Some stuff that was on the market as a result of that Ab bey-Monohan split. Glad 1 didn t now. rff just as soon have all my money out of timber this reason." They moved away in the press of disembarking, and Stella heard no more of their talk. She took a taxi to the Granada, and she bought a paper in the foyer before she fol lowed the bellboy to her room, She had scarcely taken off her hat and settled down to read when the tele, phone rang. Linda's voice greeted her when she answerod. "I called on the chance that you took the morning boat," Linda said. "Can I run in? I'm just down for the day. I won't be able to hear you sing, but I'd like to see you, dear." "Can you come right now?" SJtella asked. "Come up and we'll have something served up here. I don't feet like running the gauntlet of the dinvng room just now." "I'll be there In a few minutes," Linda answered. Stella went back to her paper. WOMAN SICK TWO YEARS • - ■ Could Do No Work.

The front page reeked of smoke and fire. She glanced through the various items for news of Roaring lake, but found only a brief mention. It was "reported" and "asserted" and "ru mored" that, fire was raging at one or two points there, statements that were overshadowed by positive knowledge of greater areas nearer at hand burning with a fierceness that could be seen and smelled. The local papers had enough feature stuff in fires that threatened the very suburbs of Vancouver without go ing so far afield as Roaring lake. Linda's entrance put a stop to her reading without, however changing tho direction of her thought, for after an exchange of greetings Lin da divulged the source of her wor ried expression, which Stella had immediately remarked. "Who wouldn't be worried." Lin da said, "with the whole country on fire and no telling when It may break out In some unexpected place and wipe one out of house and home." "Is it so bad as that at the lake?" Stella asked uneasily. "There's not much in the paper. I was looking." "It's so bad," Linda returned, with, a touch of bitterness, "that I've been driven to the Springs for safety; that every ablebodled man on the lake who can be spared is fighting fire. There has been one man killed and there's half a dozen log gers in the hospital suffering from burns and other hurts. Nobody knows where It will stop. Charlie's limits have barely been scorched, but there's fire all along one side of the. A change of wind—and there you are. Jack Fyfe's timber is burning in a dozen places. We've been praying for rain and choking in the smoke for a week." Stella looked ou't the north win dow. From the ten story height she could see ships lying in the stream, vague hulks in the smoky pall that shrouded the harbor. "I'm sorry,"- she whispered. "It's devilish," Linda went on. "Like groping in the dark and being afraid—for me. I've been married a month and for ten days I've only seen my husband at brief intervals when he comes down in the launch for supplies or to bring an injured man. And he doesn't tell me any- A Mother's Love f Through all the ages, a mother's love has been the most beautiful sentiment ever expressed.

"Mother's Friend" makes it pos Bible for you to aid nature yourself In the wonderful work to be done and no woman should go a single night without using it. thing except that we stand a fat chance of losing everything. I sit there at the Springs and look at that smoke wall hanging, over the water and wonder what goes on up there. And at night there's the red glow, very faint and far. That's all. I've been doing nursing at the hospital to help out and to keep from brood ing. I wouldn't be down here now only for a list of things the doctor needs, which he thought could be obtained quicker if some one at tended to it personally. I'm taking the evening train back." "I'm sorry," Stella repeated. She said it rather mechanically. Her mind was spinning a throad upon which, strung like beads slid all the manifold succession of things that had happened since she came first to Roaring lake. Linda's voice, continuing, broke into her thoughts. "I suppose I shouldn't be croak ing into your ear like a bird of ill omen when you have to throw your self heart and soul into that concert to-morrow," she said contritely. "I wonder why that Ancient Mariner way of seeking relief from one's troubles by pouring them into an other ear is such a universal trait. You aren't vitally concerned, after all, and I am. Let's have that tea, •dear, and talk about less grievous things. I still have one or two trifles to get in the shops too." k After they had finished the food that Stella ordered set.'. up they went out together. Later Stella saw her off on the train. "Good-by, dear," Linda said from the coach window. "I'm Just selfish enough to wish you were going back with me; I wish you could sit with me on the bank of the lake, aching -and longing for your man lip there in the smoke as I ache and long for mine. Misery loves company." Stella's eyes were clouded as the train pulled out. Something in Lin da Benton's parting words made her acutely lonely, dispirited, out of joint with the world she was de liberately fashioning for herself. In to Linda's life something big and elemental had come. The butterfly of yesterday had become the strong man's mate of to-day. Linda's heart was unequivocally up there in the smoke and flame with her man, fighting for their mutual possessions, hoping with him, fearing for him, longing for him, secure In the knowledge that if nothing else was left them they had each other. It was a rare and beautiful thing to feel like that. And beyond that sorrowful vision of wha;t she lacked to achieve any real and enduring happiness there loomed also a self torturing conviction that she herself had set in motion those forces which now threatened ruin for her brother ard Jack FyiY There was no logical proof of this. Only intuitive, subtle suggestions K'eaned here and there, shadowy linger posts which pointed to Mon -o'ian as a deadly hater and with a score chalked up against Pyfe to which she had unconsciously added. He had desired her, and twice Fyfe had treated him like an urchin caught in mischief. She recalled how Monohan sprang at htm like a tiger thut day on the lake shore. She realized how bitter a humiliation It must have been to suffer that sar donic cuffing at Fyfe's hands. Mon would ever forget or forgive either would ever forget o rforgive either that or the terrible grip on his throat. w (To be continued.)

