MENTHOUAT.UM WHEN SHE'S O At a dance, a visitor in the community, Neal Conrad, young lawyer, is impressed by Anne Chamberlain, pretty daughter of a shiftless farmer, .receiving her fine character. A few days later she accompanies him and his hostess, Mrs. Griffin, on a picnic. At the end of the day Neal declares his love. At Washington, on their honeymoon, the Conrads meet Clarence Hathaway, friend of Neals, young diplomat. The young couple start housekeeping. Annes health begins to fail. Neal, engrossed in politics, does not notice. She realizes she is to be a mother. While Neal is away, Anne has a visit from an old friend, Mr. Goldenburg. In Neals absence he takes charge of the situation. Neal is in an agony of remorse over his neglect. Their son is born. In the ensuing eight years Neals law practice and his position in politics both mount. A daughter has been born to Anne, but her beauty is lading. Clarence Hathaway, now in a diplomatic post In Paris, visits the Conrads. CHAPTER VII Continued 17 I was thinking that I hadnt done as well politically as Id hoped.

Well, yes. I rather thought was your plan. But after all that Hathaway tapped the arm of his chair with his fingers, gazing into the open fire as he did so. Then he asked a most astonishing question. How about your wife? Was she interested in politics, too? Anne? Neals surprise was apparent in his voice. Why, Anne would Interested, I guess, in anything I wanted to do. She shes devoted to me. Yes, of course, I saw that. But I mean has she been helping you actively and directly as well as passively and indirectly? Shes gone without everything, Neal answered, coming swiftly to Annes defense, under the impression that she was being attacked. Good times, and pretty clothes, and trips and friends. I never would have been able to go into politics if she hadnt Once I thought I was going to lose her Id neglected her terribly, and she was going to have a baby, which made it all the worse and I nearly went wild when I realized what Id done. But after youd had a chance to forget about that bad time, you neglected her again? I suppose I did do. But theres never been another woman. Good G d! I should say not! What do you want the Capitoline Venus? No, roared Neal, angrily, what are you driving at, anyway? My dear fellow, please dont think Im venturing to criticize your conduct. And as for criticizing your wife well, I thought ten years ago she was one of the loveliest, as well as one of the most remarkable girls, Fd ever met in my life. Ive remembered her, pretty vividly, all this time. Thats a little unusual for me. And I confess that seeing her tonight has been an acute disappointment. Well, Im not disappointed In her. She suits me. Just wait a minute, cant you? I still think shes beautiful and remarkable. Even more remarkable than Id guessed. But I think shes tragic." Tragic! Yes. How old is she? Under thirty? I thought so. Well, she looks over forty. Shes stagnating, mentally as well as physically. Shes submerged herself in your personality, and your career and your children until shes drudge withnothing but a washed-ou- t out a particle of individuality left Shes done it voluntarily, because she loved you loves you. But she must know, even if you dont know, that she was capable of something a good deal bigger. With her looks and her mind, and her natural gifts as a hostess Neal, you utter fool. Even if you are my guest, and an old friend, I think youve gone about far enough in discussing my wife." Then suppose- we discuss mine for a change. Yours! I didnt know you were married ! Im not But I was." You mean you lost her? Clare Im darned sorry, 1 hadnt heard Yes, I lost her. But she didnt die. She found out she cared for some one else more than she did for me. 1 found it out, too. began by almost ruining me financially. And she ended by almost ruining me diplomatically. Caesars wife had nothing on that of a rising young secretary. Ileft that post InRome, which I enjoyed so much, because I was given an indefinite leave of absence. When I went to Paris, I went without her. Neal found himself more moved than he could have imagined. And not moved enlightened. Clare only had made no comparisons aloud. But Neal saw those that he had made mentally, as clearly as if they had been engraved In flaming letters. Saw, too, how he had injured Anne; ffnd since he could, perhaps, never be entirely selfless, how he had, in injuring her, injured himself as well. Before he succeeded in framing an answer, Hathaway spoke again. "So thats that. And seeing Anne you dont mind if I call her Anne, do you? here tonight brought it all back to me because shes shes so different And youre so lucky and playing against your luck ! Neal managed to ask, What, would you do. If you were I? Hathaway balanced the question.

