PART FOUR CHAPTER IV. i Hapgood had said to hi* friend of the effect on Sabre of Mabel's action against him: “He's crashed. The roof’s fallen In on him.” And that had been Sabre’s own belief. But It was not so. There are degrees of calamity. Dumfonnded, stunned, aghast. Sabre would not have believed that conspiracy against him of all the powers of darkness could conceivably worsen his plight. They had shot their bolt. He was stricken amain. But they had not shot their bolt. The roof had not yet fallen on him. The timbers of the superstructure bad but bent and cracked and groaned. Their bolt was shot, the roof crashed In, the four sides of his world tottered and collapsed upon him, with the words spoken to Sabre by that man who approached and took him aside while he stood to take leave of Hapgood. The man said, "I daresay yon know me by sight, Mr. Sabre. I’m the coroner’s i ffleer at Tldborough. Yohi’re rather wanted down there. The fact Is that ycung woman that’s been living with yo.i has been found dead.” Stbre’s face took then the strange and awf tl hue that Hapgood had marked upon It. “Found dead? Found dead? "Where?” “In your house, Mr. Sabre. And her baby, deadwlth her.” “Found dead? Found dead? Effle? And her baby? Found dead? Oh. dear God • • * Catch hold of my arm a minute. All right, let me go. Found dead? What d’you mean, found dead?” “There’s to be an Inquest tomorrow. That's what you’re wanted for.” “Inquest? Inquest?” Sabre's speech was thick. He knew It was thick. Ills tongue felt enormously too big for hts mouth. He could not control It properly. He felt that all h's limbs and members were swollen and ponderous and out of his control. “Inquest? Found dead? Inquest? Found dead? Goo’ God, can't you tell me something?” The man said: “I say that's for the coroner. And least you ssy best, sir. If you understand me. Looks as if the young woman took poison. Oxalic acid.” “Oxalic acid!” They went to the cab. II In the morning In the mortuary adjoining the coroner’s court, his mind suddenly and with shock most terrible made contact with the calamity It had pursued. In the mortuary • • • When he arrived and alighted from his cab he found a small crowd of persons assembled about the yard of the court. Someone said: '“There he Is!” Some one said: "That's him!” A kind of threatening murmur went up from the people. What was the matter? What were they looking at? He seemed to be wedged among a mass of dark and rather beastly faces breathing close to his own. Te could not get on. He was being pushed. He was caused to stagger. He .laid: “Look out. I’ve got a game leg.” That threatening sort of murmur arose more loudly In answer to his words. Someone, somewhere, threw a piece of orange peel at someone. It almost hit his ’ace. What was up? What were they all ■dng? it the door of the court Sabre looked cross to where on the other side of the yard some men were shutting out of a detached building. The coroner’s officer said: “Jury. They've been viewing the corpse.” •'Corpse!” The rough word stabbed through his numbness. He thought, “Corpse! Viewing the corpse! Obscene and horrible phrase! Corpse! Effle!” He made a movement in that direction. The man said: “Yes, perhaps yon'd better.” He was against a glass screen, misty with breaths of those who had stared and peered through It. The policeman wiped his sleeve across the glass. “There you are.” Ah, • • • 1 Now, suddenly and with shock most terrible, his mind made rentact with that which It had pursued. It had groped as in a dark room with outstretched hands. Now, suddenly and with shock, most terrible. It was as If those groping hands had touched In the darkness a face. Ah, Insupportable! This was EfTie. This was Bright Effle. This was that jolly little Effie of the old, mllllon-year-old days. This! This! She lay on a slab Inclined toward the glass. She was swathed abo<ut In cerements. Only her face was visible. Within the hollow of her arm reposed a little shape, all swathed. She had brought It into the world. She had removed It from the world that would have nothing of It. She had brought a thousand smiles into the world, but she had given offense to the world and the offended world had thrown back her smiles and she now had expressed her contrition to the world. This was her contrition that he lay here for men to breathe upon the glass, and stare, and rub away the dimness with their sleeves, and breathe, and stare again.

Our First Year Chapter XXV—Flappers Folly BT A BRIDE.

