"The Love Pendulum" By MARION RUBINCAM

WINTHROP Chapter 6 . The next morning came warm and full of sunlight and the fragrant freshness that only the early season seems to possess. I could not be depressed on such a day. There was the routine of the sanatarium to get through with. I rushed Parker through my bath and massage and waited Impatiently for the doctor's visit.

"You look well enough to be sent

norae now ne 101a me. . "Not quite home," I answered. "I have a plan I'm going to stay on here for the summer. You can have me under your supervision then, but I'm going to live in the village." As 6oon as I was permitted to go out, I sent for my car and drove to the little white cottage, took the name of the real estate man, and half an hour later, accompanied by him, I was going through the place. It could not have been better if it had been made for me. It was a

cheaply built, but perfectly good little house, one and a half stories high. It was of white painted boards with green shutters, and a porch about five feet square with two wee benches, one on each side of the door. Inside was a living room with a brick fireplace. This was half the house. On the other side, irt front, was the dining room; then the kitchen completed that floor. Upstairs were two small bedrooms with sloning ceilings, and a tiny bathroom. The house was furnished with cheap but plain furniture. It seemed it had been built by a young married couple, who had moved away to another city and had this place up for rent. I took it at once, even before I knew its rental. I thought it very cheap, though Mrs. Taylor told me the man doubled the price when he saw my enthusiasm. Of course I had an almost unlimited allowance. So I could afford to beg

the doctor to give me Parker for my

housekeeper, at least over the summer,

And in a week I was established in my little home my first home, the only house I ever felt I could call by fcuch a sacred name. 'You'll want to be doin' everything, and you mustn't overwork," Parker had to say several times every day. For I was full of enthusiasm. "It isn't too late to plant a little vegetable garden," I told her. "Late

corn and late peas and lettuce will grow oh, lots of things. I've a seed catalogue from the grocery siore." My aunt would have been horrified if she could have seen me. I wrote her that I was to be under the doctor's supervision all summer and would stay in Wellsville, where I had taken a small house, and my private nurse was to attend me. I wrote Father the same thing, so I was not fibbing, though perhaps I wasn't telling the entire truth. My aunt sent me a lot of summer clothes, smart things fashioned by her own dressmakers. Most of them I put pv ny. I did not want them. I bought f lot of big aprons made from cretonne, things that covored me like a dress, find decided to wear them all

him In the doorway of his house, in the brief Instant I leaned over to start my car. So when the bell rang and Mrs. Taylor and I were busy in my little kitchen, I had no Idea what my guest would look like. I answered the bell, opening the screen door to the

front porch and holding out my hand In welcome. And Winthrop Winthrop Taylor, who was so soon to play such an enormous part in my life clasped my hand and crossed my threhold for the first time! And I, not knowing the tremendous Importance of this meeting, said simply and casually, "Won't you put your hat on the table? Dinner is nearly ready." Monday Acquaintance

PART ONE. I had called upon my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, one day in the autumn of last year, and found him in deep conversation with a very stout, florid-faced, elderly gentleman, with fiery red hair. With an apology for my intrusion, I was about to withdraw, when Holmes pushed me abruptly into the room and closed the door behind

me. "You could not possibly have come at a better time, my dear Watson," he said cordially. "I was afraid that you were engaged." "So I am. Very much so."

"Then I can wait in the next room." "No, not at all. This gentleman. Mr. Wilson, has been my partner and helper in many of my most successful cases, and I have no doubt that he will be of the utmost use to me in yours, also." The stout gentleman half rose from his chair and gave a bob of greeting, with a quick little questioning glance from his small, fatencircled eyes. "Try the settee," said Holmes, relapsing into his arm chair and putting his finger tips together, as was his custom when in judicial moods. "I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizzare and outside the conventions and humdrum

routine of every day life. You have

shown your relish for it by the enthusiasm which has prompted you to chronicle, and if you will excuse my saying so, somewhat to embellish so many of my own little adventures." "Your cases have indeed been of the greatest interest to me," I observed.

" You will remember that I remarked the other day, just before we went into the very simple problem presented by Miss Mary Sutherand, that for strange

effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination." "A proposition which I took the lib erty of doubting." "You did, doctor, but none the less you must come round to my view, for otherwise I shall keep on piling fact upon fact on you until your reason breaks down under them and acknowledges me to be right. Now, Mr. Ja-

bez Wilson here has been good enough (

for doubt whether any positive crime

glanced down the advertisement column with his. head thrust forward, and the paper flattened out upon his knee, I took a good look at the man. and endeaveored, after the fashion of my companion, to read the indications which might be presented by his dress or appearance. I did not gain very much, however, by my inspection. Our visitor bore

every mark of being an average commonplace British tradesman, obese, pompous, and slow. He wore rather baggy gray shepherd's check trousers, a not over-clean black frock coat, unbottoned at the front, and a drab

