"Glory be, but I'm glad you've > *ome, Mrs. Harrison!" she cried. been phoning your apartment ! line sixty, Miss Virginia, she came home about an hour ago all done up by the weather. And she had me phoning for you every fifteen min utes ever since. Come right in, please." She led me back to Virginia's lit tle morning-room, where I found my sister-in-law lying on the win dow seat. Virginia rose at once and ran to greet me. •"You got my message. You for gave me for all my ugliness. Y'ou came!" she cried. Virginia's soft hair, usually piled in a regal coil high on her head, was braided and hung down in two childish plaits. She wore a lit tle wrapper of dotted Swiss tied with pink ribbons, and on her feet were pink satin mules. I had never seen her in so intimate a costume, nor looking so relaxed and young and helpless. "I didn't get your message," I said. "I just came." Virginia's eyes widened. "Did you know—l needed you?" she gasped. "Yes," I replied with conviction, "I knew." Seizing my hand between both of hers Virginia led me to the win dow seat and piled cushions behind me. Then she sank down in a low chair, which she drew up facing tne. "Y'ou didn't mind my refusing to come to you when you asked me?" she asked with childish seriousness that reminded me of Phoebe at her sweetest. "You've always forgiven me every hurt I've offered you. And still I couldn't believe in you. I couldn't believe in anything. Anne." "Tell me.

"Tell me, Jeanie, dear. Sure ly you know by now that 1 love you—too much to be hurt by any thing your own hurts make you do enough to understand anything you want to say. Tell me, Jeanie." "It's my pride," said Virginia, surprisingly. "Oh, yes, I know I'm proud. All the Harrisons are. ! Sometimes I think we're like that ; Miss Flora McFlimsy, "who was j proud of her pride. It costs me so much —so very much more than I want to pay. But I can't help it, Anne. Igo on paying." "Other people besides the Harri sons have pride, too, Virginia," I said. "Take me, for instance. Don't you think it hurt me in the be ginning to see that you thought Jim had—made a mesalliance?"

"I did think that," she said hon ■ cstly. "I didn't know there wns a | world outside my own narrow j sphere. I didn't know that any one outside my petty group of 'the right people' could bo worth while. I was an ignorant snob. I can never thank you enough, Anne, for you're such a thoroughbred—or you'd never stand for me." "You think I'm a thoroughbred!" I gasped, immensely pleased. Then I added, mischievously, "but I'm not i a Harrison." "The Harrisons haven't done i much to make you believe they're • thoroughbreds," replied Vi%ginia i wearily. "Byt I didn't send for you : to talk about the Harrisons or even I about you. I asked you to come I because I have to talk about my ; self.

The pieces of Virginia's broken romance were all to be in my hands soon. I fancied myself fitting them together and so giv ing back thir happiness to Pat and Virginia. ' "I can't stand this any longer— the anomalous position I'm in. I | mean. Neither maid, wife nor di- | vorcee. I am going to get out." i Virginia's eyes flashed and she 1 plunged ahead feverishly. I didn't , see clearly how unnatural the whole situation was until I found ! that Pat Dalton had bought the \ old homestead as a gift for me. Can't you see how humiliating it is?" "You mean for you to accept everything from a man to whom you're giving nothing?" I asked pointedly. "Yes," Virginia rushed on desper- | ately. "My taking money from him for my support—it's all outrageous. I can't live on his generosity like ! this. I can't have him tied to me!" 1 "But he wants to be tied to you," I I broke in. "He cares for you. He ; always has." "Oh, no!" Virginia smiled sadly. "He doesn't care. He may make you think he does, but that died long ago. I know.

"Come here, daughter!" he called, j "I have just received a special de j livery letter." "From whom?" she queried, as she crossed to the table at which he j sat. "From Smith. He is gotng to ! leave us." "Heave us!" The words were j "oarcely more than a whisper, and I the parent did not notice them. | "That is, he has written to give up his place—says he has to leave | town in reply to a letter from somebody or somewhere. Rather odd, I think, that my chauffeur should be obliged to go to another city on such short notice." "Why Dad?" This time the speaker's voice was audible. "Because," the man explained, "it looks queer—that's all. I wish I were sure of the fellow's honesty." "Dad," Desiree forced herself to speak naturally, "if Smith were not honest he would not notify you of his intention to depart." "Well, there's some truth in that, | DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS A DAINTY MODEL FOR "PARTY" OR "BEST" WEAR 2752—Girls' Dress, with sleeve in Either of Two lengths.

