I gasped. "You've discharged Lyons and sold the car without asking me—why, Jim! How"- And then I stopped. My mind swept back for some reason —some explanation in the happenings of the last few days for this astonish ing thing. But none offered itself— indeed, not a single thing—-not the shadow of a quarrel, even pre sented itself in explanation of this amazing act of Jim's. Then the gravness of his haggard face forced itself into my thoughts, it scattered them and brought me back to the moment's need—to Jim's need. For Jim seemed to be waiting for me to say something more, to be watching my face with greatest intentness than before. "Of course, we still have the lit tle car." I offered in place of what had been on my tongue. And I can drive it myself—very well. You're said that many times." "Yes, you do drive well —and you still have the little car. That's what thought. It's all right, isn't it? But let's have dinner now." So foreign to Jim's eager nature was this postponement I ought to have understood right then that there was something far from the usual troubling him. It is impossi ble even now to forgive myself for not understanding instantly. I may never be able to absolve myself in my own heart from blame. But 1 shall always account it to my credit that in this moment I remem- MUNYON'S RHEUMATISM REMEDY Money Refunded if it Fails EDY relieves sharp, shooting pains In the arms, legs, side, back or breast, or soreness in any part of the body almost immediately.

I slipped my arm into his and ! silently entered the diningroom with ; him. Strangely enough all through our almost silent dinner, the thought uppermost in my mind was not Jim nor vet my loss in selling the ear. What troubled me most was the fact that Lyons had lost his posi tion with us*—the situation in which he felt the need and had the stimu lus to keep straight, to do the right. What would this sudden dismissal mean to Lyons and to Bertha, the woman who nas stuck by him all these years, and who felt him safe, so long as he was with us. What job could be obtain now? How would be conduct himself when away from Bertha? The loss of the octagon gold piece came to my mind. It came as a shock. Could Lyons have found it— found it. perhaps where I had drop ped it knotted in my handkerchief —and kept it? Would he think, would Bertha fear—supposing she knew of it—that this was the cause of his discharge? Of course, 1 didn't know that Lyons had taken the octagon, nor even that he had seen it. But the whole situation loomed in my mind as an emergency, as somethiug about which 1 must take instant action. Leaving Jim to finish his dessert alone, and giving but the flimsiest excuse, a forgotten message to Vir ginia, 1 hurried to the telephone. Oddly enough. Jim didn't protest. He seemed content to dally with his dessert and to play with his demi-tasse. This came to me even while 1 spoke to Bertha, who. luckily, answered the Dreamwold phone. Without wasting words or minc ing matters I told Bertha just what had happened—for as yet she knew nothing of her husband's dismissal —promised her that 1 would try to place him and stoked her to have him call upon me. in the morning., The gasp with which she received , my explanation told me how deep I the shock, how great the fear was to her. "Oh. Mrs. Harrison. I must find him quick!" she wailed. "What will lie do! What will he do!"

It was an undiplomatic thing to do, this "freak" of mine in order ing my sister-in-law's maid to come lo me without asking Jeanie's per mission. But I was urged to the action by the noise of Jim's chair pushing back from the table. In au other moment 1 knew that he would be within hearing, and I didn't wish to add this annoyance to his burden whatever it might prove to be. "With a hurried "Bless you. ma'am," Bertha hung up and I swung around on the telephone chair to face my Jim. The tenseness had in a measure fled from bis face, but the gravness still was there. And his voice held a metallic ring as he tftid: "Got a minute you can give me now ?" He was seeking a note of playful ness. hut I sensed rather than knew hhw much the' effort cost. Even now I didn't understand. As I look back upon that moment 1 wonder why I didn't comprehend, why 1 did not help him tell me what he had to tell me. And yet how could I have known? Jim didn't put his arms about me as another man might have done with his wife. Xor did he even put one arm about my shoulders as a comrade might have done with an other comrade. He simply slipped his arm through mine and led me into the livingroom, releasing me to close the doors behind us that we might be secure from interrup tion, safe from ears that might even innocently hear. "I'm worried, dear," he said, limp ing about the room nervously, then back to face me on the couch to which I had sunk to rest. "Wor ried more than perhaps you can imagine. Say, you haven't been watching the market recently, have you ?" "No." I confessed. Then I cajight the glints of his eyes in the gray ness of his face. I began to com prehend. "Why. Jim!" I cried. "What's the matter? You haven't —you aren't?" "Perhaps 1 am whatever you may mean;" he laughed in a tone far different from any I had ever heard his voice hold. "Here's the straight of it. There's something funny about the biggest of the oil wells on which I have been plung ing. I've got to tell you about It. Listen." (To lie Continued.) ORDER) SEW PLEBESCITE Romr.

Herman Tausig, toastmaster, who, after giving a brief description of bis opinion of what advertising stands for and what the Harrisburg Advertis ing Club anticipates, introduced the speakers of the evening, the first be ing John K. Fox who is president of the Mechanics Trust Company, and spoke on "The Relation of Advertis ing to tlie Banker.'' Mr. Fox said that while advertising could be made use of in a delicate way in the bank ing business, the best results could be obtained by courteous treatment from tlte bank oit'ieials and real ser vice rendered to all patrons. He stated that lie is a firm believer in all high grade advertising. He spoke of the great force advertising had been in the recent war, and how it hud called men from their firesides and sent tlieni marching in khaki and that he- believes advertising has now a high place in the world and is build ed on confidences. The next speaker was William Strouse, one of Harrisburg's leading clothing merchants, who was a mem ber of the War Economy Hoard at Washington during the World War, representing the Retail Clothing As sociation. Mr. Strouse gave statistics gained by his long experience in the clothing business and mentioned tlte great amount of wool consumed dur ing the war which was three times the amount produced in this country. He gave many thoughts along the pres ent clothing shortage and the reason of the high cost of the present day clothing. The next speaker was Attorney John R. Gcyer and he reviewed "Ad vertising as It Affects the Attorney." He mentioned that while it is uneth ical for lawyers to advertise, he be lieves sincerely that advertising lias dignified its right to reach for high er tasks and that advertising has moved the world to greater deeds, that if each man put the same amount of brains and energy behind Ills ad vertising that hp did in his business j generally, he could not help but prove j successful. Lieutenant-Governor E. E.' Biedle- I | man, was next called on and his prin cipal theme was "Truth in Advertis ing and What It Meant to the Pub lic," that effective advertising first] started in the business establishment, in service rendered to the public. He i spoke of the personal touch and what 1 it meant to eaeh merchant to back up ] the spoken work in the printed mea- ; sage. H. T.
