The debutante affairs are comity; on

iter Instance, Luclle Carter had a pretty
luaeheon giYcn for hor by her mother,
I Mrs. George Brooke, out at Hock Itose,
ITtee home of Mrs. Edward IC Ilowlnnd, nt
'Radnor. Mrs. Howianu nas routed the
Sfcousa to the Brookes, and Is llvlhe In
ffofsw York this year, you know. Then
Mrs. Perslfor Fraaer has sent out the In-
Ultatlons for her grnnaaauBnier, alarm,
fwho is the daughter of Percy Frnzcr.
iKtr mother, you know, was Miss Mary
MVelsh, who married Corllcs Morgan after
ffcer dlvorco from Tcrcy, and died several
f years ago. If Maria resembles her mother
fat all she Is sure to bo very pretty.
Another delightful tea wilt bo given
at the Acorn Club on November 16, to
Introduco Katherino Emily Tyson. Bho
Ju the eldest daughtor of tho Itov. Stuart
Ixyson, and 1 lato wife, who was Mlas
Katherino llmlly Itosonsarten, so her
t family connection In this city Is very
"wtd. She Is the granddaughter of tho
flats Mitchell Georgo Rosengarten, and,
therefore, a niece of Mitchell and Harold
' Bosengarten, and Is, of course, a great
! alece of tho much-loved "Uncle Joe" and
"Aunt Fanny" of that name and tho nu-
r serous other nunts, uncles and cousins.
i Then, on tho Tyson side, there aro many
aunts and uncles. Her aunt, Mrrt. Her
' man Denckla, will cliaperon her during
the winter, and she Is bringing out her
i daughter Paulino Ihls year also. There
i were Ave Tyson girls and the one brother
Btuart Miss Carrie Tyson married
Percy Drayton, and Miss Patty Tyson Is
Mrs. Brentwood Smith. Miss Mary and
Miss Esther did not marry, but Miss
Edith became Mrs. Herman Denckla.
.You know how beautiful these sisters
are, so Katherlne has a goodly ancestry
'' ef wonderful looks. Her grandmother on
' toe Tyson side was Miss Mary Stuart,
'a sister of the late Mrs. Cuylor Patter-
ton, who was Miss Nelllo Stuart.
Katherlne Is at present the guest of the
(Floyd Tomktnses at their home, 1904 Wal-
Imit street.

' week of a bad scare threo attractive
(Women from Philadelphia had whilo mo
i'toring this summer Just outside of Win-
1 ter Harbor. They wero going easily
1 along the road when suddenly turning a
sharp curve four men, evidently mucli
'the worse for wear In tho matter of
- spirits, stepped out Into the road and
called out that if they attempted to go
en they would follow. Of course, said
three damsels were kscarcd pink, and
' started tearing1 along the road like sixty,
and aB they went they removed their
Jewels to a place of safety. Finally
they came to a bod place In tho road
and, hitting a hugo boulder, the engine
refused to go further. They wore ter
ribly frightened nnd started to run. My
dears, they ran four miles and finally
icarae to a farmhouse, where they tele
f phoned to "Billy" for another car. When
' they went lator for tho damaged car
' they found that the men had followed and
'hid taken most of tho tools out of tho
: box. So it wasn't so funny after all. It
was the getting tho Jowelry safely put
- away that killed me. Let us hopo they
; had on extra heavy silk, for tho usual
ones are 'pretty thin these dayB, and tho
r Jewels probably worked about a bit. It's
i. wonder they did not cut through. Don't
' talk to me about women losing their

