"Your train may not leave for hours, but you can get your baggage together. Goodby," said that good doctor as he shut the door and re turned to his pursuit of making hu man beings either whole or dead. "And now, Roberta Carruthers, no longer Marquise of Grez and Bye, you are in your America, and let's see you do some hustling." And while that very swift taxi conveyed me to the large station that is as beautiful as a cathedral I did some what I name "tall thinking." What would be the re sult of my womanly arrival in that state of Harpeth of my wicked uncle? Would he be forced to mur der me as his letter had said? And if in his anger over vhe mistake he had made from my letter, writ ten in that very bold and difficult handwriting, he should turn from me and the good Nannette and Pierre as well, what would I then do? All must be enacted that a cure for Pierre be obtained. With great energy I had been thinking, but I did not know what it was that I should do to prevent his anger when I arrjved to him as a woman until suddenly the good Dr. Burns' kind ness in marking the resemblance of me to my father in his extreme youth made an entry Into my brain and was received with the greatest welcome by the daredevil who there resides. "Very well, Robert Carruthers, who is no longer the beautiful Mar quise of Grez and Bye, you will be that husky nephew to your wicked uncle in the state of Harpeth whom he 'needs In his business.' What is that you lack of a man's estate save the clothes, which you have money in your pockets to obtain after you have purchased the ticket upon the railway train?" A decision had been made, and action upon it had begun in less than a half hour after the purchase of the ticket for the state of Harpeth had been accomplished. As my father had taught me ob servation in hunting, I had remark ed a large shop for the clothing of men upon the Sixth avenue near to the station. I made my way into it and by a very nice fiction of an In valid brother whom I was taking to the South of America I was able to buy for a few dollars less than was In my pocket two most interesting bags of apparel for a handsome young man of fashion. The man who assisted me to buy was very large, with a head only ornamented with a drapery of gray hair around the edges, and he spoke much of what his son deemed suitable to make ap pearance in the prevailing mode. "He's at tea with a lady friend this afternoon, and I wish you could have saw him when he left the store to meet her." he said as he laid the Eczema n A PuMArl Sign and mall the cou wflll DC VlireU pon below today.

"He had on the match to these gray tweeds and was fitted out in lavender from the skin out Now, what are you going to do about shoes, miss?" "That I do not know, kind sir," I made answer, with great perplexity. "I think that the feet of my rela tive are about the size of those I possess." "Most women would wear shoes near the size of their brothers' if they didn't prefer to waddle and limp along with their feet scrouged. Go over to the shoe department and the clerk will fit you out with what you need in about two sizes larger than you wear. If they are riot right you can tell Just about what will be and exchange 'em by special mes senger. I'll pack all this shipshape before you come back." With which direction I left the kind man and made my way to another of equal kindness. "I have had upon my feet the shoes of my brother when in acci dents while at hunting and fishing and I think I can ascertain a gooa fitting," I made a falsification to the very polite young man who stood with attention and sympathy to wait upon me. "We'll make a selection and then try one pair on," he advised me. And as I gave to him a fine de scription of the clothing I had pur chased he brought forth in accord many wonderful boots and shoes for the riding and a walking and also for the dance. I had never observed that the shoes of men were of such an ugliness, but when one was upon my foot In place of the shoe of much beauty which I discarded both I and the young man had a fine laugh. "Mais, they are of a great com fort," I further remarked. "And they feel about as did those of my brother, who is of a small frame." "Well, if they are not right, send 'em back and I'll change 'em," he answered, with great interest. After the exchange of much money between us the young man went with me to the other kind old man of the white hair, and together they made places in the two bags for the shoes. "Just S7OO all told, and the like of that outfit couldn't be bought in any other place of style in New York for less than a thousand, miss," re marked to me the elderly clerk as he closed and made fast with keys the two bags. "Shall I send 'em spe cial?" "I'll thank you that you call a taxi for me, monsieur." I answered, and as he had mentioned a great hotel in conversation earlier that very wick ed daredevil that resides within me awoke at attention with the large ears of great mischief. I felt in my pocket that there was still much gold, and the man from whom I had purchased the ticket to the state of Harpeth had assured me that the train did not depart until the hour of 6 in the evening. It then transpired that one hour from the time that the young Mile. Grez, who had registered at that large hotel with all her luggage from the steamer while by lies her father was represented as still engaged with the customs, entered her room there emerged young Mr. Robert Car ruthers, who, after paying his bill in his room, had a hallboy send his bags on ahead of him to the rail road station while he sauntered into the tearoom. I have" never again seen the graceful dresses I left in that hotel room. I hope the poor and beautiful domestic who assist ed me in cutting my hair into a foot ball shortness, after the mode of a very beautiful woman dancer which she said girls of much foolishness in America have affected, was reward ed with them.

