CHAPTER XX.
(Copyright, 191S, Star Company)
At the sound of the motor horn.
Honora started nervously. It was
one of the so-called "siren" variety
and she had heard it once before
this evening.
Turning in her seat, she leaned
out and gazed into the glare of a
pair of headlights coming straight
toward her.
What could the driver be think
ing of? He must surely see Arthur's
red tall light glowing in the dark
ness. He must also see by ■ the
light of his own lamps that a car
was directly in front of his.
Again the siren-notes sounded and
Arthur swung his car almost out of
the road to avoid being struck as
the other automobile came abreast
of his.
"Infernal idiot!" he exclaimed
wrathfully.
His voice was drowned In t'-e roar
of the car that lurched past, skidded,
almost overturned, and, righting it- j
self, shot away around a curve
ahead.
"Oh!" Honora started as if to
seize his arm. then recollecting her
self, refrained. "They will have an
awful accident!" she gasped.
"That was Chandler's car." Ar
thur exploded. "Tom is probably
drunk and driving straight to the
devil—or the hospital. Why I
what's the matter?" For his com-I
panion had given vent to a low j
moan.
"Hurry!" she begged. Hurry
around that bend there. I am sure
something dreadful has happened.
There —look!"
As they rounded the curve they
saw by the clear moonlight that the
runabout that had passed them at
such a furious rate had plunged,
head first, down an embankment
at the side of the road. Thirty (
later the Bruce car had
reached the spot and Arthur sprang
out.
Quick as he was. Honora was on
the ground as soon as he. and, to
his amazement, was holding out her
arms to a figure that was climbing
up from the shailow ditch.
Mildred Escapes
'Milly! Mllly!" she murmured.
"Thank God you are safe!'
At the same moment Tom Chand
ler clambered up from the other
side of the automobile.
"Lord. that was a close shave!" ;
he declared unsteadily. "Why, hello. ,
people! Where did you drop from?
Milly, are you hurt, my dear?"
"X —no." Mildred giggled hys
tcrically, her teeth chattering. "Oh,
here come some people! I wish
they wouldn't!"
A car full of men was approach
ing, and the driver slowed up as he
saw there had been an accident.
•Listen, Milly!" Honora com
manded quickly. 'You were not
with Tom Chandler. Y'ou drove out j
here with Arthiv and me.-—and we
slopped to see if Tom was hurt, j
Understand!"
••Well —I'll be darned!" Tom mut
tered. "You are a cool one!"
"She's right!" Arthur broke in
incisively. Then, more loudly, as
the new arrivals drew along
side. "Come on. ladies! We may
as well get hack into our car, now
that we know that Chandler him
self is all right. Tom I'll stop at
the nearest garage and send a
trouble-man back for your ma
chine."
"I'll wait here till he comes.
Tom rejoined. "In spite"—with an
unnatural laugh—"of your urgent
invitation to me to ride back with
you."
"Good night Tom!" Milly called
shrilly as Arthur started his car.
"I am sorry that we"—
But Honora silenced her before
she conld finish her sentence.
None of the party spoke again
until after Arthur had stopped at a
garage and ordered a repair man
to go back to where Tom waited.
Then, as they drove on, Milly de- ,
clared herself.

I "I think it's horrid of you,
f Honora," she said hotly, "to make
<me go off and leave Tom like this
, ' just because he had an accident."
i "I had to, dear," Honora tried
■' to soothe the agitated girl. "When
■ ! you are less excited you will see
; for yourself that I am right."
[ | "No, I won't!" Milly burst forth.
"There was nothing wrong in my
. driving with Tom—any more than
| there is in your being here alone
with Arthur. Accidents might hap
i' pen to anybody. It was not Toni's
fault."
She Defends Him
j Honora, on the back seat with
1 her sister, replied in a low voice,
but Mildred retorted loudly:
"I don't care if he had been drink
ing! It was only two or three high
balls, anyway. He was not a bit
j drunk."
The older girl laid a silencing
• hand on her companion's arm. "Be
quiet." she murmured, with a
| warning gesture toward Arthur,
i who, during this conversation had
i remained durtib.
By the moonlight Honora could
! see that his face was white and set.
. and when Mildred spoke of Tom's ■
j having had some highballs, he
started i.s if to say something, then
! closed his lips in the thin line that
the observer knew meant a rigid j
j effort at self-control.
Mildred, disregarding the warn
| inR gesture, shrugged her shoulders.
"1 don't care," sho repeated.:
' "Tom's not to blame!"
Tlrbn, her indignation subsiding
suddenly, she sank back Into the
1 corner of the seat and began to cry
softly ;
Once a smothered sob escaped
her. At the sound Arthur glanced
over his shoulder, then looked
straight ahead. > |
"1 will get you home as soofi as I
j can, Mildred." he said gently. "I
know you need rest and quiet."
That was all. Not a word of
! blame for her. Honora reflected bit
terly. She wondered what this sil
ent man was thinking.
After a while she tried to lesse'n
i the strain of the situation by speak
' ing of the beauty of the night, and,
by commenting on certain land-,
marks they passed. I
But to her efforts at comefsa-.
tion Arthur replied in polite but,
i frigid monosyllables. I
And all the while Mildred cried
softly in the corner of the back ■
seat.

