"D'ye mean to say, Pave, that you've
trusted that girl with the telegraph
cipher?"
"Vei, and with a good deal more, Includ
ing the affaire of my clients."
The absolute evenness and calmness of
David Oraham'e tone should have named
his Impetuoua brother, hut the latter
plunged blindly on.
"Never knew a woman that could keep
her mouth ahutl"
"Then you'll meet one now Mlsg Matt
land I"
The click of the typewriter In the Inner
office moved on aa smoothly an If the opera
tor' cheeka were not aflame, nor. her eyea
flashing, fly the time aho appeared In the
doorway In response to tho third summons
the danger signals had aubalded.
"Mlaa Maltland, my brother John."
Young Orabnm acknowledged the Intro
ductlon aa beat he could under the quiet
scrutiny of Helen Maltland'a elcar, gray
eyea and allpped away with nn air of evi
dent, relief.
"She looka you square In the eye, which
It more than most women do," he mur
mured ungallantly as he hurried toward the
elevator.
No name adorned the ground glass door
of David Graham's office, situated at the end
of a dark corridor In the towering office
building. Those who had need of his serv
ices knew where to And him. As for the
rest of the world the less It knew of his
movements the better ho wna suited. Kor
Graham was a successful prlvnte detective,
quiet, unostentatious, Inscrutable, and he
looked for his clients In tbo very hub of the
financial world Wall street.
That Is how he happened to get the Wor
rell case. All the Manhattan security nnd
Investment company Incorporation asked of
Graham was the return of the money and
bonds with which young Worrell had ab
sconded. They had no Intention of prose
cutlng the son of the Institution's founder
The one horror which tho situation held for
the company wan publicity. The fact that
o solid, so conservattvo a firm had been
wantonly, flagrantly fleeced was to be sup
pressed at any cost, evon that of tho hy
potbecated funds.
Helen Maltland knew all this and more
the names and numbers of the stolen bonds,
the color of the young man's eyes nod hair
and the number In his watch. She had In
numerable epectmena of his handwriting In
porsonal notes and business letters, a half
iloxen of his photographs and a picture of
the woman In the case, a stago beauty who
stood In the front row of a Broadway
choru.
Graham was annoyed by the slowness of
his progress In the case No trace of Wor
rell had he found abroad or In Canada, and
the tact that tho stage beauty still haunted
Broadway Inollned tho detectlvo to tho be
lief that the absconding cashier was
shrewdly hiding In Now York, pending the
subsiding of interest In the case. Hence
he had called In his brother, formerly with
the city detective bureau, to follow the
scent through the most promising quarters,
the metropolitan lodging houses.
Before his brother was fairly out of the
building Graham, In his terse, business-like
fashion, had gone, over tho ground with
Helen. The gray-eyed stenographer gave a
sigh of relief.
"I am glad to hear that Mr. Graham will
be with you for a while, for I I"
David Graham compressed hla Hps sud
denly. She waa about to tender her rcslg
nation. Well, trifling matter llkn Increased
salary should not stand between them.
"Yes!" he said, encouragingly.
"Why, you aee, Mr. Graham, we've been
so busy, and and, well, perhaps you have
forgotten the fact, but 1'vo hod no vacation
this year."
No, Graham had not forgotten tho fact
All summer long ho had postponed offering
her the vacation because and now ho woke
, suddenly to the selfishness of his attltud
lie could not endure the thought of the office
without her presence. Week after week ho
had salved his conscience with tho belief
that he bad never put In such a busy sum
mer. He had no Intention, however, of tell
Int Helen all this. She was far too val
uable an employe to bo frightened oway by
any expression of sentimental nonsense,
Better to have her near In the role of ste
aographer than not nt all.
"That Is so. Miss Maltland, and let's sec
