He did not make the excuse of pretending to retain me as his atornoy. I think he was merely warning me that he was suspicious of me."

"Probably . a . mere concldence," Elaine observed easily. "I wonder if youll think ' so when I tell you that twice, since yesterday my life has been attempted." Ramon speke quietly enough, but there was a slight trembling in his tones. "What:" Blaine started forward in his chair, then sank back with an incredulous smile, which none but he could have known was forced. "Surely you imagine it, Mr. Hamilton. Since your automobile accident, when you were run down and so nearly killed on the evening you sent for me to undertake Miss Lawton's case, you may well be nervous." As he spoke he glanced at the

four o'clock. In order to reach my client's address it was necessary to pass through the street in which that shooting affray occurred which filled the papers last evening.

' Remember, too, Mr. Blaine that it was preararnged for me to walk alone- through the street at just that psychological moment.

" "Oh, you can't" tell the first day," Helen answered evasively. Although she had - decided not to keep Ellen, she did not want to admit it. . Somehow Warren always sided with the "maid He always made her feel- that she was ; difficult and hard to please. When they went in to dinner, Helen found that whatever Ellen's other fallings she was undeniably a good cook. The soup, a puree of tomato, was deliciously smooth and creamy, and the roast and vegetables exceptionally well cooked. To Helen's surprise, she brought in a" plate of light, flaky dinner, biscuits. , "Say, she's a peach." was Warren's satisfied comment.. "These biscuits make a hit ' with me. We'll hold on to- her." . " ' "But. dear, cooking isn't everything. She doesn't serve very well, and she

"Oh, hang the serving! If she gives us eats like this, we don't care how she .slings .'em -on." "And she's very obstinate," pursued

Helen. "She doesn't want to be told a. thing. -Besides she flatly refused to wear a cap." - . "Well C if . she can make these biscuits, : who cares a whoop what she wears?" "But every '. maid wears a cap for dinner it looks so much better." : Huh, you try to rig up an ordinary hired girl to look like Felice, dusting the parlor in the first act. What we want is somebody to. pitch in and do the work. . If there's any style to be put' on around here we'll . attend to that." . "Cli, it Is ' only . the , cap it's her whole attitude. She doesn't want to be shown anything. She wants to do things her own way." "Then for the love of Mike why don't you let her? Ppn't be always picking at her. That's why you can't keep a girl." , "Can't keep a girl!" flamingly. "Why Warren, I DO keep them a great deal longer than most women. I had Anna nearly a year." "Yes, and before you got her for a while there you had one a week. You're not content to let a girl do her work you're . eternally nagging at

her. And every girl you get you expect more from you keep adding new frills." "Warren, you know that isn't true! The work here Is easy. Look what Mrs. Stevens' maid has to do. There are four in the family, and " "That's all right about Mrs. Stevens I'm talking about YOU. For twenty-five a month you expect a

paragon a combination cook, waitress, lady's maid, laundress and whatnot?" "It's NOT twenty-five.. We pay twenty-seven if she does the washing." "Well, twenty-seven then. It used to be twenty-five, and you paid a laundress two dollars a week. Now you've cut out the laundress and expect the girl to do the washing for two dollars a month." "But. Warren, our washing's so small and she doesn't have your shirts and coliars. Why, she didn't object at all to. the washing. "She didn't eh? Then when you get one that's willing to do the work, and a darned good cook at that you raise Cain because she won't wear a dinky little tidy on her head! No wonder they'd rather work In sweat-shops than for women like you. Half of you don't. know what you want. Huh, an archangel with a reference from above couldn't satisfy you!"

she insisted, "when I start to do a thing I do it. And we're going on." "If anyone should fall down in this crowd she'd get trampled on," Julia said. "Then don't fall down! " laughed Caryl. As she spoke the crowd surged forward. A kindly elderly man on one side of Julia, feeling the girl pushed violently against him, placed his hand under her elbow. "Excuse me, my dear!" he said quickly, "but I'm afraid you'll get hurt in this crowd." "Thank you!" murmured Julia then, turning to Caryl, "Hold fast to me dear. Don't let's be separated."

Bennie Dog sat on the steps In the sunny morning. He had a faraway look in his eyes, and every once in a while he scratched his ear and rubbed his face. The fact of the matter was that Bennie Dog was thinking very hard, for In the kitchen his mother was cooking a kettle of beef stew and Bennie Dog was very fond of it; yes, very fond of it. But Benny Dog knew he was not at all likely to get more than a sniff of the stew, for his mother had told him that moraine: that she exDected com-

pany for dinner and that Bennie Dog was to eat the dish of cold meat and bread on the shelf in the pantry as she was afraid there would not be enough of the 6tew to go around among her guests. And this was the reason Bennie Dog was looking so far away. He saw that dish of stew all cooked, and steaming sitting, in the window to cool, and he was thinking how he could manage to get it. All at once he smiled and opened his mouth wide. He had thought of a plan, and without waiting a minute he slid off the steps and trotted off the road toward the barn belonging to Mr. Man. When Bennie Dog's mother had finished cooking the stew she put it In a big bowl and placed it In the window to cool, Just as Bennie had expected, and then she went to the little looking-glass over the table and smoothed her apron and straightened her cap. Just as she was giving a last look at herself she started, and her eyes looked big and frightened, for in the mirror she saw almost in the yard a big black creature that she knew could be none other than Mr. Black Bear. He was sniffing in the air and making straight for the dish of 6tew, and Bennie Dog's mother knew she had to think quickly or Mr. Black Bear might get in the window; and although Bennie Dog's mother was . not afraid of most creatures, she was afraid of Mr. Black Bear; "Growl! growl!" went Mr. Black Bear, and then he walked right up to the window and reached for the dish of stew. But Bennie Dog's mother had reached for a kettle of water that was boiling on the stove, and just as Mr. Black Bear put up his paws he

Off ran Mr. Black Bear, leaping and bounding and howling, and 11 Bennie Dog's mother had looked she would have seen Mr. Black Bear do a very strange thing, but she didn't look. She closed the window and locked the door and hid In a closet. What Mr. Black Bear did was to drop his skin, and when he did out stepped Bennie Dog rubbing his head and hopping about as. if he was very unhappy. Yes, it was Bennie Dog dressed up in Mr. Man's buffalo robe, and he had frightened his mother, but he did not get the dish of stew he was after. What he did get was a bump on his head where the kettle struck him and a very uncomfortable feel

ing on his back where the hot water ran down at the place where the robe did not cover him. Bennie Dog did not know just what to do. He knew if he went home crying he would be found out, and he had lost the stew anyway, so h picked up the robe and carried it back to the barn. When he reached his home a little later his mother was telling her guests how 6he had saved the stew from -Mr. Black Bear, and what she had done to him. But Bennie Dog did not have any appetite for the stew, although there was a plateful left and his mother brought it to him as he sat on the steps holding: his aching head. "What is the matter?" she asked. And Bennie Dog told, a story end 6ald: "I fell off the stone wall and hit my head on a rock. I don't want any dinner." Bennie Dog thought as he sat there how much better it would have been for him if he had been a good doggie and not frightened his mother, and he resolved not to play any more tricks at least, not on his mother.