Still, the thing makes me uneasy"— He paused and sat pondering for a full minute. Desiree feared he would actually hear tho heavy pounding of her heart. At last he spoke. "I tell you what I think 111 do. I'll tell him that it will bo very in convenient to me—as it will be—to engage a new chauffeur for the next few days. Then, if he offers to stay on until I get another man, I will be pretty sure that he knows noth ing about the pendant If he insists that he must leave at once, I will have grave suspicions of him. If he will only stay in New York long enough for me to set on foot certain investigations, it will simplify mat ters for me." "Then—then—you will send him word that you wish him to stay?" Desiree asked. Only For a Few Days "Only for a few days. I don't want the fellow if he wants to chuck a good place—-although I confess he has a way with him that makes me like him. He certainly came up nobly to the scratch last night. He made a good-looking butler." "May I see his letter, please," Desiree suggested, holding out her hand for it. She was startled to note that her hand trembled as she took the sheet of paper. Her father noticed It, too. "Dear, you are over-tired. You should have lain abed this morning. You are not like yourself these days. Aren't you well?" "Oh, yes, perfectly well," she re plied quickly. "Writes a good hand, dosen't he?" the parent commended, glancing at David's epistle. He did write a good hand, but that was not what the girl was no ticing. Instead she was reading and re-reading the address at the head of the sheet of paper. For she had made a swift resolve. She had driven once to the door of the house in which David lodged, but she did not recall Just where it was. Now she must know the exact locality. "Dosen't he?" the parent re peated. "I beg your pardon!" the daugh ter exclaimed, coloring. "What did you say?" "Only that Smith writes a good hand, which is a matter of no im portance compared with the nervous state you are in," was the brusque rejoinder. "My dear, there is something wrong with you. Are you worrying about the pendant?" "Perhaps so—l don't know—yes, I fancy I am a little worried about losing it," Desiree acknowledged. 1 ,r — w 3 vTo^<v Sweetness Grape=Nuts Is due to self-developed sugar from the long baking of wheat and barley. This natural sweetness never disturbs digestion as do some other forms of sweets. Give the children all they want. Its good for them* "Then, why not take somo steps to recover it?" Samuel Leighton demanded. "Ask Annie what she knows about it—\p an off-hand, cas ual way, understand. Watch both her and Smith carefully. If Smith remains for a while longer, you must keep an eyo on him. Only be careful that nobody suspects that you are watching him." "Very well, father," was the murmured response. "I will try to do as you wish." Samuel Leighton was hardly on his way down to his offico before his daughter left the house. Taking a Fifth Avenue stage down town, she alighted at Twenty third Street and walked to a tele graph office. Here she wrote a telegram to David Smith at the ad dress she bad seen at the top of the chauffeur's letter to her. father. "When requested to delay depart ure. please do so. Cannot explain." Tho only signature she appended were the letters "D. L." , "Your name and address, please," the clerk said as she paid for the message. Desiree was not aware whether it was necessary to give these or not, but she dared not show any disinclination to do so. She had the terror common to those who prac tice deception for the first time. "Dorothy Dang," she said glibly. "And your address?" tho clerk asked, his pencil poised waitingty. "22 7 East Eighty-sixth street," was the quick reply. Then she hur ried away. "I feel as guilty as it I had been committing a crime," she reflected. "Yet I had a right to send a prepaid telegram. But I wonder how I hap pened to think of that assumed name—and I also wonder what kind of a place that address on Eighty sixth street is. Well, never mind! Nobody in this part of town knows who I am!" (To Be Continued.) , Committees of Striking Miners to Meet This Morning By Associated Press. Scranton. Sept. 11.—Despite the fact that the Anthracite Board of Conciliation requested them to re sume work and knowing that the international executive board had empowered District President John Dempsey to revoke the charters of all striking locals, the 14,000 Dela ware and Hudson mine workers ra fused to call off their strike yester day afternoon. This decision was reached after a three-hour session of the general grievance committee which called the strike. Members of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western general griev ance committee are to meet this morning and leaders of the strikers declare they will also vote to re main out. As the Delaware and Hudson and the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western committees are working together, !t Is more than probable that the strike inaugurated in Lackawanna collieries will alao continue.

Ten persons were killed and eleven wounded during food riots in Glogau, Silesia, Tuesday. Troops used machine guns and hand grenades against the riot ers. HUN RAILWAYS IN BAD SHAPE Passenger Traffic Only Fif teen Per Cent, of Normal, It Is Reported Berlin, Sept. 11,—ITerr Beser, the | Prussian Railway Minister, in n j statement to the members of the i Berlin Chamber of Commerce paints a gloomy picture of affairs on the 1 State Railways. Every day he said a subsidy of 10,000,000 marks is required from tho treasury. Pass- j enger traffic at present amounts to ; only fifteen per cent of normal, j lie said, and express service has dropped to four per cent. Higher j tariffs for goods and passengers are ! believed inevitable. The continuous strike and coal ' shortage are responsible for these j conditions, according to tho min- . ister, who says that apart from the*l severe traffic restrictions which have already been enforced, very I far reaching stipulations for tho winter arc unavoidable and the j German coal industry must he put j op a new footing. If possible, the use of coal in its present form, whereby the greater part of the heating units pass up the chimney, niust be prohibited by law. Owing to the shortage of fuel, German industries, it is said, are also interfered with, because they are unable to keep promises regard ing time of delivery. Private loco motive enterprises, the official de clares, are doing even worse than the State services. If possible, he adds, tho water-ways must be em ployed for purposes of transporta tion.
