(Continued from Page 7. ) an" with maddening deliberation. “Game and rubber,” she said. “Watch Dal, Max; he will cheat In the score If he can. Kit, don’t have another clam while I am In this house. I have eaten so many lately my waist rises and falls with the tide.” “You have a stunning color, Kit,” Lollie said. “You are really quite su perb. Who made that gown?” “Where have you been hiding, du kleine?” Max whispered, under cover of showing me the evening paper, with a photograph of the house and a cross at the cellar window where we had tried to escape. “If one day in the house with you, Kit, put me in this condition, what will a month do?” From beyond the curtain of a sort of alcove, lighted with a red-shaded lamp, came a hum of conversation, Bella’s cool, even tones and a heavy masculine voice. They were laugh ing; I could feel my chin go up. He was not even hiding his shame. “Max,” I asked, while the others clamored for him and the game, “has any one been up through the house since dinner? Any of ***e men?” He looked at me curiously. “Only Harbison,” he replied prompt ly. “Jim has been eating his heart out in the den ever since dinner; Dal played the “Sonata Apassionata” back ward on the pianola—he wanted to put through one of Anne’s lingerie waists, on a wager that it would play a tune; I played craps with Lollie, and Flannigan has been washing dishes. Why?” Well, that was conclusive, anyhow. I had had a faint hope that it might have been a Joke, although it had borne all the evidences of sincerity, certainly. But it was past doubting now; he had lain in wait for me at the landing, and had kissed me, me, when he thought I was Jimmy’s wife. Oh, I must have been very light, very contemptible, if that was what he thought of me! I went into the library and got a book, but it was impossible to read, with Jimmy lying on the couch giv ing vent to something between a sigh and a groan every few minutes. About II the cards stopped, and Bella said she would read palms. She began with Mr. Harbison, because she de clared he had a wonderful hand, full of possibilities: She said he should have been a great inventor or a play wright, and that his attitude to wom en was one of hom?.ge, respect, almost reverence. He had the courage to look at me, and if a glance could have killed he would have withered away. When Jimmy proffered his hand, she looked at it icily. Of course, she could not refuse, with Mr. Harbison looking on. “Rather negative,” she said coldly. “The lines are obscured by cushions of flesh; no heart line at all, mentali ty small, self-indulgence and irrita bility very marked.” Jim held his palm up to the light and stared at it. “Gad!” he said. “Hardly safe for me to go around without gloves, is it?” It was all well enough for Jim to laugh, but he was horribly hurt. He stocd around for a few minutes, talk ing to Anne, .but as soon as he could he slid away and went to bed. He looked very badly the next morning, as though he had not slept, and his clothes quite hung on him. He was actually thinner. But that is ahead of the story. Max came to me while the others were sitting around drinking night caps and asked me in a low tone if he could see me in the den: He wanted t© ask me something. Dal overheard. “Ask her here,” he said. “We all know what it is, Max. Go ahead and we’ll coach you.” “Will you eoach me?” I asked, for Mr. Harbison was listening. “The woman does not need it,” Dal retorted. And then, because Max looked angry enough really to pro pose to me right there, I got up hasti ly and went into the den. Max fol lowed, and closing the door, stood with his back against it. “Contrary to the general belief, Kit,” he began, “I did not intend to ask you to marry me.” I breathed easier. He took a couple of steps toward me and stood with his arms folded, looking down at me. “I’m not at all sure, in fact, that I shall ever propose to you,” he went on unpleasantly. “You have already done it twice. You are not going to take those back, are you, Max?” I asked, looking up at him. But Max was not to be cajoled. He came close and stood with his hand on the back of my chair. “What hap pened on the roof tonight?” he de manded hoarsely. “I do not think it would interest you,” I retorted, coloring in spite of myself. “Not interest me! lam shut in this blasted house; I have to see the only woman I ever toved —really loved.” he supplemented, as he caught my eye, “pretend she is another man’s wife. Then I sit back and watch her using every art —all her beauty—to make still another man love her, a man who thinks she is a married woman. If Harbison were worth the trouble, I would tell him the whole story, Aunt Selina be —obliterated! ” I sat up suddenly. “If Harbison were worth the trou ble!” I repeated. What did he mean? Had he seen— “l mean just this,” Max said slowly. “There is only one unaccredited mem ber of this household: Only one per son, save Fiannigan. who was locked £afl|i -'ALA Say That We Are a Lot of Barbarians. in the furnace room, one person who was awake and around the house when Anne’s jewels went, only one person in the hou3e, also, who would have any motive for the theft.” “Motive?” I asked dully. “Poverty,” Max threw at me. “Oh, I mean comparative poverty, of course. Who is this fellow, anyhow? Dal knew him at school, traveled with him through India. On the strength of that he brings him here, quarters him with decent people, and wonders when they are systematically robbed!” “You are unjust!” I said, rising and facing him. “I do not like Mr. Harbi son—l—l hate him, if you want to know. But as to his being a thief, I —think it quite as likely that you took the .necklace.” Max threw his cigarette into tho fire angrily. “So that is how it is!” he mocked. “If either of us is the thief, it is II You do hate him, don’t you?” I left him there, flushed with irrita tion, and joined the others. Just as I entered the room, Betty burst through the hall door like a cyclone, and col lapsed into a chair. “She’s a mean, cantankerous old woman!” she de clared, feeling for her handkerchief. “You can take care of your own Aunt Selina, Jim Wilson. I will never go near her again.” “What did you do? Poison her?’* Dallas asked with interest. ■*‘G —got camphor in her eyes,” snuff ed Betty. “You never—heard such a noise. I wouldn’t be a trained nurse for anything in the world. She—she oalled me a hussy!” “You’re not going to give her up, are you, Betty?” Jim asked imploring ly. But Betty was, and said so plain ly. “Anyhow, she won’t have me back,** she finished, “and she has sent for—- guess!” “Have mercy!” Dal cried, dropping to his knees. “Oh, fair ministering angel, she has not sent for me!” “No,” Betty said maliciously. “Sh« wants Bella—she’s crazy about her."

Bennett. Earthquake-Proof Construction. A new method of fire-proof con struction for small buildings has been invented in response to the growing demand. Steel tubing filled with con crete is used for the frame, and a net work of wire for the basis of walls, floors and roof. On this skeleton a concrete house of such strength can be built that, it is claimed, it will be practically earthquake-proof. Six-inch pipe, steel wire and expanded metal, malleable iron fittings and cement are the materials used. The wires are strung to a tension of 1,000 pounds, and bind the whole together with enormous solidity. On them the con crete is spread three inches thick in spans not exceeding 16 feet. Construc tion is so simple that unskilled labor can be largely used. For LaGnppe Coughs and Stuffy Colds. Taken Foley’s Honsy and Tar. It gives quick relief and expels the cold from your system.

A letter just received at Portland recounts how a marine on his majes ty’s ship New Zealand while fishing over the side of the vessel in Whiddy bay, near Bantry, hooked an enormous skate. It was so heavy that six sail ors were required to haul it onto the ship’s deck. When at length aboard the vessel it was found to scale 137 pounds and to measure six feet from the nose to the tail and four feet six Inches across the back. Its mouth was sufficiently capacious to take a large sized football. Try Heiald Job Printing. Competition That Counted.
