her tea -table. Her eye caught the glimmer of the green jade god on her uncle's li- brary table. The sight of it re- called his face yesterday, the sudden red streak between his brows; she stood an instant looking at the cu- rious little green image, its uncan- ny, elfish face, its pointed beard, green+as seaweed, its perfect hands. It squatted as an Oriental god should, and the light from the fire gleamed on its bald jade head. Sud- denlytancy seized her; she lifted it and put it gently down on her table beside the flowers. "Uncle can lend it to me for an hour anyway," she thought, and glancing again at the clock, forgot it. * * * Mark was coming! Her heart was beating; in spite of herself she felt NEW MU FOR OW CORM/OS WITR ALL -FABRIC Tintex CURTAIN ECRU ESPECIALLY MADE FOR CURTAINS - WORKS LIKE MAGIC eadache Nothi ng is more depres- I s ng than headaches.., ,Why suffek?...Lambiy',s fit` will give instant relief:' Lambty'sisgoodforcer- (5l— ache, toothache, pains in y> ,back, stomach, bowels, 7k'ad 'vl HEADACHE POWDERS_ 15 a tremor of uneasiness. She tried to thrust out disturbing thoughts, but old leosdick's manner, his treat- ment of the man, bad been so — so disconcerting; She was a little disturbed 'still, though her eyes were shining, when there was a stir in the hall, the lifting of a por- tiere, a new voice, and then the tall man with the level eyes, She held out a frank hand. "I'm so glad you could cone!" she said; "I thought it might be hard for you to find the time." He took her hand and held it, looking down into her eyes. "It's been athousand times hard- er to stay away," he replied sim- ply, "and I've tried — I never meant to come here again!" She gave hint a questioning look; the firelight caught her face and showed it ivory pale. "I don't know what you mean, but you'll tell me?" she 'breathed softly. "I carte to tell you." "Sit down then, let tine give you a cup of tea," her voice faltered. "No!" he said quickly. Suddenly, impulsively, she put her hand out and touched his arm. "It can't be as bad astthat — and •I'm your friend!" she assured hien sweetly, * * * He caught her hand and kissed it passionately; then he let it drop and folded his arms, "I511 not fit to do that," he said harshly, "I've played a part" Then lie told her the simple truth' about his meeting with Landon and Banks, and the wager. "I was nothing but a shabby im- poster, even my name's false," he sant bitterly. "I don't deserve to be spoken to. It burns me tip with shame- I made a vow I wouldn't come back here under false pre- tenses. I was going away when you niet me the other day, You ought to refuse to speak to ase!' She seemed to consider this, for she said nothing for a while, and her silence -hurt him.. "I can't understand," she said in a low voice, "why a manlike you should conte here like that! To :let yourself be — well, be brought here on a wager." "To make you .understand that I'd have to tell you the, story of tiny life," he replied hoarsely, "the whole story!" "Yes?" she said, gravely, interro- gatively. Ile straightened up, his haggard eyes met leers. "My God, I I can't do that!" he cried brokenly; "I'm a coward — T can't do that!" * * * But she was silent, waiting. The girl's quiet .attitude, the curve of her cheek turned toward him, gave no hint of the turmoil in her own mind. She recalled — too vividly, — Fosdick's attitude, his lean old black -clad shoulder turned on the younger man, the biting mockery of his tone when he repeated the ,name, 'Tyrant," a false name, as .

She was shaken with dismay, yet his very presence there appealed to her, reassured her be- lief in him. "What is your name?" she asked him, in a low voice, watching him. Ile lifted his head. Would this end it? Would sire know at once?, "Mark Grant," he replied slow- ly, letting the two words drop into the silence. Then he turned and looked at her. She did not know! Flow could she? It was fifteen years agol The relief of her ignorance made his heart leap; she did not re- coil, she did not look abhorrance at him,. the name meant nothing to her. She was still concerned with the wager. I can't see how you came to do it," she repeated. "Teddy Banks—" her gesture was disdainful — "and Landon, I'lcnew theist! But you—" * * *e. "If it will help you to under- stand, I'll tell you that I had eighty cents in my pocket that night; my aunt had left me a legacy but I couldn't get it at once.

"You forgive ene for — coming here like that?" he exclahned, Shenodded; she could not speak, for he had her hand in both his; she could feel the emotion that shook hint. But still he did not speak. S think you must have had some reason for it," -she said simply; "I can't believe ill — of you." "Don't loole at ase like that!" he exclaimed; "turn your eyes 'away! For I've no right to speak to you until I tell you -I've, been in pris- on." In the silence a log fell from the andirons and a mass of sparks flew up the black throat of the chitnney.; He diad 1100 look at her -- he wait- ed, Then he heard her voice, and it was astonishingly clear and cheer- ful.

"How did you get the world to- gether so quickly?" asked her fa- ther. - "That was easy," exulted Joan. "I turned the pieces over, and on the other side T saw a picture of a Man. I just put the elan together right, and when the man ryas to- gether right, the worldwas right."

Partner and I never agree when the time cones each year to order chickens. Partner al- ways wants plenty of cockerels, I would rather be without male birds altogether and raise only pullets, However we generally compromise by ordering nixed chickens, But this year we are both having our own way. We are getting pullets in March and cockerels in May. I always say that by ,having both sexes together the cockerels are raised at the expense of the pullets, even when they are too young to be separated. The greedy little nines always boss' their poor little sisters at every torn, crowding around the feed troughs, showing by their actions it doesn't shatter who gets left as long as they don't. And d0 they eat! ,rust about twice as muchas the wee pullets, But still, if no one raised these bossy young cockerels, there wouldn't be any roast chickens on our tables, would there? We can always sell more dressed chickens than we raise so I feel I have to overcome' niy aversion and fall in line with Partner's ideas, but always with a grins satisfaction that those strut- ting, gluttonous birds will finally get their. deserts.. Oh dear—my heart practically skipped a beat jt:st now. Partner opened the front door suddenly and called out "Bob—where are you going?" •. . "Bob" d thought, "our Bob—was it possible?" I ran to the door. No, it wasn't our Bob—it was young John's brother, looking for John. You will understand . why.
