CHAPTER CXCVII.
After all, we might have known
we could count on Betty.
WTien the doctor had removed
the cast and the arm had been
bathed and massaged, he reached
out to put it into the soft swathing
of bandages that was to protect it
for a time.
"Oh, first —let me comb my own
hair just for once," begged Betty.
And quickljf, before any on/} could
stop her, she reached out toward
the little dressing table so near
where she sat. Her arm obeyed her,
lifted from the shoulder, and then
fell—impotent of elbow, wrist and
hand. She turned a white face
toward the doctor.
"It —wont—work!" gasped Betty.
"Uf course not, not just at first,"
temporized Dr. Lucas, the puritani
cally honest, forgetting his cold
Puritanism in the healer's desire to
be merciful.
But Betty was not to be put off.
"Will it ever work?" she asked.
"Perhaps—if you help us—-by be
lieving and being cheerful."
Betty stared at her own hand,
white, taper-lingered. Then she
took it in the. warmth of her left i
hand and lifted it and let it fall |
again.
"Terry," she asked, "Did you I
know?"
"From the beginning," he lied
quickly and bravely. "You have one
good chance, dear, but with never |
a chance in the world, you'd always
be my Betty."
Then Betty threw "nor head proud
ly and laughed a laugh as brave
as Terry's lie:
"Think of forcing an Englishman
to ray pretty things to ins wife—
pubiicly," she said. "Well, it there's
a chance I'm going xo fight for it.
Good old Tony—so that s why he's j
coming. Poor old Tony—he never
lino a chance! His hand—Just—
went —well, he shan't see mo wldm
pei. That would be asking him to
bear too much."
That was how Betty took it
wiihout a whimper. V> lien Anthony
Norreys came the was as brave an:l !
cheery as be had alw ys been. J !
Irr.k I shall always remember the
hours we font had together—tbev j
weie so sturilv and so sweet. Per- j
haps if Tony needed any help to en- j
able him to carry on, Betty's unex
pected serenity gave it to him. And
in the way Tony fa cod life and
managed for himself without a ves- |
tige of self-pity Betty must have
found a store of inspiration and ]
strength.
Wo had an early supper and when I
my train time came Tony offered I
to take me to the station.
"Oh, no, I'll take her," said Terry.

light hour alone with the groom."
suggested Tony.
Uf course at that I couldn't pro
test. Kven though I Knew Jini
would be absurd enough to object
to Anthony Norreys' driving me
down to the station, still the fact
that Betty had not been allowed a
second alone with her Terry since
taking up her cross outweighed
everything else.
So there was a little breath-tak
ing farewell, and then Tony drove
me down to Greyfriars Station. And.
suddenly, as the car swung over the
country roads, 1 remembered the
overnight bag I had brought along
—(he tell-tale bag that I must re
trieve from the check-room. I
wondered how much it would tell
Anthony Norreys of my original
plans to remain with Betty and
my later determination to run away.
But whatever Tony surmised, lie I
said nothing. He lemained instead!
on the surface of things, not even
daring to go too deeply into a dis
cussion of Betty's suffering. So our
good-by was almost formal. That
seemed odd. It hurt a little, too. j
Thinking about Betty and Tony
and the way I had run away from
him, kept my mind whirling all the
way to the city. And then with a
jar like the sudden grinding of the
train's airbrakes, my mind came to
a full stop and then dashed on
again.
This was the night of our dinner
artd theater party, and I had for
gotten all about it.
Of course 1 might still taxi to the
Walgrave, dress and join the party
at the theater. But I was in no
mood for that. Besides, it was pos
sible that Jim and Virginia had
asked someone else to fill my place.
My coming to the theater might be
decidedly awkward. Best from
every point of view to stay in the
Walgrave.
So once I arrived at our rooms. I
flung off my clothes, had a hot
bath and then—getting into a negli
gee—carried out a soft down puff
to the living room and arranged
myself on the big diyan there. I'd
rest until Jim returned.
Far too excited to sleep, I lay on 1
the couch mulling over the events
of the day. The outstanding thing
to my way of thinking was this:
Terry had understood my keeping
him in the dark about Betty's prob
able fate, but at her question he
had plunged in with the assurance
that he'd known from the first. I
felt it was right for him to do that.
Did he feel equally satisfied about
the righteousness of what I had l
done?
I couldn't answer that. And fail- j
ing to answer it, I couldn't find
peace of mind. Deep down in my

Tightness of what I had done?
In the midst of my squirrel-in-a
cage reflections I heard Jim's key
in the door. I leaped from the couch
to greet him. He came in with an
air of great alertness, humming.
At sight of me his face changed,
darkened.
"What the dickens are you doing

