"I thought better of him than that!” he said to himself bitingly. "Assumed name—making love to a girl! Always thought him guilty, but he was a boy and the old man may have been provoking; was mighty provoking somtimes. Now be's a man—no excuse at alit I ought to tell Burleson; she's his . niece," He suddenly decided to go clown to the great Trust Company build- ing where Burleson held sway. Fos- dick had been doing a little busi- ness for him and Burleson had tele- phoned several times for him to come. over and close it up. * * Burleson was affable; he wanted to see him, he said about the Grant Barton estate. Fosdick almost laughed; he had come about Mark Grant. For fifteen years the execu- The Jade God By MARY IMLAY TAYLOR Getting you down? Fight it this way... Dor let cold misery hang on. Drag you down.

"He's out." Burleson was perceptibly star- tled. "Since when?" "Four or five weeks I think- maybe more." Fosdick drummed on the table with his fingers; he was considering whether he would tell Burleson all about it or not. "He came here to get his aunt's money; you remember she left him about twenty thousand — more or less." Burleson shook his tread; he had shifted his chair a little and lay back in It now, thinking. "He hasn't thought of claiming Barton's money yet, has he?" "He says he won't until he's cleared," Fosdick's smile widened. "Cleared?" Burleson did not smile. "The deuce! Does he ex- pect to clear himself after fifteen years?" "He probaby knows he can't be cleared at all," Fosdick replied af- fably "and he's talking bluff!" "But he hasn't tried to get that money," Burleson persisted. "Oh, he will!" Fosdick retorted testily; "of course he wills" There was a long pause and then Burleson said flatly: "I think he should have it," Fosdick looked at him thought- fully, something like a twinkle in his eye, "I didn't know you liked him. You testified against him, Burleson," "That's neither here nor there," said the great man bluntly; "he was seventeen, wasn't he? What's he like now?' * * * i'osdick considered. "He's big, good looking; got a snap to hint. You wouldn't know him. I advised him to go West." Burleson podded.

