There was one moment of brava do as Daisy Condon stood facing me across the bright spaces of my room. Then she crumpled and stood with bowed head, abject and pitiful. And in the palm of the hand she held toward me my pearl ring. So she was a thief after all. Kate's little sister was a thief. I'd been right all along. There was my ring. My beautiful ring How I hated it! Standing in the thick, damp sil ence I couldn't break, that was the one outstanding thought in thfe tur moil of my mind. "I hate my ring. I hate my ring. See what it's done. See what it's made of Kate's little sister." I found myself staring at the lus trous pearl, unable to speak, un able to do anything at the moment or to decide what I must presently do. The little enamel clock on my dressing table ticked loudly. The sound of Hedwig's footsteps as she shuffled up the hall rapsed on my cars like the scrape of a giant emery hoard. Then I heard some on# clearing her throat gratingb* and Daisy's voice creaked out: "Won't you ever say anything? Please—please send for the police and get it over with. I can stand | that. What I cant' stand is this—j facing you and knowing what I am I and what you think of me. I don't j deserve any mercy, but show me some anyway. Send for the police and get it over." "I'm not going to send for the police." My voice was low. It seemed to come from far away. I wondered for a second if I'd actually said this or if I'd only thought it. Then I heard Daisy repeating in an incred ulous shriek: "You're not going to send for the police? You're not going— But you must! Don't you see you must?, I'm a thief. I have to be sent to prison." "Don't say that," I gasped, sink ing down in the nearest chair and covering my face with a shaking hand. "Don't say that. Kate's sis ter—" "Leave Kate out of this," Daisy 'broke in passionately. "She doesn't belong in it. I'm glad she's—gone and doesn't have to hear the shame of being my sister.

Won't 1 you send for them now and end this?" As she spoke, Daisy came and laid the ring on the orchid negligee I had flung over the arm of my chair. Then she backed away witha quick jerk and flattened herself against the wall, and her voice jumped out in little staccato bits. "I didn't dream I would ever be a thief. But I am. I hated you, And I wanted the ring. So I took it— the way you were taking Carl. I guess that's how I reasoned. Well, it's over now. I don't blame you for not wanting to touch me and take the ring out of my hand. Or for not speaking to me. I'll be glad to go to prison, so you needn't mind putting me there. I won't be as bad as lying awake nights and thinking about it and waking up and going through the days. I put a package there on the couch when I first came in. It's the dress you gave me. Please—oh, please—send for the police and tell them you have the thief—." "I'll do nothing of the kind!" My voice sounded amazingly brusque as I broke in vigorously. "You won't do that and get it over? I can't bear any more!" Daisy crumpled back against the wall and covered her face with shaking hands. Sobs shook her. She cowered away when I laid my hands on her shoulders. "You're not a thief, Daisy," I said feeling my way slowly. "You stopped being a thief the minute you walked in here and returned the ring. A thief wouldn't do that. No one had discovered you. The real You simply couldn't do the thing the other You had tried to do. | You and I are the only ones who know about that other You. And we can keep our secret." Daisy's arms dropped to her side. She stood staring at me incredu lously for a moment, and then she laid lier fingers timidly on a fold of my sleeve. "No," she said. "No. It isn't right. I don't deserve it. It isn't possible. No one could be so kind You must make me pay. You can't let a thief off." "Daisy!" I cried, shaking her drooping shoulders vigorously. "Stop calling yourself a thief. You've met temptation and you've overcome it. And all the rest of your life, you'll fight down your temptations before they threaten to destroy you. You owe this to me —as a debt of honor, now. And I think that's all we have to say to each other." The tears were running down Daisy's ashen cheeks. Her face was working piteously so that she had to struggle to steady her mouth to form words: "You can't mean it! How can you let me off? How can you let mo stay on at Mr. Mason's? How can you touch me?" "Daisy," I said quietly, "One greater than I said the words long ago: 'Neither do I condemn thee. Go thou and sin no more.' Both of us know that never again so long as she lives will Kate Condon's little sister touch what hers. And we'll lock this story up in our hearts and be the better friends for shar ing it. You were brave enough to come to me and offer to pay. I think that deliberate act of courage makes up for the moment when you yielded.

