"Lost a pound,” she reflected with melancholy pleasure. “And since I forgot to set out the cream bof'r after all. and haven't a trace of appetite anyway, I’ll probably lose another pound by tomorrow morning. It seems—” and she made a bravely humorous face at herself in the bathroom mirror—“that unrequited love has its compensations.” t She breakfasted on two thin triangle' of toast, made on the electric toaster which Willis had given her when she had taken the small apartment a year before, and sipped sca!dmg*hot black coffee with faint regret for the missing cream. For the first time since she had been its mistress she tidied up the miniature kitchenete without congratulating herself that it. was hers. • Looks like rain,” she discovered, parting the gold silk marquisette curtains that shrouded her big double front window- “I must say it’s nice of the weather to be sympathetic. Black lizard skin pumps—doesn't hurt them to get wet; gun metal stockings—if there's a runner in them I’ll sit right down and howl; my dark blue crepe de chine —wish I had a black to suit my mood." she told herself with bitter humor as she laid out her clothes When she was completely dressed she surveyed her reflection with wry dissatisfaction. Disgustedly she jerked on her rainy-day coat, snatched her umbrella from the closet and hurried away toward the hardest task she had ever set herself in her life. a a a \ 5 she swayed by a strap in the trolley car. her eyes fixed nnseeinglv upon the morning paper she held in her right hand, she rehearsed her speech of resignation: “Oh. Mr. Morgan, can you spare a minute? I'm awfully sorry, but I've decided to leave. Yes. sir. Saturday week. If you can get someone to take my place by then. Os course I'll be glad to help train anew girl—” But that was silly, she knew John Curtis Morgan would never let her reach that point uninterrupted. As she listened, in imagination, to his amazed protests, color glowed richly in her cheeks. Then shame jerked her up short. "I do believe, Nan Carroll, you're looking forward to resigning just to hear him beg you to stay! You'll write him a nice, formal note, you will, and you'll tell him a whopping big lie about having accepted a

THE NEW Saint-Sinnor ByJlimeJlustin C 1928 MA SUVttXIHC-

It did not occur to Tony Tarver that she should make an effort to chat brightly with Mary Burns. She did not feel bright or chatty or friendly. Instead, she gave up her bedside chair to the girl-next-door, sprawled her own long slim body in an oldfashioned rocking chair near the window and looked on with drawn brows, scowling eyes and tightened mouth. Her withdrawal apparently was a relief to Mary Burns, who had been obvously at a loss for words which possibly could interest this dazzling creature from a world entirely foreign to her own. She seemed glad to be free to chatter along, in her Southern drawl, with Sandy's mother, with whom she was on the best of terms. Her conversation was full of little clucking sounds of endearment and of strange but picturesque phrases which Tony had never heard befor. She had said. “You'd die laughin' to hear Sandy mock me." but at the very thought of the teasing. intimate friendship which that remark implied. Tony clenched her hands until the nails cut the palms. But Tony listened, and herself knew the impulse to imitate that light drawl, broken so frequently by a shallow, breathless little laugh: ‘ Yes'm. Miz Ross, is sure is grand to have a day off. Sometimes I think I'll simply ale. standin’ on my feet day in and day out. . . . You know what, Miz Ross? These new shoes of mine are size two and a half. They ac'snully are! “I thought T and pass out when the shoe clerk said I couldn't wear a two any more. And just a year ago when I came Nawth I was wearing a size one a.id a half. I honestly was. That'a what comes of standin' on your feet all day. “Sandy thinks my feet and hands are funny, they're so teeny, but lawsy, there are hundreds of girls down home that's got feet as little as mine, and—Ooh. did I joggle the bed and hurt your poor darlin’ foot? Mary's awful sorry.” and Tony saw’ her nuzzle a kiss into Mom Ross's plump neck. “I was jtet thinking." Mom Ross confessed with a chuckle, “that that poor darlin' foot’ of mine takes a size seven shoe! Who's your date tonight, Mary? Don’t tetl me you am't got one, 'cause I’ll know beiAr."

