"The Love Pendulum" By MARION RUBINCAM

CONSOLATION Chapter 50. In on thing Win was faithful that summer. He put aside every possible cent of money toward paying his mother back for what she had advanced. Our country expenses were trifling, even with the guests we had. I had sold my car that saved garage hire and gasoline and repairs, three items that had eaten Into our bank account. Having no maid, we were saved that; food in the country was cheap and we had an inexpensive table. This was partly because I was an amateur housekeeper, and partly because I was avoiding work in order to gain health again.

As the weeks passed, I watched our

account grow, and was pleased at that.

at least. By October we would be clear of that monster. Debt, which was

something I had learned to dread during the winter. Then there was al

ways the chance that Winthrop would bring in a new client to his firm, in

which case he would earn an extra

commission.

The days fell into a lazy routine, a pleasant - one to me, a bored one to

Win. We rose at 7 or before, break

fasted In almost total silence, and Win

took the bus to the train. My house

hold duties and the baby, which gained weight and prettiness from day to day took many hours. Sometimes I varied

my rountine, by leaving Connie at a neighbor's and going down to the

Sound for a swim.

In spite of my unhappiness and uneasiness, I was improving in health, i

I ate well and slept well, the tired drawn lines had long since disappear

ed and my skin had the warm pink?

glow that caused me to be called beautiful. One of the things I loved best was to walk in a pelting rain. I had a lot of old clothes for this and a waterproof coat and cap. One afternoon

when I came in from such a tramp, the cold rain had been beating in my face for an hour. I had tramped to the shore and back, and my whole body was glowing from the air and the exercise. Colin was with us that week. He stayed in and was making some pen and ink sketches for a magazine article. "I built you a fire in the fireplace," he said as he looked up. "Take off those wet things and 6it In the armchair there. I'm going to make tea for us." "How good you are," I answered, as he brought me a cup of the hot drink. "I feel wonderful after that walk! This tea is just the thing." "You look wonderful:" he told me, taking as he usually did an un

comfortable little chair on the other

side of the hearth. "What a skin you have! I can match its color with my

pigments, but there's not an artist alive can paint the quality of your

complexion nor the quality of blue in your eyes. It's not the shade, you know. It's quality " "I know!" I had heard Cclin's favorite topic before. "Not even Corot could give the illuminating quality of the rain and mist as I saw it over the valley by the way, where Is Win? His train Is In. There goes the station bus past the house." Colin looked uncomfortable. Then he stammered: . "The the truth is, Connie, he

phoned an hour ago I had to run

over to the farmhouse to get the mes

sage. Yes, I talked to him, as I

looked up suddenly, "he says he isn't

coming up tonight."

"But " I could not finish for be

wilderment. It was so surprisin

and so embarrassing, too. For. here

was Colin, a guest in our nouse: j Colin was the sweetest person in the world but that was no reason for Win to put me in the uncomfortable position of being there with him "It's as awkward for me as for you," Colin broke in on my thoughts. "I told Win as much. He told me you could always arrange to have someone stay with you. I ended matters by bribing the farmer's wife to come over for the night. Of course," he added, smiling whimsically, "I might run off with you between now and the time she comes, but her coming makes it all right and does away with scandal." "How dreadful of Win!" I burst out suddenly. ' Isuppose Gwen Is in town that's usually the reason when he doesn't come home." "No, it's not Gwen. She's in Bar Harbor, as I .happen to know. It's only the weather. He hates rain and drizzle: in the city he can forget It in clubs and taxies and hotels. Here he has to face it, see it, walk in it he doesn't gain a wonderful complexion by that, as you do." "Did he say the weather depressed

him so he couldn't come home?

ridiculous!" I burst out.

"Temperament Is always ridiculous

to others," Colin answered. "Poor Win actually does suffer out here.

Let him stay In. He'll go to a show

and feel better and coma back to

morrow In good spirits."

"To let the weather affect him so

he could do something so ridicu

lous "

"I am honored at his trust In me,

leaving you to my protection," said

Colin.

