In spite of her demands on self-control, the tears would not stay back. When the furniture store man had cleared all the other rooms and his big white horses had drawn the loads to town, he entered the big room silent- ly and reverently. He knew that Mabel was there, knew that she was sad, and hated to take this last from her. She was half asleep and it was a tear- strained, unhappy face that she lifted to“‘;rd hfi’tlllas h!' neared her. “‘Poor e girl,” he said assuringly. “What happened that spoiled yglfr plans?” There was no reply, only fresh tears rolling over white cheeks. “Tell me, Mabel! Haven't I known you since you were 6 years old? I have an interest in you. I want to know what that scoundrel did to cause you 5o much misery.” “Oh, he—he took another girl, and went away with her for two weeks. I heard about it. How I'd hate her if I saw her. O guess she’s a breed at that. Oh—" she wailed, “and I've trusted him and waited for him ever since I was 17.” “Well, girlie, did he try to explain?” “Yes, but I wouldn't liste I didn't want excuses. Who would? That was it, who would? Living with & breed girl was enough. But as for the breed part of it, there were lots of nice ones out in this unsettled West. :'And is that the end?” ‘Almost, only I'm sorry for what I did. I was mad of course. I got real mean and wished him all the luck in the world, but hoped he'd never know A& moment’s peace. And, oh, Mr. Blake, I've felt terrible ever since. It was a foolish curse and I feel that it will stick with him. It was a cruel thing to say, wasn't it?” “Perhaps he deserved it. Poor girl. And tomorrow is Christmas.” He glanced out of the window. The snow was falling dismally on the already deeply covered ground. “And not a very happy one for you. You were to have been married then, weren't you?” She nodded, unable to trust her voice. “And that chair—I know what a big leather chair before a fireplace means. Listen, Mabel. That chair is your Christmas present from me. Tl take it home for you. I know it will make you sad, but it will give you some com- fort, too. The house is Jim’s, isn‘t it? I thought so. Home bought and fur- nished and then this—" he mused on to himself. It was too bad. “The chair mine! I would like to have it. You're so good to me, Mr. Blake,” she sald quietly. “That's all right. Come, I'd better take you home now. The fire is dying down."” Forty years later a white-haired lady sat in an eld-fashioned scratched leather chair. It was not badly worn, but showed traces of much moving. The lady was well wrapped in shawls as she was in the cold attic. The chair had always been kept in attics, well away from the children’s curious eyes. No one but herself had ever sat in it and it was her wish that no one ever should. It was the one thing of her old love affair that she kept and cherished. She was thinking of the snowy day, 40 years ago, the day Mr. Blake had given her the chair. Poor old man! He had been dead many years now. He had been good to her and she would not forget. He had said the chair would give her comfort. It did. Soon after it had been given to her she had married a man 30 years her senior. Perhaps she did it for the purpose of spiting Jim, or perhaps just to show him she could get some one else. Mabel was not sure why. Anyway the marriage had never been an entire- ly happy one. Often she had fled to the old chair to ease her aching heart. ‘There were children, all of whom were married now. Tomorrow was Christmas. ‘The children and their respective wives and husbands would be there, but the little old lady would still be lonesome. Some one was knocking on the door below. She arose and laboriously de- scended the long stairs, A gust of wind grested her as she first opened the door. Then an old man stood before her. His eyes and smile were Jim's. Jim!” she said, half aloud. “May I come in, Mabel?” he asked, pleadingly. “Surely, you're always welcome. But again she was remembering the breed girl and those two weeks he spent with her, “Its been 40 years, Mabel,” he said unsteadily. “I went on a trip after you sent me away. I intended to try again to explain when I returned. But Mabel, I was almost crazy when I learned that you were married. La- *ter, as you know, I was married, too. My poor little wife was good to me. She knew about you and understood. She’s dead now, the same as is your husband.” Mabel was listening hopelessly _to things that she already knew. She wanted him to hurry to the explana- tion, hoped feverishly that the one he had to offer she could believe. “And_Mabel,” he. was crying, “you hoped I would never have a peaceful moment. I haven't.” Her eyes were misty with pity as he went_on. “The girl? My uncle married a chief’s daughter. She had to be taken to Boise to complete some tribal du- ties. (I was asked to take her. It had to be kept secret until she was there. The trip was long and hard.” He aused. “Do you believe me, Mabel? can tell you no more, for that is all.” There was a slight twinkle in the old lady’s eyes as she looked up. “Jim,” she said, “How can you ever forgive me for being so rash and quick to judge you?” “It's all right, dear. I know how it looked. Tomorrow is Christmas. I've come to keep my promise I made 40 , she said. Slowly they de- scended the stairs. Smiling, she beck- oned him on. Together they sat snug- gled in the big leather chair. “Tomorrow, Mabel, we'll. find a fire- place, and today I've had all the luck in the world” Her hand found its ! way to his as she giggled girlishly. ‘THE END. (Coyright. 1028.) . KANSAS BEAVER SAVED FROM EXTINCTION BY LAW Rodents Multiply Rapidly During Period Killing Is Forbidden. PRATT, Kans. (#).—The beaver has { escaped the threat of extinction. This dark denizen of wooded streams, whose rich fur attracted Senator Cur- tis' French ancestors to new trapping grounds west of the Mississippl, be- came so scarce in Kansas a few years ago that its complete disappcarance was believed to be near Killing of a beaver under any circumstances was forbidden, but even the most hopeful friends of the little brown animal were not certain it could be saved.

