She aid to herself that he would
tell him ahout Arthur the second cv

they iat out on the observation plat
form and watched the little inhti go
by, f mull, scattered towns
watched the urt. when they could
iee them, and each other' evei when
they couldn't, Amelic didn't even
try to dream of Arthur that second
night.
And the third dav fame the desert.
Women in the Pullman sat with the
necks of their bloue pulled open
over panting, mealing throat.
Children whimpered and complained
unceasingly. Men left off their
coats and in a few brave instances
their collars well. The porter
shone like greased ebony when he
could be found at all. In at every
crevice of door and window sifted a
sickening heat and with it a fine gray
gritty dust. The desert mile of
gleaming, pallid barrenness not a
cloud in the brassy sky not a
shadow on the sand not a wing in
the airnothing but the breath of a
fevered hell forever shimmering up
into nothingness. .
It was in the desert that Amclie
chose to tell about Arthur rather,
the truth burnt its way out. Don
Reynard was so heait-breakingly
careful of her. She, who had no
right to his car no honest right.
He lowered shades and lifted win
dows and adjusted cushions. ' Me
thought of cool drinks for her; made
a fan of a magazine cover; talked
lovely lazy nonsense to make her
forget that ugly scaring furnace out
side the car.
He must have suffered from the
evil heat himself, hut he never said
so. His every thought was for her.
lying against the hot green plush of
the car eat, her small fare pale and
tired, with the dark hair damp
against her temples.
"You've never asked mc," she told
him suddenly about 2 in the after
noon, when the furnace was at its
worst, "why I'm going out to River
side." Then she lay back and looked at
him hopelessly, gripping her hands
together tight in her lap. The cloth
of her skirt was hot to her fingers.
"No?" said Don Reynard, smiling.
"Just the fact that you were going
was good enough for me." But he
saw that she wanted to be asked.
''Whv are you going out to River
side. 'then?"
"To meet to meet a man and
marry him," said Amclie. Brutally
done. But she couldn't be sure of
herself on a longer explanation.
He looked at her and laughed
saw in the same breath that she
meant it, and continued to look with
something in his eyes that hurt her
heart.
He didn't ask for any more. He
sat turning the silly fan he had made
for her about and about, and present
ly he didn't even Iqok at her. Down
at his brown fingers instead, with a
sort of dangerous quietude. A child
down the car from them wailed
steadily. Across the aisle a woman
wis peeling a banana. It gave off a
heavy, distasteful sweetness. The
.air from the desert came in through
the wire screen in the window and
lay on Amelie's throat and face like
hot. sick hands.
"I wish," said Don Reynard in a
low voice, a trifle hoarse, as if
Harlequin had lingered overlong in
the dews of the garden, "that you
had told me that before.".
"So do I." said Amclie miserably.
Then indeed he looked at her and
she looked back at him. In which
moment they had no words and
needed none.
"Well." he offered presently, still
rather low, "that doesn't mean I
can't take care of you until we get
there, does it?"
"No, it doesn't." answered Amehe
unsteadily, "if you still want to.
Should vou like to hear about
Arthur?" '
"No. I shouldn't," said Don Rey
nard grimly. He added with a flash
of reluctant humor, "Do you think
Arthur would like to hear about
me?"
Amelie hung her head. She felt the
merest flicker of his hand over hers
hefore he settled back with a book
in one hand and a new strained look
of reticence about his mouth.
"Try to go to sleep for a bit," he
advised. "We're late we come into
San Bernardino about 5, you know.
Don't bother. I'll see about every
thing. We drive over from there to
Riverside." ,
The strangest afternoon m the
world! Amelie lay back with shut
eyes and saw herself getting nearer
and nearer to Arthur! Saw and shud
dered to see. She was cruelly con
seious of that quiet figure facing her,
of its steady hands, its lowered lids.
Could he really be deep in the book
he held, or was he, too, fighting his
thoughts?
She drew a long sigh.
The trill of a bell floated to her
ears.
"I'm ringing for a cold drink for
you." said Don Reynard's voice.
"Poor child, you've had a horrible
davl"
The drink came eventually he re
fused One himself and eventually
the time slipped by. It was 4:30, 4:45:

