"For trouble he was in, ma'am, when he paid me yesterday in full even to the sbavin' mag which I'd bought for his dresser, and meant him to keep for a present and picked up bag and baggage and left. I always did think Friday was an unlucky day! He stood in the vestibule and shook both mf hands, and there wasn't a dry eye fa his head or mine! "'Mis' Lindsay! he says to me, Just like I'm tellin it to you. 'Mis' Lindsay, I can't stay here no longer. I wisht to heavlngs I could, for you've given me a real home, he says, 'but I'm not at the bank no more, and I'm eoing away. I'm in trouble! he saye. j T needn't tell you where I'm goin for ; I ain't got a friend wholl ask after

me or care, but I just want to thank j you for all your kindness to me, an' to ask you to accept this present, and! give this dollar-bill to Delia, when she j

comes in from the fish-store. - "This is what he give me as a present, ma'am!" Mrs. Lindsay pointed dramatically to a German silver brooch set with a doubtful garnet, at her throat. "And I was so broke up over it all, that I forgot and give Delia the whole dollar, Instead of just a quarter, like I should've done. I s'pose I'd ought to write to his folks, but I don't

know where they are. He comes from up-state somewhere, and I never was one to pry in a boarder's letters or bureau-drawers. I'm just worried sick about it all!" . Mrs. Lindsay would have made a superb actress. When the interview was at an end and Mrs. Pennold had rejoined her husband, they discussed the disappear I ance of Alfred Hicks from every standpoint and came finally to the conclu- ; sion that the young bank-clerk's sporting proclivities had brought him to ruin. Meanwhile, in a modest cottage in Meadow Lane, in the Bronx, a small card reading "Room to Let" had been removed from the bay window, and just behind its curtains a young man cat, his eyes fastened upon the house across the way the fourth from thej end of tbfi line. He was a tall, dark

young man with a smooth face and firm-set jaw, and his new landlady knew him as Guy Morrow. All at once, as he sat watching, the

door of the cottage opened, and a ' girl came our. There was nothing re-

markable about her; she was quite a common type of girl; slender, not too tall, with a wealth of red-brown hair and soft hazel eyes; yet there was something about her which made Guy Morrow catch his breath; and throwing caution to the winds, he parted the curtains and leaned forward, looking down upon her. As 6he reached the gate, his gaze drew her.s and she lifted her gentle eyes and looked into his. Then her lids drooped swifty; a

faint flush tinged her delicate face,; and with lowered head she walked ! quickly on. j Guy Morrom sank back in his chair, i

and after the warm glow which had surged up so suddenly within him, a chill crept about his heart. What could that slender, brown-haired, clear-eyed girl be to the man he had been sent to spy upon to Jimmy Brunell, the forger? More Tomorrow.

Copyright. 1916. by the McClure Mr. Bear had missed his meat and pies and cake and many good things he had in his closet, so one night he thought he would watch and see who was stealing his food. He had just cooked a nice fat pig find a piece of roast beef and put them on the shelf in his pantry, and he did Jiot intend anyone should get them if watching could prevent them from being stolen. So Mr. Bear sat down with his gun

by the window to watch, but Mr. Bear blinked aid blinked, and after a while

he fell asleep and snored so loudly that he did not hear or see the thief. When morning came he jumped up rnd looked in the pantry, and sure enough the food was gone and his basket as well. So off trotted Mr. Bear to Judge Dog. who lived over the hill, and complained of Mr. Fox. "We will arrest him at once," said Judge Dog, "and have him tried for stealing.' So Judge Dog sent Policeman Dog and Policeman Bear to arrest Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox was in bed when they reached his house and could not come to the door, he said, because he was sick and had a lame shoulder. "Well, we will come in," said PoJiceman Dog, pushing the door open. "We just want to look about a bit." "Come right in," said Mr. Fox with a loud groan. "1 am sorry I am too sick to give you a better welcome, but I am a very sick fellow, I can tell you." And then he groaned and groaned until Policeman Bear said: "He is really too sick to have been out last night. I guess we better be going." "Don't be too sure of that," said Policeman Dog. "He is sly enough for anything." Mr. Fox pulled the bedclothes up

arcund his head and ears and groaned louder than ever, but he was watching the policemen all the time, and he was smiling, too. Let them hunt." he thought. "They will not find anything but the basket and that I painted red, and it must be dry by this time. Mr. Bear cannot swear it is his, so I am safe." But Policeman Dog found some bones in the pantry, and the basket, and while it was red and Mr. Bear had said his was just a plain basket. Policeman Dog noticed that the paint was very fresh-looking and a little Bticky, too. "Well, Brother Fox, I guess you will have to come with us; Judge Dog .wants to see you," he said.

