THIMBLE! Thi/ablei
By CONSTANCE CORNWALL
Diana Richmond and her brother
Tom were wards of Lawrence Tilton,
successful young lawyer. Tilton was
In love jwith Diana and expected at
some time to ask her to be his wife,
but her ambitious mother sent her
to England on a Tlsit, where site
marries Lord Banister. Tilton is
deeply disappointed, but plunges |
headlong into legal affairs and be
comes prosperous.
Lord Banister take* part !n the
World War and is killed in action.
Lady Diana comes home to her moth
er, secretly bringing with her the
Ee.rl of Hardcaster’s family Jewels,
which she believed to have been
given her by her husband. A Span
ish woman, who says she is the i
widow of the Earl of Hard caster,
lays claim to the gems and threat
ens Lady Banister with exposure.
Diana takes her troubles to Tilton,
her former guardian. Go on with the
story. i
CHAPTER ll—Continued
Thero was nothing mercenary in Mrs.
Richmond. She was merely putting into
words what a good many hardly realize.
She wanted to do the best possible for j
her daughter, and sbe was frankness
personified.
“Lurry, your liver Is out of order, or
you wouldn't have such 'uncharitable
thoughts.” she had said at that time, and i
the subject in future had been avoided. j
Larry had known that be didn’t come
under the particularly desirable class
mentioned by Mrs. Richmond. To be sure '
he had plenty of money, hut he bad
earned it himself, which is always a detri
ment in tho eves of people like Mrs.
Richmond. Her money bad been banded
down for generations, from she knew
not where—-and perhaps it was as well
she didn’t know, for the kindly woman
was the soul of propriety.
But would Larry come under the class
that Di’s mother wo>uld not exactly ap
prove of? He thought It was quite pos
sible. But how about Dl? If she loved
him what need he care about a long
engagement? Hadn't he waited for her
all these years? What was time to him?
In the meantime he watched for an op
pnrtnnify to speak to her.
Had D! become self-conscious of her
yonng ladyhood at 16, as so many girls
do, Larry's task would not have been so
difficult.’ But Di had never grown up. At
18 she had, as far as he knew, had no
love affairs nor flirtations: and she had
the same habit of throwing her arms
aronnd his neck and almost choking
him that she had when she was 5 years
old.
CHAPTER 111.
One day. when she was about 17, she
had come to him with a pair of scissors
in her hand and demanded a lock of his
hair. .Notwithstanding she cut off
enough to stuff a pillow. Larry submitted
cheerfxilly. In fact, he was so tickled the
might have scalped him If that had been
her design. Later to his Ineffable Joy
she showed him a few hairs which she
had worried into e heart-shaped locket
that he had given her for a valentine.
He felt somewhat crestfallen, however,
when she explained that all glrle wore
some one’s hair in their lockt and she
wanted to be like the rest. How could a
man be serious with such a child?
And then the day came when Mrs.
Richmond, sifting In the same chair
that Dl now occupied, told Larry that
her sister, who had married an English
man and was now living in England, had
invited Dl to spend a few months in
London Without the faintest idea of
the pain she was Inflicting she said:
"Mv sister will Introduce Dl Info good
society over there, and the child may
make as good a match as her aunt did.
I don’t mean to he a foolish woman,
Larry, but you have always been like a
father to Di. I'm snre if her own father
had lived he couldn't have done more
than you have. That's why I talk so
freely with you about her prospects In
England."
Lsrrv listened In undisguised aston
ishment. "Os course, vou’ll accompany
her?” he had said decidedly, fear and
dlmav overcoming hie usual calm.
Mrs. Richmond seeing no cause for
alarm, had merely looked at him in sur
prise.
“Ortainly not.” she replied. "I can’t
leave Tom. Ts he were old enough to
enter Yale this year I might consider
it. but as it is I couldn’t think of it.”
“Then Dl 1s to be turned loose In tb
London marriage market and raffled off
to the highest bidder,” Larry said bit
terly. “T should have thought that an
American husband wouldn't have been
any too good for her.”
Mrs. Richmond looked at him reproach
fully.
“Larry, you are always a wet blnnket,”
she complained. “I have always Intended
that Di should marry an American. Why i
do you say such things?”
“London isn’t Just the place to send
her to find an American husband,” Larry J
grunted.
“You are mistaken, Larry. All the
best Americans go over for the London
season,” Pi's mother declared. “All the
biggest matches are arranged In London.” !
“True," muttered Tilton, “and the con- \
sequent divorces take place In America.”
