It was more the tone than the quer-
Ion that astonished Wiltshire,
"No." he replied rather blankly.
"It's because we took their money
and their mines and everything they
tad away from them."
"We? Who?"
"Our tawny -my father. Oh, duke.' 1

hand of robbers. When 1 .think of the

"Tell me about it," he said soothing-

"I know, but I can't help it. It's like
kt kind of jealousy in me -a jealousy
for his honor that 1 thought so far

The duke's mouth twitched with a
queer, significant expression,while a
look of pity stole into bis dull eyes.
"Thi: Miss' WinshIp's father wasmy
fntber's competitor, and my father
crnshecl him and ruined him and killed
hits. Ile died in the middle of all sorts
of lawsuits, and then my father ruined

She did not finish thesentence, and
Wiltshire, leaning toward per, laid his.

"Dear Paula," he whispered, "could,

manage It together?"
She did not withdraw her hand from
his touch but .tbe eyes she lifted to
-
ward him were full of the mute appeal
of an animal begging to be let off..
"You've never answered my clues -
tion -my great question," he went on;
tenderly.
"I"ve been trying to,". she managed
to say, .
"And you don't find it easy?"
She shook her head, letting her eyes
tall again.
"But you've been making the ef-
fort?'
"Yes," she murmured, justa ndibly.
"And it's been a great of oit?"
"Yes,'"
"So great, in fact, that you don't feel
the strength to make It?"
"I'm trying to," she said hurriedly..

"You want to? In what way?"

"It wouldn't be a sacrifice if '1 could;
" do those two things," she stammered
• on.
"That is," he corrected, "not so great
a sacrifice but that you could make it"
.. She nodded her assent, A few sec-
ends passed in silence when Wiltshire
slowly withdrew his hand and sat
erect.
"I've hurt youi" Paula cried, turning
sharply toward: him, "That isn't what
I meant to say. You haven't under-
stood ane. I'm ready to be your wife
if it will make you happy. Indeed,
I'm ready. You . don't know how 1

"Oh, • yes, I do," he broke in, with a
wan smile, "I only thought that per-
haps it might be possible, after all, for
a woman to do a little more than hon-
or 'me. and think me" -

CHAPTER VI.
" 'M going to do it, Latera," Paula
whispered us ,they approached
the luncheon table, "1 mean the
portrait, I've got • his address,
and I'm going this afternoon."
There was no time to say more. for
Mrs. Trafford entered the room, fol-
lowed by George Trafford •.and little
Paul. .
There had been several reasons for.
their return to 'Paris in the early flays
of February. The protracted absence
of Mr. Trafford in'Germany and ltus-
.via Was the one they spoke of openly.
.The duke's silent departure from Monte
Carlo, taking the spirit out of their
little. band, 'was a subject they men-
. tioned to one another only when Paula
was hot there. The sudden anxiety of
Mrs. Trafford about her own health
and her baste to see a doctor in Paris
were matters that they dared not dis-
cuss at all.
"Where's everybody going this after-
noon?" Bits. Trafford demanded it half
hour .later with a briskness which her
eo rag a enabled her to mai
u g b !Main. •
Paula knew the moment had come
end nerved herself to reply in her
usual tone.
"I can't go, mother, dear," site said
ns calmly as she could. "I've got to
see about, sittings for a portrait I'm
going to have pninted."
It seemed to Paula as if her commoft.
plate words tell with curious slolemul•
ty on the stillness of the room. She
knew that in spite of herself she tease
coloring,
....George l refford took his gu ll' froth;
tris .hpal and looked round at ber over
his shoulder.
"You seem to be lost in admiration
of yourself, Paula," be observed. "You
bad a portrait last year by Garolus
Partin and one by Chartranthe year
before. Whoa your man. Paula?
live us an Americanthis time, won't
yon? Say Sargent or some of those"'
tallows.
"Ile is an American,* Paula gentled,
"but he isn't Sargent. Ile's..a new
r
paIn to , 1 believe he has remarkable
talent. We spoke of hint one night at
Monte Carlo. You told me about him,
George. Ills name is YV1nsbiP-
"
Mrs, Trafford gave a tittle scream
and let her coffee cup fall with a crash
ou the floor.
"Paula Trafford," she cried, "if you
to it me,do ituow- Don't let
want killt n t It
be by inebesl"
"Yon do beat everything, Fanta, her
cousin observed grimly, "for gettiug
things on the brain. I'll bet 50 cents
that you've beim turning those Win -
ships over in your head even since the
subject came up two or three weeks
ago."
"Lady Alice knows them," Paula
stammered in excuse. "She says he's
wonderful--aud he isn't recognized-
and his mother Is blind -and they're,so
poor• -and"-
"toodness knows," Mrs. Trafford ex-
postulated, "there are plenty of _poor
people in the world tvlthotit hunting
up your own father's enemies: 1 don't
believe the portrait is anything but a
pretest for:'--
"Even
or "l.ven so. Aunt Trafford. dear," Mrs,
George interrupted In her reasduable
tone, "don't yen think it's just what
Uncle Trafford -would like? Haven't
you known him time and time again to
turn round oli the beaten and the bit-
ter and the sore and hold out the help
lug hand to them? Is there any one
who knows better than he how to take
the sting from hostility? And isn't it
Part of the responsibility of wealth"
"01), you needn't tell mel", firs. Traf-
ford gasped impatiently. Sbe disliked
so,much having the higher way point-
ed out to her by Mrs. George that she
often hurried in advance to take it. "I
know better than any one what he is
and the sort of example he sets- us.
If to return good for evil is the motto
of his life, 11 may well be that of ours.
Paula. my child," she added, with ti
quick change of (rout, "if it be your
will to help 'these. people, .do it. 1
withdraw all objection. If you like
I'll pay for the portrait. I believe it
would please your father. though I
think we'd better 'not say anything
about it. Yes, l will riay.for it. I don't
care what it costs."-'
"Thank you,' mother, .dear," Paula
said, rising, eager to escape now that.
ber point was gained. "I'd rather pay
for it myself."
'"All . I beg 'of you," Mrs. Trafford
cried as Paula .left the .room, "is not
to bring the young' man here."
• "But where can 1 have -my sittings?"
Paula questioned from the doorway..
"Where you. like. •IIave_thern in the
Louvre or is Notre Dante or anywhere:
else. you please, bat .don't `bring the
young roan here. .1. should faint if 1
saw .him. .Take .a Maid with you,
take two maids, take ten maids if you
will. but. don't=•bring-the young rasa
here." .
"Do .you think that's Wise?" Tref-,
ford • questioned: But Paula was al-
.ready out of hearing.
Half an hour later. her coupe turned
from the Rue Mazarin into the ung-.
row Paissage de. In Nativite and
stopped before an ancient fortress -like
gate. Traces of •reuttissance sculpture
were visible on the battered stone;
while in a niche over the portal stood

