Of coarse, Mr. Mallowe. That would onJy be just. I am glad that I may t perhaps hare a chance to repay 'some !of the kindness which, in your great hearted charity,. you are'ijowbestowjing upon me. - I will see that my I father's attorneys attend to the matter, as soon as possible. It may be some little time before the estate is i settled, as of course it must be horribly complicated and involved, but I will bring this to their immediate attention." f "You are a very brave young woman, Miss Lawton, and I am glad that you are taking such a clear-sighted view of this double catastrophe which has come upon you. Ah, I had almost forgotten; here is a duplicate of the mortgage which I hold upon this house, which your father made out to me some months ago." Anita scarcely glanced at it, but laid it quietly by upon the table, as though It were of small interest to her. "Mr. Mallowe, although I understand that Mr. Rockamore, being a promoter, was more closely associated with my father in various projects than you, I believe that he always considered you his best friend. Can you tell me what it was which brought my father's affairs to such a pass as this?" "Dear young lady, do not ask me. It
is a painful suoject to discuss, and as you are a mere child, you cannot be supposed to understand the financial manoeuvres of a man of your father's passion for gigantic operations. Tears of success had possibly made him over confident; and then you know, we are none of us infallible; are liable to make mistakes, at one time or another. Your father Interested himself daringly in many schemes which we more conservative ones would have hesitated to enter; indeed, we no only hesitated, but repeatedly declined when your father placed the propositions be: fore us. As you know, unfortunately, he was a man who would have resented any attempt at advice, and although for a long time we have seen his approaching financial downfall, and have helped him in every way we could to avert it, he would not relinquish his plans while there was yet time. Do not ask me to go into further details. It is really most distressing. Your father's attorneys will understand the matter fully when the estate is finally settled." "I cannot understand it," Anita murmured. "I thought my father's judgment almost infallible. However, Mr. Mallowe, I cannot express my gratitude to you and my father's other associates for your great kindness to
ward me. Believe me. I am deeply affected by it. I shall n'ever forget what you have done." "Do not speak of it, dear Miss Lawton. I only wish for your" sake that your poor father had heeded poorer heads than his, but it is too late to speak of that now. We will do all in our power to aid you, rest assured of that. Should you require anything, you have only to call upon Mr. Rockamore, Mr. Carlis or myself." When he had bowed himself out, Anita flew to the table, seized the duplicate of the mortgage which he had given her, and slipped it between the pages of a book lying there. Then she went directly to ljer dressing room where on a little stand near her bed reposed a telephone instrument which had not been there three days previously. "Grosvenor 0760," she demanded, and when a voice replied to her at the other end of the wire, she asked quei ulously, "Is not my new gown ready yet? If it is, will you kindly send it over at once? I have also found your last quarterly bill, and I think there is something wrong with it. I will send it back by the messenger, who brings my gown. Thank you; good-by." More Tomorrow.

I did not learn until after she had left at noon today that I would be obliged to go away, and I don't know her address so I must trouble you to deliver my message. That is the chief excuse I must plead " for waiting on the corner near Baird's for you. Am I pardoned?" "Indeed you are," Julia said, with 1 a bright smile, and Delaine flushed with pleasure.

"I mean that I have made it a rule since I came to the city never to accept favors from any one whom I do not know well," she explained. "I don't see how I can make an exception in your case. Do you, Mr. Delaine?" The man walked along beside her in silence for a moment. Then he spoke slowly and seriously. "Come and sit in the little park in the square for a few minutes, won't ycu? I want to talk to you." She nodded in silence, and together they strolled to the square. The grass shone like emerald in the late afternoon sunlight; here and there on the shabby green benches derelict hulks of humanitv were stranded. The two chose a spot in the shade and sat

"Miss Marvin," he said bluntly, "I wish that we could be friends you ai;d 1. I'm not a socialist, but I'll be
hanged if I can see why the fact that we both work for our living should stand between us and friendship. To be perfectly frank I have liked you fever since I first aw you. The oftener I speak to you the more you interest me. Won't you just put aside your rules and scruples in this one case and let us 'just be pleasant conventional friends? For the life of me, I do not understand your reason for avoiding me so persistently. I am not a cigarette smoking, liquor drinking, black mustached villain. I have few women friends. I want very much to count you as one of them." He paused, and as Julia did not reply, he went on: "Another thing I have to say. I want to apologize for asking you to take lunch with me yesterday. I never did such a thing on so short an acquaintance before. I had no right to do it then." (Read More Tomorrow)