My anger melted. Colin always had that effect on me. He was so

gentle, so forbearing, so eternally sympathetic. I looked at him again. He was hunched up as usual, his shoulders so round as to make him seem rather deformed. His thick red hair, rather an ugly red, made his large head so much larger that It was all out of proportion. His face was homely, his skin blotched with freckles and sallow from life Indoors. His hands, thin, sensitive, artistic though they were, were also too large for him and only added to the grotesque effect. Poor ugly, beautiful Colin! For one instant I loved him with all my heart or rather, with all my gratitude for his sweetness and his understanding. He turned and smiled gently at me. Tomorrow The Quarrel.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl past eighteen and am old for my age. Most girls of my age seem so foolish that I am rather lonely at times. At a carnival or home coming on the street I seem very popular with the young folks and have a lot of chances to get acquainted with young men. Do you think it proper to let a young man walk with me to get acquainted, never having met before? I have turned many of them down and am sorry afterward. I find out they are respected and Just want to get a good time. Do you think it all

right If I have another girl with me? We would both act sensible and give him no cause for misbehavior. Many of the glrl3 do this and think it O. K., even letting the young men take them home, which I wouldn't think of. . ' , LONELY. It is not all right to get acquainted with young men on the street. You should be properly introduced. The

man who tries to make an acquaintance in that way Is not respectable.

regardless of what he is "considered . Besides, he would not respect you and would talk about you to other young men. There is nothing 6o much to be desired as respect, and respect must be earned. If you 'are interesting and charming in your way of acting you will not want for friends.

"Hum! So much for the police-

court," said Holmes, thoughtfully, tos

sing aside the paper. "The question for us now to solve is the sequence of events leading from a rifled Jewelcase at one end to the crop of a goose in Tottenham Court Road at the other. You see, Watson, our little deductions

have suddenly assumed a much more important and less innocent aspect. Here is the stone; the stone came from the goose, and the goose came from Mr. Henry Baker, the gentleman with the bad hat and all the other characteristics with which I have bored you. So now we mu2t set ourselves very seriously to finding this gentleman, and ascertaining what part he has played in this little mystery. To do this, we must try the simplest means first, and these lie undoubtedly in an advertisement In all the evening

papers. If this fail. I shall have recourse to other methods." "What will you say?" "Give me a pencil and that slip of paper. Now, then: 'Found at the corner of Goodge Street, a goose and a black felt hat. Mr. Henry Baker can have the same by applying at 6.30 this evening at 221b, Baker Street.' That i3 clear and concise." "Very. Bufwill he see it?" "Well, he is sure to keep an eye on the papers, since, to a poor man, the loss was a heavy one. He was clearly so scared by his mischance in breaking the window and by the approach of Peterson, that he thought of nothing but flight; but since then he must have bitterly regretted the impulse which caused him to drop his bird. Then, again, the introduction of his name will cause him to see it. for every one who knows him will direct his attention to it. Here you are, Peterson, run down to the advertising agency, and have this put in the evening papers. "In which, sir?" "Oh, in the Globe, Star, Pall Mall, St. James's, Evening News. Standard, Echo, and any others that occur to

you. "Very well, sir. And this stone?" "Ah, yes, I shall keep the stone.

Thank you. And, I say, Peterson, just ;

buy a goose on your way back, and leave it here with me, for we must have one to give to this gentleman in place of the one which your family Is now devouring." When the commissionaire had gone, Homes took up the stone and held it

against the light. "It's a bonny thing," said he. "Just see how it glints and sparkles. Of course it is a nucleus and focus of crime. Every good stone is. They are the devil's pet baits. In the larger and older jewels every facet may stand for a bloody deed. This stone is not yet twenty years old. It was found in the banks of the Amoy

River in Southern China, and is remarkable in having every characteristic of the carbuncle, save that it is blue in shade, instead of ruby red. In spite of its youth, it has already a sinister history. There have been

two murders, a vitriol-throwing, a suicide, and several robberies brought about for the sake of this forty-grain weight of crystalized charcoal. Who would think that so pretty a toy would be a purveyor to the gallows and the prison? I'll lock it up In my strong box now, and drop a line to the countess to say that we have it." "Do you think that this man Horner Is innocent?" "I cannot tell." "Well, then, do you imagine that this other one, Henry Baker, had anything to do with the matter?" "It is, I think, much more likely that Henry Baker is an absolutely innocent man, who had no idea that the bird which he was carrying was of considerable more value than if it were of solid gold. That, however, I shall determine by a very simple test, if we