Come, I'll hurry you out the back way. This is our secret, always and for ever!" Seizing her almost roughly, I hurried Daisy down the hall and through the kitchen and so to the back elevator. Hushing her storm of praise and prayer and thanks, I hurried back to my room. There stood Jim holding in one hand my orchid negligee, in the other my pearl ring. To He Continued Scientific Discussions by Garrett P. Serviss The chances are that you never heard of Joseph Barrell, now that he he Is dead American geologists, who knew him and knew how to val ue him, have set up his memory as on a pedestal Inscribed with words of high honor. The ordinary man, who is no geol ogist or paleontologist, hut who may be a person curious about his an cestry, will certainly feel an interest in Joseph Barrell, on account of the singular picture of the first man, the Adam of geological Genesis, that he hung in the wonder-gallery of the sci entific imagination. It is a picture "that tells a story," or, rather, It Is the product of a story which begins very far back in time, and Is concerned at first with crea tures bearing no resemblance to him whom Eve so admiringly accented for husband and master: "O soul in whom my thoughts find all repose, My glory, my perfection, glad I see Thy face." It is a strange story of evolution controlled or guided by changes of climate, an epochal drying up of the earth. If you would understand Jo seph Barren's picture of the earliest man and his surroundings begin, if you please, with a fish. Barrell be lieved that the race of fishes took origin in fresh water and migrated from the land to the sea under the stress of increasing aridity—in a word, too much dryness. Now, it is important to remember that the fishes are in our line. They were the Introducers of the reign of the vertebrates, and geologically ."peaking, they brought it on sudden ly. So the story of the fishes is, in a broad sense, our otvn story. They pre ceded the cavo man by aeons, but they started the backbone for him. Then another step. The primary fishes, water-breathers, or breathers in water, using air bladders, under ihe same kind of stress, i. e., of in creasingly arid conditions, developed mother most important organ, which man was to find indispensable, viz., tlie lung. So all the fishes did not mi grate to the sea, but only those which were unable to develop lungs. And out of those that remained in a land environment sprang the am phibians, i. c., animals capable of iiving in both air and water. The next step in the story is a broad jump-—all the way from am phibian to man. And, having taken The Dessert That Saved Betty's Party "Betty wants me to give a party for her on her sixth birthday next week," sighed Mrs. Ford, "and I just dread to think about it." "I know just how you feel," sympa thized her neighbor. "It. is so hard," she continued, "to know what to have for refreshments won't hurt them. Custards are no treat for them, my cornstarch pud dings are always thin and lumpy, and ice cream is so expensive." "Have you thought about having Puddine?" questioned her neighbor. "My children love it, and it's so pure and wholesome." "What is Puddine?" "It makes a wonderful creamy mold of dessert. Costs 15c a box, and one box of Puddine serves 15 peore. "Is it hard to make?" "That's the nice part about Pud dine," replied her neighbor, enthusi astically. "It always turns out right, and it is not a bit of trouble to make. All you need do is to add milk, either fresh or condensed, and sugar, and boil for three minutes. Pour it into a mold and after it has cooled, you have a firm, smooth mold of delicious dessert chocolate, rose vanilla, orange, lemon in fact, whatever you like best, for Puddine comes in a number of flavors." "I've a mind to try it, and let Betty have her party after all, said Mrs. Ford. "As a matter of fact," suggested her friend," you could have some homemade ice cream. Puddine makes ice cream as smooth as velvet. And not only that, but for cakes and pies, Puddine makes a wonderful filling." Some time later the two friends met. "I've been waiting to call you I up," exclaimed Mrs. Ford. "Puddine ! is wonderful. I had the party for Betty, and 1 don't know when I have seen children enjoy anything as much as they did that Puddine. I had enough left over for supper that night, and Henry said he had never tasted such delicious dessert. Order some Puddine with today's groceries!