I asked haiahly. "Or do you like me peep ing up under my eyelashes better | than getting situations under my thumb?" "I like you any old way—even sitting and watching mo like a cat at a mouse-hole when I play cards," declared Jim, smoothing out a frown that came momentarily between his brows. "You're the cat at the mouse • hole when you croucfc over the \ cards as if you wer* going to pounce down on the revme and shake the life out of it," I said g!roping my way to a serious thought through words that sounded light. I wanted to cry "Oh. Jimmle, Jlmmie, dear, it breaks my heart every time I glimpse the hold gambling has on you! It frightens me. It seems'to threaten ottr whole life. You dorft look sane when you play cards or bet on the races or shake dice." But before I could find the cour tage to put this into words, Jim returned to tho idea which tho day's occurrences had made para mount with him. , "Annie.

And without the least ef fort you made the other girls look like scrubs. I'm proud of my wife I and Mho way she Just naturally is j head of the class these days." "Do go on being proud of me, ! Jlmmie, I'm trying so hard to meas ure up." I confessed. "Every time we've ever drifted apart. It's been because I'm not quite a thoroughbred and haven't always sense enough to act like one. Now I guess I give a fair imitation. It j may be real some day." Jim laughed tenderly and caught ; me to him. j ' "You little brick!" he said. "You dear, funny, solemn little brick— I trying so hard to live up to your ! own ideals that you don't stop to j consider whether or no I've fallen i below them this day." "I'm not thinking about what I ask of you these days but of what I demand of me," I explained, thinking aloud. "Maybe that's why we are as happy these days as we expected to be when we wore honeymooning," replied Jim. "I ask a few things of myself though it's darn dtf i tlcAlt for mo to stand oft nnd look ! at James and do this introspective | stuff you women are so good at. | Tint faults and all, you love me, ! don't you. girl?" I "You're .my man. You've never stopped being. I think you never can," I said clinging close. Jim held me so for a moment Then he said abruptly: Don't you mean to interview me —ask me what Ewy was doing in my office, I mean?" "Why should I?" I asked, formu lating my words painfully. "I've talked a lot. about the freedom of the individual. And I believe in it.

Then he went on in a voice so deep and caressing that I forgot all about Ewy. "Jove! Sweetheart, but it's wonderful to know you love me—like this. Some smart aleck author once wrote about a woman who never let her husband be quite sure of her up to her dy ing day, and he made out. that was how she held him. Not for Jimmie. I didn't marry you to have you freeze me or deliver lectures on women's rights. I married you be cause I wanted you and your love." "You have it," I -whispered. In that moment it seemed I had come to the land of perfect hap piness. I forgot all problems and worries—even the menace-I know Jim's love for gambling must be. And so when the next day brought me an old problem, rejuv enated and made brand new, I felt as astonished as a kitten when the ball with which it is playing l comes bounding back and raps it smartly upon the nose. It was my day for the last shift at the canteen, and so when Lane Cosby 'phoned at breakfast time to invite Jim to join him and his oil men at dinner, of course I made my boy accept. "If Val will wait for late dinner, she and Anne might be together," suggested Jim, turning to me for the acquiescence he didn't guess I was loath to give. In a second 1 knew I was saved, for he went on evidently in reply to what Lane Cosby had said. "Of course it's all right if Val has made other plans. Anne has plenty of friends at the canteen. She'll run over to Ithe Clinsarge with them as per usual." This fitted in like the pieces of a picture puzzle with what happened when I got to the canteen a bit later than usual. Carlotta Sturges hurried over balancing a loaded tray and flung a sentence or two at me: "That splendid Mr. Norreys was in. Left this envelope for you. I know that it is all right, but I'll respect Santa Claus's Incognito and keep mum. He's coming round at eight-thirty to take us to din ner." The envelope contained Tony'a anonymous contribution for the feeding of needy lads. Since Bet ty's absence "he has been in the habit of bringing it to mo himself. Our friendship has come to be a verv real thing. It is as sane and simple, as kindly and understand ing as Betty's own friendship and has come to be part of my life, like my fondness for Betty's hus band or my respect for Father An drew's wisdom. Something in Tony's big simplicity and honesty reminds mo of Father Andrew. For all that he is a cultured English aristocrat, Tony has much in com mon with my dear simple old stop father product of village and farm. _ And yet Jim dislikes Tony, re sents him, "was once jealous of him. The beginning of my greatest es trangement from my boy comes be cause T would not permit Jim to "forbid" me to be friends with An thony Norreys.

