On the day after Phoebe and Neal
found each other again I decided i
—unilattering an the simile is—to j
heard the lion in his den and to j
have a frank talk with Virginia. 1 j
couldn't believe in the finality of j
her quarrel with Jim. At all events.
It didn't include me. With as much j
of an air of innocence as I could ;
command 1 telephoned Virginia, j
told her how sorry 1 was she hadn't [
been able to come to dinner the
night before and suggested that she j
lunch with me.
"I'm afraid I can't do that," re- |
plied Virginia with suavity that ac- |
cepted my pretense of not knowing t
that she and Jim were on bad terms. !
"But I'd like to see you if you'll j
meet me downtown."
"If it's my party I'll meet you j
wherever you say," I agreed. ;
thankful for small mercies in the j
form of Virginia's not including j
me in her unprecedented quarrel j
with Jim. But I wondered if Vir- j
ginia's refusal to come to our house j
pieant an actual break with Jim.
So we agreed on the time and
place, and I dawdled through the
morning waiting for the event.
When I arrived at the appointed j
place Virginia was already there,
punctilious as ever about the pre
cise letter of the law. She led the
way to the desirable window-table
that head waiters seemed always to }
have magically in reserve for her. |
And very graciously she gave me I
the place facing the room. If only
she wouldn't be quite so gracious,
I felt that things would be far
easier for me. However, as soon
as we had ordered I took a reso
lute plunge into waters that might
prove tropical—yet might turn icy.
Havt you heard the story of the
routing of Miss Evelyn Mason?" I
asked abruptly.
"That sounds as if she had been
in a battle," said Virginia with
elaborate indifference. "Isn't this
melon iced perfectly?"
"Yts —and so are you, Jeanie," I
laughed, remembering how Vir
ginia's manner would once have
"routed" me. "But I'm going to
tell you the story even if you don't
clamor to hear it. You see, it dis
closes the cleverness of my Jim—
and even to his beloved sister 1
like to display that at every oppor- i
tunity."
Thereupon I related briskly and
with no breaks to give Virginia an
opportunity to sidetrack me the
story of Jim's clever handling of
Evvy and how he had forced her to j
realize that she couldn't go through
with her spite engagement. I end
ed with a flourish, telling of Evvy's
explosion of malice and temper and
the insolent rudeness with which
If Heat Causes Wrinkles
to Form Try This j
If the heat tends to loosen and
wrinkle your skin, there's an- effec
tive and harmless remedy you can
readily make at home. Just let an
ounce of pure powdered saxolite
dissolve in a half-pint of witch
hazel and bathe your face in the
liquid. This at once tightens the
skin and smooths out the lines,
making the cuticle and underlying
tissues much firmer. The ingredi
ents, of course, can be obtained
from any druggist.
The saxolite lotion is splendid for
flabby cheeks or chin, as well as for
enlarged pores. It makes a tired,
wilted face more refreshed and
youthful looking.

Mr. Garfield says there will be a famine in coal this
fall if early buying is not started. He's right. You can't
squeeze a quart of water into a pint cup. Neither can the
operator produce a year's coal supply in a few months.
Mr. Babson, Statistician of the Department of Labor,
says prices won't be any lower—they are going to be
higher. Mr. Babson is right.
Mr. Hines, of the Railroad Administration, says
we won't have so many cars this winter. He is right.
Coal can be hauled in summer and should be. That
will let the Nation haul other commodities that must and
should be hauled in winter.
To avert a National calamity—to be sure
of your coal supply to get coal at the
lower prices for the balance of the year, buy

