She's scared stlfT. I'nullnc went over to Huzelmoad last week to visit Emma Btacy against his wishes. She met the young man ut n dance. Susan got n letter from Pauline last night making n clean breast of Uio mutter. They are married and stopping ut a hotel In New York." "My lord 1 I should think she would bo scared stirf," wild Mrs. Blng. "I think there Is n good reason for the stiffness of Susan," snld Mrs. Sin gleton, the wife of the Congregntlonnl minister. "We nil know that Mr. Ba ker objected to these modern dances and the way that I'nullnc dressed. Ho used to say that It was walking on the edge of a precipice." There was n breath of silence In which one could hear only a fnlnt rus tle like tho stir of some Invisible spirit. Mrs. Blng sighed. "He may bo all right," she snld In a low, calm voice. "But the Indications nro not fuvor able," Mrs. Singleton remarked. The gossip ceased abruptly, for tho girls were coming from the palm room. The next morning Mrs. Blng went to see Susan Baker to offer sympathy nnd n helping hand. Mnmle Blng was, ufter till, u good-hearted woman. By this time, Mr. Baker had been told. He had kicked n hole In the long look ing-glass In Pauline's bedroom and (lung 11 pot of rouge through the win dow nnd scattered talcum powder all over the place and torn n new silk gown Into rugs nnd burned It In the kitchen stove and left the house slam ming the door behind him. Susan hnd gone to bed und he bud probably gone to the club or somewhere. Perhaps he would commit sulcldt. Of all this, It Is cmuigh to say that for somu hours there was abundant occupation for the tender sympathies of Mrs. .1. Patterson Blng. Before she left, Mr. Baker had returned for luncheon nnd seemed to be quite calm und self-possessed when he greeted her hi tho hull below stairs. On entering her home, about one o'clock, Mrs. Blng received u letter from the hum! of Martha. "Phyllis told me to give you this ns soon us you returned," said the girl. "What does this mean?" Mra. Blng whispered to herself, us she tore open the envelope. Her face grew pale nnd her hands trembled us she read the letter. "Dearest Mammn." It began, "I am going to Iluzelmend for luncheon with Gordon King. 1 couldn't usk you be cause 1 didn't know whero you were. We have waited an hour. I am sure you wouldn't want me to miss having a lovely time. I shall bo home before live. Don't tell father 1 Ho hates tjordon so. "Phyllis." "The boy who Insulted her I My find 1" Mrs. Blng exclaimed In a whis per. She hurried to tho door of tho butler's pantry. Indignation was In the sound of her footsteps. "Martha I" she called. Maitha came. "Tell .lames to bring the big car at once. I'm going to llnzclmeud." "Without luncheon?" the girl usked. "Just give me u sandwich and I'll eat it In my hand." "I want you to hurry," she said to James us she entered the glowing limousine with the sandwich half con sumed, They drove at top speed over the smooth, state road to tho mill city. At half past two, Mrs. Blng alighted at tho fashionable Gray Gnoso Inn whero the best people bad their luncheon parties. She found Phyllis und Gor don In a cozy alcove, sipping cognac and smoking cigarettes, with an Ico tub nnd n chumpngno bottle beside them. To tell tho whole truth, It wns a timely arrlvnl. Phyllis, with no no tion of the peril of It, was Indeed hav ing "a lovely tlmo" tho tlmo of her young life, In fact. For half nn hour, she had been hanging on the edge of the giddy precipice of clopemeut. She wns within one sip of a decision to let go. Mrs. Blng wns admirably cool. In her manner there wns Utile to Indi cate that she had seen the unusual and highly festive accessories. She sat down beside them nnd said: "My denr, I was very lonely und thought I would come nnd look you up. Is your luncheon finished?" "Yes," said Phyllis. "Then lot us go nnd get Into the cnr. We'll drop Mr. King at his homo." When nt last they were seated In the limousine, the nngry lady lifted tho brakes In n way of speaking. "I inn astonished that you would go to luncheon w'lth this young man who hns Insulted you," she said. Phyllis began to cry. Turning to young Gordon King, the Indignant lady ndded: "I think you are a disreputable boy. You must never come to my house ngaln never 1" Ho made no nnswer nnd left tho cnr without a word at the door of tho King residence. There wero miles nnd miles of weeping on the wny homo. Phyllis hnd recovered her composure but be gan again when her mother remarked, "I wonder whero you learned to drink champagne nnd cognac nnd smoko cigarettes," ns If her own homo had not been n perfect academy of dissi pation. Tho girl sat In n corner, her eyes covered with her hnndkerchlef nnd tho only words she uttered on tho way homo wero these: "Don't tell father I" v Whllo this was happening, Mr. Ba ker confided his troubles to Judge Crooker In tho lattcr's ofllce. The Judge heard him through and then delivered another notable opinion, to wit: "There nre many subjects on which the Judgment of the average mnn Is of little value, but In the mat ter of bringing up a daughter It Is npt to bo sound. Also there nro many subjects on which tho Judgment of tho average woman may be trusted, but "I Am Cold, Too," Said the Shepherd. In the matter of bridging up u daugh ter It Is apt to be unsound. I say this, after some forty years of observa tion." "What Is the reason?" Mr. Baker asked. "Well, n daughter has to bo pre pared to deal with men," the Judge went on. "The masculine tempera ment Is Involved In nil tho critical problems of her life. Naturally the average man Is pretty well Informed on the subject of men. You have prospered these late yours. You have been so busy getting rich