Her pause had been purely involuntary. When she be came conscious that she was eagerly drinking in each word she hurried by. Her mind was one urgent ques tion mark while she laid the sleep ing youngster in his bed and removed her heavy clothes. What sort of) hostilities did Monohan threaten?; Had he let a hopeless love turn to the acid of hate for the man who nominally possessed her? Stella could scarcely credit that. It was too much at variance with her idealistic conception of the man. He would never have recourse to such j littleness. Still, the biting contempt in Fyfc's voice when he said to Ben ton: "You underestimate Monohan. He'll play safe; * * * he's foxy." That stung her to the quick. That was not said for her benefit. It was Fyfe's profound conviction. Based on what? He did not form judg ments on momentary impulse. She recalled that only in the most direct way had he ever passed criticism on Monohan, and then it lay mostly in Dainty Decoration and Arrangement For Guest Room CONVENIENCE in arrangement is one of the first considerations in the bedroom, particularly with reference to the light.

TODAY *SONE T: j a tone, suggested more than spoken. Yet he knew Monohan, had known hirr. for years. They had clashed long before she was a factor in their lives. Fyfe and Benton came to dinner more or less preoccupied, an odd mood for Charlie Benton. After ward they went into session behind the closed door of Pyfe's den. An hour or so later Benton went home. While she listened to the soft chuff a-chuff-a-cliuff of the Chickamin dying away in the distance Fyfe came in and slumped down in a chair before the fire where a big fir slick crackled. He sat there silent, a half smoked cigar clamped in one corner of his mouth, the lines of his square jaw in profile, determined, rigid. Stella eyed him covertly. She leaned forward to speak. Words quivered on her lips, but as she struggled to shape them to ut terance the blast of a boat whistle came screaming up from the water, near and shill and imperative. Fyfe came out of his chair like a shot. Me landed poised on his feet, lips drawn apart, hands clinched. Ho held that pose for an instant, then relaxed, his breath coming with a quick sigh. Stella stared at him. Nerves! She knew the symptoms too well. Nerves at terrible tension in that big, splendid body! A slight quiver seemed to run over him; then he was erect and calmly himself again, standing in a listening attitude. "That's the Panther," he said, "pulling in to the Waterbug's land ing. Did I startle you when I bounced up like a cougar, Stella?" he asked, with a wry smile. "I j guess I was half asteep. That whistle jolted me." Stella glanced out the shaded win dow. "Some one's coming up from the float with a lantern," she said. "Is there —is there likely to be anything wrong. Jack?" "Anything wrong?" He shot a quick glance at her, then casually, "Not that I know of." The bobbing lantern came up the path through the lawn. Footsteps crunched on the gravel. "I'll go see what he wants," Fyfe remarked. "Calked boots won't be good for the porch floor." She followed him. "Stay in. It's cold." Ho stopped in the doorway. "No; I'm coming," she persisted. They met the lantern bearer at the foot of the steps. "Well, Thorsen?" Fyfe shot nt him. There was an unusual note of sharpness in his voice, an irritated expectation. Stella saw that it was the skipper of the Panther, a big and burly Dane. He raised the lantern a little. | The dim light on his face showed itl bruised and swollen. Fyfe grunted. I "Our boom is hung up," he sa,id plaintively. "They've blocked the river. I got licked for arguin* the point." "How's it blocked?" Fyfe asked. "Two swifters uh logs strung across the channel. They're drlvin' piles in front. An' three donkeys buntin' logs in behind." "Swift w r ork. There wasn't a sign of a move when I left this morn nin," Fyfe commented dryly. "Well, take the Panther around to the in ner landing. I'll be there." "What's struck that feller Mono han?" the Dane sputtered angrily. "Has he got any license to close the Tyee, He says he has—an' backs his j argument strong, believe me. Maybe you can handle him. I couldn't. Next time I'll have a cant hook handy. By jingo, you gimme my pick uh T efty's crew, Jack, an' I'll bring that cedar out." "Take the Panther round," Fyfe replied. "We'll see." Thorsen turned back down the' slope. In a minute the thrum of the boat's exhaust arose as she got un der way. "Come on in. You'll get cold standing there," Fyfe said to Stella. She followed him back into the living room. Ho sat on the arm of a big leather chair, rolling the dead c'gar thoughtfully between his lips, | little creases gathering between his eyes. "I'm going up the lake," he said at last, getting up abruptly. "What's the matter, Jack?" she asked. "Why, has trouble started up there?" ' "Part of the logging game," he answered indifferently, "Doesn't amount to'mU.ch." "But Thorsen has been fighting. His face was terrible. 'And I've heard you says be was one of tha most peaceable men alive. Is it—is Monohan" — "We won't discuss Monohan," Fyfe said curtly. "Anyway, there's no danger of him getting hurt." He went into his den and came out with hat and coat on. At the door he paused a moment. "Don't worry," he said kindly. "Nothing's going to happen." (To be continued.)

