I repeated, staring back at Phoebe and beginning to feel as frightened as she looked. Her lips parted and shaped them selves to speak, but I had to read what they said since I couldn't hear a syllable. Incredulously, with a question after them. I repeated the words my eyes had read from her lips: "It's twice that much? You say you need twice that much?" Phoebe looked down at her twist ing hands. Her long lashos lay fluttering against her cheek, and after a moment a tear or two crept down and made a salt track to her trembling mouth. She got out her little handkerchief and dabbed fur tively at her yes. Then she seized the glass of ice water and began to drink ferverishly. Finally, with her shoulders hunched forward deject edly. she whispered: "What do you think of me. Anne? Whatever you think, please stand by me. I'm so tired—and scared—l can't go through this alone. And I can't bother Virginia. She has enough to make her unhappy. "Will you stand by me. Anne?" "Whatever it is, Phoebe, I will stand by. And I'll see you through, too. I promise." I said quietly. Phoebe seemed to realize that I was making a vow. She smiled at me mistily, but with some of the dear simplicity of the Phoebe who had come to the city at the close of my honeymoon days. Becauso she looked so like a little girl, the dear little girl who had loved Neal, I knew that, no matter what the cost, I was going to try to save Phoebe from her debts and her fear. "If you trust me. Phoebe —and will tell me the story from the be ginning, I'm sure we'll find a way out." I said. "I'll tell you," she gasped.

Dultield stared at Desiree, amazed at her Hashing eyes. Perhaps, she reflected, Desiree was never quite as pretty as when she was angry. Her dark beauty was enhanced by the vivid pink in her cheeks, and her brown eyes seemed actually to snap. She was like her mother when she was young. But why was the child so indignant now '.' "What did Air. Jefferson say?" Airs. DufHeld insisted. "You were very nearly rude to him, my dear —• shutting the door almost in his face not even waiting for £mith to close it." "1 don't care!" Desiree exclaimed. "It is none of his business who or what my chauffeur is! I wish people would not ask impertinent " 1 She stopped abruptly, aware that David was standing at the car door, awaiting her orders. "Where now, please, miss?" he inquired, touching his cap. "Oh —I—Aunt Sylvia, is there any where you want to go now?" she stammered. "Why, my dear," her aunt re minded her, "we planned to go to Mrs. Hobart's tea. didn't we?" "Of course! How stupid of me! Drive to Airs. Hobart's, Smith. Wait while I see what the address is," fumbling through her card-case. When she had found the addrers, she gave it quickly, and. as she did so, she looked into her chauffeur's j face. Did she only fancy that she saw an appeal in his eyes, as if he were asking her pardon? A Bit of Curiosity "Well," Mrs. Duffield repeated when the car was again threading its way up Fifth avenue, "what did Mr. Jefferson say? And, by the way, I am afraid David overheard your remark about him just now —I mean you remark about it's being nobody's business who your chauffeur is. He. was standing right by the door, and the window was open all the time." "Yes, —so I saw when it was too late. But never mind. He knows his place too well to let me suspect he overhead anything. "You want to know what Mr. Jefferson said that vexed me so much? Well, he asked me how it happened,—or as good as asked me how it happened—that Smith was not in the service. The idea of his daring to ask that! He who ought to be in uniform himself!" "But, my dear, he is past the draft age. He must be past thirty live." "Draft age!" scoffed the girl. "If he is so keenly patriotic, he could get into the service even if he is a couple of years over age. Lots of men have done it. He is perfectly well and strong—yet he sneered at Smith because he is driving our car instead of fighting Germans'." "Well, honey," Mrs. Duflield ven tured timidly, "might you not think the same thing of a young man of whom you knew nothing? I under stand from what your father let drop that Smith was in the service—• although I know no particulars. So Ido not criticize him. But Ido not wonder that others do. It is a mis take, I believe, for Samuel to forbid anybody's mentioning the subject." "I do not agree with you," Desiree argued, forgetting entirely that she herself had considered the prohibi tion ridiculous. "It is nobody's business!" "There, there! I am surprised at your vehemence," the aunt soothed. "You take it too hard." The girl forced herself to laugh. "Yes, it Is ab-urd of me, isn't it?" she agreed. "I do not know why I should resent Mr. Jefferson's criti cism of an ordinary employe. I think it must have been his aggres sive manner that annoyed me." "Yes, and his assertion that Smith was Irish. I did not know it until then." Her companion made no reply, j She was remembering Jefferson's i comment on her chauffeur's brogue. Yet she had noticed that Smith had [ Southern intonations—very marked j at times. Had he assumed an Irish brogue for Jefferson's benefit? If so, why? At the Hobart home her thoughts turned into another channel; yet an ihour later, when she and Mrs. Duf ! field drove uptown, her mind ro j verted to Jefferson's remark. | Suddenly she was sure she under i stood Smith's ruse. As he was not jin uniform, he preferred that his questioner should consider him an Irishman rather than an American slacker. And, of course, he had overheard