"Trying to be!" I amended.
"Did you have to try—very hard
/i to-night T* he asked anxiously. "You
handled everything perfectly—from
I the Mason cousins to the cutting in
and. out of the bridge game when
i the Cosbys arrived. I never saw
you so sure of yourself. Anne."
"Did it plraso you?" 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.

and shut you out of your promised
lesson, you've been a thoroughbred,
as I said before. You were smooth
as silk. 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.
What's more, I know you're mine

now. So I feel there was a per
fectly good reason for her being
there^ —business or something."
"Yes, that's it," replied Jim.
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.
Now Jim's love is mine again,
mine more completely and glori
ously than ever it has been be
fore! Bared I gamble with that?
T asked myself.
Tf I dined with Tony and Car
lotta —what then?

THE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CIIAFTER XXX.
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

don'i. know what Miss Leighton's
plans are, he said. 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.

Urges Irish Trade Be
Direct With the World
Dublin, July IB.—The Sinn Fein
party desires to establish Irish trade
direct with the nations of the world
without the intermediary of Eng
lish agents. It has been suggested
that Ireland should have separate
trade commissioners or consuls gen
eral in the principal trade centers
and capitals of the world.
To meet the obvious difficulties
of starting and llnancing such a
scheme Professor John MacNeill,
member of Parliament, points out
that tho thing may he largely done
through the universities which have
the power to institute studentships
in commerce tenable on condition
of residence in selected places
abroad. He says these students
could act as Irish trade agents.

Advice to the Lovelorn
SHE NEVER INVITES HIM
Dear Miss Fairfax:
To settle a dispute, will you please
answer the following: The young
man has asked a young lady to allow
him to take her out. The lady In
question has consented to this. These
people have been out together sev
eral times, the young marr always
asking the lady. Is it not the proper
thing for the lady to invite the man
after ho has called several times?
B. F.
It would seem that the young lady
might be gracious and invite the
young man to call if she has been
taken to places of amusement by
lilm, as your letter implies. She is
under no obligation l , however, to
take the young man to places of
amusement.
CAN SHE HELP!
Dear Miss Fairfax:
