With a sudden tightening of the
lips, Barbara Holton lifted her head
r. little higher, drew in her breath
with what would have been a long,
slow sob had it been audible, then
turned and inclined her head slightly
in the direction of the speaker be
hind her.
In a half-dazed fashion she reached
out one hand and clutched the edge of
the seat.
"He's a thoroughly delightful man,
you know," the clear, well-bred voice
behind her was saying. "Really,
Judge Dean is most favorably im
pressed. The Board of Trustees have
unanimously voted him the position.
But he won't enjoy it. It s one of
those impossible, unreconcilable tricks
of fate. He has grown, but his wife
has stood still. There is no congeni
ality there."
"How do you know."
"Mrs. Dwi'nell told me. She enter
tained them." The speaker laughed,
ami a little contemptuous sound came
to her voice. "Why a man like that
want.; to marry such a woman is quite
beyond me. He took me in to dinner
at Mrs. Moulton's last evening. He's
big really big stature, talk,
thoughts. Miles above the ordinary
man. She never says a word, just
crawls into a corner and looks out
with frightened, wondering eyes.
She's pli'in, a little gray, forty, if
she's a day. and makes no attempt to
disguise it. She can't dress. Mrs.
Dwinell said it was a positive re
lief when she decided not to go to the
reception. He can't help being hor
ribly ashamed of her. It seems to
me. if I were the wife of a man like
Dr. Holton, I would at least attempt
to keep up with the advancement of
my husband."
Mechanically, Barbara Holton
glanced at the station clock. There
were ten minutes before her train was
due. Her face was ashen. Her eyes
held the look of one who. knowing
sentence of death has been passed,
faces the executioner.
So that was the woman John had
taken in to dinner the woman he had
described as "remarkably brilliant."
The word fitted her to perfection
the quick vivacity of her tone, the

shine of her hair, her glowing cheeks,
sparkling eyes, every detail of her
shimmering gown.
With an ache at her heart she
glanced down at her own quiet, unas
suming suit of blue, and, reaching
dully for her bag, started for the
door. On the way she stumbled, and
wondered vaguely why her feet were
so heavy then, a moment later,
blundered against a man, and in a
dazed way reached up one hand and
brushed her eyes as though something
obscured her vision. The only thing
that seemed quite clear was that she
was glad John had gone on ahead,
I leaving her to shop a bit in the city
; stores. She wanted to be alone,
j Pausing at the first empty seat, she
sat down, looking straight ahead with
eyes that saw nothing. Her heart
beat draggingly. The muscles of her
mouth were tense. Her ungloved
hands lay motionless upon her lap.
Advancement! For fifteen years it
had been the keynote of their lives.
She recalled every detail of their
first home-coming. She remembered
how he had stood aside to let her pass
as they paused at the door of his den
then, with his deep, positive laugh,
strode to his desk and, taking up a
pad. scrawled in big, firm characters,
the single word, Advancement.
"That's what life's for, honey," he
declared. "Will you join me in the
pact?"
He held out his hand, as to another
man, and she placed both her own
within it, and whispered, "Even unto
the end."
The next day she had carried the
sheet to town and had it framed in
solid oak, and during all the years
I that had passed since then she had
I thought of it as a vow. But it had
always been he. She had forgotten
j herself. She remembered that to
I day, for the first time,
i When the train drew in at the sta
tion she arose, and with the dazed
look still in her eyes, hurried from
the car and put her hand into that
of a large, rather splendid-looking
man who sat waiting in a big auto
' mobile before the station.
His lips, which had opened as
though to speak, closed after a single

into the car in silence and they shot
forward into the straight, white road
stretching before them.
"Pretty tired?" he asked, casually,
tfter a time.
"ATo," she deliberated, as though
weighing each word, "I don't think
I'm tired."
"Well?" His voice was quiet.
John Holton's voice always was
quiet and big, and slow. John Hol
ton, himself, was quiet and big, and
slow. Until one really felt the grip
of the keen, gray eyes, and saw the
line of the iron mouth when he was
bating for some great stake, a? a
life, they always wondered how it
was that John Holton reached so high
up into big things and so far down
into small ones.
She shook her head.
Grave'y the keen eyes studied her
face. Then his fingers closed a lit
tle closer about thi rim of the wheel.
"Want to take a run up to Old Glo
ry?" he asked, carelessly, and then
without waiting for an answer, turn
ed into a narrow, hilly path.
