I turned, clutching the black way
to my ear. In the door-receiver,
which Td lifted half way, s.oo-1 Jim.,
My hand tumbleu down at Ml *
From far away I heard a buzz ng
rasp over the telephone wires, w htch |
I knew must be -Number, please. r
"You've come back? I said, and
mv voice sounded far away, too. !
I lifted the receiver and stabbed j
at the hook, but it wouldn t go back j
at first. So 1 had to take my eves,
ofT Jim's face and gave my whole
attention to the matter of hanging
up the receiver. Probably not a
minute had passed since I started
to telephone Jim at the club and
beg him to come home. It seemed
hours, however. And though I had j
planned to be fluent enough over,
the wires, now that we were face to
face, 1 couldn't think of anything
to , . .. I
Jim was at home again, ana tne i
day he'd spent at the club didn't I
seem so dreadful. He'd often gone j
off on trips and styed longer. Per
haps he'd like it best if I didn't I
make a fuss —just acted as if he'd;
been on a business trip. I wanted!
to do the right thing. But what 11
was planning and striving to do i
didn't matter, for the truth burst out!
and got itself said:
"I'm so glad you're here, Jim," I j
said, trying to keep my voice low >
and controlled. "I was just going
to call the club and ask you to
come home."
"Don't make mc feel any more
like a brute than I do, Anne," Jim
muttered in a husky voice.
Then he took a great limping
stride across the room and gath
ered me into his arms. I snuggled
against his heart and clung to him.
It was I who had come home —to
Jim's arms.
For a minute or two we clung to j
each other, beyond the need of
words. Then Jim held me off at j
arm's length and stood looking
down at me with a queer expression
on his face. His eyes went over
my face questioningly and yet
caressingly.
"Anne," burst from him at last.
"You still love me?"
"I never stopped. Jim," I replied.
"You wonder-girl, you! My girl!"
cried Jim, gathering me to him
again.
I let htm have his way. What
did it matter that he had left me.
alone through a long night and a
day? He had come back. Later I
might question and wonder and
dread the coldness that always fol
lows so soon on Jim's tenderness,
but in this moment, when he seem
ed mine again, I didn't question
anything. I was too happy.
After a little while, Jim led me |
to the big chaise longue at the foot |
of my bed. He put me back among j
the pillows and sat near me with I
my hand in his. I wanted to draw !
him down and put my lips to his, j
but I didn't dare. I was afraid to ■
make a single move that might tear !
the gossamer of our happiness.
"Anne," said Jim. "Anne—this
seems like a miracle. To come back
and find you here after that j
dreadful night, after this night-!
mare of a day!"
I looked at Jim in amazement.
Had he suffered, too?
"Don't look at me like that!" he
cried. "As if you couldn't believe
me. as if you—didn't know me.
Anne. I missed you, I tell you—all
day long I wasn't good for a darn
thing. I found out I couldn't live
without you."
"But, Jim—l don't understand! |

THURSDAY hTVTENING,
You didn't have to go!" burst from
my lips before I had time to realize
that was just the wrong thing for
me to say.
Jim's hand tightened on mine.
He looked at me pleadingly and then
i he got to his feet and began fling
| ing himself up and down the room
| with long, limping strides that
| made my heart ache. After a min-
I ute or two he came back and stood .
j at my side.
"Can you forgive me?" he asked
; abruptly. "I was mad! I flung
! out of here—to think about other
! things, and all I could think about
was youj I wanted you every min
ute of the time I was gone. I
couldn't see Terry and Betty. If
West had come back 1 couldn't have
said a word to him after I'd waited
all day for him. I just sat in the
j office and hated myself and won
! dered—if you'd take me back after
I the way I cleared out and deserted
| you."
"Why, Jim. I never thought that
j you'd deserted me," I began, but
Jim went on:
"Some poet chap once wrote
I about every man killing the thing
;he loves. I thought I'd done that,
j I thought I'd killed your love, I've
| hurt you over and over. I don't
! know why, Anne. I've been a brute,
j But if you ever wanted to pay me
!up these last twenty-four hours
j ought to satisfy you."
" got up and went over to lay
my hand on his mouth.
"You shan't say such things
about the man I love. Jimmy! We
haven't had an easy time—getting
acquainted. But it's been my fault
—mostly. You married a "lilac
lady" and when she turned out to
be a managing female, of course,
you didn't like her. Maybe things
will be different now—that we un
derstand."
Jim laughed, straightening his
shoulders and drawing me to him
I again with hands that gripped until
| they hurt.
"Jove! It doesn't matter whether
we understand or not," he cried.
"Ive got you now and you'll never
get away. You didn't put me out of
your heart while we were pretend
ing to be pals and all the rest of the
darn nonsense. No other man took
you from me. * • •"
"Supposing one had?" I asked
with a flutter of coquetry.
Jim strained me against him with
arms that were like steel, and his
voice rang as he replied:
| "You're mine, Anne. You love me.
But even if you'd stopped, I'd have
made you come back to me. I'd have
gone after you and taken you from
the best man in the world. You're
mine twice as much mine as you
ever were before. Mine!"
Trembling in Jim's arms, aflame
with happiness, I tried to push awav
| the memories that crowded up to
j jeer:
"It won't last. Nothing does."
I I had Jim again. That was
j enough. Even if it were only for
; the moment, this moment was ours.

