Despite the cell, despite bis disordered, iucongruouti evening clothes, her last glimpse of Harry gave her an impression o an older, n more manly nnd characterful figure than he had over been In her mind. As she hurried through the corridors the clang of cadi steel door behind her was a direct Impact upon her raw nerves. Hut the sharpest impart of all como out in tho street, when Uncle George was helping her into the taxi. And that impact watt merely the quietest of whispers boundlug close against her ear! ' "I'm still hoping you make good, Jennie. Hut, remember, if the brcnl.s ccr go agalust jou, tho pinch belongs to me." She went chill. That voice she know only too well. With a great effort she turned about. Hut, his bark toward hoc. Detective Scrgeaut Casey was moving in hit slow-footed mnmirr to ward the Criminal Courts Building. liven when she was snfely back in the luxury und occlusion of .Silver Bluffs, that low, even volco of Casey kept whispering its messngo in her ears. Tho Great Step HARRY'S assurance that he was a willing party to u framo-np brought Jennie relief. Hut a roitless ncss of soul developed, though she con trolled all external manifestations of it. Sho had won much, very much but iho was not satisfied with herself: and a sense of uncertainty, of insecurity, began to fill her with shadows. Sl'io was finding life, whish she had believed could be easily managed if one only took the proper thought, becoming rerv complex and showing hints of insta bility. Ho it was that when Kenneth began to urge a very early marriage, she con tented. Marringo would bring order and security out of nil this complexity. Tliev nt once began the business o' house-hunting; rather Kenneth did It all through a broker, and .It mile had nothing to do but ehooe between tin two apartments to which the selectln had already been sifted down nnd cpu between these two Kenneth hnd nlumly established his preference before In had seen either. Khc was rather appalled by the mag nificence of his choice the afternoon Kenneth took her to see It. Despite herself, as sho stood in the living-room, there Unshed upon her the contrast be ta ecu this Inrge room nnd the room where she hnd seen Hurry but h few davs before. "Kenneth fifteen rooms and ,sW baths! I never snw an upurtment like it!" "I should say not," ho laughed. "There arc not manv more like it on Park avenue or in New York either." "Hut we don't need nuything so large the first year." "Oh. yes we do!" He put his nrm about her. "Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Harrison will be doing a lot of enter taining this winter and wo can't be having the best people of New Yoik at anj ehcap-.Tohn place. We're going to bo the real people don't you forget that!" The best people of New York ! Yes, that wns where she wnb now ntnong the best people of New York. And once she was away from the friendly and ex perienced guidance of Mrs. Harrison and In her own home, she would have to face the great brilliant world nil alone. She caught a sharp breath, Could she do it? When be told her tho venrly rental she was ngaln taken bnck. "Nine thousand dollnis!" she bieathed. "Ken neth, can we jou, I mean afford that much just for rent?" n laughed, delighted at the effect of it all upon her. "The tent's noth ing!" And then ho explained: "I'm not going to bother you much about business, Jennie, but it's like this: I guess you know that things Inn'' pretty bad for the firm because of some trouble which threatened Mr. Conway from that Mr. Murdoek Kdwards killed Hut now since Conway is out of danger the firm's in better shape than it cor wus before. And besides, I'm carrying a lot of stock in several com panies making steel ami tne siockb Zooming and there's going to be a trc 'mendnu clenn-un." He ended with M his light, half-humorous laugh at hlm- O ol "T nntrhf n lm nVristid ; it's simply scandalous the way I'm making money and the way I'm going to make mom money!" Sho had winced at his reference to Harry as Murdock's slayer; but that feeling she had instantly suppressed. After all, Kenneth hnd spoken only out of ignorance. And as she gazed upon him, standing there by the great Italian fireplace, his naturally pale face u little flushed by his recital of business sue- DREAMLAND ADVENTURES T1Y DADDY THE PADRE'S PIGEON (Peggy anil ItiUt, (Mined info tiny, wispy pcrjons, sail through tho air to the Southland in a snow sleigh.

