But during tho 'weeks that followed
tho Judgo saw It was not all right.
Gerry had less and leps tlmo for golf and
more and moro for whlskys nnd sodas.
Tho Judgo was troubled and felt n sort
of relief when from far away Alan Wayne
cropped into his affairs ami gave him
something rise to think about.
When Angus MeDalc, of McDalo &
McIJale, called without appointment tho
Judgo know nt onco that lie was going
to hear something nnout Alan.
"Lucky to find you In," puffed Mc
Dnle. "It Isn't business exnetly, or I'll
have phoned. I wns Just pnsslng by."
"Well, what Is it?" asked tho Judge,
offering his visitor a fresh cigar.
RAINBOW CLUB
Kind Old Flapear Elephant
Such a hustling and crowding and
jostling when the new moving pic
ture theatre opened in Jungletown!
There was a long, long line, reaching
nearly half a mile from tho ticket
window.
When Flapcnr Elephant came up to
the window tho
cashier said brisk
ly, "Double prico,
please,"
"Double price,
indeed!" said Flap
e n r indignnntly.
"What for, I'd like
to know?"
Kind Hid 1'lapour
Blephant
"Why," said tho cashier timidly, "Mr.
Monkey says that you take up nt
least twice as much room as any ono
else, and it's only fair that you should
pay double."
Flapoir stamped his foot in a rage.
Every ono began to tremble, and Jocko
Jackal, the cashier, began to wish he
hadn't said anything about double j
price.
But all of a sudden Flapear saw the
funny side of the situation and laugh
ed and laughed until tho earth shook.
"Well, Avell!" ho said. "Why, of
course, I must pay double and it's
cheap at that." So all tho other ani
mals breathed p. sigh of relief.
Just as Flapear was about to step
inside with the others, he heard a
sound like sobbing, nnd, looking
around, ho saw Baby Baboon sitting
on the ground and crying as if her
heart would break.
Picking her up tenderly with his J
trung, Flapear asked, "Why, my dear
little Baboon, what IS the matter?"
"Oh, Mr. Flapear," said Baby Ba
boon, they won t let any one under ,
two years old into the movies, and I'm j
nnlv n venr nnd n half '
"Well, well, well!" said Flapear,
"We'll just seo about this."
So he stalked inside with Baby Ba
boon still in his trunk and sat down
with a jolt that shook the whole the
atre. No one dared say a word, so he
perched Baby Baboon up on his head,
and there she sat all afternoon, look
ing at the pretty pictures.

"It's this. That boy, Alan Wayne
sort of protege of yours, Isn't he?"
"Yes In a way yes," said the Judge
slowly, frowning. "What has Alan done
now?"
"It's like this," said Mebntc. "Six
months oko we sent Mr. Wayne out on
contract ns assistant to Wnlton. Walton
no soonor pot on t'-e Rrour.it than he
fell slek. Ho put Wnyno In charRe nnd
then he died. Now this Is the point.
Mr. Wayne seems to have promoted him
self to Walton's pay. He had the cheek
to drnw Ids own ns well. He won't be
here for weeks, but his accounts rame In
todny. I want to know If you seo any
reason why wp shouldn't have that money
back, to fny (he least?"
Tho Judge's faro cleared. "Didn't he
I tell you ho drew Wnllon's pay?"
I "Not a wont. Srtltt lie'tl ejcptflltt Recounts
when he got here, but UtrU soft of thing
takes a lot of explaining."
"Well," said the Judge, "I enn tell you.
Walton's pay went to his widow through
me. I've been doing somo puzzling on this
case alreruly. Now will you tell mo how
Alan got tho money without drawing on
you 7"
"Oh, there wns plenty of money lying
nround. The Job cost 10 per cent, less
than Walton's estlmnte. If ho'd come
back wo'd havo hauled him over the eoals
for; that blunder. There wns tho usual re
servo for work In Inaccessible regions and
then tho people wn did tho Job for paid
10 days' bonus for finishing that much
ahead of contract tlmo."
Tho Judge mused. "Was the Job satis
factory tn the people out there?" ho
asked.
"Yes. It was," said MeDalc, bluntly.
"Most satisfactory. Hut thero was n funny
thing there, too. Thoy wrote that while
they did not approve of Mr. Wayne's
time-saving methods, the finished work
had their absolute acceptance."
Tho Judgo was silent for a moment.
"Vou wnnt my advice?"
"Yea, not for our own sake, but for
Wayno's."
"Well," said tho Judge. "I'm going to
give It to you for your sake. When you
stumble across n boy that can cut 10 per
cent, off tho working nnd tlmo estimates
of nil old hnnd like Walton you bind him
to you with n long contract at nny salnry
he wnnts. And Just ono thing; moro: When
Alan Wnyno stenls a cent from you or
pf.OOO you como to me nnd I'll pny It."
McDalo's eyes narrowed nnd ho putted
nervously at his cigar. He got up to tako
his leave. "Judge," ho said, "your head
Is on right and your heart's In the right
plnco ns well. I begin to seo that widow
business. Wnyno sized us up for a hard
headed firm when It comes to paying nut
what we don't hnvo to and wo arc. It
wasn't law, but ho wna right. Walton's,
work was dono Just ns If ho'd been ullve.
Kven n Scotchman can seo that. You
needn't worry. A man that you'll back

McDale."

