"Yes I've a confession to make," I
repeated.
Intent as I was, however, on the
fact that I was about to take Jim
completely into my confidence, I
noted his odd manner of accepting
my statement.
Then suddenly I found I dodn't
know where to start. I swept back
to the very begiiyiing—the loss of
the ring, my realization that only
two persons had had a chance to
take it and Bertha's confession that
her husband was a crook Just out of
jail and that she didn't dare stay
in service with me.
"You said only two persons had
a chance at the ring," interrupted
Jim gravely. "Have you forgotten
Booth?"
"No, but of curse he wouldn't,"
I began evasively, choking back
my Inclination to add, "and even
though you dislike him, you know
that." Then I blurted out "Oh, I
felt from the beginning that it was
Daisy."
"So did I," replied Jim calmly.
"You knew?" I gasped.
"I can't say I knew. But I knew
what you thought."
"Oh, Jim—l wasn't very clever at
hiding my suspicions."
"You were clever enough for the
honest, transparent darling you
are," replied Jim smiling over the
chairtop sweetly and understand
ingly. "But I'm your husband I've
spent a while studying you, living
with you, coming to be more and
more completely one with you.
Your mental processes aren't dark
to me."
"Jim!" I cried in the light of a
revelation. "Early this evening
when you asked if I trusted you
fully and entirely—this was what
you meant. When you said if it
wasn't for my wanting to help folks
we'd have come to a nasty place in
our. affairs more than once within
the past weeks—again you were
thinking of this. Oh l've been
such a fool, thinking I was so clever
all along "
"Do you want to be cleverer than
I?" asked Jim gravely.
I leaped to my feet and ran to
his side.
"No, I don't!" I cried putting my
arms around his neck and laying my

face against his hair. "I want you
to be Just what you are—dozens of
times smarter and more efficient
than I am. I'm your wife —that's
what I am. Jim Harrison's wife.
I'd hate to have it the other way
around and you merely Barbara
Anne Lee's husband."
"Bless your heart; you dear, hu
man, fuhny little thing, you're the
cleverest person hereabouts. But
I'm used to thinking things out -
in a game where you' have to out
guess the other fellow. Ann, you'ie
a good sport and a nervy little
gambler. Now go on with your
story, please."
"Jim," I said, stumbllngly. "I'll
never forget that you let me work It
out. You made yourself sympa
thize with me even if you couldn't
with my poor Kate's little sister.
And I guess you just ached to get
into the game and make a decisive
move."
"I sure did!" laughed Jim, rem
iniscently. "But it was your game.
You see, kiddie, that gambling spirit
you hate in me was on your side this
time."
"How?" I cried.
"Well, ive told you my theory
before. The fellow with a good
poker face and a fine sporting dis
position wins no matter what
cards the other fellow holds. You
kept a straight face that told noth
ing. And you acted like the whit
est little sport I've ever heard tell
of. You couldn't help winning in
the end. You had the kid licked
from the start. So I held off. I'd
have hated it if you could have
gone on much longer without tell
ing me. What made you decide to
night? Notice anything? See any
thing—-queer?"
"Why no," I replied, and told him
of my search for the blue dress
I'd given Daisy and of the way I'd
had a mental housecleaning while
I was rensacking the place for it." J
"Now I've a confession to make," j
said Jim.
"You?" I asked uneasily.
"Sure. When I breezed into the
room and found the ring lying there
I noticed a parcel on the chair.
Thought it was some new shirts I'd
ordered. Opened her up. Found
that blue dress. Oceans too small
for you. Suddenly figured out whom
I'd seen wear it. Flung it into my
closet because 1 didn't want to force
your hand. And then you came in
and finding me with the ring and
the lavender thing you'd worn when
the jewel was lifted and couldn't
tell me an out and out lie, but.
thought I'd fall for your yarning to
Uncle Ned over the phone."
"Oh, Jim!" I cried hiding my face
on his shoulder.
"The blue dress is on the shelf of;
my closet," said Jim." I thought
you'd have to come to me about it
eventually."
"I came without having to," T said
softly. "I'll always be glad of that.
T'm always coming to you about
things, dear. Maybe some day
you'll come to me. Then there will
be perfect confidence between us.
Jim gave me an odd start and con
trolled it suddenly. Then he said
returning with obvious relief to the
subject of Daisy:
"Now the next thing is to get the
dress back to the kid. She needs it
like the very old Harry—that I'll
bet."
"Jim, darling, you're wonderful!"
I cried. "I haven't told you how
agonizingly she took it how she
j Bringing - * - 1919, Intemation|l ervice . By^McManus^
suffered and wanted to pay by going
to jail. I haven't even told you she
brought it back of her own free will.
And yet you understand. You have
pity for her."
"Pity!" repeated Jim, and I was
never more surprised that at the way
he said that, for I'd thought the Hav
rison pride had no understanding of
the need of mercy. "Pity? We all
need it. Go as far as you like with
the Condon child or apyone else
you want to help. I'm with you."
"We'ro together." I said. "To
gether at last."
And if Fate knew what was going
to happen the very next day—how
she must have grinned.

