Helen hummed a little tune as she
busied herself about the house watt
ing ior Warren to come home. For
onoe she had stayed in the house all
day and rested, and she was anxious
to tell Warren that she felt quite like
her old self. At the customary click
of the latch Helen flew to meet him.
It was Christmas week and she, for
one, had determined to avoid any
thing that might lead to a quarrel.
"Is it cold out, dear? I have been
in the house all day: haven't even
been out for a walk, aren't you
pleased?"
"You really ought to fret out for
some air," commented Warren, strug
gling out of liis coat.
"I know it. but I thought you might
take me for a walk to-night after
• dinner."
"Can't do it to-night. Helen—have
to go out myself."
"Oh, do you— where?"
"Well, it's a long story. Tn a round
about way I have heard that my name
has been proposed at a lodge—the
same one Mr. Stevens belongs to, you
know—and I am going down to talk
things over."
s . *B«it Warren, you aren't thinking
of belonging to a lodge, are you?"
Ever since they have been married
Helen had been afraid of some sub
ject like this coming up. Some wom
en did not mind if their husbands
liked to be away with the men one
evening in the week, but she hated
the idea. Surely she ought to be able
to make Warren happy at home.
"Sure. I am thinking about it—
what's your objection?"
."We go out so much as it is now,
Warren," began Helen lamely. She
knew that there was no adequate rea
son she could bring up. but she wished
vaguely that Warren would decide
against it.
"I know we go out enough now. but
we always go together, don't we? A
man likes sometimes to be with other
men."
Warren Is Ini|>atient
at Helen's Argument.
"But, dear. 1 thought you liked to
go around with me. I thought all
husbands liked to be around with
their wives."
"Of course. I like to be with you."
said Warren impatiently. "Is that any
argument to bring up?"
Helen was silent. She hardly knew
what to say, but she was hurt at the
idea of Warren wishing to go any
where without her.
"Is it?" he continued. "Vou make
me tired, always bringing up an ar
gument without anything to support
it."
"I didn't bring up an argument.
Warren, but I must say I don't think
it's necessary to join a lodge right
now. You have spoken about it be
fore and as long as you have kept
of * of it this long, why join one now?"
Jpfor the very reason that I have
t out of it as long as I have.
That's just it, you women think your
husbands ought not to have anything
in their lives that does not include
petticoats."
"But, you know you said just the
other evening that we had practi
cally all our evenings taken now. We
never have any time to stay home and
just talk."
"Precious good thing if we get into
an .irgument as soon as we begin."
Helen was silent again, but Warren
with his temper up kept on talking.
"You needn't think would act
this way about Bob: In fact. Bob
belongs to a bowling club that takes
him out one evening a week anyway,
and it is the only right way for a
man to get away from his home oc
casionally."
Warren had hit upon a tender spot
with Helen. She realized that War
sen in a way was right, but at the
same time she knew that she could
never become reconciled to the fact
that he had suddenly decided to join
a lodge. It seemed as though he
wanted an excuse to be away from
her.
All through dinner they were silent
Helen hoping against hope that War
ren would change his mind; Warren
silent and grumpy, his mind occupied
entirely with the food he was eating.
Helen knew that she had taken just
the wrong tactics to make Warren
stay at home, and yet there was no
way of getting out of it without giv
ing in and saying it was all right for
him to join a lodge.
"Have any of the new magazines
come yet?" he vouchsafed, as they
went into the living room.
"Yes, there are two in my room;
I'll get them."
"I'll get them: I'm going In to
dress."
Warren stalked out of the room,
and Hrlen turned toward the window,
her eyes filling wit.i angry tears. He
was going then, all. Well, then,
there was nothing for her to do but
to make the be.st o.' it. She das.ntil
the i»ar< away nnd followed him into
the bedroom.
"Is here anything I can do for you?
Warren turned to her. surprise all
over his face.
"Never mind," he said hastily. "I'll
do all right."
"All right." said Helen, calmly walk
ing toward the closet and getting out
her long coat, "then I'll take my walk.