and resented Walter Jef ferson's unkind suggestions. She supposed that It was of these that he wished to speak, when, after leaving Mrs. Duflield at her home, and stopping at the Leighton house. David touched his hat as his young mistress alighted from the car. "Pardon me. Miss," he said, "but may I sneak with you for Just a mom ent?" "Yes, Smith." she assented. "But T do not want to stand out here. Sten into the house with me." When Norah had admitted her. and gone her wav after smiling covertly at David, Desiree turned to the man. "Well, what is it. Smith?" He was standing In front of her, his hat in his hand. The weather was so mild that he was not wear ing his overcoat, and she noticed j his excellent figure and correct car riage. "I simply want to tell you, Miss, i that 1 am sorry I aroused uncom fortable comment by assuming 1 mean, by talking like an Irishman. I did it because—" But she interrupted him. "I understand. Smith. Air. Leigh ton has warned me that we are not to mention the fact that you have ! been in the service. I am sure you | have your own reasons for this j preference. Perhaps, under the cir cumstances, it is only natural that you should not care to have people know of your past." (To Be Continued.) Life's Problems Are Discussed J By MRS. AYII.SON WOODROW I We are told in the greatest of all ' poems, that "to everything there is a ! season, and a time to every purpose '■ under the sun—a time to kill and a • time to heal; a time to break down! and a time to build up." i have lived through the terrible! Killing and breaking-down period, i and can now rejoice in this time for! healing and buildig up. But we can not merely sit down and rejoice; we have got to get busy. Our first duty is to supply jobs for the returning soldiers; and in the effort to do this women, as always, can play a big A government department created for the purpose of securing work for the discharged boys has started out on the policy of persuading people generally to 'spruce up." Now. here's an essentially feminine opportunity, and one which woman thoroughly understands. From he gining oi time she has wasted much of her energy in inducing man to spruce up. In a womanless world there would be neither tailors nor haberdashers, merely a few blanket-weavers in cold climates. So woman is now offered the chance of following her soul's inclination and doing a patriotic duty at the same time. Of course the house needs painting. It hasn't had a fresh coat since the war began. Also, the cellar needs to be cemented, and there's a lot of : carpenter work and repairing to be' done. Every room needs repapertng, and the woodwork is a sight. Don't waste your ingenuity and use up all the gray matter in your brain trying to make the od place look habitable. It needs to be gone over from top i to bottom. Go and tell the neighbors what you , are planning; stir up envy and emu lation among them, so that they will :go and do likewise. Swamp the con tractors with orders. When he hears of your intentions, your husband will probably draw down the corners of his mouth and say: "We won't do anything of the kind until things are in a more set tled condition," failing to see that this is the way to get them in a more set- I tied condition. j But you know how to manage him. IDo it now. Nagging or coaxing, i whichever method he responds to ! test. I Kemind him that everyone concedes i the country is on the verge of such I prosperity as has never been known, and that the psychological effects of having everything bright and new and spick and span about him will I probably increase his own sense of prosperity and thereby his earnig ca pacity. It was your patriotic duty to buy government bonds, and you did it. Now it is your patriotic duty to spend vour money. | This is the hour of the extravagant. Poor things, they go through life be !'ng scolded and repressed and moral ! ized ovei for their spendthrift ten jdeneies Now they can look down on , the thrifty and waste a little in order ! to maintain their country's honor. I The soldiers are returning to th'ir own beautiful, rich, sp'endid. gener ous country at the rate of one hun ; drrd thousand a month, and every jobless ex-soldier is a blot In our na 'tional scutcheon, a reflection upon our ; pride and patriotism, j It Is or.lv a vear ago that these men I who to-day rank among the best .fighters in the world were an un- I known quantity. If they had failed, I this country could never have held up its head again. We should have j been bowed in the dust with humilia- I But they covered themselves with ' r-Iorv: thev crowned America with new and fresh laurels. And now at the ptesent time Is our big chance to show our eternal gratitude. It is maudlin to sit and sigh because there are thousands of soldiers out of work. And shedding a few sent;- ! mental tears, or shaking your head and groaning over conditions lsn t go ling to help. __ The thing to do is get busy. We] 'can't race around and beg this per son or that to give jobs to the dis charged men, but we can help to ere- | ■ ate such a demand for labor that j i every man will find a place. I Therefore, spend your money like \ Water. Go into debt if necessary:, I you can pa 5! it later. But show that] the rame spirit that animated our | bovs when they turned back the Ger man tide last July lives in us to-day; and if it takes your last dollar, spend. Spruce up; Spend your money as they spent their blood —for the honor of America. NEW YORK CITV HAS LARGEST EOI R-DIAL CLOCK IN WORLD !
