; A WlPg’^ ConPessionl W* . T * Qlclele C/arrisd, Madge Find* Something Familiar About the Tramp. - I watched the retreating hack of the tramp who had claimed to lie Dicky’s brother, with a feeling of panic. In his gate as he walked away there wa» the same elusive memory haunt ing quality, which I noticed In his mocking bmv. Elusive only for a moment, however. Too well I knew, after a second's searching of my memory, where I had *epn those •mannerisms before. They were Dicky’s own, only exaggerated, and the knowledge turned me a bit faint as I .realized what the resemblance im plied. Sitheonsciously I had cherished tho belief that the man who had demand ed money of Mother Orsham was an ijnpostor, even though her recogni tion of him had been something not to he disputed. But these mannerisms, ’,*o like Dicky's, were not recently acquired. They were a very part of: the man, and If they were not na tural, they could hnve been fitted to I hint only by long association with mv| ■Husband. The latter hypothesis, of course, I-knew to bp false, and the sickening conviction come to me that t-he tramp—ex-convict by his own ad mission—was indeed Dicky's brother and Junior's uncle. I always have been proud of Jun ior's heritage of Bod fearing, clean living ancestors. X'ow the thought of .this vicious blot upon ills line turned An* a bit faint. But a tremenulous touch upon my arm reminded me ■ tjiat I had something on hand more -. Important than speculation. I turned, tbreing a smile to mV lips, ns I slip ped an encouraging arm around my mother-in-law. "It's All Over! "It's all over. Mother, dear." I said. "Come on bark to the house with me." v "Is he really gone?" she quavered. ajf.'Really and truly," 1 smiled, sup porting her along the path, now -Clear, toward the footbridge connect ing the woodland with the llurkee garden. . ;»But she hung back, searching the nWsll of trees with puzzled eyes. •x "Vott- know, Margaret, I don't re '•member very much after that man sorted toward us—I felt her shiver ’at the remembrance of the tramps .•nvenaeing gesture—"because I turned so- faint I thought I was going to fall. l>Ut I thought I heard you say there were eyes watching us, that we were awarded—and he—he—changed his -manner so quickly. What doe* It all mean?" I was thankful that she had not asked me directly whether there was protection for us In the woodland, .for I bated to tell her a direct false 't)hfid. I knew that it. was distinctly ,uo\vi.«e for her to know of l.ee Chow's ..self-appointed guardianship of me nail everything belonging to me. and J purposely made my vole* light and carefess as I answered her. Mother (iralisni Collapses. "He whs very easily bluffed, don’t ‘jh*u think?” I countered evasively, ’hurrying her along the path as fast as 1 dared. Behind her bark, I made a. sweeping outward gesture with my hand toward the hank of evergreen shrubs. I knew that the Chinese was still watching us protectlngly from sbatoind that harrier, ami that his To Clear the Store SATURDAY Final Sweeping Cut Fur Trimmed .

But I waa sure that my authori tative gesture would keep them out of sight until I had maneuvered my mother-in-law Into the peaceful shel slielter of the Durkee house. "Oh-!” she exclaimed a little breathlessly. "Was it alt a pretense'.’ How clever you are, Margaret! And you didn't give him but $50 eithf. 1 never should have dared try any thing like that. I'm so glad that you came with me." My conscience stirred uneasily, but I quieted it with the reflection that anything was better than having Iter nerves any more frayed than they al ready were. I gave her a laughing caution as we came to the clump of hushes which surrounded the Durkee kitchen door. "Try not to look so worried. Mother, dear, I urged. "Remember, there's no need for anyone in the house to suspect anything. We shall see no more of this man for a week, and by that time we can evolve some plan for dealing with him. "I'll try," she faltered, "but—I—I must tell you all about—about—.” Her voice nailed off Into a gasp ing little sigh, and I felt her body sagging lankily I had kept one arm around her, and 1 was able to keep her from falling, as she crumpled and lay, apparently lifeless against me.

The young princess had never seen a spinning wheel before. She looked at it curiously. Since she had never heard the terrjfilp fate that would overtake her if $he touched a spinning wheel, she wasn't afraid of it at, all. And she never’ dreamed that the old woman was the ‘wicked fairy in dis guise. “Show me how that queer thing works, please," begged the princess. The old woman showed her, and then the princess asked to lie allowed to try to run it herself. The old woman agreed to let her. As soon as she touched the spindle she tumped up. crying, “Ouch! I’\e pricked my finger! ' Then she fell to the floor as though she were dead. Rut she wasn’t d°ad. She had fall en asleep—for a hundred years. (Color the spinning wheel brown.
