"Eountess, may, 1 present Mrs.

Mary Kate _saw two lean, dark,
rather sickly looking women facing
her. They were exactly alike, except
for. a difference of some nineteen
years. Both wore shabby, ornate
dresses - eutt extremely low, and dark,
Scrambled hair. Both wore elaborate,
jewelry,,and he vy ear -rings.
"What do you say?" the older asked
sharply, with an instant and astonish-
ed glance from the host to'Chriatoph-

Rate.
"My wife," histopher said. "Didn't
you get my announceinent?"
"You are married?" the senior
countess asked blankly.
"A month ago, Countess. Was it
not, dear?" Christopher asked Mary
Kate.
"Five weeks!" she answered redden-
ing, but courageous. "It was the
twenty-third,"
"You are married?" the European
woman asked again, frowning.
"Suddenly," Christopher said.
"Bot :bot I do not understand,"
said Coantess Yarnowska. "She is

of -hair and skin, and :he folds of the

"Oh-twneet" . Her, voice *as rich

"I'm very proud Of my wife!". he
said, with, a sly sidewise glance.
Her,color Fished up; but else spoke
with composure.
"Now that we're this far into it,
it's all tight. But alt, of a sudden it
seems to me a perfectly crazy thing
to do!"
"I -don't knot, why." There was a
little telephone en the table near him,
to indicated .it idly. "You could call
your mother on that, and be talking
o her in half a minute." •
"Yes, I thought of that!"
"You see, there ate lots of things
that girls couldn't do, generations ago,
hat the can do now. For instance,
suppose you .neatly were going op a
trip from the office," Christopher mo-
red, "and some perfectly personable
Dung man -sono nen who might ease
ly be in love with you, was sent along
u. That situation u)ust be constant -
y occurring-"
"Oh, it is!" Mary Kate agreed eag-
erly, as he paused, feeling more and
more comfortable every' minute.
"You and he dine-togeteer on the
rain, perhaps *take a trip of several
ays, at hotels and an trains," the
an pursued, "without anyone thin-
g the less of you!"
"Yes, I know. Just the same,"
ary Irate said franily, "i£ my moth -

"She'll never get on to it."
"Not if I, can help ltd"

"We'd

She reflected, and he had an oppor- 1
unity to study unobserved the slim
lo
body in the ivory satin, the
oughtfully dropped coppery heats,
e beauty of the white bare shoulders
nd bare throat. )
"Suppose we say February---twen

"We can remntber it by that. And s

"By the way, have you a handker-
hef? s
"Yes. That's-." she said, with the 'o
dden sapphire smile that lighted her a
ole classic face. "That's the only 1
art of my trousseau that I bought b

She waved it, a filmy bit of veiling
sed with deep delicate lace.
'It was two dollars," she confessed. C

These are your violets. I thought of

began happily to investigate the silky
tissues. "But vital that gown I'm glad
it's violets."

sniffed deeply,
"Oh, smell those -did you ever smell
anything 50 delicious?" the staid, mak-

She stood up and watched herself in

The touch of royal purple was the
last one needed, with the ivory satin,
the blazing hair, and the old pearls.
"I'll tell you frankly -why shouldn't

He jerked himself into his own light NI

"Exactly like a. movie!" thought
Mary Kate, in a every rapture over
her- gown and flowers, her jewels and
furred coat, her slippers, her escort,
as -they went out to the car.
She spoke very little on the milt
drive.. Christopher completed his in-
structions.
"Now, remember, we have to take
this with a rush. They wont suspect,
unless we do' something raw, and we've
simply got to be careful. Just keep
thinking -how utterly indifferent you'd

"Poor 81111" Thought George -But'

ca. For: George having saved care,
fully, had distinct Ideas.absent a Big

his brains and energy -as proud as
B111 Was oe his youngsters, new, with
the addition of the latest arrival, four
in number.
In writing to. announce the happy
eVent, Bill voiced an invitation,
"Why," he wrote, "don't- you take.a
holiday soon,. you beastly Yankee mil-
lionatre,and: come over and stay with
us? ' What 'Ke' call the English sum-
mer.
um
neer will -have -rained itself into edice
in about four months, and by that tulle
Betty will have driiled'the neiv arrival,
and the Ionise, back to some kind of
discipline.
"Come over and see what an ass
you've been in thinking that scramb-
ling for dollars is more fun than build-
ing up bappiness on the shoulders of

convinced' that you wear hairy trous-
ers and an expression of Cold Fur-
pode. He read that expression on a
movie sub -title, and as I don't know
what It *leans, you might come -to the
assistance of a harassed and untravel-
led father."
George, thought: "Dear old, simple-
minded Bill! Marvellous ,tow a don-
inating woman can make a simpleton
out of a bright, keen chap in a few,
years. If he's as satisfied as ho
sounds, ho • can't have made any
money -bragging about his happiness
too much"
With which' comforting conclusion
George gave his mind once more to
the care of his own healthy business
concerns, buil in four months' time he
set about handing them over to com-
petent assistants. Bill's sugestiou had
set a seed in his mind, which bad
grown an ow
d flowered s the days la pass-
ed.
y9
It would be rather nice to see the
Old Country again -clear, slow old
England, as simple and gentle as 8111
himself.
The business was doing solidly
well, the private bank -account had
grown and multiplied, and a month or
two out of harness could not be count-
ed extravagant -especially as it would
be the first "let-up"" of any extent in
ten years.
So, its the end, George sent a cable,
booked a first-class cabin, and shook
hands with Bill on Waterloo Station
a fortnight later, feeling thoroughly
and warmly contented with himself.
And the contentment increased from
the first moment of than reunion.
Bill's suit was quite a good one, but
it hadn't the style eancl
y cut of George's.
And though Bi11's, grin was the same.
as ever, his blue eyes were a shade
lighter and his voice quite alarmingly
hearty. Bill, indeed, reminded one of
a lovable dog somewhat conscious of
an anemia! brushing -but there was
no getting away frons it, 13111 a -as still
the sane good fellow of ten years ago.
Tins -pondered George as they
pledged their meeting at the station
buffet, arranged matters. of luggage,
and took the Underground for Harrow
Weald. ,

