CHAPTER III. (Continued.)

"It might bo scarlet fovor," Max
broko In cheerfully. "I Bay, flcnrlot
forcr on a Mongolianwhat color
would ho bo, Jimmy? What do yel
low and red mnko? Grooti?"
"Orange," Jim Bald shortly. "1 wish
you peoplo would romombor that wo
are trying to eat."
The fact was, howovor, that no ono.
waa really eating, except Mr. Harbl
eon, who had given up trying to un
derstand ua, considering, no doubt,
our subdued oxcttomont as our nor
mal condition. Agos' afterward I
learned that ho thought my faco al
most tragic that night, and that ho
supposed, from the way I glared
across tho table, that I had quarrolod
wltto my husband I
AI am afraid you aro not woll," ho
said at last, noticing my food un
touched on my plato. . ''We should
not havo como, any of ua.",
"I am perfectly well' 1 repod fo
TorlBhly. "I am novor 111. I I ato a
late luncheon," ' ' ' v
Ho glanced at mb' keenly.' "Don't
let them stay and' play bridge to
night," ho urged. "Miss Caruthers can
be an oxouoo, can alio not?, And you
are really fagged. You look It,"
"I think it is only ill humor," I
said, looking directly nt him. "I nm
angry at tnysolf, I have done some
thing nllly, nnd I hnto to bo silly."
Max would havo said "Jmpoenlblo,"
or something clso trlto, Tho Harbi
son man lookod at mo with interested
serious ayes.
mIb It too lato to undo it?" ho nflked.
And thon and thoro I determined that
he should novor know1 tho truth. He
could go back to Sdtith Amortcn und
build bridges and mako lovo to the
Spanish girls (or aro they Spanish
dowrr thero?) and think of mo always
as a married woman, married to a
dllettnnto artist, inclined .to bo stout
tho artist, not I and' with an Aunt
Bellna Caruthers who mado buttons
awl believed in tho Cause. But novor,
never should ho think of mo as a silly
lltllo fool who protended that sho was
the, other man's wlfo and had a lump
In hor throat bccauBo' tytfou. 4 roally
ii lei man camo along, ' a wan who
knew something more than polo and
motors, sho had td carry on tho docop-
tlen to keep his respect, and bo bo-
flate and matronly, nnd boo him
r.haugo from, porfoctly opon admira
tion at first to a hands-oft-oho-lB-my-kost's-wifo
nttltudo at last.
"It can never bo undouo," I said
aoberly,
Well, that'B tho plcturo as nenrly as
J can draw It; a round tnblo with a
low contorpleco of orchids In laven
ders and pink, old sllvor candlesticks
frith flllgroo shades against tbo som
Mr wnlnBcotlngi nlno peoplo, two of
tbem unhappy Jim nnd I; bno of
them complacent Aunt Sollnaj ono
jiussled Mr. Hnrbluon; and tho rest
hysterically rolrt,kful, Add ono Blck
Japanese buUur and grind in tho mills
of tho gods.
iJvery ono promptly forgot Takivhlro
lu the excitement of thn gamo wo
-were all playing, Finally, howovor,
Aunt Bellna, who Boomed to havo Ta
Itahlrp on hor mind, looked up from
ktr plate.
'"That Jan wns Bpccklod," oho as
verted. "I wouldn't bo aurprlsod if It's
HseasloH. . lias'' ho boon snltlllng,
James?"
"1IW lie bcoH animiugr Jim throw
Across at' mo.
MI hadn't noticed it." 1 said meekly,
-whllo tho others choitod.
Max tiamo to the roscuo. "Shb'ro-
iwm& to oat It," ho explained, dls
Unctly and to ovorybody, apropos nb
eolutely bf nothing, "it said on tho
Mw, 'ready cooked nnd prodlgosted.1
Bke declared sho didn't caro who
cooked it, but sho wanted to know
who prcdlgcsted It."
As ovory ono wanted to laugh, ovory
ono did it then, and under cover of
tho noise I caught Anno's eye, and wo
left tho dining-room. Tho men stayed,
nnd by th'o very firmness with which
tho door closed behind us, 1 knew
that Dallas .and Max wcro bringing
out the bottles that Tnknhlro bad hid
den. I was Bcethlng. Whon Aunt
Sellna Indicated n-dcslro to go over
tho houso (It was natural that sho
should want to: It was her houso, In
a way) I excused myself for a minute
and. flow back to the dining room.
It wan afl I had expoctod. Jim
hadn't cheered perceptibly, and tho
rest wero patting him on tho back,
and pouring things out for him, and
saying, "Poor old Jim" in tho most
maddening way. And tho Harbison
man wns looking moro and moro puz
