A War Bride By Charlotte Wharton Ayers Copyrigit, 1018, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Prening World.) | Sara Determines to Block Swain’s Unpatriotic Prof- iteering Scheme But Her First Move Is Unex- pectedly Checked. CHAPTER X. ARA sat at her desk too numbed with her eurpriaing sensations to think coherently, and presently she found herself drawing long, sobbing breaths. Just then she was too much occupied with her own feel- ings to think of what she could DO. She dimly sensed that Swain had taken his hat and gone ont Sho supposed that be had gone to the works and would not be back for some time, The same longing she had had for Jim at the ifrary that day came over her again. It choked her throat and filled her mind. What a parasitica) little ‘beast she had been. But she was allve now, thank God! Alive to the pos- @ibilities of graft and profiteering and gambling in the lives of the soldiers. Alive to the danger of minimizing their ‘efforts by giving them poor sup- plies! Alive to everything she had been blind to before. Ghe took a mental X-RAY of the pools and shadows of her soul. She looked deep, and ‘what she saw was not a pretty stghi! Stripped bare as a bone, there was not a rag of self-respect left. She had been a creeping, clinging, smother- ing thing, with but one aim in life, that she might Itve in soft places and have all the luxuries she desired. Sara shuddered at what she saw. She twas beginning to realize that there was more—much more—to life than fmere case of living and the gratification of selfish desires. er HOME PAGE Thursday, September 5, 1918 ’ “THT... ....2 ee >. e e 3x3 Now They’re Wearing ‘‘ Beauty Veils “BEAUTY SPOTS” HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE VEIL FOR EARLY FALL WEAR, IN ALL SORTS OF ODD DESIGNS AND WITH FETCHING RESULTS VELL THE (FASS HLONAB LE ARE.

Sho had lost sight of that Bolnt in her shaken disgust at the more obvious part of the transaction. ‘Bwain had been good to her in his ‘way, Dut she was beginning to under- @tand that he too was governed by entirely selfish reasons, and any one ‘that belonged to him would be treat- ed well as long as they did not tnter- fere with any of his plans.

She was trembling so that she could hardly stand, but she lost none of her daunt- less spirit- “I will not gtve them to you,"she said determinedly. Swain reached over, and taking both her hands in one of MMs strong ones, he pulled her away—none too gently—and took the sheets with his free hand. Then he let her go Sara sank back into her chair and put her face in her hands. Swain looked them over carefully. Then he said quietly: “You've done your work well, What did you {intend doing with these notes?” Sara looked up with pleading eyes. “I was going to try and prevent your doing so great @ wrong.” Swain smiled in a way that Sara didn't like, and his eyes hardened. “Why, you poor little simpleton— did you think you could buck against me and get away with it? Did you think I'd calmly let you upset all my plans for making a clear profit of a million dollars and not try to stop you? J had a hunch that you were getting a change of heart, and I thought I'd come back and talk it over with you, but I didn’t expect to get the knife in this fashion, Sara.
