CHAPTER XVII.
Parting of the Wave.
TThe
HE two weeks which followed
the Bivens ball were the
happiest Harriet Woodman
had known since Nan's
shadow had fallen across her life.
Every moment was crowded with the
work of preparing for her trip, except
the hours she could not refuse Stuart,
who had suddenly waked to the fact
that something beautiful was going
out of bis life.
Harriet watched him with keen Joy
and deep in her heart a secret hope
began to grow slowly.
The day she sailed he refused to go
with her to the pier
"Why, Jim. you must come with
me!" she protested.
"No, I can't, little pal. Goodby."
He watched the cab roll down Fourth
street toward the pier while a great
wave of loneliness overwhelmed him
At night the doctor was not at home
Stuart rapped on his door next morn
lng and got no answer The girl said
he had spent the uight out—she didn't
know where.
As Stuart was about to leave for his
office the doctor entered. His bloodshot
eyes weie sunken deep behind his
brows, his face haggard and his
shoulders drooped Stuart knew he
had tramped the streets all night in a
stupor of hopeless misery.
Stuart tooL his outstretched hand
and led him into the library "1
know why you tramped the streets the
old house is very lonely."
"I never knew what loneliness meant
befoie!" The big hand fell in a
gesture of despair.
Stuart pressed his hand
"I understand I'm younger than you
doctor, but I. too, have walked that
way alone You're all in you must go
to bed and sleep."
When Stuart returned early from his
work In the aftetnoon he found a
group of forlorn women and children
standing beside the stoop A pale, elf
ish looking boy of ten, whose face ap
peared to be n\ years older, sat on the
lower step crying
"What's the matter, kiddie?" he ask
ed kindly
"I wants de doctor—me mudder's
sick She'll croak before mornin' ef he
don't come—dey all wants him" He
waved his dirty little hand toward the
others "He ain't come around no more
for a week The goil says we can't see
him—he's asleep
"I'll tell him vou're here. The doc
tor's been 11
1 himself"
He urged the dot tor to go at one to
Bee his patients The work he loved
would restoie his spints He was dum
founded at the ansvvei he received
"No, no! I'm in no mood to work I
couldn't help them I'd poison and kill
them all, feeling as I do today. A phy
sician can't heal the sick unless there's
healing in bis own soul I'd bring
death, not life, into their homes Tell
them to go away!"
Stuart emptied his pockets of all the
money he had in a desperate effort to
break their disappointment
"The doctor's too ill to see you now,"
he explained "He sent this money for
you and hopes it will help you over the
worst until be can come"
He divided the money among them
and they looked at it with dull disap
fiojtntment Ihey. wexe jjad to get, jt,
IRifwfiliT^theTTreed^a^rilore" tfiai? mon
ey was the hope and strength of their
friend's presence.
"Doctor." Stuart began gently. "I've
known you for about fifteen years
You're the only fathei V\e had in this
big town, and you've been a good one
You've been acting strangely for the
past two weeks. You're in trouble."
"The greatest trouble that can come
to any human soul," was the bitter an
swer. "But," he paused, and his eyes
stared at the ceiling as he groaned.
"I've got to bear it What's the use to
whine?"
Stuart stepped close and slipped bis
arm about the stalwart figure. His
voice was tender.
"Come, doctor you're not fooling me
I've known you too long. There's only
one man on earth for whom I'd do as
much as I would for you—my own
gray haired father down south Come
now, tell me what's the trouble?"
Stuart could feel the big form sway
and tremble under the stress of over
id a
whelming emotion, and his arm pressed
a little closer And then the tenbion
suddenly broke
The doctor sank into a chair and
looked up with a helpless stare
"Yes, Jim, I will I'll—tell—yon"
And he ielated his experiences in the
Bivens mansion, ending with
"1—stole—a—case—of—jewels!"
Stuart sprang to his feet, with an ex
clamation ot boiror.
"You—did—what!"
"Yes," the doctor went on hoarsely.
"I stole a case of his jewels and sent
my girl abroad I'm going to plead
guilty now and go to prison. I shall
never again lift my head in the haunts
of men."
Stuart sobbed in anguish.
"You see, boy, I failed when put to
the test It doesn't make any differ
ence about my reputation Character
only counts, and I'm a thief."
"Shut up!" Stuart cried fiercely, seiz
ing his arm. "Don't say that again
and don't talk so loudly Whatever
you did you were insane when you did
It"
"Maybe it was a mistake. I don't
know. I couldn't think then. I only
know now that life is impossible any
more, and I'm ready to go You can
send me to prison at once, Jim I'm
glad you are the district attorney
"But I'm not I resigned my office
this morning to go into business for
myself 1 had only another month to
serve You're not going to prison if 1
can help it"
"But I don't want you to help It
It's the only place to go now—you see.
boy, I can't live with myself any more'
Besides I'm old and played out the
world don't need me any longer."
