BIG TIMBER By BERTRAND W. SINCLAIR Copyright. 1916. fcy UHU, bm 6 Co. 1 -* Continued . Stella went up to the house, her hand tingling; with his parting grip. Over and above the peril she had ?scaped rose an uneasy vision of a greater peril to her peace of mind. The platitudes of soul affinity, of rresistible magnetic attraction, of love that leaped full blown into real ity at the touch of a hand or the glance of an eye, she had always viewed with distrust, holding them the weaknesses of weak, volatile natures. But there was something ibout thig man which had stirred her, nothing that he said or did, nerely some elusive, personal at tribute. She had never undergone iny such experience, and she puzzled aver it now. A chance stranger, and his touch could make her pulse leap. It filled her with astonished dismay. Afterward, dry clad and warm, sit hlng in her pet chair, Jack Junior :ooing at her from a nest among cushions on the floor, the' natural reaction set in and she laughed at herself. When Fyfe came home she told him lightly of her rescue. He said nothing at first, only sat Jrumming on his chair arm, his eyes steady on her. "That might have cost you your life," he said at last. "Will you re member not to drift offshore again?" "I rather think I shall," she re sponded. "It wasn't a pleasant ex perience." "Monohan, eh?" he remarked sifter another interval. "So he's on Roaring lake again." "Do you know him?" she asked. "Yes," he replied briefly For a minute or so longer he sat there, his face wearing its habitual impassiveness; then he got up, l;issed her with a queer sort of inten. sity and went out. Stella gazed after him, mildly surprised. It wasn't quite In his usual manner. CHAPTER X A Resurrection It might have been a week or so later that Stella made a discovery which profoundly affected the whole current of her thought. The long twilight was just beginning. She was curled on the living room floor, playing with the baby. Fyfe and Charlie Benton sat by a window, SEE WHAT CUTICURA DOES FOR MY DAD!

Warren asked as he cama into the room to find Helen almost In tears. "Oh, Warren, I'm just about at my wits' end to know what to do," 1 Helen returned. | "I suppose it's some crazy non sense not worth worrying about," Warren said scatchingly. Helen did not answer. "Well, out with it," he said, an (gered at being kept waiting. "I thought you didn't want to be bothered with it." "I'd rather hear it than have you go about the house looking like a martyr because you can't tell it," Warren growled out. "Well, it's that Mrs. Frlsby again." "Now what's happened?" "Oh, Warren, she's so everlastingly jealous of everyone. It isn't only her husband, it's every one of us. You know how Emily and Louise and Mrs. Cushlng and I bound ourselves to help her. Well, the way those women have stuck to me and have helped to shift the burden of her friendship off my shoulders has been splendid. I don't know what I should have done if they hadn't helped." "Done," snorted Warren, "you would have fretted yourself into a fit, I suppose, and made life mis erable for me." "Well, I thought I was helping her, and it was thoughtless of me to make that remark." "Nonsense, a sensible woman wouldn't have noticed it." "I don't know about that. Warren. We never know just how we'll react in a crisis. Every woman feels that way where her husband is con cerned. "Well, what's the trouble this time?"

"I'll warrant you she did. The way you people have carried her around on your hands has just about spoiled her. She'll get worse and worse, Wait and see." "Well, what do you advise me to do. Warren?" "Do? Why, drop her. of course, lou've done your best for her. If she's going to make life miserable for all of you, why, drop her. You've brought this trouble on the rest ot the women, you know, and it can't indefinitely." "I hate to drop her, but I admit lam discouraged. I thought at first that companionship would change her character, but I'm beginning to despair of her now." "Lite's too short," said Warren, settling himself comfortably in his easy chair and opening the paper, "to. bother with people like that. You never see a man getting into boxes of this kind, but a woman's friendships are the strangest things I have ever seen. There is no such thing as a real friendship between two women. It's all right until some petty like jealousy over clothes or something breaks it up." Helen was about to retort angrily, tut stopped short and thought over it. Was Warren right? Certainly tr.e comradeship and good fellow ship between men was a thing to envy. They never bothered over pe'ty details; they rarely quar.'-ilud, things were always the same. Why couldn't it be that way with a woman, then? Then suddenly Helen thought of something. "Oh, by the way, Warren, how Is that little deal coming on with Mr. Duvenport?" she queried. Warren looked up. "What make you think of that?" he asked in surprise. "Apropos of friendship," she re turned archly. Warren looked puzzled. "You renjember all those little dinner parties last year, don't you, dear?" she continued. "You remem ber how I disliked Mrs. Davenport, and how you asked me as a favor not snub her because of a deal you had on with Mr. Davenport? You re member how many times I enter tained him at dinner when his wife wan out of town?" "Of course I do; a man's got to do things like that—a business friendship may mean a great deal in a money way." "Well, then, a man's friendship isn t always a disinterested thing, is it?" Helen asked slyly. Warren reddened. "That's an en tirely different matter," he began. "Of course, that's because the shoe is on the other foot now," Helen said softly. "What's that?" "Oh. nothing dear. Aren't you hungry? I'll go out and see liow dinner is progressing. By the way. Warren, I believe you did say once that you couldn't do much for Mr. Davenport outside of business. I ani beginning to like him." And Helen, with a smothered laugh, made her escape from the room, J.S.Relsinger j 212 Locust St. New Location Optometrists Opticians Eyes Examined (No Drops) I Bclslngcr Glasses as low as $2. f !!■♦ mi ■■ imr-eaMaMGL.