this la November 10. IUther late to turn
summer girl, eh! Shall you go to Sara
toea or Long Drench?"
Helen smiled at this unexpected pleas
tntry. He was always so grave, so absorbed
In the complications of his clients.
"Neither. Mr. Graham, ou see we are
New Knglanders, and my mother still occu
plea the email homestead at Demon Harbor.
We've never been separated on mannsgiv
tng day. and I'd like to spend my two weeks
with her and brother Jim."
"Certainly, I'm a New Englander myself
and know Just how you feel, though there
Is no mother nor old homestead to ontlce
me away from New York this year. Just
remind me Saturday to make out your
check for the vacation salary, and I hope
you'll have a pleasant time."
Then Helen went back to her typewriter
and Graham apparently reeumed his rogl
tattons on the Worrell cafe. At least he
sat with his hands thrust deeply Into his
pockets and his brows knotted Inlo a frown.
"Mother dear, however do you stand It
asked Helen, as she etood at the small
caned window of her mother's cottage and
watched the night fog settle down on the
Jagged coast rocks. She pictured Broad
way at the same hour, the crush of people
homeward bound, the brilliant .windows, the
cleamtna electric signs. And here were th?
bleakness and blackness of nlgbt, all unre
lieved.
"Btand what?" asknd her mother, placidly
trimming the lamp. "I hope one year In
New York hasn't made you hate your olit
some,"
"Hate, It! Never! I was only thinking
of you and how lonely It mukt be for you
when I am gone... I do wish you'd let mo
take a little flat, and"
"Nonsense, child. I'd never he happ
away from the sea Now there's Mr. Wat-'
ner. he's been stopping six weoks with God
Harper's folks. He came down hero Just
to get away from the bustle and excitement
of New York snys he ran t wine there.'
"Write what!" queried Helen, still star
ing out Into the gathered globm.
"A book society navel. He say Nciv
York life scatters his Ideas."
"IHs of other reoplo write books and
good ones In New iorK, said ijeien,
bit sharply. "I hope you did not tell him
I w'a stenographer. He'll be sure to of
fer me work and I want to rest every min
ute I'm here."
"I never told him anythlug, but I reckon
he'll be over to see you soon. Somehow, tu
plte of all his talk about wanting quiet aud
exclusion, I believe he's plumb homesick
for New York. He's been counting big on
your coming and has been over every night
lstel,"
Almost on the heels of thin remark there
rsroe a knock on the door, and Mrs. Malt
land admitted a tall, square-shouldered
young fellow, whose face, where. It nas not
hidden by a woll-t rimmed beard, showed a
newly acquired tan.
Helen was at first Inclined to resent the
presence of a stranoer on this her first
evening at home, but the feeling gradually
wore away. Glenn Warner was so thor
oughly at ease In the dim, simply furnished
front room, so dcbonnalr In his conversation
profeislon Graham was Mio sort of a man
who would love a woman for years without
telling her so, nnd then wonder why she
did not understand. Was not the fact that
she wnH the obje. r of conitant attention,
that ho always shown! a desire to have
her with him suniclcnt evidence of his feel
ing? It would be hard for him to realise
that women Insist upon word of mouth a
constant reiteration of old, old story.
Helen came out of her reveries with a
start. Jimmy had thrust n note Into her
like the Puritan mothers of old, closing the
doors upon you or whether she would open
her arms and heart to you?"
"Close the doors on Thanksgiving day"
No. nor tin any other day Mothers the
right kind of motheis aro always ready to
forgive, and give us a chance to try It over.
That Is a woman's right and privilege to
forgive, and make tho world better for her
torglvenesi."
Helen spoke In a low, earnest voice. She
had forgotten everything save the knowi-
that Helen fell to comparing him, and to ' hn'' aml ,VH8 ceding away with old Tlgc edge that had rome to her through those two
'at his heels. Such mornings are rare hi