“I suppose as Dl's guardian you can
offer a lot of disagreeable objections.” j
she said pettishly.
Inwardly Larry was groaning with
pain, but aloud he said:
"By no moans. Mrs. Richmond. Di shall
go with my blessing, but I reserve my
judgment on the wisdom of the entei’- j
prise.”
And Di went to London, but not with- j
out throwing her arms around Larry’s j
neck, and smearing the shoulder of hia
coat with tears.
This nlmost made a wTeck of Larry,
but fortunately for mankind hope dies
hard in the human breast, and he com
forted himself with the thought that
“while there is life there is hope.”
Neither Dl nor her mother suspected h's
attachment to the young girl. There had
been many times In the days Just before
she sailed for England that he had been
sorely tempted to risk bis fate, but at
such times the better part of him pre
vailed. He wanted to win her, if he won
her at all, “for keeps," and he felt that
if she took her trip abroad unhampered
by any promise and came back to him
free, then he would win her once for all.
From the day when Mrs. Rlcnmond
had told him he had been like a father
to Dl, Larry had been haunted with the
fear that perhaps Di considered him in
the light of a parent or an elderly rel
ative, but that was before she had wept
on his shoulder.
After that lie had n inner conscious
ness of being something else to her.
Anyhow, it comforted him to think so,
and he thanked his heavenly Father for
the boon of hope.
He returned to his office, after seeing
the big liner carry Di away and worked
with renewed energy He became un
ceasing tn his efforts to mako a posi
tion and capital that would make him
worthy of DL
Six months la'er she was married to
Lord Banister.
And now, here she was, after five years
sitting before him, more beautiful than
he had dreamed possible, a widow, and
hanging over her the suspicion of a se
rious crime.
When Di looked tip from her handker
chief. where she had burled her face for
several minutes, she encountered Larry’s
gaze fixed tenderly upon her.
“I suppose we must get at this
wretched business,” she said, indicating
the pile of newspapers on hia desk. She
smiled faintly, but the color had gone
from her cheeks and the light from her
eyes. "You won't let them arrest me
until you hear from England, will you,
Larry?”
She paused a moment, then went oni
"It's all lies. Ilea, lies,” she said em
phatically.
For a moment Larry's face brightened,
but no one knew better than he how
difficult it is to prove that lies are lies.
The story flatly stated that Lady Banis
ter ►tu sailed from England with five
h’ • ired thousand dollars worth of Jewels
In her possession, the property of the
Earl of Hardcaster. The story went on
to say that the case had not been turned
over to Scotland Yard because the Earl
was very sure that the American woman
had them, and that his agents in New
York would act as soon as be gave them
Instructions.
“There Is to be no talk of arrest," Larry
said resolutely. “I'll raise heaven and
earth to see the thing through all right,
hut you must tell me everything, Dl
We know that you could never do any
thing contemptible, but yon know we
must give this denial as much publicity
as the Earl has given to the accusation.”
Dl set her features sternly.

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR.
By DAVID CORY.
“A little cock-sparrow sat on a green
tree.
And he chirruped, he chirruped, so
merry was he;
A naughty boy came with his we® bow
and arrow.
Determined to shoot this little cock
sparrew.”
So Puss Junior hid behind a tree to
sea what was going to happen. The
little boy cam® up as close as he dared.
He was afraid to get too near for fear
the sparrow would take fright and fly
away, you see. “Before t® shoots,” Puss
whispered to Tom Thumb, who was seat
ed upon his shoulder, “I'll warn the
little cock-sparrow.” But when the boy
had fitted an arrow to his bow, he
looked up and said:
"This little cock-sparrow shall make me
a stew.
And his giblets shall make me a little
pie, too.”
“Oh, no," said the sparrow. “I won’t
make a stew.
And he flapped his wings and away he
flew."
And then Puss Junior came out from 1
behind the tree and said to the naughty \
boy, "That was a fine stew you were
going to eat!"
But the small boy ran away. I guess
Fuss Junior looked Tory fierce in his
boots and spus. with his sword hanging
by hts side. And after that Puss walked
off down the rond. with Tc:n Thumb on
his shoulder, and by end by they came
to a corn field, where In and out among
the rows of com gleamed the big yellow
pumpkins, and right there tn the comer
of the old snake fence stood a funny
little man with a great big knife cutting
pumpkins.
“AVhat Is your price?" asked Pnss,
not that he cared to buy a pumpkin,
but Just to make conversation. And then
Tom Thumb began to laugh. •VCe’ll
buy the shell!" he cried. But the little
man replied. “No, you won't; for that's
the only part T want.” And In the next |
story you shall hear what happened
after that. —Copyright. 1!>22.