LAW shrugged Impatiently. "What's the
J difference T He's there to stay; and he's
Just an dead under the stars as he'd be
under the sand. I'd rather lie facing the
sky than the grass roots."
"But you must have known It would
get out. some time. This puts both of us
In a very bad light."
"I know. But I stood on my cards. I'd
have preferred to report It, but I'd keep
still again, under the samo circumstances.
You seem to consider that an Insult. If It
l.i, I don't know how to compliment you,
ma'am." . .
Alaire pondered this statement briefly be
fore Baying, "You have a strange way of
looking at tho affair a strange, careless,
unnatural way. It seems to me."
"Perhaps that's the fault of my train
ing. I'm not what you would consider a nice
person ; the death of Pannio Hanchez means
nothing whatever to me. If you can grasp
that fact, you'll see that your own reputa
tion weighed heavier In my mind than tho
lives of a dozen Mexicansor whites, for
that matter. People know me for what I
ntn. and that may have had something
to do with my decision."
"I go anywhere, everywhere. No one has
over had the effrontery to question my ac
tions," Alaire told him. stiffly.
"And I don't aim to give 'em a chance."
Dave was stubborn.
There was another Interval of silence.
"You heard what Jose Bald. What are
you going to do?"
Dave made a gesture of Indifference. "It
doesn't greatly matter. I'll tell him the
truth, perhaps."
Such an attitude was Incomprehensible
to Alaire and brought an Impatient frown
to her brow. "You don't seem to realize
that he will try to revenge himself."
"You might warn him against any such
foolishness. Jose has some sense."
The woman loked up curiously. "Don't
you know how to be afraid T Havent you
any fsarT she asked, ,
Dave's gray eyes were steady as 'he an
swered: "Ycs'm! I'm afraid this thing Is
going to spoil our friendship. I've been
desperately afraid all along that I might
have hurt your reputation. Even now I'm
afraid, on your account, to make public
Panfllo Hanchez's death. Yes"m, I know
what It is to be afraid."
"I presume the law would hold you blame
less." she said, thoughtfully.
"If there was any doubt about that It
would be another matter entirely, A
Hanger can ret away with a heap more
than killing a Mexican. Not It's up to you
to say what I shall do."
"Let me think It over. Jose mustn't know
today, that's certain."
"I'm In your hands."
Tbey returned to the automobile In si
lence, but as they took their seats Dave
said:
"You're tired, ma'am. Wont you let me
driver
"Can 70ur
When he smiled bis answer, Alaire was
only too glad to give up the wheel, for her
perves were Indeed unsteady and she was
grateful for an oportunlty to think out tha
best course to pursue In this unexpected
difficulty. Later, as she listened to Law's
Inconsequential talk with Dolorea and
Jose, and watched the way he handled the
car, eh marveled at his composure. She
wondered if this man could have a heart.
It became evident to Dave, as the after
noon progressed, that they would be very
lata In arriving at Las Palmas j for al
though he drove as rapidly as he dared over
such roads, tha miles were long and the
going heavy. They were delayed, too, by
a mishap that held them back for aa hour
er two, and be began to fear that his hostess
would feel In duty bound to Insist upon ,lila
apandlnc the night at her home. To ac
eeyt, after hla clash with Ed Auatta, was,
of oaurse. Itnpoaatble, and he dreaded an
other explanation at this parttoular eriet.
Triat a crisis bi their relations had arisen
Kji fait sues. Ma bad tried to make i4ala
bis siiltuA ot inlM toward tha kUUng at
pananeu, aua ws wiaaawu at a
tr
understood the one c-r agreed with the
other. Probably she considered him In
human, or, what vtns worse, cowardly In
attempting to aold the consequences of
his act
And yet he could not explain his full
anxiety to protect her good name with
out confessing to a deeper Interest In her
than be dared And hla Interest was grow
ing by leap and bounds. This woman fas
clnatrd him: he was Infatuated bewitched
by her personality. To bo near her af
fected him mentally and physically In n
way too extraordinary to analyze or to des
cribe, it was as If they were so sympatheti
cally attuned that the mere sound of her
voice set his whole being Into vibrant
response, whero all his life he had lain
mute, She played havoc with his resolu
tions, too. awakening In him the wildest
envy and desire. He no longer thought
of her aa, unattainable ; on the contrary,
her husband's shortcomings seemed prov
idential. Absurd, Impossible ways ot win
ning her suggested themselves. To risk
a further estrangement, therefore, was
Intolerable.
But as If his thoughts were telepathic
messages, she did the very thing he feared
"We won't be In before midnight," she
said, "but I'll send you to Joncsvllls In
the morning."
"Thank you, ma'am I'll have to go right
through."
"I'll get you there In tlmo for business.
We've gained n reputation for Inhoepl
tablenesa at Lns Palmas that I want to
overcome." In spite of their recent clash,
in spite of the fact that this fellow's ruth
lessnenn and Indifference to human life
shocked her, Alaire was conscious of her
obligation to him. and aware also of a
growing friendship between them which
made the present situation nil the more
trying. Law was likable, and ho Inspired
her with a sense of security to which she
had long been a strnnger. "Mr. Austin
ought to know," she added, "about this .
matter we wero discussing, and I want him
to meet you."
"He basr Dave said, shortly; at his tons
Alaire looked up.
"So!" Bhe studied his grim face. "And
you quarreled T"
"I'd really prefer to go on, ma'am. I'll
get to JonesvIIle somehow."
"You refuse to stay under his roofT"
"That's about IL"
"I'm sorry." Sho did not ask for further
explanation.
Evening came, bringing a grateful cool
ness, nnd they drove through a tunnel ot
light walled In by swiftly moving shadows.
The windows ot Las Palmas were black,
the house silent, when they arrived at their
Journey's end; Dolores was fretful, and
Jier mistress ached In every bone. When
Jose had helped his countrywoman Into the
house Alalrn said:
"If you Insist upon going through you
must take tho car. You can return It tomorrow,"
"And about PnnnioT" Dave queried.
"Walt. Perhaps I'll decide what Is best
to do In tho meantime. Good night."
Ijiw took her extended hand. Alaire was
glad that ho did not fondle It In that de
testable Mexican fashion of which she had
lately experienced so much; ulad that tho
grasp of his long strong fingers was merely
firm nnd friendly. When he stepped back
Into the car nnd drove oft through the
night she stood for some time looking after
him.
lllaxo Jones hnd Insisted that Dave live
nt his house, nnd the Banger had accepted
the Invitation; but ns It wns lote when the
latter arrived nt JonesvIIle, ho went to tho
hotel for n few hours" rest. When he drove
his borrowed machine up to the Jones house,
about breakfast time, both Bluso nnd Pnl
oina were delighted to see him.
"Say, now! What you doing rolllnn
around In a gasoline go-dcvlir the rldi

