Yes, there to such a creaturo na tho
tod unselfish wife, though few husbands
may admit the fact. But she to a woman
with whom I havo tlttlo sympathy. For
tho superfluity of a. virtue may becomi
nothing moro nor less than a weakness
And the woman who overdoes her unself
fUhness show a flaw in character.
The wife who cheerfully resigns all her
pergonal dues and rights always strikes
mo aa oolorless. Sho dooBn't bother to
(insert herself. Probably she Is a moral
coward. In the lower classes she Is a
physical coward, afraid of personal vit
lenco on the part of some drunken hus
band. Almoot always Is sho morally lazy,
afraid to assert herself.
Every wife has a right to her own
chare In the pleasures and tho relaxations
of life. If she elves them up, thon, In
nine cases out of ten she Is not only spoil
In? her own cha.rs.oter, but Bhe Is ruining
tho character of those around, 'and par
ticularly that of her husband.
"Yes, Mary to very unselfish," admitted
a husband tho other day. (It Is somewhat
rare for tho average husband to admit
any such thing, bjr the way.) "Bha really
polls the children and myself all tho
tlmo. Wo aro all the most helpless crea
tures without her, depending on her for
everything."
Now, this man wm quite well off, from
the llnanclal point of view, and could well
have afforded a couple of maids to do the
work of tho houao. But "Mary would
not hoar of It."
"John and the children would die of
indigestion If I didn't do tho cooking for
them," she asserted solemnly. "And you
know. too. how particular John Is about
everything ho eats. Instead of lunching
In town ho always motoro homo for his
midday meal."
"But doesn't that tie you down to the
kitchen drtadfullyJ" I asked.
"Well, yes. It does," was the answer;
"but I don't mind. Ho likes certain
things, for lunch that take a very long
time to prepare, so I spend all my morn
ings In the kitchen. I've always done
that, and it would hurt John very much
if I let htm lunch In town now, llko hto
other men friends."
John certainly was selfish but, on In
Yestlgatlng things, one could see that ho
had drifted Into it through his wife's
servile attitude.
"Don't you like motoring?" I asked
erne Baturday, when John and tho three

children had Just set off on a pleasure
trip.
"Oh, yes, I'm crazy about It," the llttlo
wife replied quickly. "But, then, tho
children are so fond of It that I don't llko
to tako up ono of their Beats. Tho car
only holds four comfortably, and the
children' don't llko to be crushed. Bo I
seldom go out In the car."
So this woman was not only ruining
tho disposition of her husband by her
unselfishness, but thoroughly spoiling her
children, too. Ao I had fully expectod,
they proved to bo selfish, exacting,
thoughtless little things, bent on their
own pleasure nnd hoedless of their moth
er's drab existence, "Glvo up" was a
phrase thoy could not adequately com
prehend. Never In their petted lives had
they been called upon to give up nny
thlng. "Mother will do that," was the In
variable cry. "Mother will stay at home.
Mother will write that exercise for me.
Mother will pay that bill."
And mother Invariably did. That was
tho pity of It. Therein lay the ruination
of the family.
The eldest daughter wanted a new dress
for a party. Only ono day remained till
the great event. There was scarcely
tlmo to make ono at homo and, besides,
sho couldn't sew well. There was no
necessity, for mother always did every
thing. "Oh, mamma," she would cry, "can't
you coax father to let me havo money
for this dress today, and I'll run Into
town and get It right away?"
"No, dear," said mother quickly; "don't
bother father about money. I'll make the
dross for you tonight"
And sho did.', She sat up all night long
to make that gown, and It looked beau
tiful. But her eldest daughter barely
thanked her. Certainly her husband
didn't '
"You look very pale and seedy today,
Mary," he said at lunch in an injured
tone, "I can't think how you'vo lost all
your pretty color and how you'vo grown
so haggard looking! I'm BUre you have
everything you want here. By the way,
this lunch Is miserably cooked today."
And "Mary" said nothing. Sho didn't
even explntn that she had been up all
night sowing, ruining her own health and
looks In order to save him spending
money.