BT A BRIDE. START THIS SERIES HERE. Jack and his bride started out with the idea that marriage should not interfere with their individual liberties. I’og. the bride, finds one of her flapper acquaintances Is interested in Bart Elliott, her awn platonic friend. Knowing the right people for the sake of Jack's business isn’t going to be at all difficult for me, with Bonny Tearle as my chum for ages, and Bonny’s father financing the Little Playhouse crowd. The Tearles’ is a war-made fortune —a huge one from chemicals— the Tearlea are nice people—human enough net to drop old friends because they have moved into one of the finest houses In town. It was really . who got Mr. Tearle to back the players. He'd never have thought of promoting us, he says, •'except for Peg.” And he was anxious to promote something In the way of art, he admits. This enterprise has maile him quite distinguished among the city’s art patrons. He's in close touch with "the legitimate,” and meets all the famous actors at exclusive little dinners given by exclusive society hostesses. And he is not the man to forget that poor little I first interested him in promoting performances of dramatic noveltie*. Naturally, it’s my duty to look after Bonny. I'm really afraid that that dapper Is going to make a lot of trouble for herself and the rest of us. If I don't look after her. , Os course she’s In and out of the Tlayhouse a good deal, she likes the crowd, considered It bohemian, which it isn’t at all. except when she trails George Bradshaw along. "He’d giro a sporty bus to a cemetery," Jack |ay.

Oh, Insupportable calamity I Ob, tragedy beyond support! He thought of her as oft and again he had seen her —those laughing lips, thoso shining eyes. He thought of her alone when he had left her, planning and preparing this frightful dissolution of her body and her soul. He thought of her In torment of Inward fire by that which had blistered her poor lips. Avery terrible groan was broken out of him. They took him along. 111 The court was crammed. In two-thirds of Its space were crowded benches. At the upper end of the room was a dais, a schoolmaster’s desk. Flanking it on one hand were forms occupied by the men Sabre had seen shuffling out of the One of the Two Men at the flcad of the Table Started to Ills Feet. mortuary. Or. the other hand a second dais stood. Facing the central dais was a long table at which men were seated on the side looking toward the dais. Two men sat also at the head of this table, facing the Jury. As Fubre entered they were In de p conversation with a stunted, hunchbacked man who sat next them at the corner. Every face In the room turned toward the door as Sabre entered. They might have belonged to a single body and they appeared to have a single expression and a single thought; a dark and forbidding expression and a thought dark and hostile. There was again that murmur that tail greeted him when he stepped from the cab. At the sight of him one of the two men at the head of the table started to his feet. Avery big man, and with a very big and massive face and terrific eyes who started up and raised clenched figs and had his Jaws working. Old Bright. Ills companion at the head of the table restrained him and drew him down again. A tall, spare, dark man with a thin mouth In a deeply lined face—Twynlng. IV From a door behind the central dais a large, stout man entered and took his seat. Whispers about the court said, “Coroner.” Someone bawled “Silence." The coroner fiddled with some papers, pot pince-nez on his nose and stared about the court. He had a big, fiat face. He stared about. “Is the witness Sabre In attendance?” The coroner’s officer said, “Yes, sir." The coroner looked at him. “Are von legally represented?” He said, “Represented? No. Why should I be represented?” The coroner turned to examine some papers. “That you may perhaps discover,” he remarked dryly. The court tittered. A man was seated not far from the hunchback rose and bowed and said, “I am watching the interests of Mrs. Sabre." Sabre started. Mrs. Sabre! Mabel! The hunchback sprang to his feet and jerked a bow. “I represent Mr. Bright, the father of the deceased." CHAPTER V. i Hapgood said: “Did I say to you last time, after that Brighton business, that the man had crashed, that the roof had fallen In on him? Eh, man, sitting on his bed there at Brighton and gibbering at me. Sabre was a whole man, a sane man: he was a fortunate and happy man, compared with this that I saw come at hitn down at Tidborotigh yesterday. “By Jove, old matt, how I’m ever going to tell yon. That poor chap In there baited by those flen Is • * • By Jove • • • but this business, old Sabre up In that witness box with his face In a knot and stammering ‘look here —. Look here—’; that was absolutely all he ever said; he never could get any farther—old Sabre going through that, and the

Bonny has nothing to do with our rehearsals but she makes them an excuse for asking George Bradshaw to come along. He's more than 40 She's 16. He's gray and handsome as ever an old man can be. Jeanne says any woman can flatter him silly, but I've concluded that George can flatter any girl into a perfect fool! Today Bonny chattered about him, to me, thus: “Fascinating, George Is! He says I’m a perfect little puzzle, he can't understand me! I tell him all my little secrets ’n' everything, which I don’t expect I should do, but I Just can't help It, but several things I've told hint 1 wish I hadn't. I surely must hush about some of the boys." “What boys?" “Bart Elliott 1 I've told ol’ George that Bart is my ideal man! I onght not to. It mads ol’ George jealous 1 Then I told him that B a scorn Jones had proposed, and was planning a little house out on a ranch with pounles and Indian servants ’n' everything. “And ol’ George said that Jonesey Is only 20, and Just at the top of fool love's hill, and ho hasn't had any experience in love, so he simply can't be true to a girl. Is that so, Peg?" “It's bunk”' I replied. “And oi’ George says I like Bart only because lie's such a good stepper and keeps up with my nimble lues, which George owns he can't, and that's why we always sit out our dances together.” “Is that the only reason. Bonny?” The poor child blushed furiously, tried to change the subject, always ended up with Bart or George. As a result of her Insanity, Pre had to take Bart Into my confidence. —(Copy* right, JLB22. 1 (Xo *e Om*mU

Mud-Tossing Methods Are Scored by Woman Writer Frances Gordon Den ny Declares Warning Against Abuse Is Tardy.

