Harry Underwood grasped the hand 1 I extended to him so tightly that I ; winced, and almost regretted the 5s I suianoe I had given him of belief in his sincerity, although the words had I only been those of simple justiee. And ) into the black eyes looking down at I mo nine again the glinting, inscruta j hie rxpression which always makes I nie flush in embarrassed fashion. "Some day you're going to look up j at me like that," he began bantering j ly, then broke off abruptly in the odd | way he affected sometimes, and his next words were uttered huskily, al most roughly. "That means a lot to me, girl.” he said, “for I think you really believe I ni doing the best I can in this mess ! That white soul of yours wouldn't let i you say it unless you did feel it, and | 1 oan't tell you what new' life it puts j into me. It's a lonesome, thankless j stunt, this of mine, although 1'jn not looking /or any sympathy or yet laurel leaves on account of it. I’ve only myself to blame for the abysmal asinine failure I've made of things, and if I can atone a bit by this stool pigeon stunt of mine I shall be satis fled. Hut I’m mighty glad of this sprig of rosemary to take back with me for remembrance.” He put liis other hand over mine, with a close, tender clasp, then re leased it, put on his disguising eye glasses, and pulled out his watch and consulted it. "We’ll lie warping into the slip In a few minutes." he said in brisk stac cato accents, "so I'm going to heat it, for it doesn’t suit my book Ur have those reporters guess we know eaell other. You’re sure you can get to the train all righ\?”—this with an air of anxiety that Irritated me a ldt. “Being neither a moron nor a crip pie, I believe I can manage it," I re torted lightly. “I'll'Not Forget.” “Well, I suppose that was a bit thick," he agreed, with a reluctant grin, hut 1 wish I could pound into your head the fact that you can’t wan der around the universe with the im punlty you used to enjoy. That Smith person hasn't forgotten you were the one responsible for sending him into exile. Kvery time Wandering Willie thinks of his cold hearthstone up in the Catskills he points an extra poi- i soiled dart, and slips It in his quiver I for you. And don’t you forget that [ / white lie is out of the country tem : porarily, he has plenty of underlings scatter**! around the horizon, each one a little nion had medicine than the other. But, laying all talk of Mr. i Smith aside—” He paused again, and I felt the ey. , | behind the thick eyeglasses tixed upon my face. My pulse quickened, for 1 guessed what next lie meant to say, '‘^ou know as well as I do," he said jerkily, "what somebody else—-whom we needn't name—would like to do to | you. But it's about us much use talk , ing to you as it would be to that slip, i You'll go your own gait, so I'll simply | have to appeal the case to u higher court, and trust the devil for the rest. J Have you that scarab with you?" "I carry it always," I said simply, i for he had so uncannily impressed me with the sense of menacing danger at i the time he had pressed the scarab In I to my hand, that I had never been ! separated from the queer-looking thing i since. "That's good,” he returned in a j relieved tone. "Ileinembcr what I I told you—If you’re ever in a jam, where things look queer, try dashing ihut on any man in the crowd and demand that It be taken to-the 'Big Tangerfne.' ” "I'll not forget,” I replied, a3 he paused, etidently waiting for my assurance. "Bee that you don't,” lie retorted. And then he bent low' in a farewell bow in keeping with the character of the South American grandee he was impersonating so cleverly, and stalked away. The Ordeal Begins. How lie managed to hide his con spicuous person on the station plat form, or in the train, l do not know. That he was on the train I was sure, nnd tile knowledge heartened me somewhat on the seemingly intermin able trip in the dimly-lighted coach of the jerkwater train leading to the village of Caldwin. The three reporters who had inter viewed me in the Sag Harbor farm house had seats near to me. but con tented themselves with the perfunc tory greetings they had given me on the Long Island train. But I knew' that they would be keenly watching the meeting between my husband and me, and when the train drew up at I Caldwin, nnd, descending to the plat- | form, 1 saw Dicky advancing toward me, I took a llrm grip upon my nerves nnd will power for the ordeal of greeting him. Problems That Perplex Answered by BEATRICE FAIRFAX Hiding an Engagement. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 24, away from home since 1 was 15, 1 am not a modern flapper, but an old fashioned girl with a desire for a home and children. I am engaged to a young man one year my senior since June. Our en ycar my senior. Our engagement was i announced properly to all our 1 friends, but not to his people. He J said he would tell them later. He I is a very fine young man and from a j tine family, whom 1 visit often with him. He is a school supervisor with a steady position and more than enough 1 saved to start a little home on, and we are sure we love each other de votedly and will he very happy to gether. So we set our date to he married nn January 3. 