ih repeated.
Hut he wan't. In four itr-mge
days, that was the trangct thin
of all. There wasn't even a tetter
or a telegram.
Amelie turned avuy from the desk
of the inn, her dark eyes wide and
startled, a chill starting at her lin
ger tip.
"How funny;" she ai4 childishly
to Don Reynard, waiting a little at
one side to rrgitcr. "He lu.u't come
bow funny 1"
Don Reynard came forward quiet
ly. He had an air of authority that
answered for the complete natural
ticss of the situation and silenced a
faint ueotiou in the eyes of the
rletk holding a pen in one hand, a
blotter in the other.
"Probably delayed unexpectedly
a washout or something. Why don't
you just register and have your
things nt up," he suggested. "There
i sure to be word tomorrow. Most
likely he'll be here himself before
you get down to breakfast."
Amclie registered obediently. Don
Reynard wrote his name at a dis
rreet distance below hers upon the
pag.
'.'Miss Lawrence:" said the clerk
tentatively. '
"Miss Lawrence," said Don Rey
nard distinctly, "is expecting to meet
here a gentleman who is on his way
up from Mexico. Will you be good
enough to lee that she gets any let
ters or telegrams, at once?"
"Why, it's Mr. Reynard, isn't it?"
said the clerk suddenly, with a sug
gestion of relief. "How do you do,
sir? You've been here before, haven't
you ?
"Twice before," said Don Reynard,
smiling.
Things after that moved much
faster. He drew Amelie aside while
the bellboy picked up her bags and
made for the stairs.
They stood by a low table which
held an enormous bowl of mauve
and pink foxgloves. At a wide win
dow just across from them several
garrulous tourists wero deciphering
a road map.
"Go upstairs," said Don Reynard
in that low whimsically caressing
voice of his, "and get a bath and
change your frock and come down
like a good little girl. We're go
ing to dine together in the court
yard. I know he's not here! I
know you feel as if the bottom had
fallen out of things, but you can't
expect me to feel it with you. can
you? This is something I didn't
dare hope for. I've got you one eve
ning more, all to myself. 'One day
more am I deified- Who knows
the world may end tonight V"
He caught her hand in the shadow
of the foxgloves, looked down into
her 'wistfully lifted eyes so that they
lifted but briefly.
"I wish it would!" murmured
Amelie recklessly. But not quite
loud enough for him to hear. He
caught the sound but not the words.
And she fled directly after.
She had one pretty gown in her
bag. meant for the first evening, and
Arthur's delectation gray as a
dove's wing gray lace and gray
chiffon. She put it on after a bath,
and did her hair as she would never
have done it for Arthur, cloudily soft
and loSsc. Then she went down,
with her heart rioting. Her little
gray slippered feet just kissed the
stairs.
Don Reynard was waiting for her
near the desk; he came forward
gravely. "This is good of you," he
said. "I've got a table in the patio."
Amelie' said to the observant clerk,
"No mail for me, still?"
"Nothing, Miss Lawrence," said
the clerk.
Then Amelic and Don Reynard
went out into the patio, crossed by
the whispering fountain to the far
ther side, and sat down at a small
white covered table with a jug ol
deep red roses in the middle of it.
Four walls of gray weathered stone
rose on four sides of them, open to
the sky. Bell tower and roof mide
lines of peaceful loveliness against
the azure twilight overhead, wherein
a moon hung, languid and noney
clear, a little past the first quarter;
there were flags, great streaks ot
crimson and green and yellow hang
ing from upper ledges, and upon
dozens of little tables set about
among palms and ferns, dozens of
candles glimmered, shaken in "a
breeze that was delicately chill. No
other light. A romantic intimacy
hung about the place like a perfume.
There were people at some of the
little tables not all. Semi-solitude
added to the moon and the fountain
and the candle light.
'What a perfect, i perfect place,
sighed Amelie.
"Wait! whispered Uon Keynard.
There was a trickle of notes from
a guitar somewhere anove mem.
Amelie turned against one wall a
flash of carmine caught her eye. A
balcony, with a strip of scarlet cloth
stretched on poles above it. Below
the scarlet cloth, a woman leaned out.
singing. She was slim and dark and
smiling. She wore a black lace man
tilla on her heavy black hair and a
big red rose behind one ear. Her
face was powdered pearl white, her
mouth, curved and painted, her eyes
slumberous. She sung like a bird or
a. child, throatily sweet, in a liquid
gurgle of sound. Behind her, half in
shadow, a man in velvet and tinsel
thrummed a guitar. An Indian
woman, two great plaits across her
shoulders, sat by a great gold harp.
"Whats that shes singing?" asked
Amelie softly. The song hung :n
that cool enchanted dusk like a silver
rilihon of ouii4. It wi full of tin
uk(rd dru and inouinlul tc
Itiry oi longing,

