CHAPTER COCX VIII For a time after Phoebe departed 'or the luncheon to which Val had neglected to invite me, I wandered about restlessly trying to find some thing with which to occupy myself. But the day stretched ahead blank and empty. I was delighted when ;he 'phone rang. Answering it gave me something to do, even if I got there only to be told "No one on the line now." That didn't happen, however. Instead Pat's voice came aver the wire. "Anne, will you drop everything you're doing and meet me for lunch? He asked so anxiously that ordinarily I'd have acquiesced at once, but now my raw feelings made me parley with him. "Can't you get anyone else? Is that why you ask me to lunch at the eleventh hour? "Come now, Alanna. what ruf fled the fine plumuge of you?" coaxed Pat at his most Irish. "It s not the eleventh hour, but the lunch hour—just one. I've been waiting for young Neal to get out of the office so I could call you. Knowing how the lad adores you, I was sure he'd insist on being invited too, and I wanted to see you alone. Will you be blaming me for that?" "You're balm to a wounded spirit. Pat," I replied, smiling in spite of myself-. , , _ . "Then you'll come?" asked lat with eagerness j_hat was beyond pretence. Of course, I went. I found Pat striding up and down the restaurant corridor, looking startlingly haggard, almost ill. His eyes seemed deeper-set than ever and the lines of his mouth were rugged. I made no comment, suf fering him to greet me in common place fashion and lead me to the table he had selected. That things were sadly amiss with Pat I gathered from the fact that instead of ordering with the easy grace so characteristic of him, he asked me uneasily what I wanted and didn't seem able to make up his mind about his food. At last we got the needed preliminaries out of the way, and as we settled back to wait for our order, Pat burst out doggedly: "Anne, something's got to be done about that Harrison place. I can't have it like this much longer. The transfer's all made—only waiting for her signature. Some one's got to bring her to her senses." "Yes," I inquired politely." And who?" Pat's eyes twinkled.

"Meaning I'm not \ip to it." I be gan, and then my blood froze in my veins and my voice stuck in my throat, for marching into the res taurant with the everpresent Shel don in her wake came no less than Virginia. Porhaps if she'd seen us as she came in she wouldn't have carried the thing through so scornfully. But the maitre d'hotel himself was es corting her diagonally across from us, so that directly she was seated Virginia must see us. One quick, scornful glance and then, fussing audibly about the draft, Virginia changed places with Sheldon so that she sat with her back to us. That she should turn away like this and yet remain in the restaurant must have seemed a deadly insult to Pat. He changed color, but made no com ment. As if by mutual consent, we raced through our lunch and got out of the place. And then, also as if we had planned it. we stepped into a taxi and rolled off toward the park. After a moment or two, Pat spoke in a grim tone to match the lines about his mouth. "I'm going to clear out of here for a while, Anne. Young Neal is well ahle to run the whole works. And if he strikes any snags. Car lotta will steer him out of shoal water. I need—a vacation." "Where are you going?" I asked, as if that were the main point at issue. "One of my clubs has a lodge up North. If I get company. T may go for a fishing trip," he replied, evad ing a direct answer and driving on to what was in his mind. "I've started work on the Old Place, Anne. T wonder if you'll run out now and again and see that every thing's ship-shape. I'll withdraw that deal I made out to Virginia. It's never been recorded—couldn't be without her signature. When T come hack I'll talk it over with Jimmie. T know he once wanted the place, and if he still cares to buy, I'll let him have it for what I paid." "Of course, we want it, but we won't talk about buying it now. And remember this, you nice, gen erous boy: if we take it off your hands, we'll include the improve ments in the price," I replied, feel ing as if I ought to pull poor Pat's head down on my shoulder and tell him to cry'it out. "You'll get it for what I paid, or not at all. I had a lot of fun plan ning the improvements," replied Bringing Up Father - Copyright, 1918.

Where are you going?" Then, almost as I had known he would, Pat turned to me with the hopeless expression I had seen Vir ginia wear a few weeks before and spoke almost the very words she had used. Only now it was hopeless and I had no answer, no argument. For this is what Pat said: "There's one thing I can give her. There's one gift she can't refuse, and that's her freedom. I'm going to Reno, Anne." (To Be Continued) C. E. Pass Leaves on an Extended Trip Charles E.