I better position—more money, great!er opportunity, larger city. Make | it very formal and final, .so he won't ! have the nerve to ask you to stay." “Oh. but I can’t slap him in the face like that!" Nan's heart pro--1 tested. “We've been such good friends. I'd destroy some of his beautiful faith in human nature if I repaid all his kindness and friendship like that!” "There’s no other way," her j common sense scolded her heart. ! "You can’t say: ‘Please, Mr. Mor- ! san, I am very sorry, but I’ve just discovered that I'm in love with you, and since you're married I’d j better leave today.’ Os course,” she mused, as the car clanged down Main street, “I could tell him a temporary lie—tell him I’m leaving to be married to Willis Todd, then tell Willis that I love him, not John Curtis Morgan, and be safely [ married to Willis within a week—”

a a a ! “T~x AYDREAMING, Miss Carroll?” 1 A business man who had offices in her building touched her arm. “Here’s our corner.” Five minutes later she was fitting I her key into the lock of the door labeled “Suite 709. John Curtis i Morgan, Attorney-at-Law.’’ Her key, j her office, her “boss”—and soon to| j be hers no longer. She could scarce- : , ly see the familiar room for tears as she sprung the lock and closed ‘ the door gently. The floor beneath the letter drop 1 in the door was littered with early , mail and she stopped to pick it up. Ten minutes of nine. Evans, the clerk, and young Blake, the lawyer on salary, had not arrived, of i course, but for once she was not i contemptuous. They did not love i the place as she did. Why should , they? Morgan was only an em- j : ployer to them, a source of income ' but, also of hard work. Suddenly Nan envied those two ! absent men with a!! her heart. They I could stay on and on, see him every day, serve him. share humbly in his triumphs, while she who loved I him—“l won’t cry!” she told herself fiercely, as she slit envelopes and extracted their contents bills, | court notices, crackling legal dou- | ments, letters, advertising circulars. “I've simply got to remember that I'm darned lucky to have had j two years with him before I realized I was making a fool of myself. And that I'm still more lucky that he's the kind of man he is, instead of a rotter who would be tickled to death to make love to his secretary behind his wife's back. “I must say I have good taste in love,” she congratulated herself ; with the bitter humor that had been born in her heart the night before. “Even if I told him I was in love with him I could stay right on here until T was old and gray and he’d ncv%r take tne slightest advantage of my love. I couldn’t ; love him so much if I wasn’t sure of that. . . Oh-h-h-h! Whac in the ! world—?” Jerked out of self-pity and into i 1 temporary forgetfulness, Nan stared J incredulously at the single-sheet j letter she had just drawn from a | plain cheap envelope. Her eyes, which had glanced mechanically j down the sheet, went back to the, [beginning of the message: “J. C. Morgan, Esq.,” it began ! oddly, in small, neatly printed let--1 ters, calculated to baffle a handwriting expert. "If you value your peace i of mind you'd better lay off certain I witnesses you subpenaed last night ;in the Grace Cox case. Stick to | Grace's friends and Jet her enemies I alone, or you may stir up a nest

[ The vivid little thing bridled and i laughed, and for some reason the pain that had Tony's heart in its clutch tightened a little. “Yes’m, I have got a date, but shucks, it don’t amount to a hill jo’ beans!" Mary Burns confessed. "It's just that >oy in the necktie department I was fellin’ you and Sandy about. My! I thought Sandy and die when I told him his name ; was Appeljack—didn't you?" Tony saw delighted color flood | the dark, vivid little face at the very idea of Sandy Ross's being jealous. “Well, he ain't got no call to be jealous of Roy Appeljack or , any other man.” she protested. “You i know Miz Ross. I wouldn't look at i another man. much less have a date with one, if Sandy wasn’t busy putterin’ around that old airplane of his so much. It's just awful. I didn't have but one date with Sandy the whole week before he went to New York. Course I'd a heap sight rather go with Sandy, but a girl's got to have some fun—” Tony heard no more, for there was a sudden crashing and thundering in her ears. The other two, who had heard nothing, went on chatting comfortably (To be Continued.)

