CHAPTER FOUR
But to reach him through that
crowd of fashionable,, to get hien
away from Pani, 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
room was empty save for the dis-
solving cloud of cigarette smoke.
Landon beckoned to Mark.
"A word with youf•' he said
hoarsely, closing the door; he war
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." Landon
"I know it," •replied
fiercely, "but you won't—you'll go
home!"
"Better take your defeat more
calmly," counselled Mark; "you're
not a good sport.".
Landon gasped with auger. "I've
watched you," he said thickly;
"you've trespassed here—you've
dared too much. Now, you'll get
out!"
Mark's eyes met his mockingly;
for a moment their glances ground
on each other like crowing 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!"

dare -devil look. But Mark himself
was not as happy as he looked.
The atmosphere of the place was
like a hot -house, fragrant and
warm—the glow of shaded lights—
the soft voices of the women.
Abruptly arose the vision of prison

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 bis fingers
• on his shoulder; the cinch of them
had left the young man's muscles
sore. 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
marked attention, studied him, 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. Firs. Ly1in, who
liked a new lion first at her table,
smiled across at Archie La don.
Her look said plainly: y
he's delightful!" And Archie gnaw-
ed again upon the bone of his
wrath, 'blow to get him out -that

defiance at Landon melted in
Pam's shirting glance. What right
had he, an ex -convict, to sit be-
side her, to touch her hand, to
look into her eyes? A kind of fever
seized hint; once or twice it was
in his mind to rise and shout the
truth at them. Then Burleson held
him from it—one of the mien who
had helped send him 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.

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
make use of it. Don't you think we
often let these winter months slip
by withodt 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 dyes. What about those
housedresses and aprons, those
school dresses for the kiddies, and
the light -weight underwear that
inn • he we didn't have time to niend
before it was put away. It is a
great time too, for housecleaning
drawers, cupboarAs and closets,
isn't it? And of course, some of
you will do just as I do—put things
away so carefully you never find
thein again!
And then there are letters to
write; and maybe there are friends
we have neglected . . . the new
year is a grand time to check up
on 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 thatl"
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 but had ney friend not writ-
ten how easily we could have drift-
ed further and still further apart.

'Life is too short for misunder-

"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 Amity hospi-
tal to convalesce. His wife missed
him in New York and she was. a
working woman of modest means
so she couldn't follow hint to Okla-
homa. So Tulsans got his wife a
plane reservation, a hotel room
and sent her a stack of $10 bills for
expenses. A delegation met her at'
the airport pinned a gardenia on
her and took her to Joe.

nise the other person's right to
differ from us without getting
peeved about it. So, in this nevi
year, wouldn't it be a good idea
to think, not so much about what
it may hold in store for us but
rather of what we have in store foil
it. The former is beyond our con-
trol; the latter is something else
again.
Incidentally we might learn, to
accept present conditions with a
good grace. Do you know I heard