in which poverty can take. refuge and.

Paula, picking her way across the •
court toward the 'entrance' the con- .
cierge had pointed out, everything
about. her seemed opplessiyely ancient.
•it iitts•Picturesq. ue enough -in a mourn -
NI way it was 'even • stately -but • to
think of any ono actually living there
made her shudder. The \Vinships
themselves were •well couten,t to have
discovered Ili the heart of the city so
charming a retreat, while Paula could
•think only or outcasts seeking abetter
anions broken. empty tombs.'
Now that she was here she bad none
of the nervousness or tlutteting_ of the
heart from which she had often .sal-.
fered in thinking the matter over. On
the contrary,, in het' velvet and sables
she felt herself, Imposing. • The etlse

to surprise the: young artist, but such
surprises were generally boring by their
recipients with good grace. For ev

ill,+laity, tact' and knowledge 'of the
world.
The entry was so dark and the slip
Dory stairs were so steep that on the
tending Paula waited for minute be•
side a window to take breath.
As she gazed outward she rehearsed
once more the first few .phrases she
should use to Winship.' Suddenly She
seemed to hear music -the faint tin-
kling of an air with which She was
familiar. When she turned from the
window to go up thesseeond flight of
stairs the sounds became more dis-
tinot,
Presently she heard a voice singing-.
l woman's voice, sweet and in tune,
but thin and worn. like the tone bf thta
old piano "on which ' OM shim* ;' was
playing her acfompanhnent. Once On
the landiug Paula could' bear the words
quite plaluiy;.
"O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and tor-

%Virile she was ready to deal with Win-
ship bi;nself, she bad not counted on
finding herself face to face with aha
women of his family. But, tie yhe was
not mistaken. It was the .door. The
card ou it bore the name "Winship"
She was half inclined: 'to turn away
when a high pitched, quavering; voice
arrested her attention.
"'['hank you, Murah, dear. That's

When it Gomes to Pie Madam
Words Fail Us
Even in the long ago when the preacher' said "Dearly Beloved",.
even then did we tickle our fancy with the greedy thought that
he really meant --PIE. •
For pie, in each of its myriad varieties, is the grand wind-up to a
joy spread, the last act of a play with a happy ending.
Do you'make good pie, Madam --pie that is pie.? Do YOU ?
Says the eminent editor of
the New York Sun
"The apex of a wedge of pie
"is the alluring overture to a
"crescendo of a delight tuhich.
"reaches its climax in the
"crust end", and as this
"crust becomes part of oneself
"one knows what pie is for."
"The "crust end” is the fatal
"cause of pie itself, its raison
" d'dtre, the solution of the
"blissfull riddle, why is pie."
But the crust is made of flour, you
know, and FIVE ROSES is a won-
de,ful flour for pie crust, and puff
paste, aud such like.
• e e e;• •
Because, Mistress Housewife. FIVE
ROSES makes your paste close
grained, even of texture and eating
qualities.
With a delicate, indescribable fla-
vor, sweet as a nut, tender and rich
in color and appearance,
;f you should make such pies,
Madam, with the IliVE ROSES

Then watch the hungry wedges

To say nothing of the surreptitious