Memorial Park Addition —The 1 UJOXk&lftlifilCd HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH THE LOVE GAMBLER By Virginia Terhune Van de Water (Copyright, 1919, Star Company) i By a coincidence, Samuel Leigh ton met Walter Jefferson on his ! way uptown that afternoon. Incensed as he was by his ex chauffeur's behavior, he felt sud denly indignant with Jefferson. Man is an unreasonable creature, and Leighton had a swift desire to vent his irritation upon the first person he met. Moreover Jefferson was in- j directly concerned with the matter j that had destroyed his equanimity ! —for had he not informed Helen i Goddard that he was going to "in- i vestigate" Smith's past? "Good afternoon!" Jefferson greeted the older man unbanely. "I j am just back from Baltimore." "So 1 infer," was the blunt re joinder. "I tried to call you up during your absence." "Ah?" Jefferson's expression in- I dicated interest. "Was there any- j thing especial you wanted to say?" i "There was—but there is not now —except," he added, "that I am at present without a chauffeur —thanks to the inability of people in general to mind their own af fairs." Walter Jefferson gasped. Had Smith then slipped away before he could find out who he was?" "Indeed!" he explained. "I am sorry. To tell the truth, I had hoped in a few days to gave you a little information about this man. I know his name is not 'Smith.' " "And what if it is not?" Leigh ton burst forth, raising his voice to make himself heard above the roar | of the subway. "Whose business is that, pray?" A Change of Manner. Walter Jefferson had always re garded this elderly gentleman as a mild and courteous individual— yet here he was challenging him in a way that astounded him. He tried to laugh. "Why," he admitted, "it is nobody's business —in a way—of course, but it so 1 happens that I met that chap some years ago at the house of a cousin of mine. Unfortunately she was not at home when I was down in Baltimore, so I could not get into touch with her as I hope to do later—for she expects to be in New York shortly. I beg you to believe, however, that my chief concern in this matter was that I was afraid this fellow might prove as dishonest as the disappearance of a piece of your daughter's jew elry would lead one to suspect." "My daughter's jewelry!" Leigh ton exclaimed. "Did she mention its disappearance to you?" "No, indeed," Jefferson hastened to reply. "Then who told you about it?" The pair were holding to straps in the crowded express and the lurching of the train brought the older man's face almost in collision with Jefferson's. The young man felt awkward and ridiculous. "I—well —Mr. Leighton—l can not say jupt now—but I surely un derstood that" "Well, Just understand something else now!" Samuel Leighton ad vised harshly. "The piece of jewel- Dinner-And An Unex pected Business Friend "I don't know when X have been as embarrassed as I was last night,'" said Mrs. Greenly, as she and Mrs. Gordon sat knitting on the cool, awn inged porch. "Why. what happened?" replied her friend with interest. "Well," she said, "you know 1 al ways have a rather makeshift dinner on Monday nights. Everything is upset with the washing, and I don't go to much trouble. Well, last night Bob came home early, and brought a business friend to dinner." "Isn't that like a man?" said Mrs. Gordon sympathetically. "And," continued Mrs. Greenly, "I was having a cold supper so I thought the best thing to do was to have a nice dessert to save the situ ation, so I made a cornstarch pud ding. You should have seen it lumpy and thip I simply couldn't serve it. I had to serve stewed fruit. My dear, I'll never get over it.' "Didn't you have any Puddine?"' asked Mrs. Gordon. "I've never used it," she replied, "what is it like?" "It's a most wonderful dessert nothing uncertain anoiit it like a cornstarch pudding. Puddine always turns out right." "How do you prepare it? said Mrs. Greenly with interest. "All you need do is to add milk, either fresh or condensed, and sugar, boil for three mlnur.es, pour into a mold and then after it cools, you have a nice creamy mound of the most luscious rich dessert vou ever tasted." "It sounds lovely," said her friend, interested. "It's that and more," continued Mrs. Gordon enthusiastically. "You can get it in most any flavor chocoTate, rose, vunilla, orange, lemon and Puddine is so pure and whole some you can let the children have as much of it as they want." "Is it expensive?" asked Mrs. Greenly. "Expensive! I should say not. One 15c box will serve 15 people. And you can make all sorts of things with it rich pie and cake fillings and delicious ice cream, smooth and vel vety." Some time later, the two friends met. "My dear," said Mrs. Greenly, "I can't thank you enough for telling me about Puddine. The whole family love it. They want it for every meal." Include Puddine with today's groceries! Adv. ry is not lost —it so happens. It was simply put into one receptacle instead of another by my daugh ter's maid. I never knew so much fuss over a slight happening. One would think that in a big city like New York there was enougn inter est going on to engage busybodies without their prying into a trifling matter that was of no moment whatever. "As to Smith, my chauffeur — when I engaged him I knew all about him. I am a man of the world and have the sense to make sure of the character of a person before I employ him. If you wish to satisfy your curiosity on this matter, Mr. Jefferson, I can supply you with the name and address of the gentleman who recommended my chauffeur to me. You are wel "Why, Mr. Leighton—my dear sir," Walter stammered—what ob ject could I possibly have in in quiring about a common chauffeur like this fellow?" Still More Angry. He, too. was angry now, and his speech showed it. "I'm blest if I know!" was the sharp rejoinder. "But apparently you thought it worth while until this minute. As Smith has left my employ of his own volition, I have nothing more to say about him or his affairs one way or the other. So if you have any investi gations to make—such as those you referred to just now—you will pursue them for your own gratifi cation. "But to save you some trouble, I will assure you here and now that the man you are hounding is honest. This may be a disappoint ment to you. Here is my station. Good afternoon!"
