Scribner'A SOBa (Continued) Stanton's smile was a mask of pure malice. "I've made you no definite promise as to that; but you shall have one now. I'll promise to break Baldwin in two and throw him and his ranchmen backers out of the Timanyoni. That's what you get for j playing fast and loose with two peo-' pie at the same time.

The Flesh-Pots of Egypt Convinced by Verda Richlander's | telephone message to the construe- ] tion camp that he stood in no imme- ! diate. Smith spent the heel of the afternoon in the High Line offices, j keeping in wire touch with Stillings, j whom he had sent on a secret mis- 1 sion to Red Butte, and with Williams I at the dam. The High Line enterprise! was on the knees of the gods. If Wil liams could pull through in time, if i the river-swelling storms should hold off, if Stanton should delay his final j raid past the critical hour—and j there was now good reason to hope j that all of these contingencies were' probable—the victory was practically : won. Smith closed his desk at 6 o'clock and went across to the hotel to dress for dinner. The day of suspense was practically at an end and disaster still held aloof; was fairly outdis tanced in the race, as it seemed. Wil liams' final report had been to the effect that the concrete-louring was completed, and the long strain was off. Smith went to his rooms, and. as once before and for a similar rea son, he laid his dress clothes out on the bed. He made sure that he would be required to dine with Verda Rich lander, and he was stripping his coat when he heard a tap at the door and Jibbey came in. "Glad rags, eh?" said the blase one with a glance at the array on the bed. I [ Things For the I I Porch For the 4th I Of course, you'll be entertaining friends or rela- i tives over the Fourth.

"You have ' been busv with your dam. I suppose. I but I —l have had nothing to do but to think, and that is something that I don't often allow myself to do. You have gone far since that night last May when you telephoned me that vou would come up to the house iater—and then broke your promise, Montague." _ . „ , „ "In a way, I suppose I have, he admitted. ~ . j "You have, indeed. You are a to ! tally different man." I "in what way, particularly . "In every conceivable way. If one I could believe in transmigration, one would say that you had changed souls with some old, hard-hitting, rough riding ancestor. Have your ambitions changed, too?" "I am not sure now that 1 had any ambitions in that other life." "Oh, yes, you had," she went on smoothly. "In the 'other life," as you call it, you would have been quite | willing to marry a woman who could assure you a tirm social standing and money enough to put you on a foot ing with other men of your capabili ties. You wouldn't be willing to do that now, would you?—leaving the sentiment out as you used to leave it out then?" "No, I hardly think I should." Her laugh was musically low and sweet, and only mildly derisive. "You are thinking that it is change of environment, wider horizons, and all that, which has changed you. Montague; but I know better. It is a woman, and, as you may remember. I have met her—twice." Then, with a faint glow of spiteful fire in the j I magnificent eyes: "How can you I make yourself believe that she is pretty?" He shrugged one shoulder in token of the utter uselessness of discussion in that direction. "Sentiment?" he queried. "I think we needn't go into that, at this late day, Verda. It is a field that neither of us entered, or cared to enter, in the days that are gone. If I say that Corona Baldwin has—quite uncon sciously on her part, I must ask you to believe—taught me what love; means, that ought to be enough." Again she was laughing softly. "You seem to have broadly forgot ten the old proverb about a woman scorned. What have you to expect from me after making such an ad mission as that?" Smith pulled himself together and stood the argument firmly upon its unquestionable footing. "Let us put all these indirections aside and be for the moment merely a man and a woman as God made us, Verda," he said soberly. "You know, ! and I know, that there was never any i question of love involved in our rela tions past and gone. We might have married, but in that case neither of j us would have got or exacted any- I thing more than the conventional decencies and amenities. We mustn't try to make believe at this late day. You had no illusions about me when I was Watrous Dunham's hired man: you haven't any illusion about me now." "Perhaps not," was the calm re joinder. "And yet to-day I have lied to save you from those who are try ing to crush you." "I told you not to do that," he re joined quickly. "I know you did: and yet, when you went away this morning you knew perfectly well that I was going to do it if I should get the oppor tunity. Didn't you, Montague?" He nodded slowly: common hon esty demanded that much. "Very well: you accepted the ser vice, and I gave it freely. Mr. Kinzie believes now that you are another Smith —not the one who ran away ; from Lawrencevilie last May. Tell | me: would the other woman have I done as much if the chance had fal i len to her?" It was on the tip of his tongue to 1 say, "I hope not," but he did not say it. Instead, he said: "But you don't 1 really care, Verda; in the way you are trying to make me believe you do." "Possibly not; possibly I am wholly selfish in the matter and am only looking for some loophole of es ! cape." (To Be Continued) I I Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton i ...

