"What did you do?" I gasped, shaken by the tragedy in Lane Cos by's voice when he told me how Valerie Demerrais —nurse to his in sane wife and daughter of his boy hood friend—had confessed her love for him. , , Whatever he had done. I felt that this was Lane's tragedy, not \ al s and there was that poor insane woman, his wife, Loretta. I tried to think of her alone on that great fruit ranch for weeks at a time, with only Val to minister to her. _i saw Vtil's hands —soft and dead white in their thick puffiness— 'tending the sick woman. And I found myself thinking of some thick jungle-creeper matting and twisting about a tree and squeezing the sap and life out of it. Lane Cosby's voice brought me back. "What did I do?" he repeated, lifting one wiry brown hand to his forehead and pressing it there a* if he wanted to hold back some of the thoughts that were struggling to get out. "I put my arms about that pretty little girly and I asked her to let me send her away to school where she'd meet folks. I told her I had enough money to get a dozen nurses for Loretta and set up a fine place of our own. And I said that. I knew she'd forget me if she met nice young men her own age. "But little Val clung to me anc. asked me if I wanted to kill her. And all of a sudden, with that slim young thing trembling there in my arms, I went mad. So to save us both 1 pushed her away and ran down to the orchard to think things over. It went, to my head to have that little Val-girl love me. I knew then that I wanted her moi;e than anything in the world. And I knew j she was mine—for the taking. ' j As he spoke Lane Cosby trembled j with the depth of his feeling for Val. It was fine feeling, too—that j I knew. And however things ap- , peared, I felt sure that for Val's ' sake this big grown near of a man ] had tried to fight down the savage ■ she had roused in him. To him Val •was a child even now. But I had ; seen her smiling cynically with the wisdom of Cleopatra or any of the j other sirens whose wisdom was as deep and dark as the Nile. And I Tan, Red or Freckled Skin Is Easily Shed To free your summer-soiled skin of i its muddiness, freckles, bjotches or J tan, the best thing to do is to free j yourself of the skin itself. This is i easily accomplished by the use of : ordinary mercolized wax, which of course can be had at any drug store. Use at night as you use cold cream, washing it off in the morning. Im mediately the offending sufface skin begins to come off in fine powder like particles. Gradually the entire outer scraf skin is absorbed, without the least harm or inconvenience. The second layer of skin now in evidence presents a spotless whiteness and sparkling beauty obtainable in no other way. One ounce of mercolized wax usually is sufficient to com pletely renovate a bad complexion.

Now will i you tell me whatever you think I | ought to know?" "I'll tell you the rest—and get' it ; over," he muttered. And then the | story poured out as if it couldn't j be stopped or stayed any longer. I "I came up from the orchard i when it was dawn. Loretta know { me. She stirred and asked me where | I'd been all night. 1 said out moon- I ing over the fruit trees—never j thinking she'd understand. Then she j smiled, and I didn't understand. She j was quiet all day, didn't give a bit lof trouble. I put it up to Etienne | DomarraiS that 1 was going to be a ] millionaire if I wasn't one already, j and that since I was his oldest I pal he could take a little from me I'and let me give his girl the things she'd have had if he hadn't lost his j fortune. "He saw it the way I did. So we j picked out a school and told Val i she was to go off the next week, i She couldn't do enough for Loretta iat the l.ist. Seemed as if she want ! Ed to make up to her for—loving i me. And the last night Val was j going to be home we walked out in the garden and said goodby. She cried a little and I had to kiss her. • I had to! j "Next morning she didn't come • back as quick as usual from taking | Loretta her breakfast. I went in to see why she was staying. And there was little Val fied up in a I sheet, with Loretta hacking at her i with a pair of garden shears she'd , used the day before to cut roses. I went crazy, too, then, fearing • she'd kill my litle girl. "I had to put Loretta away after 1 that. When they get murderous j the asylum's the only place for i them. Val's got the scar on her neck yet under her hair. "Once a week I'd go to the asylum ]to see Loretta. She didn't know me. She'd just sit and brood and talk about the devil who'd stolen her man and how she'd get her sure as fate. She kept saying that ; she had a right to kill the girl who I laughed at her and boasted that she was going to marry her husband. All the time she'd say, 'lf I kill her ; she can't marry my husband, can [ she?' I trembled for poor litle inno l cent Valeria, who just seemed to i live for me. And then one day when j I came to see Loretta she'd got out : —escaiped. Straight to the Demer ! rais place I went. And there was 1 Loretta, lying on the matting m i Val's room. She'd got a revolver somehow,and shot herself. As she lay on the floor—-dead—a picture of me that Val had stuck in the corner of her mirror was looking down at her. We found poor little Val .locked up in her mother's room She was frightened till she was half crazy, too. I married Val the veai later—and I've tried to make up to her for all she's been through. But now " Lane Cosby ended his story with a sudden choking, sobbing breath that caught in his throat. I knew he was seeing every detail of the horror he had sketched for me.

