"The Love Pendulum" 1 By MARION RUBINCAM

THE NEW HOME. Synoptic of Preceding Chapters. Constance Bennett has been in fashionable boarding schools all her life and spent her vacations at the home of a wealthy aunt, who Intends to present her formally to society. Constance dislikes the emptyness of a society career. Just before her coming out party, she develops pneumonia and is rushed to a sanitarium in the little town of Wellsville. Long after she recovers, she lingers on in the little village, charmed by its quietness and the simplicity of the people she meets there. She fall3 in love with Winthrop Taylor. When she writes her aunt of the engagement, the receives several telegrams from that lady, who is furious at the idea, and announces that she is coming to

Wellsville immediately to break off

the match. Winthrop suggests that

they run away and be married before the aunt comes. He makes peace with Aunt Harriet, and they decide

to live in New York. , Chapter 25.

As I remember, that trip to the city was not a very pleasant one. We had

to take the local, "Number 12," as

they called it familiarly in the village, to a station some ten miles off, where

the fast trains came through.

Except for the run in my car to Buffalo, I had not been out of Wellsville for any distance since I came there. Win and some of my new friends in the town had driven with me all over the surrounding hills, but this was the first real trip away from the quiet little place. I almost cried

as our train wandered along by the

side of the tiny river and though the

gap of the hills.

And then we were on the expess, and Win was ordering an elaborate luncheon for me in the diner. And then we were pulling into the city,

and my ears were drummed upon by the roaring, beating, raging noise of

the metropolis when it was hurrying home from work. It was hot, too,

and the odor from the ferry slips

nauseated me. But Winthrop was crazy over all of it. He had rarely been to the city, and was most astonishingly ignorant of everything about it My aunt's chauffeur met us at the ferry. "The car's here," he said, taking our baggage checks. My congratuations, Miss I mean, madame. And to you sir." Win smiled at the man, uncertain whether it was good form to shake hands or not. But I solved his problem by puling out my hand to Blake when he congratulated me, and Win, who picked things up with extraordinary rapidity, followed my example. "We are to stay at Aunt Harriet's," I told him. "She is away, every one is this season, but she's kept the house open for us." We drove to her huge white marble mansion, Just off Fifth avenue. Win was very much impressed by it, particularly by the Italian entrance Aunt Harriet had built on a covered drive of glass and wrought iron. The house was. sunk back in the center front, each wing touching the street , But the car turned into a tiny drive to the main door, through gates or doors of heavy glass and iron grill work. On the side towards the street as well as on the steps, huge palm3 and ferns were banked. These showed through the glass and in winter gave a tropical touch that was most delightful. "Great, isn't it? Can we have something like this?" Win asked, pleased as a boy by everything he saw. "When we have enough money." I answered practically. "This Italian

entrance cost my aunt $15,000. "If you would like to go anywhere : tonight, the car is ready," Blake sus- , gested. ; "Fine! Connie, let's go to a the- , atre." I nodded my head, and after dinner we started out again. It was all new ; to Winthrop and he was as enthus- ; iastic as a child so much 60 that I : could not help but catch some of his

Fpirit We went to a show which he liked immensely. I had seen co many like it that I was not interested

especially, but I liked seeing him

so pleased.

"Now, let's go somewhere and

dance," he suggested.

And we went, for the sake of cool

ness, to a Toof garden. We danced

there until after one in the morning.

And suddenly I found myself very tired. I could not tell why. It did not occur to me that I was used to going to bed at nine.

"Do we have to go home now. Win

asked in a disappointed way, as the orchestra began putting green covers

on the instruments and the people be

gan to leave. "Oh, there are other places, not so

nice, I know several-indoors, awfully

hot," I answered.

"Do let's go to one. Come on, Con

nie, don't look so 6leepy!" . "I am tired," I answered, very nearly cross.

He sat at the table looking at me, all the fun and sparkle going out of

his face.

"I am a brute," he said. "I did'nt mean to tire you." Immediately I felt like a brute myself. After all this was his first glimpse of the city, and he was intoxicated. No wonder he did not want to leave it so, soon! "I'm not very tired," I began. "Tomorrow night we will do this again." A voice behind me said suddenly, "Why Constance Bennett, I thought you were " I turned. It was a girl I knew slightly, one I did not care for much. She belonged to a family of social climbers whom my aunt snubbed every time she could. , "We came back today. This Is my husband, Mr. Taylor," I answered.

