"Yeu mean that ou won't accept mj offer?" he muttered. "I can't, Kaineses net the money Net the money " She thrust out her handH te him with n generous motion of appeal. "Don't ask it of inc. 1 couldn't take it. I don't knew when I should be nble te pny it back te you." "That needn't matter." "It does matter." " She gave her eyes n flnnl dab and turned te him ngain with a smile. "Hut I'll take the house rent it. I hope we shall bp nble te manage that. We've get te mnnngc It somehow. And the sooner wc move the better." "I'll make nrrnngementn nt once." She. resp und drew her wrap to gether with the samp air of decision with which she compressed her lips in resolution. "There'll be n terrible fuss, but I'm equal te it new. Heb will storm and Muzzy " She paused nnd gave n dry laugh. "Wc may have te take Muzzy away in the ambulance. But she'll hare te go in the end. My mind Is made up. Oh, Barneses 1" she gasped. "If jeu knew the joy of coming te this decision ! Any decision t If you knew hew vague nnd uncertain every thing has been 1 And new though the future Isn't very clear it's some thing te take the first step and knew that it's the right one." "We must plan for the future," he muttered, "but I'm afraid for you. You'll let me help, won't you?" "Of course." She thrust out her ImuilH again nnd lie took them both in his. "You've done such a let already. Yeu see I can't get along without you." Her cyesvere heavy with fatigue and there wan a pathetic droop nt the endx of her lips. At thnt moment she seemed very childlike in her dependence upon him. She, seemed se much te need the solnce of n caress. It would hnve been the most natural thing in the world for him te have taken her in his arms and given, her some of his own strength. But lie only pressed her hands in his. Their eyes met for a long moment, the frankness of hers blending slowly into soberness' under bis gaze and turning at last te the clock upon the mantel which marked the hour of one. "I must go nt once," she muttered. He picked up his hat and coat. "I'll go with you," lie said. "De you think that's wise? You'd better just let me slip out. I'll find n taxi" "Impossible! Im going te take you home." She steed for n moment nt the mirror, niHiiHtlntr her hat. "I knew I've done n foolish thing," nnd then with u careless shrug as she, turned toward him, "but I don't sup pose it matters much, new." "I don't ngrce with ou." he mut tered snvagely as he reached for the knob. And then In n lowered tone, "The elevator runs nil night, out we'll go down the stairs. Wnit n moment " He went out into the silent corridor nnd nt his slgnnl she followed quietly. If she found some excitement in the venture, Snngree did net share it. He merely glared nngrily down the silent hallways as they passed the. landings. On the third fleer n head poked out of an open deer whence enme the sound of male voices, and they both heard n comment made, the sound of nn excla mation, followed by euppressed laugh ter. ' Cherry was sniggering softly, but Sengree caught her elbow and hurried down the stairs. "Damn them!" he muttered. On the ground fleer the elevator man was dozing en his bench, but he straightened bb they passed him and down the front steps into the street Sangree felt the creature's gaze boring Inte his spine. But he gave a gasp as they reached the friendly dnrkness. They wnlked rnp- idly ana leunn n un en me uvi-uuu.

At the house en Seventy-eighth street he saw her te the deer, nnd nftcr ex acting a premise thnt Bhe would visit the house uptown with him In n few days, he dismissed the taxi and walked down town alone.

Inspired Washington dispatches tell us that the present Prohibition enforcement methods arc "debauching and debasing the entire country"; that the President is "deeply concerned ever a belief that the moral fiber of the American people is deteriorating through the open disrespect shown for the effort te enforce Prohibition"; and that "the growth of bootlegging, the temerity of rum runners, and the serious insinuations against Federal enforcement officers have been worrying the Administration for some months," until finally "With Prohibition enforcement recog nized as en the verge of absolute collapse in four States and in a condition of serious demorali zation elsewhere in the country, President Harding considered te-day the issuance of a solemn public appeal te all geed citizens te discourage bootlegging as a last resort te administer the law." "One way te make Prohibition prohibit," declares the New Yerk Evening Pest, "would be te arrest some of the prominent and respectable people who buy what the bootleggers sell." The leading article in The Literary Digest this week takes up the subject of the enforce ment of the Prohibition laws and'presents the opinions of leading newspapers as te wavs and means.
