The events of the evening before were over and done with, ai far as he was concerned, and his attention was focussed on the day ahead. But that night seemed to spread its shadow over my whole day. I snapped at Ncal when he phoned as he promised, but refused to meet me or give me his address. The ef fects of snapping were plain when Neal cried: "Look here Babbs—if you're going to nag, I won't 'phone you at all." Then he rang off, and I was left to wonder if I must pursue Kvvy again in order to get some word of my brother. Later in the morning, when Vir ginia went with me to Tom Mason s studio to select the furnishings for our new apartment, I forgot to thank him for the red roses that hail greet ed us at the Walgrave. When Vir ginia was across the studio studying some Egyptian lamps, he whispered meaningly: "You got my roses? Red roses for—the woman the white lilac lady might be." "I got them." I said coldly. "I understand your not mention ing them." Tom glanced toward Virginia. "I wish I could jnake every place you go fragrant with roses"— "Stop!" X gasped. "Don't! I shouldn't be here selecting our decorations ex cept for James's faith in you. He's your friend. Remember that." "And I am YOUR friend. Remem ber that. Don't act as if it were a crime for a man to want to serve you. I didn't chose to —like you. I Just happened to whether I choose or not. And I can no more help longing to see you happy than I can help loving the sunshine and blue sky. There isn't much happi ness in the world, but I'd like to buy it all and give it to you. Donna Anna." Again there were harsh words on my lips. I was on the verge of repeating the words I had said that night in Chinatown: "You are a cad, and I know it now—know it for all time." But Virginia's return stopped me, and afterwards I was glad that I had not snapped at Tom Mason also in my tiredness and reawak ened dread of Jim's gambling. Half-heartedly I listened while Tom and Virginia discussed the rival merits of English and Italian period furniture. This was my home they were planning, but I was so tired that I found no joy in ancient robes and rare tapestries. I didn't care what went into my home, so only I got out of Tom Mason's stu dio. This wasn't 'nest building.' Jim ought to be with me. "All right. We'll do the walls in biscuit, and have biscuit or black Every slice firm in Gunzenhauser's HOMAID BREAD VOU can easily see why every woman who once serves this wonderful bread is gratified day after day to find its quality uniform and its texture firm.

I have to get over to the apartment," I cried at last. And so I escaped and left Virginia to help "work out the details" whicli were later to be submitted to Jim. Then I rushed out to the apart ment, where Mrs. O'Callaghan was deep in her cleaning. And I began unpacking the trunks and boxes we had brought with us from Tom Ma son's studio. My mind was in a turmoil. Why did Tom Mason act as if 1 needed his friendship? The very assumption seemed as disloyal to Jim as the compliments Tom in sisted on paying me. "I'll only see him when I abso lutely can't help it." I told myself emphatically. "lie bothers me. We'll get the house done and then I can cut myself off from him. Thank goodness we aren't living in his apartment any more—and I don't have to be haunted by him and that blue robe of his all the time. I've left that behind, and I can leave him behind, too. Getting rid of the robe is a sort of a sym bol." ' I lifted the top tray off an old packing trunk. There—winging up at me maliciously, lay the robe. Its blue and grays shimmered and shone. And for the first time, there in the garish daylight of our many windowed, uncurtained livingroom, high up over the road, I noticed that as those blues and greens melted into each other they traced a faint pattern like peacock feathers. "Bad luck!" 1 cried, and shivered a bit. "Oh, Jim—Jim, how could you pack this up and bring it along? How could you?" Then our untried phone rang for the first time. I rushed over and lifted it from the floor. "Hello—that you, Anne?" Jim's voice was irritable and weary. "I'm in the deuce of a hurry. Cosby just phoned from the station, from where he's dashing up-State, that his wife telegraphed she'd arrive to-morrow afternoon. He wants to give her a little welcome home dance at Car lier's —fancy dress —swell. Get 'em to turn the place loose for Saturday night. Expense no object. Cosby's given me a list of the people he wants her to meet, so I'll bring home the invitations to-night and we'll fill in the names. Now, forget to be a miser and do this right. For once in your life help me in business—Cosby means money to me. See you at 7. S'long." Instinctively, the moment Jim rang off I hurried to the big pack ing trunk, lifted out the blue robe and let its shimmering length fall across my throat and arms to the floor. I had meant to leave the robe behind us, but Jim had brought it along. Why shouldn't I wear it to Valcrio Cosby's dance? To Be Continued.

