In the barest hint of Indifference.
"As I have said. I am not In Bart
Macauley's employ—nor In Mr. Wat
rous Dunham's. Neither am I the
Judge and jury to put you in the pris
oner's box and try you. I suppose you
knew what you were doing, and \vhy
you did it. But I do think you might
have written me a line, Montague.
That would have been the least you
could have done."
For some time afterward the talk
was not resumed. Miss Richlander
was apparently enjoying her dinner.
Smith was not enjoying his, but he
ate as a troubled man often will;
mechanically and as a matter of
routine. It was not until the dessert
had been served that the young
woman took up the thread of the
conversation precisely as if it had
never been dropped.
"I think you know that you have
no reason to be' afraid of me, Mon
tague; but I can't say as much for
father.He will be back in a few days,
and when he comes it will be prudent
for you to vanish. That is a future,
however."
Smith's laugh was brittle.
"We'll leave it a future, if you like.
'Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.' "
"Oh; so you class men as an evil,
do you?"
"No; you know I didn't mean that;
I merely mean that it's no use cross
ing the bridges before we come to
them. I've been living from day to
day so long now, that I am becoming
hardened to it."
Again there was a pause, and again
it was Miss Richlander who broke it.
The slow smile was dimpling again
at the corners of the perfect mouth.
"You are going to need a little
help, Montague—my help—aren't
you? It occurs to me that you can
well afford to show me some little
friendly attention while I am Robin
son-Crusoed here waiting for father
to come back."
"'"'Let me understand," he broke in,
frowning across the table at her.
"You are willing to ignore what has
happened—to'that extent? You are
not forgetting that in the eyes of the
law I am a criminal?"
She made a faint little gesture of
impatience.
"Why do you persist in dragging

that in? I am not supposed to know
anything about your business affairs
with Watrous Dunham or anybody
else. Besides, no one knows me here,
and no one cares. Besides, again, I
am a stranger in a strange city and
we are—or we used to be —old
friends."
Her half-cynical tone made htm
frown again, thoughtfully, this time.
"Women are- curious creatures," 1
he commented. "I used to think I
knew a little some thing about them,
but I guess it was a mistake. What
do you want me to do?"
"Oh. anything you like; anything
that will keep me from being bored
to death." •
Smith laid his napkin aside and
glanced at his watch.
"There is a play of some kind on
at the opera house, I believe," he
said, rising and going around to
draw her chair aside. "If you'd care
to go, I'll see if I can hold somebody
up for a couple of seats."
"That is more like it. I used to be
afraid that you hadn't a drop of
sporting blood in you, Montague, and
I am glad to learn, even at this late
day, that I was mistaken. Take me
upstairs, and we'll go to the play."
They left the dining room together
and there was more than one pair of
eyes to follow them in frank admira
tion. "What a strikingly handsome
couple," said a bejewelled lady who
sat at the table nearest the door;
and her companion, a gentleman"
with restless eyes and thin lips and
a rather wicked Jaw, said: "Yes; I
don't know the woman, but the man
is Colonel Baldwin's new financier;
the fellow who calls himself 'John
I Smith."
The bediamonded lady smiled dry
ly. "You say that as if you had a
mortal quarrel with his name, Craw
ford. If I were the girl, I shouldn't
find fault with the name. You say
you don't know her?"
Stanton had pushed his chair back
and was rising. "Take your time
with the ice cream, and I'll Join yau
later upstairs. I'm going to find out
who the girl is, since you want to
know."
CHAPTER XIV.
Broken Threads.
Mr. Crawford Stanton a little later
went upstairs to rejoin the resplen
dent lady, who was taking her after
dinner ease in the most comfortable
lounging chair the mezzanine parlors
afforded.
"No good." reported. "The girl's
name is Richlander, and she—or her
father—comes from one of half a
dozen 'Lawrencevilles'—you can take
your choice among 'em."
"Money?" queried the comfortable
one.
