CHAPTER FOUR
But to reach him through that
crowd of fashionables, to get him
away from Pam, seemed for a
while impossible. Here and there
Landon was greeted by friends and
acquaintances. One woman asked
for Teddy Banks, another—having
heard that the fine looking strang-
er was also a cousin of Landon's—
asked to have Mark brought to her
house.
"He's so interesting," she said;
"so unusual!"
Landon was in a white fury when
he finally got Mark at the door of
the smoking room. It was beyond
the conservatory and the departing

guests had drifted out of it. The : 1
room was empty save for the dis-
solving cloud of cigarette smoke.
Landon beckoned to Mark.
"A word with you!" he said
hoarsely, closing the door; he was
pale with rage.
Mark stood easily, facing him;
there was a splendid vigor about
him that Landon had not seen in
his poor, rough and- ready suit of
clothes. It could not be said that
clothes made the man, but the man
shone radiantly through the clothes,
there was something, about him—
in this house-broken, scented at-
mosphere—splendidly, heathenish-
ly alive. He smiled at Archie's
wrath.
* * *
"You've lost," he said casually;
"I'm asked to dine,"
"I know it," replied Landon
fiercely, "but you won't—you'll go
home I"
"Better take your defeat more
calmly," counselled Mark; "you're
not a good sport"
Landon gasped with anger, "I've
watched you," he said thickly;
"you've trespassed here—you've
dared too much. Now, you'll get
outl"
Mark's eyes "tet his mockingly;
for a moment their glances ground
on each other like crossing steels,
then .he laughed.
"Listen—I've won and I'll stay;
the dinner was the acid test, you
know. Do you think they'd like
you for trying to cheat them? If
you drive me out, I'll tell them
what you did—we'll go together."
Landon whitened yet more.
"You've got to go," he raged; "I'll
make you,—you paid imposter!"
* * *
Mark swung around in pagan
fury; he seized hint and shook
him. Landon was big, but in the
other's hands he might have been
a reed. Mark threw him aside like
a helpless puppy; then he slapped
the money, five hundred dollars,
down on the table.
"Take it, there's the price; lt's
infamous, unthinkable; I repud-
iate itl I'll stay because I'm asked;
because I will! Go out there and
tell your story—if she believes It
Mrs. Lynn will show you the
door!"
Landon knew it; he reeled un-
steadily on his feet; he saw stars,
Ids face was ghastly. He struck
the money fiercely and flung it in
the fire. As the flame caught it
and the costly smoke went up he
heard Mark's tormenting laugh.
"Tell them, you've played a
mean trick on your hostess; you've
done a thing no gentleman should
do; a thing to damn you socially;
go and tell her! You'll suffer. I'll
stay," said he with sudden passion,
his eyes flashing their flame at
Landon, "I'll stay—and you can't
put me out—the wager's wont"
* * *,
Mark. Grant kept his word. He
stayed. In the first flush and ex-
ultation of his love for Pam he.
would have walked through fire
to stay. But he had no such or-
deal; Landon had felt his fingers
on his shoulder; the cinch of them
had left the young man's muscles
sora He wanted no more of that.
He gnawed his rage in silence. He
saw that he was trapped.. If he
told the truth to get Grant out, he
would go out himself in disgrace.
Strange to say, he had not thought
of that, he had it to digest while
he watched Mark's triumph at the
dinner. This strange fellow; this
heathen with iron fists, whoever
he was, had found his tongue; he
talked well. Not of travel and ad-
ventures, Landon noticed,. but of
life. He had a horribly lucid in-
sight; he saw through people's
motives, and he was well read, No
one could question that. He had
caught Burleson's interest— the
great man, usually wearied and
self-absorbed, listened• to him with
;narked attention, studied hien, too,
Landon thought, as if he searched
his memory for that face.
* * * As for Pam, she sat next to
Mark and looked up at him with
wide, fascinated eyes. He was "so
different," that was what all the
women thought, Mrs. Lynn, who
liked a new lion first at her table;
smiled across at Archie Landon.
Her look said plainly: "Thank you;
he's delightftil1" And Archie gnaw-
ed again upon the bone of his
wrath. Flow to get him out—that
was the question. Mark, knowing

The atmosphere of the place was
like a hot -house, fragrant and
warm—the glow of shaded tights—

defiance at Landon melted in
Pam's shining glance. What right
had he, an ex -convict, .to sit be-
side her, to touch her ]rand, to
look into her eyes? A kind of fever
seized him; once or twice it was
in his mind to rise and shout the
truth at then. Then Burleson held
hint from it—one of the men who
had helped send hint to prison;
who, no doubt, like Fosdick, be-

his wife and three sons; riches
alone weighed upon him. Did he
ever think of the boy he had help-
ed send to prison? It gave Mark
a kind of impish satisfaction to sit
at his table, only he wanted to
shout his name at him—to defy
him. Then Mrs. Lynn addressed
him, smilingly.
"Mr. Byram, I want to ask you
about Stella Byram's wedding.
Were- you there by any chance?"

"What a Christmas
Present"! - His Wife
"Holy Smokes!" yelled Sgt. Jo-
seph Waldt, -"What a Christmas
present"
The "present" was his wife from
Baltimore, Md. She walked into
his hospital room and it was the
first time he had seen her in three
years.
Mrs. Waldt was a gift from a
group of Tulsa people -who had
earned Joe's story.- The sergeant
had been wounded in France and
sent to an Oklahoma Army hospi-
tal to convalesce. His wife missed
him in New York and she was a

and sent her a stack' of $10 bills for
expenses. A delegation met her at

her and took her to Joe.

CHRONICLES
of GINGER FARM

Gwendollne P. Clarke
Well now, have you got all those
"thank you" letters written; the
tree and all the Christmas decor-
ations taken down, and your New
Year resolutions made? If you have
then you have done better than I
but 'then it is only New Year's eve
with me so I have hardly had a
chance yet.
* * *
But I have been thinking about
the new year and how best we can
stake use of it. Don't you think we
often let these winter months slip
by without making as much use of
them as we might? May and June,
with all the work that early sum-
mer brings, is right with us before
we can turn around, and it some-
times finds us with jobs that could
very easily have been done on cold
winter dyas. What about those
housedresses and aprons, those
school dresses for the kiddies, and
the light -weight underwear that
ma; lie we didn't have time to mend
before it was put away. It is a
great time too, for housecleaning
drawers, cupboards and closets,
isn't it? And of course, som of
you will do just as I do—put things
away so. carefully you never find
them again!
And then there arc letters to
write; and maybe there are friends
we have neglected . the new
year is a grand time to check up
en our sins of omission—and per-
haps clear up a few misunderstand-
ings. There are times when the
best of us give, or take offence,
when no offence was ever intended.
I had an instance of this just re-
cently. A few months ago when I
was in Toronto I phoned a friend
with whom I correspond—not fre-
quently but enough to keep us in
touch with one another, She ans-
wered my phone call that day and
-her voice just about froze me.
"Well," I thought, "so that's that!'
But at Christmas time I got a let-
ter—my friend had been in a bad
way for months—nervous break-
down, I imagine, and she said "It
is taking me quite awhile to gath-
er up the broken threads—especial-
ly those of friendship—will you
write and let us renew our friend-
ship even if we cannot see each
other very often."
That letter has already been ans-
wered hut had my friend not writ-
ten how easily we could have drift-
ed further and still further apart.
* *
Life is too short for misunder-
standings; too fleeting for us to
bear a grudge for fancied wrongs.
In our friendships, in our family
circle and ino ur
o social life,
couldn't we learn to be a little
more tolerant? We cannot all think
alike—it would be a dull world if