Leslie Gordon, and Sirs. Leslie Gor don had inadvertently lisped the fact that Sara was an heiress to some one who had promptly' told some one else. The result was the instant popularity of Sara, who was too sweet and too attractive for most of the fortune hunters who besieged her with invitations. Sara was more than pretty—she had that indefinite and most desired thing called charm. But it wouldn't have made any difference whether she was pretty or not, she would have had Just as many invitations out to dances and lunches and din ners, and Sara, as she sat curled up in a corner of a couch In her aunt's boudoir, promptly told that lady so. "And if you don't promise to help me out I'm going back home, and I'll never forgive you. Aunt Sophie, never," sba finished, tearfully. Now Mrs. Gordon was a real wom an and she saw very quickly that •something was bothering her niece. She had noticed several things of late, and most of all she had noticed that Sara had given a great deal of her time to a certain very at tractive man who had absolutely nothing in the world but his salary, which was not at all large. "What Is It you want me to do, dear?" She asked meekly, after studying Sara for a while in si lence. Sara brightened. "If you'll help ! "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" Copyright by International News Service Helen leaned hei head wearily against the back of the seat and looked out at the Long Island scen ery rapidly flying past them. The week-end had been lovely while It had lasted, but Helen dreaded the close apartment and the returning to the city late at night. Winifred was lying up against her arms, a tum bled little figure, half asleep, and as Helen turned around she met War ren's eyes and smiled. "Didn't we have a nice time, dear?" Warren nodded. "Certainly did," he remarked. "Nice people, too; the kind that make you feel as if they liked to have you with them." "And the children were so per fectly darling tp Winifred, weren't they? I don't know when the child enjoyed herself so much." Warren looked down at the sleep ing child. "Too bad we missed the train," he remarked. "She ought to have been in bed long ago." "But Just once, Warren, It won't matter." He nodded shortly. "You had a good time talking to Dorrie, didn't you?" Helen queried. Warren nodded. "Bright child, lßn't she. Likes to ask questions. I like that in a youngster; shows brains." "And Frances is a dear. Imagine that chicken knitting wash cloths for the soldiers." Once more Warren nodded, and then conversation languished until the Pennsylvania station was reach ed. They all swarmed oft the Uain together.

You see it might just be the money! And if it should be I want to know now before it's too late. You do understand, don't you?" Aunt Sophie nodded. She was thinking to herself that It was too bad that any one as dear and de sirable as Sara was could not be loved for herself alone, and if this Eruce Maynard. whom Sara had set her heart on. was as foolish and as mercenary as the rest, she would fee! that a great deal of Sara's un happiness had come about through this, the child's first visit to New York. "Of course, my plan isn't original, but it will do, I think. I want you to help me start a rumor to the ef fect that dad has failed." Mrs. Leslie Gordon started. "But, Sara, that would never do. What would your father say?" "Dad would tell me to go right ahead, if I thought my man was worth it, and I do think so. Aunt Sophie, only I want to be sure. If I never found out the truth, there would always be a doubt in my mind." It took a great deal to persuade Mrs. Gordon to agree to this plan, but she finally did, and she and Sara planned the campaign togeth er. Mrs. Gordon, once persuaded, did her part well. She suggested rather than told anything definite ly. but the rumor started, and grad ually Sara's invitations began to fall off. The younger set, who had gone out of their way to rush Sara wild fields and a breath of fresh air, but all thoroughly tired out. Winifred did not whine —she had been too well brought up for that —but her little legs lagged, and Helen was glad when they were settled in the subway. She vouchsafed a remark that she hoped the apartment would be all right. "Why shouldn't it be all right?" Warren asked briskly. "Oh, no reason at all, dear, ex cepting that we left in such a hurry. You know you weren't sure which train you could take." Warren grunted. "And besides," Helen finished, "I let Mary go up to Rhinebeck with Nora and Joe and the baby. They wore going to spend the week-end." Warren, mindful of the argument they had had once before about Mary's day out, decided to say noth ing this time. After all, that was Helen's business, and as lonar at >he house was properly managed am he had his meals promptly he wo aid let Helen manage. "Well, Mary probably locked up all right," he contented himself with saying, "but I must say that you certainly do let her off easily." "But, Warren, what possible use could we make of her to-night?" "None, I suppose: but at least she could unpack for you and help get Winifred to bed." Helen said nothing. She was too tired to argue. Besides, she did wish that Mary was going to be there. They walked from the subway to the apartment in silence and went up In the elevator. Warren pulled schade and daughter. Mrs. Lottie Sieber, son, Loudon, .and daughter.