— Adv. IHARRISBURG TELEGRAPH THE LOVE GAMBLER By Virginia Terhune Van de Water [Copyright, 1919, Star Company] j CHAPTER DXIII. Samuel was seated in his private office that morning when liisj daughter entered. He raised his i brows questloningly as she followed j the clerk who announced lier. "I understood you were alone. Dad," she began as soon as the door had closed behind her. "I hoped you were resting, my| dear," her parent said, kissing her. "1 hardly expected a call from you down here. How did you come?" "In the subway." "It must have been something im portant to make you come in that way," he teased. "Do you want some money?" She shook her head smilingly. "No, sir, I came to tell you I have followed your instructions and have questioned Annie about Norah—and Smith." "Yes? But you could have told me that to-night." "Perhaps so," the girl hurried on, "but Annie proved so plainlv that Smith was innocent that T thought you should know about it. This is what she told me." Then, as nearly as possible, word for word, she repeated her queries and her maid's answers. Deighton listened gravely, nodding from time to time. "Well," he said, when she had finished, "as the girl had no object in exaggerating, we must believe her. It is plain that Norah had a grudge against Smith." "Because he was not the kind she t nought he Wcis, Dad," Desiree in sisted. "I know this because I saw that letter she wrote him—as vou may remember." Then, although her breath came fast, she explained how she had read the paper which she thought at first her father had dropped. Desiree Is Confused Samuel Deighton shrugged his shoulders. "It is evident that th fellow s good looks caused Norah to make a fool of herself, that's all My respect for Smith increases when T find that he did not encour age her. Still, that is no concern of ours. All we care to learn is that the pendant is safe and that it was not stolen. Do you suppose Smith guesses that we suspected him?" "Why, yes sir—of course he knew it from my surprise when I found , n , I . y J? rO /l erty last n, ht'" she asserted illogically. fWhat did he say?" don't just remember—onlv that It was all right or something of that sort when I told him that— when I tried to explain to him" She stopped confused when she re membered how much moved she had been. I am afraid," she added lamelv that I was so excited that I said something foolish—perhaps— I mean I did not explain"— "Of course, you did not," her father interposed kindly. "Nor was it your place to do so. I will send for Smith and make it right with him." Desiree started uptown in a per it, we are confronted by the figure of our first ancestor, not with "hya cinthine locks," lying under the trees of Paradise, in the cool of the eve ning, hand in hand with his fair mate, but "a powerful, terrestial, bi-pedal primate, largely carnivorous in habit," transformed from an arboreal, fruit eating ape. Then the picture changes and we see this beast-like man, "banding together with others of his kind in the struggle for existence, and by that means achieving success in chase and war." The scene, be it remarked, is laid in Asia, the mighti est of the continents, which nearly all speculators on this subject have se lected for the place of man's origin. We seem now to have got a long way from the fish, with his first back -1 one and his air-bladder changed in to the first lung; but a single stroke, descriptive of the cause of the trans formation from ape to man in the dwindling forests of Asia, brings us back to the starting point; "The grad ual elimination, first, of the food of the forests, lastly of the refuge of the trees through increasing semi aridity. would have been a compelling cause, as mandatory as the semi aridity which compelled the emer gence of vertebrates from the waters, transforming fish into amphibians." Rabbits Plentiful, Sportsmen Declare Stinbury, Pa., Sept. 30.—North umberland Couny sportsmen, who have been engaged in training their dogs in nearby woods report rabbits more numerous this seakon than during the past several years.

Bailey Begins Suit For Divorce Sunbury, Pa., Sept. 30.—Paul D. Bailey, acquitted of the murder of George W.

