CB 245W By MARY [FLAY TAYLOR CHAPTER XIII • "That doesn't shake my. belief in you; you see, Vitt• your friend." She believed in him; it was the snost marvelous thing in the world! "Anel you don't ask raze about it? Nor why I was sent there?" he cried. She shook her head, smiling. "You're My friend," she repeated softly. The beauty of it swept him off his feet. He caught her hands in his in another moment he would have told her that he loved her -- told her the whole story — but his eyes fell suddenly on a green thing on the table at her elbow, a squat shining figure, marvelously carved It was, the face — cunning and old as the ages — was grinning up at him — one of the small 'uplifted hands pointed. Her hands slipped out of his; he reached for the jade god and lifted it, turning it over slowly in his hands. Underneath, where the fat -kneed goblin sat so squat, the jade was smooth except for a cipher or a dent, something that marked it indelibly. Mark ran his finger along the broken surface and felt it. Then he looked at the queer elfin face again and his own face went white. * * * "My God," he said below his breath; "how did it come here — here of all places?"

What's the matter?" He had collected himself, but be held the god hard in one of his powerful hands, Where did you get this — thing?" he demanded, and, for the moment, even the girl herself seem- ed to melt away from the reality of the thing he held! "It's. uncle's," She was shaken by his emotion; she felt the ten- sion, the excitement of his discov- ery. "He wouldn't give it to roe — I put it here for — fun!" • He' looked at her for the first time without seeming to be aware of her; his face was so white that his eyes looked black. ' "Where's your uncle?" he asked excitedly. "He • ought to be here soon. It's late now forhim," she glanced to- ward the window. * * Mark, holding the jade god in his hands, looked down at her and seemed to come to himself. "I must see your uncle," he said gravely. The girl's eyes traveled from his face to the ugly green jade god in his hands. "That's the key • to something," she said excitedly, "I see that! Will it - help you?" "It will — if your uncle will tell me about it — tell me where he got it. I know when — I know almost to a minute about that!" She rose and came 'over to him, touching it in his hands, wonder in her eyes. "It has always held me — was this why?" He did not touch her; he knew that she cared; but she might have been wrapped in fire, he would ne- ver take her in his arms until he was cleared! But his eyes held hers. "If you hear hard things of me, unbelievable things, will you trust see? Will you believe in me?" .he demanded passionately. "Can you — believe in rate, Pam?" * * * It was the first time he had spo- ken her name thus, and she was touched by it. It had a new sound on his lips, he made it a symbol of love - the love he could not claim. "I'll believe in you!" she smiled back bravely, but her eyes: j were wet with tears; she suddenly saw his hands again and slaw she un- derstood — they were the hands of a prisoner, knotted with world 'They were still. 'standing thus, looking at each ,other, when there was the stir -of an arrival in the hall. Mark looked at her question- ingly; she nodded. "It's Uncle—and Aunt Lynn." Something like triumph came into his face; he gripped the jade god in one powerful hand, the other fell at his side, clenched. . "You're going to ask him now?" the girl 'breathed. She was only vaguely aware of the thing it meant to him, but she knew that it had some. deep significance. He nodded. * * * They were standing together on the hearthrug, the light of the lamp cast a soft glow behind them, out- lining thein. They stood waiting. They were still waiting silently when Mrs. Lynn came rustling in and, behind her, a little bowed about the shoulders, looking a little older, the millionaire himself, Mrs. Lynn, seeing. the two, exclaimed. Why, Patricia, 1 thought you were out! Mr. Byram, please touch that light -switch behind you. I bate gloom!" Burleson laughed a little harshly. "Butterflies like light," lie remarked humorously, smiling at his sister- in-law, "Pain, I want some tea—" her aunt began, and then she stopped.