The wife who acts like this 'is foolish,
and her only reward lies In being finally
regarded as a nonentity and a cipher In
her own family circle.

Ilarptree, who has a hold on John Vrlelgh,
and ilrs. Travers, Erlelph's sister. Mrs.
Trovers was deserted bg the man she
loved, and this man was accldentallg
killed bg John Erlelgh. Mrs. Travers does
not know that her own brother killed the
father of her child, James
James Travers falls in Iou iclth Dug's
elater Joan. In an automobile accident he
saves her life, but loses Ms rBM hand,
and his career as a pianist.
Mrs. Travers sees yerttffati and Informs
Mm that 1 he exposes Erlelgh, she will
expose him IVImtxrlei takes his motor
car for a trip home. The car breaks down.
After walking half a mils irimbertri
trips over an obstruction. When he
awakens he finds himself In an old barn.
Sending over him Is Doctor Anderson, of
John Erlelgh's school. Doctor Anderson
and an assistant attempt to transport him
across a river. In a struggle IVtmberlei
draws his revolver, fires and makes his
escape.
Lord Arthur discovers Yertlgan wound
ed, lie says he was following two men
who had attempted to kidnap Oug TTtm
berleg. Lord Arthur disbelieves the story and
demands from Erlelgh that Vertfpan be
dismissed. The truth Is that Doctor ..tiufer
eo, who attempted the kidnapping. Is In a
plot of which l'ertfyan knows nothing.
James Travers is deeplg in love with
Lady Joan Meriet.
Her mother and his mother agree that
the children must not be encouraged,
Without warning, Guy Wimberley dis
appears, Erleigh tells Anne that the boy has run
away. After Lord Arthur's accusation w
against Mrs, Travers, Krleioh goes to Lon
don. CHAPTER XVli-Cont!nued)
"f-pHAT will do this matter must be
J. cleared up at onoe of course, there
Jiao been some mistake a cruel mistake
she will explain she to so fond of Anne
of course, she could not do anything to
Injure Anne."
Lord Arthur came to his Bide and
caught him roughly by the arm.
"You'd better go to bed," he exclaimed,
"and get a night's rest You were up all
last night"
"I can sleep In the train."
"They'll wonder where you have gone
the police, I mean; I shall have to ex
plain." "You can say I've gone to look for the
boy," Erlelgh answered dreamily. He
seemed dazed almost halt asleep.
"Come, you'd better rest. You can
tackle the Job with more chance of suc
cess If you get some rest. Your sister Is
a clever woman you will need to have
your wits about you."
Erlelgh freed his arms with a sharp
movement and faced Lord Arthur Meriet
"Do you suppose I could rest?" ho said
fiercely, "I'm going to see my sister, and
When I have proved these lies to be false
I'll deal with Vertlgan and you and Dick
Meriet"
He left the room, walking unsteadily
like a drunken man. A few minutes later
the inspector called, and Lord Arthur
said that Erlelgh had gone to London.
"Why's thatT" queried Mr, Russell.
"What's the sense In that!"
"dot some Idea In hto head about the
boy wants to make Inquiries himself.
Thought it best It Irt him go. He'll be
back tomorrow. Any news?"
"None, my lord I mean nothing def
inite." Grace Travers had fearely finished her
breakast when the servant entered the
room and told her that her brother had
called to see her.
'My dear Jack," she exclaimed, rising
to greet htm. "What an hour to call I ."
and then, as she saw his haggard face
and sunken eyes, she paused. "What is
the matter?" she faltered. "What has
happened?"
He closed the door before ha answered
her. Then he said quietly, "Wimberley
3wu run away from school," and looked
hard at her face to see how she took the
news,
"tJujf Wlmherleyl aha itammra.
SMART COSTUMES FOR THE FANCY DRESS DANCE
"Run away? Oh, my dear Jack, how ter
rible I But, of course, you'll find htm."
Ho took off his overcoat and laid It on
a chair. Then ho looked at her again
without speaking.
