CHAPTER CCXC J
[Copyright, 1919, King Feature Syn- j

We were in the midst of exclama- j
tions over my beautiful pearl ring j
when Bertha, my maid, appeared in j
the doorway and trembling asked if |
she could speak to me. The ring was j
loose on my finger, so as I started
across the room I hobbled to the table j
and dropped the jewel into its box. Af- I
terward I remembered that Bertha's J
eyes followed me intently. As I |
reached the door the telephone rang, i
so, flinging over my shoulder a re
quest that Jim answer it, I stepped
out into the hall with my maid.
"I have to leave you to-night,
Sirs. Harrison," said Bertha. in a
voice that sounded husky, as if she
had been crying.
"Why, Bertha!" I protested. "You
wouldn't leave me without a min- j
ute's notice, would you?"
"I got to go to-night," she repeated. |
"But I'm still limping around with
my ankle in a cast. Surely, you j
won't go," I urged. "What makes you |
think you must rush off like this?" I
"1 got to go to-night," Bertha in- j
sisted, monotonously.
The maid would neither explain her |
necessity nor change her plans. I j
gave her up as a bad job.
When I returned to the living room j
Daisy was sitting there alone.
"The phone message was for Carl." j
she explained. "Your husband called i
liim. Carl's getting so important now!
that he has to act like a doctor and j
leave his phone number wherever he j
goes. I wonder if you'll mind if I |
run. along now?"
"Aren't you going to wait for Carl?"
1 asked, since it was just in order;
to have Carl carry out his engage-!
ment with Daisy and take her to din- \
ner, even if alone, that I had invited i
her to call.
"No, whats the use?" she questioned)
bitterly. "Carl called off his party as |
soon as he found you weren't going to!
be there."
"Really, it wasn't that," I explained. I
"lie only postponed the party till next'
week so that we could all be there." i
Daisy turned on me with a steely |
flash in her eyes and a sudden firm-j
r.ess which gave her a personality.
e\ .n though it was the personality of
anger.
"He postponed the party for you. ;
Everything's for you. An adoring)

in the old days when you called him a
big brother and took everything he 1
had to give. He doesn't matter to you !
now. But you —you matter to every
one Have you ever read the story
of David and Uriah?"
And laughing Insultingly at her own
amazing words, she rushed from the
room, in such a whirl of anger and
energy that I didn't attempt to fol
low on my bandaged ankle. Limping
into the hall, I called Jim and toid
him of Bertha's unwelcome an
nouncement that she was going to
leave.
"Suppose you try to persuade her
to change her mind." I suggested.
Jim grumbled a little, but assented. |
As he went out to the dining room,
where Bertha was setting the table,
I followed to listen to him. But Ber- j
tha proved obdurate and secretive. !
When we returned to the living room !
Carl was standing by the window I
waiting for us.
"I have to run right along," he ex- ]
plained. "It's just as well that my I
party for to-night was called off. for
Mr. Haldane has asked me to jump ,
up to Canada after a new corporation i
that's going in for international ad- I
vertising. See you a week from to- 1
night."
Then a brief good-bye and the sec
ond of our guests rushed off.
"He seemed darn agitated over his
little flier in international business."
said Jim scornfuly. "Some men do
get excited over every deal they tackle.
Where's the field daisy?"
"She also went off in a rush," I
said, feeling a little nmised at the
way things were disposing of them
selves.
"What did he mean by 'See you a
week from to-night?' demanded Jim. I
"And what was that reference to his I
party for to-night? ire you male- j
ing engagements with that bounder
without consulting me?"
"Jim, don't call Carl a bounder," |
I protested. "He's a nice old dear.
A good friend. And he's the first of
my old friends I've asked you to
meet. You might be decent to him."
"I can't stand the goggled-eyed way
he stands and adores you," sputtered
Jim.
I couldn't help chuckling over Jim's j
evident jealously and at the absurd
person he had selected to agonize
over.
"Carl's always been the best jpal a !
girl ever had," I explained patiently, j
"Don't poll any of that Platonic |

ndsliip stuff," Jim cried. "The
n's in love with you?'
"You think every man I meet out
side of your own circle of intimates
is in love with me," I replied an
grily, and then I crimsoned as it
swept across my mind that even if
Jim did think just that, it only evened
up for the days when I thought every
woman I met was in love with him.
"Methinks the lady doth protest too
much," said Jim, good riaturedly,
pinching his cheek. "But the blush
is so darn becoming that I don't
blame 'em, even if I hate the mooning
and sighing over my wife."
Just then Bertha announced dinner,
and leaning on Jim's arm, I went out
to the table. Hardly were we seated
when I thought of my ring. Even if
! Jim. with a man's amusing lack of
observation, had bought me a ring far
! toe large for my finger. 1 wanted to
I wear it at our first meal after 1 came
j into possession of it. So I sent Ber-
I tha to the living room to bring the
I little white box from the table.
After a minute, she returned, car
rying the box in her hand. As she
held it out to me her hand began to
tremble violently, and the box slip
ped from her shaking fingers to the
flcor. It opened and rolled to my very
! feet. Bertha stopped and recovered it,
I fitting the two parts together again.
I Then she put it on the table in front
of me. Her face was flushed from
I stooping, but just when I looked up
; at her after a frozen minute or two,
I she had gone quite pale. I knew that
1 my pallor outmatched hers.
| The box was empty.