She and her escort were both de

lighted too delighted, to meet him, and too delighted to see me back after my illness. "We are going on to Lewis's. You

"Are you too tired?" he asked pleadingly. I shook my head and we started off. I was too tired and 1

hated these other people, and that little pain between my shoulders was

coming back again. But there was

nothing to do but go. Tomorrow Getting Settled.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 18. I have been correspond ng with a young gentleman whom I really loved, but in the meantime I have met a young man and am at present keep

ing company with him. I think I like him, but I could never marry him. The other gentleman has been corresponding for almost a year, but, his last three letters I have left unanswered and now he thinks I don't care for him any longer.

I am now very sorry for what I, have done and would like to win his ; friendship again. What shall I do? I Would It be right for ma to write now,)

after three months have elapsed? My mother seems to prefer the one I now go with. - Which shall I choose? DOLLY. Write to the young man cow. Doubtlea he will be very glad to hear from

you again and to have you reopen the! correspondence. j There is no need of making "a choice between the young men as long as both are friends and you are not' engaged. It is .more important thatj you should like the man you marry, than that your mother should. She, jr i i

may, nowever, nave reasons ior ner preference, and if they are good reasons it would be well for you to consider seriously her objections.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girlj 17 years old and have been going with a fellow three years my senior. I, like this fellow and he says he cares for me. Every one speaks well ofj him and he seems to be very popular. There is one thing I cannot under-; stand, he is always wanting to kiss! me or else have me kiss him. I have: told him over and over again that I wouldn't. Why does he keep asking if he really cares for me when he; knows I won't give in? ' Does a girl cheapen herself by .going with different fellows, or should! she keep steady company to keep herj reputation? ANXIOUS. It is natural for a young man to want to kiss a girl for whom he cares, j Keep on refusing because you are too , young to be sure of love and you; should not give kisses without love.! Some people, have more affectionate; natures than others and perhaps your; friend is one who can't forget that he wants to kiss you. j I believe a young girl should goj with different boys. If sho is careful of her conduct her reputation is safe;

"And now Mr. Holmes, I come at' last to the special thing which ha3 caused me to ask your advice. You must know that every Saturday forenoon, I ride on my bicycle to Farnham Stanton, in order to get the 12:22 to Town. The road from Chiltern Grange is a lonely one, and at one spot it is particularly so, for it lies for over a mile between Charlington Heath upon one side and the woods which lies around Charlington Hall upon the other. - You could not find a a more lonely tract of road anywhere, and it is quite rare to meet so much as a cart, or a peasant, until you reach the high road near Crooksbury Hill. Two weeks ago I was passing this place, when I chanced to look back over my shoulder, and about two hundreds yard3 behind me I saw a man, also on a bicycle. He seemed to be a middle-aged man, with a dark short beard. I looked back before I reached Farnham but the man was gone so I thought no more about it. But you can imagine how surprised I was, Mr. Holmes when on my return on the Monday. I saw the same man on the same stretch of road. My astonishment was increased when the incident occurred again, exactly as before, on the following Saturday and Monday. He always kept his distance and did not molest me in any way, but still it certainly was very odd. I mentioned it to Mr. Carruthers. who seemed interested in what I said, anl told me that he had ordered a horst and trap, so that in the future I should not pass over these lonely road3 without some companion. "The horse and trap were to have come this week, but for some reason they were not delivered, and again I had to cycle to the station. That was this morning. You can think that I looked out when I came to Charlington Heath, and there, sure enough was the man, exactly as he had been the two weeks before. He always

kept so far from me that 1 could not

clearly see his face, but it was C3 tainly someone whom I did not know. He was dressed in a dark suit with a cloth cap. The only thing about his

face that I could clearly see was his

dark beard. Today I was not .alarm

ed, but I was filled with curiosity, and I determined to find out who he was and what he wanted. I slowed down my machine, but he slowed down his.