1 really ought to have some air."
"Are you going alone?"
"Why, yes; I don't need any one. |
I asked you because it might be more ;
pleasant, that's all."
She slipped into her coat, and a i
second later the door closed behind !
her. Once out in the air her spirits j
rose as she walked briskly along. (
Warren must be dumbfound at her,
actions. Anyway, she would show |
him that If he insisted upon joining i
a lodge she would show her indiffer-1
ence. After all. It might be rather j
pleasant to have an evening all to

MONDAY EVENING,
| one's self. The short walk did her
good, and by the time she returned
Warren had gone.
"How long ago did Mr. Curtis leave,
Nora?" she asked as she passed the
dining room door.
"A few minutes ago. ma'am." said
| Nora as she stopped to put some glass
'into the china closet. "He seemed
j worried about you. ma'am, wanted to
i know if I thought you'd be In soon.
He waited as long as he could."
Helen could not help smiling. He
; had waited a* long as he could, but he
jhad gone out just the same. Then
she s-at down in the living room and
I began to reason with herself. She
j must keep on with her treatment of
Warren if she wanted to get any re
sults. He was right, too, about get
ting out alone one evening. A man
never loves a woman more than when
she makes the least demand upon
him. That is. after marriage anyway,
j And if Bob loved Louise the way he
'did and still had bowling club one
I night a week anyway, surely she
| could afford to spare Warren. It was
| tile principle of the thing that wor
; ried her. Suppose he wanted to get
| out for a reason. But then if he did
)he would contrive a way Just the
| same.
\ After a while she went in to see it
, Winifred was asleep. Winifred went
i to bed before Warren returned in the
j evening. Helen had always insisted
; upon this and Warren knew that she
j was right and so did not interfere.
Winifred was sound asleep and Helen
drew the silk comfortable up close
about the small flushed fact and tip
'toed out again. Tired of reading she
I finally decided to go to bed, there was
! nothing to stay up for anyway.
I Pussy Purr Mew had curled up in
the chair beside her. and Helen picked
the big cat up in her arms and took
him out to the kitchen. He purred
drowsily as she laid him down gently
lon his little rug and went back into
! her own room. Nora had gone out
land Helen felt strangely lonely. Per
haps if she had been a little nicer
about the affair Warren would have
'decided to stay home. She fell asleep
I thinking about it.
| It seemed hours later when she
j opened her eyes slowly. The light
was burning in the hall and Warren
.was getting out of his clothes quietly.
! Sleepy as she was, Helen could not I
help thinking how thoughtful it was |
of Warren to undress without a light.;
| She stilied an impulse to ask him if i
he had had a good time, and lay:
| quietly looking at him with half-|
j closed lids. After a time he finished |
i and came over to the bed. She felt J
J that he was looking down at her. but:
she did not move. Warren was not j
I given to sentiment, but he bent down!
1 and kissed her cheek softly, and then |
got softly into bed. Helen stirred as j
I though she had just waked up.
I "Did you have a good time, dear?"
i she said sweetly.
"Pine." he answered, as though j
ashamed of the feeling he had just
shown. I suppose you had a good |
I walk, too, after the fit of temper you I
displayed. That's once, anyway, that!
jyou had your everlasting nagging for

Whether the busy woman is nurse, j
housewife or artist, or engaged in other
pursuit, she will be glad of this attractive j
apron. It covers the gown and its lines
are pretty and becoming. The attached
pocket is a real convenience. There it j
only one button needed for closing the j
belt and the straps are finished with
button-holes that are buttoned onto this
same button; consequently the apron is ;
a very easy one to wash and iron. Here '
it is made of butcher's linen and that
material is a sturdy as well as handsome
one, but_ gingham, percale,—anything
that. is simple and washable is ?ppro- I
priate. Checked gingham with bands of j
plain finishing the edges makes a pretty
effect, and some women use plain ma- 1
terial and scallop the edges of the bib
portion with its extensions. The skirt ■
of the apron is in three pieces and the
bib with extensions in one and the two ,
are joined by means of the belt.
