But be- fore this—-over since I've known her —there's been something wrong. Jean Estamps was in love with her, and so is Darehurst and every other man in the place excepting Eddie Lounsbury. And she is in love with Darehurst, of course. But there's some Teason why they can't be Pome sound of excited yoices came in from the lawn. a “There! The worst has happened, cried Minnie as the two girls hastened “They found Bollar, Darehurst and Philippa at the centre of a rapidly increasing group, and it soon came out that Philippa, taking an early morning walk, had been followed by one of Bollars men and stopped as ghe was trying to leave the grounds.

He listened to Farlow’s instructions without a word, and when that wor- thy took his leave remained stand- ing before his new master like an automaton waiting for some one to pull its string. MoClue, reviewing rapidly all that Farlow had just said, was forced to admit that ‘no ive had ever been given a © complete carte blanche. ‘That the director of the Superba was going to the city to at- tend to routine affairs seemed doubt- ful. Then he turned his thoughta io the Chinaman, and was suddenly re- minded of something. “Sit down here beside me, Yen Hui, and act human," he said, “E want to ask you-—-the Chow dog is @ Chinese breed, isn't it?" “Him Chinese, yes," replied the Ori- ental, remaining standing. “Well, [ thought [ saw one around here yesterday. He looked sick. Whom does he belong to?" “That Chau-Chau, Him belong to “That so? How Is he this morning? Looked to me like a pretty mick dog." “Him dead!" For an instant there flashed from the passive face such a look of passion and hatred that Mo- Clue felt us if he had seen the mantle of slag ripped from the crater of a volcano, But the look was gone soon that one could hardly be cert of having observed it, and to all 6 sequent inquiries Yen Hu! gave only politely indifferent anéwers, saying, when ‘the possibility of poison was hinted at: “Not say poison, Chau-Chau, him have velly bad stomach, Eat some- thing bad, mebbe—lisaglee—him get chill—go0 die. No mlatteh, Plenty dog.” Leaving Yen Hui behind, the Ferret directed his steps towards the wall where Clara had seen 4 man escaping the night before. And sure enough there was 4 rope, knotted at intervals to facilitate climbing, its upper end held firmly by a grappling hook caught in a small tree growing just outside, Going back to the house, he found the day’s wash just being collected in the kitchen, and immediately noticed a towel) (of the sort that is made to be suspended from @ roller) which was already as wet as if it were just from the tub. 3 “Where did you get this?" he asked the girl who was throwing It into a b et. “From the laundry, sir,” she an- swered. ‘Was It ag wet as that the laa ime saw it?" “No, air, It was dry yesterday.

And they envied her, his wife, To have such a man for husband. But down deep in her heart of hearts . She knew, as no one else could know, his sarcasm and satire, The weary nights of waiting for his return on pleasure bent, The bitter words, the frigid frowns, The cutting glances that were hers, To whom he showed no courtesy or consideration. She knew, as no one else coifid know, He sang the chimé of cheer to all who came his way, But to her the wail of weariness. He was not unlike the wolf within, the sheep without. And the wee ones, too, felt the sting. Inside his walls he was master And outside the slave to those he sought to please. But the day came when she left And returned to where he had wooed and won her. The man was stunned, He did not dream she had courage to stand alone And thought she would return ere long—but she did not. He sought the friends he had tried to please And to whom he had played the cavalier, But he could not stand the test. For the more of him they saw ‘The more he showed that other side. And soon they would have none of him, And some there were who told him: Time, too, took a hand and taught him, And he learned to understand before it was too late That the husband worth while is he who never falls To show the same respect to the One Woman As he does to every woman. |WHAT Coprrtelt |. by the Press Publising Oo, (The New York Bvening World ( QUESTIONS, 1.

Do not attempt to dive until you have’ mastered one or more swimming strokes and have perfect confidence in deep water: It is dangerous to try to leurn to dive in shaliow water, for a broken neok may be the result, I should advise the beginner to learn the standing dive first.

