CHAPTER XLV ON the third day that Jack visited Dorothy’s studio, she declared laughingly: “But I have no further need for a model, Captain Farquahar. I’m working on still life.” He dropped into a chair. “Just the same, I’m going to hang around. You may need one sometime.” Dorothy smiled and shook her head. “You’re a staying in New STork must interfere with business greatly.” “I haven’t any business,'* confessed Jack. “I have a position selling bonds in Chicago, but with Lila so up in the air I can’t even leave to accept it.” •‘Perhaps your absence from New York for a while would make Lila realize she loves you,” said Dorothy, thinking to give Lila a respite from the captain. “The five years I was in France didn’t make her any more fond of me.” “But, captain, she thought you were dead.” ' “And so she forgot me,” Jack said slowly. “Would you have forgotten a man so quickly, Mrs. Ware?” “I never believed you were dead,” she said quickly. “I simply felt as though you were living.” “Were you—were you glad that I returned?” he hesitated; his own voice sounding strange to his ears.” “Oh, yes. I would have been quite inhuman had I not. He was silent. Dorothy put aside her pencil. “Would you care for tea?” she asked glancing at her watch. “Very much indeed, if you’ll ask me to stay.” Dorothy laughed outright. “You’re such a contradictory person, Captain Farquahar. Yqp visit my studio without invitation, but you must be formally asked to take tea.” He rose to help her wheel the teacart from behind a Chinese screen. “It’s not my preference to come without invitation,” he remarked significantly.. Dorothy threw him a mischievous glance. “It is my policy never to play about with other girls’ fiances.” “Nor mine—with other men’s xvives,” he assured her coolly. She bit her lip. “Not even if the wives are very unhappy?” He looked up quickly. His gaze caught and held hers. “Are you unhappy, Mrs. Ware?” She laughed softly, seoffingly. “Not a bit of it! That was a purely impersonal question. I merely wanted to see how you would take it.” The phone rang. It was Lila calling. Jack had completely forgotten that he was to have had tea with her at “Mrs. Ware’s” home that afternoon. Dorothy laughted. “You’d best hurry. Lila is waiting.” He picked up his hat reluctantly and gave a lingering glance at the tea-table. “Will you let me come tomorrow?” he asked wistfully. “Certainly not!” laughed Dorothy. “I don’t propose to make my best friend green with jealousy.” “Isn’t it unkind to thrust me so abruptly out of Paradise?” “Maybe. But it’s prudent. Now do run along. And give Lila all my love.” He was standing in the hall outside the studio door. “All?” he queried, with an audacious light in his gray eyes. Dorothy’s own eyes were dancing. She laughed softly, as she lifted her face toward his, and her lips were alluring, inviting. Farquahar, with a quick movement, leaned forward. The studio door closed gently in his face! When Farquahar arrived halfhour late in the Ware drawing room, Lila said: “You can’t stay long Jack. It’s too late. And I have to rush, because I’m having a dinner party at an out-of-town club.” For once he didn’t protest. He

Chrystal found two letters awaiting her when she arrived very late at the office Monday morning. “Good afternoon,” Miss Morse her office enemy, greeted the tired girl sarcastically. “Mr. Pruitt kept asking if you’d come, until 10 o’clock, then he called Miss Green in from the credit manager’s office and dictated to her.” Crystal’s listless manner and darkly circled eyes bore witness to her humble explanation: “I—l’m not well. I didn’t go to sleep until dawn and then Mrs. Hathaway didn’t call me because the maid told her I was ill.” “If you ffappers would cut out some of your ‘heavy dates’ and all of that bootleg gin you drink, maybe you could manage to toddle down to work on time,” Miss Morse snapped. Crystal was too dispirited, too genuinely grieved over her renunciation of Pablo Mendoza, to take the sweet kernel of flattery out of Miss Morse’s stereotyped tirade. She slumped tiredly in her nar-row-backed chair and opened George Pruitt’s letter with no more interest than if it had been an advertisement. After an enthusiastic description of an exhibit of impressionistic paintings which he had seen at the art museum, George wrote: “I had expected to be home by Monday, but Dad had wired me to hang around here for another week. Save" a date, for me for the last- week in September, won't you, Crystal? And you might scribble me a line. Affectionately, George.” “If I write three single spaces about Faith he’ll think I’m the grandest girl in the world—next to “Well, I’ll do just that. Might as well strew a little sunshine as I go

seemed a bit absent-minded, and when Lila said it was time to go after tea, he departed with docility that alarmed her. Farquahr’s thoughts as he went back to the hotel were not of Lila. He was buying cigarets in the hotel lobby, two men strolled by. One of them said suddenly, “There is Ware now. Let’s brace him, about that traction stock.” Jack turned swiftly and saw them stop and greet a well dressed man with a firm mouth and extremely stubborn chin. He had an unmistakable air of surety and confidence. So that was Herbert Ware, thought Jack. The husband of Lila’s friend and the lover of Lila herself.

By Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 3.—The Indiana state conference of student teaching will convene at Ball Teachers college here Thursday to continue through Saturday. Speakers will include Dr. W. H. Burton, University of Chicago; Dr. Robert G. Simpson, Ball college; Mrs. Bertha Phillip, Muncie; C. Ray Williams, Bloomington; Frank E. Allen, Muncie school superintendent; D. W. Norton, Logansport superintendent; Miss Georgia Davis, Richmond; C. E. Hinshaw, Kokomo, and J. E. Crawley, Decatur county superintendent. Legion Chief for Strong Navy By Times Special LOGANSPORT, Ind., Dec. 3. Frank M. McHale, department commander of the American Legion, has received a letter from the national commander of the legion, Paul V. McNutt, calling upon every Legionnaire in this state to actively support President Coolidge’s naval strengthening program “as the only answer other nations will understand.”

along. . . Oh, Pablo, I’m not going to be able to bear life without you . . .” Her other letter was from Harry Blaine, and since she did not know that Harry had proposed to Tony Tarver—and been rejected—she opened it with just a trace of eagerness, which she was ashamed of, because of Pablo. “Well, Crys, old dear,” Harry’s letter began, with what the girl faintly resented as rather too much casualness. ‘l’m certainly learning to wait: I’ve worn the seats out of three chairs in one play agent’s office. “If something doesn’t break in another week, I’m going to take the count and walk home. If I ever get back to Stanton, I’ll have to walk. “I’ve spent so much jack since I breezed in, all het up with the idea that I was the white-haired boy from the corn belt. “But I have got a good play and I’m writing another one tliat’ll knock ’em out of their seats, and I'm going to stifck as long as I can: Bea good girl, and don’t forget your to-be-famous collaborator— Harry Blaine.” Crystal was dully resentful and disappointed when she finished Harry’s nonchalant scrawl. It did not occur to her that he was whistling to keep up his courage. Her sole thought was that he had failed her, too. Subconsciously she had been counting on him and George to help her survive her perod of mourning for Pablo Mendoza. “Well! You here, Miss Hathaway? V like to speak to you in my private office,” Mr. Lincoln Pruitt interrupted her thoughts, his voice significantly stern. (To Be Continued.) ,

Jack seethed with an unreasonable jealousy. He dined in a savage mood, and to calm his troubled thoughts he went to a play after dinner. But it didn’t interest him and he left at the end <of the first act. Across the house, “Mrs. Ware” nodded to him brightly. She was with his hated rival, Gilroy Holmes. n u n Farquahr would have been even more astonished if he could have seen Herbert Ware at that time. Herbert was calling a number on the phone. It was a detective agency. (To Be Continued.) (Copyright, 1927, Metropolitan Newspaper Service)

How Bright Is Your Baby?

Baby doesn't live in the space world that adults inhabit. He has to build up his space world with great effort. Form and position are not fused for him and so, ao we found out Saturday, Baby can enjoy his picture-book when turned upside down as much as when right side up. Baby, first of all, lives in a space of his own, he is the center of hi? universe. His mouth is the most important part of himself, and because of its power to seize things in its immediate neighborhood the mouth is the first organ of special comprehension. Presently Baby comes to live in a world of near-space. His head is the center of this space and it extends away from him about a third of a yard. Now the hand is the exploring organ, and the eyes follow it eagerly. Pretty soon Baby conquers distant space, too. His eyes are able to accommodate to and converge on objects several yards away. How many of the following questions about baby’s conquest of space can you answer? 1. Can Baby at 2 months see clearly objects ten feet away from him? Yes No 2. Can Eaby at 6 months recognize familiar faces nine feet distant? Yes No 3. Crawling and walking change distant space into near space? Yes No 4. Baby never tires of throwing things on the floor at 2 months? Yes No 5. This throwing of things on the floor is Baby’s way of experimenting on spacial relations? Yes No 6. Can Baby at 2 months converge his eyes on a distant object? Yes No 7. Is the, Baby who cries for the moon unreasonable in the same way as an adult who cries for it? Yes No

Key to Questions

Nos. 1 and 6. No. Nos. 2,3 5. Yes. No. 4. Not until five months or later does Baby begine to experiment on spacial relations. No. 7. No. Baby thinks the moor, is on the window pane. One little girl who couldn’t get hold of it there reasoned that she would have to go upstairs to get it. Next: We will talk about Baby’s sense of time. (Copyright, 1927, Science Service, Inc.)

Three times Herbert Hoover and Mrs. Hoover circled the world before Herbert. Jr. was three years old. But their tour was vastly different from that the average globe-trotter takes—the Hoovers had a living to earn in the foreign lands they visited and often it was hard work and there were many rebuffs.
