12 OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN A GIRL AND A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER LV Softly, that, she might not awaken Jennie O'Neill, Agnes opened the front door with her latchkey and entered the apartment. Then she stood still and drew a long breath, listening. The silence of the little flat flowed past her in waves, ffoe thought it had never been as still before. That Jen nie was asleep in a small room off the kitchen did not make the placo less desolate. "If only auntie had not been taken 111 all this dreadful thing would never have happened to me!" Agnes mused, standing in the door of the invalid's room, fearing to turn on the light and see its emptiness. She turned away sharply. She must not let herself think just yet. If she did she might break down and sob as she did in the Park only a little while ago—and Jennie might hear her and suspect—what? it had been hard enough to break down in the presence of Randolph Pickens. But he was a gentleman, through and through, and could understand. Moreover, she trusted htm perfectly. Agnes Morley was too much agitated to recall the time when she had been bored by this very man whom she had of late learned to respect. The days of her girlish intolerance seemed very far away to-night. Going into her bedroom she closed the door and lighted the gas. As she surveyed, herself in the mirror she gasped in dismay. Her face was pale and under her eyes were dark circles. Her hair was disheveled. She looked more like a woman of 40 than a girl of 24. She was glad that Philip could not see her now. When would she ever see him again? And what would he hear about her—what change would come over his estimation of her before she and he met once more? She had undressed, donned her nightgown and wrapper and taken down her hair, when, as she lifted her brush from the bureau, she dislodged a letter lying there, unnoticed until now. It had come this evening during Agnes' absence, and had been put there by Jennie. As It fell to tlie floor Agnes stooped and picked it up. It bore a special delivery stamp and was addressed in Philip Hale's handwriting. Sinking into a chair, she opened the envelope eagerly. "I have just taken the liberty of calling up your aunt's physician, dear Agnes," she read.

You have no telephone, and I did not want to intrude upon you until I was sure that my presence would not be an added trouble to you. "Dr. Martin told me brusquely (for really it was not according to etiquette for me to ask about one of his pa tients) that Miss Morley went to the hospital to-day and will be operated on in a day or two. I cannot refrain from sending you this letter, which you will receive this evening, for I want you to know that all my sympa thies are yours. Isn't there, something I can do? And some time will you let me come to you? "I shall await your reply anxiously —and yet I do not want to be selfish and demand that you consider me when you are in so much distress of mind. But oh! my dear, Ido want to help you! "Perhaps, if you are not too- busy and preoccupied to think of me, you will drop me just a line later, telling me how things aro going. "My thoughts will be with you every hour and minute, dear. Please take care of yourself. Always yours, "PHIL." She read the letter through slowly twice—as saddened women do read letters which come froni(men who care for them. Each word was like a drop of com fort to the girl. Phil cared enough to write all this to her, to telephone to Dr. Martin, to think of her all the time, to long to be of service, to be anxious for her health. Oh, she must see him soon? She wanted to see him so much! Crumpling the letter in her hands she kissed it passionately, then, tear ing it into a dozen bits, she tossed these into the waste basket. Turning out ber light and throwing herself face downward upon her bed, she burst into a torrent of sobs. "Oh, Phil, Phil!" she murmured, "it's all over! Things can never be the same again! Oh, I wish I was dead!" For to the young, with the tide of life full in their veins, trouble seems unendurable, and when they cannot escape It they think of death as an open door through which they may crawl away from their misery. Yet, because this girl was young, kindly nature took pity upon her. Soon the sobs became less violent and grad ually ceased, and before an hour had passed Agnes Morley was asleep. (To Be Continued.)

