CB -245W t/ j By MARY €MLAY TAYLOR CHAPTER XIII "That doesn't shake my belief in you; you see, I'm your friend." She believed in him; it was the most marvelous thing 'in the world( "And you don't ask me about it? Nor why I was sent there?" he cried. She shook her head, smiling. "You're any friend," she repeated. softly. The beauty of\it swept him off his feet. He caught her hands in his in another moment he would have told her that he loved her — told her the whole story — but his eyes fell suddenly on a green thing on the table at her elbow, a squat shining figure, marvelously carved it was, the face — cunning and old as the ages was grinning •up at him — one of the small uplifted hands pointed. Her hands slipped out of his; he reached for the jade god and lifted it, turning it over slowly in his hands. Underneath, where the fat -kneed goblin sat so squat, the jade was smooth except for a cipher or a dent, something that marked it indelibly. Mark ran his finger along the broken surface and felt it. Then he looked at the queer elfin face again and his own face went white. * * * "My God," he said below his breath; "how did it come here — here of all places?"

He had collected himself, but he held the god hard in one of ltfs powerful hands. 'Where did you get this .— thing?" he demanded, and, for the moment, even the girl herself seeth- ed to melt away from the reality of the thing he held! "It's uncle's." She - was shaken by his emotion; she felt the ten- sion, the excitement of his discov- ery. "He wouldn't give it to me — I put it here for — full!".' He looked at her for the first time without seeming to be aware of her; his face was so white that his eyes looked black. "Where's your uncle?" he asked excitedly. "He ought to be here soon. It's late now for him," she glancee•d to- . ward the window, * * Mark, holding the jade god in his hands, looked down at her and seemed to collie to himself. "I must see your uncle," he said gravely. The girl's eyes traveled from his face to the ugly green jade god in his hands, "That's the key to something," she said excitedly, "I see that! Will it — help you?" "It will if your uncle will tell. me about it — tell me where he got it. I know when — I know almost to a minute about thatl" She rose and came over to him, touching it in his hands, wonder in her eyes. "It has always held me — was this why?" Ile did not touch her; he knew that elle cared; but she !night have been wrapped in fire, he would ne- ver take her in his arsos until he was cleared! But his eyes held hers. "If you hear hard things of rate, Unbelievable things, will you trust me? Will you believe in me?" he demanded passionately,: "Can 'you — believe in me, Pam?" * * * It' was the first time he had spo- ken hes- name thus, and she was touched by it, It had a new sound on his lips, he made it a symbol of love — the love he could not claim, "I'11 believe in youl" she smiled back -bravely, but her eyes were wet with tears;' she suddenly saw his hands again and now she un- derstood — they were the hands of . a prisoner, knotted with work! They were still standing thus, looking at each other, when there was the stir of an .arrival in tite hall. Mark -looked at her question- ingly; she nodded; "It's Uncle—and Aunt Lynn," Something like triumph carie into his face; he gripped the jade god in one powerful hand, the other fell at his side, clenched. "You're going to ask him now?" the girl breathed, She was only vaguely aware of the thing it meant to him, but she knew that it had some deep significance. IIe nodded, They were standing together on the hearth rug, the light of the lamp cast a soft glow behind them, out- lining them. They stood waiting. They were still waiting silently when Mrs. Lynn came rustling in and, behind her, a little bowed about the shoulders, looking a little older, the millionaire himself. Mrs, Lynn, seeing the two, exclaimed. 'Why; Pamela; 1 thought you were out! Mr, Byrom, please touch that light -switch behind you, I hate gloom!" Burleson laughed a little harshly. "Butterflies like light," he remarked humorously, smiling at his sister- in-law, isterinlaw, - Pain, I want some tea—" her, aunts began, and then she stopped.

"Why, Ivfz. Byram'" * 414 - Mark Mark did not seem to hear her. He walked slowly over to the lib- racy table where Burleson stood, and the older man, searching his face in the new strong light, did not move, 1 -le seemed suddenly to see soinething in it that held hint. Mark came nearer and opened his hands. In the hollow of his palms the jade god squatted :like a toad. Burleson stared at it and stared up at the young ratan. He apparently linked the two by some chain 'of circumstances, and the age in his own face deepened, the lines grew sharp, his eyes dulled. The two wo-, men watched them, lira, Lynn in amazement, Pam with a beating heart. It seemed eons before Mark spoke. I know,this thing," he said slow- ly; "it has a curious mark under- neath—see?" He turned it over, holding it close to Burleson. "Will you tell the when it ,carate to you?" * *. Burleson's hands clenched, he grew grayly white, then, suddenly, that red streak ran up between his eyebrows to his hair. The effect was ghastly. Mrs. Lynn caught Patty's wrist in clutching fingers and whispered: "Send that man away—your un- cle's going .to have a fill" Her voice was only a murmur, but it broke the spell that held them —staring at the jade god. "Will you tell mei" Mark re- peated, in his deep voice, "you know- me, Mr. Burleson?" "Yes," he said slowly, "I know you nowt" As he spoke he took an unsteady step forward and laid one hand upon a chair. "Then—tell rate!" Mark demand- ed hoarsely; "help me that much nowl" and he followed the older man, holding out the mocking god. Burleson turned and lookecl back at him. Ile was breathing hard; suddenly a fire leaped' into his eyes, he stretched out his shaking hand, seized the god and flung it with all his force into the corner, It struck the edge of the greatmantel, slant- ed, spun like a top against the brass fender and fell, broken in a thou- sand pieces on the floor.

I. remember when 5011Bob and - his life-long chum were in High school, the chum developed a girl complex. Bob didn't—at least not at that time— So there he was at a loose end and had to find other interests—not so easy after two boys have gone their way together for so long, both in the sante form ,all through school; both interested in,the same !lobbies, the sante darts. Such a dilemma may well mean a boy's first lesson in adjustment to •changing con- ditions in lift. A boy's family can do much at such a time to bridge the gap by creating other interests and encouraging new friendships. But it has to be done unobstrusively —an adolescent boy is like a young colt and will shy away from any obvious means to help hint meet a difficult situation. Bob survived the ordeal and now young John is going through the same experience—losing his chum to a girl. But he already has some- thing to take his mind off his troubles. A ' gramophone—no less!