SATURDAY EVENING,
she had rushed off leaving her as
tonished guests behind.
"Since when, Anne, do you relish
Jim's well-known tendency to—lot
us say 'amuse himself with the ad
miration of pretty ladies?" asked
Virginia, as I concluded my story.
"Jim wasn't amusing himself
with Evvy," 1 retorted. "She's
nothing to him, as he's proved. But
she was clawing at him through
poor little Phoebe. And he forced
her to see that she couldn't pay the
price for her spite."
"Forced her to realize that no
means too much to her to permit
of her marrying this handsome and
much-sought-after young brother
of yours. A fine thing for a man
to do even if that man is my
brother," said Virginia bitterly.
"Make a woman realize that she
cares for him when it's too late."
At the time I was too eager to
plead Phoebe's cause to consider
what this last sentence of Vir
ginia's might imply about herself.
And 1 had Jim to defend.
"But that's all wrong, Virginia.
It's unfair!" I cried. "Jim didn't
wake Evvy to vain longing for him,
as you seem to imply. He made her
conscious of the fact that she'd
been making a fool of herself. And
she saw that all she wants where
the whole crowd of us is concerned
is to get rid of us forever."
"It's scarcely worth arguing
about. Evvy Mason isn't interest
ing to me in the least," said Vir
ginia firmly, "but what does in
terest me is when you are going t.
plead the cause you are here to
represent."
"Whose?" I gasped, amazed at
her change of venue.
"Whose indeed?" smiled Virginia.
"Your brother's?"
At that moment I guessed just
how ugly a break between Jim and
i Virginia had been made possible
by her indomitable short-sighted
pride. And I could get some idea
of why she and Pat had separated.
But I was so sorry for her that I
didn't get angry. Instead, I replied
quietly:
"It's Phoebe's cause as much as
Xeal's, Jeanie. She's blooming
again. They love each other so
deeply—those two blessed babies—
that it's enough to make a grown
up ache with yearning to be as
ideally happy as they are."
"You've answered yourself, Anne,"
| interposed Virginia. "They are ba
bies. And Neal is a fickle one. He
shan't come trailing back to Phoebe
now. This isn't good enough. He's
unproven. He has nothing to offer
but ugly memories of Evvy Mason.
And I'm going to protect my little
sister, even if your husband doesn't
care to. I'm Phoebe's guar
dian, and she doesn't come of age
for over two years. Do you think
Neal's devotion will last that long,
or will he have another scalp or
two to bring her as a trophy by the
j time she's free?"
I I leaned back, chagrined, con
| sciouely flushing, trying to keep
my eyes steady and unwavering.
Then I became aware of the fixed
I and steady gaze of a man a few
J tables away. He was smiling
I eagerly, watching me with concern
i and unmasked interest. For a min
j ute I worried for fear we had been
; talking too loud, had given the ap
! pearance of a quarrel. Then I
i started to wonder where I had seen
j the big blond giant before. He
• looked familiar. He seemed des
! perately anxious to command an
j answering smile from me. Sud-
I denly he arose and came eagerly to
| our table.
"Why, Barbara Anne," he said
I "Barbara Anne Lee, don't you know
| me?"
i "Carl Booth!" I gasped, utterly

THE LOVE GAMBLER

Desiree gasped incrediously as the
meaning of Jacob Perry's statement
rushed upon her.
"Empty!" she repeated. "That
cannot be!"
"The box was empty. Miss Leigh
ton," the speaker insisted. "T would
not be so sure of it if 1 had not re
ceived the parcel myself from you.
chauffeur."
"But 1 put the pendant and chain
into the case several days ago," De
siree said, "and 1 saw my maid
wrap it In paper and tie it up."
"What did she do with it then?"
Perry inquired.
"I laid it on my dressing table,
where it has been ever since."
"Who has had access to that
room ?"
"The maids—and myself," Desiree
replied.
"You are sure of the honesty of
your servants?" Mr. Perry asked
cautiously. "Pardon the query
but that pendant is very valuable."
"I know it is," the owner acqui
esced.
"I dislike discussing this matter
over the phone," the jeweler said.
"I would prefer seeing you in per
son. Shall you be down here this
afternoon?"
"1 will ma,ke it my business to
I come down," was the prompt an
swer.
Too much perturbed to eat much
I luncheon, she hurried down town
[as soon as that meal was dis
patched. She did not send for the
car. She preferred going alone.
Jacob Perry greeted her politely.
"Come right into my office," he sug
gested, leading the way.
As soon as she was seated, he in
troduced the business upon which
she had come.
"I thought it best to see you
rather than go into particulars over
the telephone," he remarked.
"You are quite right," she mur
mured.
"You know that pendant is very
valuable from the viewpoint of
what its jewels are worth alone—
aside from any sentimental feeling
you may have about it," he de
clared.
"But I cannot believe it is lost,"
Desiree protested. "There must be
a mistake somewhere."
"Not at this end of the line," he
affirmed. "A customer was here
when your man brought the parcei
in. I laid it on my desk and did
not move from that spot until I had
opened it. The case was empty.
Do excuse me for seeming persist
ent—but what about the maids in
your employ?"
"They are absolutely honest,"
Desiree said. "The one who wrap
ped the parcel for me and who
knew what jt contained, left me this
morning."
"Ah!" The man's exclamation was
significant. Desiree answered quick
ly the implication it conveyed.
"You are mistaken if you think
she took the pendant," she assured
him. "Norah—this maid—has been
in my employ for two years. She
has her faults, but is perfectly
honest. She had excellent refer
ences when she came to me. She
has had access to all my valuables
1 —and I have never missed a penny's
worth of anything."
"But," the man reminded her,