Thus it multiplied beyond all expecta- tions, and hs kind have become §0 nu= merous again that protection of game regulations is waived occasionally so property can be protected against de- structive teeth.

INSTALLMENT XVIL VONNE slipped back easily into the routine disiurbed by her brief masquerade. Only by looking at the blond wig, siored | now in one of her bureau draw- ers, could she feel any reality in the| memory of that party at Mrs. Ogden’s. She suffered a reaction of weariness | and distast> for life, nor- could she find | any escape from the dilemma of Rich-| ard’s return, now to be expected within a week or so. She left the care of the house en- tirely to Lottie, spent her mornings, reading in bed, exercising, thinking of | her new costumes, avoiding as far as possible any consideration of what Rithard’s return would mean to her. At times it seemed to her she was only | alive in the brief moments she spent on the stage, carried away from herself by the music and by her dancing. She had caught a brief glimpse of Bob West standing in the wings the night following Mrs. Veering's call. He | had apparently been watching for he appearance, Yvonne managed to slip | by him without his seeing her. She :sd a vague fear he would recognize er. “If he finds out thet I have deceived him and knows that I can take care of myself, he will be more apt to cast me out,” she reasoned. Shrowdly she realized that one of the things that would restrain Richard from any dras- tic action in their lives would be his belief that she was dependent on him. “Richard will never leave me as long as he thinks I cannot take care of my- self.” Yvonne's deep-rooted conviction that this was true made her adamant against any suggestion that she reveal her success. She had not hearl from Richard for three weeks. She began to be afraid he would arrive unannounced and discover what she was doing. She feared dis- covery more now than formerly. Then came the morning when the mail held a letter from Richard. Yvonne was absurdly thrilled. She took the letter to her room. Before openirz it she laid it against her cheek and a great wave of longing for her husband swept over her. f only he is coming home,” she thought. Then she opened the letter. “Dear Yvonne,” it began, “I expect to be home some time next week, prob- ably on Thursday. The rest and change have done me a great deal of good. I am anxious to be at work again. “I wish you would air the laboratory for me, being careful not to leave the windows open if it is raining. I hope soon to be hard at work finishing the last specimens I brought from South America. “I cannot be sure of the exact time of my arrival, but it will probably be in time for dinner Thursday evening. “Affectionately your: 'RICHARD. Yvonne read the letter twice. Not a word about being glad to see her. Not an inquiry about her well belnf. A flood of anger took possession of her. She clenched her hunds and for a wild minute considered leaving the house, letting him arrive to find her gone. This feeling passed and left her ashamed. She read the letter again and burst into a storm of weeping. She cried broken-heartedly for an hour. “I cannot go. I must be here when he comes home. I love him.” She took some comfort from the very fact of his return. No matter how in- different, how absor d he might be in the prospect of his work, he was com- ing home. She could see him, serve him, wait for his casual kiss of greet- ing, live azain with the hourly knowl- edge he was in the same house with her. With this she must be content. She bathed her face, rearranged her hair, and went down to the den to practice. While she was working out some in- tricate steps Mrs. Ogden arrived. She sctood watching Yvonne for a few min- utes. 'You lovely thing!” she cried when the record ran down and_Yvonne .paused. “How do you do it? Id rather wateh you practicing than most dancers perform. Yvonne drew a gay Limono over her scant drapery and joined her friend in the living room. “Richard is coming back—next week,” she said after a Iittle pause. ‘Really? Oh, Yvonne, what are you going to do about it?” “I don't know,” Yvonne answered tonelessly. “Go on the same old way, I suppose.” “But_you mustn’t—you can't—it's a :}r‘i‘me for you even to consider such a ng. “What else is there to do?"” the girl asked. “Come out and tell him the truth. You could no more help doing. what you did than a flower can help bloom- :’rfii , Burely you can make him sce “Richard sees me only one way—the way I was when we were married. If he saw me as I am now, I would be a different pe* to him,” Yvonne re- But he would love the person you are now——"" If I could only be sure o that—-" “Try it—take a chance on it—no man in his senses could resist you—' “Richard resisted a lot of other beau- tiful women. He married me. As long as he thinks I am ignorant and simple and quite dependent on him he will( keep me here and take care of me. If| he finds out that I am a success in my | own right—then he will feel no respon- ( sibility for me, and perhaps leave me | to shift for myself without him.” i “Let him.

