Mrs. Bird was standing with her hand cupped behind her ear,.and T knew that her trained hearing was following every sound of the smal- ler motor boat. “He's alongside now,” she said. “He's shut off the motor. Would vou say Griffin's boat is out of their inlet yet?” She turned to the youth, called John, who stood near her, “Just about,” he returned. “That's what 1 thought,” she com- mented, “Well, we'll know what's what in a minute or two! ot a sound now.” Involuntarily T and gripped her lessly waiting for the signal Lillian had promised, while the lapping of the water at our feet sounded thundering surf, and the distant chug of motor boats like the rattle of artillery.

Then she relaxed and laughing softly. “Bless you,” she said. “Those boys are not on my payroll.

[Unlocking the door and switch- ling on the lights, Mrs. Bird looked searchingly around the room. vi- dently finding nothing disturbed, she locked the door, and put out the lights, and fumbling with the masked door in the wall, ‘r(‘\&‘ me after her into the passage. “There ! She drew a palpably re- lieved Dbreath, as she slid the door int6 place behind her, and turned the light of her flashlight on the floor of the narrow passageway. “Everything's all right now.” But 1 noticed that she spoke in a whisper, and I made no repiy. Neither did she speak again, until {after reaching the end of the pas- | sage in the basement, she led the way | upstairs to her sitting room. “Now,"” she said, rocking chair before the fire “you've |got the hardest job of all, Sitting still until Johh comes back so that we can find out what the watehing the streets are doing.” Peasant Dress A peasant dress of heavy crepe de chine is embroidered bright red and has a red sash, Cloche Poy Even the tiniest specimens of fem- !ininity have fallen under the spell of the cloche ,and it is scen adapted for ’Mmlrranlm‘rn in the most "ting ways, | Trench Hats of French blue straw have bands of shaded silk or flowers of durker or lighter tones as trimming.

You know that a man is so eonsti- tuted he can love a woman devotedly ~~or at least think he can love her devotedly—-and be untrue to her every week, 1 have always found that with you, curiosity ‘is a greater temptation than paasion and I don’t like your descrip- | tion of that girl. Get rid of her. 1 | don't believe that you can hurt 1.08- lie again as you have just hurt her and still keep her as your wife, You seem to think that, now you have told Leslie that T am not the father of the boy, that 1 ean come over there. I can't do it, Jack, ¥ would he perfectly {1l at ease and it would embarrass me more to know that Leslle knew that 1 knew whole story than it did when I thought she thought 1 was little Jack's father, By the way, 1 picked up, in Los Angeles, a lovely old piece of scariet coral carved into the shape of a god which is supposed to bring good luck, I'm mailing it today in a registere) package to you and, if vou like, I would like you to give it to Leslie, 1t will make a very pretty pendant with | some ribbon through 1 netieed that all the women were wearing things of that kind out in the western cities, Now 1 suppose that as you have made a clean breast of things you expeet to live happy ever after. You say that Leslie has forgiven you, but don’t be too sure of that, ol4 man. 1 believe that you thing out of Leslie’s life that you ean rever put back again and this loss will be with her always every time she iooks at the boy. Although Paula Perier may not know it, she has certainly hit upon a most lasting and terrible revenge. She will not let either of you forget. T will venture, at this moment, that Leslie never picka the child up when you are in the room, and catches your eye, that she does not wonder to herself If the picture does not bring another one to your a picture of the child’s real mother. However, time straightens out things one way or another. You will be either very happy or very mis- erable, and nothing that you can do from now on will help things at all, although there are a grea things that you can do that w things worse. So mind your Jack, mind your step. . You see, Lesi tike most girls when they marry, thought she was vour first love and she has with her, all the time, indisputable proof that she was not.
