Love’s Awakening The u:'m Stery a Steadfast Woman By Adele Garrison The Brixtoms Arrive and Madge Has & Presentiment of Impending ‘frouble As the two strange cars turned | into the driveway, 1 heard Lillian catch her breath sharply. But there ‘was no tremor in her voice, no per- turbation in her face as she an- swered my perfunctory query, “The Brixtons?” with a laconic “Yes” and then went with me down the steps to welcome the guests. Behind me, 1 heard Mary's voice, low and mirthful. ‘Here they are, Marion. strut your stuff. I see hin. Now He's darned good-looking if you ask me. | Come back here, you little idiot.”” For Marion had scudded into the | house where Mary contritely fol- lowed her, and when we came b up to the veranda, neither girl wa to be seen. But I mentally echoed Mary's comment on young Konald Brixton. Just above medium height, lithe, slender, his regular feature: fair hair and blond coloring were redeemed from commonplaceness by keen, merry dark eyes and a charm- Ing smile. A most personable and engaging youth, altogether—calcu- lated to stir the pulses of any young girl. But It was neither Tonald Brix- ton nor his sister Carolyn, a charm- ing sprite with merry brown eyes curiously regarding us, who held my Interest. That was focused upon the tall slender woman with silv sprinkled hair crowning & e al- most perfect in feature, and youth- ful in coloring and skin texture, who was clasped fast in Lillian's arms, “Helen!” Lillian was saying, fully. “How wonderful to see joy- vou, "l e wanted you so, dear, all the '8! The words wer like pounam cry, though softly uttere in a voice so beautifully modulated that T found myself waiting anx- iously to hear its tones again. But there was the record of infinite suf- fering in that voice, and I saw that her black eyes which were still lus- | trous, rarely beautiful, were shad- owed with the same pain mirrored in her fac et to the casual obscrver ther ‘was no reason for that shadow in Helen Brixton’s eyes. Her two chil- dren were apparently all that any mother could wish, and their adora- which | tion for her was patent, As evident {2lso was the devotion of her hus- band, big, florid, good-looking Sam- | uel Brixton, whose gray eyes, as he | watched the reunion of the long ated friends, held the tender, mpatient indulgence which is the perquisite of well-loved wives. 1 came to a switt conclusion rom beneath my half-lowered ey . 1 watched the man whom Lil- lian 36 feared. Though I had no doubt of his unscrupulousness — craft and trickery could not wholly be hidden by the blandness of his expression—the man loved his wife, | and was as proudly adoring of her children whom he had adopted in | infancy as if they indeed had been his own, But there was no hint of any soft- ening emotion in the brilliant, | slightly miocking eyes of tye man | who stood near Samuel Brixton, and who I knew must be the half-broth- er, Charles Owen, of whom he had spoken in his letter to Lilllan, ightly shorter than his bulky | brother, his lithe slimness and his carriage—that of an athlete who keeps himself in training—made him appear taller. Dapper in dress, almost foppish, there was no hint of weakness in his face or manner. He was like a highly-charged wire, I told myself,—as dangerous and as hard. Vaguely, he reminded me of Allen Drake, the brilliant secret service agent who had so long been a comrade of my father's in his work. But he had no hint in his of the high single-minded ad- herence to duty and the flaming loyalty to country and friends which are masked by Allen Drake's lazily contemptuous manner. The mockery in Charles Owen's brilliant cyes deepened, or so 1 fancied. as he watched his sister- |In-law almost weeping in Lillan's embrace. Then his glance swept me, with an appraising scrutiny which | not only angered me, but gave me | the eerie feeling that something sin- ister, dangerous, was nedr me. Lil- |lian's vague fears concerned Samuel Brixton, but mine relegated him to |2 minor position. If there were any hidden sinister purpose in this sud- | den visitation of the Brixton family: | it had its origin, I was sure, in the 'l»r.;in of Charles Owen. | as |t | (Continued Tomorrow) Copyright, 1928, Newspaper ature Service, Ine. Rusty Barcly Escapes By Thormton W. Burgess Be margin great or margin small, Be thankful for escape at all. —Rusty the Fox Sguirrel When Rusty the Fox Squirrel parted from his cousin, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, over in the Green Forest, he headed stiaight south. H intended to make a long journcy. That is, he intended to make what would be a long journey for a little fellow like him. He intended to keep going until he found a place where food was plentiful. Presently Rusty came to the edge of the Green Forest. Before him stretched the Green Meadows. Rusty didn't lik the Jooks of the Green Meadows. He didn't like the idea of crossing them. You see, while he fecls very much at home on the ground, he | wants trees very near at hand, and on the Green Meadows there were no trees, save a few widely scat- tered ones. “Oh, dear!” sald Rusty. “I sup- pose there’s nothing for it but to go | ahead. T haven't any wings, #0 can't fly. To go around would take | too long. I do hope that Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy are nowher around. Well, if I've got to do it, I've got to do it, so here go: Away went Rusty the Fox Squirrel, hound- | ing alonz as a Squirre When | he started there ws any -numl in sight, but he wa only about two-thirds across when Redtail the | Hawk came sailing over the Meadows.

Try re would, Redtail couldn't him, After trying a few times, tail flew to the top of a fall tres some distance away. From fhere he could watch Rusty and he doubted if Rusty could see “If 1 can once the open meadows him!" said Red have him. 1 is to get hin away from those bushes. And hes got to cross the open meadows to get away. 1 belivve he was on way south. He must be leavin Green Forest. T have heard that nuts are scarce this year. That must be it. He's going to look a place where nuts are more plenti ful. Well, perhaps hell thers and perhaps he woh't. He won't if 1 can help it!” Poor Rusty! He was in a prck of trouble, as the saving is. His were not quite good enough to Redtail on that distant tree had guessed where Redtail gone. “He hasn’t given me up thought Rusty. “No. sir. e hasn't given me up yet.

