' ' "You must try to rest." Blaine rose and motioned toward the window 1 through which the cold rays of the wintry sun were stealing and putting tthe orange glow of the electric lights to shame. "See it is morning and you 'have bad no sleep." "But you must not go Just yet, Mr. : Blaine! I cannot rest until I know ;who that man was whose voice I herd over your telephone this morning. .What did he mean? He said that his fwife committed suicide; that he himself had been ruined! And all through my father and you! It cannot :be true, of course: but I must know ;to what he referred!" "I will tell you. It Is best that you I should know the truth. Your father twas absolutely innocent in the matter, but his enemies and yours might find It expedient to spread fake re'ports which would only add to your sorrow. You know, you must remem- "' ber since your earliest childhood, how 'every one came to your father with 'their perplexities and troubles and how benevolently they were received, how wisely advised, how generously aided. Not only bankers and financiers in the throes of a panic, but men . and women in all walks of life came to ; him for counsel and relief." ; "I know. I know!" Anita whispered ' with bowed head, the quick tears of . tender memory starting in her eyes, i "Such a one who came to him in for advice in her distress was the wife 1 of Herbert Armstrong. She was a good woman but through sheer ignorance of evil she had committed a ; slight indiscretion, nothing more than the best of women might be led into : at any time. We need not go into details. It is enough to tell you that certain unscrupulous persons had her in their power and were blackmailing her. She fell their victim through the terror of being misunderstood, and when she could no longer accede to their demands, she came to your father her husband's friend, for advice. Herbert Armstrong was Insanely jealous of his wife, and in your father's efforts to help her he unfortunately incurred 'the unjust suspicions of the man. 'Armstrong brought suit for divorce, intending to name Mr. Lawton as co-'resnondent"

, "Oh, how could he!" Anita cried indignantly. "The man must have been mad! My father was the soul of honor. Every one the whole world knows thai! RenlriAfl. Ma heart. u-a hurled.

tall that he did not give to me, deep,

deep in the sea where Mother and my little brother and sister are lying! He sever even looked at another woman, save perhaps in kindness, to help and comfort those who were in trouble.

Buc when did you come into the case, Mr. Blaine? That man whose voice I heard today must have been Herbert Armstrong himself, of course. Why did he say that you, as well as my father, were responsible for his tvagery?" "Because when Mr. Lawton became aware of Armstrong's ungovernable jealousy and the . terrible length to which he meant to go in his1 effort to revenge himself, be your father

came to 1 me to establish . MrB. Armstrong's innocence, and his, in the eyes of the world. Armstrong's case, although totally wrong from, every standpoint, was a very strong one, but fortunately I was able to verify the truth and was fully prepared to prove it. Just on the eve of the date set for the trial, however, a tragedy occurred which brought the affair to an abrupt and pathetic end." (More Wednesday.)

XX j BEN HADLEY. , "Good morning. Miss Marvin," tald iKelley Delaine, as his stenographer 'entered his study. "You look as though ,the world was treating you well." i Caryl's delicate coloring was brilliant today, her eyes were bright and "her heart was beating high with happiness. In her little handbag she carried Harry Somerdyke's letter, and there was room in her mind for nothing else. She was to see him again! More than that she was to lunch with him and a friend of his who, Harry said, longed to meet her. In her vanity she had already determined to discipline Somerdyke for his recent uegjlect, and she meant to be very, very nice to his friend. She would show her former admirer that she was a Iperson to be sought after. "Good morning, Mr. Delaine!" she (responded blithely as she laid .aside jher hat.- She had dressed with elaborate care this morning. "I can't help feeling happy on a beautiful day like this." "Well, to tell the truth, I hadnt observed that it was particularly inspiring weather," the author answer'ed. "I thought it was rather warm and muggy for this time of the year. Now, if you're ready, we'll get right to work. I won't dictate to you today, but there is a big job of copying for you to do instead." He handed her a number of sheets of paper as he spoke, and Caryl's spirits fell as she noted how many there were. Suppose she should not finish them In time to keep her1 1 o'clock engageemnt! ! But she attacked them vigorously end kept steadily at them. There was 'silence in the room but for the click of the machine and an occasional movement from the desk where Delaine sat. At half past twelve the girl paused In her task and counted the sheets which were yet to be, copied. Then she looked at her employer. ' "Would you mind if I stopped for a little while now and come back after lunch and finish these, Mr. Delaine?" she ventured timidly. "I didn't eat much breakfast this morning, and I think I will work better after I have had my luncheon." Delaine glanced up from his writing. "Of course!" he assented genially. "Come back and finish the copylng when you are ready to do so. I'm beginning to feel hungry myself, come to think of it. I'm lunching at homo today, and if you think you could stand Wang's weird oriental cooking,

