THE HEART BREAKER A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY IVy VIRGINIA TKRHCXE VAX BE W ATER (Copyright, 1918, Star Co.) CHAPTER 111. Dinner in the Brent household was a simple affair, yet the table was always daintily set, and the glass, silver and china that had been a part of Mrs. Brent's wedding furnishings shone and glistened brightly. Mrs. Higgins did not sit at the head or foot of the table. She in sisted that these seats be occupied by the two sisters. But she pre sided from her place at the side of the board with a quiet digftity that proved her birth and breeding. Her years as a housekeeper and companion had not made her for get that she was also a lady. She was not much of a talker, but listened with evident interest as the two giris chatted. She asked no questions until Honora men tioned that Arthur Bruce was com ing to take them driving. "We are to be ready at S o'clock," she added. Mrs. Higgins looked up anxiously. "You two girls are not going alone with him, are you?" she queried. "Oh, no," Honora replied. "Mrs. Bruce will accompany us." I "I am glad." Mrs. Higgins ap proved. "1 would not want you to go without a chaperon." Mildred laughed scoffinglv. "I really fail to see why we should need a chaperon when we two girls are together." she argued. "I can understand why it might not be the proper thing for a young girl to take a night ride alone with f . , = s j| Heal Skin Diseases ' " J It is unnecessary for you to suffer with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and similar skin troubles.

Old-Fashloned lilcas ;j "Well—perhaps I am old-fash l loned, but I think it looks rather ; queer, my dear," Mrs. Higgins tried , | to explain. "Who's going to see us?" Mildred I demanded. "However," with a . light laugh, "there's no use in I fussing about it now. For Mrs. . Bruce is going. Honora," turning |to her sister, "why did you ask to . sit on the back seat with Mrs. . Bruce? Do you really mean that ' you prefer sitting there? Won't it be rather slow music for you? ; , Wouldn't you rather be In front 1; with Arthur? "I like Mrs. Bruce very much," Honora evaded. "I just suggested my sitting with her —for I think it will be pleasanter for Arthur to have a girl in front with hint." "But you might have been that girl." Mildred reminded her. 1 Honora did not reply. In her heart she was wondering if Arthur wouid by any chance have suggest ed her occupying the place by him. Then, as she recollected the look in his eyes when he saw Mildred com ing up the path this afternoon, she sighed inaudibly. Of course he would want Mildred 1 by him! Yet it had not been consideration for her sister that had made Honora Brent propose that she herself be : next to Mrs. Bruce. It had been a ' desire to spare Arthur the painful ! knowledge that Mildred had been disappointed or chagrined at the knowledge that his mother was to I accompany them upon their jaunt. For the older sister did not feel j :at all sure that Mildred—pretty and wilful—cared any more for Arthur Bruce than for any one of the various young men whom she knew. The two girls and Arthur : had always been good friends. Since , : his return to Fairlands from col- | lege Honora had seen signs that the man's interest in her attrac j tive little sister might develop into something warmer than mere j friendship. Her suspicions along this line • increased as she watched the I pair on the front seat during the j moonlight drive across the river j and up the valley.

The girl leaned back comfortably and drank in the beauty of the night. It was such a night as comes sometimes early in October. The air was as clear as crystal. On the right the river stretched like a stream of molten silver: on the opposite shore the lights of the city shone yellow, and. on the left, were comfortable farmhouses. In many of the gardens were spread huge white sheets to protect the late flowers from a delayed and probable frost. At tirst Arthur and Mildred con versed Inerrily. Front scraps of their conversation Honora knew that their speech was oniy of light and trilling matters. She was glad this was so. She did not acknowledge to herself how keen was her interest in Arthur Bruce. But she did recognize the fact that she found him more charming than heretofore. That was but natural, she mused. Of late years she had seen him so seldom that she had not realized how he had developed, how much he had broadened and deepened. Did Mildred appreciate these im provements in him? An l"nwelcome Thought This question which thrust itself upon her consciousness seemed al most disloyal to her sister, and she changed the current of her reflec tions abruptly, and began to listen once more to what Mrs. Bruce was saying. But the matron's remarks did not alter the trend of the girl's thoughts, for ghe was speaking of Arthur. "The bov is so glad to get back to Fairlands," the mother was say ing, "and it means everything to his father and me to have him here. When parents have an only child, they feel that all their eggs are in one basket, as it were. It's been hard for us to have him away so much, but we hope, now that he is back, he will stay right near us. Even if he marries. I won't lose him—always supposing he marries the right kind of girl. And of course he will." "Of course he will," Honora echoed faintly. She was suddenly embarrassed and at a loss as to what to say. She could not understand her own mental processes at this juncture. (To He Continued) French Indemnity at $68,000,000,000 Paris, Nov. IS.—Germany's debt to France is estimated at 340,000,000,000 francs (about $65,000.000,000 by Le Matin in an editoral. The newspaper apportions the debt as follows: Re turn of the indemnity of 1871 with in terest. 60,000,000,000 francs; expenses in the present war. 140,000.000,000 francs, and reparation for damages. 100,000.000,000 francs. Le Matin declares that France must obtain acknowledgement of the debt before examining the way in which it is to be paid. France wants no in demnity profit, but all Frenchmen want lawful reparation. Germany and Austria, it adds, should return to the Allies a mini mum of 7,000,000 tons of shipping in payment for that destroyed n 'he war, but they have at their disposal only 3,000,000 tons. Consequently the delivery of th<? entire German- Austrian merchant marine would con stitute only half reparation. WIVES THEY I.EFT BEHIND London.