The0small house half a mile up the
lops, unmade 'road was • only dlstin
tinguisbed from the other. small
houses around it by the tremendonsly
newly -washed curtains ' at the ' win -
dews. The six -months -old front gar-
den was as bright as a sergeant -
major's buttons, and the little hall
Within the newly'painted door had the
vaguely surprised air which any welI-
inhabited place has after an intensive
tidying. '
When Bila And Geo)•ge .arrived it
was early evening, but a total
stranger would have known that child-
ren were quietly asleep upstairs.
• Bill's Betty welcomed the distin-
guished, guest George felt 'keenly
that he was a distinguished guest -in
the little front dining -room, and blush-
ed when he kissed her and made the
•obvious kind rot hearty `joke that,
seemed to fit th'e occasion and sur-
roundings. She, was exactly as he had
imagined she would be -her prettinese
washed and remodelled toy th- years,
as her frock had been by the hands
which she held behind her,
They gave him dinner, an extremely
well'cooked and. daintily. served din-
ner, which Betty managed to bring
from the kitchen without .any sort' of
awkwardness, Then Betty cleared
away, disdaining offers 0f help, and
`returned to sip an imaecusterned„ lass
of port before .saying 'good -night" and
leaving Bili with injunctions regard-
ing the guest's comfort when he chose
''to retire.
"You two," she told them, "will
have tons .to' talk about,'So P11 leave
you to it" And With a firfal'senile 'to

George, she departed.

George as the door shut behind her,

He 'swung his chair closer to th

"But he'll lie about it, anyhow," he
told himself, and,,`settletl down to be
interested.

go into the world 'with something of
the sweetness of Bill's eyes blooming '
in their own, .who would -she prayed
-find love and plant fresh seeds in
that infinite garden that she and Bill
had started.
She sighed a little and turned over.
"Poor George,' she mused, "he'ti,find
all the success and money he ever
wants, but he's blind to the greatest
beauty of all the world. •He'll never
know what real happiness is.'
But George, turning into bed less
than ten feet away beyond the wall,
grinned to himself in the darkness.
"Poor BIM" he muttered- " Poor
old Billl Still, I suppose he's happy."
--Answers. • ..
He was.
Bill, having heard all his friend's
adventures, 'launched upon his . own
iwith obvious willingness, Ile wa,s $ti11
n the same shipping ilrm in. which
'they had both been clerks, but now he
was departmental Manager.
"Pay good?" asked George, coming
to the point that really interested him.
33111 smiled a little self-consciously,
"Twenty-five hundred a year," he an-
nounced, and leant back inhis chair,
Plainly pleased that.<America was not
theonly place where money was to -be
made,
"I've been -taking up interest in the
Sri* gradually," he went en, "and next
Year there's going to be a;reorganiza-
tion. Simmonds etas told'me that I'm
going to• get the outside people put
under my control, and hinted-at$3,750.
In fact—" He leant forward and
knocked his 'pipe out against the
grate. "In fact, George. my lad, 911
be making 05,000 in five years' time,
and I've a good idea there's a chance
of a junior partnership."
George said all that should be said,
but mentally he was doing arithmetic.
Clothes for six people and education
for four, to be squeezed out of $2,500
ayearnow, -
with a prospect of $0,000
later on. And he himself was clearing
the equivalent of $50,000 at the mo-
ment -and knew that it wasn't enough
for a fellow who really liked to live
decently and didn't want to stay at
the grintistoue all his life.
Why, even now that he was going
carefully and consotitlating Itis busi-
ness, he spent more than $5,000 on
his apartment, club fee,, and clothes,
back in New 'York, And Bill was
Ing like this -chucking his person-
ality, his life, away in a cheap, euon-
only-hounded scramble for what he
called family happiness with a lot of
howling Icids and a woman who had
definitely faded.
"Whilst I," George told himself, "I
may be al kinds of a foo}, but I have
built something out of myself. And
I'm going to build it bigger."
,Bill shook hands with hint at lots

then into his

said nothing as 13f11 settled down with
a contented little grunt. She was not
asleep, but had been lying thinking,
while the two men had talked down
below,
She was thinking that George had

He: "Sure, It's then that the cider

CANADA'S CLAY RESOURCES
In addition to many other types of
clays Canada has immense resources
of clays and shales suitable for the
manufacture of building brick, and
structural and drain tiles.
• A man has told a magistrate that
he has driven a car all his life, and
never yet knocked anybody down.
There must be something strong with
his approach.