"My dear Jack," she enld In a low voice,
"I this Is awful for you; but what nro
you doing hero why havo you come to see
me?"
"I want you to toll me where he is,"
man the surprising reply.
"Where Guy Wimberley Is-Jnck. you
must be mart. How should I know?"
He looked at her long and steadllv with
his burning eyes. She faced him h"ldly,
and then, nfter a moment's silence,
laughed.
"You are behaving very oddly. Jack,"
she Bald "very oddly indeed. I expect
you're done up you poor old chap; you'd
better sit down and have some breakfast.
I'll get some coffee made for you, nnd
some eggs nnd bacon or there Is some
cold chicken I dare say you'd rather have
that. Then you must tell me overythlng
nnd perhaps I may bo able to nuggest
somo plan .Tnck. why do you keep looking
at me. llko that?"
"Where, to the boy?" he said honrsely.
"What have Vertlgan nnd Dick Meriet
done with htm?"
"Mr. Ve'tlgnn?" sho queried. "Dick
Meriet? Jack, you said Just now that Guy
hart run away."
"You know that he has not run away.
You know that these two scoundrels
Grace, for henven'n Bako help me to get
the boy back. If nnvthlng were to happen
Jo him my life would he ruined."
"I really. I do not understand. Jack.i'
He caught at her arm and gripped It
tightly.
"You lie!" ho shouted. "You aro In
this one of the gang Lord Arthur haB
told me ho knows all about you I'm not
going to talk of that now you've got to
find the boy and bring him back to me
or you'll go to prison. Do you understand
that? Prison not the sort of place you'd
core for at all."
"Are you mad?" she said, struggling.
to free herself from tne gTip or ms nngers.
'What was It for?" he said. "Money,
I Buppose or did Vertlgan threaten to tell
every one that you had never been mar
ried? Why have yon fallen so low?"
"Jack,'' Bhe said plteously, "give me a
chance to defend myself. You must be
reasonable what are tho charges against
me?"
He let go of her and ahe staggered
backward Into a chair. Then he told her
what Lgrd Arthur had told him, almost
word for word.
"Is that all?" she said.
"Is It not enough?"
"That I happened to be at St Pancrae
the day an attempt was made to carry off
young Wimberley? That I happened to
know Dick Meriet? That I am acquainted
with Mr, Vertlgan one of your masters?
Is that elir
"It is enough," he said harshly. But
he knew that It was not enough, that It
was, in fact, very little Indeed.
"Why, you have not even proof that this
man Vertlgan or that Dick Meriet has
anything to do with auy"s disappearance,"
she continued.
"No, but you shall give us the proof.
You know '
Bhe laughed, "Upon my -word, Jack,
one would not believe you were an edu
cated man."
"Do you deny that you know all about
this hideous affair?"
"Of course I deny It"
"Then you know Dick Meriet? Do you
deny that?"
"I do happen to know bim," ahe said.
"I do not care for him. I Jtave not seen
htm for some time. I don't suppose I
shall ever see him again. Now look here.
Jack, if you like to belieye that your
sister to a vile woman"
"Lord Arthur believes It," he broke In
roughly, "and there is enough evidence
to convince Lady Wimberley. Of course,
I can never.marry ber npw."
"I see," she said slowly. "It is the
thought of that which to troubling you.
Now, took here, Jack, you must be
sensible. We've got to nnd the boy.
That's tn chief thing. I'll do all J can
for you, but you mustn't get Into your
head that I know anything about Guy's
disappearance. It's quite likely that this
fellow Vertlgan has something to do
with It. You admlttod that tho man had
you In his power. Perhaps that la why
he came to Ilarptree.
Sho smiled as sho looked at him. In
stead of troubling to defond herself any
further, sho had chosen to attack him.
Ho could not meet tho inquiring look in
her eyes.
"Perhaps." sho went on, "he is In an
Impregnable position. Supposing he were
to comu to you tomorrow and say to you,
'I know where Wlmberloy Is, but I do
not chooso to tell you,' What would you
do?"