Up and up the car clambered over
an almost 'impassable road throb
bing almost stopping until at last
it came to a stand and they found
themselves looking downward over the
valley below outward, at towering
mountains on either side
She caught her breath.
Here, on the heights, one fact
stood clear. It made no difference
whether the path led up, or down;
her plighted word was Advancement,
even unto the end.
Reaching out, she laid her hand on
his knee.
He smiled. "Got back?" he quiz
zed. "Back?"

H.
ed toward him, pressing her cheek
softly against him.
"Now," he declared, gruffly, "it's
streams of molten fire, with soft lit
tle waterfalls dancing all about. How
did God make you, anyhow!" Turn
ing the car, he started back the way
they had come.
Not a word was spoken until he
swung into the home yard and
brought the big car slowly to a
stand. Then, springing out, he gave
her his hand with smiling courtesy.
"Hillard'o here," he whispered, "but
for heaven's sake get a glass of wine
and lie down for a second, even if
supper is late."
"Oh!" she cried, and ran before him
to the house.
She threw off her dress with hands
which W3re like ice, slipped into a
soft gray that floated about her like
a cloud, pulled a couple of roces from
a vase, tucking one at her breast
and the other in her hair. Then, for
just a second, she paused before her
glass.
The slender figure the big, serious
eyes the face, with its tiny network
cf lines about the eyes could lay no
claim to beauty. There was no bril
liancy there. A sob strangled under
her breath, but with steady will she
drove it back. "Your word, Barbara
Holton," she whispered, chokingly,
"was 'advancement even unto the
end.' " Then, a little cruieter and pa
ler than usual, she went down as the
supper bell sounded, and almost be
fore she knew it, found herself look
ing into the lean, shrewd face and
critical eyes of her brother Hilliard.
His eyes looked her up and down.
"Seedy," he commented, laconically-
"I've been shopping," she explained.
Dr. Holton shrugged. "Why is it,"
ho frowned, "a woman must shop as
soon as a store comes in sight, wheth
er it is necessary or not? . I left Bab
this morning looking as fresh as a
rose. She came home tonight look
ing like"
With a laughing cry she interrupt
ed. "John. John!" she begged, "spare
me! Hilliard has eves!"
Wh-r-r-r!
The insistent call of the electric
bell pealed through the house, and
Holton glanced through the house,
and Holton glanced at the clock. "The
deuce!" he said, and arose. "I'll
take my dessert this way," he added,
pulling cut a cigar. "That's Lee, for
a consultation. I didn't realize it was
so late."
As the door closed after him, Keith
took a long, slow sip of wine. "Great
chance, this New York opening," he
said. "John's in luck.
She nodded. "It's more than luck,"
she replied; then, leaning forward,
"Hilliard," she cried, impulsively,
"why did you never marry?"
, His eyes narrowed. "The woman I
wanted wouldn't have me," he drawl
ed, carelessly, taking a big. black ci
gar, jind looking at it thoughtfully.
"Are you sorrv or glad?"
"Glad," he replied. "Mighty glad.
I'm a beast. She got a good r.ian."
"I didn't mean that way," she re
turned, slowly. "I meant men out
live such things, do they not? Love
isn't to a man what it is to a woman.
I wonder if all men do? A woman
oh " She floundered helnlessly;
then, with a little laugh, reached out
s"d touched his nrm. "Look at me,
Hilliard." she cried. "I've been hear
in? truths today. Horrid truths! I'm
old-fashioned a shame to my hus
band. I can't talk. I can't mix.
And it's pitifully true. Hilliard,
John's got to mix if he goes to New
York. It's a big university. There's
a gvpat social side. He can't stand
hick. ITis -wife's got to mix. He
can. It's id him. She can't. What's
the solution?"
"The devil!" Keith growled. Then
"I sny. Bab"
She interrupted. "No," she declar
ed. "I'm not being disloyal for that's
what you were about to say. I would
e if there were any iar between us.
Rut in that case I'd not be talkng to
you. I'd be talking to him." She
threw up her head. "I've got to get
solid ground under my feet," she
cried. "Hilliard, imagine me the
head of a big dinner party!"
"God forbid!" he shrugged.
The corners of her mouth twitched.
"John couldn't help being ashamed of
me," she choked. "It would be fiend
ish." "It certainly would," said Keith,
emphatically. "But my dear Bab, let
me assure you "
Dr. Holton threw back the door and
re-entered the room. "Dame Fortune
is kind now and then," he beamed.
"Lee can't go tonight. No, no," as
Barbara sprang up, "I don't want
dessert." Then "What were you
people talkng about so earnestly?"
