Altx rails on Alan, hut ho refuses to tell her Oorry's story. Alan soes home to Red Hill. Alan's eyes gleamed with amuse ment at the rippling words. Alix was certainly well. Then suddenly she col lapsed in a chair. "Three years!" she gasped. Her hands went up to hold her head and she began to cry in a way Alan had never heard a woman cry before. The gasping sobs racked his nerves. He felt as though the sobs were tearing their way up from his own breast. He gripped the arms of the chair in which he sat. His body telephoned to his brain that he was j goiug to faint and at such astounding news Ten Percent Wayne woke up and took charge. "Alix!" the word snapped out like the crack of a whip. "You stop crying or I'll slap you, and when I slap I slap hard." Alls choked, swallowed and looked at him, outraged and unbelieving. Alan's eyes were blazing. "You listen to me," he commanded, "listen to every word I say. You've gone through a lot in three years, but Just fasten your mind on to this: so has Gerry. That note is colorless because Gerry made | it colorless. It doesn't tell anything, I because Gerry isn't a coward and be- j cause there are things he must tell [ you face to face to get your answer J clear In his own mind.

Write today, .1 TUESDAY EVENING, one tiling; u uerry iiad wanted me to tell you his story he'd have asked me to, but he didn't. He didn't even ask me not to. He was standing In deep waters, but he had his head and shoulders out. He wasn't asking for my or anybody else's hand to help him up the bank. He didn't ask me not to meddle because he knew I was man enough to see where he stood ■without words. He trusted me." Al an's voice trailed off weakly. He closed his eyes. "But, Alan," said Alix, "I must know something. Is he well? Is he—" Alan held np his hand. "Just one thing and then I'm going to sleep. I never thought the old Rock would ever loom so big." Alix watched him doze off. She felt strangely comforted by the crumb he had tossed her. She went back In her mind to a dinner of long ago, when she had defended Gerry's plncld weight against Alan. She sat on for half an hour, busy with varying thoughts. She looked curiously around Alan's sitting room. How strange that she should be here and yet how natural. How safe she felt. She won dered if It was all because of the de fenses she had raised up In herself or whether any woman would feel safe with the new and weakened Alan. She slipped out without waking him and sent a cable to Pernambuco. Ky night she had an answer. Gerry had not yet sailed! IJays passed. She went out only for exercise. Her mind was busy with wondering. The judge called regu larly He had put off going to Red HID. He wanted Alix to feel that a friend was at hand and, besides, he had Alan on his hands. Alan was worrying him in a new way. Some thing had gone out of him. Sometimes he seemed to the judge a mere shell— a blown egg. robbed of (he seed of life. The judge talked of him often to Alix, but she could not fasten her mind on Alan. "Take him to the Hill," was her listless advice. "I've tried," said the judge, "and h» says he's not ready—not strong enough. I told him that's what he ought to go for—to get strong—and he said a fun ny thing. 'There's a kind of strength we must generate or borrow. I didn't borrow, so now I'm generating. It takes time.' And then he dropped off to sleep. Before, he used to run you through with his tongue when he wnnted to stop conversation. Now he Just goes to sleep. It's just as effec tive and almost as original." One afternoon the judge came In with a smile on his face. "Alan Is bet ter,' he announced. "Isn't he better everv day?" asked Alix. "Not like this," snld the judge. "You know Fleureur? Of course you don't. You wouldn't. Can't imagine how he ever got into the club, but he did. Well, It's a long time since Mr. Fleureur has been asked to cut In at bridge at the club or anywhere else. Yesterday he came in and saw Alan for the first time since his return. 'Hallo, Wayne,' he said, 'back again and doing the heavy swell as ever, only not quite so heavy inside the clothes now, eh?' Alan is getting touchy over being a weak ling. That's a good sign, too, by the way. He looked sideways out of his sleepy eyes at Fleureur and you bet everybody listened." The judge paused at thus forgetting himself; then he went on: "Alan said, 'Do clothes matter such a lot? Somehow it seems to me it doesn't make any difference how much a man waxes his mustache as long as he doesn't wax his linger nails.'" Alix* face lit up. "Oh, that Is Alan." The judge's eyes twinkled. "Yes," he said, "and then Alan went off to sleep like a shot and Kleureur remembered an engagement. The whole club's cheered up. The club didn't know what was the matter with itself, but it knows now. It was missing Alan after he had come back." Alan had written to Mrs. J. Y. that he was planning to motor from town to Red Hill. Clem, ns Mrs. J. Y.'s deputy, had answered his letter, prom ising him a warm and long welcome at Maple House. She gave him a way bill. "It's the simplest way-bill in the world," she wrote, "out of town and along the sound till you come to the river, then up the valley till the bald top of East mountain signals you from the left. Climb the mountain, and from there the old church will lead you home." "The old church will lend you home," Alan repeated to himself as he let his relaxed body lounge across the ton nenu and trusted to cushions and springs to tnke up the bttmpg. His thoughts raced nhead of hlui to Red Hill. In memory he plodded over dusty roads and through mossy lanes, swam, fished and loafed, wept and laughed. He was going back to the cradle of all his emotions. The wind and the motion of the ear made him sleepy. He dozed. He awoke to see East mountain looming In the distance. Steadily the ear drew into its lee. Alan sighted a climbing road and called directions to the driver. From the hare top of the mountain he made out the old church, a white speck on a far-away hill. He stood up and traced the course they were to fol low. He was filled with a strange ex citement. "Never mind the bumps— open her up." lie ordered, and sat down and closed his eyes.

Miss Eliz Alkali in Soap Bad For the Hair Soap .should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking Its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thins for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless). and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use. One or two tea spoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the liair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive -iL The liair dries quickly and even' and it leaves the scalp soft, and th hair fine and silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mtiisificd cocoanut oil at. any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem ber of the family for months. abeth Roth; superintendent cradle roll, Mrs. J. C. Motter.
