The implication couldn’t be dodged, so Barbara, a little later, left the three gathered around the drawing-room fire. Steve frowning at the tip oi his cane which traced erratic patterns, Esther, sipping the glass which the gelid Hos kins had brought her, Mrs. Twining lying back with an ai; of expectancy. Barbara’s nerves were on edge. She wanted to break up the intimate circle with an announcement that she be longed in it as much as Esther, that she was quite as pood as Esther was; but as she paraded through the great, empty rooms she realized that she couldn’t say that yet, be cause she had no idea how good or bad she was, and she hadn’t been able to make a single effort to learn. Mrs. Slocum increased her irrita tion. “You’re out of sorts, my dear. No wonder. I don’t see why you bury yourself here when you could be a hit in a musical just by letting tehm see you. And you’d have chances. The men would Hock ... So little Esther’s dropped from the skies! Don’t like that piece of glass. You never know where you stand with her.” Then Mrs. Twining’s unex pected question towards the close of their lonely dinner added to Barbara’s discomfort. “You’ve never seen my niece before, Miss Norcross?” “Once, by chance in Elm ford, where I lived until I came here.” "So I’m told. Esther would have been with Caroline Man vel. Extraordinary woman, Caroline. She’s got her eye on that throne Steve was joking about to-day. You must have seen those old friends of mine. Barbara looked down. “Barely. I did see Gray Man suffered I considei myself very fortunate to have found you. Don’t utter stupilities again; they're abominable for my health. You’re good medi cine. You wouldn’t take her onic away from an old cripple?” As they crept across the (ndless polished floors slu :aid brightly: “Why don’t you have your friends? I don’t ’iiean to exile you from them.’ It touched Barbara, because she could see Mrs. Twining was sacrificing. “I haven’t many friends." The imperial old lady nailed skeptically. “And I must see that you get out more.” Barbara was glad of her daring; it made a smal breach in the walls. Through it, oddly, she ventured first back to Elmford. Uncle Walter wrote her frequently the nar rative of the store, the house, and the village. From the quarrel the night before her flight his romantic sould seemed to have received a special mission to report on everything he heard about Gray Manvel. Young Manvel had visited the store a number of times. Young Manvel hadn’t been at the big house since Thanksgiving. His par ents were going to New York for week-ends, presumably to be with him. She could make what she pleased of this re cord. In his naive fashion he set it down impersonally, as a matter of general interest. He was worried about his wife. “She hasn’t been up to snuff since that unlucky night, Bobbie. I think if you came to see her, and didn’t say anything about what upset her so then, it would do her a lot of good. There’s no earthly use nagging her about that anyway, so let’s all be friends again. She has tried to be o mother to you.” bJeruhizetWax Keeps Skin Young Get in ounce %nd use as directed.

CASTORIA WILL DO IT! When your child needs regulating, remember tlifs: the organs of babies and children are delicate. Little bowels must be gently urged—never forced. That’s why Castoria is used by so many doctors and mothers. It is specially made for children’s ail ments; contains no harsh, harmful drugs, no narcotics. You can safely give it to young infants for colic pains. Yet it is an equally effective regulator for older children. The nert time your child has a little cold or fever, or a digestive upset, give him the help of Castoria, the children’s own remedy. Genuine Castoria al ways has the name: THE FORBIDDEN YEARS by WADSWORTH CAMP 1 She longed to ask where Gray Manvel was, why he hadn’t seen her again as he had promised, or threatened, to do. Of course Steve wouldn’t tell her about Gray any more than he’d inform Gray where she was hidden away. “Mrs. Twining’s pleased with you.” “I’m glad.” Mrs. Twining, later pouring tea, spoke in her brittle voice. “Let me see, Steve, have I, or have I not, thanked you for sending Miss Norcross to a poor ancient derelict?” Barbara’s regard of her em ployer was a shade sardonic. Mrs. Twining decidedly wasn’t poor, nor very ancient, nor derelict except through her own devising. Beneath her white hair her sharp eyes had plenty of vitality; they saw everything, just as her delicate ears missed nothing. Her tall body tending to emaciation, was enfolded in soft silk and old lace. The chair in which she sat had come from a palace; the spreading rugs had been woven centuries ago for another; the canvases on the walls of the enormous room belonged in a museum. The whole house was like that, full of treasures that sensible, Lo watch my cronies’ children playing the monkey Now looy! There’s an ex ample. Speaking of thrones, that’s what mine’s worth. It’s the first time she’s paid he: court in months, and she lives within a mile.” Barbara caught her breath, and her feet dragged. She didn’t know why she should shrink from this encounter with the fragile form that floated around a curve of the hedge. Perhaps it was an ac count of the unavoidable chain of questions that rattled through her mind. When had little Esther seen Gray last? Had Gray ever held her fra gility in the unbreakable circle of his arms? Had he brought warmth to her crim son, languid mouth? Barbara resented her thoughts, but they were Gray’s fault, because he had in a flash lifted her to a new plane where jealousy drowsed with other primitive emotions. She had, moreover, a cautionary reluctance to go forward. Esther’s glance was on her unseeingly, but that night in Elmford she had seen clearly enough the girl whom Gray wouldn’t let Roberts drive home. ft Fir Better Extern!

