SYNOPSIS.
Archibald Tcrhune , a popular and In-
flolent young bachelor of London , re
ceives news that he has been made heir
to the estate of his Aunt Georglana , with
an Income of $20,000 a year , on condition
that he becomes engaged to be married
within ten days. Falling to do so the
legacy will go to a third cousin In Amer
ica. The story opens at Castle Wyckoff ,
where Lord Vincent and his wife , friends
of Terhune , are discussing plans to find
him a wife within the prescribed time. It
Beems that Lady Vincent is one of seven
persons named Agatha , all close girlhood
chums. She decides to invite two of them
to the castle and have Archie there as
one of the guests. Agatha Sixth strikes
Archie as a handpainted beauty. Agatha
First is a breezy American girl. Lady
Vincent tells her husband that Agatha
Sixth already cares for Archie. He gains
from Agatha Sixth the admission that
Bhe cares for him. but will require a
month's time fully to make up her mind.
Agatha First , neglected by Terhune , re
ceives attentions from Leslie Freer. Four
days of the precious time have passed
when Terhune is called to London on
business. Agatha First , on the plea of
sickness , excuses herself from a motor
trip planned by the Vincents. Later they
see . ' critha First picking flowers with a
strange man. The Vincents discuss
Agatha's seeming duplicity. The follow
ing day the party visits the ruins of an
) ld convent. Terhune continues his at-
entions to Agatha Sixth.
CHAPTER VI. ! Continued.
Freer had returned from his visit
to the ruins and was endeavoring to
interest the rest of 'as , Arch and
Agatha Sixth and Dearest and my
self in a dissertation upon rose-win
dews , when Agatha First interrupted
us by. running up and exclaiming :
"Do r.omo and see the waterfall.
Pedersen says there's a beauty over
there in those woods ! " She had been
iown to the road with something or
other from the spread , where the au
tomobile and the chauffeur awaited
our return.
"A waterfall ! " said Archibald.
"Dear me ! Plow jolly ! Let's go and
Eee It ! "
"Come on7 then ! " "cried " "Agatha
First , pausing and looking at him
expectantly. He rose obediently , but
before he could more than utter the
words "Delighted , I'm sure ! " Agatha
Sixth had risen also , and was now-
confronting him , as she coldly and
haughtily reminded him that he had
promised to go and look for wild
flowers with her. It was putting the
old boy in an awkward position , I ad
mit , but that's no excuse for his sub
sequent behavior. A tactful speech
would have saved the day , but that
Bomething perverse about him , which
he has in common with most men ,
'Made him want most at that moment
the girl who wanted him least. And
that girl was certainly Agatha First , n
for without waiting to see whether'
c'ame or not , she had run off by her
self , all eagerness to see the water-
toll , x
Without considering the rashness
of such a speech , Archibald replied to
tlA
Agatha Sixth's rebuke by remarking
casually : "So I did promise to go tlC'
and look for wild flowers , but I didn't C'
know about the waterfall then ; C'I C'r t
wouldn't you rather coma and see r
that ; first ? " We shuddered to hear \v
him , Dearest and I. It was pretty bad ,
j-ou know. Yet , as I say I thought itSi
understood just how he came to say SiCi
the ] fatal words just what spirit' Cie
prompted him. But Dearest thinks e
aot. She says that he's far too calculating ti ;
tiw
culating far too much on the look ticl ,
out for his own interests to run the cl
clei
risk : of losing Agatha Sixth deliberate ei
eisi
ly. : She thinks he was only embar si
rassed. ; But we both thought that sin
the most peculiar thing about the h
whole affair was the fact that Agatha cih :
First , having left the group immedi h
ately her unfortunate invitation was ;
given , must have been quite ignorant 01 )
of the trouble It had caused. She 01F
seemed , indeed , the whole time to be F
absolutely oblivious to the situation fc
In regard to Agatha Sixth and Ter fcai
hune. And this was the more ex ai
traordinary because any one else , any aioi
Impartial observer with his eyes S (
open , must , it seemed , have been w
aware of an affair of some kind or fa
faC
other between ths two. But Miss C : (
Endicott , it appeared , walked with h
her eyes shut , like a person in a cc :
flrearn , her thoughts upon some other se ;
world or scheme of things removed
from ours. ei
eid
As matters stood , however , the re- d (
Bult of the waterfall proposition and us
usw
rerhune's mismanagement of the w
crisis it brought about , was a flat re d <
fusal on the part of Agatha Sixth to cc :
accompany him anywhere , and hio cch
frightened and tardy pursuit of h <
kgatha First , who wa& beckoning of
ofw
aim to follow from the edge of the w
roods. By , Jove , It made me feel it
Inclined to go after him and tell him ti
S3K ;
what I thought of him then and there ,
Miss Lawrence looked so forlorn and
wretched as she watched them disap
pear Into the woods together. .
