N the week that followed Margaret Yorke and Mrs. Cutting found use for every particle of patience they could muster. Shirley Theobald took complete possession of Up- lands, and everything that occurred there. was arranged Wwith reference to her comfort or desire. Shirley began by being everything that was sweet, -enthusiastic, apprecia- tive. She was tired, she pleaded, she didn't want to interfere with anybody's plans, she just wanted to lie here m one of the great wicker chairs and rest. After the first few hours, everything that Shirley said and did jarred upon Margaret; she found herself respond- ing heavily and with effort, her smiles hurt the actual muscles of her face, and her whole mental, moral and spiritual beinl seemed to be metamorphosed into something unmanageable, irritable and strange. Mrs. Cutting was at first in an equally uncomfortable state, with her own type of heartache and resentment. She mld Margaret twenty times. on that first Saturday afternoon, that if Shirley Theobald was to stay at Uplands she herself would go home. She disliked the gir], and Stan must have known it! How oould Stan be so blind—how could Stan so blindé she and his aunt asked eu;h other, asked them- this pretty, selfish little egotist every- thing that was admirable and fine in ‘woman? Yet that he did think her so, they eflflfl not long doubt. Stan was at first trifie apologetic at having brought her dnwn to them with only a few hours’ warning. But as Mrs. Cutting and Mar- rose to the situation, welcomed cordially, the conviction that hMl done a wise and clever thing upon Stan.

She had her secrets. Life was not all simple and smooth for her.

Stanley, after a moment’s hesitation, disappeared, and the girl, dizzy with feeling, went on blindly ar- ranging her flowers. She turned. He was gone, A sick- ness of spirit descended upon her and did not lift for the remainder of the day. She avoided Stanley's neighbor- hood; it was impossible to avoid Shirley, who was making herself lovely in lemon-colored lace and a straw-colored hat, to_go with Stanley to the San Mateo Club to get the Riverses and the Cannons and bring them back for lunch. Stanley, going back to the porch, and oddly haunted by the memory of Mar- garet'’s slender, youthful figure, the brown hands busy among me flowers, had hinted that Mar and Jim wht like to go alon; He“mld ‘Sound Advice to Pile erers ssed Relief Almost Instantly— Feel Fine Few Da; UNGUENTINE CONES | Don't neglect piles—often they | grow like mus| and the mad- dening itching—soreness—the burn- |and distress bring on nervous | trouble. ‘When The Norwich Pharmacal | Company (makers of famous Un- guentine) decided to give to the |world & real pile remedy you may rest assured that nothing but the best would do—it must be supreme- 'ly efficient.