Barbara never felt at ease in it, because its extravagance led her back to the mist covered luxuries of her youth, and made her doubt if she ought to occupy a position which, in spite of anything Steve might say, wasn’t far removed from that of the housekeeper or the lesser servants. She questioned now while she listened to the brittle voice if she would here, as In Elmford, soon have to seek a means of escape. ‘‘Miss Norcross reads so pleasantly, and it’s a pleasure to look at her. The last one I had squinted and took, I’m certain, too much coffee.” Barbara was never sure just how sincere an invalid Mrs. Twining was. Perhaps she had too much egoism to grow old normally, in the public view, and so made herself the hub of her own tiny, guarded em pire. She still possessed power of a sort, for people were al- j ways writing or telephoning about charities and enter- i tainments, or asking to see her out of friendship; but usually she put them off, or else with her Imperial air bluntly refused to be bothered. Steve was an exception; she was happy to have him. She motioned Barbara to help her rise. “Perhaps you 11 join our ramble, Steve, before you run along.” That was the one interest Barbara had found in the house, drawing the strange woman out of her neuras thenia. More and more she had persuaded her to remain downstairs for dinner, al though those meals served in a great hall of a dining room by Hoskins, a man as silent and chill as a shape of snow, were fairly trying; and now In this crisp January weather she had got her In the custom of a brief stroll about the grounds. Steve’s cane accomodated Itself to their modest pace while Mrs. Twining made the most of his presence, draw ing him out about her old friends whom she no longer cared to see. “Why don’t you come back to the world. Adelaide? There’s an empty throne waiting.” She snrtled grimly. “I’m too old, too ill, too Jap Beetles Threaten Princeton Primroses Princeton, N. J. — (UP) — Inva sion by Japanese beetles is seriously endangering Princeton university's most expensive single scientific ex periment, consisting of 30,000 eve ning primrose plants used in prov ing that evolution proceeds by sud den and not gradual processes. The plants, w'hich cover several acres of ground, include 410 inval uable pedigree families of the flower *nd 400 to 500 distinct type* some Esther’s lips brushed Mrs. Twining’s cheek. “Hello, Steve! It’s a crowd.” Barbara waited under a strain, purely Esther didn’t see her as she tucked her hand under Mrs. Twining’s arm and set the march again In motion. Steve spoke dreamily. “Esther, Miss Norcross comes from Elmford.” Esther’s vibrationless voice gave nothing away. “Aunt Adelaide has so many companions, Miss Norcress. I suppose Mr. Waters caught you for her. There's a new one every time I come.” Mrs. Twining chided in her dry way. “If you came oftener, Esther, you’d keep more in touch with my small family.” “Warn you. Aunt Adelaide, I won’t be scolded. I’m not in the swamps much this time of year; too many orgies in town.” “Then,” Mrs. Twining crackled, “why this descent?” j “Big shakedown at Mill Pond, so I thought I’d spend the night at home, and take a squint at you angel.” Mrs. Twining’s tone was dryer than ever. “Then your mother didn’t send you to an elderly in valid?” “How absurd! I’m never sent. I wouldn’t be sent any where by anybody.” Steve laughed. ’’You ought to have a hus band. Barbara’s heart quickened as Mrs. Twining’s question followed with a dreadful in evitability. “How’s Gray Manvel? I’d let that young man come see me if he took the pains to ask.” Esther spoke sharply. “What’s he got to do with it?” Barbara fancied he had quite a lot to do with it. Steve waved his cane. "Gray never thinks of any one he isn’t immediately with.” Mrs. Twining turned to Esther. “But he’s with you lots, baby. You don’t mean there’s a rift there?” Esther flashed a glance at Barbara then. “Aunt Adelaide, you never cease surprising me with your titanic resistance. Mighn’t we get in out of the cold? Do of which are related to plants de veloped by Devries, famous Dutch botanist, in 1887, according to Dr. George H. Shu’l, professor of ge netics and botany. The primroses have been devel oped here since 1915, when they were brought from the Carnegie In stitution for experimental evolution at Cold Spring Harbor, L. I., where Dr. Shull commenced thi work In 1905. CAT NEARLY WASHED, IRONED Fort Collins, Colo.