You know, deep in your heart, .whether you have real talent, whether you can do what you strive to do. I cannot answer you, that answer.” And Linda for she knew was to 'be her Fpy you alone know would be comforted, s’he had talent and it answer to her critics! Morris Suspects Beitagnon morning. Her divorce was to come up sometime Monday. She must be on time, for there was a lot of cere­ mony about the French courts, Linda was aghast. With only three more precious days, with hundreds of details to attend to, with “dress rehearsals’’ at Roget’s and finally at the concert hall, she must up most of Monday. give Early in January she had had a letter from Clayton Morris asking her to go to .his own representative in Paris about her divorce. “I don’t like this fellow Bertag1- non. Pay him off, and let Weyer over in the Equitable Trust Build­ ing lianle the affair if you still feel you want a divorce.” When Linda got that thought about the whole days. Then she wrote His answer reached her was ill. “I want what you want, Linda,” he wrote. “If it will make you happy, that is all I ask.” If Linda had hoped for another kind of let­ ter, she did not admit it to herself. The first visit Linda made when (her cold got 'better was to Weyer. It “was a relief to talk to an American - and he agreed to handle Bertagnon. “How did you get mixed up with ■him?” Weyer asked. “Who sent you to him!” “Hasn’t he a good reputation?” Weyer smiled. “I hardly think so. although there is nothing definite But he preys on wealthy Americans and I suppose he thought you were fair prey.” Linda did not answer Weyer’s question. She could not bring her­ self to speak of Miklos. The bill for Bertagnon’s services staggered Lin­ da. It was $5,000 and Weyer ad­ vised her to pay for it. “If you don’t, there will be a law­ suit, a lot of bad publicity, and he will probably win in the end. You are well rid of him before he got you into trouble one, way or another.” So Linda paid.

As they walk­ ed over to the old court, Linda want­ ed to run away. “I don’t want a said suddenly. “You don’t have child," Weyer said den-tly he was accustomed to last-minute change of mind. “I don’t mean that, really, just panic-stricken!” Linda clung to Weyer’s arm. There was a long wait. Weyer told her there would be only the Judge and his clerks in the court­ room. That helped. At last Weyer let her go in before the Magistrate. Although Linda understood French very well, the unfamiliar legal terms confused her and she was not sure what they were saying. Weyer translated for her whisper. Then there were ■, signed. In a short ! over. Linda fought to keep • the tears, for there were 1 officials about. pered about that she was the fam­ ous Laird heiress. “I feel as though I’d just come through an appendicitis operation,” Linda gasped when Weyer put her into a taxi. “And I’d like to -cable Mr. Winthrop.” “I’ll take .you .back to my office and I’ll send it off from there," he promised. “There are some . more papers to sign. Maybe, on second thought, I’ll telephone Morris. I should be able to get him at his office.” “As you think best.” Linda could not see Spring scene about her as they bowled along to •of the large ballrooms of the CrillOn.

Plans tor the Concert Karl’s concert was set for early , in April. It was to he held in erne For Roget was important ^enough with musical folks in Paris to make the debut nf one of his pupils a com- maud performance. As the day approached, Linda ■was so nervous she could not sleep and she ate little. Karl was wor­ ried about her, afraid she could not go through with it. In fact Linda’s panic had communicated itself to Karl. ‘‘Suppose she bieaks down and can’t accompany me!” Karl demand­ ed of Roget. “She’ll ruin me!” The old man grinned. “I’m glad she’s nervous. A good sign, boy. er of I’m frequently in a papers to be half hour it was back- curious It had been- whis- The Final Rehearsal my You’re worse than she is. And you’ll both come through magnif­ icently. You’d better. I demand it!” And Roget glared back at Karl. But between the two of them Ro­ get had a bad time of it. He babied them, cajoled and raged by turns. And they took his bullying, grateful ■for anything which took their minds off their music. But they got thro’ the days somehow. And the day the proofs of the programs, came from the printers, they went out and celebrated, the three of them, with dinner at the Lapin Agile. They plopped the proofs up against the basket of bread sticks and read them aloud solemnly. “So I’m Mary Marx. Do you think anybody will notice? That they will recognize me?” “Of course not!” Roget pliatic. “You see, you are less unimportant in this show, just Karl’s accompanist, who does one of his concertos. The spotlight will all be on Karl!” “The people you know here in Paris are not the kind who come to my concerts!” Roget remarked, and Linda knew he spoke the truth. Linda had chosen- an inconspicu­ ous white evening frock from her Wardrobe to wear on the important night. It was well cut. comfortable and would not call attention to her too much, she felt. Roget had chosen Tuesday night for the’ concert. By the preceding Saturday iLilida was beside herself. As she was practising in the morning she received a message from Weyer. She was to be in- his office Monday was em- more or TO® When she reached Roget’s studio h*er eyes were read with weeping, •but be th he and Karl were too en­ grossed in the morrow’s big event to notice. Linda threw off her hat, sat down, to the piano. They were to go over Karl’s opening numbers, Linda for­ got the day’s troubles in the music. But she felt she had never played so baldy. Once Karl, in his impatience put down his violin and paced up and down the floor. “She doesn’t get it right in there” He paced up and down the floor belligerently. Roget tried to restore peace. Linda, ashamed, held her hands to Karl. “This means even more to than it does to you, Karl, for got to make good! I’ve just got to! I won’t fail you, I promise.” Mollified, a little ashamed, Karl came back to the piano. “I’m sorry! I’m just jumpy, that’s all.” Later, when- they went to the con­ cert hall for a rehearsal, she experi­ mented with the piano there. It was 10 o’clock before anybody thought about dinner. out me I’ve Linda’s Dream Late that night, when Linda got home, there was a cable waiting on her dressing table. Odette had it there so she would be sure to it. It was from Keith. “Best of ways.” Linda let her fingers luck and happiness put see al- the message slip out of onto the floor. She sat there a long time, staring at it. How like Keith! He’d cabled in answer to that telephone call, of course. Wearily Linda went to bed. There were no more tears—only trouble­ some thoughts. “But I’ve got to sleep; I’ve to be able But sleep and, when she and Iris and Keith were stand- ti just got to, if I’m going to play tomorrow night.” was a long time coming; it did, Linda dreamed How You May Get Rid of Painful BoilsThose When boils start to break out it 1* an evidence the blood is clogged up with Im­ purities and requires to be thoroughly purified by a good blood medicine.