Sugar Shortages May
Be Expected to Continue
For Indefinite Time
1 Washington, Sept. 4. Sugar
j shortages now experienced in many
| parts of the country cannot be relieved
for some time to come, George A. Za
briskie, presient of the United States
Sugar Equalization Board, said, in a
letter receive to-day by Senator Hitch
coqfc. Democrat, Nebraska,
i "The demand is enormous and
| largely in excess of refiners' ability to
supply it at this time," said Mr. Za
briskie. Complaints regarding the
sugar shortage come from all sections
1 of the country and we fear it will be
practically impossible to relieve the
situation for some time to come.
Sugar from old beet crops, Mr.
Zabriskie added, is practically ex
hauste and shipments from the West
Indies have been "seriously embar
rasse" by the marine strike.

THE LOVE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER LII
(Copyright, 1919, Star Company.)
I Helen Goddard was actually
| frightened by the change that swept
! over the face of David Smith as she
I mentioned the missing pendant,
j For an instant she felt her trust
in him wavering. If he was abso-j
| lutely innocent, why should his color j
j lade and why should his eyes widen |
land darken?
! Then, as was her custom, she feitj
widely about in lier mind for somej
honorable explanation of his con-,
duct. I
She found one almost immediate-1
ly. Smith had heard that the pen- j
dant was missing, but until this j
moment it had not occurred to him j
that anybody could think that he j
was implicated in the affair. She ■
I had shocked an innocent man by I
this suggestion. She must hasten i
jto reassure him. She was more cer
' tain than ever that he was inno- j
| cent.
"David," she said, "I ought not to |
'have mentioned the pendant to you. I
[But you knew of it before—didn't j
you?"
He nodded without speaking. j
"Well," she went on, "I spoke of j
it just to put you on your guard.;
Of course I was aware that you aro j
! absolutely innocent."
I How strangely he behaved! He
[seemed actually stupid. Surely his |
manner and looks now proved that
he was not guilty. A guilty man
would have pretended that he had
| never before heard of the missing
I article.
"Ycu see," she tried to explain,
I "Walter Jefferson said something
J to-night that surprised me a little,
j He said he had seen you somewhere
! before."
i "His statement is perfectly true,"
! David affirmed.
He was rapidly recovering the
j equanimity that had forsaken him
I when this girl mentioned the pen
; dant that had belonged to his aunt.
.He had jumped to the conclusion
that Jefferson had recognized him
las David DeLaine. and had confided
'this discovery to Miss Goddard. In
I that case. Miss Goddard might re
| member that the person who had
| given Miss Leighton her handsome
i oendant was the aunt of David
i DeLaine. She had. perhaps, re
ferred to the bit of jewelry to lead'
[David to betray bis identity,
i If so. all was over. He must
: leave his present position might
I never again see the daughter of the ;
man upon whom he had imposed all
lihese weeks.
More Revelations
Helen was astounded at David's
I admission of past acquaintance with
j her informant.
"Oh, then you recall meeting Mr.
[Jefferson before?" she asked.
"Yes," David said. He must talk
[naturally and as if he had no idea;
[ what she was driving at. "I have [
! seen him several times since I have!
I been in .Mr. Leighton's employ. Once
1 was down in front of Carnegie Hall; '
i the other time was on Fifth avenue j
' when he Intimated that it was my j
| duty to enlist."
| David congratulated himself as he 1
! saw that for the moment his listen- j
, er's thoughts were diverted from his
[connection with the bit of jewelry
.to another matter that aroused her
curiosity.
"He intimated that you should be!
'in the service! But you were 1
' in"—
She paused, confused.
"Yes," he admitted, "I have been
in the service. I only wish I had
been able to stay until the signing
of the armistice."
"Then you do not mind speaking
of it?" she asked eagerly. "I was
sure you would not, in spite of!
I Walter's suggestion about your hav- I
i ing to keep quiet about it."
"What?"
[ The ejaculation was so violent thai I
j Helen felt herself cringe.
I "Nothing"— she stammered "only!
—only he"—
j "He what?" David demanded,!
I towering above her. "Tell me!" j
| A gleam of common sense made i
! Helen Goddard suppress a part of I
i what Walter had said.
"Oh—he only spoke as if you did ]
| not care to have it known that you j
j had been in the service, and were'
i out of it now—and I was just won- |
1 dering how you happened to get i
out."
"I was wounded," David said dog
gedly. "You may tell your inform-!
ant that if he refers to my case j
[again. I may add, in passing, thaci
.it is none of his business."
He Refuses to Answer
; "Of course it is not, David," Helen j
! said soothingly. "And I would not !
have referred to the matter if you j
; bad not spoken of Walter Jeffcr- i
: son's reproving you for not having[
enlisted.
I "What I started out to say was
. that Walter was sure he had scon |
j you before he met you here in New j
! York. He seemed to have an idea
' that he had seen you down in Baiti-
I more."
[ Averse as David DeLaine had
1 heretofore been to talking of his
' experience in France, he now found I
; that locality so much safer a topic
than Baltimdre that he wished he
[ had steered the conversation to the
i other side of the Atlantic.
But he must face facts, and let
this girl say what was on her mind.
"I have been in Baltimore in days
gene by," he admitted. "Jefferson
may have seen me there."-
"But ull this is beside the point,"
Helen said desperately as she heard
Desiree's voice calling:
"Helen! Where is Helen?"
"What I mean to say, David,"
Helen Goddard hurried on breath
lessly, "is that I believe you know
| nothing about that pendant. You
I don't, do you, David?"
"I know Miss Leighton sent a
pendant to the jeweler to be repair
!ed," David evaded.
1 "But beyond that you know noth
| ing about it, do you ?" Helen per-
I sisted.
I "That is a question I am not at
| liberty to answer, Miss Goddard."
i David replied. "And pardon me,
, but I hear Miss Leighton calling you.
] May I inform her that you are in
I here?"