—t UP)—If the j cat hadn’t “meowed,’’ it might have i boon washed and ironed. Mr*. A. | vel play football once.” Mrs. Twining smiled. “I envy you. He must have been very brilliant. You know, I often think the one draw back of great brilliancy is that it makes the possesor too self centered. If he were here Gray would make me believe him fonder of me than of any other old crock in the world. Since he isn’t I never even enter his head.” Momentarily Barbara closed her eyes. It was logically true. Probably she hadn’t been in Gray’s head since that night. To him their moment on the steps had been an incident easily forgotten, but for her it retained a unique and bitter savor. She couldn’t get Gray out of her head, and it didn’t help to hear him talked | about. She was doubtfully , aware, moreover, of change in her relations with her em ployer; steadily the invalid treated her less as a com- : panion and more as a recep tacle for confidential chatter. She felt herself each day led deeper into the cloister, in creasingly entangled in its dreary ritual. As she helped Mrs. Twining leave the table she made her final fluttering effort to escape. “Mrs. Twining, I ve won dered if I’m just what you need.” The bony hand grasped Barbara's shoulder; the sharp eyes narrowed. “Why dp you say that? Did you overhear anything this afternoon?” Anger swept Barbara. Then they had talked about her around the fire. but I’ve had so little ex perience at this sort of work.” 1 Her temper let her dare it. “And I thought your niece looked at me as if she doubted j I was the perfect companion for you.” Mrs. Twining released her. Barbara had never heard her voice more brittle. “Don’t you fret about what my niece or anyone else thinks.- I’ll think for myself, and for some others, too, as long as I live.” She patted Barbara's hand. “After the profesisonals I’ve L.

It weakened Barbara. Of course she’d go for a day, but she kept putting it off. The one friend who was likely to seek her behind the walls finally arrived and set her in motion. She had an idea that there was strategy in Harvey’s having waited so long, for of course the Gardners had told him where she was at the start. Reluctantly released from her reading by Mrs. Twining, who had gone to bed, she entered the big room where a fire still blazed, and faced a stranger. She hadn’t seen Harvey since the night by the meeting house when she had sent him away. From clothing, carriage and appearance the last dust of the farm boy and store clerk had been brushed. Already he had taken on the neat, com petent hardness of the city, and it made him better-look ing, more confident, and fud ther visioned. He met her without embarrassment, and he held her hand for only a moment, but his eyes, she noticed, never left her. “Here we are, Bobbie, both out of Elmford and on the way.” He was happy in his work. Leaning forward near the fire, his hands clasped between his knees, gazing at her steadily, he told how he was learning the commission business, how he had been on several trips for the firm, one taking him as far as Chicago, and how his first small experimental' salary had been increased to a living wage. ‘ Rankin, the man who got me in there, and I are mean ing to have our own firm the first chance. I’d rather work for myself than for anybody else, but that’ll need more money htan’s in sight to-day.” She felt the old vague jealousy of his ability to at tain his desires; but she re membered that the greatest desire of all he couldn’t reach. She wished she might hav£ alte-ed during the period of their seperation, but she hadnt’ H'.s handclasp left no tingling; his good looks and his earnestness failed to lure her closer. (TO BE CONTINUED) He caught the hitch-hiker and took him into custody. Later, investigation proved the "boy” to be a midget, Major Small, frem a circus and Hollywood pic tures who was attempting to hitch hike br.ck to his home in Ohio. “It’s easy to pick up rides,” Small said, "but the cops chase me all the time because they think I am a runaway kid.” — ■ --—♦♦ NOT DEPENDABLE Sweet William* are bi-annual* and cannet be depended on for two year* in a row.