"The beast ! " I began , "he ought
to be " But Dearest interrupted me ,
and I realized it was because the
young lady was still standing within
earshot. "Don't , Wilfred ! " she'said.
"Agatha doesn't mind a bit do you ,
dear ? " And she smiled confidently
and encouragingly into the other
woman's face. It was the required
tonic evidently , for Miss Agatha "Law
rence sometimes called Agatha
Sixth at once controlled her quiver
ing lip with a display of self-com
mand upon which I inwardly compli
mented her. It's a trait of the Amer
ican girl , I think , that fine self-con
trol , and something that I admire
greatly in my wife.
"Of course not , " she replied stead-
ly , and turning upon the bewildered
Freer , who was standing by , with the
sweetest possible smile , asked him
if he would mind hunting wild flow
ers with her. The invitation , I
need not say , was accepted with
servile gratitude by that undls-
criminating and impressionable young
man. Like the little dog under the
table , Freer was never too proud to
partake of the crumbs.
My wife and I left alone , she broke
at once into lamentation. Her plans
were all going astray , she declared.
Match-making was perfectly horrid
and she would never , no , never , un
dertake it again. As for Archibald ,
she gave him up. She couldn't under
stand it , at all. Why couldn't he
make up his mind which girl he
wanted and stick to it ? A man who
only had ten days in which to choose
a wife had no business to go on as
he did. Why , she'd never get him
married , and he'd lose his fortune !
But that wasn't the most important
point to be considered by any means.
What bothered her most was that
poor Agatha Lawrence" had fallen in
'Here You've Gone and Asked Us to
Help You. "
love with the marplot , and so far as
she could see and this in spite of her
best efforts the poor girl was des
tined to lose him after all ! O , it
was really too bad. Terhune was
too , too trying ! I must really speak
to him and find out what he meant
by playing fast and loose like that ! I
give you my word I've seldom heard
her go on so about anything. She
really felt distressed by the unaccount
able and rather mysterious color our
matrimonial project had assumed , and
was much concerned for Agatha
Sixth's happiness. The other Agatha
we did not seem to be as interested
in somehow , as she had neither a hus
band or a fortune at stake with which
to enlist our special sympathies.
"After all , Wilfred , " she said , heaving -
ing a deep sigh , "the course of true
love never did run smooth ! "
"Nor yet the course of true match
making ! " I answered and we strolled
down the side of the little hill where
the picnic had been to go and look
tor wild flowers ourselves.
CHAPTER VIII.
It was on the return trip to the cas-
Lle that I found an opportunity to talk
confidentially ' with Terhune. He and
were walking home , as seven was
ather ; a crowd in the machine and we *
ivanted the exercise.
"What in thunder do you mean by n
t ? " I demanded when I had finished s
setting his erratic and inconsiderate _
conduct before him in its true light
excepting : , of course , the details of
he incident of the. automobile in the u
vood , and our later discovery of the f
checked coat in his closet. All refer-
mce to this little episode and the
suspicions of Dearest and myself in
egard to his connection with it , I tj
lad ; felt obliged to omit. We had de-
ided not to mention the subject to
lim : as we had after all only circum-
tantial evidence upon which to base
ur belief that Terhune had been
Agatha First's companion that day.
ror , after all , the checked coat we is l
bund in his closet might only have
esembled the one I saw in the car , riSi
ind he might easily have owned one Si
f the kind without our ever having
ieen it. Our friendship with Arch
vas too dearly prised by us to risk
alsely accusing him. And then I sih
ouldn't help feeling that after all I h
lad ; rather surprised them when I had
ome upon them in the woods , and in
eeing what I was not meant to have
in
een , had rather played the spy , how-
sver inadvertently it might have been
lone. And I did not relish making
ise of information so obtained. It
vas better , much fairer to Arch , we
lecided , to act simply as if my disa ;
every had never been.
"Here you've gone and asked us to "
ielp you , " I went on , "in the matter
getting a fortune , not to mention a tc
rife , and when It's made as plain as a :
could well be that Agatha Sixth is s ]
he girl for you and you admit fancytl [
ing her yourself , why , then , what do
you do ? " I stopped and faced him.
We were crossing Hartsmere commoi ?
and the castle was already" In sight
and his eyes fell before my just in
dignation. He didn't seem anxious to
tell me , so I set to and told him my
self. "Why , you go and spoil it all
by flirting with Agatha First , nov
don't you ! "
"Spoil it all ? " he asked without
looking up. "Yes , " I affirmed Impa
tiently , "tnat's just what you're doing.