1923, to which tie agreed readily, hut asked me If we couldn't keep it secret until next June. This f cannot do. I have spoken to him many times about why he does not tell his people we are going to be married, but he gives me no reason. Can you tell me why, if he loves me, he does not tail his people, and why he does not want to marry yet when he-knows that we have every reason to marry and no reasons not to marry, outside of the fact that lie Art Gild Exhibit By tJKORGJS BARKER. The art of Omaha artists may he M en to advantage this week and next at the eighth annual exhibition of the Omaha Art Gild at the public library. The gild exhibition is receiving admir ation highly meritorious. A feature of the exhibition is the portrait of Mrs. Vesy by J. Laurie Wallace. It is graceful In arrange ment, delicate and pure in color and tone, and a bit of vivacious portrait ure. The portrait of Mrs. Hayden is brilliant in lisht and color, exquisite in surface modeling and finish. Edna j Mae has the element of joyous youth and life and is handled with a spark ling touch. The. landscapes of Mr 1 Wallace are pictorial and refined. The ' hue evening called "Pastoyal” is uii usually rich in color. All of Mr. Wal luce’s works will invito an Intimate observation. L'r. Hubert Gilder Is showing two ,charming snow pictures and his lal est and many think his best work, ‘‘My Hed Oak Tree,” painted at Make Robin. This last picture al ready has a host of admirers. Augustus Dunbler. who is showing for the first time with the gild, is exhibiting several interesting works. ’ The Artist’s M’ife” is cleverly done. "Still Life,” No. 4’!. is unique In ban j dling. It diert Dinning .-- "Autumn” is a poetic work; so Is nis little moonlight picture. “Philadelphia” represents a view from an artist's window that Is richly characteristic. Cordelia Johnson, one of Omaha's most serious artists, is showing a portrait of Dr. Gilder, painted in a broad and masterly fashion. Aujyista Knight’s oils are worthy of careful study, and her water colors are fresh and crisp. The bookplates of Delia | Robinson and Kuth Felt are all that one could wish, and the Vlecorative I water colors of Mrs. Barker and Eliza* I beth Ferguson are fascinating. I About 4t> artists are represented. J Subject matter, conceptions and treat ments are so diversified, that any one attending the exhibit will find work to correspond with his capacity of en joyment. One way of encouraging art and artiRts is to attend this exhibition and ! see just what Omaha artists are do ling. This is a representative showing. • i Incidentally, it is thinkable that isameone may want one or more of thc-ss rare and beautiful works. knows that I am very unhappy Hv- | ing the way I am, without a home j anrl love and proper eare? A CONSTANT READER. Your fiance should take you fully hfto his confidence. From your out line of the situation there seems no reason for his keeping the news of his engagemi nt from a family which knows and likes you. If he has a "good reason for his strange attitude I'm sure yqu would subscribe to it. In any event. It Is only fair and just that you should know why all this concealment is being urged. Religion Versus Love. Dear Miss Fairfax: For the past year and a half I have been going around with a girl whom I have learned to love. She is of different | religion than I am and that's what lirings me to write to you for " so- ! lution of my problem. My parents are foreign born and I ! know just what they would answer * me. I love tny mother very dearly and I would bate to hurt her in any way, but at the same tjme I would not watit to do the same to the girl. 1 A. G. Have tlie girl meet your parents, i Old prejudices may be toppled over j by gentleness,'fact and courtesy. A mother wants as much to see her son happily mated as she does to see him I adhering to abstract principles. - / Olive Oil: Don’t worry about the letters. If he hasn’t destroyed them he probably will in time. If you wanted your gift back why didn't y°#send back his gift to you instead of destroying, it? You could have sent it back with a note requesting him to return yotvgg. If I were in your place X would let him keep it and forget the whole matter. Marjorie: I would at least tplead for time to find out whether it Is your loyalty to the deceased love which makes you blind to the good qualities of the new one. It would be most unfair to take the ring feel ing ns you do—unfair to him as well us to yourself. Worried: The surest, quickest and most painless treatment of rumors is to