At soon as the bays had had their drink the party started . on again A And Old Dog Spot was content. He did not mind the dust that the bays heels kicked uo as he followed be neath the carriage. . And the faster ' "they trotted, the -more they pleased him; for he was as .anxious as John- nie Gr;en to get. to town and see . the crowds and the fun. '. Once a surly dog ran out from ' a farmhouse and tried to reach him. That made Spot somewhat uneasy. 'I.: don't want to stop to -fight this ...fellow. he" thought.

Carriages arid wagons of' all sorts lined the road on both sides , glistening buggies with red ribbons ' tied in bows about the whip stocks, old lumber wagons with chairs set "behind the" driver's seat: , ... Johnnie Green had never seen such ' a gathering not even at the fair; ' "The whole county's here I" he ex claimed. "I hope well find a good place to stop, where we can see the parade." . : . ' t . They did. Farmer Green backed the bays into the last open space in the gutter. r And i. Johnie ' was greatly relieved. - : '. The crowd made such a roar,'-with its talking and laughter, that Old Spot cowered down under the car ryall and almost- wished -.. he had , stayed at home. The cries of men selling peanuts and popcorn, squawk ers and -toy balloons, mingled with the -snouts of small boys and .the -squeals of their sisters, v .'i j "Goodness!" Spot ' murmured. "What a racket!. It . hurts my ' ears." ..... - " v v; ' A moment later he &tuck:his tiose out from beneath the carriage and burst into a mournful howl. ' Keep still" Farmer Green or dered. " . . . Little did he know, then, what made Soot crv like that. But in a minute or two Johnnie Green heard the .same thing that Spot's sharp ears had caught .first. And Johnnie howled too.

"Flugh," grumbled Jack. Marion Steele was the girl he had asked to marry him when he was a freshman in college at the tender age oi eighteen,, and lie never heard her name mentioned even to tnis. late day, without an absurd feeling of self-consciousness. ' ' "She's awfully smart looking now- a-days," went on Jill, taking secret delight in Jack's discomfort. "Doesn't look a day over twenty." "Well, she isn't a female Methuse lah, exactly," said Jack with a sign of spirit. "Marion cant be over twenty-five." " . Jill sighed. ' "1 have' always wondered why it is that Marion doesn't . get married." she said. ."Goodness, she's had fel lows enough." ; 1 Jack threw a quick suspicious glance at her. . "But the trouble with Marion is, she's becomnig sort of pynical," said Jill,! "She's all filled up with a lot of nonsense about the double stand ard of love and morals amon.j mar ried folks. . Really, hon', the way she talks makes me dizzy." : Jack silently passed his dish for a second helping of pudding. Jill rattled, on. "Marion said . today that women arc so honest with men that they are easily imposed on." , . "Who the men?". r . "Crazy cat, no," dimpled Jill. "Marion said that every , woman is honest in her love affairs even if she might not be so terribly scrupulous in other affairs. But on the other hand" ' "Where does Marion get all . this stuff?" muttered Jack. "Oh, she's had so many beaus," said Jill, with a sly smile. "And so that gives her a license to come here and talk a lot of that absurd stuff to you, eh?" Jack Seemed quite upset.. Jill nodded. "Oh, well, girls talk thit " way about married life after they1 are thirty." , . "Marion's only about twenty five," Jack reminded her coldly. "Well, it's all the same. Marion said that every fellow calls himself an honest man because1 he doesn't cheat at cards, and doesn't lie to his boss, or try to ride on the car? with out paying the conductor, yet fi; thinks nothing of cheating' t the game of love." .

Henderson never had a look-in with Marion at college, Why, Marion deliberately threw 'that kid down at soph promenade for "Yes?" prompted Jill politely. . "Oh, what do I care about Marion and her old gossip," said Jack savage ly. "Let's talk about something elsa" -' -',- ;; And, blind male, he wondered why his Jill-girl giggled. ; C ;! Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL. This day was designed for lovers, if the gems which . govern mortal destiny are read aright. The moon stone is the talismanic jewel. It has high rank as a gift for lovers, since. according to ancient superstition, it is believed to arouse the tender pas sion and to give the powcr to read the future. Its potency is more marked when the moon is full.; , Another gem associated with love and marriage is today s natal stone. This is the diamond, emblem of be trothal. According to an old legend, this jewel, when given as a symbol of plighted troth, will lose its bril liancy if .love wanes. ' Pale blue is the hue most potent for wear today.

Tim Chester vaulted the old rail fence beside .which I had drawn my car and disappeared in the tangle of Lushes that lay behind it. . Obeying his injunction, I bent over my wheel, waited patiently and was soon rewarded by seeing drive past me the bent figure of the wom an across the road whom I had tak en to the hospital after a beating at her husband's hands. . ' - I looked at her from .beneath ray (lowered eyelids, a trick of mine, cul tivated in my teaching days, anil caught a furtive glance from her which held in it fear, knowledge and something as akin to remorse and pity as the poor clod was capable of feeling. ' - That she knew something about tniy baby I was certain, and to st t quietly and see her drive her oil ' nag past me was torture.

What Picky Knw. 5 I nodded my -head, for I could not speak because of the awful cer tainty I felt that the woman who had passed me knew something of my baby's- fate. Driving my car cau tiously along, occasionally catching a glimpse of the -old wagon, we at last saw it turn inta a road which. I knew rarl for miles through the woods without a cross-road, and upon which stood a house of a countryman of the woman, in' the wagon. . - ' ' I told Mr. Chester so in choked, tense fashion. With a request that I stop the car, he jumped from it be fore it was fairly stopped, and stood looking up at me for a second with his boyish face, and honest eyes filled with troubled pity. "I I believe you will hear from Maior Grantland very soon."., he blurted out. 1 "I think he's' on the ricrht track." . I nodded again hopelessly, for what avail to me was the right track of the truth if my baby had been killed by this brutal man, who- had had him in his power. I turned my car around and drove back to tjie farm with no consciousness' of driv ing my one thought the longing to creep into. the. shelter of my father's arms. .' " ' ' "'. ' ' '' . '. Curiously enough I never thought of going to Dicky. There was no feeling of wrath against him indeed, no feeling of any kind. I. had longed so intensely for his support on the day mv baby, disappeared, that when he finally appeared after long hours spent with Edith Fairfax I had learned that they had beert taking a long motor trip that day by them selvesit was as if a door had shut between him and me. ; As I entered the living room, I saw Robert Savarin, my father and Dicky in. close consultation. They started as they saw me, and I sens ed that I. had Ipeen .the subject of their conversation. - But I . went straight into my father's arms,' shak ing with the grief and terror. I hart suppressed, and told him with chok ing sobs of the little "bumble fish" of Junior's Mrs. Ticer had found. "Where is it?" Dicky said hoarse ly, and I guessed his anguished wish to see the last thing our baby had played" with, .' . .. ; :"-' "I have it," I returned jealously, and was struck by something tense, excited in the faces of all three men. "I have just came from Lillian," Robert Savarin said.. "Of course, no one has breathed a word of this to her, and on the pretext of having -Marion near her, I took the child to the hospital 'on the morning after Junior's disappearance, and have kept her were in a room near her mother's,- where she can see her occa sionally, and so I've been able .to keep Marion also in ignorance of your trouble.
