Laurie looked Mier with shining eyes. One of her : Mid changes of mood had taken nice, and she was entering into tho jurit of the impromptu supper as ■awfully as if it were a new game fcd .he a child. She had become a ■ldly different personality from tha nfc-eyed girl who less than ten mln■hi ago had somberly announced ■At the was making her last stand la ! Bfk, Again, as often before.

And at the last iMneiit.' he added gloomily, "yob I nay tell me that there isn't a lemon bi ths place." He looked about with [th* hopelessness of a great artist sac big the failure of his chef d'oeuvrq *1 forgot the lemons." Sb* went across the room to a ’mail closet. Even in the strain of » movement he observed the exIr surdlnary grace and swiftness of her “Ovwnents. She was very slender, '*•7 lithe, and she moved like a flash of light. Fancy my being caught without a emou !” she scoffed, as she returned *>tb the fruit "Your brain-work 8 ops abruptly sometimes, doesn't it?” ■ he handed Him the lemons with a 8 gesture expressing amusement, “®Ph and a dash of coquetry.

This hour at least was hers “ ni “is. It should be prolonged to the ut moment. . * lat lle lon 8 e <l for was to hear her ■ but, that way, he knew, lay dfsor to the little supper In swiftt'umlng memory. If she began to 1 the forbidden topic, now dor*ct ' w °uld uncoil Its hideous length, hiss. H e must hold her attention '" other things. He plunged at random Into chatter, tut firsX. time ho told hey, about

Bangs bis chum. and. about Epsterm their manager; about their and their experiences tn rehearsals and on the road. Being very young and slightly spoiled, he experienced some chagrin in the discovery that she seemed alike Ignorant of the men and the plays. Worse yet. she seemed not even aware that she should have known who Bangs and Epstein were. She did not recall having heard the title of "The Black Pearl.’’ She was not only unaware that “The Man Above" had broken all box-offlee rec ords; she seemed unconscious that It had ever been written. Observing his artless surprise, she gravely explained. “I have been Interested In other things," she reminded him. The forbidden topic was stirring stretching. To quiet It, Laurie leaped Into the comedy scenes of "The Man Above." They delighted her. Her soft, delicious laughter moved him to give her bits from "The Black Pearl." and, following these, the big scenes from the latter play. This last effort followed the supper; and Laurie, now In hfs highest spirits, added to his effects by the use of a brilliant afghan, and by much raising and lowering of the light of the reading lamp. He was a fine mimic. He became hy turns the star, the leading lady, the comedian and the "heavy" of the big play. It was only when he had stopped for a moment's rest, and Doris demanded a description of the leading lady's gowns, now represented by the afghan, that hts ingenuity failed. "They’re so beautiful that most people think 1 made them.” be said, serenely. “But T didn’t, really, so I can't give you any details, except that they're very close-fitting around the feet." He was folding up the afghan as he spoke, and he stopped In the act, leaving one end dangling on the floor. From the street below the sound of a whistle came up to him, sharp and penetrating, repeating over and over the same musical phrase, the opening, notes of the Fifth Symphony. At first he thought the notes were whistled hy some casual passer by. Then, glancing at the girl's face, he knew better. The sharp, recurrent phrase was a signal. He finished folding the afghan. and carefully replaced It on the divan from which he had borrowed It. As he did so, he prattled on. He had suddenly decided not to hear that signal. Doris, sitting transfixed and staring at I him, slowly became convinced that he had not heard !t. Be glanced at hfs watch. "Ten o’clock. If Igo now, may I come back for breakfast?” "You may not." She made an effort to speak lightly. "To take you to luncheon, then, at one?” "No, please." He shook his head at her. "This Is not the atmosphere of hospitality I am used to, but I shall come anyway. I'll be here at one. In the meantime, I suddenly realize that we are not using all our opportunities. We must change that." He looked around as he spoke, and, finding what he sought, picked It up. It was a small scarf, a narrow bit of Itoman silk carrying a yjvld stripe. He held this before her. “Something may happen some <lay. and you may want me in a hurry,” he said. "I have observed with regret that you have no telephono In this room, but we can get on without one. My mirror reflects your window, you know,” he added a little self-con-selously. "If you need me, hang up_ this scarf. Just drape it over this big window catch. If I ever s£e It, I'll come prancing across the square like a knight to your rescue.” “Thank you.” She gave him her hand and the enigmatic smile that always subtly but intensely annoyed him. There wps ' something in that smile which he did i not understand, but he suspected that It held an element of amused understanding. So might Doris, years hence, smile at her little son. "She thinks I’m a reed,” Laurie reflected as he waited In the outer hall for the elevator. “I don’t blame her. I’ve been a perfectly good reed ever since I met her friend Bertie.” His thoughts, thus drawn to Shaw, dwelt on that ophidian personality. When the elevator arrived he was glud to recognize the familiar face of Sam. "Yaas, sah,” that youth affably explained, with a radiant exhibition at teeth, “It’s Henry’s night off, so I lias to be on.” They were alone In the car. Laurie, lighting a cigarette, asked a casual question. “There's a plump person in blue serge who hangs around here a good ' deal," he remarked, indifferently. .

