SIXTH EPISODE.
The Sirge of the House of O'Keefe.
CHAPTER 1. (Continued.) .
Tired and famished Wye ate hla delayed
dinner in company with the vl various
brunette. Tommy Thomaa and tho white
mustached, pink fared Orln Cunningham,
and with a heavy, silent, thlck-eyelldded
man who wore abort cropped hair on his
bis round head.
Tommy and Cunningham and Blye sat
for some time together after the bis;
man had left They were evidently plan
ning something.
Finally all three went out and stepped
into Blye's luxurious limousine. Before
they had gone very far Bly, sitting by
the girl, leaned toward her and began
talking to her in low tones. By and by
the trace of a smile cam to her Hps.
Jn a tastefully furnished drawing room
a kindly looking woman held the bub
bling Tommy'a hand between both her
own while they talked. There was both
sadness and loneliness in Mrs. Villard as
she drew Tommy to a seat on the couch
beside her. but she had sptrtt, too, for
she displayed a most eager Interest in
the beautiful portrait of June Warner,
which presently peered up at her from
inside the lid of Juu.s little gold watch..
When Tommy rejoined the men In the
hrllllantty lighted limousine she handed
Blye June's watch with a triumphant
laugh
CHAPTER JI.
June, busy with her own thoughts, did
not notice the closed cab which stood at
the corners the next morning as she left
the house. As ahe passed by, however,
walking briskly up to the surface car,
Officer Mack, who had been watching
that cab ard the handsome brunette
whose vivacious face had occasionally
appeared at the windows, saw the cab
start and slowly move away.
June had stepped from her uptown car
and was crossing to Broadway when a
closed cab passed her, turned and drew
up from the opposite direction, and a
gloved hand tapped at the window.
Tommy Thomas, the girl to whom Gil
bert Blye had introduced her.
."Which way, pretty maid?" Tommy'
glowing face protruded from' the door of
the cab.
"To the employment office, kind lady,"
she laughed, and June exhibited her lit
tle address slip.
"Ml take you over," offered Tommy.
The two girls laughed together as they
drove away, but at the next corner
Tommy excused herself for a moment
and ran into a drug store to telephone.
Tommy hurried out and returned to her
place In the cab with June, but Mrs.
Villard, to whom she had phoned, re
mained at the telephone and called up
another number.
When June walked Into the Acme Km
ployment bureau, having chosen a new
one, quite naturally, since the old one
had sent her to a gambling house, she
found a new address ready for her. A
lady wanted a companion.
Her eyes widened with pleasure a she
saw the beauty of Mrs. VUlard's home.
It was scarcely visible from the street,
set back of and below a tangled pro
fusion of shrubbery and trees. Before it
rolled the broad, smooth Hudson. Her
timidity waa aet entirely t rent when in
the cosy parlor Just back of the stiff
drawing room she met the kindly faced
Mrs. Villard.
Companion? She was not to be a com
panion to this charming and sweet and
yet sometimes sad Udy. She was to be
a friend,- a slater, a daughter. They
knew that much In the first three min
utes of their conversation, and then Mrs.
Villard took June up to a wonderful
bedroom which had once been a child's,
upon the walla of which were peacocks
and roosters and gnomes and elves. It
was visiting day among the Villard cot
tages and the cottages beyond which
were not Villard cottages, and June had
the Joy onco more of giving, mingled
with the sorrow that there was need.
It was late when they arrived at the
cottage of the Oroggs, and as they en
tered the front door Mr. Qrogg came up
from the lower road and entered the
back door. Tully ten feet behind his
breath. Ha was a red faced man with
no blend in his countenance whatsoever.
Nose, ears and all. he was the same tint
of red from where his neck rose out of
its sprawling collar to where his low
forehead disappeared In his sprawling
yellow' hair.
"Dafternoon, ladles," observed Mr.
Grogg, cheerfully and bowed his smile
in the direction of tho severe eyed. Mrs.
Villard and the shocked June. "Brought
you a little present, Lou," and, with as
much extravagant importance as if this
".ad been the rajah'a Jewel, he bestowed
on Mrs. Grogg a geranium in a papier
macho pot.
Mrs. Grogg was a thin woman, chiefly
distinguished for droopiness and hollow
nesa as viewed from almost any direction.