zled, nnd not nt all hilarious.
I descendod on them llko a thundor
bolt. "Thnt's It!" I cried Bhrowlshly, with
my back against tho door. "Leave
hor to me, all of you, and pnt each
othor on tho back, and say It's gono
splendidly! Oh, I know you, overy
ono!" Mr. Harbison got up and
pulled out a chair, but I couldn't sit;
I folded my arms on tho back. "Aftor
a while, I supposo, you'll nllp upstairs,
tho four of you, and havo your game."
Thoy lookod guilty. "Ilut I will block
that right now. I am going to stay
hero, If Aunt Bellna wants me, sho
enn find mo horo!"
Tho first Indication those men nnd
that Mr. Harbison didn't know the
stnto of affairs was when ho turned
nnd faced them,
"Mrs. WilBon is quite right," ho
snld gravely. "Wo'ro a selfish lot. If
Miss Caruthors Is a responsibility, let
us shnro bar,"
To nrms!" Jim snid, with an affec
tation of lightness, as thoy put their
glnsscB down, nnd throw open tho
door. Dnl's rotort, "WhoHO?'f was lost
In tho confusion, and wo wont Into tho
library. On tho way Dallas managed
to speak to mo.
"If. Harbison doosn't know, don't
toll him," ho said In an undertone
'Ho'a a queer duck. In somo ways:
ho mightn't think it futiny."
"Funny," I choked. "It's tho least
funny thing I over experienced. De
ceiving that Harbison man Isn't so
bad ho thinks mo crazy, anyhow,
Ho's boon staring his oyos out at
mo "
"I don't wonder, You'ro lovoly to
night, Kit, nnd you look llko a vixen."
"Uut to dccolvo that harmless old
lady well, thank goodnoss, it's nine,
and she loavos in an hour or bo."
Uut she didn't. And thnt'a tho story.
CHAPTER IV.
The Door Wat Closed.
It wan Infuriating to boo how much
enjoyment ovory one but Jim and my
solf got out bt tho situation. Thoy
howled with mirth ovor tho fooblcst
"That's Itl" I Cried Shrewlahly.
Jokos, nnd whon Max told a story
without nny point whntovor, thoy all
had hysteria. Immediately after din
ner Aunt Sellna had begun on the
family connection again, nnd after two
bad breaks on my part, Jim offered
to show hor tha Iioubo. Tho Morcor
girls tratlod tilong. unwilling to loso
nny of tho possibilities. Thoy said
nftorward that It was torrlblo; Bho
went Into all tho closets, nnd ran her
hand ovor (ho tpps of doors nnd kept
gottlng grimmer nnd grimmer. In
tho studio thoy enmo across a lifo
qtudy Jim 'was doing and sho Bhut
her oyos nnd mado tho girls go out
wh.Ua ho covored U with a drapery,
Lolllol Who did tho Dacchnnto dnnco
at tfyroo bonoflts Inst winter nnd was
learning a now ono cnllod "Evol"
Whon thoy hoard Aunt Sellna on
the second floor, Anno, Dal and Max
sneaked up to tho etudlp for cigarettes,
fallen left Mr. HarbUon to mo. I was
n, tha don, Bitting In u low chnlr by
the wood fro whon ho camo In. Ho
hesitated in, tho doorway,
"Would, you profor bolng nlono, or
may I como in?" ho asked. "Don't
mind being' frank. I know you aro
tired."
"I havo a hondncho, and I nm sulk-
Jdk' I Bald unploasantly, "but nt
least I nm not actively vonomous,
Como iu."
t Bo ho cutno and sats down across
thq hearth from mo, and neither of us
euld anything. Tho flrollght flickered
over tho room, briuelncr out tho faded
hues ot tho old Japanese prints on' tho:
walls, gloaming In tho mothor-at-pearl
bves ot tha drnKon on tho scroon. sot
ting a grotesque god on n cabinet to
podding. And It throw Into roltot tho
strong, clonr profllo of tho man across
from mo, as ho stared at tho lire
"I nm afraid I am not vory Interest
ing," I said at Ia8t.whon ho showod
no alga, pt breaking tho, silence.. "Th'o,
tho IllucsB of tho butler and Miss
Caruthers' arrival, havo been upsot-ting."
Ho suddenly roused with n start
from a brown revorlo.
"I beg your pardon," he said, "I
oh, of courso not! I was wondering
if I if you wero offended nt what I
said earlier in tho evening:' tho
Brushwood Hoy, you know, and all
that"
"Offended?" I repeated, puzzled.
"You soo, I havo been living out ot
tho world so long, and novor soolng
nny women ,but Indian squaws" so
thero wero no Spanish girls! "that
I'm afraid I say what comos into my
mind without circumlocution. And
thon I did not know you wcro mar
rlcd."