Newspaper Syndicate, New York. "But I am not able to walk, I am a sick fellow," groaned Mr. Fox. ' Oh! we will carry you; we have a wheelbarrow right outside," paid Policeman Dog. Mr. Fox groaned and groaned, but it did no good, Policeman Dog and Policeman Bear put him in the barrow and trundled him over to Judge Dog. "What have you to say to Mr. Bear's charge, Mr. Fox?" asked Judge Dog.

i our nonor, i am a sick fellow and not well enough to be here, but I must defend my good name," groaned Mr. Fox. "Here am I with a lame shoulder and not able to lift my paw to my head. Now, how, your honor, could I have carried off that heavy basket Mr. Bear so wrongly charges me with stealing? "Besides, was not his basket just a plain basket? He said it was; and this one found in my house is red. I feel sure you will defend me from this base fellow who is trying to take away my good name." And the Fox fell to groaning again.

I do indeed, feel sorry for you, Mr. Fox, and as you say there is no evidence against you; besides that, your shoulder being so lame you could not have possibly have carried that heavy basket. Xow, to show I am kindly disposed toward you and am sorry for getting you out of bed when you are so sick, I am going to give you a bag of things to take home, and you will find two fat ducks besides other

things, "The court will now adjourn while I get the bag for Mr. Fox." Mr. Fox smiled a broad smile at Mr. Bear, who looked crestfallen and started off thinking he had been treated very badly by Judge Dog. But Judge Dog coming in just then with the bag told him to wait a minute. "Here you are, Mr. Fox," said the judge. "I hope you will forgive me for all the trouble I have made you;

ana started on. He had reached the door of the courtroom, and was just stepping out when Judge Dog sent Policemen Dog and Bear after him. "Bring him back" wau all he said. Mr. Fox looked surprised when he found himself again a prisoner. "Mr. Fox," said Judge Dog, "if you can carry off that bag of stones so easily you could have carried off Mr. Bear's food, and I think you are guilty.

REMEDY

"Oh, Warren; I wouldn't enjoy it alone." "Why not?" briskly. "But this afternoon I thought you might go with me. They make another trip at two." "Now, don't count on me. Half a dozen men here I want to see." Helen finished her omlet in disappointed silence. The prospect of taking a sight-seeing car alone was not alluring. As they left the breakfast room Warren stopped at the hotel office. "Does that touring car start from here? My wife's going alone." "Yes, sir. It leaves here at ten. It's our own car the most comfortable way to see Montreal." Warren bought a ticket and gave It to Helen with a brusque: "Now, that fixes you for the morning." "Then you're not coming up to the room?" 'No; here's the key. I've got to kick along. Got enough money? I'll meet you here around six. Now take care of yourself." Feeling rather forlorn, Helen went back to the room alone. The chambermaid had not been in, and the tumbled bed added to her depression. From the window she could see the big open car waiting in the street below. When she went down, half a dozen passengers were already seated. Helen chose the far corner of the back seat, but even there she felt conspicuously alone. At the last moment a tall, strongfaced man in a gray suit, whom she had noticed at breakfast, came out, glanced at the car, then at his watch, hesitated, bought a ticket, and jumped into the back seat. (More Tomorrow.)

It is doubtful if anyone with as shallow a nature as Caryl Marvin's is capable of appreciating the nervous strain from which Julia had suffered since her parting with Kelley Delaine. The sudden revelation and conviction that her little sister had deceived her, had lied to her, were painful enough, but the possible cause of such deception puzzled and alarmed her cruelly. The child must have reason for concealing her actions. What could this reason be except that she was doing something of which she knew her sister would disapprove? And what would she, who loved Caryl, disapprove of except of that which was unprincipled or unsafe? These thoughts had tortured Julia all the way home. How did parents of young and pretty girls manage to keep watch over them in a big city like New York?

. So hurried and nervous had shej been when she reached her own room; that she did not see Mrs. Halloran's ample figure advancing along the hall. The landlady stood irresolute outside of Julia's door after the girl had entered and closed it behind her, for she had seen in the dim light that her lodger's face was pale. She liked Julia, and she suspected that Caryl was giving her trouble. And, while she hesitated, she heard the rustle of paper as the occupant of the room opened the sheet she found on her bureau, and a low exclamation of dismay and fear reached the ears of the curious but kind-hearted listener. This sound decided her as to her course, and she knocked on the door, then entered without waiting for an answer. "May I come in. Miss Marvin?" she said with elaborate unconsciousness of the fact that she might be unwelcome. She stopped as she saw the girl's frightened expression. "Sure, dear child," she exclaimed anxiously, "it's sick you are!" Julia tried to smile. "Oh, no," she

said, "but I am very tired. And" hesitatingly "I am a little worried

that my sister is not at home yet

l hoped to find her here."

"Oh, she's all right." soothed the

matron. "I caught a glimpse of her
