"The usual thing, I suppose."
"You've got another guess—
packed in among his socks and un
derwear was about twenty pounds
of ore samples. The purser told
me. It was that quartz that put
Trelawney to show so thorough that
he'd just begun t,o wake up when
I passed a minute ago."
-he young man turned his eyes
again upon the big Canadian Scots
man. He was talking with Mrs.
Mallory, who was leaning back
luxuriously in a steamer chair she
had brought aboard at St. Michael's.
It would have been hard to con
ceive a contrast greater than the
one between this pampered heiress
of the ages and the modern busi
ness berserk who looked down into
her mocking eyes. He was the em
bodiment of the dominant male —
efficient to the last inch of his
straight six feet. What he vanted
he had always taken, by the .sheer
strength that was in him. Hack of
her smiling insolence lay a silken
force to match his own. She too
had taken what she wanted from
life, but she had won it by indirec
tion. Manifestly she was of those
women who conceive that charm and
beautv are tools to bend nen to
their wills.
The dusky young woman with the
magazine was the first of those on
the upper deck to retire for the
night. She flitted so quietly that
Gordon did not notice until : ! he bad
gone. Mrs. Selfridge and her friends
disappeared with their men folks,
calling gay good nights to one an
other as they left.
Macdonatd and Mrs. Mallory
talked. After a time she too van-

The big promoter leaned i.sjainst
the deck rail, where he was jollied
by Selfridge. For a long time they
talked in low voices. The little man
had most to say. His chief listened,
but occasionaly interrupted to ask
a sharp, incisive question.
Elliot, sitting farther forward
with Strong, judged that Selfridge
was making a report of his trip Once
he caught a fragment of their talk,
enough to confirm this impression.
"Did Winton tell you that him
self?" demanded the Scotsman.
The answer of his employe came
in a murmur so low that the words
were lost. But the name used told
Gordon a good deal. The commis
sioner of the general land office at
Washington signed his letters Harold
B. Winton.
Strong tossed the stub of his ciga
rette overboard and nodded good
night. A glance at his watch told
Klliot that it was past two o'clock.
He rose, stretched and sauntered I
back to his stateroom.
The young man had just taken off
his coat when there came the hur
ried rush of trampling feet upon the
hurricane deck above. Almost in
stantly he heard a cry of alarm. He
could hear the shuffling of footsteps
and the sound of heavy bodies mov
ing.
Someone lifted a frightened
shout "Help! Help! The call
had come, he thought, from Self
ridge.
Gordon flung open the door of
his roon* raced along the deck and
took the stairs three at a time. A
huddle of men swayed and shifted
heavily in front of him.

Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting
a trunk several years ago. Doctors
said my only hope of cure was an
operation. Trusses did me no good.
Finally I got hold of something that
quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the rupture
has never returned, although I am
doing hard work as a carpenter.
There was no operation, no lost time,
no trouble. I have nothing to sell,
but will give full Information about
how you may find a complete cure
without operation, if you write to me,
Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 351 D
Marcellus Avenue. Manasquan, N. J.
Better cut out this notice and show It
to any others who are ruptured—you j
may save a life or at least stop the I
misery of ruptnre and the worry and I
danger of an operation.
HXRRISBURG tfißk TELEGRAPH
All's Well That
Ends Well M
The aristocrat Miss Faulkner was
washing windows. Yes, strange as it
may seem, she stood in the center
of the tiny livingroom in the tiny
apartment that the newly married
Etta Gray had just moved into, with
her soft georgette sleeves rolled up
above her elbows, and the handsome
velour skirt of her hundred and fifty
dollar tailor-made walking suit un
covered by an apron.
Ktta Gray herself, a small figure in
blue serge, alternately begged Lucia
Faulkner to stop, or laughed at the
unusual sight.
"You'll ruin that gorgeous suit,"
Etta said for the fourth or fifth time.
"My dear, do you realize just how
many times you have made that re
mark, why not be original at least?"
"Well, then, why don't you take oft
your hat?"
"Because there's no need of it. 1
have trained myself to work perfectly
well with it on, so on it stays." I
"You have trained yourself, in
deed," said Etta with small respect.
"I don't believe you've ever done an
inch of work in your life."
"Well, if it's true, it's not my
fault. Why Etta, you and Tommy
are going to be the happiest people
in the world in this darling duck of
a place."
"I know it," Etta said complacent
ly. It took a great deal to make Etta
enthuse.
"You're certainly calm about it. If
I were getting my own apartment to
rights I think I'd fall out the window
frorti sheer Joy."
"Yes you would, you mean you'd
have half a dozen servants to do it
for you and then find fault with the
result."
"O, Etta, why do you treat me
thusly?" said Lucia the incorrigible.
"Hand me that clean cloth, will you,
I'm almost through with this win
dow."
Etta complied in since; the two
went busily to work again.
Finally Lucia jumped down from
the chair and surveyed her work with
pride. "Isn't this room a perfect lave
of a place," she sighed admirably.
"But we haven't an expensive thing
in it," said Etta, looking around
proudly just the same.
"But there's plenty of good taste,
and that wicker stuff with your few
mahogany pieces looks simply splen
did."
"And when the curtains go up, it

