If ever on the face of God's earth a married pair were devotedly in love with each other, those two were. I am not the sort to cavea drop, but nobody could donbt the atfection that showed in their. every word and deed.” "Where were #ni educated. Boyn ton?" The man looked up quickly, but so gwered, simply: "At Columbia univer ally. sir. But I didn't specialise, and the efash ckme. and I conld get no po sitlon such as I wanted. So. as 1 am a mechanician by nature. I chanced upon this Job with Mr Malden, and I gladly took IL It leaves me a bit of time to read, and I don't expect to be a chantfeur all my life Will you dress for dinner now. sir? It’s getting on." •Very welt One more question; are you loyal to Mrs. Malden, toy daughter?" Johik Lovell was looking straight into the other's eye*, and on Boynton's rather good looking face he saw noth Ing but absolute frankness and honesty. Rut ft seemed to him that Boynton quivered his eyelashes ever so slightly, as he replied: “As I was to my master, sir. i had the most sincere respect and admlra tlon for him. and. If 1 may aay so. I have the same feelings toward bls wife.” A little time biter, a correctly at tired. If somewhat bewildered gentleman. went downstairs to the drawingroom. His hostess awaited him. impressive looking in a dull heavy robe «f black. A variety of cocktails was offered him, la which Mrs. Malden joined him. and be noted with relief that the effect upon her was pleasantly exhilarating. "Your daughter will sot dine with us. I understand." she said; “perhaps It Is just as welt” "Nor shall I dine with you, madame. If you mate,any remark or observa tlon that can be construed as a slight upon my daughter I may as well tell you now that at any such remark 1 will leave your tables 1 regret extremely that I feel the necessity of saying this." •Yon are outspoken. Mr. LovelL" and the bright, beady eyes looked sharply at him. “but that permits me to be out spoken, too." And then i’ierre. the Impressive look tug French major-domo, announced din ter and stooped to assist his mistress from tte room. » Lovell followed Mrs. Maidan, to find, as be bad anticipated, a sumptuous dinner, elaborately served. Ste did full justice to tbe viands, . and her guest concluded that, whatever ailed her mind, her digestion was all right / The conversation was restricted to general subjects. With the dessert Lovell sllowedblm Mlf to Introduce the topic of Malcolm's arrival. “My son.’ he said, “who Is In Washington. expects to come down here tomorrow. 1 trust there will be no ehJbcCHmbl** "None at aIL I think 1 have not heard of young Mr. Lovell." “Nor te (here one. | am stepfather to my wife's two children.

-Because 1 grant Mm to advise you that. If only for your own sake, you would better refrain from repeating what you said to Mrs. Malden. You must know that slander Is severely dealt with, and you are quite Hable to get yourself into real trouble, while trying to trouble my daughter." “She Isn't your daughter.” Lovell stared at her. “To me she to as dear as sny daughter could be. She is very like her mother, whom J adored, and both my wife’s children are to me the same as if they were my own. We will not refer to this again. Nor to the other matter, except thio once. And I have to say only that if you again so much as hint or Imply or suggest that my daughter could by any chance, accident or design, have had any' hand In the death of bier beloved husband, you will suffer the direst punishment this country deals cut for such an offense, and 1 can assure you It to not a light one. There was silence for a few moments, then Pierre entered, followed by Dillon. and tbe two men led Madame Malden from the room. She left without ts word. Lovell went to Perilla'a rooms, and she stepped out bn tbe balcony with him. She felt she could not talk freely, there were so many listening ears about Lovell understood, and as they talked of various matters, he made, as be said, a route to follow when going home, which would be quicker than the one traveled coming down. Perilla was not surprised when on his departure, after Sarah's return, he slipped s paper Into her band. Later, she found the note read: “Do not be alarmed. Perilla dear, there U no real danger. But do not sleep in a room alone. 1 mean, let Sarah sleep in the dressing room adjoining your bedroom. Let no one come In. unless yon know who it to, snd then, no on* but tbe little maid, or Madame Malden." •Dad's all fussed up, Sarah," Perilla said. In a voice she tried to make ing“Never mind Miss Perilla. yep just forget it all and go to sleep. You've had a hard day. Lord knows, and you may have a hard day tomorrow." "May? I knew I shall And you know IL too, you old humbug." It was not very long before Perilla was sound asleep, with the rest that comes after utter exhaustion. And after a time Sarah, too, fell Into a deep sleep on the couch In the dressing room. ' Neither wakened when tbe french window from the balcony was softly pushed open and a black-robed figure entered i’erilla’s room. But Perilla’a quick hearing caught the sound of breathing and she opened her eyes to see some one leaning over her dressing table. i ; “Who are yoja? What do you want?" she said, quietly, at the same time pulling on a small light at the beadboard of her bed. Tbe figure, startled, jumped backward. and Perilla went on. “Why do you come In Stealthily, Madame Malden? Had you tapped at mydoor 1 would hare opened IL 1 was expecting you." "Expecting me. were you T* came the response, n that high, screeching voice she had used before to Perilla. "Expecting me to cotte to get a confession of your guilt F “No." said Perilla. tn a calm, conversational tone, "and you may as well stop that nonsense at once. I didn't kill my Corep. my darling, and well you know tt_ You are nobody's fool, except your own. and that is going to bring you to grief. Now. listen to me. I married Corey, not knowing what his mother was like. Nor do I blame him for not telling me; in fact. I don't see how he could, bring himself to tell me, now that I have seen you. “I married Corey, and planned to visit you on pur wedding trip, supposing you would love me. and I was quite ready to love you. Instead, you greeted me with a terrible. a fearful accusation. I cannot yet think you meant it; I think. I hope, you did not know what you said, so bewlittered were you from grief. But my efforts to make peace availed nothing. What are you here for?" i “To—to—• “You ueedjn't tell me; I know. Now here is my : last word. For Corey's sake, whose! life with you must have been veritable hell. 1 will forget or seem to forget what you have said and done. I do] not forgive you. Corey, himself, could not do that, but I will Ignore It all* if you promise there will be nothing further of tbe sort know what I mean, you know all 1 mean—do you promise?” “1 promise." said the old woman, sullenly. •I am not at all sure you will keep your promise. A Malden would never break a given word, but you are not a Maiden. You are not to be trusted in anything, therefore, tomorrow I jpnt the whole business before your lawyer. Everything, mind." •Na, came the screeching again, and as Perilla jumped out of bed and held her captive, she called to Sarah to fetch the nurse. “Find her somehow," she said. "If you have to rouse the whole tona*bold.” Sarah soon found her, sleeping soundly, and carried ter off to Perilla. “One moment. Miss Seymour." ate said. "Is Madame Malden subject to fancies? To Imaginations?" •At times, yes." tbe nurse replied. "Take her away, please, and ash; ter not to bate them any more." perilla had just been wakened next morning when Malcolm i rrived from the railroad station snd she hurried » greet him. " note, PriL* he said, as k settee to tte corner of Listen here.