Miss Marvin, I should be glad to have you share it with me this noon.". Caryl flushed with embarrassment. "Oh, thank you, but I really don't think I'd better do that," she stammered. "I have a couple of errands to attend to." Then as a sudden idea occurred to her: "My sister might not like me to do It,' she added primly. "She is quite right," asserted Delaine. "I really do not think she would object in this instance, but you irust do as you think best about it. Go on now if you wish, and come back whenever you like." Caryl drew a deep breath of relief as she took the elevator to the street. "How anyone gets along who tells

the truth all the time beats me!" she soliloquized. 9 9 Somerdyke was waiting for her when she entered the Hotel Astor, and he came forward quickly. With him was a-tall, broad shouldered man whem the girl immediately recognized as the person who had caught her when she had stumbled on the gang plants the night before. , "It was very good of you to come, Miss Marvin," Somerdyke said, with impersonal politeness. "May I introduce my friend, Mr. Hadley? He saw you last night and has been talking of nothing else since." (More Wednesday.)

HELEN and WARREN

The sound of a key In the front door sent her scurrying into the kitchen. She could hear their voices in the hall. Now they had gone into Warren's room. She pictured him going to the chiffonier to brush his hairand finding the note. Her hands trembled as she poured tne soup into the tureen. She must give them time to get into the library before she onnounced dinner. . But suddenly the pantry door was flung open and Warren strode in, his face livid, the note crushed in his hand. "What fool stunt " he began in spluttering, loud-voiced rage, "Sh-sh, he'll hear you! Now don't upcet me! I begged you not to come out here. You MUST let me do this! It's too late, to do anything else. Go back quick I'm coming right in to announce dinner." In helpless glowering wrath Warren started at her. Then with an oath he swung out. A moment later, Helen appeared at the library door with a barely audible "Dinner is served, sir." She waited in the pantry until tLey were seated. With her heart in her throat and with rigidly lowered eyes, for she dared not look at Warren, she took in the soup. "I'm sorry Mrs. Curtis is indisposed," remarked Mr. Hotaling politely as he drained his cocktail. "Oh, it's nothing, she's she's subject to sick headaches," blurted Warren awkwardly. Helen removed the soup plates and brought in the roast. Standing back of Warren's chair while he carved she gave one swift glance across the table. Mr. Hotaling was looking straight at her, and for a second his leveled eyes held hers. It had been only a casual glance, she reassured herself, as with flaming cheeks she escaped to the kitchen for the vegetables. The cauliflower she served first because it was in side dishes, which she had only to place by their plates. But the large dish of riced potatoes shook in her unsteady hand as she held it at Mr. Hotaling's elbow. He helped himself without glancing up, seemingly intent on Warren's glowing account of salmon fishing in New Brunswick. While the maid was never allowed to leave the vegetables on the table, tonight, to simplify the serving Helen left everything. The dinner well under way, the took her first relieving breath. Standing just inside the pantry door, which she kept inside the pantry door, which she kept ajar, she saw that nothing was needed. Once or twice Warren shot her a furious glance. If only she could see this through, she could stand his rage afterward. Knowing he would not ring,' intently she watched for the time to remove the plates. They both ate heartily and with evident relish. At length, she brought out the roast and cleared the table. With the salad she served the cheese and toasted crackers. Then closing the pantry door, , she rushed to the open kitchen window to cool her hot flushed face. She was through all but the coffee in the library. (More Tuesday.)