"No, oh, no," I said hastily, "nut,
of courso, tho moro a woman is mar
ried I mean, you cannot tiny too
many nlco things to married women.
Thoy need them, you know."
I had floundered mlsorably, with his
eyes on mo, and I half cxpoctcd him
to bo shocked, or to say that married
women should be sntlsfled With tho
nlco things tholr husbands say to
thorn. But 'ho merely remarked
apropos of nothing, or following a lino
of thought ho had not voiced, that It
was trlto but truo that a good many
men owed tholr success In life to
tholr wIvob.
"And a good many owo tholn-wlves
to their buccobb In life," I rotorted
cynically. At which ho stared at mo
again.
It was then that tho real complexity
of tho situation begnn to develop.
Somo ono hud rung tho bell nnd been
admitted to tho library nnd n mnld
enmo to tho door of tho den. When
sho saw us sho stoppod uncertainly.
Even thon It struck me that sho look
ed odd, nnd oho wrb jjot In uniform.
iiowovcr, i wns not nirormoa nt mat
tlmo about bacholor establishments,
and tho first thing she snld, whon sho
had nsked to apeak to mo In tho hall,
knocked hor and hor clothos clear out
of my head. Evidently sho knew.
"Miss McNnlr," she said In a low
tono, "thoro Is a lady In tho drawing
room, a veiled person, and sho Is ask
ing for Mr. Wilson."
"Can you not find -him?" I nsked.
"Ho Is In tho houso, probably In tlio
studio."
Tho girl hesitated.
"Excuse mo, miss, but MIbs Caruth
ers "
Thon I saw tho situation.
"Novor mind," I said. "Closo tho
door into tho drawing room, nnd I
will toll Mr. Wilson."
Dut as tho girl turned toward tho
doorway, the porson In question ap
peared in it, and raised her veil. I
was porfectly paralyzed. It was Holla!
Delia in a fur coat and a veil, with
tho most ftraglc oyos I ever( sawand
ontlroly whlto except for a dab' bf
rougo In tho mlddlo ot oach chook.
Wo stared at oach othor without
speech. Tho maid turned and went
down tho hall, and with that Dolla
camo ovor to mo and clutched ma. by
4..
ino arm. f ' , l u
"Who was bolng 'carried out Into
. t , , , . . . . .
that ambulance?" she dorannded,
glaring at; mo with tho nost awful In
tensity. "I'm sure I don't know, nolln," I
said, wriggling away from -her flngors.,
"What In tho world aro you doing
herq? I thought you woro In Europe."
"You aro hiding something from
met" sho, accused. "It 1b Jim! I sco
It hi your- fa,co.".
"Woll, It Isn't," I snnnpod. "It
BoomB to mc, rqally, Delia, that you
and Jim ought tp bo nblo to mnnago
your own affairs, without dragging
mo in." It was not pleasant, but If
sho was suffering, so wns I. "Jim Is
aa woll as ho ovor was. Ho'n upstairs
somowhoro. I'll' send for him."
.Sho gripped mo again, and hold on
whllo hor. color camo back.
"You'll !do nothing of tho kind," sho
snld, nnd) sho hud quite got hold of
horsclt again. "I do not wnnt to boo
htm: I hof)o you don't think, Kit, thnt
I camo horo to boo Jamos Wilson.
Why, I havo forgotten that thoro is
ouch a porson, and you know It,"
Somobody upstairs laughed, nnd I
wna growing nervous. What if Aunt
Sollna should como down, or Mr. Har
bison como out of tho don?
"Why did you como, thon, Dola?"
I inquired, "jig may como In."
"I Was passing In th motor," sho
sald, nnd I honestly think she hoped I
would bollovo hor, "and I flaw thnt
am" Sho stoppod and began again.
"I thought Jim wns out of town, ami
I camo to sco Takahlro, Bho said
brazenly. "Ho was dovotod to mo.
nnd Evans Is going to loavo. I'll toll
you whnt to do, Kit. I'll go back to
tho dining room, and you Bond Taka
thoro. It any ono comos, I can slip
Into tho pantry."
(TO B12 CONTINUED.)
ALL SHE WANTED.
"Darling," caid tho happy old gen
tleman to tho beautiful girl who waa
permitting him to hold hor hand, "you
aro not going to marry mo Just for my
money, aro you?"
"Of courso not," sho repllod. "What
ever caused you to think I might do
such a thing?"
"I don't know. It was foolish ot me
to permit such a thought to como Into
my mind, wasn't It?"
"Of courso."
"Forglvo mo, won't you?"
"Yes this tlmo."
"I will novor think It again."
"Art! you suro you won't?"
''Certainly. Why -shouldn't I bo