She was so agitated by what had occurred that she wished there was some further action that she could take. Her trip to her father's office had been made because she could not rest until she had heard his assertion that he be lieved in Smith's innocence. Now she longed to get the chauffeur right in the eyes of all concerned. Suddenly she remembered Mr. Perry, the jeweler. In her over sensitive state she felt she must in form him that the missing property was safe, thus further exonerating Smith. Stopping at the Fifth ave nue shop, she went into the rear of the store where Mr. Perry's office was. He rose at sight of her and came forward. She greeted him eagerly. "Good morning, Mr. Perry, I just stopped in to tell you that my pend ant has been found. I will bring or send it and the chain down to morrow to make sure the stones and catch are secure." The man looked surprised. "It has been found, lias it. Miss Deigh ton? I congratulate you. How did you happen to locate it?" "It had been misplaced by my maid." Desiree replied. "So, you see. I was quite right in insisting that it had not been stolen." "Ah, yes—I see. But how did the box happen to be all tied up, yet empty?" An Intimated Rebuke "Oh, it was a foolish mistake," the owner of the pendant evadad. "And, by the way, I think it might serve as a lesson to some of us not to be too ready to suspect others of dishonesty, of which they are quite incapable." Mr. Perry flushed, but tried to laugh. "My dear Miss Deighton," he pro tested. "If you saw as much dis honesty as we do"— "I am glad I do not," she rupted. Then, repentant of her brusqueness, she smiled. "I just happened to be passing, so stopped in to tell you about the matter," she said lightly. "You were very kind to take so much interest in my property." "Not at all," the man demurred. "The pendant is very valuab'e—a wonderfully beautiful article. Your father showed it to me just after it came into your possession. It was an heirloom, if T am not mis taken?" "It was left me by a friend," she said briefly. "Good morning!" She had done all she could to clear Smith's name of suspicion. She had hoped that after doing this she would feel at peace. Yet now, as she went uptown, she was wishing that she could do something more for him. She had not sent for the car this morning, as she felt bashful at meeting him after what had happened last night. Her father had said he was going to send for Smith to come to his office. That being the case, she would better not order the car for this afternoon. It might interfere with her father's plans.

There is something In our lives that hampers us, keeps us back and is a continual source of worry and irrita tion. There it stands like some great rock across our pathway. We realize how helpless we are before it. No natter if we oxtrt all our strength we , cannot make it budge. What are we going to do? Sit down in the roadway before that hor rid rock and cry and let the rain beat down on us and the sun bake us while we brood on the injustice and cruelty of the fate which has placed such a stone in our path? That is the natural and easy thing to do, but it doesn't get us anywhere and it doesn't get the stone anywhere. So it is impracticable. What is the practical thing to do in any situation? Face it; and face it calmly and with your eyes wide open. If you shudder and try to avoid look ing at it you will only exaggerate it. It Is a fact, and a very hard fact; but there is something strange and mysterious about even the hardest facts.

One of these remedies is to hold on—hold on to your belief in yourself and in brighter, better circumstances. The most noted example of the eftlacy of these remedies is the character known as "the importunate widow" whose ex poriencse is told in a very brief and great short story. "And he spake a parable unto them to this end: That one ought always to pray and not to faint. "Saying: There was tn the city a judge which feared not God, neither regarded man. "And there was a widow in that city, and she came unto him, saying: Avenge me of mine adversary. "And he would not, for a while, but afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this widow troubletli me I will avenge her, lest by her con tinual coming she weary me." There is the whole secret of suc cessful human endeavor. To pray is very often to act. There are people who have what | seems to be an insuperable clilfldence which stands in the way of their ad vancement. They say: "I just simply can't push myself. If things don't c?me to me because of my merits, why I prefer not to have them." But how is anyone going to know nbcut your merits, unless you put them in the show windows? ! A person of small attainments who not only makes the most of them, but who also wears them all over his sleeve like service-stripes and all over his chest like medals, is apt to get the things he is after much more surely than the one who retires into his shell and waits for some one with patience and x-ray eyes to come along and discover him. Why should you be the one to take the back seat? Why should you let your diffidence and self-consciousness master you while you watch some ons with perhaps not half your ability and with no more opportunities than you have distancing you in the race? You may say: "I wouldn't stoop to his or her methods." If those meth ods are dishonest or unfair, you are quite right. He will not be able to keep his success long. But If his methods are those of the importunate widow, if he keeps his eye open to every chance and profits by it, you cannot begin too soon to emulate him.