ignore them absolutely. Then they die an almost instantaneous death. Incidentally, I should treat the'boys in identically the same manner. E^kEEPY-TIME TALES TOMMY FOX. DVENTURfcR iTlAlTEll XII. Mr. Fox and His. Tail. Tommy Fox a father was very proud of his tail—his own tail, not his son's. And it was no wonder. Mr. Pox had the lujfgest tail of all (lie foxes in Pleasant Valley. He often mentioned that fact. It was the same as saying, "the biggest in the world," because Pleasant Valley was Mr. 1- ox's world. His tail was beautiful. There was no denying that. And it was useful __* W\9^r| His tail was hcautiPul Tlisrs was no denginj that. an well. On cold winter nights Mr. Fox wrapped his great tail around himself and slept snug and w"rm. To he sure, there was one draw hack .about his tall. In winter. If a dog happened t*> chase him on a stormy day, Mr. Fox’s tail was likely to become heavy with snow and sh-et. Dragging extra weight behind him, he couldn't run his fastest. He took great pains to keep his tail trim. It annoyed him to see a bur stuck in it. It seemed lo Tommy Fox that his father was always pick ing a bit of leaf or moss or grass out of his tall. And if you wanted to see Mr. Fox flv Into a passion, all you had to do was to step on his tail. After stepping on the pride of his I father's heart. Tommy Fox always j ran off and hid somewhere until Mr. Fox’s anger had somewhat cooled. However, there was less danger in slyly dropping a bur into Mr. Fox's brush—as he often called his tail. When la- noticed the bur. Mr. Fox would thiuk he had picked it up somew here In the woods or the fields. “A burl" be would exclaim In dis gust. "I'm getting into them every time I stir out. 1 never used to bring so many home.’’ oa days when he felt somewhat out of sorts. Mr. Fox used to grumble a good deal about burs, liven bis best friends began to think lie was be coming a bit of a bore, with his fre quent talk of burs. They didn't mind sitting down for a chat with him nbotit Farmer Green's hens. But to be buttonholed by Mr. Fox and have to listen to his stoty of having just picked six burs out of his tall—that was downright dull! Well, one evening Mr. Fox liad a dooryard caller. And having been greatly annoyed by burs that very morning, Mr. Fox wanted to tell h.a neighbor all about his'trouble. Mr. Fox sat very close to him and talked right into ids friend's face, after the fashion of botes everywhere. His friend kept edging away. He opened his mouth a dozen times to tell Mr. Fox that he really must go, because he had Important business elsewhere. But Mr. Fox only talked the faster. He didn't give his caller a chance to say a word. Tommy Fox was playing about the dooryard. And noticing that his father’s tail and that of the caller I lav side by side upon the ground, he crept up behind them and dropped burs all over them. Mr. Fox was so interested in his cwn story, and his friend was so in terested in getting away, that neither of them paid any heed to Tommy Fox and his actions. The quest squirmed and fidgeted. Mr. Fox seemed wound up to talk all night. \t last Mr. Fox's friend broke in upon his steady stream of words. "You’ll have to excuse me I liave an engagement,.’’ he said: and he had to bark loudly to make Mr. Fox hear, him. “I’m going, good evening!” He jumped up and tried to leave. Then there was trouble. His tail and Mr. Fox’s were stuck fast to gether. Thq caller's first jump upset Mr. Fox. Ills second jump dragged Mr. Fox along the ground. He made no third jump, because Mr. Fox for Women Only! • e ~ ' Shoes, Slippers, Pumps, Oxfords, Galoshes, Rubbers!

The caller growled, because he thought Mr. Fox was trying to Keep him there in order to tell him something' more about burs. Mr. Fox growled. because be thought his friend bad played a trick on him, putting burs in his brush when the fellow knew how Sir. Fox hated them. Tommy Fox was hoping to see a tight right in his dooryurd And there is no doubt that he would have, had rot his mother heard sounds of trouble and come running out of the house. "Be patient, gentlemen!" she cried. "I'll set Vou free. Come and help tnc, Tommy!" Tommy Fox was busily picking burs out of bis father'* tail when Mr. Fox gaoe Him a sharp loow. "1 notice a good many burs on you.” he remarked. "Have you been handling burs?’* "I'm handling them now.” Tommy answered glibly. "Those burs on you—they didn't come olT my brush," Mr. Fox de clared. "But they’re the same kind. This looks very, very queer.” "It does," the caller ai*eed. ‘T hope you'll make somebody smart for it.' ' "I will." Mr. Fox promised. But Mrs. Fox wouldn’t let him. She said she thought it was a good joke. And she laughed so much that Mr. Fox went away and stayed three days. When he came home, though he had a dlizen burs In his tall, he never mentioned burs at all. i ‘ lopynght, 1922 > Pledge Sororities «t ^ Ames College.