waistcoat with a heavy brassy Albert chain, and a square pierced bit of metal dangling down as an ornament. A frayed top-hat, and a faded brown overcoat with a wrinkled velvet collar lay upon a chair beside him. Altogether, look as I could, there was nothing remarkable about the man save his blazing red head and the expression of extreme chagrin and discontent upon his features. Sherlock Holmes's quick eye took in

my occupation, and he shook his head ' with a smile, as he noticed my questioning glances. "Beyond the obvious facta that he has at some time done manual labor, that he takes snuff, that he Is a Freemason, that he has been In China, and that ho has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing else." Mr. Jabez Wilson started up in his chair, with his forefinger upon tho paper,, but his eyes upon my companion. "How, In the name of good-fortune, did you know all that, Mr. Holmes?" he asked. "How did you know, for example, that I did manual labor. It's true as gospel, for I began as a ship's carpenter."

"Your hands, my dear sir. Your right hand is quite a size larger than your left. You have worked with it. and the muscles are more developed." "Well, the snuff, then, and the Freemasonry?" "I won't insult your Intelligence by telling you how I read that, especially as, rather against the strict rules of the order, you use an arc-and- compass breastpin." "Ah, of course, I forgot that But the writine?"

"What else can be indicated by tnat

and the left one with the smooth

patch near the elbow, where you rest

it upon the desk? "Well, but China?"

"That fish that you have tattooed

immediately above your right wrist could only have been done in China. I have made a small study of tattoo marks, and have even contributed to

the literature of the subject. That

trick of standing the fishes' scale:

China. When in addition, I see

chain, the matter becomes even more

simple." , Mr. Jabez Wilson laughed heavily

"Well, I never!" said he. "I thought

at first that you had done something clever, but I see that there was noth

ing In it after all."

"I begin to think. Watson." said

Holmes, "that I make a mistake in explaining. 'Omne ignotum pro magnifico,' you know, and my poor little

reputation, sucn as it is, will suffer shipwreck if I am so candid. Can you find the advertisement, Mr. Wilson?"

SHIMADA DEPLORES

TALK OF JAP WAR

(By Associated Press) TOKIO, July IS. Ex-Speaker Saburo Shimada of the house of representatives, who, because of his oratorical powers, is often called by Japanese the Wendell Phillips of Japan, is contributing a series of articles to the Nichinichi Shimbun on relations with the United States, in which he deplores and decries talk of war. The

distinguished parliamentarian holds that If the situation between the two countries is studied from a broad, statesmanlike attitude such talk will become meaningless. He says: "Possibly there are no Japanese who seriously think that Japan Is able to attack America across the Pacific as there will be no Americans who dream of an American invasion of Japan. Some think that the immigration question probably will furnish a casus belli between Japan and the United States, while others are of the opinion that the scramble for rights and interests will lead the two countries to war. " No Reason for War

nature as to be solved by an appeal

freedom. It Is not surprising, therefore that from the Japanese standpoint some of the arguments in America about Japan may eeem too bold and reckless. It Is a mistake to think, however, that these views represent public opinion in America.

And finally we were fixed. The' cheap hangings I had taken down and i I had put away all ornaments. Cool white muslin hung at the windows, and cretonne curtains and cushions and couch covers made the place as dainty as could be. It was wonderful what a difference I made in the house by a few such touches. "And you can still have a garden, and you can set our shrubs," Mrs. Taylod told me. So we did this too, to the greater transformation of the house. In no time at all it was one of the prettiest homes in the village. And that marked the end of one sort of life and the beginning of another. For when my little house was done over, I was quite well, though not very strong yet. It would take months

of a quiet life to bring back perfect health. . Aunt Harriet consented to my idea, my Father was so far away that the t-ummer would be half way through before he could get another letter to me. "And now I want to learn to cook," I told Mrs. Taylor.

"A splendid ambition! I wish all! modern girls were as sensible as you 1 arel" she approved. ' I shall take great pleasure in teaching you." i , "Then let's cook our own dinner here Friday," I suggested. "That's! Parker's evening out I'll help and ' you can show me." ! "But Friday's my girl's day out too.' Come to my place I have to get ' Winthrop's dinner." j "Bring him here!" I suggested. I And that's how simply that hap-j pened. Indeed, that was the one thing! that drew a sharp line between past! and future for me. But I did not know j it then we never know the big things ! when they are happening to us. i I had not met Winthrop. I had seen I

has been committed. As far as I have heard, it is impossible for me to say whether the present case is an instance of crime or not, but the course of events is certainly among the most singular that I have ever listened to. Perhaps, Mr. Wilson, you would have the great kindness to recommence your narrative. I ask you not merely because my friend, Dr. Watson, has not heard the opening part, but also because the peculiar nature of the story makes me anxious to have every possible detail from your lips. As a rule, when I have heard some slight indication of the course of events, I am abe to guide myself by the thousands of other similar cases which occur to my memory. In the present instance I am forced to admit that the facts are, to the best of my belief, unique." The portly client puffed out his chest with an appearance of some little pride, and pulled a dirty and wrinkled newspaper from the inside pocket of his great-coat. As he