By FRANCES GORDON DENNY. The warning issued by the chairman of the Republican State committee against the personal abuse of the candidates by the opposing factions In his party comes rather late In the primary campaign. If It. had been launched when the mud first began to fl.v It would have been more effective. The fact that the chairman finds It necessary to Include “ladles’’ as well as "gentlemen” In his appeal for moderation emphasizes a phase of women’s participation in politics that Is worth considering. Any one who discusses the qnestlon of women’s part In public affairs Is pretty sure to be confronted sooner or later with the remark: “Women have said If they were given the ballot they would clean up politics; why don’t they do It?” Now, thero Is no doubt that women would like to do something to help clean up politics; the trouble is lu knowing where to begin. There are so many things that need cleaning it Is a little confusing; but It seems strange that the conduct of the primary campaign has not suggested Itself as a field for endeavor. It would have been a fine thing, for Instance, If women could have united In discountenancing the persona! abuse that has been In evidence in the primaries since their Inauguration and that has been such a disgusting feature of the present contest. THINKS MUD-SLINGING POOR METHOD. There ought to be a better way to express a preference for a candidate than by assailing the character of h!s rival. Whoever Is successful In the primary becomes the party candidate and Is expected to hare the support of those who Cre against him as well as of those who re for him. To see a whole body of people, or any number of them, for that matter, swallow their words, turn squarely around and advocate the candidacy of a person they have sppnt months in vilifying Is not an elevating spectacle. It does not make for Character, either public or private. It is demoralizing. We hear mnch Bbout constructive criticism. It would be a good thing to apply in politics, especially In the primary campaign. If a candidate has merits, it ought to be enough to emphasize those merits wlthont seeking to destroy the character of his opponent. Women long have been credited with a weakness for spreading scandal. Mrs. Grundy was always of the feminine gender in the opinion of most people, at least.

There are among those who hint that she is not above donning male attire upon occasion—at the corner drug store, perhaps, or on a hotel balcony—but that Is no excuse for the old lady’s activities. Whether she be male or female, a certain class of politicians count on making her an Instrument of propaganda. It is worth while to try to defeat their purpose. Woman’s vote would have more weight In politics If there were a little mvstery about It. Reserve always has at least a semblance of power. In the last presidential campaign, you remember, there was great uneasiness among the “bosses” as to what effect the women’s vote would have. They had been told that women wore going to think for themselves; that they would not stand for this and that; especially that they would not support candidates whose private lives were not above reproach. So they undertuck to set the woman conscience on edge. SCANDALOUS STORIES GAIN CIRCG.I ATION. They spread broadcast the most atrocious stories, nor only about tne presidential candidates, but about the President whose terra of office was then drawing to a close. When the ballots were counted and It was shown that the women had, upon the whole, divided off pretty evenly on party lines, very much after the fashion of their fathers and husbands, a great sigh of relief must surely have gone uj> from political headquarters. This experience, however, does not deter politicians from applying the same unworthy tnctlcs to t'heir own party primaries. While the newspapers are concerned with the legitimate features of the contest, the principals upon which their respective candidates stand, their personal ability, their political records, which are all very necessary for the Information of voters-an Irresponsible lot of mischief makers busy themselves with gossip which they hope will make a special appeal to women and which they think they may depend upon then' to spread. It Is an abominable situation. If women would refuse to lend themselves to the spreading of such gossip It would not be without effect. If they wish to help clean up politics they could not do oetter than begin on this phase of It. The present primary eampnign Is nearing Its close, but the primary as an Institution —or as an experiment—ls still in !? infancy. Why not give It a tasto of home discipline?

