BEGIN HERE TODAY Clare Jewett, in !ove with the Rew. Daniel Gilchrist, marries Jerry Good-' kind for his money. Daniel is dismissed from the fashionable Church of . the Nativity in New York because of his radical Sermons. Gilchrist ts sent to the coal mines by Goodkind senior And wires that a big strike is settled. A delete tion of strikers comes north to interriew the president and directors. They are received in Jerry's home, first Stedtman, then Hennig and Umanskl They do not meet with much success. Umanskl Is dissatisfied * with results Clare is angry because her dinner party is interrupted by Jerry’s business meeting. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Ui- -| MEAN that that Is where T I was working:. She's at her 1 I sisters’ now —up at Pittsburg. Left the day before I was elected to come up here. I sent her a telegram." ’“You don’t say so," said Good kind, then turned to Jerry with: ‘‘Anything the matter with that bell?” "'The man’s busy. I snprose,” said Jerry. “I’ll show them out-” .‘The elder Goodklnd shook hands graciously with Stedtman and Hen-

IT WAS AS A REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR THAT SHE SAW GILCHRIST COME IN • nig When he reached L’manskl he {bund the Immobility he had encountered before. The tall figure burned him with his eyes. ; Stedtman turned at the dr?or to Whisper the promise of a visit later and Jarry, ushering them out, turned to Inform his father that they were •fewlne.” , The tardy servant entered with an explanation that he had been signing lor a box he carried for Mrs. GoodHind. A moment later he handed it to her as she came ftom the music Boom. Clare evinced little Up to Its contents, putting it under her arm unopened. "Everybody gone?" queried GoodKind, looking up from a desk at which be had seated himself. T "They’re all down in the billiard room," she said with an inflection that Indicated she was either bored or angered. “We wanted to make up a eouple of tables of bridire. *but. with the men In here—as usual. Where’s Jerry?” - "Downstain? for a minute," replied Goodklnd. r "I’ve seen him just 10 minutes this week." said Clare. * "He’s only been back three hours," laughed Goodklnd. "Well —” and she was showing her Qtepleaeure now— “I wish he wouldn't break up my dinner parties.” * Goodklnd pushed back the papers before him and moved toward her. “ "What have you there?” he aald. turning his eyee to the unopened box.

Clare started to open It. "Another—substitute," she said haltingly. ,* "Substitute? For ’ v ? "For my hijsbanda time—anJ‘.;love —and companionship." “She hel£ up a stunning sable scarf and handed it unconcernedly to her father-fn -law. “ITm! You don’t seem much surprised,” he said. "No—. Whenev# Jerry’s been away longer than usual, or has done something he’s a little ashamed of, there’s something of this sort for me.” There was injured pride in her tone. "Must have been a whopper this time," laughed Goodkind. "Yes,” said Clare seriously, her eyes taking on a look of calculation. "Pretty generous husband, if you ask me," said the husband's father airily: 1 "Yes.” The answer was unconvincing. She put the scarf back into its box. Goodkind had caught the unhappiness in her attitude. "Upon my word,” he said, ”T don’t know what you women want. A man works his heart and soul out to get you things and still you’re not satisfied.” - -■ Clare linked up appealingly. "Maybe we’d like a little 'heart and soul,’ ” she said, taking his own words. "You’re not erring?” he said, leaning over her. She looked up through tear-blurred eyes and nodded sheepishly. "My God,” he said. ’’Can you beat It?” She rose and walked to a mirror, "I’ll be down in a minute," she said. "Tell Riggs—will you—-if any one comes. I’ll be talking to Jerry.” He followed her and put a hand on her shoulder. "And—>buck up. _. There are people worse off than we are—and it’s a great life if you don’t weaken." Clare stood before a mirror a moment. first brushing aside the intru ! rive tears, then covering their red wake with powder. It was a reflection over her shoulder in the glass that she saw the door open incl Daniel Gilchrist came in.