It is a pretty model for lawn and batiste and gingham and all the washable materials that little girls wear. If gingham is used it will be a morning frock.

"No, not a tbnig, but you know as i i well as I that things have been i j gravitating in that direction. The 1 men surveying outside, and every thing of the kind." "And just as we're so nicely set tled." "Of course. What does that part of it mean to them?" "Did they tell you anything at all downtown?" "Not a thing.

"Of course, that's the reason. ; | Well, what do you tl\ink we'd better do? Hunt for another place?" "That's all there is left to do. You see, if we were important at ] all, we could stay on and try to ! ! make a bargain with them about the lease. But what's the use of I doing that? It would simply mean that we would have to stay on here. The thing that worries me Is that we'll never be able to get another place we like as well. The rents are soaring all the time, and we said when we took this place that we'd never move. You know what it cost us last time." Louise Baker and Gertrude Hayes had been living together' since col lege days. Both girls were doing : well in work especially suited to them. Louise had been out of col lege only two years and was still studying designing. But of late she had made her drawing pay in poster work, and although the girls were not poor they had just begun to get ahead, and it hurt to feel that they must give up the apartment and move just as they were so nicely settled. "You can meet me downtown to morrow," Gertrude said before dropping to sleep that night, "and we'll look over the ground. Of course I don't expect to find any thing; we went over everything so thoroughly before. But we must get a place, there's nothing else to do übout it." || 308 Market St. 308 Market St. ;.; 8 The Waist Sensation of the Year 1 H # tpjj Tomorrow we again demonstrate our supremacy for value-giving.

Louise's retort was a long drawn ' sigh, and for the night the trouble I was forgotten. It was remembered again only too quickly, however, for ! at breakfast Louise though of some i thing with a gasp and said almost J chokingly: "How I'm going to miss j this place. It just seems as if all i the luck I have ever had has come Ito me here. I'm sure things will I never be just the same again." Gertrude, to whom a good night's rest had brought a certain amount ! of comprehension, laughed a little, j "Oh. you never know your luck," j 1 she said brightly. "Let's not give up i till we try." And try they did. They looked j i all slirdluetaoicmfwypetaoinshrdotlt ;up all the real estate agents in i town, it seemed; they hunted for ! days, and found nothing. The rents 1 were all high and the returns were disappointing to say least. Mat i ters became more obvious about their place, until one day the agent ! called upon them thattaoinshrd called and told them that the house was to be torn down and a new apartment hotel erected. It was that day that Louise, eat ing a dreary lunch alone, suddenly read in a daily paper an adverttse j ment of a real estate dealer they ■ had not tried. She suddenly de j termined to go to interview him without waiting for Gertrude, who I had a position downtown as file clerk ! with a large concern. "I'll go and see anyway," she said | rising quickly and going out. "Then |we can truthfully say that we've ! tried them all." If she had been expecting any ! luck, she was very quickly disap j pointed, for there was nothing at I all at the new place. As she was ' going out, the man called her back : and said: "Of course, you wouldn't j care for a place downtown, would you? A walk-up place? I have something here; don't see how it got in with the other things. It's in a business neighborhood, and it's a top floor apartment, but you might j look it over." And he named the address and a rental that made Louise's heart leap suddenly; it was ! fifteen dollars a month less than i they paid now! And to live down i town, a thing they had always want ed to do. Why, there might just be JULY 2, 1917. | a chance that the place would suit, after all. Louise forgot the fact that she I i had been tired as she turrted into a ' side street and, after hunting up the ! I janitor of the building, was finally , ushered up to the top floor. The ! minute the door was opened and she j had stepped into a quaint little j place she knew that It was just the j home to make her happy. She ran I rapturously from one thing to an- I ' other and exclaimed delightedly ! over everything.