Try iti Tuesday was bright and clear beautiful Paris April. Linda opened her eyes and it was late, for Odette had let her sleep as. long as possible, Now that the day ot the concert was here, Linda wondered what She would do with herself until night. Roget had ordered her to keep away from the piano. “You’ll get stale, just like an athlete. You’ve been too close to it for too long. Get up and get out for a ride in the park, do anything but try and keep your mind off the concert." That (had been Roget’s orders. It was only 10 o’clock, Linda counted on her fingers. Eight hours to go through. Hardly eight. “Odet­ te will do my nails and my hair this afternoon. Then a light supper and dress. I’ve about five hours to kill, somehow, some way,” if there -were onlj’ some one to talk to, some one who didn’t know about the concert, or about music, or about Keith. ‘Linda hurried and dressed.

Then she walked on down to the Arc de Triumph. She liked to1 watch the fire burning always at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Suddenly somebody cried out “Linda." 'Linda halted for an instant, mus­ tering all her forces, Standing be­ fore her was Ruth Wells, who had been a debutante the season before Linda cam© out, Under the girl’s arm was the morning paper and Linda knew full well what was in it.

Laird had just -heard about the divorce—Keith had called her. “I’m going to send Jimmie over to bring you home.” Mrs. Laird con­ tended. “When this blows over. It seems to me there’s always some­ thing I’ve got to wait, for with-my family. Jimmie got into a bad au­ tomobile accident yesterday, Linda. No, he’s all right, but he ran into another car and the man driving is huit badly. It was terrible. They, are trying to say Jimmie was d-runk It is ridiculous.” Her mother had talked excitedly. “Now keep away from reporters. I am hoping there’s nothing in the papers about the divorce until this stuff about Jimmie dies down. Everything will be all right, but it’s been- terrible, Jimmie is so upset I feel so sorry for the poor boy.” Through the squawking -and shrieking on the line Linda had dif­ ficulty finding out just what had happened to Jimmie, but finally her mother managed to- make her un­ derstand. “You’re sure Jimmie’s all right,” Linda demanded. “Of course. Just but Mr. (Morris is thing. It is going money—” As Linda talked, to gesticulate to- her. Somebody was at the door. “It’s a man from the American newspaper,” Odette said. Linda groaned. So they’d found out so soon. “Tell them I’m out in the country for a weeki,” Linda whispered. All this time Linda’s mother from across the Atlantic was screaming at her. “Cant you hear me? Can’t you hear me?” “Yes, yes, mother, but there’s a reporter here,” Linda tried to her voice low. “I don’t want to hear me.” “Why did you let him in house?” Mrs. Laird demanded. “I didn’t. He’s at the door.” “What kind of a place do you live in that they can hear you talking at at door?’ Linda was on the verge of tears, “I’ll call you tonight at midnight. Paris time, mother. Please, not now. I’ll call you then.” After that she hung, up the ceiver. time, door, voice be knew what 'she looked like. Then the telephone rang, did not answer.

Linda would have liked to talk to ;her’, hutr'that would 'have meant difficulties explanations and evasions. , Still clutching t-he parcel, Linda came back to tile apartment. The young man was still waiting, Linda walked boldly past him and into- the house. When she got into the tiny elevator, she rode only to the third floor and walked up the other two, in case he was below, Odette got a light supper for Lin­ da at 5 and then, they began the task of dressing. Linda was ready at .seven. Roget and Karl were to. call for her slwrt- ly^after the hour. They must be in ample time for the •‘big event. While she waited, Linda ran over some simple songs, played snatches of the concerto, ,but tried to relax and amuse herself at the piano. Only the firelight lighted the room. When the two men arrived, Linda wiatod for them, smiling. Neither had ever seen Linda in .an evening dress.

Not only; does the potato furnish con­ siderable nutriment but supplies it in an easily digestible form, because the sitarch in potatoes is more read­ ily digested, than the stanch of some other stanch- producing foods. The mineral contained in potatoes is rel­ atively larger in proportion to other foods.