He was eo handsome so at his case so thoroughly a man of tho great world and so mnrvclously successful! And with it all, bo was still only twenty nine I The npartment was to be ready for occupancy in October. Tho weeks that followed were, largely filled for Jennie with visits to the city to supervise, with Kenneth nnd bis mother, the decorn tion nnd to purchase furnishings, it wus u thrilling experience, this mak ing such n wonderful home so thrill ing, so consuming, that she was hardly aware these Into summer (lays of 1014 that war had just then lighted its giant conflagration over nil Europe. When Kenneth hnd pressed an early marriage, Jennie hnd inado only one definite request. This wns that the mar riage should be 'as quiet ns u marriage could be. Sho gave her reasons of course uot her real ones. She had had t pictures taken since she had left the l'ekln ; and she knew thnt at a show wedding there would be reporters and also unfollnblc men snapping 'their cam eras. Mho felt safe after so many jcars ; but nil the same she did not want her face appearing in millions of New York papers not just et. Tnere wns no trouble over this re quest for n quiet wedding. Kenneth consented nnd Mrs. Harrison thought the idea most sensible, nnd it Increased her esteem for Jennie. Jennie, planning with utmost caution these final details of her transformation, made another suggestion to Kenneth, It seemed to him u mere whim, but at the same time he. snw no reason why he should not gratify it; so oue September day the two of them motored Into the interior of New York to a county sent where records arc not too closely watched oer by teporters and their data tele graphed to the great city. Jennie had thought over one last Item very carefully, nnd as they stood before the license clerk she remarked : "Oh. there's oue thing, Kenneth, I'd almost forgotten. Miller was my unclo's numo und I was always called that, but he never really adopted me. My futher's numc was Mnlone eo I suppose my legal name is Jcuulc Ma lone." "Lucky ou remembered to men tion it," wild Kenneth and after the next few minutes It had passed out of his mind us a matter of no conse quence. And so on the records she wns mar ried as "Jennie Malouc." The an lioiincomuitN, however, which had been prepared by Mis, Harrison gave her name ns "Jennie Miller" nnd the not da) the marriage of Jennie Miller and Kenneth Harrison filled considerable spacu in the New York papers, though unfortunately there were no pictures of the jouug bride. The Supreme Plan TTIARIjY in November Jcuuie und J-J Kenneth were settled in their apart ment on Park nvonue nnd hnd begun to take pari in the preliminary ac tivities of the social season. Hut al ready tho wonder of the anartment. which had so overwhelmed Jennie when she first hnd seen It in August, and ot nil the nnnrtnicnt svmbollzed. hud ul- most abated. With Jennie It wns as it ever is with those who are nnibitlous, who ure eneigetlc, who quickly adapt themselves; the daring aspiration, once it is achieved, swiftly settles Into nn accepted nnd almost commonplncc fnct of life, nnd becomes in Its turn meielv the tnklng-off point for another flight into yet higher lenlms. I(y the day kIic Began living in it .lenuie wns accus tomed utmost, thnt is to her won- diously lofty home, nnd within the privacy of her smooth, girlish forehead she nlreudy had plans looking far into tin future. Even during tho bewildering davs fol lowing her unexpected engagement, she liuil dimly perceived a ccitalu distant contingency, and she hud reached a cer tain conclusion ; and nftcr her marriage ull tier thinking along this line hnd made that conclusion seem more wise anil necessary, tier conclusion was that us n wife she had to be the most successful wife possinle; to be less might be failure. She knew that Kenneth was infatuated with her just then; but she mm cnougn o a mature woman s wis dom in her cuse it was as much precocity as it was the remembrance of tno roughly direct human nature of her enily youth to know thnt nfter p venr. or even less, the thrill and glamour of the Initial infatuation may begin to subsido nnd the mun Inevitably may begin to reckon the material consequence ot wnot no lias done. She realized that Kenneth, In marrjing her instead of morin, or Gloria h equivalent, had sacrificed both wealth and assured soclul position which such a wife would nave brought as dowry. (CONTINUED TOMORROW) "Why? Why?" shrieked nil the birds. "Tell us why?" "I'm getting all mixed up,1 Peggv. "Tell ns all about it .' said "Come," said General Swallow and away ho fletf with Peggy on his back. "Come," said King Bird, and he mounted Into the nlr with 111 v. Awnv they flow with th$ other birds following until they came to r tall tree overlooking u neat garden and orchard in the midst of which stood n little cottazo. "Heboid the padre's garden where we linvo been welcome guests ever since we nrrived south!" shr.llea General Swal- ow, nlightiug in tho tree. "Heboid the cottage in which dwells the good old pudre who spends his days feedinir tho birds and doing kind deeds among the poor of the nearby village. Hehold the dovecote near the cottage where tho pigeons dwelt in gentlo content until that topsy-turvy day a week ago whec they suddenly turned from helpful, pleasant neighbors into fierce, fighting foes." "Why have they driven us from the orchard?" broke in Klne IHrd ind in. nnntly. "Why have they become food robbers and misers,' What have thev done to our friend, the good padre? We haven't seen him since the day their natures eimugeu. "They have dope away with our friend, the padre. War! War 1" clam ored the birds. "Come, we will attack!" ohrilled Geuevnl Swallow. "War! War I" "Now don't lose your tempers," sntd Peggv, "There must be somo reason for tho strange madness of the on en gentlo pigeons and somo reason why the good padro has vanished. We should learn those reasons before going to war." "Yes," agreed Hilly, "and now Is a irood time to do it," and be pointed down toward the garden. A long line of pigeons was streaming out toward the village. They were flying slowly aud seemed heavily burdened. Another string of pigeons was going on gunrd around the gardeu wall. "War!" shrilled General Swallow. "We wilt attack nt once." "No, wo will solve the nijstery," said Peggy. "We will go Into the gar den. General Swallow, but only you and I, King Hlrd and Hilly."