that you have Just used your homo to eat und sleep In. You can't do a home any good by eating nnd snoring and read ing a paper In It." "My wife would have her own wny there," said Baker. "That doesn't niter the fact that you have neglected your home. You have let things slide. You wore yourself out In this tnntter of money-getting. You were tired when you got home at night all In, ns they sav. Tho bank wns tho main thing with you. I repent that you let things slide nt home nnd tho longer they slide the faster they slide when they're going down hill. You can nlwnys count on that In a case of sliding. "Tho young have a tnsterfor velocity nnd often It comes so unaccountably fast that thoy don't know whnt to do with it, so they're npt to get their necks broken unless there's some ono to put on tho brakes." Mr. Etnmnnuel Baker nroso nnd be gan to strldo up and down tho room, "Dpon my word, Judge I I don't know whnt to do," ho exclaimed. "There's only ono thing fo do. Go nnd find the young people nnd glvo them your blessing. If you can dis cover a spark of manhood In tho fel xm 'iiw-wiumwnnrm low, make tbu most of It. Tho chnnrcs nre against thut, but let us hope for the best. Above all, I wont you to be gentle with Pauline. You ure more to blame than she Is." "I don't see bow I enn spnro tho time, but I'll have to," said Baker. "Time! Fiddlesticks t" tho Judge ex claimed. "What a darn fool money makes of a mnn I You have lost your sense of proportion, your appreciation of values. Bltl Prltchurd used to tulk that wny to me. He has been lying twenty years In his grave. He hadn't a minute to spare until one day ho fell dead then leisure and lots of leisure, It would seem and the business has doubled since he quit worrying about It. My friend, you enn not take a cent Into Paradise, but tho soul of Paulino Is n different kind of property. It might bo n help to you there. Glvo plenty of tlmo to this Job, nnd good luck to you." Tho spirit of tho old, dend days spoke in the voice of the Judge spoke with n kindly dignity. It hnd ever been the voice of Justice, tempcretj with Mercy tho most fenred nnd re spected voice In the upper counties. Ills grave, smooth-shaven face, his kindly gray eyes, his noblo brow with Its crown of white hair were fitting accessories of the throne of Justice and Mercy. "I'll go this afternoon. Thank you, Judge 1" snld Baker, ns ho left tho ofllce. Paulino had nnnounccd In hor letter thut her husband's name was Herbert Mlddleton. Mr. Baker sent a telegram to Pauline to npprlso her of his arrival In tho morning. It wns a fatherly mossngo of love nnd good-will. At tho hotel In Now York, Mr. Buker learne'd that Mr. nnd Mrs. Mlddleton hnd checked out tho day before. No body could tell him whero they bad gone. One of tho men nt tho porter's desk told of putting them In a taxlcab with their grips and a steamer trunk soon after lunch eon. Ho didn't know where they went. Mr. Baker's telegram was thcro un opened. He called at every hotel desk in the city, but ho could got no traco of llicni. Ho telephoned to Mrs. Bnker. She had henrd nothing from Pauline. In despair, ho went to the police de partment and told his story to tho chief. "It looks nn If there wns something crooked about It," snld the chief. "There arc many cases llko this. Just rend thnt." The ofllcer picked up a newspaper clipping, which Iny on his desk, nnd pussed It to Mr. Bnker. It wns from tho Now York Evening Post. The banker rend uloud this startling In formation : "'The New York police report thnt approximately JJ.GOO girls have run nwny or disappeared from, their homes In the past eleven months, and the bureau of missing persons estimates that the number who have disappeared throughout the country approximates 08,000.' " "It's rather astonishing," the chief went on. "The women seem to huvo gone crazy these days. Maybe It's the new dancing and tho movies that nro breaking down the morals of tho little suburban towns or maybe It's fhe excitement of the wnr. Anyhow, they keep the city supplied with run nways and vamps. You arc not the first nnxlous father I have seen to day. You can go Home. I'll put a man on the caso nnd let you know whnt happens." CHAPTER THREE Which Tells of the Complaining Coin and the Man Who Lost His Self. There was a certain gold coin In a little bureau drawer In BIngvllle which began to form n habit of complaining to Its master. "How cold I ami" It seemed to say to the boy. "I wns cold when you put me In here nnd I hnvo been cold over since. Br-r-rl I'm freezing." Bob Morun took out the little draw er and gave It n shaking us ho looked down ut the gold piece. "Don't get rattled," said tho re doubtable Mr. Bloggs, who hnd a great contempt for cownrds. It was Just after the Shepherd of the Birds had henrd of a poor widow who was tho mother of two small children und who had fallen sick ot tho Influenza with no fuel In her house. "I nm cold, tool" snld tho Shepherd. "Why, of courso you nre," tho coin answered, "That's tho reason I'm cold. A coin Is novcr nny wnrnier than tho henrt of Its owner. Why don't. you tnko mo out of hero nnd glvo mo. n chnnco to move around?" Things thnt would not sny a word to other boys often spoke to tho Shep herd. "Let him go," snld Mr. Bloggs. A cold winter and H. C. L.

Lord Rossmorc, who tins just died In England, wus a great sportsmun and hunter and hnd uuiny good stories not only of the bunting Held but of life In mnny other phases. One of these concerned his friend, Hay Mld dleton, whom he describes ns one of tho best riders to hounds that over lived, und runs as follows: "Day once bet a Indy that he could hide so effectually In her bedroom that she could never discover him.