THE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XXII.
Had David DeLaine been in love
with Desiree's Maid as Samuel
Leighton had suggested— he could
hardly have been more perturbed in
mind than ho was as he drove the
car back to the garage after parting
from his employer.
He had escaped Miss Bristol's
recognition. But now that that dan
ger was past, David had time to re-
I fleet on the uncomfortable compli
j cations that had arisen through the
' methods he had used to avoid de
' tection.
In the first place he had in cur
red Mr. Leighton's displeasure. That
i was unfortunate, but not serious
j for courtesy and care in the future
! might obliterate the disagreeable
I impression produced upon the older
I man.
What troubled David more was
| that he had seemed to take Norah
i into his confidence and to receive a
favor from her—thus putting him to
I a certain extent under obligations
|to her. Since the girl had laid her
; self open to reproof by her desire to
keep him out of a scrape—it would
' be churlish to shun her in the fu
ture.
David was not vain, yet the most
| modest of men could not have failed
J to detect that the maid admired
him, or was trying to make him
like her. She had probably mistak
-1 en his polite speech, and regret at
J the reprimand she was likely to re
( celve, for a liking which he did not
! feel.
So Norah was a new complication
| just now.
But greater than the perplexity
! caused by both of these factors was
j his chagrin when he recalled that
I Desiree Leighton had seen him and
Norah standing close together on
the sidewalk, chatting confidentially.
The tone of Miss Leighton's voice
had attested to her strong disap
proval of the situation and to her
] suspicions that he and the maid
, were carrying on a clandestine af
fair. His blood boiled at the idea.
i Yet, he argued with himself, why
| should he have such a sensation of
mortification? He knew that his
j action had been entirely honorable.
' Cassidy, his predecessor, might have
flirted with or made love to any one
of the maids in the Leighton house
hold without transgressing some
law of propriety.
Not Very Soothing
I This reflection did not soothe Da
vid: for, even though he tried to
behave as if he were in the same
class as Cassidv. he could not forget
that he was not.
He. David DeLane. might have
been Desiree Leighton's suitor; and
she. who had been the friend and
guest of his aunt, now thought of
him as the lover of her maid.
That, he told himself fiercely, was
what rankled. Yet, why need he
care what Miss Leighton thought?
He was nothing to her nor she any
thing to him.
He reiterated that last part of this
assertion so often that, had he been
a psychologist, he might have doubt
ed his own belief in it. Too vehem
ent protestations may prove that
one is not quite sure of the truth
he professes.
So absorbed was David in self-ex
planations that he saw too late a
taxi-cab swing around the corner
just ahead of him. The driver
careless or drunk—swerved sudden
ly to one side, but not quickly
enough to avoid a collision with
the mud-guard of the Leighton lim-

