' At the door of Nick's lodging house Jock let her in and in spite of her repelling gesture, sort of in- stinctive protest against her own con- fused submission, he mounted with her, As Jock turned to rejoin Nick, Lynda approached him and offered him her hand. It was an unconsc- ious gesture of trust and forgiveness. Over her hand, his fingers closed strongly. Lynda felt 'a rapture of body and of blood. It was sweeter than hon- ey, more heady than red wine. She felt his lips, moving, she heard him say "1 love . 1 love,. . And she was conscious of what he said, of its meaning, of the havoc that it caused.She lifted her eyes as though for help. They met Nick's eyes. He had fol- lowed them from the cafe instantly.

Marcella spoke breathlessly and harshly. "Go back to your own room. What are you doing here?” A few moment later there came a knock at Jocelyn's door. She opened it and stood aside. She was tremb- ling. But the woman who entered in a long red dressing gown was now Marcella, her usual self, sterner, per- haps, prepared to deliver a reproof. "Did you feel ill, Jocelyn?” "No, Mother. I heard you moving about. I wondered who it could be." "You night" have known that at this time I should be at prayer. It's nearly morning'. You disturbed ,me." 'I'm sorry, mother. I—I did not think that' you were at your prayers. You were holding something. I thought that you were "You must have been dreaming.

He quivered at the two words as though Nick' had used a lash upon him. Then carefully, not to hurt Nick's hands, he freed him- self and went out into the night, Nick went over and laid down on the couch, exhausted. "You did wrong to come to axe," groaned Nick. "No matter where 1 live my life defiles your fingers," Speaking, he was caught by. a par- oxysm of physical agony which kept' Lynda there in pitiful and sacred •at- tendance until nearly morning, At last she was driven to summon- ing Jock Aylewar-d. Her father had gasped out a dumber, and almost at once after she bad taken down the Thursday, January 28, 1912 For the first time, to keep Lynda's secret, Jocelyn ' made use of an in- vention: "Cousin Sara ;M:.ullett once knew! a clergyman of that niante , who had a son•" "And who kicked the son otit and chanigecl las own name in order not to .share it with..a convict,.

"You don't •think there could have been aiy mistake, that the. owner Of the mine perhaps deceived hini? I mean . . I feel so sorry for that clergyman." "13e sorry for the clergyman by all means but don't waste your pity on the young one. I knew that boy, knew him from the tini,e' he was a kid, He was always a pretty slick young customer, Queer how it came out in him. He had a crafty gift for sleight of hand.

The young assn had not yet changed from his evening clothes. "You'd better go and het -'some •. sleep," Nick "Business Business good last night, " i?retty fair. We lost Judson."

Nick looked at him hard but could niake nothing of the cool set smiling face. But, between them, they agreed they must move and hide from 'the girl, for her own. good. A few ,days later, spurred by an impulse; Lynda hurried to her fath- er's home. She opened Nick's door and found herself looking down upon Jock Aylewarcl. In the midst of a great mountain of things, of scatter- ed clothing, of trunks and 'boxes, he knelt busy with packing. nd, • Re!ieve. that paid safely r�• � t deeek'essfeesi-e•IgUe You can always .relieve that ache or pain harmlessly with Aspirin.

Lynda went weak and breathless. "Is Nick here? I thought — I 'thought—" she closed the door, fal- tered over to the old sofa and sat down there as though her legs re- fused to hold her up.

She will not love me, I' must learn the truth of my own life by my own efforts. She turned the little key and pull- ed open the thick small metal door. Behind it lay a leather box and this slie drew out and set upon the top of the prie-dieu. She raised the lid. The glory that had lain hidden there' glittered across her eyes like a mesh of living stars. Jewels as rich as a queen's.

Two long earrings to match were cradled at either eiid of the old lea- ther box which was decorated with a worn golden coronet. The value An Advertisement Addressed to the Public of this Commnunity When you hear of a manufacturer who spends $100,000 or more each year on advertising, you may feel like saying—"Terr- ible! What waste! and it is we'—the. public—who have to pay for it all!" But stop! Before you make 'judgments, look at facts. Manufacturers who advertise spend from 2 to 5 per cent. of their sales on advertising. Let us put it at 3 per cent. of the price which you pay for, their article of sale. So if you pay 25 cents for an advertised article, you are paying three-fourths of one cent to pay for making it known, to and wanted by you. The price' would be not less—indeed, it might' easily be more—if the article had no money spent on it to niake it known to and wanted by you. It is economy, so far as you are concerned, to have mane• 'facturers develop a huge demand for their product, by the agency of press advertising. YOU pay for the advertising,,, of course, but you pay a smaller price foil the advertised article than would be necessary if the manufacturer's output were smaller! Advertised articles have to be better than non -advertised articles, and since they are made in larger quantities, they' can he made and sold at least as cheaply as imitative ar- ticles. If you are a thrifty and wise buyer, you will buy the article made known to you by faithfully -maintained press advertising. The stranger product should be shunned, Be very friendly, therefore, to nationally -advertised pre duets -foods; toilet aids, motor cars, radio pets, and all else- which are also locally advertised --in this newspaper. �C tl dB' r tli Catttd4 tx v l �y »a aapa r Aai+ r anion.
