ConPession! h\T . f Gfldele yarrisd* The Tramp Calls Madge "Some Stage Manager.” For a second or two the myste rious tramp who had called my mother-in-law "Mother” und refer red to my husband as his "brother” gazed steadily at me. He was evident ly speculating as lo the truth of the threat I had uttered. Then he took a menacing step toward us. “1 'll just call that little bluff of yours,” he said, and the words were a snarl. t I had anticipated both hjs words and his movement by stepping back ward, taking my mother-in-law with me, We moved until we were close against the wall of evergreen behind which I knew Lee Chow was crouch ing. Suddenly a yellow arm, strong and supple, shot out front the thicket and the hand closed like a vise upon the wrist of the man, who was press ing toward us with a dancing step anil an evil grin. I have never seen a more ludicrous change in a countenance than 1 be held in the face of our tormentor. Every vestige of bravado vanished, in its place there crept into his face an expression of amazement, terror and something else, which I interpre ted as desperation. The latter made me halt in my purpose ot turning him over to Lee Chow for disposal as the Oriental might see tit. Tlie Ruse Succeeds. If the man \v%re really desperate, really in great need, there was grave danger of his carrying out the threat he had made. It seemed quite possible that he might try to bring disgrace upon the family by getting himself arrested in a manner that would court publicity. That he was a relative, as he represented himself to bP, I had grave doubts, although Mother Graham had recognized him and called him ''Steve.” There were enough shoals opening out before my Imagination to bid me be wary In charting my course. Therefore, with a swift, furtive glance a I my mother in-law, 1 nodded towttrd th» thicket. "Voti see?” I demanded. "Or do you need further proof that 1 am speaking the truth?" "I see, and I cave as far as taking the money away from you is concerned," the man snarled. "Very well,” 1 returned evenly. Tell your companion to go away from this woodland at once. He will he watched as he goes, so there will he no mistake." The man called "Steve" hesitated for an Instant. Then he turned his head. "Beat It. Tex,” he said curtly. “Meet me at the usual place tonight.” The wizened old ( hap scuttled away along the path we had just come, and the wall of evergreen, behind which I knew Lee Chow was tensely watching me. "It is all right,” T slid softly. "I do not think there will be any mors trouble." As silently as be had seized the man so did the grasp of the Chinese rel%x. and his arm was drawn back Into the thicket. "Steve" began to rub the wrist that had been encircled with Lee Chow's Iron grip. There was distinct, respect In his eyes now but his voice was raucous, and for the first time there was tile ring of truth in his words. "I'll tell the world you are some stage manager. Mrs. Dicky." he be gan with an attempt at his former lightness of manner. Then Ids eyes narrowed. "Rut look here my girl. I'm slippin' you the truth about this. If you folks—my folks—don't help me out, I've got to turn crook—again. Ask my lady mother what I mean— and a 100 ought to be a cheap enough price." , “It would," L returned steadily. "If I were sure you are really n member of the family, which I doubt very strongly. As I ibid you before, 1 must have other proofs than your bare word." "And while I'm getting them to gether T suppose 1 can starve to death and sleep beside the road end run the chance of being s"iit tip No. thank you. If I have to go. I'll have the game as well ns the name." There was real fear, real misery _OK, HUMPHREY* Radiantfirp Portable and Fireplace It >de!i fvr £rery Purpo c Instant Heat Radiantfire is a new and revolutionary gas heating device for the fireplace and for port able use.

Dear Miss Allen: I am a young man of la and have kept company with a girl at school for almost a year. I love this girl very much and thought she loved me. Christinas night I was invited to her house for supper and when I went she acted very funny. I am almost sure that she was disappointed because 1 did not take her a present. In our fam ily we only give presents to the chil dren tinder 12, agd so I just didn't think about giving her one. I wouldn't have hurt her feelings for anything. When I left I asked her when I could conte again and she said she didn't know. What would you advise me to do to get her to forgive me'.’ Do you think I ought to have given her a present? We are not engaged. TOM K. Yes, 1 think you ought to have given the gill a present if It was only candy. To make amends send flowers to her now or call some eve ning with a nice box of candy. Since you accepted her invitation to tea, doubtless she thought you would do your part by taking her a little gift. Three Janes: I'm glad you wrote me a letter and got the ideas out of your systems. You* wouldn't take my advice if I gave It to you. When you really need help, write to me again. In his face, and 1 took a swift resolu tion. "1 will do this much," I said, "but it will be no possible use for you to attempt to ask more of me. I will give you 150 now. A week from today at this time, you will come down to our home near F.ridgehampton with the proof that you arc what you pre tend to be. Then I shall decide what can be done for yon." Mrs. S. S.