"I lost my wife," said the sixth man,
"through a foolish flirtation with a
woman I did not even care about; a
woman who was Infinitely Inferior to my
wife in looks. Intel
ligence,- charm
everything that goes
to make up a woman.
"We would think a
man craay who, hav
ing In hla possession,
a priceless Jewel,
traded it off for a
garish bit of pinch
beck, but how often
do we see him make
the same sorry bar
g a I n emotionally
throw away the love
of a wife who Is.
pure, gold for a fancy
for aome women who
ia nothing but dross!
"I was one of these
poor fools. By nature
I am somewhat of a
Sentimental Tommy. Women attract me
and I have always found the game of
hearts, to be the most exciting game In
the. world. The rapture of the discoverer,
the excitement of the big game hunter,
th finesse of tho gambler, they are all
there in the pursuit of that mystery that
wo call woman. That's what makes love
the great adventure, and every pretty
woman a challenge thrown in the face of
a man with my temperament.
"From my boyhood I was what Is
called 'a lady's man.' I knew the Whole
litany 'of love-making by heart, and all
the little gallantries that please women
in a. country whose men are, curiously
enough, the most devoted to their women
kind and the least loverlike in the world,
where men give women the most money
and the fewest attentions.
"Of course I had many flirtations, and
I remember that a cynical old bachelor
uncle used to say to me, with a chuckle:
'Watch out, Jlmmle! Some day one of
these near-engagements of yours is go
ing to end fatally for you in matrimony.'
And It did.
i "I met a girl who was everything that
I wasn't a grave, solemn, serious
woman, with eyes that were like great
pools of tenderness; a wonderful woman.
all strength and steadiness, to whom love
was holy thing, a name not even to be
taken lightly on your lips. She was
beautiful and fine, and In my heart I
worshipped her as a man worahlpa hla
yuirvn saint.
we were married, and for years we
were perfectly happy, for I was ab-
soroea in wonder and reverence of this
ew- love that had come into my life,
end that waa bo much higher than any
inmg nad ever known. And then by
'si'T grew accustomed to it. as I
uppoae a man would grow accustomed
to having the Kohlnoor if he happened
o possess it.
"Then, aa some party or other that we
nappenea to go to, I met a little fluffy.
ruffle sort of a woman, one of the pretty,
pert, gajr little buccaneers that sail the
social aeaa In quest of adventures. They
are daring little pirates, and they like
nothing alao so well aa to capture soma
staid merchant ship of a married man
and bear him off, right under the guns
or hla wire s eyes.
I was easy prey all the easier be
cause for so long my weapons had been
hanging on the wall, and I had been out
ef the fight. I had forgotten -hat my
tongue as ever nimble at Mont.-
that I had ever quoted poetry effectively;
that I had ever sighed unutterable noth
ings. I had thought of my fascinations
as gone. I had coma to consider myself
aa done with romance.
"God know how some women do It,
but here, in an instant, I saw myself In
this woman's eyes no longer aa a middle
aged, perfectly domesticated husband
and father, but as an alluring Romeo,
and It went to my head. Before I knew
it, without Intending It without meaning
it, I waa embarked on one of those flirta
tions that almost Invariably end In dis
aster, and prove the truth of the old ad
age that there Is 'no fool like an old fool.'
This model ig reminiscent of the cos
tumes worn by the women who lived
through the Franco-Prussian ' war in . the
draped skirt of a plaid material and in the
.tight' fitting, pointed"" bodice," buttoning
primly to the choker collar of fur, fash
ionable even when spring breezes blow,
The three-piece costume is a favorite.
This model in old blue gabardine has an
underskirt of brick-red duvetyn, slit at the
side.. Tho blue embroidery, brightened
by sliver threads, 'appears both on. the.
loose waistcoat-like bodice and on the
coat.

fullness In the skirt is frankly achieved by
the box plaits. The saucy, rippling jacket,
short to the hip line, is belted In black oil

oilcloth. r
"M w do the woman the Justice to
say that she, no more than I, Intended
any real harm. Wo really attracted each
other because we were both experts at
the love game, and in each other found
foemen worthy of our steel. It waa a
match of wits Instead of hearts, of fenc
ing Instead of feeling.
"But we played the game according to
Hoyle. There were flowers, and candy,
and rides, and little strolls through the
park at night, and notes sadly sweet,
breathing of a hopeless passion. And all,
I swear It, meaning nothing from either
her or me.
"Ill my heart I was never untrue to my
wife. I knew this other woman for the
foolish, vain, frivolous little creature that
she was, and In the very moment that I
was entreating her to go out to .dinner
with me, or automobile with me, I was
thinking In the back of my heart, and
thanking God for it, that my wife waa
not of that sort, and that no man on
earth could tempt her to treat me aa I
was Inducing this other woman to treat
her husband. Also, Incredible aa it sounds,
by the very froth of this flirtation I
measured the depth of my love foi my
wife. .
"I never intended, of course, that my
wife should know of thta silly affair, but
one day she found In my pocket a letter
from the woman full of fond and spurious
endearments, and making an appointment
for a re ndexvoua that waa really Innocent,
but that damned me in her eyes. I tried
to explain to her that I had only been
amusing myself, and that I was not in
love with the other woman, or she with
me, but her loyalty was not of the kind
that could comprehend that kind of faith
fulness. Women love altogether, or not
at all. They are true aa steel or false aa
perdition, and that Is why they never can
comprehend how a . man may love and
henor his wife-In hla Inmost soul, and
still let his fancy occasionally wander.
"And so my wife did, aa doubtless I
should have done under the same cir
cumstances. " Phe left me, and I lost the
steady sun of love for a light of lover."