will be finished." said Etta. "Do come ,
down now. dear, and I'll make some
tea for us. Aren't you tired?"
"Not a Dit: listen, Etta, honey, you j
make the tea. and I'll put up the cur
tains."
"Oh, but Lucia, you'll be so tired, 1
why, you've done more to-day than j
you've ever done in your life before." j
"Well, it isn't eoing to be the last |
piece of work I do. eitherf I'm going
to get an apartment of my own and j
furnish it just for the fun of the
thing."
"But it wouldn't be so much fun'
if you knew you could afford every
thing. The part that is fun is just
being able to do so much and then
planning to manage it somehow. |
You'd have to give up your money j
'and marry a poor man, Roger llarri- i
son, for instance."
Etta looked closely at Lucia as she j
spoke, but Lucia was fumbling with 1
the little curtainrods and the soft 1
brown and blue madras curtains and j
Etta could see only the curve of her !
after a few minutes.
"He never asked me," said Lucia, j
cheek against the window.
"He thinks he couldn't make you
happy." said Etta; "he's afraid of
you, you're so perfectly dressed and
you have everything."
"But Etta, you don't think I'm like
that, do you?"
"No, but I went to college with
>'QU where nothing like money mat
tered, and I know you well."
Lucia thought of what Etta had
said as she climbed the chair again
and began to hang fcer curtains. Out
in the kitchen, Etta was crooning a
little tune, and it made Lucia feel out
of it and lonely. So absorbed was
she in her thoughts and in her work
! of hanging the curtains straight that
j she didn't hear the click of Tom's
I key in the latch, in fact she was con
| scious of nothing until a voice she
j knew very well spoke to her from
; the foot of the stair. Then she start
ed and nearly tumbled off. and Roger
Harrison caught her* for he had come
in with Tom to look over the new
place.
"I'm having the time of my life,"
she said to Roger, blushing con
sciously as she met his eyes.
"I didn't know you cared about |
anything like this," he was saying j
earnestly.
"How could you when you never'
tried to find out?" Lucia said quickly, j
lifting her chin high and trying to I
look haughty.
"I'm coming with the tea," called '
Etta from the kitchen, "look out. you !
There is no smarter blouse
than this one with the single
button and buttonhole effect
ing the closing. Here, it is worn
with an odd skirt, but it makes
an admirable blouse for the suit
and it is adapted to all the
pretty soft materials that are
liked just now, to crepe de
chine and to voile and to the
soft Eatins that are greatly in
vogue, and you can make the
blouse to match or you can
make the vest, collar and cuffs
of a different material. Crepe
de chine would be pretty with
these portions of satin. The
skirt is a most becoming and
attractive one with plaits that
give long lines at the same time
that they give added fullness.
Here, the skirt is made of a
tweecj in mixed colors and filk
braid is used as trimming, while
the blouse is made of crepe de
chine to match the prevailing
color in the skirt.
For the medium size the
blouse will require, yards of
material 36 inches wide,
yards 44, and the skirt,
yards 44, yards 54.

Roger caught one of Lucia's slim
pink hands in his for a moment, and
looked down at it as it lay in his.
"Why, it's dirty," he said in amaze
ment.
"Certainly it is," laughed Lucia.
"I've been washing windows." And
her fingers closed around his in a
moment of understanding.