Lane Cosby's breathing rasped out heavily in the stillness of the room. He was panting as if he had run a race. Suddenly his voipe thundered: "Now this Mason woman's got hold of it. And shte comes and taunts my poor little Val, twisting it to suit herself. I don't krrow how much she knows—or what she wants to keep still. But I'll pay her —whatever her price is." "Why should you—" I began. But Lane Cosby interrupted me. and his ashen face told me what was his most terrible fear. "Don't you see, Anne? Don't you see?" he cried. "My poor little Val was alone with the —crazy woman that afternoon. No one saw what happened between them. I know Loretta thought Val had stolen her man from her, and that she was set on that one idea—to kill my little girl. But the pistol Loretta clutched in her dead hand belonged to Etienne Demerrais." (To Be Continued) MAKE SERVICE STAR PERENNIAL An electrically lighted service star on top of an evergreen tree which has been planted in honor of its heroes is the methods which Ba ta'via, 111., has adopted to keep be fore its people the services of these men, says a report to the American Forestry Association, of Washington, which is registering all memorial trees planted. The evergreen at Batavia also is to serve as a com munity Christmas tree, and some other communities throughout the United States are setting out-a tree which can be used every Christmas or on other occasions instead of get ing a new tree every time one is needed. CHECK SHIFTING SANDS The Michigan Agricultural Col lege, through its forestry depart ment, is planting about 75,000 trees among the sand dunes in some of the western Michigan districts in an effort to check the shifting of these big sand piles, says a report to the American Forestry Association, of Washington, which is encouraging the planting of trees set out as me memorials to soldiers and sailors. HAJRJUHBTJRG TELEGKXPH LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED By MRS. WILSON WOODROW Temperament, I find, is by no means a monopoly with poets, painters and prima donnas. It is a far more prevalent complaint than half of those imagine who so proud ly flaunt its possession. Outside of having had an opera tion, I doubt if there is anything the average human being cherishes quite so fondly as the suspicion that he is "temperamental." Yet two-thirds of the time the term is merely a camouflage to deceive the squirrels. A building contractor was tell ing me the other day of the pecu liar disability which affects one of his employes—a clear case of tem perament. "Generally speaking, there isn't a better teamster in the world," he said. "He's a big, burly fellow with strength enough in his arms to hold a runaway locomotive, yet with a hand so easy that it wouldn't fret the most fractious colt. Jie understands horses can almost speak their language —and when he is right, can get more out of a team with less strain than any man I ever saw. "For seven months of the year he's almost worth his weight in gold to me; but with the first touch of winter I might as well lay him off. Cold weather, espe cially if there happens to be the least presence of snow or sleet on the ground, practically takes the heart out of him. "There's some peculiar kink in his mind, some suggestion of fear or failure, that at the sight of a sprinkling or snow brings the yel low streak out in him and ren ders him incompetent. And the horses know it even sooner than we do. He can take his seat on the box, gather up the lines, crack his whip, and holler 'Giddapl' till he's black in the face; but not a step for him will they budge. Put another driver in his place, though, and the team will move off as quiet and willing as you please. A horse, you know, is a pretty wise bird and mighty par ticular about who's driving him." Now. I admit that "The Temper amental Teamster" sounds more like a farce title than the subject for a homily; yet it struck me as I heard the anecdote that it was not without significance as a lesson. 1 recalled it this morning when I was considering a letter I had received from "A Discontented Wife." Not that she lacks ample rea son for a discontent, if the picture DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS A POPULAR STYLE 2 887.