What It was neither of them knew, but a growing coldness pervaded the atmosphere and there was little or no sympathy between them. Mrs. Chadwick set her brain to work solving the problem. The first real difference that she noted when she actually began to think was the fact that she no longer saw anything of her husband. He c;ime home from the office just in time to eat a hasty dinner. Then there was an affair of some kind to rush off to, or someone was coming in to play cards, and they had ceased telling each other any of the trifling little incidents of the day because there was no time for them. It had been awful, Mrs. Chadwick thought fear fully, why hadn't she noticed it be fore, this rut they had precipitated ! themselves Into, something would have to be done about it. The more she thought the more she remembered and the worse she felt. Ilal never used to be cross In the morning, now he rarely spoke to her at all until after breakfast. Where were the intimacies of mar ried life that she had hoped to share with her husband? Why she had ceased to be his friend even, and they were old married people after two years of married life. That night, Mrs. Chadwick In tended to be the beginning of a change, and she prepared for it all day long. She cajjed up the Bournes and canceled tho dinner date that she had arranged. "I don't really feel well enough, Evelyn," she explained languidly, and heaven knows she was speaking the truth. Evelyn Bourne responded with a yawn plainly heard over the wire. "Oh, don't bother to tell me that, Joyce dear, we all feel tho same about these gatherings. If you have anything better to do, don't mind us." "But it's the truth," Joyce per -1 sisted. "Well, I'm sorry, old girl, go to i bed early then, and get some rest," and she hung up abruptly. Joyce did not worry about whether or not Evelyn Bourne believed the 1 proffered excuse, there was too much at stake. She spent the rest of the day or dering a simple dinner, Just the dishes Hal liked best, and planning the dress she would wear. At 5.30 everything was ready and Joyce, in a soft house gown was fixing some roses in a vase when Hal came in. "Hello, dear," she said, sweetly, lifting her face for his kiss. He kissed her brusquely, and said, wearily: "I'm all in; where are we off to, to-night." Joyce turned to him slowly. It was tho first time that she had Daily Dot Puzzle 2. .5 ? * .

She Bhook her head. "I called off i with the Bournes." "Thank God!" ho said, fervently.! "But what did you do that for?" he asked, suspiciously.; "anything else turn up?" "Not a thing, Hal; why don't you go upstairs and get into something comfortable? We're eating all alone to-night and we're spending the evening in, too." "What's the idea of all this?" Hal asked, wonderingly, allowing Joyce to slip her arm in his and draw him upstairs. She even perched on the arm of a chair and chattered to him while he changed, as she used to do in the old days, and tired as he was, Hal responded to her light badinage, cheered by the fact that he was not to bo forced out where he would have to spend tho entire evening talking table talk and en tertaining blase women. 1 They went down to the dining room, where the cozy little table was laid for two. The dinner was deli cious and the good food and the re laxation which Hal Chadwick had needed for a very long time had changed him In a little while Into the semblance of the lover he had been not so long ago. When the two of them repaired into the living room and Joyce cuddled down In a corner I of the davenport under tho shaded light and Hall lighted a cigar and sat in his own comfortable armchair, which was almost Invariably claimed by some man in their crowd whenever the Chadwicks spent any time in their own home at all, Joyce began: "We are going to begin all over again," she announced promptly, when they were settled. "We're not going to accept any more Invitations and we're going to drop out of the crowd. After all, Hal, what fun do we get out of it all?" "But, dearest, your friends—you'll be lonely," lie protested. But there was a certain note of gladness In his voice as he spoke. "They're not friends," Joyce re torted; "they Just ask us out be cause we're in the crowd, not be cause they like us particularly, and we do the same. Did you ever think about how many real friends we have Ilal? I'm g<sing out after the real brand of friendship after this, and I'm going to take you with me." And Joyce cuddled down on the chair by her husband, conscious of a peace and happiness that she had almost forgotten.