Copyright, 1919, Star Company Had Desiree Leighton understood the cause of her maid's indifferent manner, she might not have felt so much at peace about No rah and Smith. , That the chauffeur had been there and she had not been aware of it was the maid's chief concern at this moment. She was going to write a little note to Smith and wanted to get it to him. She was wondering if she would have had an oppor tunity to do this had she known ho was here. She wished she knew where he lived, for then she could send him a line by mail. But she did not know his address. It was not easy to have a word alone with him when 1 he brought the car to the door. Miss Leighton was growing dis agreeably suspicious. To disarm that suspicion, Norah was going to give her note to Annie to deliver, to Smith, unseen by Mr. or Miss Heighten. The chamber maid was not pretty—but she was very good-natured. Moreover, she had a wholesome fear of Norah's temper. So she had promised to bo Cupid's messenger. "I'm goin' to accept Smith's invi- | tation to go to the movies," Norah had told the credulous girl, "and perhaps he'll take you, too. I'll suggest it to him—if you see that ho gets my letter." After Miss Leighton had again started from the house this after noon, Norah repeated her instruc tions to Annie. "You listen for the boss's key in the latch," she directed. "And when | you hear it, you just slip out of the basement door and lay the letter on the seat of the car, then run back into the house. Do it quick and nobody will see you." Rather Amusing "All right," Annie assented with a grin. She found the whole affair rather interesting and amusing. She had no beau of her own. She would rather share one with Norah than to have'no fun at all. Mr. Leighton's chauffeur drove his master up to the house at a quarter of six—while Norah was writing the missive she had plan ned. She had only time to finish the letter hastily, then thrust it unvelopcd. into Annie's hand. She furned down the corners of the i folded sheet so that it would not blow open. She must act quick ly if the letter were to reach its destination before the chauffeur re turned to his car. "Shall 1 come to-morrow morn ing to take you to the office, sir?" I David questioned as his employer started up the front,steps. Samuel Leighton hesitated. "T DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS J f £BB3 A PRACTICAL, COMFORTABLE SUIT FOR THE SMALL BOY* 2883.

Come to the door while I ask her." As employer and employe went into the house together a girl ran out of the basement, laid something on the car seat, then raai back into j the house. Neither man had seen ' her. "Desiree!" Samuel Leighton called as he opened the front door. "Miss Leighton is out, sir," Norah said, hurrying up from bclowstairs. "You don't know her plans for to-morrow?" the master asked. "No, sir I do not," the girl said respectfully, with a glance from under her lashes at the man stand ing in the vestibule. "I'll telephone you later, Smith," Mr. Leighton said. "Don't wait." "Very well, sir, Good-night!" David closed the door behind him quickly and hurried down the front steps. He did not want to give Norah any opportunity to 6peak to him. As he crossed the sidewalk he! recognized a slender form walking briskly. "Oh, Smith!" Desiree said as she ! reached him, "I want to thank you 1 again for your thoughtfulness in ' bringing me my pendant as soon as j you found it. 1 was so much astounded at seeing it that I am ] afraid 1 did not tell you how much I I appreciated your act. I might j have missed the lovely thing and : would have been frightfully wor- i ried if I had not known where I I had lost It." No Word of Reproof The chauffeur had removed his j hat as soon as she spoke to him. He kept forgetting that most chauffeurs do not stand out of doors with uncovered heads while their employers are talking with them. If Desiree noticed this, shout- I tered no word of reproof. "I am glad, miss, if I spared you ; any worry," the man said, his eyes ; fixed on her face. "It would have | been inexcusably neglectful on my i part if I had not returned your I property to you immediately." Desiree laughed nervously. "Well • —perhaps—yet many a person might not have been so considerate as you were. 1 appreciate it all the more because it was a gift to me—l mean it belonged to—to —some one whom I lo—l mean it belonged to someone who was very kind to me and who is dead now." David's eyes grew soft —yet he felt .suddenly very bold with a boldness that was almost reckless. "Someone who loved you very much," he said. The words were not an Interro gation, yet they were hardly an assertion. It was almost as If the speaker were thinking his thoughts aloud. •"Why, yes," Desiree admitted slowly, "perhaps she did." For the instant this man seemed like one of her own circle. And as David DoLaine appreciat ed this he knew that he must not trust himself longer. "Good miss," he said, reassuming his chauffeur manner and turning toward the ear. The rug that Mr. Leighton had thrown from his kne<# on alight ing was on the seat, and the chauf feur took it up and folded it. A paper lying on the cushion flut tered to the_ground. Tho man did not see where it came from. He only saw It fall. Picking it up, he held It toward Desiree. "Pardon me—T think you dropped this," ho said. "No," she told him. "I did not. My father may have dropped it. I will give it to him. Good-night!" And, with Norah's letter 1n her hand, she went into the house.
