R SEVEF TO CONCE — Es ke RAL TIM AL THE MARK HAD BE 10US SIDE OF Mark Burton returns from abroad becouse _of a letter rcceived from Maude Maynard, the aunt of his ward, Jessica Bartlett. Jessica is about to inherit the principal of her father's| estate, and a worthiess bounder named Raymond Townley is preying on her affections. Although he is interested in_another woman, Mark drops his affairs to attend to Jessica’s. At first he tries to reason with her. and they quarrel. Jessica is determined to marry Ray. But later Aunt Maude auggests that he carry Jessica off and keep her somewhere until she has come to her senses. Mark ridicules the | idea, but finally he doecs take her to his shack in the Shawangunk Moun- tains. Of course, she is furious, and they are sworn enemics. When he suggests that ‘he invite Ircne Martin, the woman in whom he is interested. t0 come up for a vigit, Jessica ridicules hém. Her light scorn stings Mark, and when they go fishing he saves her from a bad fall and yiclds to the impulse to kiss her. She ridicules him_again, and furious with himself Mark dispatches a telegram to Irene. CHAPTER XXXX. Irene Arrives. Irene Martin was the type of woman who seriously considered any- thing that she planed to do. She had been leisurely about contemplat- ing marriage. She was making good money, so that the financial end of it did not bother her, and until she had met Mark there had been no man who had interested her sufficiently for her to be serious. Mark, however, was different. He had the air of the experienced traveler; he was very good looking. He had enough money to make life ing, and he was a delightful companion. She considered all of these things before she decided to ac- cept his informal invitation to visit his camp. His impulsive telegram had been followed by a letter in which he had told her something about Jessica. “My ward is with me. 1 have brought her up here to get a perspec- tive on life. She thinks she wants to plunge immediately into marriage, but she is very young. I'd like you two to be friends.” Irene read the letter several times, but Mark had been clever enough to conceal the serious side of his prob- lem. She suspected nothing. If any- thing, the letter conveyed the idea that she was bored and wanted her companionship. . So that when she packed a suitcase and a hatbox and departed for the mountains she had made up her mind to accept Mark’s proposal of marriage. She had no doubt at all that he intended to pro- pose. She had known it during the time they had been in Paris together.

With him was a slim young thing with a black velvet tam o’shanter set rakishly upon her head. She wore khaki trousers and a flaming red flannel bla She was vouth incarnate, and for some reason Irene was uncomfortable. She knew so few voung people. Of course, in her magazine fiction she came in con- tact with them, but that wasa't im- portant. Would this ward of Mark's ¢ be friends? But if Irene was uncomfortable, Jessica was quite at case. Sk s Mark turned the car into the antain road toward the camp. You were a darling to come. There isn't anything much to do, but we have a good cook and the scenery is gorgeous. Mark is bored to death with my company. He's been looking forward to your it. Jessica sat with Irene in the back of the Over his shoulder Mark could hear her voice, gay, high pitched and irresistible. When Irenc had descended from the train her looks had given him instant approval. He had liked her simple traveling suit and soft felg hat, and Jessica beside him had seemed sud- denly flamboyant and flapperish. Yet now Jessica seemed to be taking the initiative, while Irene was answering in monosyliables. He wondered if Jes- sica gave her the feeling that she al- ways inspired in him. He wondered if she felt as much at a loss as he usually did in Je company, and the thought gave him a sudden flerce satisfaction. ~ He felt as though he and Irene weré pitted together against Jessica. It gave him confidence. When they reached the house Jes- sica went with Irene into her room. It seemed to Mark, waiting outside, that the two women remained there an unnecessarily long time. He could hear a low rumble of conversation, but was able to distinguish nothing. It made him nervous, and when they finally emerged, arm in arm, the feel- ing of confidence that had been his suddenly evaporated. Irene was laughing at one of Jes- sica’s sallies, and Jessica was radiant. She iooked as she hadn't looked since he had carried her away. She had evidently been more bored than he had realized. Dinner was very gay, but after- ward Jessica made an excuse to re- tire to her room, leaving Mark and Irene together. Mark was suddenly embarrassed. It was as though Jes- sica had failed as a hostess, and yet such an idea was manifestly absurd. (Cepyright. 1927.) (Continued in tomorrow's Star.) Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDO!

But its origin goes back farther than that. It comes from the Middle Ages, when reading and writing were by no means the common accomplish ments they are today and when it was a common occurrence, when a case g tried in court, to have a witness who could not write his name “make his mark." And so with its meaning altered, the expression has come down to our day. (Copyright, 1927.) = g i Cabbage and Ham Salad.
