CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP EAXATIVE-TONIC for CHILDREN The Secret of MARGARET YORKE By Kathleen Norris oo 195 Mo Amri Neepaor Abann ‘THE STORY THUS FAR. Margaret Yorke, an attractive voung woman from New York, is companion to Mrs. Cutting, in California, and govern- Cutting's small adopted son, Cutting knows nothi idle habits. ~Stanley is curious about Margaret. At a bridge game he is much attracted to Margaret, but_she is coldly indifferent to him. Mrs. Cul ] and Margaret, driving with Stanley, tel him what she has heard Shiniey's 3 tten o W Yhere the meets Margaret and questions INSTALLMENT VIL WEEK after the Strawberry Fete Mrs. Theobald came to the OCountry Club. Again she was exquisitely dressed, and again irreproachably chaperoned. This time she was with the Wain- wrights, the most conservative members of the old guard. She remained only a few minutes; stopped to speak to one or two plain unresponsive old friends, nodded to a dozen more, and sauntered down the steps from the porch with young Bill Spears. She promptly dismissed Bill when she saw the little Cutting boy walking along with Miss Yorke. “We're walking: home to lunch,” said Margaret. “Jim and I ride too much, ;:d Jim wants to be an athlete some y——" “To swim like Stan!” said Jim man- Tully. “I wonder how Stan felt about Mrs. Cutting adopting this child?” Shirley asked, with a glance downward at Jim. “He seems very fond of him,” Mar- garet answered. “I dare say! He'll only do him out of about half a million!” Shirley said laughing. “Where did Mrs. Cutting get him?” “Through Mr. Trowbridge, the New York lawyer, I believe.” owbridge! I know that old tight- wad,” Shirley sald with a frown. “All Cuyler’s business goes through him, and a nice time we had with him! By the way, do you play bridge?” “Y4 Margaret said, no longer sur- prised at the casual way with which Cuyler Theobald could be mentioned by this woman who had been his wife, but llhlken by her own thoughts, neverthe- ess “And are Stanley and his aunt going to the Murray party tonight?” “I think—I know they are. “Couldn’t you come down and have dinner with me?” Shirley said. ‘“Mrs. de Vilbiss is coming and an old friend —a man who happens to be here from New York.” “I'd love to. But perhaps I had bet- ter speak to Mrs. Cutting first—" ‘When Margaret went in Mrs. Cut- ting was lying down, and Margaret found the simple matter of the Theo- bald invitation unexpectedly awkward to introduce. She went into her em- flom‘s room, as she was always privi- leged to do, and found her resting, with Carrie brushing her thin hair. Margaret took her sewing basket, sat down and began a resume of the day: what Jim had said and who had praised him. Oh, yes, and Mrs. Theobald had been at the club. “Anybody speak to her?” Mrs. Cut- ting asked interestedly. “I don't know, because I had Jimmie at the slides. But the Wainwrights brought her, and their maid told the Bishop chauffeur——" Margaret inter- rupted herself to lluglh, “This is be- low-stairs gossip wil a vengeence,” she said. “Never mind. Go on. What'd she say?” sald Mrs. Cutting eagerly. “Well, she said that Mrs. Theobald had found the Wainwright's dog. He'd run away, it seems” sald Margaret, “and that Mrs. Theobald had said she was coming to the club and asked them if they would give her a lift!"” “Isn’t that exactly like her!” breathed Mrs. Cutting, in a tone of triumph. “She probably stole the dog” she added, with deep amusement, and even surprise, at her own humor. Now was the time to repeat the in- vitation; Margaret introduced it cas- ually. She had been asked to fill a bridge-table. She would be entirely willing to telephone Mrs, Theobald and say that Mrs. Cutting had given her something to do this evening. But to her surprise Mrs. Cutting hesitated. No, she said finally, perhaps 1t would be a good idea for Miss Yorke to go, if she didn’t mind. She implied that Shirley Theobald would be the talk of the hour, after all, and, since every one would be thirsty for detalls concerning her, it might be as well to be the dispensers of these details. Margaret felt the situation to be one of the strangest in her life, when she sat at Shirley Theobald’s dinner table a few hours later. Mrs. Theobald wore a black lace dress, her hair, her complexion, her jewels, were perfection, under lamps. She was a delightful hostess, merry and amusing, and long before the evening was over Margaret could forgive Elise de Vilbiss her capitula- tion, or indeed forgive anybody who found it easy to be kind to Shirley Theobald. The fourth member of the group was a handsome middle-aged man, who talked incessantly. “Your face is familiar to me some- how, Miss Yorke,” he said unexpectedly, during the deal. His fine smiling eyes were shrewdly fixed upon her. “Mine?” Margaret asked, flushing brightly over her soft dark skin. “Y Did you ever live in New Yorl “New York hasn't been my home for B e 1 = it's funny. You come from——?" “From——the Middle West.” “Ah, I don't know the Middle West at all” My say, is it?” He considered his cards. “You passed, Mrs. Theobald. I say, by. H'm! That’s very funny.” “Three rts,” Margaret said, se- But Shirley noticed that her The two women parted at midnight with the air of old friends, and after tha* an odd, indefinable relationship sprang up between them. Margaret, under her charming man- ner, found Shirley, as she had expected to find her, a complete ; there rson in the world to ey d. She wanted to jus- tify herself, to blame herself, to anilyze and describe herself to beautify herself. But she did this with unusual charm. Perhaps some instinct of self-prutec- tion taught her to make this favorite topic charming to other persons. Mar- garet thought her nothing short o. fas- cinating in the cold and calculatir selfishness that was so perfumed, so prettily garbed, so wittily presented. Among a hundred other triumphs, she told Margaret all about the long- ago affair with Stan, and Margaret winced inwardly at the thought of Stan with Shirley in his arms. at the picture of Stan furnishing a home for Shirley. “Fool thai I was!” said Shirley, frankly. “It would have been ideal in every way. I would have been here among my own people. We'd have had children. But——" And she sighed. “But there's always been a crazy streak in me,” she admitted. M t analyzed her as being one of the women to whom sex in life is all-important; her own beauty and at- tractiveness appeared to Shirley as nothing more than weapons in the old game. * ok k ok Stanley Crittenden, cutting across the little connecting lane that ran be- tween the Wylles’ and his aunt’s gar- dens, chanced to meet Shirley at twi- light, upon a certain hot evening in late August. They stood and chatted for a mo- ment; Shirley raising that flower-like, happy face of hers to his. “Come in and see me for a moment, Stan. I'm all alone!” She opened her gate as she spoke. “I—I—oughtn’t——" Shirley did not particularly attract him, and he was alng home to dinner. But he nodded, nt his tall head to go through the curved top of the gate, and followed her to the deep, cool, orderly porch. Shirley threw herself into a long chair and rang for something cool to drink. It was restful here, secluded and quiet, and Stan, comfortable in his own chair, heard a clock somewhere | f he | strike & silvery five and told himself that if he reached home—two hundred feet away—even in an hour, he would still be earlier than they expected him. “Stan,” Shirley said to him, “do you know that's an extremely pretty woman, Miss Yorke?” “We don't think so” Stan answered smiling. And as Shirley looked up in pleased surprise, he added good-natur- edly: “We think she's beautiful! Doesn't she seem so to you?” “Ye-es—I never thought of it. I sup- pose she is,” Shirley conceded unwill- ingly. “In that sort of dark way,” she added, thoughtfully and disparagingly. “Tell me about her!” she commanded. “F don't know Ask --about the New Deal Jor Today’s Dollar Sensationally Low DELIVERED Prices!