IT WAS Allic that discovered Alan ns
tho Klenlc steamed slowly down tho
Solent. He was nlrcndy comfortably
established in his chair with a small pile
of fiction heslda him.
She paused before sho approached him.
Alan had nlwnyn Interested her. Per
haps It was because he had kept himself
nt a distance, but then ho hnd a way of
keeping hla distance from nlinost every
body. Allx hnd thought of him heretofore
ns a modern exquisite subject to atavlc
nts tunt, in times past, una jeu rum into
more than one barbarous escapade. It
wns the flare of daring tn these shameful
outbursts that had saved him from a
suspicion of effeminacy. Now in Lon
don sho had by chanco heard things -of
him that forced her to a readjustment of
her estimate. In six months Alan had
turned himself Into a mysery.
"Well," she said, coming up behind
him, "how are you?"
Alan turned his head slowly nnd then
threw off Ills rugs and sprang to his
feet.
"The sky la clear," he said, "where did
you drop from?" Ills eyes measured her.
She wns ravishing In a fur toque and
coat which hart yet to recelvo their
baptism of Import duty.
"Oh," said Allx, "my presence Is hum
drum. Just tho usual returning from six
weeks abroad. Hut you I You come from
the haunts of wild beasts and from all
accounts you have been one."
'Been ono! From all accounts!" ex-
face ..Jll8t what do you roean?..
They started walking. "I mean that
even In Africa one can't hide from
Piccadilly. In Piccadilly you are already
known. Not as Mr. Alan Wayne, a New
York social satellite, but as a whirlwind
In shirt sleeves. Ten Percent Wayne, In
Bhort." She looked at hlnj with teasing
archness. She could seo that he was
worried.
"Satellite Is rather rough," remarked
Alan. "I never was that."
"All bachelors are satellites In tbe
nature of things satellites to other inan'a
wives."
"Have you a vacancy?" said Alan.
The turn of the tulk put Allx In her
element. She had never been an Ingenue.
She had been born wth an intuitive de
fense. Finesse was her motto and
artificiality was lier foil, it had never
been struck from her hands. On the
other hand Alan knew that every woman
who accepts battle ,can be reached even
If not conquered. It is the approaches
to her heart that a woman must defend.
Onco those are passed, the citadel turns
traitor.
They both, knew they were embarking
upon a dangerous game, but Allx had
played it often. No pretty woman takes
her European degree without ample oc
casion for practice and Alls had been
through the European mill.
She threw out her daintily shod fe t
u she walked. She was full of life. She
felt llkfi skipping The light of battle
(lanced merrily In her eyes. She made no
other reply.
"I met lots of people we both knew,"
she snld, nt last.
"Which one of them pnssed on the news
that I had taken In ll, ui.- nr 1 uil.l
beast?"
"Oh. that was the Honorable Percy. I
only cntiRht n few words. He wns talk
ing nbout n ninn known ns Ten Percent
Wnyno nnd the only lime he's ever seen
the shirt-sleeve policy wofk with natives.
V hen I learned It was Africa. I linked tip
with you nt once and screamed, and he
turned to me mid said: 'You know Mr.
Wayne?' And I said t hnd thought t did.
but I found t only knew him tiro n
nuntre eplngles nnd wouldn't he drnw his
picture over again. Hut Just then Kidv
Merle signaled the retreat, and when the
men mine nut somebody rise snaffled
ColUngeford before T got n ehHiire."
"Oh, rolllngeford." said Alan, "t re
member." He frowned nnd was silent.
"Alan," said Allx, after a moment, "let
me warn you. I see a new tendency in
you. but before It goes nny farther tlmn
n lendetiey let tne tell yon Hint n thought
ful man Is n most nwful l.ore. Wbeh t
I caught sight nf you I thouaht. 'Whnt n
delightful little party,' but if vim re go-
lh to be pensive there nro other "
Alan glanced nt her. "Allx," he -said.
mimiottliiR her tone, "t see in you the
mnklURs of an nllogether .'harming wom-
nn. I'm not speaking of the painstaking
; veneer t suppose miu tired that In your
,.Mr. ui tn, uui wmii s iinoer it. I nrro
nifty be others, as $-on say. Pretty women
have tnkfti to wearing men for Imngles.
Hilt don't you mnke 11 mistake. I'm not
n bntiRlo. I've just come from tho un
clothed world of real things. To me a
man Is just a man. nnd. whnt's more, tt
woman is Just n woman."
"How 1111-Anierlenn." unlit Allx.
"It's moio than that," nnltl Alan, 'It's
pro-American."
Alls wns thoughtful tn her turn. Alan
caught her bv the arm nnd turned her
townrd the west. A ynwl was Just cross
ing the disk of the disappearing sun. Allx
felt a thrill nt his touch. "It's it sweet
picture. Isn't It?" sho said. "Hut you
mustn't touch me, Alan. It can't be Rood
for us."
"So you feel It, too." said Alan, nnd
took his hnnd from her arm.
During the voynge they were mtlch to
gether, not In dnrk corners, but waging
their battle In the open two swimmers