"The West is the }test place for him; he can live it down out there Fifteen years, isn't it? By Jove!" Burleson drew a long breath, "it's a slice out of any man's lifel" Burleson swung back in his chair, staring out of the window. "Look here," he said slowly, "if he needs a little help—you understand?' A fresh start. I don't want my name used, but I'll give it to hila." Fosdick stared. Then he laughed dryly. "Would you like to see him at your house?" he asked mali- ciously; a perverse imp had, so far, kept him silent, It was amus- ing to imagine the great man's sur- prise, "At my house?" Burleson frowned. "No I What d`o you mean by that?" "You wouldn't know him if he came, that's all," Fosdick replied coolly, "especially if he changed his name." * * * Burleson nodded. "Is he consid- ering that?" "Decidedly," Fosdick laughed; "I think hes done it already," "Well, I don't know as I'd blame him for that either!" He glanced out of •the window again absently. It was plain that his mind was pre- paring to exclude Fosdick, "When you get those shares ..cone up and we'll talk it over. I may buy a few more," he said, shortly, re- verting to their prevous business. Fosdick rose; he understood los dismissal. Suddenly he made up his mind not to tell Burleson about Mark yet. But he stopped at the door to send a shaft back. "You'll have to get someone else to help you out with Grant—if you want to start hum—I've always be- lieved hien guilty, you know." Burleson frowned slightly. "That shouldn't ]seep you from being fair," he said bruskly; "it was un- premeditated; he's been punished", After Fosdick went Burleson rose from his seat and stared out of the Window. It was beginning to spit snow. He summoned his secretary,' Lave a few sharp orders -and left his office. * * * He began to walk steadily uptown and the dash of snow in the air in- vigorated him. The crowds were thinning a lit- tle now, as he made his way up- town, but still they hemmed him in and he felt that singular loneli- ness which assails the wayfarer in a city throng. He was an old man, and his wife and his children were long since dead; it seemed to hint, sometimes, that a singular i1l luck, in that respect, had pursued him. He had Idst three sons. He had no heir, he had made up his mind to leave his estate, the major part of it, to Pain. She was not a blood - relation, only his wife's niece, but the girl had crept into his heart and softened it; she was the only one for whom he felt real tender- ness; the only ..one for whom he would have made a sacrifice. * * He was progressing steadily when someone brushed against him is the crowd, laughed saucily - and caught his sleeve. It was Pant her- self. "I've been chasing you half a block, Uncle FIerbert!" she panted His face softened; he was often amazed at his own weakness for this girl; he drew her hand through his arm. "You ought to go home, miss; it's going to snow hard!" His tone to her was always kind, different; she knew it—a sour, hot tempered old man, too! She laughed. "I love snow! I've been out with Aunt Lynn—you know what that means!" "A socially conducted journey, oh?" he smiled grimly. "You're a little rebel, Pam," "Uncle Herbert, I wish you'd tell Aunt Lynn that I'm old enough to go where I please and—and Archie Landon hasn't any business to die - tate about my friends!" "So Landon meddies, does Ile? I thought the boy had more sense." "He hasn't any! In the first place, be brought a friend of his to the house. Then he talks to Aunt Lynn because I lunched with his guest to- day—if you please!" * * * "I see! You've been lunching out with a than and got into trou- ble with your aunt. That's it, isn't it?" "I've got a right to lunch with anyone, haven't I?" Pam tossed her head, then she Iaughed, "You see, the trouble is I can't be sly— someone always sees mel Archie Landon saw me today; so did that hateful old Fosdick of yours!'" Burleson looked down at the charming, flushed face critically. "Fosdick didn't talk, yoftng lady; he's just been to my office. Old men are wiser than young ones, after all!" "I wouldn't care a pin for Lan- don," said Pam hotly, "only it's mean -he brought the man him- self." (To Be Continued) Powder Puffs Old powder puffs have a new use in this day and age.

Having Having'a soldier son go, over- eats has its compensations — that is if you have plenty of friends and relations in the Old Country, as we have. It is nice to get first hand information of those whom we have not seen for so long — and it is nice to know that our son has somewhere to go where he is sure of a welcome. Family con- tacts mean a great deal to us all, especially at this time. Bob was able to get four days leave to visit his grandmother, and other relations. Grandma is eighty- seven and Bob writes of her — "she is so old and so wise but the air -raids have shattered her nerves badly so that she is not able to speak distinctly." But still the two of them enjoyed each other's com- peny so much after a separation of fifteen years. Sometimes I wonder if there is a special af- finity between the very old and the very young — an understanding which is not possible to those whom a lesser number of years divides. * * * Son Bob also visited a very great friend' of mine who took him around to some of the historic places in that district — places which may be known to a few readers of this column. Ohrlst church Catherctral was one of them, built in 1003. The beautiful stained glass windows are still there, They were lucky enough to get permis- sion taro climb to the top of the tower and into the belfry where they saw the big clock wound up by hand and were right behind it when it struck the half-hour West- minster chimes. One hundred and forty-three steps took theme to the top of the on'@ hundred and fourteen -foot tower and from it they could look all over the town and across the channel. They also went over the old Priory which Bob described as one of the most • wonderful places he ever expects tc see. He was thrilled with it all. I expect you will feel as was do, that it is really marvellous so many of these fine old buildings have survived the terrific bombings to which little old England has been subjected for so long. Will our modern buildings last as long?

Following Bob's letter carne ' one from Grandma, or rather from her daughter who lives with her,' and she was so distressed because the house was very cold when Bob got there — and because the blackouts and indoor air-raid 'shelter" have spoiled the appearance ' of their home. Naturally that doesn't worry us so much as hearingofthe house being told. The old lady has been staying in bed until after dinner for some time la, order to con- serve onserve fuel.