j ousine. There was a severe impact,
j and the guard crumpled up like a
I bit of pasteboard. There was also a
• sound of glass crashing as the left
; hand headlight struck the cab.
There ensued some commotion
I and altercation. The cab-driver—
j whose fault the accident hari been—
j was loud in his imprecations. David
i was more quiet, and after giving his
j name and address to a policeman—
I who, however, exonerated him from
| blame—drove his car slowly to the
> garage.
"Another chanoc to get in wrong:"
|he mused gloomily. "This has sure
!ly been my unlucky night. And I
I am to call Miss Leighton up in the
j morning for orders. When 1 do I
! will have to inform her that the
I limousine is at the repair shop,
i Sweet for me!"
' He arose early next day and left
the limousine at the shop at which
; Mr. Eeighton had his repairs done.
. Then he returned to the garage to
I make sure that the smaller car—a
| handsome runabout—was all ready
! ror use. He had used this smaller
car on several occasions when he
j had driven his employer down to
to the office or had brought him
home. Miss Loighton had never
been in it since he had been driving
for her. But she must ride in it
to-day.
, He told her as much when he tele
i phoned at 9 oclock for his orders.
"I am sorry." he explained, "that
1 I had an accident last night with
the limousine."
"Oh!" she ejaculated impulsively,
"were you hurt? I mean" —correct-
ing herself quickly—"was much
damage done? And how did It hap
pen?"
"The car is not badly Injured." he
replied, ignoring her involuntary
inquiry about himself. "The mud
guard is bent, and the glass of one
of the lights is broken. It will be
in good condition again by night, so
it can be used to-morrow."
"How did the accident happen?"
He tried to tell her.
"But why did you not hear or see
the taxi sooner?" she interrupted.
"Why weren't you more careful?"
"I'm afraid," he confessed con
tritely," that my thoughts were wan
j dering. The street was almost emp
j ty. and I got to thinking—l was off
i my guard"
Again she interrupted. "I under-
I stand! I suppose I should not be
| surprised."
"I beg your pardon!" he ex
' claimed interrogatively, not compre
i hending.
| "Never mind!" she said brusquely.
! "I must go down town, so will have
jto use the runabout. I hate it. but
jit can't be helped. Be here at
eleven."

Dublin Developing
Stained Glass Industry
Dublin, June 26. Dublin has de
veloped greatly the stained glass art
industry and many churches which
used to get stained glass from
Munich now get it at home. The
reputation of Irish glass has been
grown and extended beyond the
borders of Ireland and windows have
been supplied not only to churches in
England but across the Atlantic.
A remarkable window has just
been on exhibition in Dublin. It is
the memorial which the Duke of Con
naught is putting up in Ottawa to
the memory of the eight members
of his Canadian staff who fell in the
war. The window was designed by
a young Belfast artist. Miss Geddes.

Clemenceau to Retire
Paris, June 26. —The statement
i made by Premier Clemenccau in the
1 Chamber of Deputies yesterday con

I number of newspapers as meaning
I that the Premier will not retire
j shortly, as had been reported.
Several newspapers print reports
! that there may be a shakeup in the
! Cabinet and that specialists in so
cial and economic questions will be
! brought in. The Echo de Paris says
that if changes are made in the

It is declared that as soon as the
Peace Treaty is signed the govern

Prince of Wales to
Get Own Residence
London. June 26. The Prince of
Wales is now 25 and King George
has decided that he should have his
own residence. York House, St.
James', the home of his boyhood days,
has been selected.
Except that it lacks a garden and
a garage, York House is regarded
as an admirable residence. Decora
tors are now preparing it for the
prince, ,who will move in in about a
j month. His household will not be
; large.
I York House formerly was the prop
i erty of the King of Hanover, who
i refused to let Queen Victoria have
| it. But after his death she was able
Ito offer it to the widowed Duchess
of Cambridge. Subsequently the
house was occupied by the Duke of
Clarence and the. present king and
queen. Its most recent occupants
have been the late Lord Kitchener
and Sir William Robertson.

Harrisburg One of
Eleven Cities High
in Building Operations
Wasliinton, June 26.—The e
--markable showing of several of the
smaller of the large cities in the
resumption of building activity is
one of the outstanding features of
the reports on building permits for
March and April received by the
United States Department of Labor.
In March, Hartford, Conn., reported
permits for buildings of an estimat
ed cost of $2,549,335, which gave it
third place for the month among
all the cities of the country. In the
same month Fort Worth, Tex., re
ported permits for buildings of an
estiated cost of $1,566,725, whichl
gave it seventh place. In April,'
Akron, Ohio, reported permits for
buildings of an estimated cost of
$2,590,775, which gave it fifth place
for the month.
Eleven cities reported an increase
of more than 400 per cent, in the
estimated costs of buildings covered
by permits for April, 1919, as com
pared with those of April, 1918.
They are Akron, Boston, Decatur,
Galveston, Harrisburg, Lansing,
Muskogee, Reading, Shreveport, To