Herbert f Ransome Shaw was walking at his , side, which was as it should be ft [ ] was to meet and talk with Herbert Ransome Shaw that he Lad so abruptly ended bls call. "Look here," he said at once, "I want a few words with you." "Exactly." Sbaw spoke with suave affability. "It la to have a few Word* that I am here." “Where can we go?" Shaw appeared to reflect. “Do you mind coming to my rooms?" Laurie hesitated. "I live quite near, and my quarters, though plain, are comfortable." Anger surged up in the young mao beside him. There was something almost insulting as be uttered the harmless words, and in the reassuring yet doubtful intonation of bls voice. “Confound him!" Laurie told himself. “The hound la actually hinting that I'm afraid to go!" Aloud, he said brusquely. "AU right ” "You have five minutes to spa/e? That's capital!” Sbaw was clearly both surprised and pleased. He strode forward with short steps, rapid yet poiseless, and Laurie adapted his longer stride to Lis companion's. He, too, was eon tee t. Now, at last, he reflected, be was through with mysteries, and was coming to a grip with something tangible The walk was not the brief excursion Herbert Ransome Sbaw had promised. It was fifteen minutes before he stopped In front of a tall building. which looked like an out-of-date storehouse, and thrust a latchkey into a dingy door. The bolt was old and rusty. Shaw fumbled with it for half a minute before It yielded. Then it grudgingly slipped back, and Laurie followed his guide into a dark hall, which was cold and damp. “They don't beat this buddling." The voice of Shaw came out of the dark ness. He had closed the door and was standing by Laurie's side, fumbling in his pocket for something which proved to be a matchbox. "They don't light It, either,” he explained, unnecessarily, as the blaze of his match made a momentary break In the gloom. "But It's quite comfortable In my room.” he added reassuringly.

Two Geneva Young Men I, Cause Trouble At Bryant I The Portland Commercial Review | gives the following account of the', excitement caused in the town of Bryant recently, by two Geneva! young men: ! "The even tenor of Bryant ways be came so "base” one evening last week 1 that for a time it looked as though 1 troops from Portland would have to be dispatched to the scene of excite I mem, which for a time is said to have, bordered on riot. This was all due to the ’hl-Jinks" of two Geneva sheiks and happened on Thursday] night when the Bryant band was In the midst of one of their regu.ar' weekly concerts. Earl Wiswell and Roscoe Eckrote I 1 came down from the historic confines of Geneva and straightway started to show the citizens of Bryant their con ] tempt for the Volstead act. When' Marshal Hoehammer of Bryant caught ’ up with them they were "nursing” a ( half gallon of "bottled in the barn" liquor. They became so enraged when the officer interfered with their celebration that they threw part of the liquor in his face and then start ed to make their getaway. One of them did, being Eckrote. who is now believed to be in Michigan. However. Wiswell didn’t live up to his name and lagged behind when Mar shal Hoehammer hauled off with his trusty gat and filled the air with shot. Wiswell was taken before Squire James Logan, where he was found guilty of intoxication and was fined $lO and costs, totalling $39.50 which he arranged to pay and was released. Eckrote is being sought in Michigan." o — ■ Birth Mary Kathryn is the name of a 7% pound baby born to Mr. and Mrs. Palmer Moser, of B<me, Sunday night. F. G.

Thousands have unenergetic forenoons because of wrong breakfast eating. To feel right, you must have a wellbalanced, complete breakfast ration. At most other meals — lunch and dinner—you get it. But breakfast i» a hurried meal, often badly chosen. Thus Quaker Oats,containing 16% protein, food's great tissue builder; 58% carbohydrate, its great energy element, plus all-important vitamines and the “bulk” that makes laxatives seldom needed, is the dietetic urge of the world today.