What do you ask me for?” re- ed Mr. Jarr. “Why didn’t you read a declared Mrs, Jarr. “1 am lucky if I get time to look at the deaths and marriages and the engagements and read the dry goods advertisoments.” “I bring the evening papers home with me and we get the morning paper,” said Mr. Jarr. “You could find the time if you wanted to.” “Yes, I could!” rejoined Mrs. Jarr sarcastically, "You carry the morn- ng paper away with you when you go down town, and as for the eve- ning papers, when you don’t leave them in the cars I’m too tired to do more than glance at them. “Well, don't start fussing at me, then," said Mr. Jarr, “and I'l tell you wbhout it as | remember it.” “Lf it concerns the Stillman case don't mention It. That's a dreadful marriage trial and not @ trial mar- riage,” said Mrs. Jarr. “But what is it? Hes Mrs. Stillman said anything more?” “No, this is not the Stillman case As I was going to say, trial mar- riages"—— “I'm sure my marriage has been 4 trial to me,” said Mrs. Jarr, as if to merselt. Mr. Jarr gave her a severe glance and continued. “Trial marriages are when people find out they can’t get along to- gether’— “Oh, yes, I know,” interrupted Mrs. Jarr. "Then they go to court for a divorce and say horrid things about each other, and the woman wants ali- mony and the children, and the man doesn't want her to have the children or any alimony, ether, and” “You are talking about divorce trials, not trial marriages,” said Mr. Jarr, mutteringly. “But go on, you make it all so clear and simple” “Dm glad you think #0," replied Mrs. Jarr, “That's why I say { don't see why the papers should make such a fuss about it, I'm glad I didn't bother my time reading it."" “Oh, you are, are you?” snecred Mr. Jarr. “Well, please let me get a word in edgeways and tell you that they are two different things.” “Well, I'm sure you needn't be #0 hh about it!" declared Mrs. Mrs. Kittingly says her first husband gave the preacher a hun- dred dollars and was two o'clock in the morning and they woke the preacher up and he married them in a dressing gown, Anyway, even if I might have done better, I had a nice bome wedding’ “Are you listening to me, or am [ listening to you?” demanded Mr, Jarr ptens ily. ‘Why, I'm listening te you, but it takes you all night to teil it," re- piled Mra, Jarr. ‘What were we talking ,about ?"" Mr. Sarr controlled himself with a violent effort. “We were talking about trial marriages, I belleve,” he said. “You mean old thing!” said Mra, Jarr, putting her arms atound hin. “I didn't mean it when I said my mar: riage is a trial. The trial is over, We're sentenced for jife! “And we wouldn't escape !f we could!” declared Mr. Jarr proudly And so the case wus settled out of court fore diving into the water as illustrate ed in Nos. 2 and 3, Raixe the hands to @ vertical pos tion, thuiabs interlocked and the head bent forward between the arms, so that it may be protected and the hands may enter the water first. Keep the knees and ankles stiff and the legs together while in the air. When you kick off be sure to spring up and out. Be careful not to come up watil the body has been submerged. If you come up teo soon, you might injure your back. If you “dive flat"—that is, if your chest or stomach enters the water before your hands and head—you may have the breath knocked out of you, After you have perfected your= self, by practice, in making the simple standing dive, there are many beautiful variations on it which you will like to try. Among these are the swan, the back, the front or back Jack-knife dives, which you can tratm yourself to do with grace and ease, Aside from ites value in teaghi you grace, diving Is the best fun swimming. The thrill of forcing yourself through the air by your own momentum is most exhilarating, ae fe the shock of entering clear, cook water. When a woman has developed and strengthened her arms by the crawl stroke, when she has rounded her chest and straightened her shoulders by the breast stroke, when she has taken the stiffness out of her back and neck by swimming and floating on her back, when she has tightened up the flabby muscles of walst and abdomen by the side stroke—as IT have told you to do, in my earlier articles—she is q truly beautiful and inspiring object as she stands with her symmetrical, well balanced body polxed on the edge of a pool of salt or fresh water, ready to cleave it im & purfect dive. The human figure speaks a unt- versal language. The lines and curves of a beautifully proportioned figure make as harmonious a composition as a symphony in music, and 90 you see a perfect body is an ideal worth striv- iny for. I have found the greatest happiness in my own case in striving for this ideal and succeeding in over- coming my handicaps, I want you to share this joy, and these water sports will help you to do it, T shall be glad to answer any questions about them from Evening World readers M Doscher will begin jes on weight reduce n and figure improvement.
