one after the other, had all bowed down

would be a woman this time, and one of
Ike most brilliant kind. "What a dull

difficult because Mrs. Crothcrs was

Idea of settling everything all In ono

"Xow, Ethel Lanier, for goodness sako
(top fldeeth IT like a nervoua old maid 7
This Isn't tho minister coming to call!"
On the day beforo the expected call
Ethel was Just on the point of going
cut for the afternoon to do some shop
ping and shake off theso silly fears,
when the telephone rang and a few
moments later the maid came In nnd
told her tliero was a visitor downstairs
In an Instant with n rush of excitement
Ethel knew It was Sally at last. Dwlght,

"Did she como up?" she breathlessly
asked,
"No. JIra Lanier, she's waiting below."
"Did she give her name?"
"Yes Mrs. Carr."
"Oh." Ethel gasped and sank down
m a heap. "All right, ask her to com.e
up" she said. In a tone of Indifference.
When the maid had none, she almost
called her back." She" did not want to
tee Fanny Carr. Still why hot? Oh.
let hr come. And In tho two or three
nlnutes that followed, Ethel passed
frpm a mood of depression to ono of easy,
good-natured contempt. She was no
longer afraid of Fanny, for Ethel was
lettlru Joo In hand
'And a soon as I do," she reflected.
and my husband makes a name as nn
jrchltect doing great big things, what
harm can Fanny do me?" As she
thought of the brilliant people who were
to soon to- be her friends, she looked
upon Janny Carr and her like with no
S?r?Jn?,trt(1 lLut onl" compassion. What
tupjd lives they wero leading.
And.0 when Fanny came Into the

now appeared! For hero were bits

women two wero named, He had been
n corespondent once I And his studio
was described In detail, with emphasis
on a blp loungo In ono corner!
Suddenly It was laughable ! And so sne
laughed at Fanny I And Fanny replied:
"You moan ho won't bellove it!"
Ethel wont on laughing. Joe wouldn't
believe It. She wished he would como
and turn this woman out on the street.
Sho felt rellof unspeakable.
"You'vo forgotten," Fanny added,
"that you lied to him about your frlond."
"How daro you say that?"
"Because I have tho facts. On the
second of December Joe brought Dwlght
to dlno with you, and you acted as
though you'd never met. I gathered that
from Joo himself when I saw him im,
next day. Whllo tho truth of It .was
you'd heon seeing Dwlght ever since tho
first of October."
"Yes? That will be easy enough to
explain." .But Ethel felt herself turning
white. Sho sank down and thought,
"Now you'll need all your nerve. Don't
got faint, you'vo got to think clearly."
But she was not given time.
"And nil that had been going on while
you wore mipposed to bo home with the
baby." Mrw. Carr leaned forward briskly.
"Now tho thing for you to do Is exactly
what I tell you. But before I do that,
there's Just one thing I wish you to
understand about me. If you want to
keep Joe, keep him. I don't want him

well off then, so I let her stay and
gavo her a home let her meet my

times when I need his name. But thst

you so long aa you don't Interfere wltn

fore, and he'll never see these papers."
With a sudden fierce Impulse, In spite
of herself, Ethel crumpled them up In
her hands.
"Don't bo a fool." said Fanny. "They're
only copies. Give them back." Ethel
did bo, meehnnlcally. "Now what will
you do? Which way will you have It?
He may be here any minute now."
She waited, but got no reply. Sho
saw tho girl shiver a little,
'What's the use of being so aolemn
and scared?" she Impatiently asked.

.tn.1B..ln?uE,n cleared her mind a little,

What?
Ethel looked down at her hands In
her lap, and noticed how tightly they
we.r f.leDfhd- tSno mllod at them.
Tell him."
"You're sure of that?"
Lthel nodded.
"Very well!" x
.."She s uneasy," thought Ethel, "and

done the right thing."
-. ut ?.? In "'most perfect sllenco they

decision wavered again and ugaln, and
It took all her courage to hold herself
in. She made occasional trite remarks,
and received replies of the same ktnd
vn tnem both tho tenalon was growing.
This means everything to you, too.
fanny dear!" Ethel reflected viciously.
Jf Joe believes me you're done for'"
At each slight stir that Fanny made,
Ethel hoped she had lost her courngs
and was getting ready to go. But Fanny
stayed. And as she sat thero motionless,
what a strong flguro she grew to be,
moment by moment. In Ethel's eyes
strong, in spite of tho llfo she led. of
clothes, rich feeding, drinking, dancing,
old age swiftly coming on. Strong
nevertheless, in an odious way, in the
loathsome point of view of her world to
ward loyo anrt marriage, tt had set her
to prying nnd landed, her here with
theseipaperB in her hands! That was
her way of looking at life, and a mighty
strong way it appeared !