"think of the pendant—of the dia
monds in it—not to mention the '
amethyst itself. Such a thing
would be a great temptation to a'
girl who might be in need of money
—and, who was leaving her place."
Desiree remained certain of
Norah's integrity.
"No," she insisted, "it was not
Norah. Nor was it Annie—my other
maid. She, too, is above suspicion."
"Are there other servants?"
"Only the cook. She never en
ters my room, any more than does
the laundress, who comes in each
week to do the washing."
"Then," Mr. Perry affirmed, "If i
nobody In the house took the pen- J
dant, some one outside must have
done .so."
"Outside?" she repeated. "What
do you mean?"
He hesitated. He had noticed
this morning what a fine-looking
and well-spoken chauffeur Miss
Leighton had. He regretted hav
ing to cast any suspicions upon him,
yet there seemed to be no way of
escaping this duty.
"Well," he began awkwardly, "to
whom did you hand the box this
morning?" i
"To nobody," Desiree replied. "1
sent Smith, my Chauffeur, uptown
for it while I was attending to
some business downtown. One of
the maids handed it to him, and he
brought it down here directly to
you."
Then, as he stood regarding her,
his thought penetrated her own
brain. She started to her feet.
"You cannot mean—you do not
think." She stopped, the color leav
ing her face.
"That your chauffeur may have
opened the box and removed the
contents?" Perry said slowly.
"That is quite possible—as you
must admit yourself."
"It is not!" she contradicted hot
ly. "You are entirely mistaken."
"Excuse me," the jeweler said,
"but did he know what was in the
case ?"
"Yes," she admitted. "He did
know. You must know that ho
knew, as he gave you my message
about the pendant and chain."
"Yes, that is what I was think
ing. And knowing, he might have
been tempted"
She interrupted him. "You arc
entirely mistaken! My father knows
all about Smith. Whoever else is
guilty, he is not."
"Well," Perry suggested sooth
ingly, "you would best tell Mr.
Leighton about the matter immed
iately and let him decide what is
best to be done. I am sorry this
happened Miss Leighton very
sorry!"

Life's Problems
Are Discussed
i
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW
Is the answer about to be given to
that ages-old enigma—Death?
Certain it is that established ideas
regarding it are giving way; that a
constantly increasing number of
' thinking people are accepting views
which a few years ago would have
been considered visionary or ab
surd; that the entire world is slow
ly taking on a new attitude toward
this greatest of human problems.
As always the case when any great
discovery is about to break, hints
of the solution come from many di
verse sources, and Investigations
along totally different lines seem to
lend themselves to the elucidation
of the main issue. The subject is
"in the air," as the saying goes.
Out of the welter and chaos which
have marked this second decade of
our century, one thought seems to
be emerging ever more clear and
distinct—that the real world is the
spiritual world, and the material
world as we know it a mere crea
tion of our deluded senses.
"Energy is the only real and sub
stantial thing. What we call mat
ter Is only a momentary manifesta
tion of energy," says Science, there
by following hard upon the heels of
those modern philosophies which
have declared that "All substance is
spirit."
If this be truo then everything
which really' exists is spiritual in
essence. And it would be idle to toll
any man or woman that he or slio
does not. exist. We may doubt or
question every other fact in the uni
verse, but of that one thing "I am,"
each of us is Individually sure. Des
cartes settled that long ago with his
"Cogito, ergo sum!"
Consequently, It follows that,
whatever we may think ourselves,
each of us is in fact a spirit, im
mortal, eternal; and that the cir
cumstances of birth, material growth
and decay, and death, as we have
been taught to accept them, are
temporary illusions.
Does this sound far-fetched, eso
teric, mystical?. I can only reply
that It is the conclusion to which
many eminent investigators— men
of the exact sciences, no less than i
theologians and metaphysicians —.
have been forced in spite of thein
selv js.
And. granting the assumption, then I
it must be admitted that all that j
innumerable host which have peopled i
the earth and whom we regard as!
dead, have not "passed on, ' but are I
existent to-day just as much as we |
are. Of the same real quality and j
texture as ourselves, they are in- I
habitants with us of the real spirit- |
ual world, hidden from us only by a I
veil of illusion.
An analogy which suggests itself |
is that of a boatload of sailors pre
vious to the time of Columbus might ]
have been driven by wind and tide |
far out of their course and finally
cast up on the shores of America.
Unable'to return or to communicate
in any way with those they had left
behind, their fate would remain to
their friends in Europe a matter of
unending conjecture and speculation. :
Yet they would be alive and well, !
merely separated by a barrier which
though it seemed impassable in that
era, has since become practically
non-existent.
Long before Columbus there was
a theory widely held that land lay
on the other side of the Atlantic,
and the friends of those sailors
might easily have argued that the
castaways had reached It, but tbeoty
Is never wholly satisfying. The only
thing which could give assurance of'
the truth would be the actual re- j
turn of one of the boatload or else |
an unquestionably authentic com- j
munication from them.
So it is with the so-called dead.
No amount of theorizing as to their
condition and experiences will meet
the case. Only adequate proof will
ever fully end our doubts and quts
. tionlngs—the return of one of them,
or else some communication which
will stand up under the test of the
most rigid, scientific inquiry.
Will such proof ever be forthcom
ing? Logic indicates that it will.