"Why, iblr. Byrom!" * * * Mark did not seem to hear her. He walked slowly over to the lib- i.:ry table where Burleson stood, and the older man, searching his face in the new strong light, did not move. He seemed suddenly to see something in it that held him. Mark came nearer and opened his hands. In the hollow of his palms the jade god squatted like a toad. Burleson stared at it and stared up at the young man. He apparently linked the two by 'some chain of circumstances, and the age in his own face deepened, the lines grew sharp, his eyes dulled. The two wo- men watched them, Mrs. Lynit in 'amazement, Parry with a beating heart. It seemed eons before Mark spoke, "I know this thing," he said slow- ly; "it has a curious mark under- neath—see?" I -Ie turned it over, holding it close to Burleson, "Will you tell me when it came to you?" * * * Burleson's hands clenched, he grew grayly white, then, suddenly, that red streak ran up between his eyebrows to his hair. The effect was ghastly. Mrs. Lynn caught Pani's wrist in clutching fingers and whispered: "Send that man away—your un- cle's going to have a fit!" . Her voice was only a murmur, but it broke the spell that held them —staring at the jade god. "Will you tell me?" Mark re- peated, in .his deep voice, "you know me, Mr. Burleson?" "Yes," he said slowly, "I know you now!" As he spoke he took an unsteady step forward and laid one hand upon a chair. "Then—tell me!" Mark demand- ed hoarsely; "help me that much now!" and he followed "the older man, holding out the mocking god. Burleson turned and looked back at hint. He was breathing hard; ' suddenly a fire leaped into his eyes, he stretched out his shaking hand, seized the god and flung it with all his force into the corner. It struck the edge of the great mantel, slant- ed, spun like a top against the brass fender and fell, broken in a thou- sand pieces on the floor. (To Be Continued) How Can 1? By Anne Ashley Q.

Try rubbing with ammonia. But one should avoid allowing any acids, such as lemon, to come in contact with marble, Q. How can I make better win- dow shades? A.

Is an unmarried woman pre- sented to a married one when making an introduction? 2. How soon after a visit, should a house guest write a _."bread and butter" Tetter? 3. In general conversation is it ever permissible to contradict a person? 4. Ifa woman is staying at a hotel, would it be all right for a waiter to bring a breakfast tray into her room while she is still in a robe? 5. Should a person who talks exceptionally well monopolize the conversation at any social affairs? 6. Is it proper to number the pages of a' social letter? Answers 1. Yes, unless the single woman is considerably older than the married one. A bride of twenty years should be presented to a woman of fifty, regardless of whet- her the latter is married or single. 2. Immediately upon arriving home, the same day if possible. Under no circumstances should she delay this letter for a week or more. 3. While flat contradiction"is said to be always rude, in exceptional in- stances a contradiction may be done tactfully. 4. Yes, this is customary. A woman would hardly care to get dressed for the day before break- fast. 5. No. One person should never try to do all the entertain- ing, even if he does enjoy the spot- light. 6. No, but the long letter should be written on consecutive pages.

But when two bc,ys meet one girl, that isn't so good. I remember when son Bob and his life-long chum were in high school, the churn developed a girl complex. Bob didn't—at least not at that time— So there he was at a loose end and had to find other interests—not so easy after two boys have gone their way together for so long, both in the same form all through school; both interested in the sane hobbies, the same sI.orts. Such a dilemma may well mean a boy's first lesson in adjustment to changing con- ditions in 1i£, . A boy's family can do much at such a time to bridge the gap by creating other interests and encouraging new friendships. But it has to be done unobstrusively —an adolescent boy is like a young colt and will shy away from any obvious means to help him meet a difficult situation. ' Bob survived the ordeal and now young John is going through the same experience—losing his chum to a girl. But he already has some- thing to take his mind off his troubles. A gramophone—no less! He has it in his bedroom, which, unfortunately, is above our little sitting -room, so that quite often I write to the accompaniment of old time dance music, complete with cowboy yodelling. Oh well, so long as he doesn't buy Frank Sinatra records . . * * At long last a letter arrived from son Bob. It was an airmail letter, censored, crumpled and dirty. And after reading it we knew no more of the whereabouts of our boy or of what he is doing than we did before. We don't even know what county; he .is in. The enemy wouldn't get much information if it were left to that lad. However, it was a letter and set our minds at rest for a little while anyway.

Al- ready there are large bare areas of land showing in the fields but, unfortunately, the lane is still well covered, and that doesn't help our transportation problems at all. Yes, snow in the lane is too deep for car or wagon wheels and the high- way too bare for sleighs. Thus one day when Partner went for chop he thought at first it would be necessary to load the bags on the sleigh at the barn, then transfer them to the wagon at 'the road, which would have meant a lot of heavy, extra work. Finally he decided to put on a smaller load and take a chance on the wagon. I watched him go and how that wagon rocked and lurched. * * * While the men were away I paid a visit to the car. More than that I got behind the wit :el and step- ped on the starter. After three months rest, don't forget. What happened? Yon don't know my old Lizzie or you wouldn't ask that. One step on the starter and away she went! That is, her engine, not the wheels.
