"It's a lie, Mr. Harrison," whisper
I ed Jennie. "That part is a lie!"
"Vou'rc n damned dos, Kenneth I"
his father blurted out. "I don't believe
a word of it!"
"Yes, it's a lie, Mr Harrison," .Tcu-
1 nio went on vapidly, brokenly. "I did
forgo your name that much is true.

trouble that he was about to bo found

Courtesy towards the public 11 mote
common among city employs since the
new administration entered office, the
Bureau of Municipal ltcwarcli declared
today. This attitude should be en
couraged by officials, the bureau added,
' through a course of instruction.
"Such a course of instruction might
bo used to good advantage 111 some
parts of City Hall. If nnj one doubts
this, let him viiit the seveinl touit-

pered Jennie.
"I shall and I can nut it nil
through!" was tho dominant lcply.
"YouTve got just two hours!"
Tor a moment Jennie's eyes rested
upon tho two men upon tho granite
face- of Mr. Ilnrrison, who had scon a
way out, and upon the grcenish-whito
face of Kenneth, who was again nerv
ously licking his thin lips a face that
now, stripped of its fascination, seemed
only selfish and weak and treacherous.
She might have struck back at them
with contemptuous words hut words
of any kind she knew would neither
change them nor help her. She knew
that exactly what Mr. Harrison said,
that he could and would do; she was
trapped completclj and trapped all the
more hopclesslj because she had helped
trap herself. Tor the moment all tho
sphit of fight which had been so. es
sential an element of the Jennie who
used to be. was gone out of her.
In silence she passed the two men and
entered her suite and thence passed in
to her drcsiiig-room. AVith weak hands
she lcmovecl her few jewels, then she
unfastened her gown of thinnest chifton
in which smoldered fires which would

Sho had been standing- for hnrdly n
minute at tho head of the broad flight
of stone steps that lead down to the
fountain and tho hike when 11 closed
car halted nt the curb and the door
swung open.
Inside shc saw Uncle Geoigc, in
Fober garb, and she quickly stopped" in
nnd closed tho door. "Arouud the
park, Jack," Uncle George said to the
chauffeur; and then to Jennie: "What's
tho trouble, Jennie? Speak light out;
no danger if the chauffeur does hear
a word or two. He's safe; name "one
who drove us away from tho l'ekin
all those 3 ears ago. Itcmcniber?"
Jennie glanced forwnid. Yes, the
driver was the same man who hnd been
at tho wheel on that, far-gone night
when shc had fled thq world of her
childhood.
Krirfly she told Uncle George the
situation. She told him everything
even that Slim had been the person who
had been blackmailing her even told
him of Slim's part in that Morrison
check business of long ago.
Uncle George cutsed her husband and
her father in law with a sulphurous
ferocity; it was rather startling to Jen
nie, for Uncle George was not given to
swearing. "And to think," he.rngcd,
"that this has happened after you've
climbed so high after jou'd done so
much for your husband aftef you
seemed to havo everything!"
Vith an effort he controlled himself.
"No time to waste talking about that
now, though. We've got to talk about
what you're going to do. Thej certainly
hnvo got you for fair, Jennie! Noth
ing you or your father can sny will
count for n nickel; it won't be be
lieved. Thev can put jou away on that
charge no doubt of it. Well, it would
be crazy to try to make a gct-awav
now, for there'll be n general alarm out
for you, all over town, all over the
country, before vou could even get
fnirly started. 'I ho thing to do is to
hide until the thing blows over a bit,
nnd they've given you up and then
try to get out of tho country,
say across into Canada."
They discussed ways and means
with the result that Jcnnio found her
self following almost the samo grooves
in escaping her great world that she
had followed in entering it. Uucle
George, who instinctively prepared for
emergencies, had brought a traveling
bng in the ear. Half an hour later Jen
nie, her veil down, and looking just a
limp, inconspicuous child, wns stand
ing onco again at the desk of that most
irreproachable hostelry for manless
women, the Martha Washington, and
Uncle George, again in his kindly voice
which denoted the deacon, was say
ing: "My niece isn't feeling at all well,
nnd a doctor I took her to when we
reached town ordered her to stay in bed
for several days. I'vo got to bo going
on to Boston so that's why I brought
her here where L know she'll get the
best of attention. I'll send her around
soma more clothes tomorrow. From
what I've heard jou always give the
best of caro to strangers."
They did and would. But despite
that caic, Jennie slept not nt all that
night. She lav gazing into tho dark

A Hippodrome audience may truly
bc called "representative"' of the vliolc
United States so this day-after-day pref
erence for Fatima is highly significant.
For one thing, it shows the hroad
sXep of Fatima's popularity.
But more important it indicates
that men generally aie growing more
sensitive to the taste-effect of too much
or too little Turkish tohacco in their
cigarettes.
Fatima's "just enough Turkish" hlcnd,
in other words, is the one feature which
fiets it definitely apar,t from all other
cigarettes and which accounts for its
leadership at 60 many famous places.