returned the circlet of brilliants j
which Neal had given Phoebe.
"Well, now, Barbara Anne, do you '<

this ?" said Father Andrew with one |
j of his nice, slow smiles.
"No—l understand you're calcu- j

Father Andrew laid down the !

! came over to me and pulled nie
j down on his knees just as he used
to do when I was a wee lass and
j ran crying from school with a tale
| of fancied—or real —wrongs.
"Barbara Anne, you listen to an
| old country man who loves you and
\ who loved your mother before you—
i and loves her yet." said he- "You've

"So you're going—for fear you'll |
be tempted to help me solve my !
marriage problem," I said, half in j
' amusement, half in longing to have j
; him stay and help me.
"I'm going because as I told you
once, I don't believe in having
i strange fowls roosting in a new nest.
i And. Barbara Anne, I'm going be- (

Why should Virginia's husband be

I —have you seen much of him
i since?" I asked, sparring for time

( reason for this phone call.
"Yes, I've seen him round n few
' times. Well Mrs- Harrison, you
' looked to be pretty sane and —r a
! real woman that day we met.
Would you would you give me an
hour to-day? It would mean a
j lot more to me than 1 can put into
j words right off the bat like this."
I ' "Why?" I asked bluntly.
"I I can't tell you over the

} came over the phone. I could vis

! careless way he had of tossing his
head and smoothing back his iron
gray hair with one long-fingered,
| nervous hand.
"Is it ab<*it Xeal < — and Evvy?" I
| asked.
I"No," he said curtly. "It's about
nie and only about any one else
# incidentally. I thought you were
" the sort of woman who might stand
by a man who called to you for
help. 1 see 1 was wrong. Sorry.
Please don't think I meant any
thyig for Jim to take offense at—
, wnen I asked you to meet me."
j "Wait a minute. I'm taking my
j father to the 2.30 train. Then I'm
! going to do an errand or two- I
j can pieet you any time after 4. Mr.
; Dalton. But I can't ask you into

j "Very well, Mrs. Harrison." Pftt
Dalton's voice broke strangely,
j "Shall we say the Clinsarge at 4 ?
j People don't tea there a lot and
i we can have a quiet hour or two."
"I'll be there."
When I hung up the receiver and
, turned. Father Andrew had gone
j into the other room. I might al
i most have expected that —it was
| part of the fine old-fashioned cour
j tesy of him never to intrude or
! pry. I stopped a moment to collect
j myself —to plan. Should I confide
[ in my father?
; Quickly I decided against this.
| He had Just told* me that I must
j learn to stand on my own two feet
i and not to lean on him. He had
i made me see. too, that in order to
| make a success of my marriage, I
! must make friends with Jim's own
| people. Now I had a "hunch" that
; seeing Pat Dalton was the right
i thing to do that it might prove a
' real factor in the happiness of many
| people some day. Had I the right to
I ask his advice?
Besides, Father Andrew had.Neal
Ito worry about. I wasn't going to
' send him off worn out from puz
zling over me. And besides I
i had to contess it to myself I
j wasn't at all sure that my daddy
| would approve of my going to tea
! with any man but my own Jim. But
I in spite of that I knew it was quite
"proper" to keep my engagement—
and felt 1 actually owed it to Jim !
to do so, for I was doing it for Vir- ]
ginia. But what would Virginia
say If she knew?

More Fresh Air
Warning against the closed window

Department of Health to-day by Dr.
B. Franklin Royer, the acting com
missioner of health, because of the
increase in influenza cases reported

street cars are not ventilated, the air
in some heaters is poor and railroad j
trains are too hot.
Di*. Boyer says that the ventilation
problem must be jflven attention by
everyone as a health precaution be

epidemic of influenza is hanging over
the state." He especially calls at
tention of men in charge of railroad
