He laughed a great deal, and told so anany good stories that Mrs. Living stone decided she had never seen Jiim more entertaining than he was that evening. But she noticed that Gerald was not exerting himself to be agree jiblo. His hostess watched him with .some apprehension. He had been rather pale, she thought, when he had come in from the dining room. Hhe wondered just what the men had been talking about in there, furiosity was one of her strongest characteristics, and she determined to ascertain what had depressed Stewart. "Well," she ventured, "you gentle unen did not linger long over your Cigars to-night, did you? What was '■the matter? Were there no inter esting stories to tell?" Neither of the men responded, and Mr. Livingstone felt it incumbent upon him to reply in the same jocose tone in which his wife had spoken. "I told them one amusing occur rence in which the joke was oit you, Uny dear," he remarked. "However, we will not repeat that little tale now." Mrs. Livingstone, was mystified. "The Joke was on me?" she ques tioned. "I have not the most remote rldea what you refer to, Stephen." Her husband moved uncomfort ably. "Oh, never mind, my dear." I.lie "evaded. "It's not such a funny joke after all." "But I insist upon knowing what l it was," Mrs. Livingstone persist ed. "If you won't tell me one of these young men must." She glanced from Gerald, to Mil ton.' Like other inquisitive persons, isjie hid her insatiate curiosity be hind a laughing demeanor. Gerald turned to Cynthia and be gan to talk to her in a low voice. Milton, happening to be standing | near the library table, was left to 'his future mother-ln-law's mercy. "What story did my husband tell |you, Milton?" she inquired, coax ' ingly. "Was It a joke on me, as he says?" Milton spoke Impetuously. "I do not think it was a joke on you at all. If there was any joke It was rather on some of the rest of us."

Mrs. Livingstone therefore trained her guns again upon her husband. "Stephen," shaking her finger at him, "tell me at once what you have been saying to these boys about me." "Nothing especial," Stephen Liv ingstone declared. Then seeing In his wife's eyes a look he knew only too well, he strove to gratify her inquisitive mood. "1 ofily told them," he admitted, "of the amusing mis take you made about a certain scene you witnessed here in the firelight several weeks ago." "Oh.!" Mrs..Livingstone's ejaculation was abrupt. One might have wondered whether It was cuased by what her husband said or by the effect of his speech on the quartet of young peo ple. Gerald Stewart sat as If turned to stone, his eyes fixed on the floor. Milton uttered a smothered excla mation and threw his cigar end into the nre, then, stooping over the flame, pretended to be interested in watching it burn. Cynthia flushed and Dora shot a startled look In her direction. Yet nobody asked further ex planation. Some one must say something, and Mrs. Livingstone came to the rescue. She saw, that she had been guilty of a mistake in insisting on this revelation, and she hastened to repair her error. "Oh," with a light laugh, "that was only a trifling matter—an opti cal illusion, you might call It. I don't see why you ever bothered to tell any one about It. Stephen. And now, my dear, suppose that'you and ! I go upstairs and let these children j have a little while together without J our chaperonage." "Do not hurry, mother," Dora de j murred. "We 'children,' as you call us, have nothing especial to say to one another. You may as well stay here with us." Milton Is in Earnest But to the astonishment of all j hearers, Milton spoke out suddenly: "I beg you pardon, Dora, but j there is something I want to talk | to you about—if you are not too tired to give me a few minutes." 1 Cynthia stood up. "Gerald and 1 will go over into the drawing room for a while," she said. "You will not!" Dora contra dicted. "Milton can talk to me at some other time. I am tired and want to go to bed early." "Dora!" the mother's ejaculation was fraught with displeasure. "I am surprised at you!" "Because 1 told the absolute truth?" the girl laughed. "Well, Milton is accustomed to my engag ing little ways. If he isn't, he may as well get accustomed to them now." But when Mr. and Mrs. Living stone had said good night and gone upstairs, Cynthia spoke to Gerald with an authoritative tone quite un usual in her. "Gerald —come over Into the drawing room with me, please," she said. And. without waiting for his re ply, or to listen to any protest from her cousin, she left the room ab ruptly, accompanied by her be trothed. In the drawing room, she turned to him, her manner softened. "Thank you, Geralfl," she said, "for following my lead. I really have nothing especial to sayUo you. I only wanted to give Milton a chance to speak alone with Dora. I can see that he has something which he feels must be said. That is the reason I got out of the way." (To Be Continued) Bumper Wheat Crop For 1918, Hoover Says New oYrk. May I.—Sounding an optimistic note as to the future wheat crop, Federal Food Adminis trator Herbert C. Hoover, In a speech here to-day, predicted the nation's crop this coming year would be be tween 800,000,000 and 900,000,000 bushels.

The Telegraph has already heard from many club women regarding the school and many are preparing to attend, and while we would feel that It fell short of success if every session did not attract many club women, we are also interested in the woman who, for lack of time or ther reason, does not belong to clubs and we want them to be our guests every d£ty.

He Is about twenty, and 1 am sure his mother approves of his liking me. About a week ago he wrote that he was simply tired of me. You don't know how badly 1 feel about It. I have lots of men acquaintances, but there are none I love. L. H. My dear girl, you do not love him at all! You can't. With the fool ish contrariness of human nature, you want what is not good" for you, what is refused you. What this boy did is hard-hearted, cruel and utter 1 yindlfferent to the rights of anyone but himself. Fancy marrying a man who would hurt and lacerate your feelings whenever he too a notion. That a boy of twenty should change his mind about his supposed true-love is not so very startling; but the nonchalant way that he cass dignityyou aside, as he would a pair of old gloves, mustarouse your pride and dignity to your defence. Culti vate the society of other boys. You will find any number who are far more admirable—yes and loveable, too—than this weakling.