inoro's no reason wny you
shouldn't ba suro; but I want you to
do something for mo."
"What Is It, Bwoothonrt?"
"Wrlto mo a lot ot Billy letters bo

Dainties for Saint Valentine's Day.
In preparing sandwiches for a Val
entino party, tho npproprlato shapo 18
of course, a heart. It Is a good plan
when serving sandwiches to have sev
eral kinds. The-following. aro a few
suggestions which may bo now to
some:
Sardines shredded and seasoned
with chill sauco botwocn slices of
whlto broad. Yellow tomato preserved
with glngor or lemon between whlto
broad sandwiches. Gingerbread spread
with croam cheeso and thin slices of
preserved ginger. Noufchatol cheeso
seasoned with salt, croam, paprika,
Worcestershire sauco and a half cup
of chopped nuts, put botween bIIccb of
graham or ryo bread. A delicious
swcot sandwich may bo mado by ba
king a plain spongo enko in sheets,
thon cut with the henrt cutter and
put togothor with flavored, sweetened
whipped cream.
Peaches and Oranges.
Drain tho lulco from a can of
poaches, peel thrco oranges to n pint
of peaches. Arrango tho soctlons of
orango alternately with tho peaches,
aprlnklo with sugar ah"d pour ovor tho
swoetoncd Julco of tho poaches. Servo
very cold.
Delicious Salad.
Cut squares of cream cheese, lay
In tho bloachod cup ot head lettuce.
Roll tho choeso In chopped nuts, gar
nish with half a walnut moat and a
fow soodod whlto grapes. Just be
fore serving add mayonnnlso dress
ing. Another nlco way of serving cheeso
Is to season cream cheese, add
chopped nuts and uso this mlxturo to
stuff dates.
Nut Cookies.
Beat tho yolks of two eggs until
thick, add a cup ot brown sugar, ono
cup of chopped nut meats and tho
stiffly beaton whites of two eggs; add
six tablespoonfuls of flour and a pinch
ot salt.,. Sproad an a buttered shoot

Whon tho clock refuses to run. try

Household Hints.
During tho cold months, whon hang
ing out clothos on wnsh day, It may
bo well to romombor that thero aro
ways of making that task ploasanter.
For ono wny, hang tho small things
llko handkerchiefs and -napkins on the
clothes horso and sot them out on the
back porch out ot tho wind, to freozo
and dry.
Anothork holp is to warm tho
clothes pins In tho oven until quite
hot: It is surprising how long thoy
will keep warm and how much It helps
In quickly plnclng tho clothes, to have
worm fingers. -: - -1
A cuBtard plo may naso as sevoral
varieties: by adding a few tablespoon
tula ot cocoahut, it is a cocoanut plo,
A llttlo chocolato makes It another.
whllo carmellzlng tho sugar beforo
adding it to tha custard gives another
flavor decidedly pleasant.
Dried peas aro much cheaper than
the canned vnrlety, and can bo used
Just no many ways. Try thorn with
a stew of mutton, putting tho peas
In with tho meat and cook slowly for
sovoral hours. Tho peas season tho
moat and tho moat adds to tho flavor
ot tho peas.

Thero is so much that must (of ne

Whero thero Is an accumulation of

DoctorsSaid He Would Die
A Friend's AWh Satis Lid
I wish to speak of the wonderful cure
that I have received from your noted
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and blad
der cure. Last summer I was taken with
severe pains in toy back and sides. I
could not breathe without difficulty and
was nearly wild with the desiro to urinate.
Was compelled to do so every ten min
utes with the passage of pure blood with
the urine. I tried all tho different doc
tors from far and near, but they said it
was no use to doctor as I would die any
way. I was at the end of my rope and
was so miserable witn pain and t&e
thought that I must dio that words can
not tell how I felt. One day a friend told
me of tho wonderful help she had received
ft-om Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. She gave
mo one of your pamuphlcts which I read
and determined to try Swamp-Root. After
taking half a bottle I felt better. Have
now taken ten bottles and am well as I
ever was, thanks to Swamp-Root. I wish
to tell all suffering people that bare kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble, that Dr. Kil
mer's Swamp-Root is the best medicine on
the market.
I All rersons doubtins this statement can
write to me and I will answer them di
rectly. Yours very truly,-