unmistakable. In Graham's safe lay two

bitterly.

Up every scrap of paper. Sho find looked
after these details. Hcr's was a tempera

In tho knowledge that she was essential to

had shown his dependence upon her, his
faith In her. Tiy 6 o'clock she had lost her
appetite, nnd the sullen roar of the surf sot
her wild for tho shriek and rumble of the
elevated road. When Warner arrived there

The friendship progressed as It can only

mornings they rowed ncross the Inlet to the

Helen's anxiety about the condition of af
faire In Graham's office.
Bhe was a healthy, spontaneous creature
and the sudden liberation from office rou
tine was followed by o reaction. The Joy
of her Puritan ancestora seemed to run riot
In her veins. She waa free free to climb
the rocks, to eend her host flashing across
the Inlef. to fill her lungs with great drafts
of sea air and she was glad Just to be
alive. Tho old love for the Bea and tbo
rock-locked town filled her heart nnd sb
no longer pined for tho brilliant Illumina
tions of Uroadwoy and the Insistent clatter
of the elevated trains.
It was the day before Thanksgiving, and
she stood in the cozy kitchen, where the
sun poured lu through windows on three
sides. An asthmatic bird, the old house
hold pet, chirped feouly amidst a nest of
blooming geraniums In the south window,
and the air was charged with savory odors.
"It don't seem like Thanksgiving day
was tomorrow," complained Mrs. Maltland,
crimping the edges of her third pumpkin
pie. "There isn't a sign of storm nor snow,
It's most like Indian .umnicr."
"And It seems selfish to make up nil these
gocdles for you and Jimmy and me,"
laughed Helen, sniffing tho kplcy air with
undisguised pleasure.
"Well, you're tho prodigal daughter, and
we've got to kill the fatted calf If it's
nothing but a gobbler," lnugher her mother.
"1 did write to Otis and bis wUe. but they're
going over to the Demmlngses' this yesr,
and there ain't none of our relatives near,"
"I wasn't thinking of relatives" mur
mured Helen, gazing acrors the rocks and
sand to where the Inlet danced and tpark
led In the uuusual mellow light. Hut she
did not add that sho was thinking of Gra
ham and the tone In which he had said:
"There Is no mother nor homestead to en
tice me awny from New York this year."
Perhaps he would really have eujoyed com
ing, but sho had not thought to ask him.
She pvflled herrclf together sharply. What
nonsense! As if he would come all the way
to Tlenson Harbor to take Thanksgiving
dinner with his stenographer' In truth,

"Jimmy, dear, I want you to row right

She pressed a J2 bill Into his hand.
Jimmy started curiously at the message.
The address, "David Graham, room 171

I Should she tell him the contents of that
message? Should she give him the chance
to escape that night? Ih the morning on
Thanksgiving day Graham would come.
What steps would the detective take? Once
on their way down, when Warner was help
ing her over a rough place In the rocks, she
almost clasped his hand and told him the
truth. Then, ns from the distance, came
the mu mu r of voices lu Graham's office.
i What was he saying?
"I'd trust her with more than that, the
affairs of ray clients."

"Never mind, Jimmy; it will make sense

Just that way. You can keep every cent of

Jubilant Jimmy rowed off toward the Har

with Warner. Ho nnlcd her evident de

had been suddenly drenched nnd tho air
turned cold. Once perched on the rocks ho
tried to resume his old bantering tone.
"Is your mother preparing a feast In tho
prodigal daughter's honor?"
"Sho cdllcd me that, too," nn!d Helen,
musingly.
Sudden silence fell between them. It was
Warner who finally spoke, but his voice had
lost tho careless ring.
"Thanksgvlng day Is the time for nil

to Helen. Again sho had turned pale and

"Gone!" Helen echoed the word blankly.
What had she said or done to roue War

read It hastllv and then with a great sob
dropped her face on her clasped hands.
Graham watchtd her In silence: then the
veins on his throat and wrists stood out
like great cords and an angry light shone
in hla ejes.
What had Worrell done added to his
other crimes the unforgivable sin of break

would have protected her, had ho dared to
ask the right, stood tensely watching the
sob-shaken figure before blm.