plain,
"Why. Mrs. Austin must have experienced
a change of heart!" exclaimed Paloma
"Shi never gno anybody a lift before."
Blato ngrecd. "Sho's euro poisonous to

critically. "These automobiles nre all right,
but wheneer I want to go somewhere and

Palomn hnd nearly scared mo to death.
On the road to Brownsville there used to
be a person who didn't llko me we'd had
a considerable unpleasantness, tn fact. One
day Pnloma nnd 1 were llckety-spllttln'

out. It was tho first one I'd ever heard,
nnd It fooled mo complete comln' right
al that particular turn of the rood, I euro
thought this party I spoke ot had cut down
on me, so I r'ared up and unllmbered. I

before Pnloma could explain. If he'd been
In sight I'd huve beefed him then nnd there,
and saved six months' delay No, gas

nerves, but I'm tuned too high "
"Father has never learned to drive a car
without yelling 'flee' and 'Haw,'" laughed
Palomn "And he thinks he has title to
t'ie whole road, too. You know theso
Moxlcnns are slow about pulling their
wagons to one side. Well, father got mad

Blase amlled broadly "It worked greet.
And, believe me. them Greasers took to the
ditch. I went through like hot wind, but
I shot up elxty-nve cartridges between here
and town."
"Why didn't Mrs. Austin ask you to stay
all night nt Las Palmas" the girl Inquired
of lav,
"She did."
"Wonderful I" Paloma's surprise was evi
dently sincere. "1 suppose you refused be
cause of the way Ed treated youT W!l.
I'd have accepted Just to spite him, Tell
me. Is she nicer'
"She's lovely."
This vehement declaration brought a sud
den gleam of Interest Into the questioner's
eyes
"They say aha has the most wonderful

"Now don't you start rlggln' yourself up

bis guest he complained, feelingly! "1 don't
know what's come over Paloma lately ; this
new dressmaker has plumb stampeded her.
Somsbody'd ought to run that feline out ot
towr before she ruins me."
"She Is a very nice woman," complacently
declared the daughter: but her father
snorted loudly,

"My! Hut you're proud"
"It ain't that." Blase defended himself,

"Humph! If he can't. Tad Lewis can.
Say. Dave, this case of yours has stirred
up a lot of feelln' against Tad, The prose

Not lone after breakfast Don Hlcardo

warmly greeted his two friends. To Dave
ho explained:
"Iast night I came to town, and this
morning I heard you had returned, so I rode

to meet Blanco tolay, and perhaps I shall
discover something."
"What takes you over thcret" Blaze In
quired "Walt until I tell you. Senor David, here,

honors my poor thirsty rancho with a visit

Federals an offer for fifty ot my best