Then I stopped altogether, but he stopped also. Then I laid a trap for him. There is a sharp turning of the

road, and I pedalled very quickly i

round this and then I stopped and waited. I expected him to shoo: around and pass me before he couli stop. But he never appeared. Then I went back, and looked around tlio corner. I could see a mile of road, but he was not on it. To make it the more extraordinary there was no side road at this point down which he could have gone." Holmes chuckled and rubbed his hands. "This case is certainly presents some features of its own," sa'.d he. "How much time elapsed between

your turning the corner and your discovery that the road was clear?" "Two or three minutes." "Then he could not have retreated down the road, and you say that there was no side roads?" "None." y "Then he certainly took a footpath on one side or the other." "It could not be on the side of thu Heath, or I should have seen him." "So by the process of exclusion, we arrive at the fact that he made h'13 way toward Charlington Hall, which as I understand is situated in its own grounds on one side of the road. Anything else?" "Nothing, Mr. Holmes, save that I wa3 so perplexed that I felt I 6hould not be happy until I had seen you and had your advice." Holmes sat in silence for some little time. "Where is the gentleman to whom you are engaged?" he asked at last. "He is in the Midland Electrical Company, at Coventry." "He would not pay you a surprise visit?" "Oh. Mr. Holmes! As if I should not know him!" "Have you had any other admirers?" "Several before I knew Cyril." "And since?" "There was this dreadful man, Woodley, If you can call him an ad-

"No one else?" Our fair client seemed a little confused. "Who was he?" asked Holmes. "Oh, it may be a mere fancy of mine; but it had seemed to me sometimes that my employer, Mr. Carruthers, takes a great deal of interest in me. We are thrown rather together. I play his accompaniments in the evening . He has never said anything.

He is a perfect gentleman. But a girl ; always knows."

"Ha!" Holmes looked grave. "What

does he do for a living?"

"He is a rich man." "No carriages or horses?" "Well, at least he is fairly well-to-

do. But he goes into the city two or three times a week. He is deeply interested in South African gold shares."

"You will let me know any fresh

development. Miss Smith. I am very

busy just now, but I will find time to make some inquiries into your case. In the meantime, take no step without

letting me know. Good-bye, and I trust

that we shall have nothing but good news from you." "It is part of the settled order of Nature that such a girl should have followers," said Holmes, as he pulled at his meditative pipe, "but for choice not on bicycles in lonely country roads . Seme secretive lover; beyond all doubt But there are curious and

suggestive details about the case.

Watson."

"That he should appear only at that

point?"

"Exactly. Our first effort must be to find who are the tenants of Charlington Hall. Then, again, how about the connection between Carruthers and Woodley, since they appear to be men of such a different type? How came

j they both to be so keen upon looking ; Inn T?alnh SmitVi'o retatinne Otio more!

point. What sort of a menage is it which pays double the market price for a governess, but does not keep a horse, although six miles from the station? Odd, Watson very odd!" "You will go down?" "Xo, my dear fellow, you will go down.. T,his may be some trifling intrigue, and I cannot break my other

important research for the sake of it. I On Monday you will arrive early at i Farnham; you will conceal yourself, near Charlington Heath; you will ob-j

serve these facts for yourself, and act as your own judgment advises. Then, having inquired as to the occupants of the Hall,- you will come back to me and report. And now, Watson, not another word of the matter until we have a few solid stepping-stones on which we may hope to get across to our solution." We had ascertained from the lady that she went down upon the Monday by the train which leaves Waterloo at 9:50, so I started early and caught the 9:13. At Farnham Station I had no difficulty in being directed to Charlington Heath. It was impossible to mistake the scene of the young lady's ad

venture, for the road runs between the i

open heath on one side and an old yew hedge upon the other, surrounding a park which is studded with magnificent trees. There was a main gateway of lichen-studded stone, each side pillar surmounted by mouldering heraldic emblems, but besides this central carriage drive I observed several points where there were gaps in the

hedge, and paths leading through them, t The house was invisible from the road, but the surroundings all spoke of

gloom and decay. Tomorrow The Adventure Solitary Cyclist, continued.

But it remains for Miss Mabel Marie Knox, of Twin township, to supply a more appropriate term for nccuna-

tion that of farmerette. 1

miss Knox, 25 years old, and Edon L. Jordan, 27 years old, farmer, of Twin township, were issued a marriage license here Monday. She is a daughter of George Knox. The name of the minister expected to perform the mariage ceremony was not given. Ten marriage licenses were issued in Preble county in the month of July, last, compared with 9 licenses in the month of the preceeding year.
