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. Jeanie," I said, softly,

ways unlocked the gates of Neal's
heart. "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?"
Virginia seized my hand in hers
and looked at me with such plead
ing to let bygones be bygones that
| I was fairly ashamed I'd had to
: rake them up for the moment,
| though it was only in order to
J have them forgotten for all time.
"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. I can't stand it any longer
; with things shut in—shut in and
festering. I've got to talk, Anne.
{l've got to talk!"
"I'm ready to listen." I smiled

happily, anticipating triumph as I
said that. The pieces of Virginia's
broken romance were all to be in
my hands soon. I fancied myself
fitting them together and so giv

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

Desireo Lcighton was passing
through the hall when her father's
voice summoned her to the library.
"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,

me. We drifted apart. After awhile
he never even touched my hand. He
didn't even look at me as if he had

of me then. My heart, 1 suppose."

• "He does. Only this afternoon he

j "I care!" Virginia laughed sluilly,

i into her bearing. "I—care for a

.of course," Samuel Leighton ad
mitted. "Another thing in his favor
is that he has the graco to say he
hopes he is not inconveniencing me.
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.

"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!"

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.

Miami, Fla., Sept. 11,—A tornado

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.