I'll have to think about it and decide | when the time comes.” The next day, soon after getting up, Yvonne went.to the laboratory. She had not entered it since the bitter day she found Anne’s photograph there. Now as she went in, noting the dusty, closed smell of the room, so long de-| prived of air, she looked at her hus-| band’s desk, tried to picture him s at it, busy with the work that absor him. She could not conjure up a vision of him, try as she would. She blamed herself for it. “I have thought so much of myself of late that I have forgotten my husband, she thought reproachfully. She opened the windows, dusted the cases and boxes and at last approached the desk. She knew the picture of Anne lay face downward in the drawer where she had dropped it. Hesitantly | she pulled the drawer open, and then, | before she could touch the hated card- board she banged the drawer shut and ran downstairs. t “Clean up Mr. Ross' workroom this | afternoon, Lottie,” she said. “Don't ONE MAN’S r | equally lost.

She drew a long cape over it, hiding its folds and fullness, and then took out her car. She drove to a small photographe er’s shop she had seen in her market- ing trips. There she had a number of photographs made of herself in her peasant costume. She urged haste on ihe photographer and he promised her the proofs for the following day. Yes, Mrs. Ri the man agreed pleasantly. “Say, they told me around here you couldn’t speak English, you're French, ain't you? Yvonne bit her lip in exasperation. Then she reflected there was little hance of Richard's finding out from this source that she had learned the language.

There she stood in on the surroundings of glass cases and work tools. Yvonne carried it down to her husband’s bedroom. There it seemed At last she took it back to his desk in the laboratory. With a final sigh she left it and went downe stairs, locking the door bshind her. As she danced that night she tried to think of what it would mean never to return to the theater. Her imagi- nation failed her. This, this, she must have. Suppose & just disappeared, sfl’nred Richard the pain of a confe slon, vanished from him, leaving only the photograph in its siiver frame on his desk. Would he think of her? Would he miss her? She went home with her problem still troubling her. She could not give up her husband. She could not give up her art. She could not have both, She must make her choice. The sacrifice of either seemed too great to be born. 3 ‘To give up Richard would enrich her art, as suffering always enriches art. To give up her art meant bury- ing a part of her life that had be= come necessary to her. And there were so few days left to decide. “If Richard had showed me in one letter that he missed me, how easy it would be,” she thought. She took the slight, thin bundle of leiters, half a dozen in all, and read them again. He w Iways, “her affectionate husband.” Nothing more. “He doesn’t care,” she told herself. “He never has cared.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (#).—Interarch- ing, a new theory in tree surgery, is taking a prominent part in the care of citrus groves. It is said to double the life of the tree by putting iS on a new foundation and to be a great aid in overcoming root-rot, which formerly ex=- acted heavy toll. The process is declared to be as sim« ple as grafting and budding. The bark of the tree is split similar to the slit used in zrnfung. One end of the seed- ltnfi'l bough is fastened into the groove with & tack after the root end has been buried in the ground. The tree skin then is fastened around the new jeint and the root end watered until it spreads sufficiently to absorb moisture from the earth. In a short time the tree has an en- tirely new set of roots and after a few years the tree trunk will grow entirely around its new support. TRADE SCHOOL IS SOUGHT FOR LATINS BORN IN U. S. New Mexico Institution to Be Asked by Senator Larrazolo. SANTA FE, N. Mex, (#).—Octa- vanio A. Larrazolo, native of Mexico, will work for the Americanization of Spanish-speaking people in New Mexi- co during the three months he is a Senator in the short session of Con- gress. He intends to introduce a bill pro= posing a federal vocational school in New Mexico to train Spanish-American boys for the t in which English speaking youths more readily find em= ployment. Spanish people born in the United States and retaining t! language of their Latin ancestors are a distinct problem, Larrazolo sa.

The life of a dollar bill is much shorter than it was a few years ago, and the difference is to said to be due to its frequent passage through the hands of the indiv Is at the roadside filling station. This was determined by Government _cflici: by circulating 50 $1 bills, with a request attached that each spender indorse on the slip what he spent it for, and that the person holding the bill after the tenth in- dorsement ehould return it to the American Motorists’ Association head- quarters at Washington. The 50 bils were circulated in 10 cities with the re- sults that out of 36 bills returned con- taining 271 indorsements, 53 of the in< dorsements indicated that the bill had been spent by a motorist for gas or oil. ‘The size of the new bills about to be issued will tend to lengthen their life and aJso the fact that the paper used will be ofl proof to a certain extent. Simplified Weddings in China. ‘The wedding of the Chinese couple was formerly a very elaborate affair, consisting of six rites which covered al most as many days, and part of the ceremony was the transportation of the bride to her future home in a flower~ decked sedan. This vehicle was a gor= geous affair, but recently it has been displaced by a compromise in the shape of a glorified automobile. This is not quite so resplendent as the old-time sedan, but it answers all purposes. Many of the features of the six-day wedding retained by the ceremony have recently been abbreviated.