THE HEART BREAKER A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY By VIRGINIA TKRHUN K VAN DE WATER BY VIRGINIA TERHCNE VAN IIE WATER CHAPTER LXWI. As the two sisters left the break fast table the following morning the postman's whistle sounded, and Ho nora went to the front door to take the mail from him. There was one letter for Mrs. Hig gins and one for Honora. This last was addressed in Arthur Bruce's handwriting. Instinctively the recip ient turned the address down before anyone else could see it. At that instant the telephone bell rang, and Mildred answered it. From her tone her sister was aware that she was receiving some communica tion that pleased her. "Yes, this is Mildred. Oh, good morning! Oh, thank you Mrs. Hil ton. You are very kind! I shall be delighted to come. You are very good to think of such an insignifi cant small person as myself." What pretty manners Milly had when she wanted to make a pleas ant impression, Honora inused. Peo ple could not help liking her. Even her employer, seeing her day in and day out, thought that sbe was a warm-hearted, well-bred little crea ture—while his wife was ready to make quite a pet of the child. Her bearing and her face would win her friends anywhere—always suppos ing she thought them worth win ning. When ghe hung up the receiver Mildred came forward, her face wreathed in smiles. "Isn't this good luck!" she exclaim ed. "Mrs. Hilton has aslted me to come there to a quiet family dinner to-night at 7 o'clock. Just the four of us —herself and Mr. Hilton, Har old Hilton and me." "That's lovely," Honora comment ed. "I am sure you will have a de lightful evening." "I am sure I will, too. Anyone will have a good time when Harold Hilton's around. I don't believe his wound has changed him much." "I hope not," Honora rejoined. She did not know just what to say. Yes. she was glad that Mildred was so happy. A New hove "Well," the younger girl continued with a giggle of gratified vanity, "when I thanked Mrs. Hilton for in viting such an insignificant small person as myself, she said that not only did she and lie r husband want me, but that there was a certain young man who was looking forward eagerly to meeting me again.

"She certainly is—lots nicer than Mrs. Bruce ever could be. Now, one would not mind being in the Hilton family—but to have Airs. Bruce as an In-law of any kind would be more than 1 could stand. Not"—she added as she saw a change come over her sister's face—"that I am counting on being Mrs. Hilton's niece-in-law. I only happened to think of her In that connection." "It would be rather early to antic ipate that kind of thine." Honora commented drily. She wanted to read the letter that she still held closely in her hand, but Mildred followed her up to her room. "It is time we were getting off to work," the younger girl said. "But I want you to tell what to wear to the Hilton's to-night. I want to look my best, you know." "Yes, but you do not want to be overdressed for a quiet home din ner," Honora reminded her. "Why not put on that pretty light-gray and silver frock? That has long sleeves, and yet it is open at the throat, and is very becoming." "All right; I guess that will be just about the right thing." the other acquiesced. Going to her bureau, she laid out a pair of silk stockings to match her gray gown. "You will have time to do all that this afternoon," her sister suggested. As she saw that Mildred was de termined to take her time about the proceeding, she put on her own hat and coat and hurried from the house. A Note From Arthur But she had to defer the reading of her letter until she reached the office. For she had not gone a half block before she heard Mildred run ning to overtake her. "Why didn't you wait for me?" the latter chided. "I hate walking down alone." She fell into step with Honora, and did not stop chattering until she parted from her at the door of the building in which were Mr. Pear son's offices. And the subject of the entire dis course was Harold Hilton. It was evident that he occupied all of Mil dred's horizon this morning. Arthur Bruce's note to Honora was brief. It reminded her that he must leave for camp before long and asked her to give him the opportunity of call ing on her as soon as possible. "I want to see you," he wrote. "When can we have an uninterrupted talk?" Honora remembered with gratitude that Mildred was to be away from home this evening. She was glad not to have to resort to any planning or subterfuge to have an interview with Arthur. In the few minutes in which she waited for the arrival of her em ployer she wrote a hasty note and 1 Daily Dot Puzzle .33 • A A 43 • 45 _ 35 • • •*© /~ •" •... - •4i 37 . y. 3° ZJ* : 4 °y • -7 58 • ...

They simply said that the writer would be at home this evening and glad to receive her possible call er at 8 o'clock. Then she went about her work, trying not to be too glad that each hour that passed brought the eve ning—and her visitor —nearer. (To be Continued.)

Miners Awarded Back Pay Due Since 1917 Ha/.leton, Pa., May 3.—Under a decision handed down to-night by Charles P. Neill, of Washington, um pire of the Anthracite Conciliation "Watchful Waiting A Bad Coal Policy Should coal consumers adopt "a waiting for a more favorable time" attitude, and not buy coal in sum mer, there will be a repetition of the coal famine of 1917. Let us not forget the suffering and worry and sick ness that came down upon many Harrisburg families two winters ago, when everybody wanted coal at once and would have paid any price to get it. Don't wait and get caught in the fall and winter tl coal rush." If you wait till fall or winter, you will have to pay higher prices, but, what is worse, you may not be able to get coal at all when you need it most. The quality of the coal shipped in summer is so much better than you get in winter that it is worth your while to fill your bins, even should there be no advance In price. However,, prices will advance at least 50c per ton during the summer. United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowden Sts. 15th & Chestnut Sts. 6t.h near Hamilton St. 7th & Woodbine Sts. 7th & Reily Sts.