"What should I do7" Erlelgh echoed.
"Yes. Would you daro to hand htm
over to tho pollco, knowing that ho could
ruin you and ruin the school sweep
away your Ilfework with a few words?"
Ho was silent, and then suddenly tho
truth broko In upon him. His sister had"
been mixed up In this plot to nbduct
Lord Wimberley. Sho had threatened to
betray her accomplice, Vertlgan had told
her that If she betrayed him he would
ruin her brother; Vortigan had never
asked her to be hto wife,
"You you aro mixed up in this?" he
stammered. "I Bee It all now. You
wished to get out of It when I I became
engaged to Lady Wimberley. Vertlgan
has threatened to betray mo. When you
came to me the other day with that
story nbout his haying proposed to you
I quite understand."
Sho did not speak, Her face waB very
white, and Bhe looked down at tho fire.
"Grace," he said fiercely, "do you think
I'd let my own Interests stand In the
way7 For Heaven's sake, If you know
anything that will help me to find young
Wimberley tell me."
"I know nothing," she answered In a
low voice. "I cut myself off from them
some time ago." .
"But you knew that they Intended to
take the boy away. You can come for
ward and give that evidence to tho po
lice." "I could do so If I choose."
"And you do not choose to do bo?
"I do not. If you take me Into court I
shall perjure myself."
"Why?"
"Because my evidence would not help
you to find young Wimberley. and It
would destroy you completely'
"Do not think of me put me aside."
She shook her head. "My dear Jack,"
shu said, "you havo behaved very de
cently to meall my life. Do you think
I'm going to Bimum you up? It Isn't oven
as If my doing so would help you to
find Wimberley, You and Lord Arthur
have already Buspected Vertlgan and
Dick Meriet. I can't help you to bring
the crime home to them. I know nothing
about this affair at all absolutely noth
ing. You had better tell me all you
know,"
He told her, as briefly as possible.
When he had finished she said:
"It's possible Vertlgan and Meriet have
nothing to do with it I suppose that
hasn't occurred to you,"
He made light of the suggestion, nnd
once more began to entreat her to come
forward and tell the police what she
knew about Vertlgan and Meriet But she
was resolute, and would not give way an
inch. An hour later he left her. He
could not afford to waste any mora time.
Rut he had quite made up his mind
that ho would force her tof speak the
truth even If the telling of It branded
him as a murderer In the eyes of all
the world.

Porti Season
By M31S. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author ot "The New Housekeeping."
Country dwollers know that this to pig
sticking time, and that the farmers aro
killing their hogs. Thto means or should
mean that pork can bo bought at a lower
price, since this to tho season of Its prime.
It Is also the season when pork Is most
wholesome, as winter cold will digest ade
quately tho fat nnd rich meat which tho
stomach cannot so easily handle In
warmer weather.
Tho projudlco that pork to unwhole
some Is rapidly disappearing, and while
not ns suitable for frequent consumption
aa beef or mutton It offers a desirable
chango In the winter diet. Even at tho
fairly high price prevailing pork com
pares favorably with mutton In price, be
cause while mutton fat cannot be used In
cooking every particle of pork drippings
can bo utilized.
One of the best cuts ot pork at this
season, quite unknown to many house
keepers, Is "a fresh ham." This to tho
hind leg before It is smoked. It usually
weighs from 7 to 12 pounds, and Is best
when roasted. The meat then tastes quite
llko chicken, and If sliced very thin can
deceive even tho best of us. The meat
Is tender, whlto and of a much more del
icate flavor than other pieces. It to an
economical cut, because any left-overa
can be used in a great number of ways.
For those who llko the smoked taste,
the regulation ham Is always In season.
What cannot bo done with a slice of ham?
In these high-price days even "ham and"
Is not to bo despised. And broiled, baked,
boiled, minced or grated, every vestige ot
a ham can bo used up. No other meat
Imparts such a nut-like flavor, so that It
Is par excellence (together with bacon) the
meat to cook with other foods less full
of flavor. A slice of ham laid over mut