I should think you could see you're
jeopardizing your chances with Agatha
Sixth every time you so much as
glance at Agatha First , and really ,
when you consider that you've asked
the girl to marry you and are sup
posed to be awaiting her answer with
all a lover's Impatience , it doesn't look
well. It doesn't really ! What do you
want to do it for , anyway ? " I paused
in my tirade , but he made no motion
to answer. "Why , it's plain loony of
you ! " I exploded in my irritation.
"For a man in your position , it's positively -
tively suicidal to fool the way you're
doing. I shouldn't wonder at all if
Miss Lawrence refused you eventual
ly , and then the game would be up
indeed ! "
"What game ? " said Arch , if , you
please , just as if he didn't know what
I was talking about.
"Why , your aunt's property in Australia -
stralia , " I bellowed In his ear. "You
can't inherit it if Agatha Sixth won't
marry you , can you ? "
"Can't I ? " he said simply , as if it
didn't matter at all , and I nearly lost
my patience.
"How could you ? " I returned. "The
time's up in two days ; is it likely you
could get anyone else to marry you in
that length of time ? "
He looked up. "I shouldn't care to
marry anyone else , " he said. "I hap
pen to care about her , " and his ex
pression was so earnest and sincere
I had to believe him.
"Well , then , for heaven's sake , make
a little more effort to convince her
that you care ! " I advised , but more
gently , and we walked on in silence.
I broke it first , as he didn't seem in
clined to talk. "Honest , old man. " I
said , "I wish you'd tell a fellow what
you're up to ! I hate to see you ma
king a mess of this thing , for no good
reason. If you didn't like Miss Law- jo
rence it would be different. But you're
self-confessed as to that , and it's especially - (
pecially hard to bear when Dearest
(
and I have been doing our very best jfi
to help you. Tell me what it's all
about , can't you ? Why will you persist -
sist in rumsang after Agatha Endicott
just at this critical stage of the 'a '
game ? "
"My dear fellow , " he replied , "I'd
tell you everything in a minute if
there were anything to tell. But there
isn't , not a blooming blessed thing ; I
deny your last statement , however.
I can do that much for you. I am not
running after Miss Endicott , not the
least bit in the world. I give you my
word I'm not ! "
B
For a moment I felt a curious , sense o
of positions reversed , as if some time II
not long I had been
ago the one to s
speak so to Terhune , and he to lee- j tc
ture me. He is older than I and has ft
always been the one to look after me , ci
not I after him. And this feeling alJE
most impelled me to drop my in &
quisitorial tone. But I thought of the B
automobile in the woods and the scene CI
I had stumbled upon and grew firm. tl
Really it was too much. I couldn't in
let him string me like that !
"I don't know what you call it , " I
retorted indignantly , "but whether you
think so or not , you're with Agatha
First all the time lately. Why can't hi
you let her alone and 'tend strictly to tv
business ? " th

of canned pimentos. Only water
enough to cover the chicken must be

THE HIGH COST
OF LIVING REDUCED
Much has been said about the
cost of livinsr , its causes , and the possi
bilities of Us reduction. But little -has
been said about the most costly leak :
the false economy existing today in near
ly every household.
Much foodstuffs are bought with but
one point In view : "How cheap can 1
get it" without a thought of quality or
"after cost. " One of the most serious Is
baking powder.
By the use of perfect baking powder
the housewife can derive as much econ
omy as from uny other article used In
baking and cooking. In selecting the
baking powder , therefore , care should
be exercised to purchase one that re
tains its original strength and always
remains the same , thus making the food
sweet and wholesome and producing
sufficient leavening gas to make' the-
baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas Is
produced by the cheap baking powders ,
making it necessary touse double the-
quantity ordinarily' required to secure
good results.
You cannot experiment every time
you make a cake or biscuits , or test the
strength of your baking powder to find
out how much of it you should use :
yet with most baking powders you
should do this for they are put together
so carelessly they are never uniform.
the quality and strength varying with
each can purchased.
Calumet Baking Powder is made of
chemically pure ingredients of tested
strength. Experienced chemists put It
up. The proportions of the different
materials remain always the same.
Sealed In air-tight cans. Calumet Baking
Powder does not alter in strength and
s not affected by atmospheric changes.
In using Calumet you are bound to
have uniform bread , cake or biscuits , as
Calumet does not contain any cheap.
useless or adulterating Ingredients so
commonly used to increase the weight.
Further , It produces pure , wholesome
food , and Is a baking powder of rare
merit : therefore , is recommended by
eading physicians and chemists. It
complies with all pure food laws , both
STATE and NATIOXAI. . The goods are
moderate in price , and any lady purchas-
"nsr Calumet from her grocer , if not sat-
sfled with It. can return It and have her
tnoney refunded.
She Covered Her Head.
Scene , a country church of Episco-
copalian denomination in process of
