"I've told you before that I won t
have N'orreys snooping around after
you." exclaimed Jim.
"Jim, careful! Terry's not had time
to get the elevator yet —he might
hoar you." 1 cried.
"Let hint hear! The more people
hear the likelier it is to come to Nor
rey's ears. I won't have him snoop
ing around after you. That's Ilat.
Iwas tired from the day's events

Kvvv claiming all Jim's attentions,

Jim.
' No, just like all fine men. Like
Terry, for instance. Decent. Cap

me a man can't like me for my
mind —the way he might like you?"
"Do you mean to tell me." mimick

low all this baby-doll stuff? I sup
pose you're so pure minded that you
didr.Y try to break up my friendship
with Tom Mason by telling me a hard

T liked him better to-night. But
whether T trust Tom or not has noth

C "The reason I buy my clothes at your shop," A

Q "There's a saving of several dollars on a $35 or a

FRIDAY EVENING,
I never will. And t won't have one
snopping around after my wife."
"Snorring!" I repeated in exaspera
[: tion. "Can't you find another word?"
.; My feelings were getting the better

in a quarrel. Instead, 1 was saken

"That word," said Jim with harsh
dignity, "covers the situation. Nc

HULRRISBURG TELEGRAPH
1 THE HEART BREAKER !
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
By VIRGINIA- TEIIHIJiE VAN DE WATEH
t HPT Ell 1.1 r
Copyright 1919, Star Company !
A dim light was burning in the ;
' lower hall of the Bruce residence |
' when Arthur fitted his key into the'
! lock and admitted himself and his
I companion.
j "Mother is up in the library," he i
said. "As she does not know you 1
are coming, I will go and tell her'
you are here. Come along and wait j
in the hall until she hears the pleas- '
ant news." •
He ran lightly upstairs and Honora
followed mor e slowly. At the top
of the stairs she stopped and stood
waiting for Arthur to summoi| her :
! into the large front room that served
j as library for the Bruce family.
The house was very quiet the i
girl could not help overhearing Ar- j
thur's announcement that he had !
brought someone to stay with his
mother to-night.
"Not another nurse!" was the dls- j
| mayed exclamation.
| "No indeed, dear." Arthur said re
i assumingly. "I went around to the
I Brents' to see if one of the girls I
could not come, and one of them did.^j
There was a shrot silence which !
impressed the listener disagreeably, j
If Mrs. Bruce were pleased, she would •
\ utter some quick expression of ap- I
j proval.
| "It was a kind thought on your j
part, dear son." the mother said at j
last reluctantly. "But I am sorry !
you did not consult me first. Where '
is Mildred? Did you leave her down- j
stairs?"
"She is at home," was the quiet re-
Joinder. "Honora came—not Mil
dred."
"Oh, I am so glad!"
A (•enuinr Relief
The exclamation was too genuine
and too involuntary to be misun
destood. and Honora appreciated that
the change in th e mother's tone was
a fair index of the difference in her
feeling towards the two Brent sis
ters.
The older girl felt suddenly guilty.
For it was Mildred, not she. who
would be a daughter to this woman.
Arthur's reappearance checked
further reflection. • She must not let
him suspect that she had overheard
the conversation between his mother
and himself.
Mrs. Bruce rose from her chair
and stretched out her arms to Hon
ors as she entered.
| "Dear child!"—clasping the girl
I closely—"this is on e of the loveli
est things I ever had done for me!
Yet it is an imposition upon your
kindness. There is nobody else out
side of my own family whom I would
want with me at this anxious time.
Are you sure," looking at Honora
keenly, "that you can be spared from
home? Mrs. Higgins and your sister
do not mind?"
"Mrs. Higgins was asleep and
Milly so tired that she went to bed !
las soon as X came out. She has had j
so little experience in trouble that
she felt unable of coming to you. !
Milly is very young for her age, you '
know," Honora added byway of ex- 1
planation.
Removing her hat and coat, she'
urged Mrs. Bruce to lie down on the
couch. Then, seating herself by the
anxious wife, she.held her hand and
talked soothingly and tactfully of
Arnold Bruce's illness.
"Now that he has really given up
and put himself in the hands of a
doctor and nurse, he must get better,"
she ventured. "I always feel one is
much safer when he actually gives
in to an illness and submits to being
nursed back to health."
A Comforting Chat ■
"Sinc e you have come," Mrs. Bruce |
confessed at the end of an hour, "I I
feel less frightened about Arnold. I
Arthur knows nothing of sickness, and '
I had nobody here who had had ex- j
perience along such ' lines—except the i
nurse, of course. And she would ;
only say what the doctor allowed her i
to say. Nurses are all alike in that j
way, you know."
Honora did not think it wise to
inform the wife that she herself was
almost as ignorant with regard to j
Illness as Arthur was. Her reassur-I
ing remarkjs were not the outcome
of experience, but the result of her j
ability to put herself in imagination i
in another person's place.
It was past midnight when Mrs. j
Bruce consented to go to bed.
"You must let me lend you a night- |
gown, and then you must go into 1
the guest room and get a good night's !
sleep,' the matron said.
Yet even as she spoke, Honora saw
the- look of anxiety and fear creep
ing info the tired eyes. This woman
should not be left alone with her
thoughts.
"Would it make you nervous if, j
instead of thaf, I borrow a wrapper
from vou and lie here on the couch?" I
the girl suggested.
The smile that illumined the oldel-1
woman's Dale features showed that i
Honora had been right in her sus- !
picions.
"Oh, , how lovely! Are you sure \
that you would not mind—that you j
would be comfortable?" Mrs. Bruce
asked.
"Absolutely sure," the girl declared.
I "I would love to be right here near
you."
I She had donned u blanket-robe
J many sizes too large for her when,
j tl>< re sounded a tup at the door.
, "Come in!" Mrs. Bruce called, and
| Arthur entered, and, bending over
i his mother, kissed her good-night. |
"Good-night!" lie said as he passed j
Honota. Then, with a smile, "You |
j look quite swallowed up in that big j
I wrapper of mother's."
| "Perhaps I do. but it is dcliciously !
I warm and comfy." Honora smiled i
' back.
j Th 0 man spoke softly. "I shall
bo in the library if I am needed."
!he said. "1 am not going to bed to- i
night, but will bo on the lounge in
the library, so you can get me in a
minute, in case anything happens."