The ADVENTURES/ & Raggedy Raggedy Ann and Andy By JOHNNY GRUELLE

A pretty little brook wound about through the yellow meadow grass and refiected the blue, blue sky above It where It wound around and across tho meadow toward the deep, deep woods filled with Fairies 'n everything, the little brook ran faster until it tumbled and danced with tinkling music over the mossy stones. The little brook was as quiet as it flowed through the yellow meadow as Annie Angleworm Is when she 1s sound asleep and hardly h ripple rati across its loßklng g!,t.<s surface except when some cricket, or gra--hopper slid off a bending reed anil plinked Into the water. "It's God’s looking glass!” thought Raggededy Ann, her little candy heart pressing with happiness against tho front of her soft cotton stuffed body. “Everythin* Is so lovely!" “Indeed It Is!" .‘milled Raggedy Andy as he threw one loppy rag arm around Raggedy Ann’s neck. The two rag dolls sat down upon the clean meadow gra-n and watched the reflections of the clouds as they passed above. “They look like a great drove of snow white sheep down In the water!” said Raggedy Ann. “I guess they are cloud sheep!” laughed Raggedy Andy. “And each night old Mister Moon comes up and shoos them across the sky to their homes and In the day time, old shiny Mlatcr Sun comes peeping up over the deep, deep woods, filled with Fairies 'u everything and says, ‘Hurry along there, snowy cloud sheep, hurry along!* ” “Listen!” whispered Raggedy Ann as she held up a rag thumb. “What Is all the clicking noise?" The two rag dolis crop - to the edge of the brook to look over, for right below where they were sitting they heard little “Cricks! Cricks! Crlckety! Crick, Crick! Crick!” starting slowly at first, then growing louder and louder, as if teeny, ween elves were clicking pebbles together. Raggedy Andy in his eagerness to see leaned too far over whore the grasses bent toward the water, and before Raggedy Ann could say “niggeldy Plggeldy!” Raggedy Andy slid from the bank and went head first down Into the water. Raggedy Andy threw his rag nrtns out In front of him as he fell, so that when he struck the water he scooted deep down beneath the surface until his hands touched the yellow sand at tlie bottom.

button eyes wet with excitement and a broad smile upon hi* face. "Did you see me slide?" he laughed as the water dripped off his little blue hat.- "Indeed I did!" Raggedy Ann replied. “Is the water cold ?” “It's as warm as pudding!” he replied. “Then look out for me!” Raggedy Ann cried as she drew back from the bank and giving a run. jumped high In tho air, sailed out over the brook and cmo down, “splash," sending a shower of water over Raggedy Andy. Then Raggedy Ann and Andy played "ducking” each other and laughed and splashed about nntll Raggedy Andy noticed some of the little weeny creatures on the bottom. "They are the teeny things ,who were “clicking' ” said Raggedy Ann when she saw Raggedy Andy watching them scuttling about the bottom. "Perhaps we are frightening them.” “We mustn’t do that!” Raggedy Andy said, for although Raggedy Andy did not have a candy heart like Raggedy Ann, nevertheless, he was very kindly. So tho two rag dolls kicked their feet and waved their arms until they pushed themselves to the bank, then sat and watched the little creatures until they finally came up to the top of the water and locked at the two dolls with large round eyes. “Come on out!” said Raggedy Ann in her softest and kindest voice, “We won’t hurt you!” So the teeny weeny creatures swam to the bank and gathered around the two kindly rag dolls: “We are meadow frogs!” said one to Raggedy Ann, “and we were Just starting to telegraph to our cousins farther down the brook!” And with this, all tho little meadow frogs began clicking away— ...... And Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy looked into each others shoo button eyes as they climbed tip the bank and left the teeny, weeny meadow frogs sending their messages, and as they walked across the yellow meadow toward tho deep, deep woods, filled with Fairies ‘n everything, the message of the meadow frogs mingled with the songs of the birds and the humming of insects and while they knew nothing about, telegrams, the two dolls. Raggedy Ann and Andy felt the meadow frogs' messages echoed throughout the heart of nature and meant, “We love you!” SPORT SUITS.

crushed against each other. Save three or four of the finest berries to garnish the top of the shortcake. Put berries In a large bowl. Sprinkle with sugar. Allow about one-half cup sugar to a pint of berries. Crush berries slightly with a wooden potato masher. Put the bowl in a pan of hot water and let stand till ready to serve the shortcake. Never split and fill a shortcake till ready to serve it. SHORTCAKE FOR FOUR. One and oue-half cups flour, two teaspoons, baking powder, three dessertspoons butter, one teaspoon sugar, onequarter teaspoon salt, cold water to make a soft dough. The method of mixing is the same. One solid pint of berries can be stretched to serve four, but serving of berries is a bit “skimpy.” Instead of baking the cake in one big pan. Individual biscuits are often made. ’These are split and prepared Just like the big shortcake. There is less controversy over the “biggest piece” and the shortcake is easier to serve when individual cakes are made. Whipped cream will “go” farther with shortcake than plain cream. Cream swells to one-third its bulk when whipped. Shortcake is often made with sponge cake instead of biscuit dough. In this case whipped cream is always served aud the berries are not crushed. Old-fashioned strawberry shortcake is almost a whole meal in itself. Use it as a luncheon dessert or with a light dinner. Clear soup, flsh salad, brown bread and butter, old-fashioned strawberry shortcake and coffee would make a nourishing meal for the average person.—Copyright 1922. _ l