"Buying mines in the Topaz," said
the husband mechanically. He was
not thinking specially of Mr. Josiah
Richlander's possible or probable ra
ting with the commercial agencies;
he was wondering how well Miss
Richlander knew John Smith, and in
what manner she could be persuaded
to tell what she might know. While
he was turning it over in his mind
the two in question. Smith and the
young woman, passed through the
lobby on their way to the theater.
Stanton, watching them narrowly
from the vantage-point afforded by
the galleried mezzanine, drew his
own conclusions. By all the little
signs they were not merely chance
acquaintances or even casual friends.
Their relations were closer—and'of
longer standing.
Stanton puzzled over his problem a
long time, long after Mrs. Stanton
had forsaken the easy chair and had
disappeared from the scene. His
Eastern employers were growing
irrasclhly impatient. Who was this
fellow Smith, and what was his back
ing? they were beginning to ask; and
with the asking there were intima
tions that if Mr. Crawford Stanton
were flpdlng his task too difficult,
there was always an alternative.
Stanton was still wrestling with his
problem when the "handsome
couple" returned from the play. The
trust field captain saw them as they
crossed the lobby to the elevator and
again marked the little evidences of
familiarity. "That settles it," he
mused, with an outburst of the pug
nacious jaw. "She knows ttfore about
Smith than anybody else in this neck
of woods—and she's got it to tell!"
Stanton his inquisition for
better information the following day,
with the bejewelled lady for his ally.
Miss Riehlander was alone and un
friended in the hotel—and also a lit
tle bored. Hence she was easy of ap
proach; so easy that by luncheon
time the sham promoter's wife was
able to introduce her husband. Stan
ton lost no moment investigative. For
the inquiring purpose, Smith was
made to figure as a business ac
quaintance, and Stanton was gen
erous in his praises of the young
man's astounding financial ability.
"He's simply a wonder, Miss Rich
lander!" he confided over the lunch
eon table. "Coming here a few weeks
ago, absolutely unknown, he has al
ready become a prominent man of
affairs in Rrewster. And so discreetly
reticent! To this good day nobody
knows where he comes from or any
thing about him."
"No?" said Miss Verda. "How sin
gular!" Rut she did not volunteer to
supply any of the missing biograph
ical facts.
"Absolutely nothing," Stanton went
on smoothly. "And, of course, his
silence about himself has been gross
ly misinterpreted. I have even heard
it said that he is an escaped con
-1 vict."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
"The Insider"
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

Chapter 1/Vttl
Copyright, 1917, Star Company
During the days that followed 11
felt as if I must have imagined the!
events of the evening on which my i
employer had told me he loved me.
For everything seemed just as it j
had been before this startling reve- j
lation. Everything, I say—and yet
perhaps the truth is that things in
the household were pleasanter than
before. I think my employer was
more careful not to irritate his sister
in-law. He realized that if she re
mained happy it would make matters
happier for me.
Mrs. Gore herself was, for a while, I
so gentle that I scarcely recognized j
her. If she suspected the condition j
of affairs between her brother-in- :
law and his daughter's governess she j
betrayed no sign. Brewster Norton's
behavior was so circumspect as to j
give no grounds for suspicion even to ,
his keen-eyed relative.
The beautiful summer days slipped !
by like a sunny dream. Tom was)
studying hard. This fact added toj
the peace of mind of Tom's father/
The first part of ev.ery morning was]
occupied by various kinds of workj
for us all. Tom studied with Parker;
Grace and I read aloud and took j
walks in the woods.
By eleven o'clock we four usually I
were at liberty to do as we pleased, j
and met near the tennis-court. Some- ,
times two of us "grown-ups" played
tennis, while a third looked on and j
made amusing comments.
On Wednesdays and Saturdays Mr. I
Norton was at home, and we had I
more tennis on those days than on j
any others. Late in the afternoon we I
usually had a motor ride. In thel
evenings we sat on the veranda in the \
fragrant dusk and chatted light- j
heartedly.
Does such an existence sound very'
tame It may to those who like fash
ionable summer resorts. Mrs. Gore [
had explained to me soon after our I
arrival at. Hillcrest that her brother!
preferred having no society during
the summer.
