She wanted to take him off his guard, to catch him unawares. It was more or less a guess that he was in fear of Huck Connor, but she hoped to surprise the truth from him. And she very nearly succeeded. Harold sat back in his chair as though he had been forcibly pushed there. His lips went white and hiS eyes took on an expression that almost made Mildred regret her words. But she did not try to retract thm. She was certain of tier surmise now. If was Huck Connor who was at the bottom of the pitiable change that had come over Harold in the past few; weeks. He leaned over and picked up a class of water. A few drops - pilled on the tablecloth as he iiiteu it. Mildred waited for him to speak. “You re too clever " he said finally, putting the glass away from his lips. “No,” Mildred said quickly, softly. “I guess I’ve been terribly stupid trying to pry into your affairs like this. Harold. But I couldn't see you going on. looking worse and worse, probably getting deeper into something that's ruining you, without raying a word. You know it isn’t Idle couriosity. I want, to help you.” Harold nodded. ‘Yes, I know that,” he said. "but. I wish you would forget about it. It can t do any good for you to know what's happened. It will come out all right. No need to worry.” ana MILDRED knew that he was talking to bolster up his own courage. She sighed deeply. Her courage needed bolstering, too. So much that in the days that followed she came near forgetting Harold's mysterious troubles. She had pursued one will-o'-the-wisp position after another without getting any, until she began seriously to worry. And back of the fatigue of daily battle with subway crowds, elevator jams, long waits on hard office chairs and disheartening requests to leave her name and address. was the dull ache of longing for sight of a certain beloved face. /The merry brown eyes and cheery smile that belonged to Stephen Armitage haunted her. She told herself she was a fool for giving him a thought, but it didn’t matter what she told herself. She was ill love with him. Mildred had not. wasted her emotions in trival affairs. Her whole

As Crystal reached for the extension telephone on her bed-side table she devoutly thanked Fate for two blessings—that Cherry’s rather snobbishly swank scale of living had included this convenience for her guests, and that the Ponson farm was so near Stanton that calls were on a simple toll basis, not long distance. There would be no waiting, no ftjrill clamor of the bell downstairs to give away the fact that she was calling the Tarver home so soon after Tony had left. '"Serenity 0450,” she answered the operator's query in a low voice. The Tarver maid's soft, slurring voice came over the wire: “That you. Miss Tony? You done forgot somepin else?" So it had been Annabelle who had phoned, not Pat Tarver! Crystal thought quickly, even as she answered: "No, Annabelle. This is Cfystal Hathaway. I wanted to tell you that if you haven't already sent Tony’s parcel. I should like for you to run over to Mrs. Hathaway’s and ask her to give you my—my heavy white sweater. I forgot to bring it and I need it for country walks.” Even to her own ears her excuse for calling sounded absurdly flimsy, but apparently the maid found nothing odd about it. "Sure, Miss Crystal. 1 already bundled up Miss Tony's shoes she wanted me to mail her. but I'll git yo’ sweater an' open up the package. Mist? Tarver here. Miss Crystal. He says he wanta speak to Miss Tony." Crystal's heart beat heavily, sickeningly. as she waited for Pat Tarver to take the receiver. "Hello. Mr. Tarver. This is Crystal . . . No. I'm awfully sorry Tony isn't here and she’ll be sorry, tob. She's out driving. ... No, I'© not quite well enough for long ves yet. . . . I'll tel! her you wanted to speak to her. and have her call you when she copies in, if it is&'t too late.” pat Tarver's big rich laugh vibrated the telephone wires. "It'll be la4e, all right, if I know my Tony! Just tell her I miss her like the devil and will be glad when she comes home. Tell her. too. that I had a fine letter from Peg today. Make my gfrl behave herself. Crystal, if that lsjft putting too big a load on a ‘ifk girl's shoulders Take care of yaurself, child. . . Good-night." hung up the receiver and sat staring blindly at the demurely sty gpattern of the guest room's

hear belonged to Stephen and life was just an empty void without him. but a void filled with vagrant, unwelcome thoughts that turned sharp knives in her heart and dulled her eyes. Stephen had not called since Mildred lost her position at the Judson. That week of memories, when she had been at home with her mother, began to seem to Mildred like a dream. It had promised so much . . . and come to nothing. Stephen thought of it, too, at times, and wondered how a girl who was as lovely as Mildred could be such a scheming, cold-blooded little creature. It was hard to believe, but why. he asked himself, did she want to encourage a kid like Harold if she wasn't after his money? Pamela had put the question to him when she told him why Mildred had been fired, and Stephen had tried unsuccessfully to answer it with credit to Mildred. Since then it had lodged in his nund and grown into accusation, still unanswered. "I suppose Mr. Dazel cabled dad about it,” Pamela had said to Stephen. "It was common talk around the hotel.” "I can't believe it," Stephen said then. "Mildred isn't a fortune hunter.” Pamela shrugged. “Well. I happen to know that she called Harold up to take her out that afternoon you were supposed to go picnicking with her, and couldn't. By the way, you didn't make that sale, did you. Irresistible? I thought not, I sent the customer around myself, just so you couldn’t get away.” . . "You nervy little . . .” "Don’t bother. Harold already has used all the words in the dictionary on me. You’d have to coin anew one to be original. But you needn't kick; you learned something. "No one stayed at home pining because you didn't show up. Harold stepped right in and subbed for you. And Harold has stepped right in a lot of times. Why, he was taking Mildred up to Westchester the very night her mother broke her arm . . "Burned it.” “No matter. Harold was there. And. I don't suppose you would believe it if I told you all, but you ■nan bet it was enough to convince dad that we had a dangerous woman around, so he got rid of her. “It wouldn’t be so bad if Harold was old enough to know what he’s doing, and besides, he's not exactly strong minded, which is no compliment to Miss Lawrence. She’d have looked better picking on a man.” b a AND that was just the criticism that Stephen couldn't overlook. Mildred wasn’t in love with the boy. Somehow he was sure of that. He had no idea that she was in love with himself either, but, well, she hadn’t been exactly ill pleased to see him, he remembered. If she were crazy about Harold she w'ould not have any time for a guy whose tailor might as well have left half the pockets off his suits for all the need he had of them, Stephen reasoned. No, it looked as if Mildred was trying to eat her cake and have it too. Stephen's sporting instinct couldn't assimilate that. But it was hard to understand. He decided lie and better keep away and give Harold his chance in a clear field. Worse things could hap-