For the medium size will be needed j
yds. of material 27, 3J-i yds. 36 in.

"Humph!" Mid Kane. "That sounds
funny to me."
Ruth nodded, looking at the note.
Then she said, more cheerfully: "I'll
dress anyway.. Maybe he needs me.
Now, you old dear, leave me awhile."
Kane departed, and Ruth quickly
changed into street dress. While she
was doing this the bellboy returned to
say that a machine was waiting for
her.
"The one that brought the note." he
said. "He says he was told to wait.'"
"Oh!" she exclaimed. "Tell him I'll
be right down."
When the boy had gone she called
Tom Kane on the telephone and told
him that she was going. "John sent a
car for me." she added.
"All right." came back the answer.
"I'll just travel along. Maybe 1 might
help John myself."
So it was agreed, and they met In
the lobby, where Ruth showed the note
to the clerk in her impulsive way. |
Something In that official's expression
made the old cook unobtrusively take
out his revolver and see that It was In
good condition. He followed Ruth to
the street and Into the waiting ma
chine.
This move disconcerted Drake. He '
had not intended to have two pas
sengers, but he saw no help for It and '
merely nodded when Ruth ordered him
to take her to the city prison. He j
started his engine and they sped off j
up the hill.
They rode for some time and as nei
ther of them was acquainted with the
city it did not occur to them that they
were beinz rapidly conveyed into a
part of town only partly built up and
now veiled in dense clouds of swirling
fog.
"It's a long Uuih remarked
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
! several times, but Knne merely grant-.
! ed. He was busily pondering over
some method of extricating John Dorr.
Suddenly the ear swerved around a 1
corner, dived down a steep hill and
came to a stop before a big gray build- I
ing—the boarded up residence of an
absentee. Reaching back. Drake open j
i ed the door, and Ruth sprang out
A figure darted across the sidewalk,
and she felt herself clutched by the
arm.
She looked into the gleaming, cruel:
eyes of Wilkerson.
"I've got you now!" he said trium
j phantly.
"Oh!" moaned Ruth, shrinking back
I la terror.
J "Yes, Indeed." Wilkerson taunted
: her.
But at that moment he heard another
j voice, stern, commanding and familiar.
He looked around into the muzzle of
Tom Kane's revolver.
For the moment they faced each
other, while Ruth shrank back still far
ther. The old man's eyes gleamed,
and his trigger finger seemed to rest
on the trigger with a precise and deli- j
cate touch.
"You here!" said Wilkerson with an j
oath.
Suddenly the old man's temper flared j
up. The other saw death in his eyes, j
turned ou his heel and ran as fast as 1
he could up the street.
Without a second's hesitation Kane :
I swung his weapon round till It cover- I
ed Drake, cowering at bis wheel.
"Now you drive us back to the ho
tel." he thundered. "And if you make I
a false move I'll drill ye as sure as i
God gave me good shooting eyes." i
Drake saw that he was helpless and
sulkily waited till they were In and
then turned his car back toward the
center of the city. Tom Kane sat
grimly just behind him with his gun
i ready. And his mind was piecing j
things together. Suddenly he saw a!
policeman on his beat and realized that
luck was playing his cards for him.
i He ordered Drake to halt and hailed
the officer. To that somewhat astonlsh
| ed Individual the cook explained brief-;
i ly that he had Just foiled an abduction!
plot and that the chauffeur was In It!
Though Drake strenuously denied the
i charge the policeman decided that It
j was a case for the captain.
| "I'll Just ride in front here, and we'll
Igo to headqunrters." he remarked,
"l'ou can oat up that run, old fellow.
. for I'll see that young fellow doesn't
cut up any monkey shines."
In the meantime Everett had suc
j cessfully managed Dorr's business, and
j he had been released on nominal bail
! for a hearing. "And I you won't
i find us very anxious to make It hard
I for you." said the prosecuting attor
ney.
