As Reeves asked his question Mary Bain* recoiled as tf he had struck her. She did not reply, and he repeated his query in a different form. "And how do you know I am not engaged?" he insisted. "Because —because," she faltered, "I never thought that you would— that you would —ever care" She stopped, arrested by the look on his face. "Well —you see how mistaken you were," he returned. "You mean—you mean." she stam mered, "that it's really true?" "Of course it is!" he asserted "And why not? Just because a man's forty live and been lonely for years don't mean that he's never to have things the way he wants them, does it? I am going to marry Miss Hardy," he added, majestically. The woman drew a step nearer, her eyes flashing. "And me," she remind ed him. "What about me?" "Oh. you can go on living here," he said easily, as he walked into the din ing room. But she followed him, closing the door behind her so that any one com ing to the kitchen porch would not overhear what she had to say. "Wait a minute," she commanded. "Do you mean that I'm to stay here as housekeeper—just like 1 have al ways?" The man flushed. "Well, yes," he said awkwardly, "you can stay on and make yourself useful. You've always had an easy time here. Mary. On some farms the size of this there'd be the men to feed. But any men that work here go home nights and bring their dinner palls with them mornings. So there's been only me to work for. At housecleaning time I always let you hire extra help. Then there's always a woman every week to do the wash ing and ironing. I've treated you well, Mary." "And when there'll b.;'another per son to work for," she demanded, "what about that?" Mary Baird Deiines Her Intentions "So you're afraid of the work of one other person, are you?" he sneered. "It's not the work I'm afraid of, Gustus Reeves, and you know it!" she declared. "But you're not going to put a mistress over me to boss me— do you hear? I'm not going to have a cnit of a girl rule me after all these >ears! And I'll tell her so, too! Un derstand ?" Augustus Reeves came close to her his face crimson with rage, his lower jaw thrust forward. He drew down his brows until they projected above his small gray eyes. His red hair seemed to bristle. "You'll do as I tell you!" he ex claimed. "Remember that! You'll stay right here, just where you are nnd you'll work like you've always done—or Pll know the reason why." She clenched her fists. And if T won't—what then?" she asked, de fiantly. lie showed his teeth in an ugly snarl. "Then," he threatened, "you'll starve —that's all! If I tell folks what you are, who'll take you In—you and your idiot brat?" "God!" the exclamation was so shrill that even the angry man was startled. "You wouldn't do that!" she burst forth.

"Who'd be lieve any tale of yours when I'd said my say and told them that I was sorry for you in your trouble and had taken care of you both for years?" Who'd believe you, I say?" "Gustus! Gustus!" she pleaded, seizing him by the arm. "Don't talk so! Don't! You always promised that some day perhaps you'd marry me, and I've always hoped you would — even when you refused again and again I hoped you would. Haven't I been everything to you all these years? Haven't I stayed right here and work ed for you? Haven't I been faithful in my work?" He Flings Her Past in Her l ace "And what about what I've done?' he argued. His manner changed sud denly. Angry as he was, he would rather settle this matter calmly, here and now, once for all. "Listen, Mary." lie went on. "Haven't I given you a good home? Didn't I send you to a safe place when your baby was born'.' Didn't 1 pay for all your needs there, and haven't I paid for keeping your child in a good home for feeble-mind ed children, when he might have been sent to some public institution? lias there been a single month that I haven't given you the money to send for his keep there? "Remember all these things, and remember that your life has not been the kind that most folks would over look. Most people would despise you If they knew the truth. I've seen to it that they didn't know. Not a soul \n Milton suspects a thing against you." "You'd have been ruined if they had," she retorted. "No, no," he denied, "for yon weren't any innocent young girl when you came here, but a widow who knew life. And folks will forgive a rich man anything. It's the woman that gets the cold shoulder. If a man has money he can make people believe anything he says. Now let's be sensi ble. You hold your tongue and I'll hold mine. You behave yourself to my wife when she comes here to live and show her how I like my house run. I've told Miss Hardy you'll teach her a lot." He was his sleek, confident self again. The woman, watching him nar rowly. made one more appeal to him. "Gustus," she begged, "it'll almost kill me to see anybody else here! Don't make me stay. I love you. Gustus. Let me go away quietly, and just send me enough money for the boy till I can get work to do." Her tone was wheedling, her man ner servile. I "Send you hush money, you mean?" I Reeves suggested rougly. "No. T [won't! Here you stay, and if you don't do as I say—well, the worse for you! You've got so used to being taken care of that you don't stop to think how you'd be without a cent, and you with no trade and no reputation, and not even any good looks left. Now go and get dinner—and hurry." She went as a whipped dog would have gone. Yet when she had shut the door between her and the man who had temporarily cowed her, there came into her eyes an evil gleam that would have reminded a keen observer that in her veins ran Indian blood — the blood of the race that never for gets and never forgi.es an injury.

GASOLINE WILL HIT HIGH SPOTS Price of Tires Will Be In creased 20 Per Cent, by First of the Year There comes from York a wail of protest at the increase in the cost of gasoline and the threatened famine that is facing consumers down there. All indications point to the probability that Harrisburg will shortly be in the same predicament. Gas is selling to day at 20 cents a gallon, although some dealers go as low as 19 cents. At this time of year, when the de mand is so materially lighter than during a pleasanter weather, there must be some very good reason why the price should go up, and the blame is placed upon the increased con sumption of gasoline by the nations of Europe engaged in the war, and the falling off in the output of crude oil. Oil companies claim there is an unusual shortage of crude oil from which to refine the gasoline, and it is reported by several iocal dealers that refined oil went up a cent a gallon this morning. Gasoline in Xew Yorlt cannot be bought under 25 cents a gallon, and a prominent automobile dealer in this city to-day prophesied that the price would soar to at least 25 cents before it got through. It is also reported that the price of tires will be in creased 20 per cent, by the first of the year, inasmuch as there is a scarcity of crude rubber and the preparation required to convert the raw into the finished product is said to have Jumped 20 per cent. In price. This statement was made on good author ity by a number of expert Philadel phia tire concerns. The stupendous increase in the number of machines being used by the warring nations and the conse quently vast increase in foreign con sumption of gas is undoubtedly the big reason for the approaching in crease. Many local dealers this morning had received no word as to the possible rise, but all were em phatic in their assurance that there was not a chance in the world that the price would drop one little bit.