P., stationed at Newport, Pa., spent the week-end here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. ly. were now Just pleasantly cor dial. It was true that many of the young people still remained the same, for Sara was good fun, and was genuinely liked, but from be ing a creature high above the others, an heiress worth millions, she be came Just a good fellcw, a nice girl, sure to be successful If asked anywhere, but "wasn't it a shame her father lost his money, she might have made such a brilliant match, you know." The thing that Sara had wanted most to happen came to pass sooner than she had expected. Bruce nard had heard the rumor, but as It was a rumor, no one had men tioned it definitely to Sara. Bruce was different. He came to the point and asked her if it were true. "Yes, it Is true, Bruce," she said, meeting his eyes squarely. His eyes were agleam with what was in his heart. "I don't know what you'll think of me." he went on hurriedly, "but I'm going to ask you to marry me just the same. know that I was going to do that, didn't you, Sara?" Sara flushed adorably and turned away. But he caught her back to him and lifted her face to his. For a breathless second hot blue eyes looked into frightened gray. Then he kissed her. "What I was going o say," he said after an interval, "is this. Do you think you can care enough to marry me on my salary? Do you know. Sara, that it was the luckiest thing in the world that you became poor .just when you did? I never should have asked you if you had stayed an heiress, and now I don't think I could take It all back if I had to." Sara gasped a little and locked her fingers tightly around Bruce's neck. "You've got to stand still while I tell you," she said quickly. "I am Just as rich as I ever was, but I wanted to be sure you didn't care. It was a plan to fool every one, but it's not going to make an difference to you. Bruce Maynard, because I won't let it. If you don't kiss me right away and tell me you love me, I'll sue you for breach of promise, and you're too poor to afford that, so hurry up." t And Bruce surrendered, but not for the reason named. out his key and they stepped Into the apartment. "Somebody must be here," Helen said, wonderingly, as she saw the lighted table lamp in the living room. The next moment Mary her self appeared in the doorway, and Winifred, tired and sleepy, ran into her kindly arms. "Why, Mary, what are you doing heme?" Helen asked, following the girl into the bedroom, where she dropped wearily into a chair. "Oh, I got home • early, ma'am. I knew it was-tired you'd be, and I knew my child would miss her old Mary." And she hugged Winifred, who smiled at her winsomely. "There's a light lunch in the din ning room, ma'am," she added, as she carried Winifred off to bed. "I thought you might be hungry." Helen laughed. "Warren, did you hear that? Mary has fixed us something to eat. I feel as if I never could eat again after that delicious dinner." ' Warren grinned. "Oh, I think X can manage a bite," he said, good naturedly. To War ren food, whether he was hungry or r.ot, had the power to do wonders with his disposition. Helen, laugh ing at him, followed him into the dining room, where she watched him eat sardine sandwiches, and gratefully sipped the hot tea that Mary had brought her. "Wasn't it nice of Mary, dear? Tou see. I was right when I said she was an unusual girl. I had told her not to come bacß until late to night." "Oh. she probably had a good rea son of her own for coming back," Warren returned lightly. "You're too apt to thank Mary for what is no more than her duty." "That's why she does more than she needs to," Helen was on the point of saying, but realizing that Warren simply wanted to prolong the argument she wisely kept still.