of hornets that will sting YOU for your pains.” The bald thread was signed ironI lcally, “A Friend,” but the real sig- | nificance of the message lay in the j postscript: “P S.—Do you know where and with whom your wife , was on the night of Sept. 11? There are ways of getting this highly interesting information into the court i record—if necessary." a a a NAN'S first emotion when she had reread the blackmailing letter was furious anger against her writer. How’ did anyone dare to try so contemptibly to influence John Curtis Morgan to “throw” a trial? Didn’t the fool writer have sense enough to know that Morgan would use this letter as an additional weapon in his fight for Grace Cox’s vindication? Imagine trying to blackmail John Curtis Morgan, the most fearless, the most upright man, in the world! It was easy to picture his righteous wrath— But in picturing John Curtis Morgan as he would look when he read the vile thing, Nan saw him reading that postscript, that nasty insinuation which was even now crawling about in her own mind, never-to-be-forgotten. Os course Morgan would snap his fingers at the insinuation, attribute it contemptuously to a * illainous fool’s obvious effort to frighten him. But—he would have read it, and he would not forget it. The words would rankle deep in his mind. It would hurt him more than he would ever admit that an anonymous writer had dared sully his wife’s name No, no! She picked up the letter. folded it with the tips of her fingers as if she were afraid of being poisoned; thrust it hastily into her handbag. He should not see it, she vowed, her mouth and eyes grim. For tw’o years she had served him in big and little ways, sparing him every possible unpleasantness. Just because she now knew she loved him, wliy should she stop serving him? But a sudden thought made her hand quiver on the clasp of het bag: Was she truly serving him in keeping this anonymous threat from reaching him? What if there was an ugly truth behind the sinister threat in that postscript September 11—September 11—Nan knit her eyebrows, then swiftly turned back the loose leaves of her daily calendar. Yes! On September 11 Morgan had been out of town—Chicago! She remembered now, remembered how surprised she had been that Iris Morgan had not accompanied her husband as she invariably did w’hen he went to the larger city on business. Morgan had been surprised, too—and hurt- Nan had heard him pleading with her over the telephone, offering gifts, dinner parties, shows—- * a ts FEAR for him closed icily about Nan’s heart- What if the writer meant this warning in all seriousness? Did she have any right to withhold it from him, let him go unwarned to the courthouse that morning? But—and she felt dizzy with conflicting reasoning—if she showed it to him, as she was dutybound to do, he would scorn to profit by the warning, might, in fact, precipitate a terrible crisis byintroducing the anonymous threat into the evidence. And even if he believed or feared that the writer had "something on” his wife—as he certainly would not believe! —he would proceed with the Grace Cox case exactly as he had planned. She knew him well enough to be sure of that. So—why let him see the contemptible thing? Spare him. shield him—- “ Even if it was true I wouldn't want him to know it, not even if it meant— ’’ But she checked her thoughts with horror of herself. “I love him well enough to hope there is not an atom of truth behind that terrible letter,” her heart cried. “But —if he goes blindly on at the trial today, will the blackmailer make good his threat? There are ways of getting this highly interesting information into the court record—if necessary'-—oh, I don't know what to do!” Her fingers were upon the clasp of her handbag when the door opened and John Curtis Morgan hurried into the room, smiling with confident cheerfulness. “Hello, junior partner;” he greeted her affectionately. “Going to be a great day today! Caught that Fleming woman just as she was skipping town last night. But it’s in the paper Say, where's that memorandum on McTeagle? I couldn’t find it in my briefcase last night—”

There are two types of paraenute packs, one on which the avialot sits and the other is worn on the aviator’s lap or chest. The latter is considered the most efficient because it enables the aviator to work on the package in case the rip cord fails to operate. The highest parachute jump on record was made November 1. 1921 at Kansas City, Miss., by Sergeant Chambers who descended 26,000 feet. How many miles is it by rail from New York to San Francisco? 3.180.