THE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER I.XIX
Most loving fathers are jealous of
men whom their daughters admire.
Desiree was the only creature whom
Samuel Leighton loved deeply, and,
had Smith been her equal, he would
have been irritated by her champion
ship of the young man As it was,
added to the parent's natural jeol
ousy was his wounded pride that his
daughter should show a sentimental
loyalty for a man in his employ—
a chauffeur of whom he knew noth
ing except what an unknown cor
respondent had written.
Leighton had already forgotten
that only a few hours ago he had
declared to Jefferson his confidence
in Smith. It was one thing to be
| lieve the fellow was honest, but quite
another for Desiree to try to prove
the chauffeur in the right and her
father in the wrong.
For a while Leigh ton was very
angry.
His temper was of the quick and
rather violent type. But his love
for the child was stronger than his
temper. When he had sat alone
j smoking for an hour, after Desiree
had retired to her room, he was
willing to regard the whole affair
! in a more temperate spirit.
1 Of course, Desiree has spoken
! very foolishly yet, after all, sh3
; was ony a girl and had inherited
. her mother's impulsive disposition.
The man's face softened as he re
membered Desiree's mother —so like
her child in looks and disposition.
Desiree had been attracted by this
! good-looking chap, first because lie
i had had a wound stripe on his
i sleeve —then because he had been
I suspected of a theft of which he
was innocent.
Any warm-hearted girl would
{ have espoused the cause of a young
soldier who had been wrongfully
accused. So, after all, Desiree, with
her sentimental tendencies, could
j scarcely be b'amed for her passing
| indignation.
Her father was sure that it was a
I passing sentiment. For one thing
i —she would never see Smith again,
i The chauffeur had left his position
In anger. H,e would know better
than to show his face here in the
I future. He need never expect his
former employer to recommend him
to anyone!
A Comforting Reflection
A second later Leighton was call
ing himself a fool for fancying that
Smith would ask a favor of him. ,
"X really can't blame the chop
for getting a bit hot over the situ
ation." he mused. "Had I been in
his shoes X would have been vexed,
too. But now he is gone and we
can drop him and his behavior from
our minds. In a few days Desiree
will have forgotten all about him."
With this comforting reflection he
went to bed and to sleep.
Desiree, too, spent an hour in deep
thought—although she went to bed
and put out her light before letting
her thoughts dwell on her recent
dlsnute with her father.
She tried to convince her con
science that she had been In the
wrong—but her efforts were vain.
Surely she had been right In resent
| Ing her father's sneers at a man who
j had been his faithful employe.
| Then she appreciated that In tak
llng this line of argument she was
I not dealing honestly with herselr.
| A Short Visit With a
Lasting Memory
"X never know what to make for
, nessert whon the maid's away," said
, Mrs. Martin as she glanced at the
clock, and put aside her sowing,
| "Ijet me get it for you," said Mrs.
I Blair who was visiting her for a few
days. "I'd love to do it."
Dinner time came, and Mrs. Blair,
who had Insisted on making the des
sert with utmost secrecy, left tho
table and returned with a rich, brown
chocolate blanc mange,
"Tastes even better than It looks "
said Mrs. Martin .delightedly. "How
did you make it?"
"WXiy It's Puddine," replied Mrs
Bialr mysteriously, "wonderful Pud
dine."
"I Insist upon knowing all about
it. Where did you get It, and what
. is it?" laughed her friend,
j "I'll tell you. I slipped out and got
I it at your grocer's," said Mrs. Blair,
j "Jack loves cornstarch pudding and
■if there was one thing I couldn't
j make, it was cornstarch pudding or
I blanc mange. Then I heard of Pud
i dine."
"Is it hard to make or expensive?"
j interrupted Mrs. Martin.
"Oh, no, indeed. All you have to do
| is to add milk, either fresh or con
i densed, and sugar, and boil for three
i minutes. Then when It's cool, you
i have a firm, rich mound of delicious
| creamy dessert. And a 15c box of
Puddine will serve 15 people."
| "The only thing is," objected Mrs.
Martin, "the children are not so fond
of chocolate, and I guess it's really
, too rich for them anyhow."
[ "Oh, no," exclaimed Mrs. Blair. "It
isn't too rich. Why, it's so pure and
| wholesome you can let them have as
! much as they want—and it comes in
! any number of flavors —rose, vanilla,
I orange, lemon—and you can make all
! sorts of things with Puddine—creamy
' cake and pie fillings, and smooth ice
i cream."
"That being the case," smiled Mr.
Martin, who had listened to their con
versation with interest. "I vote for
I Puddine. It certaialy is good."
Puddine can be had at your gro
wer's! Order a box to-day I —Adv.
She had championed Smith because
she cared for him.
In the darkness of her rooni she
felt the hot blood rush to her cheeks
with the admission. But she must
be candid with herself. She trusted
Smith entirely. She longed to see
him again.
Her father had said that his
cnauffeur's real name was not Smith.
She could scarcely credit this state
ment -yet her father had spoken as
one who was certain of what he
said. She would die sooner than
ask for an explanation. And, any,
way, if the young man was using an
assumed nnrne, it was not because he
had dishonored his own name. Of
that she was certain.
Then, as at other times, she dwelt
on her father's goodness to her. She
loved her parent He was all she
v!? tJP spite of her indignation at
his attitude, she must remember her
duty to him. She would show by
her manner that she loved him and

Leighton gazed at her, puzzled by
her change of attitude. He could

[ complaints about the lack of coal.
We have the workers and we have

But when I asked each individual