You can speak tow. 1 doubt anybody is listening.” i “WelL then," and Malcolm spoke tn ! a low whisper, "there are bints, or at . leant, vague murmurs about Pril being t nta»e with Corey In the room—you i knew. 1 think, so far. there is no barm • done, but.it is like a smoldering flame. I a tireath would set It oft. I saw your i two friends. Perilla. meaning Carteton ancCarmichael. and they agree it will , all fade away. If there Is nothing more I said or done. They tell me to beware of Firman, the little lawyer person down here. But Garth will be here by nocn. so he’ll handle that issue. You knew him, Perilla?" . “Yim. he’s a delightful man, and one of Corey's best friends." •Pm afraid It’s going to be difficult to decide what or who a best friend is. And here’* another thing. Leave tbe old fun to me. I've a notion I can fix her." Perilla had just summoned the servants when Dillon came with a message for Malcolm. It waa a command to visit tbe sitting room of his hostess at owe, Malcolm was not especislly pleased at tte tone of the message, but be went with Dillon at once, and was received by Madame Malden tn her most pompous and antagonistic mood. Yet It seemed to Malcolm’s watching eye thfit her glance softened just a mite at sight of the good-natured face, with its ktodly and sympathetic smile. CHAPTER IV “How do you do. Mrs. Malden F Malcolm said, cheerfully, grasping Madame Maiden's hand with a hearty shake, before she could stop him. "1 am Maicclin Fairfax, and I’m glad of an opportunity to talk to you. I think 1 enn be of real help to you.” Corey’s mother, who had become moire and more amaxed at this astonishing young man, began to look a little frightened. ■All rlphL all right, lady, don’t feel tilt: slightest alarm. But we must be alone. It is Imperative. Dillon, you IK® jrß “Expecting Mo to Come to Get a Confession of Your GuiltF may go. and Miss Seymour, too, please." He gave tbe nurse one of bls best smiles. The two faded from view, and Malcolm drew his chair nearer to the old lady, who was now fuming with anger. “There, there.” Malcolm said, sooth lugly, “I told yon I want to help you. Why get mad at thatF “You are the madman?" she exploded. “what do you mean by addressing me In thia manner?" “Can’t you even understand the meaning of words? My. my I What a pity I Now, I’m a good sort, and truly. 1 can help you. i have tots of influence. Listen here, now; where do you want to go? Just you tell me. and I’ll see that you get there.” “Get where? I don’t want to go anywhere." That’s too bad. but you’U have to. you know—after—you know — after what you said.” Malcolm spoke the last three words in a thrilling whisper, and with an expression on bis now solemn face, which betokened excruciating sorrow. “What did 1 say? 1 didn't say anything that I shouldn't—” “Oh. plffte! Don't take it that way. That won’t help you any. Too many witnesses. Drop IL Now. here’s where I come in. You must have a choice of places, and I can tell you that to be able to get your choice Is a great thing —y«. sir. a very great thing.” “Choice of whatF “Os places— places to go. 1 don’t know tbe nletet ones down here; I know the New York ones, tat I suppose you’d ratter stay near home.