early American wallpaper. How had Tony managed? Certainly Annabelle had not the faintest, suspicion that her young mistress had used her shamelessly. Probably Tony had telephoned Annabelle from Darrow that afternoon, asking her to buy her a pair of walking shoes, and to call back that evening at the Jonson farm to assure her that the shoes had been bought and would be sent. Something like that anyway. A cold shiver ran over Crystal's nerves. Tony being clever and sly! Tony! Tony, whose whole life had been an open book! A sort of frenzy seized Crystal. What was she thinking of—sitting hefe while Tony ruined her life! She must do something, do it quickly. Again her thoughts flew to Sandy Ross. If any one could save Tony, it was Sandy Ross. Her hand went out to the telephone again, but before the receiver was off the hook Crystal knew that she could not ask the young aviator's help in this crisis. If Tony suddenly had gone in for lies and concealment, the person of all the world she would most want to deceive, so that she should not lose his friendship, was Sandy Ross > (To Be Continued)

pen to the boy than being married far his dad's money, he reflected, thinking how charming Mildred had fitted into a home background. The memory picture stirred up a sort of vague longing in him for something like that in his own future. Not an uptown flat, but a little early American cottage, say, with a real bay window, a dog that could be taught to jump through one of those half-and-half doors when the upper part was open, a few yards of dirt to dig in and a bench where he could build cabinets and things. Stephen brought himself up with a halt. “I’ll be adding a nursery next,” he grinned, and turned his thoughts to the realities of life. Foremost, there was the matter of obtaining a loan staring him in the face, though he hated to look at it. The boys had been pretty decent about letting him have money, even those who had ragged him for stepping out of his class. Stephen knew they referred to his going about with Pamela Judson. She was out of his class, but Stephen was not a victim of an inferiority complex. So long as there were ladders to climb a fellow could get anywhere. He didn't intend to stay on the bottom rung. And when he reached the point where he could provide a comfortable home for a wife he would go after the girl he wanted, if there was one, whether she breathed the rarefied air at the top or was to be found struggling with the masses lower down.

IN the meantime he found playing around with Pamela rather expensive. But he considered the money spent a good investmnet; through her he met a number of likely buyers for his car. And then, of course, it was pleasant. Pamela had a way . . . well, he couldn't object when she chose to curl up against him and coax. He wasn’t altogether sure that she wouldn’t turn out to be the girl he wanted to marry. For one thing he knew he was becoming jealous of Huck Connor. The persistency of the fellow In hanging around Pamela annoyed him. It annoyed Pamela, too, for new. that Stephen was back in her fold she had no further use for Huck. She wasn’t sure that Stephen had been even partially lured to return by fear of the competition Huck had offered. She rather believed it was entirely due to the thorough manner in which she had disillusioned him in regard to Mildred. a a a ON that score Pamela felt she could congratulate herself, and forget Mildred. But Huck was a. problem. Encouraged during Stephen's neglect of her. he now refused to be overlooked. Pamela frowned into the mirror of the dressing table before which she sat skillfully applying an eyelash darkener to her pale lashes. Then she shrugged nonchalantly. “After tonight he’ll surely fold up and fade away,” she told herself, blinking her eyes for a better inspection of her work. Her assurance was based on a plan she had concocted for showing Huck once and for all how little he mattered to her. (To Be Continued) SENATOR ASKS RELEASE OF MOONEY, BILLINGS Calls Imprisonment of Labor Leaders a Crime. B" Times Special WASHINGTON, April 16.—Calling the continued imprisonment of Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings a “frightful miscarriage of justice,” Senator Thomas D. Schall of Minnesota today appealed for their immediate release. Schall made his appeal in Plain Talk, a monthly magazine. He declared that the injustice done Mooney and Billings, confined since 1916 for alleged bombing of a San Francisco preparedness parade, was an indictment of United States justice paralleling the Dreyfus case in France. He pointed out that the judge, then attorney-general of California, ten jurors who held the men guilty and other figures on the prosecuting side all had declared their belief in the men’s innocence and expressed the opinion they were “framed.” TRAIN TIME ALTERED “Broadway Limited” to Run on Daylight Saving Schedule.