From the very beginning he encouraged in him every masculine trait. The father himself had had a difticult time being hard and mas- culine enough to buck a predatory world. In the war he had been squeamish about the use of his bay- onet. He had suffered from compas- slon for his enemies and fear for himself. He was resolved that his son shoyld not suffer as he had frem sensitiveness and fear. In consequence of his father's training certain excellent traits were well developed in Peter by the time he was four. He was afraid of noth- ing. He would knock down a boy half a head taller than himself if he was being bullied. He bore pain without flinching. Certainly he was able to take care of himself in pro- per he-man style. But there were other traits, too. When it was decided by his parents that his pet rabbits had become & nuisance and would have to be kill- ed, Peter stood by and watched the execution of his former pets with perfect poise and intense fascina- tion. Later he ate his share of rab- ! bit stew with kood appetite. ‘Fine,” said his father, “There'.l never be anythiug mnamby-pamby and neurotic about him!" Next door lived & small boy of Peter's age. He was much smaller and had not half his strength and vitality. In their play together Peter never lost an opportunity to brow teat and bully the little fellow. The climax of brutality came when Peter inveigled him into letting him tight- en a monkey wrench around his arm. The more he cried with pain the tighter Peter screwed the wrench, until the little one was re- duced to screaming agony and his mother came to the rescue, In his effort to make of his ren the aggressive and hard-bolled man he wished that he himself had been, Peter's father Is instilling a dgsree of crueity and insensibility to the feelings of others that can only re- dult in his being an ugly and unlov- able personality. In training our children let us be always on guard lest we allow the troubles of our own youth to warp our visien of what is best for the child. Health Hints BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Lditor Journal of the American With the coming of cold weather householders use more gas for heat- ing purposes and decrease ventila- tion by closing doors and windows. As a result there begin to develop increasing numbers of cases of poi- soning from carbon monoxide, which is the same dangerous pol #on that occurs In automobile ex- haust gas. 8o many cases each year that the Department of Commerce has {ssued a bulletin warning people against breathing the fumes produced by improperly adjusted or poerly constructed heating appliances. Symploms It is not uncommon for people to blame their symptoms, such as languor, headache and nausea, on automobile gases coming from the atreet, not realizing that the gas range operating in the kitchen of small upartments, particularly of kitchenet apartments, may pro- vide a sufficlent amount of carbon monoxide gas to cause dangerous symptoms, In one case investigated at the Pittsburgh Experiment Station of the Bureau of Mines, it was found that the street air coming into the apartment contained less than five parts carbon monoxide for each million parts of air, an amount in- sufficlent to produce any symp- toms, On thg other hand, when the gas range of the four-room apart- ment was used for cooking, the are reported teaspoon salt, 1-4 teaspoon cinna- mon, 1-4 teaspoon pepper, 1 egg yoke, 1 egg white. Mash the potatoes after they have been cooked and peeled. Add the | butter, seasonings and egg yolk and beat for 1 minute. Fold in the stiff- Iy beaten egg white and roughly pile i a buttered baking dish. Bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Serve i thi dish in whieh baked. I Roquefort Cheeke Dressing for Six One-half eup Roquefort chicese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1-4 teaspoon dry mustard, 1-4 teaspoon pepper, 1-4 teaspoon celery salt, 4 tablespoons vinegar, 1-2 cup salad oil. Crumble the cheese with a fork. Mix the rest of the ingredients and beat for one minute. Add the checse and thoroughly mix with the fork. Chill. When ready to serve, pour portions on lettuce quarters or vege- table salads. Serve at once. Date Bars Three eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1 tea- spoon vanilla, 1-8 teaspoon salt, 1 cup chopped dates, 1-2 cup broken nut meats, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder. Beat the eggs for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and beat for one minute. 1 Add the rest of the ingredients and | mix. Pour into a shallow pan, which has been fitted with waxed paper. Bake in a moderate oven for 25 minutes.

Nov. 3 (®—Turning| completely away from the jazz of recent yeurs, Washington society this winter will revive the stately old-fashioned cotillion as quite the latest and most correct thing in dancing. Debutantes who figure largely on the season’s calendar are cagerly planning lengthened frocks of frills and furbelows to match the digni- tied tigures to the cotillion. They are consulting hair dressers con- cerning false knots of curls to at- tach to their bobbed locks. Invitations for the first of the af- fairs to be given at the Mayflower hotel December 10 by the Washing- ton Bachelors are already out. The Mst of the committee in charge is thickly sprinkled with honorables and generals and commanders, All sorts of novel etunts and fa- vors are being plahned. There will be two orchestras, one imported from New York. Favors, by which the men will find their partners, will eclipse anything seen in Wash- ington for many a day.

Not alone the cotillionz, but the fact that many of the season’s de- butantes will emerge into the so- cial limelight with not enly one coming-out party, but two, makes this season unique. Heretofore one tea or one ball was deemed suffi- cient to give Miss Debbie her due, but now many of the younger set are demanding both. Among those who are to ba so in- dulged by their parents arve >liss daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Louis 8. Greene, and Mk Adair Childress, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Childress. Both girls will be formally preserted to soclety with afternoon teas at their homes, to be followed shortly after with balls at the fashionable Chevy Chase club.
