"Playing tho part of Mrs. Wilson 1"
ho repeated. "Do you mean ?"
".Exactly. Playing tho part, She is
not Mrs. Wilson. It seems that that
honor bolonged at ono tlmo to Miss
Knowles. I bellovo such things are
not unknown in Now York, only"why
in tho name of sonso does n man
want to dlvdrco a woman and then
moot her at two o clock in tho morn-
lue to kiss tho placo whoro his own
wedding ring used to roBt?"
Jim ftdgetedT Delia waB having
Bpasms of mirth to herself, but tho
Harbison man did not smllo. Ho
stood for a moment looking nt tho
llro: Then ho thrust bis hands deep
into the pockots of his dressing-gown
and stalked over to mo; Ho did not
care that tho others wore watching
and listening. ,
"Is it truo?" ho demanded, staring
down at mo. "You aro not Mrs. Wil-
son? You aro not marrlod at all? All
that about bolnc neglected and
lonthlncr him. and all that on tho
roof thero was no foundation of
truth?"
I could only shako my hoad with
out looking up. Thero was no defenso
to make. Oh, I deserved, tho scorn in
his voice.
"They thoy persuaded you, I sup-
pose, and it was to help somebody? It
was not a practical Joko?"
"No." I ralllod a Uttlo spirit nt
that. It had been anything but a
Joke,
Ho drow a long breath.
"I think I understand," ho said
alowly, "but you could have saved
mo something. I must havo given you
all a great deal of amusement."
"Oh, no' I protested. "I I want
to toll you"
But ho dollboratoly left mo and
went ovor to tho door. Thero ho
turned and lookod down at Aunt So-
Una, Ho was a Uttlo white, but there
was no passion In his faco.
"Thank you for tolling mo all this,
Miss Caruthors," Ijo said oaslly. "Now
that you and I know, I'm afraid the
others will miss tholr Uttlo diversion,
Good night."
Oh, it wob all right for Jim to
laugh and. Bay that ho waa only huffed
n Uttlo and would bo over It by morn-
ing. I know better. There was Bomo-
thing queor In his faco as ho went
out Ho did not oven glanco In my
direction. Ho had said vory Uttlo, but
ho had nut me as effectually in tho
wrong ns If ho had not kissed mo
deliberately kissed me that very eve-
king, en the roof. '
I did not go to Bleep again, I lay
wmtchodlv thinklnir things ovor and
trvinir to remember who Jezebel was.
and toward morning I distinctly heard
tho knob of tho door turn. I mis-
trustod my ears, howovor, and so I
got up quietly and wont ovor In tho
darkness. Thero was no sound out-
side but whon I put my hand on tho
knob I folt It move under my Angora.
Tho counter pressure evidently alarm
ed whoever It yas, for tho knob wns.
released and nothing more happened.
But by this tlmo anything so uncom
plicated as tho fumbling or a knob at
night had no power to disturb mo. I
wont back to bod.

Harbison oxamlncd tho tolephono.
Ho did not glanco In my direction.
Dotty and Dal wore helping htm, and
ho Annmnrl unrv ftinnrfnl AfnY anf
with mo on tho stairs. Mr. Harbison
had Just unscrewed tho tolephono box
from tho wall and was squinting Into
It, when Delia camo downstairs. It
was her flrst appearance but as oho
was always late, nobody noticed.
When sho stopped, Just abovo us on
tho stairs, however, wo looked up,
and she was holding to tho rail and
trembling porcoptibly.
"Mr. Harbison, will you enn you
como upstairs?" sho asked. Her voice
was Btratned, almost reedy, and hor

"Pa were wnuo.
Mr. Harbison stared up at her, with

her face In her .handkerchief.
"Jim is sick," sho Bald, with a sob.
"Ho ho doesn't want anything to