CHAPTER XT Opening Old Wounds Clare stood a moment, surveying the man in reflection as she had done a thousand times in her heart since last they hod-faced In damatic tensity In a darkened church room. He did not see her. He stood there, a meek figure, indeed Suddenly Clare turned. Gilchrist looked up In surprise, then, a bit doubtful, bowed and made a movement toward the door. “Oh. come in," she said in bold invitation. "I’m Just powdering my nose. Does that offend your reverence?” "On the contrary." he said with a smile, "I agree with the man who said, 'Put your trust in God, but keep your powder dry.’ ” They laughed, and with the laughter the wall that was between them crumbled and vanished. "When did you get in?" Clare asked, quietly. "Half an hour ago." "Had dinner?"' "On the train. I was starved.’’ He smiled again. "Thank goodness, they don’t charge for dinner by the mile. Riggs said your father-in-law was In here—” “He’ll be. up In a mntpent —won’t you sit down? We haven’t had five minutes together since—” "Since—” he started. But the wall had risen again and there was an awkward pause. It was Clare who broke the momentary silence, a silench she dared not face because it brought memories, as all silences do. .- . “I understand you're very happy in your new—profession, 5 ’ she said. "Tee," he answered,' V' i " "You’ve got— everything— r- you—want?" she pursued haltingly. ’No, I haven't everything I want." he said frankly, "but I’m happy.” "My father-in-law says that if you settle this strike you’re to be—” She put her hand to her mouth In ages- | ture of self-reproach. “ —but that’s a business secret." She paused. "I suppose I might tell you, though. He save it’ll make you a big man In the company—with a tremendous salary You mustn’t give that away?" "The secret?’’ asked Daniel, smiling. “The salary," said Clare. “I suppose you’ve got over that.” He j smiled. "So —you don’t really seem j to have lost anything by giving up j your church." “No," he said thoughtfully. "Queer as It seems, sometimes I think I’ve gained—ln opportunity." Clare looked away, reflectively. "Perhaps one might have eaten one's cake and had it, too,” she said, chiefly to herself. “Clare!” f Christ turned eyes that were half eager, half reproachful, upon her. "You frightened me so that night with the bugaboo of poverty,” she went on with something of despair In her voice. "Don’t you think there might have been a compromise—something half way?” He turned an ay. "Why open wounds that are beginning to heal?” he said protest- 1 lngly. : , * “Yours seem quite healed,” she j said, a little enviously. He stepped nearer and looked at j her Intently. "And you have everything you want?" he akkdd tenderly. solicitous. ! His tone prided her.pride. "Yes,” she said with something of her Impulsive defiance. “You see—l was selfish—to ask i you to give up the thing: ThaUcount so much with you for those, that count with me." He was quietly earnest. I ((knew you wera to be : -married —” He frowned. “ —I was afraid for you—but I was wrong again. You’re happy —and I’m honestly glad.” She was looking at him quizzically. “Are yon—honestly-—happy*-’’ she asked slowly. “Honestly.” he said. , \ "In just helping others?” He nodded his answer. "I don’t understand that." she said. “You will-—=omp day—and. so will all the world.” ‘ ’ •, Jerry found the two face to face | and he came In. a bit unsteadily. He j had added several brandies to a gen- : erous allowance at dinner and was j In Jo ne too genial, mood-, 4 "Aollo, 'Gilchrist." he said ‘ gruffly. ‘

“In early aren't you? I didn't mean to interrupt a tete-a-tete." "You're _. not Interrupting ” said Clare, embarrassed not by Gilchrist's presence, but by Jerry's liquor-freed tongue. We’ve been having a merry evening with your delegation," Jerry said to Gilchrist. "That’s why my wife’s sore.” “I’m not sore.” said Clare, 'T’ve Just been a little lonely.” “You don’t look it!” Jerry surveyed the pair, “I couldn’t help going to Black River. I didn’t go for pleasure —did I, Gilchrist?” “No," said Daniel easily. “There was work and plenty of Jt. I was sorry you had to leave when you did.” “Why. Jerry didn’t leave much before you, did be?” Clare asked, pushed. Jerry stirred nervously. “Just a few—” he started, but Gilchrist also bad begun an answer. “Only twenty-four hottrs,” he said. “He wanted to get back to you.” “But—lie's Just got back,” said Clare. She turned to. her husband. ‘ Where have you been, Jerry?” “Attending to business—of course,” he said impatiently. “Os course,’ she said resignedly. .“Good night, Dan.” She picked up her box and started to leave. “Oh—you got the furs,” put In •Jem cheerily. “Yes, thank you,” she said without looking, up.
