&0 Cable . . Hy .

GEORGE BARR McCUTCHEON, Avtbor of "B.verly of Graoctark. Etc

1 He -Went and had a few minutes alone with her because be was shrewd enough to drop In before 5. No one else came until after that hour had struck. lie was studiously reserved and considerate. There was nothing in ' his manner to indicate that he was there as anything more than the most casual slpper of the beverage that society brews. It was left for her to make the advances. "We must come to an understanding," she said abruptly. "I cannot endure the suspense, the uncertainty" Bansemer raised his brows with, yrave condescension. "Then you have not confessed to Mr. Cable?" he asked, with perfect unconcern. "Do you know I was rather hop- ' Ing that you would have saved me the ' trouble of doing so." "It means so much to" "Ah, I see you find it hard to lose the ' ground you have gained socially." He stirred his tea steadily. "It isn't that. I don't care for that It's for Jane and David. I can only offer to buy your silence, nothing ' moro," she said with hurried words. "I own shares in the railroad. They're worth $20,000. Will yo take them?" "My dear," he said, leaning quite . close to her, "I am not seeking to blackmail you as you seem to imagine. I have only tried to tell you that I love . you." "Oh!" she exclaimed, with a shudder of disgust. His face was quite close to hers. She could feel his warm breath on her cheek, and she drew away . quickly. Ills hand hovered close to ' hers as It lay in her lap. There was an eyewitness to this sin- . gle picture in the brief scene. Jane had. started downstairs. From the , upper steps she could look into the ' drawing room below. She could not help seeing Bansemer's fervent attitude. She heard nothing that he sa,iL : The girl paused in surprise. A feeling as of dread she could not explain : crept over her. A chCl struck Into her heart. It was as If she had awakened from a sweet sleep to look out upon a bleak, horrid morning. Involuntarily she shrank back, quite beyond the actual vision, but not free ' from it She stood straight and tense and silent at the top of the stairs, her hand clasping the rail. She could hear her heart throbs plainly. There was no mistaking the picture as It had burst upon her unsuspecting eyes. A great fear, a dark uncertainty, welled up in her heart. It was not until the butler admitted other callers that she found the courage to turn her eyes toward the drawing room. Although she succeeded In hiding the fact, it was difficult to approach and greet James Bansemer with the naturalness of the unsuspecting. His manner was beyond reproach, and yet for the first time she saw the real light fn his black eyes. She talked to elm as if nothing had happened to make her distrustful, but no self control in the world could have checked the growth of that remorseless thing called suspicion. For her own sake, for her mother's, for Graydon's, she tried to pat It down. Instead it grew greater and stronger as she looked Into his eyes, for in them she saw the light that heretofore had escaped her notice. And this was the father of the man whom she was to marry, the one whom she loved with all her heart and soul! This the man who would degrade her own mother! Her mother she looked at her with a new question In her eyes. Half a dozen people eameand went.' James Bansemer was the last to leave. Re met the girl's tense. Inquiring look from time to time, but be could not have felt Its meaning. There was nothing In her voice which might have warned him, although it sounded strained and without warmth on her own ears. In spite of herself she wondered how be would act In saying good by to ber mother. Although she tried with all the might of her will to look away, she could not take her eyes from the pah as Bansemer arose to depart His manner was most circumspect. The hand clasp was brief, even formal, and there was no look in his eyes to Indicate the presence of anything but the most casual emotions. After his departure Mrs. Cable turned to Jane and complained of a frightful headache and went to her room to lie down' for awhile before dinner. Jane's gaze followed her steadily as she ascended the stairs. Then Bhe walked to the window and looked out upon the street a huddred perplexities In her mind. Her father was standing in the middle of the sidewalk, looking down the darkening street His cab was turning the corner below, showing that he had been standing there for longer than a minute. She watched him with Interest What had happened in the street to hold his Interest so closely? It was Jane who opened the door and let him in. As she kissed his cold cheek she noticed the frown on his brow and caught the strange gleam in his eyes. HIS greeting was less warm than usual, and he went to his room upstairs without removing his bat or - coat below. But not before he sent a quick, keen glance about the drawing room to end if James Bansemer had been the single visitor of the afternoon. "Where is your mother?" he asked from the stairs, without looking back. "She has Just gone to her room, Jane replied, a chill shooting through her veins. Some strange, unnatural Impulse compelled her to add. as if the explanation were Just and necessary. "We have had a lot of people In , drinking tea. and mother has a headache. She watched him ascend the steps . and turn into his smoking room. The door closed sharply, and a wave of inexplicable relief rushed over her. Her hands were cold. She went to the fireplace and held them out to the blaxe. Her. ears were a text tor sounds rxora

a"6ove -alert w'itli a strange loal wfileu choked her with Its persistence. She dreaded the opening of her fathers door and his footsteps as they crossed to her mother's room. She waited for these sounds, minute after minute, but they did not come. The fire would not give warmth to ber hands: the chill seemed to spread. In her new . consciousness she felt that a tragedy was just begun.

"That Settles It.

Many a housewife has made that remark after using her first cake of Easy Task laundry soap. Easy Task is white. It is pure. It dissolves dirt and grease almost instantly. These qualities will convert almost any woman. It will convert you if you will give It a ehance. A five cent cake will prove it.