"But others have been busy While we were at the—er—the nter, fond fingers have been searching for Chain Lightning's collar." "The devil! You haven't lost It?" "No—not yet, I believe." Mlnot took the envelope from his pocket and drew out the gleaming necklace. "Ah, lt*s still safe"— Harrowby leaped from the bed and slammed shut the door. "Dear old boy!" he cried. "Keep the accursed thing in your pocket. No one must see It. I say, who's been search ing here? Do you think it could have been O'Malley?" "What is O'Malley's Interest In your necklace?" "Some other time, please. Sorry to Inconvenience you with the thing. Do hang on to it, won't you? Awful mix up If you don't. Bad mlxup as it Is. As I said when I cime In, it's all over." "What's all over?" "Everything. The marriage —my chance for happiness—Mlnot, I'm 0 most unlucky chap. Meyrlck has Just postponed the wedding in a frightfully loud tone of voice." "Postponed it?" Sad news for Jeph son this, yet as he spoke Mr. Mlnot fell "Minot, old chap," he drawled. "It's all over." a thrill of joy In his heart. He smiled the pleasantest smile he had so fai shown San Marco. "Exactly. He was fearfully rattled, was Meyrlck. My word, how he did go on! Considers his daughter humili ated by the antics of that creature we saw on the stage tonight. Can't say I blame him, either. The wedding is In definitely postponed, unless that im postor Is removed from the scene im mediately." "Oh—unless," said Minot Ills hearl sank. His smile vanished. "Unless was the word, I fancy," said Harrowby, blinking wisely. "Lord narrowby," Minot began, "you intimated the other day that this man might really be your brother"— "No," Harrowby broke In. "Impoosi ble. I got a good look at the chap to night. He's 110 more a Harrowby than you are." "You give me your word for that?" "Absolutely. Even after twenty years of America no Harrowby would drag his father's name on to the vaude ville stage. No, he is an lmpostoi and as such he deserves no considera tion whatever. And, by the by, Minot, you will note that the postponement is through no fault of mine." * Mlnot made a wry face. "I have noted It," he said. "In othei words, I go on to the stage now, fol lowing the mau who followed the train ed seals. I thought my role was thai of Cupid, but it begins to look more like Captain Kidd. Ah, well, I'll dc my best." He stood up. "I'm going out into the soft moonlight for a little while, Lord Harrowby. While I'm gone you might call Spencer Meyrlck up and ask him to do nothing definite In the way of potponement until he hears .from me—us —er —you." "Splendid of you, really," said Har rowby enthusiastically as Mlnot held open the door for liim. "I had the feel ing I could fall back on you." "And I have the feeling that you've fallen," smiled Mlnot. "So long. Bet ter wait up for my report" Fifteen minutes later, seated In a small row boat on the starry waters of the harbor, Mlnot was loudly saluting the yacht Llleth. Finally Mr. Martin Wall appeared at the rail. "Well, what d'you want?" he de manded. "A word with you, Mr. Wall," Minoi answered. "Will you be good enough to let down your accommodation lad der?" For a moment Wall hesitated. Ajjd I Minot, watching him, knew why he hesitated. He suspected that the | young man in the tiny boat there on ! the calm, bright waters had come tc repay a call earlier in the evening—u call made while the host was out. At last he decided to let down the ladder. "TinnvMies, nnd my errand is a press ing snld Minot. "Am I right in assuming. Mr. Wall, that you are Tx)rd Harrowhy's friend?" "Just what is your Interest in the matter?" Wall inquired. "The same as yours. I am Harrow- I fcy's friend. Now, Mr. Wall, this is the situation as I see it: Wanted, board i and room in a quiet neighborhood for Mr. George Harrowby. Far from the I street cars, the vaudeville stage, the | wedding march and other disturbing elements. And, what is mor£', I think I've found the quiet neighborhood. I think it's right here aboard the Li leth." j "Oh, Indeed!" I "Yes. A simple affair to arrange, Mr. Wall. Trimmer and his live prop j osltlon are Just about due for their i final appeaarance of the night at the j opera house right now. I will call at I the stage door and lead Mr. Trimmer away after his little introductory speech. I will keep him aw%y until you and a couple of your sailors —I suggest the two I met so Informally In the North river—have met the vau devllle lord at the stage door and gen tly, but firmly, persuaded him to come aboard this boat." CHAPTER VIII. The Kidnapping. M*""™ R. WAIX regarded Minot with a cynical smllo. "A clover scheme," he said. "What would you say was the penalty for kidnaping In this state?" "Oh, why look it up?" asked Minot carelessly. "Surely Martin Wall is not afraid of a backwoods constable." "What do you mean by that, my boy?" said Wall, with an ugly stare. "What do you think I mean?" Mi not smiled back. "I'd be very glad to take the role I've assigned you. I can't help feeling that It will be more entertaining than the one I have. The difficulty In the way Is Trimmer. I believe I am better fitted to engage his attention. I know him better than you do, and he trusts me, begging your pardon, farther." "He did give me a nasty dig," said Wall, flaming at the recollection. "The noisy mountebank! Well, my boy, your young enthusiasm has won me. I'll do what I can." "And you can do a lot Watch mc until you see me lead Trimmer away, then get his pet. I'll steer Trimmer somewhere near the beach and keep j on eye on the Llleth. When you get George safely aboard wave a red light jin the bow. Then Trimmer and I j shall part company for the night." "I'm on," said Wall, rising. "Any thing to help Harrowby. And this I won't be the first time I've waited at j the stage door." "Right-o!" said Minot. "Bnt don't stop to buy a champagne supper for a | trained seal, will you? I don't want j to have to listen to Mr. Trimmer all night." They rowed ashore in company with two husky members of the yacht's crew, and ten minutes later Minot was walking with the pompous Mr. Trimmer through the quiet plaza. He had told that gentleman that he came from Allan Harrowby to talk tems, and Trimmer was puffed with pride accordingly. (To Be Continued.)

"I tried all sorts of medicines In hopes that I would find something that would relieve me but I seemed to be getting worse all the time in stead of better. Really I was on the verge of despair. "Then I heard so much about Tan lac that I determined to try it and see if it would help me but I never expected that it would make such a wonderful improvement in my con dition in such a short time. "It helped me from the very start and now I feel as if I had never known what it was to be miserable. I have a wonderful appetite, I sleep simply fine and I feel active and en ergetic and happy.