Bennie Dog thought he was badly treated because his mother , wanted him to help her with the work one morning. "I don't want to shake the rugs, only girls help with housework," whined Bennie Dog. Bennie Dog's mother threw out the rugs and told him to clean them or he should have no bones for dinner. Bennie Dog pouted and looked very cross indeed at the rugs; then he picked up one and gave it a very angry shake. "Hello, Bennie Dog, why are you working this fine day?" Bennie Dog dropped the rug and

looked around; it was Tommle Cat standing by the gate who spoke to him. "Hello!" replied Bennie Dog. "I will have to clean these rugs or I will have to go without my dinner mother said so; I am treated very badly, I think, I suppose you do not have to help your mother?" "Oh, I should say not!", said Tommle Cat with a toss of his head; "no one can make me -work, I would run away if I had to do what you are doing." "Run away?' said Bennie Dog. walking over to the gate. "I never thought of that; but where would I run to? I don't know where to go." "Oh, I know heaps of places!" said Toramie Cat. "Come along; I will show you. I run away very often just for fun." "All right, I will go along If you will show me where to run," said Bennie Dog. ".How would you like to go to sea?" asked Tommle Cat. "To see what?" asked Bennie Dog. "I would like to see a big plate of bones." "Oh! you silly fellow; I mean to go to sea In a boat out in the water," said Tommie Cat "I'll bet you are afraid, though you never ran away before." "Oh! no, I am not; I am going to run away with you. There are no 'fraidy cats' in our family,' said Bennie Dog. with a frown. ,. "Oh! well, there may have been 'fraidy cats' in our family, but I am not one of them, as you will see, if you follow me," said Tommie Cat. Bennie Dog trotted down the road after Tommie Cat, who. led him down to the river in the meadow, where there was a boat. "Jump in," he said to Bennie Dog, "we will, sail away from this part of the country and be pirates," "What are pirates?" asked Bennio Dog. "Pirates steal things,' said Tomime Cat, "and they are n6t afraaid of anything; here we go," he said as he pushed the boat away from land. Bennie Dog looked back at the

Newspaper Syndicate, New York, green meadow; he. had a good mind to jump out of the boat and run for bis home. Just then the boat glided into a swift running .stream or water, and off shot the boat like a flash. "Oh! oh! oh!" cried Bennie Dog) clinging fast to the side of the boat. "Me-ow! me-ow'' cried Tommie Cat all his bravery gone. On went the boat, with the frightened Tommie and Bennie clinging fast to the side, and all at once it went bang! up against a rock, and there it stopped. "Well, here we are," said Bennie Dog, who had recovered from his fright. "Where are we?" asked Tommie Cat in a weak voice. "Why we have run away. Don't you

know where we are?- asked Bennie Dog, looking surprised. , "No, I don't know where we are, but I em going to get out of this boat," said Tommie Cat, springing out en the rock. V "' ' . "You are worse oft there than in the boat," said Bennie Dog. "You are on a rock in the middle of the river and you can't get home; you better come back." . But before Tommle Cat could make up his mind what to do a gust of wind struck the boat and out it went into the stream again. "Come back! come back! Don't leave me here alone to die." called out Tommie Cat But Bennie could not stop the boat, of course, and so off he went leaving Tommie Cat crying loudly for help. Tomorrow I will tell you what happened to Tommle Cat and also to Bennie Dog. (Continued Tomorrow.)

Could This City Do Without Ice?

A TOWN without ice would be a pretty poor town. It would certainly be in a bad way. There would be no ice-cream, no ice-tea, no lemonade, no cool water. The butter would be soft and strong. The milk and cream would sour and the eggs wouldn't keep. Fruits and food would spoil. Health would be endangered. Nothing ia more certain than that

More -6Aon a. Product-It is a smmm For a very few cents each day all of these discomforts, inconveniences and dangers are averted. ' Seven to ten cents invested ia ice each day changes the situation entirely. If you couldn't get ice, you'd be willing to pay almost any price for it and go to no end of trouble to obtain it But that's pretty hard on the imagination when the ice -man ia at your door every clay juat on die chance that you may want ice and the coat is reckoned in pennies.