WILSON WOODROW This Is one of my recent letters: j '•Dear' Madam—Although I take| it for granted that you would decline to discuss religion in your columns, just tell us, however, in your own fascinating way your opinion of mod- j ern Spiritualism, and all the new, I cheerful religions. Are they found- j ed upon anything substantial or not | At your earliest convenience, please, j and greatest oblige. "E. P. H." j The writer little know what he I was doing when he hurled such a challange at me. A zeal for re ligious controversy goes with my Scotch Presbyterian blood. To sug gest that 1 would decline to dis cuss such subjects is like throwing a bone to a hungry doy and expect ing him to gnaw it. If you want to know my idea of true enjoyment it is to sit with a little group of doctrinaries and hair splitters, and from dawn to dewy eve thresh out comparative religions, their history any psychology. E. P. H. asks me for an opin ion on modern Spiritualism and all the new, cheerful religions, and whether they are founded upon any thing substantial or not." 1 am per- | fectly willing to give him my views [ as they arc to-day; they may be something quite different to-mor row. And 1 hope I shall not be tiresomely dogmatic and didactic in | my expression of them. The subject is to my mind one of j immense importance to the whole I human race. Modern Spiritualism and by that I mean the subject as it | is treated by Sir Oliver Lodge and j his conferees developing a field I for scientific research which is en titled to as much consideration and respect as is bestowed upon any of the so-called established sciences, i It is, to be sure, in its Infancy, in the' stage in which effort is limited to the recording and classification of phenomena and the formulation and j testing of theories; experimentation,i in other words. The investigators have not yet I been able to discard the methods, of what one may call the "old-fash ioned" Spiritualism; the familiar { spiritualistic seance at which com- [ munication with the dead is sought through mediums by purely material , means, such as hand writing, speech I or rappings. But already the train-1 ed scientists are looking beyond this. 1 To the lay mind their expectations seem beyond realization. But con- 1 rider. Communication with the liv ing by telegraph and telephone and , wireless was as incomprehensible to! the world a century ago as com munication direct anil infallible, without apparatus of some sort : telepathy—is to us to-day. To that former generation the ; wireless, etc., would have been re jgarded. as impossibilities; yet they 1 have been achieved. Not, however j until older methods were abandoned. | Possibilities beyond the post-chaise I and the stagecoach, once admitted, j soon became actualities. And the reason why these scien tific men are looking to a mode of communication above and beyond the old methods of the spiritualistic seance is that they have recogniz ed that we are dealing with a new force in the universe—new I mean, Every woman will want at least one blouse with a high collar this season for it is the new feature.

It is a force which operates in thel every-day life of humanity and al-1 ways has since the world began. It [has been consciously appreciated by] prophets and seers and poets—thei Bible is full of reference to it —and it has been put to practical use in I every branch of the art, science! and literature. It is and always has been the origin and artificer of every | achievement, great and small. It isi the most pervasive and practical in-j fluence in human life. And yet a | reference to it by its familiar name is received with skepticism, or is carelessly dismissed as a subject fit only for the rhapsodies of poets. The name of the force is—Faith. "Faith?" E. P. H. may explain. "Why you talk of it as if were something that could be analyzed i and established and controlled like I electricity or the attraction of gray- I itation." Well, why not? Once the laws of faith are known as those of electrici ty are known—why not? Is the idea so fantastic? Is it to be denied that, what is called faith is a force?! Subtle, elusive, beyond description. | if you 'will; but still a force, a lit! subject for scientific investigation i and research as serious and intense j as any laboratory work that ever was' concluded. Are the causes which lie beyond 1 the authenticated miracles, so-called, —at Lourdes, for Instance —never | to be examined? Are they and the] myriad of similar manifestations al ways to be regarded as false or else) unworthy of scientific recognition?! Are the thousands of cures credited | to Christian Science to be ignored?! Are we never to examine the | meaning and significance of thatj greatest of all scientific definitions, I "Now faith is the substance of things! hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," or of that greater dictum, "According to your faith be it unto you?"