have an answer to our advertsement." "And you can do nothing until then?" "Nothing." "In that case I shall continue my

professional round.. But 1 shall come back in the evening at the hour you have mentioned, for I should like to see the solution of so tangled a business." "Very glad to see you. I dine at seven. There is a woodcock, I believe. By-the-way, In view of recent occurrences, perhaps I ought to ask Mrs. Hudson to examine Its crop." I had been delayed at a case, and it was a little after half-past six when I found myself In Baker Street once more. As I approached the house I saw a tall man in a Scotch bonnet with a coat which was buttoned up to his chin, waiting outside in the bright semicircle which was thrown from the fanlight. Just as I arrived, the door was opened, and we were shown up together to Holmes's room. "Mr. Henry Baker. I believe," said he, rising from his armchair, and greeting his visitor with the easy air of geniality which he could so readily assume. "Pray take this chair by the fire, Mr. Baker. It is a cold night, and I observe that your circulation is more adapted for summer than for winter. Ah, Watson, you have just come at the right time. Is that your hat, Mr.

Baker?"

"Yes, sir; that is undoubtedly my

hat."

He was a large man, with rounded

shoulders, a massive head, and a broad, intelligent face, sloping down to a pointed beard of grizzled brown. A touch of red in nose and cheeks with a slight tremor of his extended hand, recalled Holmes's surmise as to his habits. His rusty black frock-coat was buttoned right up In front, with the collar turned up, and his lank wrists protruded from his sleeves without a sign or cuff or shirt. He spoke in a slow staccato fashion, choosing his words with care, and gave the im

pression generally of a man of learn-1

ing and letters who had ill-usage at)

the hands of fortune. "We have retained these things for some days," said Holmes, "because we expected to see an advertisement from you giving your address. I am at a loss to know now why you did not advertise." Our visitor gave a rather shamefaced laugh. "Shillings have not been so plentiful with me as they once were," he remarked. "I had no doubt that the gang of roughs who assaulted me had carried off both my hat ana the bird. I did not care to spend more

money in a hopeless attempt at recovering them." "Very naturally. By-the-way, about the bird, we were compelled to eat it." "To eat it!" Our visitor half rose from his chair in his excitement. "Yes; it would have been of no use to any one had we not done so. But I presume that this other goose upon

tne siaeooara, wnicn is tne same

weight and perfectly fresh, will answer your purpose equally well?" "Oh, certainly, certainly," answered Mr. Baker, with a sigh of relief. "Of course, we still have the feath

ers, legs, crop, and so on of your own

bird, so if you wish

The man burst into a hearty laugh. "They might be useful to me as relics of my adventure," said he, "but beyond that I can hardly see what use the disjecta membra of my late acquaintance are going to be to me. No, sir, I think that, with your permission, I will confine my attention to the excellent bird which I perceive upon the sideboard." Sherlock Holmes glanced sharply across at me with a slight shrug of his

shoulders. "There is your hat, then, and there your bird," said he. "By-the-way, would it bore you to tell me where you got the other one from? I am

"There are a few of us who frequent the 'Alpha Inn, near the Museum we are to be found in the Museum itself during the day, you understand. This year our good host, Windigate by name, instituted a goose club, by which on consideration of some few pence every week, we were each to receive a bira at Christmas. My pence were duly paid, and the rest is familiar to you. I am much indebted to you, sir, for a Scotch bonnet is fitted neither to my years nor my gravity." With a comical pomposity of manner he bowed solemnly to both of us and strode off upon his way. "So much for Mr. Henry Baker,"

said Holmes; when he had closed the door hebind him. "It is quite certain

that he knows nothing whatever about the matter. Are you hungry, Watson?" "Not particularly."

"Then I suggest that we turn our

dinner into a supper, and follow up this clew while it is Etill hot" "By all means."

Colds and grip cause thousands of cases of kidney trouble. In any germ disease the system becomes filled with poisons which the kidneys must filter off. All too often this extra burden weakens the kidneys. Then you have constant backache, headaches and dizziness; you lack ambition, feel dull, nervous and depressed. Don't ignore these warnings!
