AFTER I had put in the tele
phone call for Ralph Lacy
I leaned back in my office
chair and tried to collect my
Whirling thoughts.
I tried to be dispassionate in
reviewing the way Jim and I had
sought for some basis of under
standing and had failed to find it.
At the moment when we were
- farthest apart Jim raced out of
my office to keep a luncheon ap
pointment. He hadn’t given me
the slightest idea with whom he
Was lunching, and I found myself
too indifferent to conjecture.
A moment later Ralph’s voice
came to me over the wire
strong, confident and with de
pendability in every note of its
warm friendliness. Ralph’s first
words showed how eager he is
to serve.
“Shall I run over to your
office, Anne, instead of talking
to you across these prices? I
can be there in a jiffy.”
"I was calling to ask you to
do just that,” I answered.
Dimly as I sat there waiting
for Ralph I realized all that
Ralph’s friendship means and
how much more his devotion will
mean some- day—to a woman who
has the right to it. And with
* miserable feeling that I am
Weak and fettered by a thing
that isn’t worthy' of me and that

matter to me. Facing the fact
that I can’t Inspire Jim’s devo
tion, I wondered if my life must
always be empty of what a
woman most craves —the loyal
love of her own man.
"I’ve the empty shell of a
heart,” I told myself. “It’s no
good to me. It would be a poor
gift to anyone else.”
Then with steady eyes I sat
and waited for Ralph. And when
he walked into my office a few
minutes .later I got a feeling of
new strength. But I didn’t feel
sure how I wa's going to use it.
“You wanted me to come,” be
gan Ralph eagerly.
“Yes,” I agreed simply.
“I’m here. I always will be
when you call,” he said even more
simply.
“I know that,” I smiled. “It’s
a great comfort.”
But I hardly knew how to go
on. Then, with sudden passion, I
asked:
“Ralph, Bartley Thompkins
thinks Neal was done away with.
Do you think he met with foul
play?”
“I think he had a raw deal if
you call that foul play,” Ralph
answered.
"But—murdered?” I managed to
ask. "Certainly not that.”
Ralph's voice was clear and de
termined. But I could see that he
was weighing the matter and not
insulting me by flinging at me
the crumbs of a careless snap
judgment.
"Jim says it was obvious from
the time we got the anonymous
letter?” I insisted, longing to have
Ralph’s convictions strong enough
expressed to carry conviction to

my heart. “He says that what
Evvy overheard made it still more
evident —and that the pile of
clothes was final proof.”
Ralph hesitated. Then with
grave delicacy he said:
“I wouldn’t question Jim’s judg»
ment' ordinarily. But he hasn’t
been inpide this case the way you
and I have. He doesn’t know
how many false clues were
planted—deliberately to draw us
on and to rouse hopes that were
dashed just when things looked
brightest. The whole thing has
been a series of plants, Anne.
And we’ve comi to the biggest of
them all. There’s too much coin
cidence. Neal’s enemies think
they’ve staged the grand coupe.
And I'm dead sure it must be be
cause we came so close that they
pulled their red herring across
the trail.”
“You really think that?” I
asked.
“I do. I tell you the whole
It’s like a case where all the wit
thing is too full of coincidence,
nesses testify to Just the same
things. That means careful coach
ing. Folks dbn’t see from the
same angle. No two individuals
could describe a runaway honest
ly and tell it picture for picture
alike.
“Neal’s enemies never wanted
us to have the truth before. Now
they want us to think of him
’dead.”
“I wish I could see as you do,”
I gasped.
“At least you can’t think they
were fools enough to commit mur
der and then hand us all the
evidence against themselves?”
asked Ralph.
I faced his steady eyes and
earnest manner. And I asked
breathlessly:
“Aren’t you saying what you
want to believe—what you want
me to believe —for my own hap
piness and peace of mind?”
“I’d do about anything to make
you happy,” Ralph cried, leaning
toward me and smiling with the
sweet boyishness that is so remi
niscent of Neal himself. "I’d do
anything, I believe, except lie to
you. So if I thought Neal were
gone, I wouldn't torture you with
false hope. All I have to offer
you is my way of thinking. Rut
I wouldn’t try to win you over
to it —if I weren’t convinced that
my guess is mighty near the
truth.”
"No—you wouldn’t,” I said
slowly. “But Jim ”
I stopped in sudden terror.
Ralph finished my sentence for
me, but not as I had intended
finishing it.
“Jim tells the truth as he sees
it,” Ralph reminded me. “That's
what you must remember when
you measure Jim and me.”