| TUESDAY.
The morning mall had brought a let
ter from the Bride and the family had
listened to it eagerly. Mrs. Hooper read
it to them at lunch time. The house
was near enough to school so that both
Helen and Roger could come home for
luncheon and Henry could aiso come
home for the midday meal if he to .x
car both ways.
“It win be cheaper for me to come
home," Henry had said, “than to have
$..00 a week from youx food bndget for
my lunches the way I used to do la
; Mayfield.”
j "Yes, but you may have to harry so
in order to get back to the office withia
the hour alloted for your meal, that it
may do you more harm than good and
not be so cheap in the end," Mr*. Hooper
had replied.
“I can make It easily if I ride,” Henry
had assured ner. And so it had been set
tled so that the whole family were to
gether at lunch time. A little heart®*
lunch was necessary when Henry had to
be provided for, but even with the car
fare deducted and the extra food that
was necessary Mrs. Hooper flt that she
was saving on the $2.50 a week allowance
that Henry had always had for lunch
at Mayfield.
M hen they had been served to the hash
and warmed-over macaroni that formed
the principal dish of the meal Mrs.
Hooper took the Bride's letter from the
S pocket of her house dress.
“She la the loveliest thing," said Mr*
Hooper enthusiastically. “She's written
me such a nice long letter and told me
ell the news and Insists that she miaac*
. me EQor* find more every day.”
"What doe® she say about the Sel
dens.’’ asked Hnery.
i “Well, she doesn't go Into much detail
i about them,” said Mrs. Hooper. “I wan
i a little disappointed about that She
says Mrs. Seldec seems very nice, but ahe
doesn’t go anywhere that the neighbor*
ever see her. She doesn’t go to church or
the club or downtown to shop or any
thing. She Just stays shut up In th
house for days, then dresses and goen
up to the city and cerer pays the -t'ght
est attention to Mayfield.”
i “I suppose the natives won’t like that,"
said Henry, “after how sociable you were
| with every one.”
“Sociable:” laughed Mrs Hooper.” Why
I wasn't sociable I had a terrible repu
tation for staying at home and never go
ing to people's houses as you very well
know."
"In spite of that, however,” Insisted
Henry, “the neighbors all felt very wel
come under our roof and you know very
well they enjoyed coming in for a cup of
tea in the afternoon whenever they felt
like it.”
“I was Just wondering.” piped up
Helen. ‘lf we were going to have tea
every afternoon here in Indianapolis."
“Certainly." answered Mrs. Hooper de
cidedly. “This very afternoon I shall
have all tbe tea things unpacked and
I when you and Roger come home from
school I shall be ready to have tea with
you.”
; “Well it seems kind of ailly here.” com
mented Helen with the courage of youth
j in her criticism of her mother’s idea. “No
1 one will ever come to tea, and any how
; we haven’t any teawagon or even a nice
I tea table. We might Just as well go
: right out In the kitAien and have our
tea."
j “Not at all, I am having a pretty
little second hand mahogany table sent
: home this morning that I picked up at
an old furniture shop yesterday and It
j will make a very pretty table right In
that corner near the fire place and we’H
Just begin our little famliy afternoon
tea as If nothing had happened to tho
| lovely tea wagon Roger made for my
j birthday.”
j “Never mind mother IH think tip some-
J thing else ft r the tea wagon.” said Roger
■ putting his arms around his mo the*.
| I'm Just full of ideas."
His mother laughed at this and then
! turning to Helen she said: “I want you
j to help me plan yoifr bedroom this after.
| noon."
“There's the thing I miss," wafted
; Helen, “and that’s my pretty bedroom
set that the bride painted for me.”

The interview of I>r. Adolf Lorens of
corsets, printed in the New York news
papers recently, was widely copied here
and caused much comment. The fashion
authorities, almost without exception,
agreed with the noted surgeon in his
statement that all women should wear
corsets to be neatly gowned. Comment
ing on it from ths health angle. Dr.
Pierre- Le Brun, a well known specialist
here, said:
“Dr. Lorens has spoken words of wis
dom. All women need a brace about ths
body—not one that distorts organs* but
one that helps make them comfortable.
A married man said to me today; ‘With
out her corset my wife is a crank—with
It she Is delightful and reasonable.’ He
is right. If a woman thinks she looks
trim, home for her husband will be a
much more pleasant place than of she