"I wouldn't give tonight fur the

not o uneven, attrr all."
A gi( in a whtte drei and a htt'e
yclluw jacket hke a toteidor'i
brought thriii their dinner. Amelie
scarcely knew whit the at. The in
timacy of that hiile table, with in
red ro.'i and flickering candle liiiht,
wi too poignantly unreal. The
guitar and the woman's tone, the
icductivc melancholy of the bpmi.h
muiic, held hrr hke a pell.
Above the coffee cup at lat Dun
Reynard leaned over to force her
look with his own. lie had been
gay and impcricuul and charming
for the inotit part. Now, all at one,
he was quiet and terribly in earnest.
"Ann-lie," h laid, "tell tne about
him. I Imd I've got to know, aftci
all. How did it happen? How long
ago was it? Tell tne everything."
So Amelie told him everything, at
last. Beginning and ending with the
l.oney locut.
Don Reynard was quictef than
ever when she had done. His look
of the hidalgo deepened. Harlequin,
out of the garden for good.
"Two years ago." lie commented
briefly. "Does he know how you've
changed?"
"I've tried to tell him." said Ame.
li. She added stubbornly, "I still
love him, of course."
"Of course." said Don Reynard,
politely. And he added; "It's the
sort of thing one' supposed to per
jure one's self about no blesse
oblige!"
"What do you mean?" asked Ame
lie. beginning to tremble.
"Why, I mean." he said hotly,
"that you don't love him now in tho
least that your sense of honor is
driving you." i
"How do you know?"
"Don't ask me that I You don't
really want me to tell you."
"But I do. You have no right to
say . . . How do you know.'
Amclie." he said her name as no
cue else in the world had ever said
it hefore, in the voice that her heart
would remember in Arthur's arms,
"Amclie, I dare you to tell me the
truth as you'll tell it to yourself
too late to help either of us
She said unsteadily: "I've known
vou three days."
"That doesn't matter. You haven't
seen him in two years.'
"We can never mean anything
more to each other you and I."
"Because we mean already all
that there is. You can t deny it.
She repeated hopelessly: "Three
davs on a tram.
"Or on a shin or in a city or
on too of a mountain or on a des
ert island. Don't be foolish Chi
quita! Time has nothing at all to
do with it. I knew, that tirst morn
ing. So did you."
Amelie Hung him a sudden misty
smile. s
"I didn't suppose anyone else in
the world could possibly be so in
sane, did you, truly?" she asked.
After that, though, and after Jus
answering look that sent the color
streaming across her face, she went
back to insisting unhappily.
"It doesn t matter. Nothing can
change things now I promised Ar

"Not faithfully if I throw him

"At least we necdn t he to each

Amehe ooked at his hands, shut
hard on the edge of the table, and
wanted more than anything else in
the world to feel them crushing her
own.
She stood up abruptly, and he fol
lowed. They hesitated beside the
cool sibilauce of the fountain. He
looked down at her stopped the
heart in her breast for a moment
with the dark passion of his eyes.
It would be heaven together, ho
told her. "You won't listen?"
"J can't!" said Amclie, almst with
a sob. And went on before him out
of the dream shadow of the patio
into the well lit comfort of the inn.
On the threshold, though, she
turned, slipped her hand into his for
the space of a long-drawn breath.
"It would be heaven!" she said.
"Good by!"
Then she saw Arthur coming to
ward her from the desk, at the
clerk's direction, and something

Hadn't he gotten a good bit stouter?
And u.-ed he to wear such slochy
clothes? Never mind! He was Ar