"Well, I need jou," Stuart broke in
"and you're not going to give up this
fight as long as I'm here."
"I'm a failure It's no use."
"But you've forgotten some things,"
the younger man said tenderly
"lou've helped to make my life what
it Is—you haven't tailed in that You
gave your blood to your country when
she needed it—you didn't fail in t&at
You have forgotten the thousands you
have helped, the hope and cheer and
inspiration that passed into their lives
through yours We'll go to Bivens
house tonight We'll tell him the truth
We'll return the value ot his Jewels
I'll get the money to make good what
you owe him"— His voice broke. "Oh
why, why, why didn't you let me
know? I've Influence wttb Bivens. He
will drop the matter and O one on
earth will know save we three."
"But you don't understand, Jim," the
broken man protested, feebly. "I tell
you I've given up I can't take your
money, I can't pay. I tell you I've
given up. I can't take your money. I
can't pay it back
"You can pav it back. too. if you like
Hariiet will be earning thousands of
dollars In a few years Her success is
sure
A faint smile lighted the father's
face.
"Her success is sure. Isn't It?" he
asked with the eagerness of a child
And then the smile slowly faded.
"But I shall not be here to see it"
"Yes, you will. I'm running your af
fairs now, and you've got to do what
I say. Get ready We are going to see
Bivens."
Bivens refused point blank at first
to see Woodman and ordered bis serv
ant to put him out of the house at.d
ask Stuart to remain for a conference.
Stuart drew from his case a card
and wrote a message to Nan:
Imperative that 1 see Cal at once in the
presence of my friend on a matter ot
grave importance Please send him down
He is stubborn
Biveus came in a few minutes shook
hands cordially with Stuart and Ig
hoied Woodman
"1 want to see yon alone with the
doctor," the young lawyer began,
"where we cannot possibly be over
heard
"I have nothing to say to this man.
but for your sake all right Come up
to the libiary."
Once iu the room and the door clos
ed the doctor sank listlessly into a

Dumplings
For Soup*,Stews and Fricasseed Cfeickea
Left overs of roast lamb, veal or beef,
the cheaper cuts of fresh meats, and fowls
too old for roasting, make delicious and
nourishing stews. Dumplings make
them doubly attractive and the whole dish
is most economical—an object to most
families while meats are so high and must
be made to go as far as possible.
Dumplings
By Mrs. Nevada Briggs, the well known
baking expert.
2 cups flour S level teaspoonfuls
Baking Powder tea&poonful ealt I
cup shortening milk or cream.
Sift together three times, the
flour, baking powder and salt
into this work the shortening
and use cream or milk to
make a dough less stiff than for
biscuits.
Allow the stew to boil down so that the
liquid does not cover the meat or chicken.
Add half a cup of cold water to stop its boil
ing and drop the dough in large spoonfuls on
top of the meat or chicken. Cover and let
boil again for 1$ minutes.
Made with Baking Powder and
steamed in this way, dumplings are as light
as biscuits and are delicious with thickened
gravy.

THOUSANDS GREET GOV,
Inaugural Reception in O*
Greatest Representative Gathering
Since Days of Merriam.
St. Paul.—AH Minnesota paid honoi
to Governor Eberhart Thursday night,
when the first inaugural reception giv
'en in twenty years was held at the
Capitol. The reception brought out a
[gathering that has not been equaled
jin representative citizenship of the
istate, since Governor Merriam, yean
ago, was feted in the old Capitol.
cepting the reception to the western
governors a year ago, the inaugural
was the first affair of its kind in the
new state house.
There were «,500 present at the re
ception, it was estimated by Cal E.
Stone, chairman of the Association ol
Commerce committee in charge. Prac
tically all of the thousands present
passed by the receiving line to con
gratulate the Governor and Mrs. Eber
hart—to acknowledge formally the re
election of the state's chief executive.
And while the thousands passed by
the receiving line, to pass out and
scatter over the Capitol, hundreds
looked on the brilliant scene from the
ibalcony of the rotunda.
The reception lasted for two hours.
At 8:40 o'clock the Governor, with
Mrs. Eberhart's arm in his, emerged
from the Governor's suite of offices,
followed by the receiving line. The
line moved to the west entrance to
the rotunda, and stood motionless as
the band struck up the "Star-Spangled
Banner." The receiving line spread
out and the review began.