As a matter of fact, she doesn't like me.” “No, but tell me!” Shirley said in- terestedly and n?‘erly‘ “Has she a suitor? She's such a close-mouthed creature! I'm dying to hear about her! Has she a beau?” “She has had,” Stan answered brief- ly. And with & grin he added, “She had—me.” Shirley was thunderstruck. Color came into her face, and she smiled in- credulously; she would have been glad to think that Stan was not serious. Shirley knew him to be oddly sim- ple, old-fashioned in his ideas of women, almost—by her standard, at least—a prude. No modern smoking, drinking girl would get him. But an experienced, devoted woman mi ht. Shirley had before this made up her mind that he was well worth watching, well worth winning back to friendship at_least, if no more. It was therefore painfully disconcert- ing to have his own admission that all he had to offer had been already laid at the feet of Margaret Yorke. “Stan, you don’t mean it!” she said. “Tell me about it—tell me about it!” she coaxed him. Stanley shrugged. “Nothing to tell, my dear. We had & house-party at the ranch, and she managed us all—the crowd, my aunt, the kid, the staff, it all went like clock-work. After it was over, I got to thinking that she was the whole thing, she'd made it so wonderful, and I went back and told her so, and asked her to let me make love to her. She—de- clined.” % “In the name of heaven, why?” she asked, 'with a little apologetic laugh. “Well, she had other plans, possibly.’ “You mean she’s engaged to some- body else?” Shirley asked, in relief. “Oh, no; I dont’ imagine so. But isn't it concelvable that she doesn't like me?” “No, it'’s not!” said Shirley, shortly and crossly. “Don’t. '.le her I mentioned this!” “Oh, Stan—as if I would!” They sat on in silence for & few min- utes; Shirley thinking deeply. She had never thought of Margaret Yorke as & real person, much less as a rival, be- ore. “I wonder why she refused him?” she asked herself, a hundred times. And a hundred times she added, in her heart, “She’ll never have another chance!” (Continued in Tomorrow's Star). Given Prison Sentences.

WoMEN ’Eey are the principal users of this great 25¢ dentifrice Two million acclaim the way it beautifies teeth—protects precious enamel When it comes to the matter of teeth, and keeping them sound and beautiful, a woman's a crank—the worst kind of a crank, as any dentist will tell you.

More than 2 million of them have rejected other dentifrices in favor of this one made by the makers of Listerine. They like its gentle but thorough action. They like the way it gets around and ia between tecth and sweeps out decay. They say it protects precious enamel. They like the way it erases tartar and discoloration. The brilliance and luster it imparts to the teeth. The fresh fecling of exhilaration it leaves in the mouth—like Listerine itself. Incidentally, that $3 they save by using it instead of tooth pastes in the sof class, may be—and is—applied to buying a couple of pairs of silk hose. We urge you to try Listerine Tooth Paste.