Free again. John insisted on taking
i the quickest route back t<> the hotel
! Everett, sympathetic In this, agreed,
and In a few minutes they were at the
i hotel Inquiring for Ruth.
J "Why. she left only a little while
ago to see you in the prison." said the
clerk. "She had a note from you."
"I wrote no note." said John.
"Here It Is." was the response. "She
left 1t on the desk in her hurry."
Eagerly John snatched the sheet of
paper, but the Instant his eyes lit on It
he turned a furious face to Everett.
"It's a forgery, a trick." he said. 'T
never wrote it!"
CHAPTER XVI.
Too Late!
"™ OGETHER John and Everett
went outside, and from the
ffirjglja starter they learned that a
' OSE2I car had driven up. tha{ the
! chauffeur bad delivered a note iindthaO
' later Ruth Gallon had come down and
• been driven off. "There was an old
| gentleman with her. Mr. Kane, I be-
I lleve." the starter added.
! John heaved a sigh of relief. "At
! any rate. Tom will see that she doesn't
| come to harm." he said
j After a few more questions, which
showed them the futility of frying to
find Ruth, they re-entered the t*otel
and settled down to a discussion of
business. Tbev were Interrupted by
I Ihe return of Ruth and the cook, who
\ recounted their adventures.
■ "I'll get Wilkerson," John Dorr said
| qnletly when they bad finished. Mean
while we must get ahead with oar fix
ing up of tbe affairs of the 'Master
Key' mine "
Wllkerson'a last failure had driven
j him furious. /He did not know what
' to do. and he especially dreaded re
; turning to Jean Darnell with tbe news.
He walked the streets for a long time,
lunched in a cheap honse and then
doggedly started downtown. On the
way be bought an evening paper and
read of Drake's arrest. WJth scowling j
brows he perused this miaqtaly until'
JANUARY 18, 1915. '
De was sure thnt his tool had not be
trayed him so far. But he knew that
minutes were precious. He must get
into communication with the young
man and assure his silence. He could
not do this without Mrs. Darnell's
help.
As be expected, she flew into a tow
ering rage, but her keen mind saw
that Drake must be pacified, and she
managed to control herself at last
She read the account carefully and
then looked through the rest of the
paper for some item about John Dorr.
Her eye lit upon an advertisement,
which she read twice before speaking;
then she pointed It out to Wilkerson.
He. too, read it:
FOUND.—Deeds to certain mining prop
erty. On proof of ownership same will
be returned Reward expected. S. J. C.,
201 Hill street.
"They must be the papers,'" he ac
knowledged. 'Tell probably threw
them away for fear of their beijg used
as evidence against him, and some one
picked them up."
"This time I shall see to the matter,"
.lean said sharply. "Whether they are
the papers or not. we must be sure."
"Other people will see that ad.," he
suggested.
"All the more reason for hurry," slie
snapped. Then she called her maid.
"Estelle," she said, "I want you to
dress for the street and go on an er
rand for me. It is very Important,
and you must hurry."
"Tes, madame."
"And if you show good judgment
yon shan't be sorry. You know how
Miss Oallon dresses and acts. 1 want
you to impersonate her for a little
while."
"But madame"—
"There Is no danger at all." Mrs. Dar
nell went on. "All yon have to do is
to go to this address and get those pa
per*."
Ths maid looked at the advertise
ment and Anally consented to go to
the Hill street address and see If they
were really Ruth's deeds and 1f so re
cover them. In a few momenta stie
had departed on her errand, and Wil
kerson and Jean once more resigned
themselves to waiting.
Estelle tripped along the street to a
car Hue and took the first car that
came along, which, the conductor In
formed her, crowed the street ahe
sought
Arriving at her street she got off
and found herself in a neighborhood
inhabited by very poor people. She
looked with disgust at the tumbledown
shanties and dirty shacks that littered
the rubbish heaped yards. Two blockft
up from the car line she found her
number, n house slightly better kept
than most. Rut she noticed in the
yard an uptilted ash man's cart In the
rear was n rickety stable. She entered
the gate anfl rang the bell.