that fought each other, forgetting to light
the tide that was bearing them out to
sea. Alan was not a philanderer to snatch
nn unrequited kiss. To him n kiss wns
the sent of surrender. Hut to Allx the
Rntne wns Us own goal. As she had nl
wnys played It. nobody had over really
won anything. However, It did not take
her long to appreciate thnt In Alan sho
hnd nn opponent who wns constantly get
ting under her guard nnd malting her
feel things-things that wcro alarming In
Ihemselves llko the Jump of one's heart
Into the throat or the Intoxication thnt
goes with hot. rnclng blood.
Alan's power over women wns In voice
and words. If ho had been hideous It
would havo been the same. With his
tonguo ho carried Allx nwny and gave
her that sense nf Isolation which lulls a
woman Into laxity. One night ns they
sat sldo hy side, a. single grent rug
across their knees. Alan laid his hand
under cover on hers. A quiver went
through Allx's body. Her closed hnnd
stirred nervously, but she did not really
draw It nwny. "Alan," nho salii, "1'vo
told you not to! Please don't. It's com
montills sort of thing."
Alan tightened his Rrlp. "You say It's
common," he snld, "liecnuso you've never
thought It out. Lightning was common
till somebody thought It out. 1 sit be
side you without touching yon and wo
nro In two worlds. I grip your hnnd
tike this nnd tho abyss between us Is
closed. While I hold you nothing can
come between."
Allx's hnnd opened nnd settled Into
his. Alnn went on. "Words talk to the
mind, but through my hand my body
talks to yours In a language that was old
before words were born. If I nm full
of drenms of you nnd a desert Island, I
don't have to tell you nbout It beenuso
you nre with mo. The things I want,
you want. There aro no other things
In life for will!" I hold you our world Is
ono nnd It Is all ours. Nothing elso ran
roaoh us."
"Kor a whllo they snt silent, then Allx
recovered herself. "After nil," sho said,
"we're not on a desert Island, but n a
ship with eyes In every corner."
Allx leaned toward her. "Hut If wo
wore, Allx! If wo wero on n desert
Island you and I "
For a moment Allx looked Into tils burn
ing eyes. Sho felt that thero was fire
In her own eyes, too, n llro sho could
not altogether control. She disengaged
herself and sprnng tip. Alnn roso slowly
nnd stood beside her. Ho did not look
at her parted lips nnd hot cheeks; he
hnd suddenly becomo languid. "That's
It." he drawled, "eyes In every corner.
I wonder tiow many morals would stand
without other peoplo's eyes to prop
them up?"
Allx left him. Sho felt baffled, as
though she had tried desperately to get
a grip on Alan and her hand had slipped.
Sho felt vaguely that It was essential to
her to get a grip on him. Sho had never
played tho losing side beforo and she
was troubled.
Hut with the frank light of morning
her troubles melted Into nothing nnd she
summoned Alan to her sldo whenever
tho whim camo to hnr. Allx's party
looked on, amused. "It's nil right." said
a good-nntured matron, "they're cousins."
"Hn lia'H II COUSIIl. IS lie: rBliminuii
a discarded bangle, and added cynically,
"what a point d'applu!'.'
Premonition does not como to a woman
without cnuse. Toward the end of the
voyage Allx faced, wide-eyed, tho revela
tion that the stnkes of the game she and
Alan had played were body nnd soul.
"Alan," sho said one night, with droop
ing head, "I've had enough. I don't
want to play any mere. I want to quit."
Sho lifted tenr-llllcd eyes to him. The
foil of artificiality had been knocked
from her hand. She was nil woman and
defenseless. .. ,
Alnn felt a trembling In all his limbs.
"I want to quit, too, Allx," he said in his

MORE PRACTICAL ADVICE
Declares That the Subject of One's Family
Budget Is Not So Important as the Way
in Which It Is Managed
E'i'.H' day the Hudget Kill tor receives
an Interesting contribution In the form
of comment on the vnrlous budgets sub
mitted by cnndldates for tho prizes of
fered. When Mr. M. wrote In to tell us
that living on less than a $20-a-week In
come wns a common occurrence, every
ono very naturally agreed with him.
N'nw a housekeeper, nml a prnctlcal one.
writes U tell her views on tho atl-ttu-portnnt

families live on less than a N budget:

I'lifortunntely, the fact that so many
families must manage on less than JC0 n
week dues not lessen tho care used to

For a family of live to live properly,

The bnby's first tooth should be guarded

About HOO children receive dental treat

the lnrgo number, he said, being duo to
early neglect. Falso teeth, ho declared,
aro preferable to a mouthful of decaying;
teeth which many ndults endure.
"Tho teeth aro tho sentinels -which pre
pare food for digestion," Director Kru

hotbed for many germs that are taken in
accidentally. Among the many dlsenses
which may enter through the mouth are
tuberculosis, typhoid fever, pneumonia;

For, oh, I need them now.