Advice to the Lovelorn
Could Not Count on Him as a Friend
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Have been going about with a
(young man for the past two years,
j I love him dearly and am more than
sure my love is returned. About
six months ago he began to study
and then he wrote me saying he
could not see me for a while, but I
could still count on him as a friend.
I did not hear from him after this
and was very miserable.
Last week I received a letter stat
ling that he wanted to see me at a
certain place. When I got there I
was informed that he was ill. I
wrote to him asking him to let me
know how he was getting along, but
he has not answered. 1 do not know
whether he is still ill, and I don't
want to give him the satisfaction of
writing. ANXIOUS.
It would seem to an impartial on
looker that the young man. unless he
I were prevented by grave illness from
keeping the appointment, has not
treated you very well. He was at
tentive to you for two years, then
made the excuse that his studies
"would prevent him from seeing you,
but he hoped to keep you as a
friend." This is the language, from
time immortal, employed by men
when they are trying to slip out of
an affair gracefully. I should try
to forget him, if possible.
In Love With a Chauffeur
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am deeply in love with one of
my father's chauffeur's, who asked
tne to marry him, and I feel that I
could give up all at home to live with
him. My people would be very
angry. What must I do?
WILLING.
The history of such marriages is
not a happy one: there has been
quite a number of them, and nearly
all end disastrously. You may feel
now that you "could give up all" to
marry the chauffeur: but you would
undoubtedly miss the comforts to
which you have been accustomed,
and the notoriety would be very
hard to bear, particularly if you are
sensitive. Let me beg of you not to
marry this young man secretly; if
you are bent on doing it take some
one into your confidence.
LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW
I have received this week an ap
peal which I cannot ignore and which
1 do not find it in Jf\y heart to leave
unanswered. It is embodied in the
following letter;
"My Dear Mrs. Woodrow I am
very much undecided as to whether
you will give me any consideration.
Perhaps you will read my letter and
tear it up or pronounce me worth
less.
"But, dear Mrs. Woodrow, you are
the only one to whom 1 can turn, and
if there is any one in the wide world
who needs help it is I, for I have
come to the world's end and am
clinging to its edges.
"I am eighteen years old, and the
phrase, 'a woman with a past,' tits
me. Within the last year 1 have
met a man whom I love with all my
heart and who loves me dearly. t
am said to be beautiful, I know how
to dress and I have many admirers,
but all that means nothing to me.
There is just one thing 1 want with
all my soul —a home, a husband and
children. But 1 pm afraid to marry
him - T
"If I tell him about my life I
am afraid he may not forgive me;
and if I do not. it is pretty sure
that some one else will. I have wor
ried so over this that I have become
ill. I have lost thirteen pounds in
one week, and I cannot eat.
"Perhaps there is no way of my
ever being happy; perhaps I must
suffer still more than I have. But
the suffering won't be long. Please
don't refuse to answer this letter.
"A SINNER."
Only eighteen, and she has come
tp the world's end. And out of the
whole world she has only a writer
in a newspaper to whom she can
turn. What are all the sermons in
the world beside that single state
ment?
My dear girl, not knowing either
you or the man in question, I can
not advise you as to what you should
do. I can only treat the matter
from an abstract standpoint and quite
impersonally.
I went to the movies not long ago.

and saw a play In which the heroine
who had led an irregular life turned
from it and made good in some oc
cupation. She married without tell
ing her husband of her past life.
Later he discovered it, and there
was the usual melodramatic scene.
He accused and she crumpled at his
feet, crawling around on the floor
and begging to be forgiven.
The other man appeared, and there
ensued a brutal fight. The woman
is wounded in trying to save her hus
band, and he lifts her in his arms,
vowing that he loves her only and
will consent magnanimously to for
get the past.
I suffered such an attack of men
tal nausea that I got up and left
the theater. It was, however, prob
ably regarding as a satisfactory end
ing. How can there be a satisfactory
ending when there is not a satisfac
tory beginning? And why this hu
miliating degradation of the women?
Suppose that the heroine had stol
en a few articles in her life, but
had repented and stolen no more.
Suppose, then, she marries a thief.
He discovers her former pilfering,
claps his hand to his brow and ex
claims: "1 thought I had married
an honest woman!"—it wouldn't get
over. The audience would laugh it
off the screen.
There are ten commandments which
from the beginning of the world, even
before they were written on stone
tablets, have been graven on the
heart of man. And of each of the
terrible "Thou-shalt-nota" no one
takes any precedence over the other.
It degrades a whole sex—no, it
degrades both sexes—when an iron
tradition recognizes only one sin in
a woman as unpardonable; and a
man does not hesitate to marry a
woman who confesses; "I lied. I
stole, I coveted, I saw harsh and
unjust false witness, I was cruel to
little children.'"
The whole trend of our civiliza
tion to-day is toward equality; work,
equality in legislation. U is inevi

follow; and for the pot, simply be

Nature's Safe Blood Treatment
Known for 50 Years as the Best

Diseases
Scientists have discovered that the
forest and the field, are abundantly
supplied with vegetation of various
kinds, that furnish the Ingredients
for making a remedy, for practi
cally every lit and aliment of man
kind. Medicines made from roots,
herbs, and barks which Nature has
placed ut the disposal of man, are
better than strong nuneral mixtures
and concoctions. Mineral medicines
work dangerously on the delicate
parts of the system, especially the
stomach and bowels, by eating out
woman, black is an illogical absurd
ity.
There has never been a religion !
which does not teach the forgiveness i
and remission of sins. "Repent, and
ye shall be saved." "So far as the '
east is from the west, so far have j
1 removed thy transgressions from
thee." "Though, thy sins be as ,
scarlet, they shall be white as snow." J
1 could quote the same statements j
from the sacred books of all races. j
Every sin is sure of its punish- j
ment; that is the law of Karma. !
or cause and effect. But in a world
where so many get away with mur- j
der, why should we find it necessary ;
every now and then to advertise our
own spotlessness by drawing our
starched skirts aside from some poor
wretch who has climbed out of the
darkness of the pit, and is clinging!
to the "world's edges" with her bleed- ;
ing hands?
If we are truly the pure in heart j
we do not go about looking for im
purity in others. If we arc really
good, we see In others the angel that
lives in us all.
If in weakness and abasement and
remorse we may not turn to some
heart, secure that we shall find the
love that hopeth all things, believeth
all things, forgiveth all things, then
that heart is less than ours, for we
have believed, in it and it has failed
us.