picking up acorns, when Billy e:id: "Come along and let us go down to the river in the woods and fish." "There are no fish there," said Benny. "What is the use of going?" "Come along, Bobby," said Billy "let the baby stay behind if he likes," and off they ran. "Boo-hoo, boo-hoo," cried Benny, running after them and making a terrible noise, so that Mrs. Owl was awakened frond her day nap and poked her head out of the window.
Helen and Warren; Their Married Life
By MRS. MABEL HERBERT URNER Originator of "Their Married Life," Author of "The Journal of a iseglected Wife," "The Woman Alone," Etc.
"Dear, 'this is the sunny side," objected Helen, as Warren moved two camp chairs near the railing. "It won't be when we get started the boat turns." Shading her eyes from the glare, Helen gazed down at the gangplank, crowded with baggage laden passengers. There was a rush for chairs and places. The upper deck was filling up. A hoarse blast, a shuddering of machinery and they swung off. Until now the St. Lawrence had been to Helen only a name the outlet of the Great Lakes of her school days. She Temembered the very map In her Mitchell's geography, with the blueinked river up near the margin. And this was the St. Lawrence this broad stretch of sun-glinted water.. And that was Quebec they were leaving that picturesque old city with its gray turrets surmounting the rocky clifs. "Well, we had three pretty good days there after all," mused Warren., looking back at the fortress-like chateau. "That was a rotten place we struck the first night, but we were mighty comfortable at the Frontenac. Here's, where we turn. Now along here we'll get some fine scenery." With his hat pulled over his eyes, he settled hack to watch the densely wooded shores, now riotous with October coloring. It was an ideal day for a river trip. The water, reflecting the cloudless sky, was an indigo blue, frothed into white caps by the breeze. "Oh. dear, take a deep breath." inhaled Helen. "This air's wonderful!" "Get that conversation back of
us?" His tone was guarded. "That's a promoter trying to rope in that old couple." In a swift side glance Helen saw a well-gToomed, aggressive-looking man talking earnestly with a typical old farm couple. "Two thousand Invested now will net you just double in two years,' in a deep, convincing voice. "This is the last block of stock at fifty cents. Next month you'd have to pay seventy." Helen could not catch the woman's mumbled answer, but she could see her bare, work-roughened hands nervously fumbling with a shabby handbag. "Why, if we didn't want to distrib
ute this stock. I could've sold this whole block last week to a man in Toronto who's worth a couple of million. He was sore when he couldn't get but five thousand shares." "Pretty raw," muttered Warren. "You'd think even those hayseeds wouldn't fall for that." "Dear, what is it?" anxiourly. "What's he trying to sell?" "Oh, some gold-brick scheme. He'll land 'em, too. The old lady has the money she's the one he's after. As though to escape his importunities, the woman rose, smoothed her black skirt and walked to the other side of the boat. (More Tomorrow.)

Newspaper Syndicate, New York. "What in the world is the matter
with you, Benny Squirrel?" she asked. "No one can get a wink of sleep in these woods since you'squirrels came here to live." "They are running away from me," screamed Benny, louder than ever. Benny caught up to the others just as they reached the river. Pretty soon Bobby Squirrel was fishing or playing, from a stone right beside the river, when "splash" went a branch which Eilly and Benny had cut from a tree, and the water went into Bobby'e eyes. This frightened him so that he, dropped his fish-line, and when he tried to make a grab for it he lost his balance and over he went into the river. Billy and Benny were frightened: they dropped the branch and tried to reach out to catch Bobby by the tail, but over went Billy then, and Benny more frightened than ever, didn't know what to do for a second, and then he saw a piece of wood, which gave him an idea. He threw it into the water and poked it with a stick toward his brothers, who were splashing about and crying to Benny to save them. .Billy managed to get hold of the piece of wood and pull himself on to it, and then he helped Bobby on, and they were saved; but then instead of floating back to the bank, the little bark sailed right away and went down stream. "Oh. I want to go, too." cried Benny, thinking they were sailing away on purpose and leaving him behind. But neither Bobby or Billy could stop the bark and off they sailed. What would have happened to them I do not know, if they had not met Mme, Duck out sailing with her six ducklings. "Why, Bobby and Billy Squirrel, does your mother know you are out sailing?" she asked. "Please Mme. Duck, we don't want to sail," said Billy; "we just can't help it." "Splash your wings, splash your
wings, children' said Mme. Duck, "and get these children back to land. I expect they are as frightened at the water as you would be to find yourselves in a tree." Without much trouble Mme. Duck made the little bark sail back to the bank, and it didn't take Bobby and Billy a second to jump on the ground. "Thank you very much, Mme.Duck," they said. All this time Benny, who had run home and told his mother what had happened, was crying, because he thought his brothers were drowned, for his mother told him that instead of running away from him, as he said they were, his brothers could not help themselves and were probably at the bottom of. the river by this time, and he would never see them again. His mother began to cry and Benny began to be sorry he had quarreled with Billy and Bobby so many times. "Oh, your poor brothers!" cried his mother. "Oh. my poor brothers!" cried Benny, "I will never quarrel with them again if they come back." The sun was just setting when Bobby and Billy Squirrel reached home, wet and hungry, and Mrs. Sguirrel was just closing the door for the night when she saw them.
"Oh, my poor children! Are you' alive or have ypur ghosts come back? she cried. 5 "Oh, we are so hungry' and .wetl t cried Bobby. "We are not drowned at all. and. mother, you know there are no such things as ghosts. You told us so yourself." "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I was so frightened I don't know what I am saying," said Mrs. Squirrel. "How did you get out of the water?" . . Bobby and Billy told her how Mme. Duck helped them. "And do give us some supper, mother." said Bobby. "We are almost starved. ... Benny Squirrel was very glad his brothers were not drowned, and while they were eating their supper he jumped out of his bed and said: "I am sorry I quarreled with you. because I didn't know how much I liked you both until I thought you were drowned. I thought at first you were sailing away from me on purpose." 1 "We should have been drowned if If hadn't been for you." said Bobby, "and we are never going to quarrel with you any more, either."
