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.

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.

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- lieved him guilty. Covertly now he studied him; a gray face, a worn. old man, grown mightily prosper- ous, but not happy; he had lost 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?" (To Be Continued) "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.

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 AWAITING ORDERS Like thousands of our boys on the western front, this alert soldier awaits orders before moving tank further forward. J we did -but we can at least recog- nise the other person's right to differ from us without getting peeved about it So, in this new, year, wouldn't it be a good idea to thinlc, not so much about whit . It may hold in store for us but rather of what we have in store for, - it. Tho former is beyond our con- trol; the latter is something else again. Incidentally we night: learn to accept present conditions witha good grace. Do you know I heard of one person who sent an order to a mail-order house for over one hundred -dollars worth of goods. • The order when filled amounted to a little over seven -fifty!