She raised her head and at the great Joy
in her face Graham fell a load fall from

him the crumpled tetter.

The moist sheet fluttered from Graham's
hand to the floor and he grasped roughly
the curved back of Mrs. MaKland's ances
tral chair.
"Helen!"
The girl raised her beautiful gray eyes
to his In wonder at tne tone.
"Helen, you don't care?"
A puzzled look came Into her face.
"Don't carewhat?"
"That he has aone?" There was a world
of entreaty In his voice. Her eyes fell.
No." A mighty wave of Joy thrilled her
and a spirit of mischief rang In her next
words. "Not If you'll have Thanksgiving

Then Graham forgot the Worrell case, tne
property of the Manhattan Investment com

BAD DREAMS.
Where Do They Come rrom ?
A great dfnl of philosophizing has been
done In the endeavor to determine the
cause of dreams. At the best the question
Is left innettlrd, the materialist who re
lates nil dreams to physical causes seemlnv
to have a shado the better of the aigununt.
It Is, however, certain that womanly Intui

solution of the common cause of bnd

Take care of the stomach nnd the hidy

of health. True, not all diseases re.ich the
body through the stomach, but In so many

"About twelve years ni;ci I wns suddenly

which was so violent I could not n k

it caused waterbraoh and vomiting of a
slimy yellow water. I consulted a physi
cian and he told me I had n form of dys

And that's the wny It Is with the man.
He may hnvo ahundant food, but If It Is
not properly digested and assimilated, and
so converted Into blood, the power gives

assimilated furnishes the power that runs

Mrs. Maltland had Just brought In the
turkey and was holding the caning knife
aloft with a contemplative air. when she
remarked with startling abruptness:
"Well, if this hasn't been the queerest
Thanksgiving day I ever put In. ho d
over thought of your coming ali the way
from New York to eat a real Rhode Island
turkey? I declare, it's a wonder this whole
dinner ain't burnt to a cinder."
"It has been a surprising series of
events," answered Graham, witn almost
boyish enthusiasm. "All day yesterday I
was dreading that Thanksgiving dinner at
a cafe. It Just goes to show that some
times one cannot tell what he has to be
grateful for until almost time to carve the
turkey. And then blessings come thick and
fast. Allow me, Mrs. Maltland, as your fu
ture son-in-law, to relieve yon of that
task."
.Old Mrs. Maltland weakly relinquished
the carver, murmuring faintly, "Well, Helen
Maltland, this does beat all. ,ou might
have told me."
"How could I mother, dear, when I dldn t
know It myself?"

One of the strangest things found In the
morasses of Florida Is the blushing tree.
It Is found only In the thickets or these
interminable marshes, whoso luxuriant
vegetation always proves n revelation to
explorers. It Is called the blushing tree
by those who know It because It actually
blushes or turns a pink rolor when rain
folia upon It. It la a graceful tree, with
broad, banana-llko leaves. VVIde-aprcadlng
branches hang down nllghtly waving In the
warm breeie, und It lias emerald-lined
foliage. It rises to a height nf twenty feet
and Its thick, xubstantlal trunk Indicates
many years of existence.
"While watt-hlntr the tree the rain bfgan
to fall in torrents." says n returned swamp
explorer, "after n custom It has In these
parts. As the cool water drenched the tree
I was nmezed to note a changing of Its
color. Gradually but unmistakably the
Kreen hue was giving way to pink. I went
up to Its trunk under Its spreading branches
to obtain o closer look and found It to b
true, and the tree was blushing from the
effect of the rain. In a few minutes the
green had faded from sight, except In a
few half-hidden spots where the rain hail
failed to penetrate." After the shower
had passed over the spectator watched with
equal Interest this remarkable tree tigaln
assume Its familiar green color.