FOX YGRANDPA’S STORY
HE RESCUES TWO PUPPIES IN CEYLON
the cutest little
I puppies I’ve ever seen,”
A. said Bobby, enthusias
tically, as he pulled me by the
hand to get me started out to see
the new babies my friend’s dog
had just had.
We were visiting a tea grower
in Ceylon. He had brought out
an English bulldog with him from
London. She was a fine dog.
She had a long pedigree and had
very aristocratic ancestors. So
when she had Uiese babies my
friend was delighted and took
the greatest care of the new ar
rivals.
“They are beauties,” said I, as I
watched the proud mother lick.ng
her babies and grunting to them
contentedly.
Now this tea plantation was
far out in the country, and it was
no uncommon thing to hear the
Jackals howling at night. They
reminded me of the cpyotes I had
heard in the American West.
“What do jackals eat?" I asked
my friend.
“Anything they can lay their
four paws on,” he replied.
“They’re really not bad animals if
you catch them when they re
young. They are truly dogs—they
belong to the family of hunting
dogs. And there’s a strange
thing about them. If they are
caught and tamed, they make
very good pets, and the most ex
traordinary thtig is that they
don’t have the unpleasant odor
raised in captivity that they pos
sess when they run wild.”
“That is strange,” I pondered.
We had a delightful visit with
my friend and nothing gave Bob
by more pleasure than watching
the puppies as they grew' week by
week and started to roll around
and play with each other.
Os course, while we were there
4- we made many expeditions and
took some fine animal pictures,
for Ceylon has many strange and
interesting creatures of every
sort.
One day while we were coming
home from such a trip we were
hurrying along, for it was almost
dark. Suddenly in the way just
ahead of us, two balls of fire
shone out In the semi-darkness.
"What’s that?" asked Bunny,
jumping up in my pocket.
"Don’t know,” said I, "Some
thing pretty big.”
"I crept up slowly and hid be
hind a tree. Bobby was trembl
ing at my side.
“It's all right, Bobby. Don’t
be frightened," I whispered.
“It’s got something *in it’s
mouth," whispered Bobby.
Just then as the animal came
nearer I heard the plaintive cry
ing of some baby animals. It
sounded just like the cries which
the baby bulldogs made.
.."It’s babies," I said.
Bunny peeked out of my pocket
at that moment and said:
"It’s a miserable jackal and it
has some babies—but not its
own—the thief!"
I knew that a jackall is a cow
ard, so I didn’t bother about a
gun, but I just made a noise like
some silly people do to frighten
away cats.
Zip—like a flash—the jackal
ran away,, but before he started
he, dropped what he had been
carrying in his mouth. We
rushed over as soon as he had
fled, and what do you think we
.fbund there on the ground? Two
of the bulldog puppies!
"What do you think of that?"
I shouted. "That wretch had
stolen two of our pups.”*
We took the babies home and
what a reunion that mother and
her babies had! .
She licked them so hard that I
thought she would take their soft
fur off. And how they tumbled
all over her gnd barked for joy!
"I told you how they were the
worst sneaks in the world," said
my friend. ."I'll wager that
jackal stole the pups while their
mother was asleep."

That viscous coat you feel on
teeth is film. Under old methods,
much of it clings and stays. It be

coats. That is how teeth lose their
beauty.

He told me that no intelligent
person need be lonely. "Now let

You can look out while I am out
for my walk. Just a half hour."
At the opposite window, across
the court, a tall man sat at a
drawing board. Jeanne watched
the swift strokes of his strong
supple hands. Occasionally, to
rest his hands and eyes, he
glanced across the court. Jeanne