Drives and Picnics
"He works hard all winter, and
goes out a great deal," she said. "So ;
when he is here he does not encour
age sociability on the part of his!
neighbors. If he wants company he j
brings friends out from town."
This he did occasionally, and, on j
such days we all had a long drive
and picnic to some picturesque spot,!
or spent many hours on the tennis!
court. It did not seem strange to me |
that among the visitors there were j
no women. I took it for granted that, j
their absence was due to the desire j
of the master of the house for free-'
dom from social restraints. Men
guests do not need to be entertained. | ]
Women guests do.
I have ihentioned that we young :
people played tennis even when Mr.
Norton Was not at home. I have not
said that, frequently when Hugh Par
ker and I were playing Tom would
take Grace off to see the horses or
| the chickens, or would amuse her in
I some way that left me free. I noted
[with joy that Tom was becoming!
i more fond of (he little girl. It would ,
| make it much pleasanter for every-1
j body if he could learn to care for
her.
It did not dawn upon me then
that Tom's actions were due less to
a willingness to make his small
half-sister happy, than to a wish
to give his tutor and myself the op
portunity to become good friends.
Now I know that this was probablv
his object. He liked us both, and
wanted us to like each other.
Whether that was his plan or not. his
actions had the effect of making
Hugh Parker and myself better ac
quainted than we would have been
under ordinary circumstances.
The better T knew Hugh, the bet
ter I liked him. His ideals were
high, his standards fine—yet he was
full of fun and of the zest of life. I
did not wonder that Tom loved him.
And so, llltle by little, the tutor
and I became friends. I did not real-
ize that others might notice our
growing intimacy until, one evening,
when it was proposed that we four—
Hugh, Tom, Mr. Norton and I —go
for a walk.
As we started down the steps in
the twilight, somebody stepped to
my side. Turning, I saw that it was
my employer.
"Oh!" I exclaimed involuntarily.
"Is that you? I thought it was Mr.
Parker."
Not Entirely Truthful
"I beg your pordon!" Brewster
Norton apologized stiffly. "Would
you prefer having Parker walk with
you ?"
"No, indeed —of course not!" I pro
tested.
Even as I spoke I felt that I was
not entirely truthful. Without for
mulating the hope to myself I had all
unconsciously taken it for granted
that Hugh would walk with me. I
found myself disappointed. Some
how the expedition did not seem
quite as alluring as before. I won
dered if Hugh felt the same disap
pointment.
A moment later, as he and Tom
came up, laughing and teasing each
other, I chided myself for my fool
ish fancy. Of course he would not
care! The thought piqued me. That
may have been why I turned to my
employer with more impetuosity
than I usually manifested when ad
dressing him nowadays.
"Let us allow those boys to go
ahead." I suggested. "It's impos
sible to talk when they are making
such a racket."
"Good!" he exclaimed, with such
fervor and happiness that I realized
I had given him the impression of
sincerity. "Of course, we'll let them
go ahead, if you're willing."
Then, as the rapid pace of the
young men took them around a bend
in the path, he lifted my hand to his
lips.
"Thank you, dear," he said, "for
wanting to be alone with me."
That was all, but my conscience
writhed. I talked rapidly of the road,
of the summer night, of anything ex
cept ourselves. And, recognizing my
desire to avoid personalities, my com
panion talked in like strain.
But 1 was not listening to him. In
stead, I was trying to catch the voices
of the merry couple who were walk
ing so much faster than we that they
were almost, out of ear-shot.

neurasthenia
is a condition of nervous exhaustion. Wony, overwork, excesses,
an attack of the grip—many things may cause it. Symptoms:
Oversensitiveness, irritability, headache and a disposition to worry.
The only way to feed undernourished nerves is through the blood.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People
are recommended in such cases because they are a non-alcoholic
tonic and through the blood build up the weakened nerve cells.
They also correct a tendency to anemia, usual in neurasthenia.