"Those chain over by that table

near them."
"Let'i sit in those by that win.
dow," said Arthur. There was some
one near the window. Amclie glanc
ed at him curiously and I'd the way.
Was Arthur himself shy of her now
she had come all this way to him?
Jury sat down in deep leather-covered
arm chairs. Amclie braced her
self to meet at least verbal endear
ments. Arthur, quite obviously,
traced, lumscit as well. He glanced
about, cleared his throat, crossed
ami uncrossed his knees.
"Had you a good trip?" asked
Amebc gently.
"Ycry good very good indeed,"
they made some talk of dust and
heat.
"Did you did vou leave every'
thing all right Arthur?"
"Kxcellent shape, yes, indeed!"
More talk, desultory and. faintly hus
ky of politics and finance in Mexico.
Then, just when Amelie, tired and
heartsick, was ready to ween for un
certainty . . . "Amelie," said
uncertainty . . . "Amelie," said
Arthur hoarsely, "Amclie I've got
something to tell you. I know it
looks rotten. I I know I can never
explain it to you after my-my letters
and all that but the the whole
thing happened so suddenly."
Light like a blinding, scorching
flame struck Amelie breathless. She
thrust through his futile maunder-
mgs:
"Don't bother to be ashamed ahout
if. You're in love with someone
else?"
Arthur set his elbows on his knees
and wrung his hands together with
almost a groan:
"I'm married to her." he burst out
desperately. "She's waiting for me at
a hotel in Los Angeles. I came on
down here to see you and explain.
It's a rotten shame your' taking this
long trip for nothing."
Amelic began to laugh, softly, but
with an exquisite helplessness. She
laughed till the tears stood in her
eyes':
"Look here," said Arthur uneas
ily, "areou hysterical? Would you
like me to call another woman or
something?" ....
"You should have brought your
wife along," said Amclie, still laugh
ing. She was able to control herself
presently, and wiped her eyes.
"Tell me about it, Arthur. I'll
try to be calm. But you don't know
you'll iiever know how terribly
funny all this is."
"I shouldn't exactly call it fun
ny," said Arthur, between remorse
and annoyance. "She she her
mother was a Mexican. They're
ah emotional, you know. Her
mother kept the boarding house I
lived in. I used to see something
of her not much. I I really was
faithful to you, Amelie, although a
man has temptations"
"I remember. You wrote me that
once." said Amclie 'suddenly. "Stupid
of me! I didn't think of the kind that
married you."
Arthur showed disturbance, mental
and perhaps moral. He went on dog
gedly. "But I, as I wrote you I had
everything ready. I wired you to
come, and then the night I was going
to start she Juanita broke down.
She stopped me on the stairs and
well, she w'ent all to pieces I, She was
going to shoot herself. You see, I
had gotten people to talking about
her."
"I see," said Amelic quickly.
"Never mind, Arthur, I see!" The
whole sordid little story spread it
self out before her. Arthur's decent
simplicity the, to any feminine eye,
all loo obvious emotional chicanery
of Juanita. Juanita was dark, doubt
less like the singer in the patio, pow

mouth and a rose in her hair. Amelie

she?"
She had a hard time getting rid of
him after that. But she taw him go
at last, past the desk, out through
the wide doorway of the inn, into
the night, on his way to Jaunita, who
would, now, never again be talked
about.

FIGHT THE FLU;
GUARD YOURSELF
AND HELP OTHERS
i i
Guard yourself and others against !
influenza. Avoid crowds. Sleep
with your bedroom window open. At
the first sign of a cold, fever, sore
throat of that grip feeling consult ,
your doctor.
But, above all, try to keep your :
nose and throat protected day and
night by an antiseptic cream. Flu
germs arc literally breathed into
your nose or throat. ,
For this purpose get from your
druggist at once a bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm. Insert a little into the
nostrils and draw it through all of
the air passages so it reaches the
throat.
Do this as often as may be re
quired to keep nose and throat anti
septic. Do it the last thing at night
and first thing in the morning until
the flu epidemic has passed.
Head colds and catarrh yield like
magic to this antiseptic, healing
cream that soothes swollen, inflamed
membranes of nose and throat. Your
clogged nostrils open right up and
you can breathe freely. Don't stay
stuffed up and miserable.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful of Salts
if Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.
We are a nation of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well-known authority, who
warns us to be constantly on euard
against kidney trouble.
llie kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritatiner acid.
but become weak from the over
work; they get sluggish; the elimina,
tive tissues clog and thus the waste
is retained in the blood to poison the
entire system.
when your kidneys ache and feci
ike lumps of lead, and vou have
stinging pains in the back, or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the niizht: when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning and
in a few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to
neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disor
ders. . Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink, and no
body can make a mistake by taking
a little occasionally to keep the kid
neys clean and active.
fe. Fruit 13 almost always scarce and high-
priced, and lew people grow enough even
for their own use. Most people do not eat
enough fruit for health. V ou ought to grow
sufficient for your own needs and some
to sell.
This is a good year to start an orchard and some
patches of small fruits. Trees and seeds are cheap
now. Don't let any ground go to waste. Make it
produce and make a profit.