"You." Keith scowled, as Barbara,
with a murmured excuse, left them to
their cigars. "Bob always manages
to get a start."
When she heard! Keith go to his
room, hours later, she came down and
followed her husband to his den.
Seating herself, she reached her
hands to the tiny blaze smouldering
in the grate. Then she leaned back
and her eyes met his. "Take it one
way, or another," she said, slowly,
"life is mixed, just mixed."
"It isn't life." he commented, terse
ly. "It's people."
She shook her head. "I was talk
in with Kitty Jones, Sunday," she
continued, "and I've been thinking
about her to-night. She loves him,
spite of all. She says she can never
face life again."
"It's a pity," he replied, lighting a
cigar and puffing meditatively at it,
"that she couldn't look at it another
way. A man who deliberately takes
a woman's life in the hollow of his
hand, holds it there a bit and tosses
it aside, is not worth one tear one
heartache." ,
"Still perhaps he's just outgrown
her."
"Such things are," a biting con
tempt sounding in his voice, "but the
man who shows them is a cur. Let's
forget Kitty Jones, though. What's
the problem Barbara Holton has to
solve?"
Crossing to the window, she pulled
aside the curtains and stood looking
out into the night. A hard tight
ness gripped her throat, then traveled
downward until it clutched her heart.
She flung out her arms with a ges
ture of intense, pent-up energy, a
dumb despair widening and deepening
in her eyes, her lips compressed into
a bloodless line, the silken draperies
hiding her from sight. Then she
stepped back into the light.
"I'm not going to New York, John,"
she remarked, quietly, but there was
a little hoarseness in her voice. Me
chanically she turned her eyes to the
oaken frame above his head, inclosing
the magic word in its short, terse
strength.
"Not going!" incredulously. Then
"Oh, well, we've not gone too far
to stop. I don't mind."
She took a step forward. "You'll
go, of course," she declared. "I'll
stay here and keep the home. It's
a big chance, John. It means ad
vancement for you wonderful ad
vancement. But for me" two spots
like flame lighted in her cheeks hr
w-.-rds ti rnb ed out, hot ana passion
ate, her hint's clasped and unclasoeci
"I'm behi.'.d. I haven't kept up.
1 don't know how to talk to dn---
to be social in that kind of life. I'd
hurt you there, John. It's a big
place. You're a big man and I'm
just a plain, uninteresting nobody
who can't mix, who never could, and
who never will. I'll stay here, dear,
with the same love I've always given.
You will know I'm always here.
You can come as you will, but you'll
not be burdened and held back."
John Holton waited until her voice
ceased. Then, hands in pockets, he
stood before her. He seemed some
how even bigger, quieter and slower
than usual.
"Say," he mused, thoughtfully, and
though the slow bigness of his voice
was unchanged, the pupils of his eyes
were contracted as before a flash of
blinding light, "do you remember that
first year or two when I was down
and out ready to give up? Who
pushed me on? Remember the time
we stood before Boy Tom's grave?
Who held me up when her own heart
was breaking? Who was it" his
voice dropped low, his big hands
gripped until the knuckles shone
white from the pressure "when I
told her I had wrongfully spent a
thousand dollars from a trust, worked
even at embroidery, going without the
common necessaries of life, until the
last cent was paid, and never once,
either by word or glance, reproached
me? Who was it, when my temper
raged, taught me to bank the fires
and, in a word, showed me God?
Mix? WTiat do I care whether you
mix or don't mix? If you want to
go to New York, we'll go. If you
want to stay here, we'll" stay. Ad
vancement? God bless your soul,
dear heart, you are Advancement!"
With a grim laugh and a flrsh of
the gray eyes a tightening of the
iron mouth as when, against almost
insurmountable odds, he world move
heaven and earth to win he reached
cut his arms to her.
"Comrade," he said, "I Jove vou!"
Danger Signal.
If the fire bell should ring you run
and stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? It is much the same way
with a cough. A cough is a danger
signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that
causes the coughing. This can nearly
always be done by taking Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Many have
used it with the most beneficial re
sults. It is especially valuable for
the persistent coujrh that so often
follows a bad cold or ?n attack of the
grin. Mrs. Thomas Beerhing. An
drews. Ind., writes: "During the win
ter my 'lusband takes cold easilv and
coughs and couehs. Chnmborbin's
Con-rh Remedy is the best medicine
for breaking un these attacks and vou
cannot pet him to take any other."