A Wise Mother and I a Good Dessert "I wish I could find something for the children that they would like as well as cornstarch pudding or blanc mange," said Mrs. Matthews, as she and Mrs. Edmonds sat talking one I afternoon. "They're such a nuisance ! to make, and one never knows | whether they are going to turn out ! right." "Why don't you make Puddtne? That always turns out right," replied j her friend. "Puddine?" questioned Mrs. Mat- ! thews, with interest. "What is it? | Another dessert that sometimes is a i success, but generally isn't?" "No, indeed," said Mrs. Edmonds. | emphatically. "Puddine is a per- 1 fectlv wonderful dessert that always turns out right. You just add milk 1 and sugar to it and boil for three j minutes, and you know that when it I has cooled you will have a nice, rich mold of delicious creamy dessert." i "It sounds wonderful," interrupted I Mrs. Matthews. "It Is wonderful," replied Mrs. Ed monds. "You can get it itl a number of flavors —chocolate, vanilla, orange, lemon —and you can use Puddine for ' all sorts of things. It makes the most luscous cake and pie fillings, and smooth, velvety ice cream." "Is it expensive?" asked her friend. ! "Oh, no, indeed. A 15c package of Puddine will serve 15 people. And then what I like about it is that I can let the children have as much as they want, because it is pure and wholesome." vi certainly shall get some Pud dine," said Mrs. Matthews. "I'm glad you told me about it." A week later the two friends were talking together on the phone. "By the way." said Mrs. Matthews, "my whole family simply loves Puddine. I think they'd like to have it for every meal. I certainly am glad you i told me about it."

Advice to the Lovelorn I FORGIVES HER INCONSTANCY | Dear Miss Fairfax: | I am 20. About a month ago : I met a lady two years my junior. | We have learned to love each other. Now about six weeks ago she met i another young man. Soon I re ! ceived a letter stating that I ' shouldn't come down to see her any | more, and that she was going to be married to the other. But after | going about with him for two weeks i they parted. Now Miss Fairfax, what I want j to know is this—l really care for ! her and I know she cares for me. I Should I go back and ask her to i become good friends again? A READER. I Since you are sure that real love I exists at bottom between you and ; this young girl, why not seriously I talk things qVer with her. at least. ] Not many young men would forgive such an act of fickleness, but it is | true that she is very young, and i the fact that she was temporarily I fascinated by some one else need | not destroy your common happi i ness, since you are tolerant enough ! to look at more than one side of I the matter. What is His Motive? Dear Miss Fairfax: I am eighteen. Several months ago my brother introduced me to his c.huro, whom I have since learned !to love. He has taken me out j many times, and has been very at | tentive to me. Recently I have been j told that he loves another girl and | that he is only going with me to make her jealous. Now, Miss Fairfax, I would not worry so much, tut I like him very much, and more than one person has told mo this. Moreover, they are people whose word cannot be doubted. MIRIAM. If this is true, perhaps the same fate may overtake the young man that has overtaken many otLers, he j may start out to do this rather ignoble thing and wind up by fgrUtng ! in love with you. He will qtot do 1 this, however, if you lose your head I and show him plainly how much I you care. An element of uocerrtaln ty is a good thing in a love ai&tir.
