REVELATIONS What Robert Gordon - Disclosed to Madge. Well, lady lfll’, they haven't made you take the count yet, have they? By Jove, you're prettier than ever.” Ushered by Lillian, Harry Under- ‘wood came into my room with all his usual breesiness, and stood looking down at me as I lay propped against the pillows Lillian had piled around me, It was the first time I had seen him ‘SInce the night' of our dinner, when with the wild idea of punishing Dicky for: his foolishness regarding elderly Mr. Gardon I had carried on a rather intense flirtation with Harry Underwood. ' had been -heartily sorry for and ashamed of the experiment before the dinner was half over, and many times- since the accident which in- tofruges 1) el d the evening I had wondered, half-whimsically, whether my dress catching fire was not a “judgment on me.””’ 1 had deeply dreaded seeing: Mr. Underwood again, but as I looked into his eyes I saw ' nothing but frigndly cheeriness and’ pity. [illian 'drew_a chair for him to my beside, and for a few' moments he chatted of everything and nothing in the entertaining manner he knows 80 well how to use. 5 “You may have just three minutes more, Harry,” Lillan said at last. ‘“Stay here while I go down to tele- { phone. Then you'll haveg to vamoase. Mr . Gordon is coming over, and I .{can’t have her too tired.” and I saw & quick look of understand- Her husband gave a low whistle, ingness betweea him and Lilllan.

He thought a long minute, then with a quick ‘gesture he caught my uninjured hand in his, carrled it to his Mps, and kissed it, then laid it gently back upon the bed again. _“Done”, he sald gruffly. “It won't ‘bother me much for awhile anyway.

Perhaps I can persuade the old boy to loosen up on some of his bank roll and play angel. But anyway I'm going to be gone quite ‘a stretch, and when I come back I'll try to be a reformed character. But remember, wherever I am ‘me art is true to Poll’ " H& bowed mockingly with his old manner, and walked toward the door, meeting Lillian as she came in, “So long, Lil,” he said carelessly. “I'm going for a long walk. See you later.” 7 She looked at him searchingly. “All right”, she answered laconically, and then came oyer to me. “Mr, Gordon will be here in a half- hour,” she said. ‘Please try to Test a lttle before Ae comes.” She lowered the shades, and my pillows, kissed me gently, and left the room. But I could neither rest nor -sleep. The wildest conjectures went through my brain. Who “was Robert Gordon, and why. was.he so strangely interested in me? e When Lillian came back she bgthed my hands and face and gave me an' eganog before propping me up against my pillows to receive my visitor, “0Of course you.will stay with me, Lillian, while he is here,”-I said., She -sndiled enigmatically. of the timfe,” she said. But when Mr. Gordon came, bring- ing ‘with hi an immense sheaf of roses, she left the room almost at once, giving as an excuse her wish to arrange the flowers. “Don’t Shrink From’ Me.” My visitor's eyes were burning with a light that almost frightened me as he sat down by my bedside and took my hand in his, /“My dear child”, he said, and though the words were such as any elderly man might address to a young woman, yet there was an intensity in thém that ‘made me uncomfortable. “Are you sure everything is all right with you?” “Very sure,” I returned, smiling. “If - Mrs, Underwood would permit me ta do ®0, I am certain I could get up ou must not think of trying it,” he returned sharply, and with a note in his voice, almost like authority, which puszled me. “Thank God for Mrs. Underwood!" he went on, “She is'a woman in a thousand. I am indebted to her for life.”" I shrank back among my pillows, 'and wished that Lilllan would return to the room. I began to wonder if Mr. Gordan’s brain was not slightly turned, Surely, the fact that he had once known and loved %‘muflr vagant was ‘no excuse for the attitude he was taking. He saw the movement, and into his eyes flashed a look so mournful, so filled, with longing that I was thrilled to the heart. The next moment he. threw himself upon his knees by the side of my bed, and cried out tensely: “Oh, my darling child, don't shrink from me. You will kill me. Don't you see? Can't you guess? I am your father!™ k THE AMATEUR GARDENER HERALD'S DAILY ADVIOE FROM WASHINGTON FOR THOSE Spinach is & - gool weather crop, sive.& .today’s bullétin from the sion in its. couree of tion for readers of the Herald..

Geraldine Farrar brings Joan of Arc back to life. She lives as bne of us, and one can almost hear her speak, so vivid are the scenes in which she appears. ‘“Joan the Waman” does not want for thrills. Never have such battle scenes been seen on the screen before, and 1t is doubtful if they will ever be surpaseed, Never has an audience been 80 swayed by any photodrama, and the spasmodic bursts of applause came like volleys from a nest of ma- chine guns. There were few heartstrings that were not tautened in the moments of pathos in this production, and many tear-filled eves when the last mo- ments of France's wonderful heroine were, shown. N This photodrama, is like. a ~lving page from history, but, thopgh based on the doings of ancient times, it spells many a lesson to be heeded by we moderns. Tt teaches that nathing can be gained without self-sacrifice. It teaches also that the humblest among uys can become useful and rise to greatness if we only will it. But, best and greatest of all, it teaches re- spect for the power and hearts of womankind-who can rise to the high- est pinnacle of success without the ald of men.