ho doesn't want anything but va

"Great Scott!" Dal snld suddonly.
"Supposo hd should Bella, aro you

Bolla put down 1 hor handkerchief
and got up From her position on tho
stairs sho looked down on us with
something of her old haughty manner,
"If ho is ill, you may blamo your-
selves, all of you," sho said cruelly,
"You taunted him with boing fat,
and laughed at him, until ho stopped
eating tho things ho should eat. And
ho haB boon exorcising on tho roof,
until ho has worn ihlmsolf out. And
now ho Is ill. He ho has a rash
Evorybody Jumped at that, and wo
Instinctively movod away from Bella.
Sho was qulto cold and scornful by
that tlmo.
"A rash!" Max exclaimed. "What
Bort of rash?"
"I did not seo it," 'Bella sajd with
dignity, and turning sho went up tho
stairs,
Thero was a great deal of exclto-
mont, and nobody oxcopt Mr. Harbi
son was willing to go near Jim. Ho
wont up nt onco with Bella, whilo
Max and Dal sat cravenly downstairs
and wondered if we would all tako it,
'and Anno told about a man sho know
who had It, and was deaf and dumb
aud blind when ho recovered,
Mr. Harbison camo 'down after a
while, and Bald that tho rash was
thoro, right onougb; and that Jim ab-
solutoly refused to bo quarantined;
that .ho insisted that ho always got a
rash, from oarly strawborrles and that
If ho did havo anything, slnco they
wore so touchy ho hoped thoy would
all get It If thoy locked him in ho
would kick the door down.
When tho dpctor camo ho said It
was too early to tell positively, and
ho ordered him liquid dlot and said
ho would bo back that evening,
Which tho diet takes me buck to
tho famine. After they had moved
Jim, Mr. Harbison wont back to tho
telephone, and. found everything as
it should be. So ho followed tho tele-
phbno wlro, and tho rest followed
him. 1 did not: Ho had systematical-
ly Ignorod mo all morning, after bay-
lng dared to kiss me tho night before
And any othor man I know, aftor look-
ing at me tho way ho had lookod a
dozen times, would Jiavo been nt least
reasonably giaa 10 nnu mo iroo ana
unmarrlod. But It was clour that ho
was not: I wondered If ho was tho
kind of man who always makos lovo
tr tho othor man's wlfo and runa liko
mad when sho Is left a widow, or gets
a dlVorco. ,
And Just when I had decided that I
hated him, and that thoro was ono
man I knew who wouia novot1 make
lovo to a woman whom ho thought
married and thon bo very dignified
and aloof When ho found sho wasn't, I
heard what was wrong with tho teloi
phono wlro.
It hnd boon cut! Qut through with
pair of silver manlcuro scissors
from tho dressing tdblo In Bella's
rdbm, whero Aunt Sellna slept! Tho
wlro had been clipped whero It camo
Into tho houso, Just under a window,
and tho scissors still lay on tho sill.
It. was mystorlouB enough, but no
ono was Interested In tho mystery
Just thon. Wo wanted food, and want
ed It at onco. Mr. Harbison fixed tho
wlro, and tho first thing wo did, ot
courso, was to order soraothlilg to eat
Aunt Sollna wont to bod Just after
luncheon with Indigestion, to tho re
lief of every ono In the houae.v She
had boon most unpleasant all morn
ing,
Whon Bho found horsclf ill, how
ever, sho Insisted on having Bella,
and that nindo trouble at once. Wo
found Bolla with her chock against
tho door into Jim's room, looking
maudlin whilo ho shouted lbvo mes
sages to her from the othor Bldo. At
first oho refused to stir, but after
Anno and Max had tried and failed,
tho rest of us went to hor in a body
and implored hor. Wo said Aunt
Sollna was In, nwful shape which
sho was, as to omper arid that sho'
naa thrown .a mustara piaster at
Anne, which waB truo,
So Bella wont, grumbling, and Jim
was a maniac. Wo had not thought it
would be so bad for Bella, but Aunt
Sollna fell asleep soon after she took
charge, holding Bella's hand, and
Blopt for threo hours and never let
go!
About two that aftornoon- the sun
canio out, and tho rost of us wont up to
tho roof.
I stayed on tho roof after tho oth
ers had gono, and for somo tlmo I
thought I was alono. After a while,
I got a' whiff of smoke, and then I
saw Mr. Harbison far ovor In the cor-,
nor, ono foot on the parapot, moodily
smoking a pipe. He was gazing out
over tho river, and paying no atten-j
lion to ma. mis wu naiurm, iw
slderlng that I had hardly spoken to
him all day.
I would not let him drlvo me away,
so I sat still, and it grow darkor and,
colder. Ho filled his plpo now and
then, but he nover looked in my dl-j
rectlon. Finally, however, aa It grew
vory dusk, ho knocked tho ashes out,
and came toward mo.
"I am going to mako a request, Miss
McNalr," ho said evenly. "Ploaso koep
off the roof attor sunset. Thoro

nronnrlnir to go downstairs.
"Unless I know tho reasons, I ro
fuse to do anything of tho kind," I re
'tortcd. Ho bowod.
"Then tho door will bo kopt lock
ed," ho rojolnod, and opened It for
jno. Ho did not follow mo, but, stood
watching until I was down, and I
heard him close tho roof door firmly
behind mo:

Tho child promised to deliver tho

"That Is tho only way on earth to

It's a Jokor In tho Dick militia bill, en
acted luto law by congress on May 27,
1908.
Tho Dick bill originally provided for
an actual army ot United States volun
teers similar to tho volunteers who en
listed for tho Spanlsh-Amorlcan wnr
attor stnto organizations woro found
to bo troublesome
Tho bill nlso provtdod for n soparato

officers woro to be commissioned whon
tho army ot United Statos volunteers,
subject only to tho will of tho commander-in-chief
ot tho armies ot tho

Tho section providing for tho vol

In tho courso ot a legislative wranglo
ovor tho prlvtloge of the stntes to or

ntlng tho array was thus destroyed, but
tho contingent section bringing Into ox