Turtle doves—honey bees sugar plums, orange blossoms — oh. never has been steti such real real love. They were born for each other —buL pshaw, all this yon know, all this can recall to you the love-making of your own husband, and then you hint, you say outright, that Perilla killed Corey! A long time they have suspected you of being mad. now they know it. you proved it on yourself. So. as 1 say. you must go—go—“ “Not to a madhouse—no. NO!" •Don’t shriek. Be quiet Not to a madhouse now. perhaps, but to an asylum—and then, you’ll go on. you know. You can’t stop, you're gone too far. You see. an accusation of murder is a pretty serious matter. Whew I I wonder if you know how serious! And yon know tn your heart Corey was not killed. You know It! Yet to satisfy a small, mean false Impulse of—yes you know of what—of Jealousy, against this girl who was loved by your son. you accuse her terribly—too terribly to think of. and—your act. your words recoil on you and you will get the welldeserved punishment. “You know all this Is true. You know there are great and powerful ones In Washington—who are none too fond of you. Who loved Corey, but who would not raise a finger to save a Jealous maniac from the madhouse where she already belongs. You know Perilla adored ner husband, and that your accusation Is rubbish. Yet you would willingly drag the old and honored name of Malden through the mud and mire of a silly murder trial, which could have but one result—Perllla’s triumphant acquittal and your own Infamy and degradation. “John Lovell Is not the man to take quietly an Insult to his daughter, and I am not sure he has not already started on the matter of your mental re- I sponslbility. Now, you must see for yourself—lf this Is one of your rational days—that 1 am saying all this to you for your own sake as well as my sister’s. 1 don’t pretend to an entirely disinterested friendship for you, but I do stand ready to befriend you If you play fair with Perilla. “Listen to this; It Is short; you can learn It: “Os what did Corey die. according to the doctor's certificate? “Os heart failure. “What caused this heart failure? An unsuspected weakness of the heart. That was made out and signed by one of the most famous physicians in Washington. and do you dare presume to pit your feeble knowledge of physiology against his? i>o you dare say he js wrong and you are right?

You have Influence, you are kind-heart-ed, save me—save me, for Corey’s sake, save me!" “You should have thought of this before you denounced your daughter-in-law. But your lawyer, Mr. Farman, Is coming soon. Perhaps he can find a way ouL" s-v “No. he can't—he la a nltwiL Oh. you help met You are a fine young man, and Farman is a tack number.” “But he knows you said that about Perilla. and be know* how serious it is.” "I’ll teil him I didn’t mean IL Hl be lovely to Perilla. and it won’t be pretense. 1 do love her. 1 took to her at once. And if she will only forgive my—" "Look here, Mrs. Malden, you'll have to have that out with Perilla. She la * not easy to hoodwink, and you’ll have to convince her of your sincerity. But If you can do thaL tbe rest will follow. Otherwise. I’m pretty sure you’re on the road to somewhere, and that somewhere is only a step in the direction of other from which one does not come tack." “And will you send Perilla to meF “I prefer to be bere also. May 1 ring the bellF “Do. That brass one You insist on staying with usF “1 fear I musL But don't let-me embarrass you. It will be better for you to have me here." Perilla was soon found and brought to the sitting-room. “Sit down." was tbe gruff Invitation. ”1 want to make up with you." At a meaning glance from Malcolm Perilla said pleasantly, “Ob, tbere’a nothing to make up. You didn't want to see me. but now you have, seen me again, f’m not so bad, am IF “You're lovely! I don't wonder Corey adored you.” Perilla nearly fell off her chair to surprise. What miracle had Malcolm brought about? “Yea. be did adore me We planned to to *o tatoW—" “Yea, dear—yea. yea.

Tte lawyers will ba here, and I want you to see them, if possible, io my place i can’t under stand their talk and their armaments as 1 used to, and you must help me out—both of you." She smiled at Malcolm, who grinned back at her, and they both said they would do all they could to help. Perlite said afterward that she was scared to death that Madame Malden would kiss her, but the nurse cause then and took the old tedy away. “Did you hypnotize berF whispered Perilla to her brother. “Maybe.

Mark Twain** Wit Shown in Collection of Aphorisms Being a philosopher, Mark Twain was given to creating aphorisms—hi* diaries published in Cosmopolitan are full of them. For example: Grief can take care of Itself, tat to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with. Have a place for everything and keep the thing somewhere else. Thia la not advice, it is merely custom. A man should not be without morals; It is better to have bad than none at all. My books, are water, thc«e of the great geniuses are wine. Everybody drinks water. It takes me a long time to lose my temper, but once lost I could not find It with a dog. It is not best that we use our morals week days. It gets them out of repair for Sundays. The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he Is an optimist after it. he knows too litfle. Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person. Find Out From Your Doctor if the “Pain” Remedy You Take Is Safe. Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s Well - Being to Unknown Preparations BEFORE you take any preparation you don’t know ail about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it —in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin. We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called “pain” remedies were advised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains and safe for the average person to take regularly. , You can get real Bayer Aspirin at • any drug store — simply by never asking for it by the name “aspirin” alone, but always saying BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy.