CHAPTER VIII Neal had come down with a heavy cold which kept him confined to the hotel, but he insisted, since he was not really sick, and since there was so little time left, that Anne should not stay in with him, but should go, as they had both planned to do, and have Madrid. It was very warm for Paris, and Annes beautifully dressed hair, shining like burnished gold, escaped from its net about the white nape of her neck and her white brow, and curled in little soft moist tendrils. Her diaphanous negligee, pale orchid color, had slipped away from one white, rounded shoulder, and she raised a slim white hand and pulled it into place. I shant be disappointed, she said, "if I dont go. There are some letters I ought to write and "Nonsense And I shall have to dress.

He smiled. How happy she had been all summer! It was nearly four months now since they had stood beside the gang plank, watching it lifted, waving good-bto Dora and Junior and Nancy, to Mr. and Mrs. Goldenburg and George and Mabel, who had all come to see them off, for it was a great day for these old friends as well as for themselves when Neal and Anne actually went to Europe. The very morning after their ar rival in Paris, while they were at breakfast, Clare, who had not left them until nearly midnight, reappeared, and mapped out their program. Before they did a single thing Anne must he reclothed. He would accompany them to a dressmakers a petite maison not too expensive but very recherchee, and worthy of being entrusted with this task. And I expect, . he said frankly, that the job will have to be done from the skin up. You dont look to me as if you had on the right things underneath. Nobody has waistlines any more; on the contrary, every one has legs. You dont expect me to go with Anne to the dressmakers? protested Neal, aghast. Of course. Both of us. Husband and interested friend. Theyd think she didnt have any male relatives to pay the bills If she went alone. And Clare was right about this as he was about everything else Neal found himself welcomed with open arms. He enjoyed the welcome at the first three or four establishments then It began to pall on him, and he suggested that Clare and Anne should go without him, while he went around to the American Express to see if, by any chance, anyone from Belford had registered there. But he paid the bills without a murmur, in a glow of satisfaction, as he saw Anne transformed almost before his eyes. Presently she looked no more than her age again; then she began to look a good deal less than her age. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Just the same as an the ice. 1 Confidence Men In the old days It was assumed that the hicks from the sticks were so easily fooled that it was a simple matter to sell them a gold brick or string them on any sucker game. Recent developments have disproved this old belief. Now, it is found that there are more fools and suckers born right in the big cities every minute than cbuld be found in a days search out in the wilds of the mountains or the great open spaces of rural America. The truth is that the swindlers of all types have crowded into the cities and are operating there with greater success than they ever knew when they followed circuses and carnivals and posed as farmers from over in Potter county at the county fair. Almost anything will do to hook a cityite on nowadays. They will bite on the most absurd propositions. O. Henry wrote many stories about people who were swindled. Some of the victims he told about were rural characters but in many of his tales he states plainly that the biggest fools are right in the cities, and he singled out Broadway and Wall street as the If All Bears Not Vicious All bears are not vicious. The American black bear is no more dangerous to a hunter than a hog of the same size would be. Heavenly Bodies in Collision between Collisions heavenly bodies are not unusual; in fact they are occurring all the time in the vast spaces of the universe, although one would imagine that there was sufficient room in the limitless heavens to accommodate all without interference.

A typical case has just been reported by the Washington police. You would think that people who live in Wash ington.with every opportunity to know what is going on in the world, would be proof against confidence games but not so. Recently a gypsy woman fortune teller called at a home and got the woman of the house interested in having her fortune told. The gypsy assured the woman that she was about to benefit by a rare stroke of luck, as the mystic powers were at work all around her, anxious to help her if she would only show her own "faith. In order to prove her faith she was asked to give the gypsy a $10 bill, which the gypsy was to take to a near-bchurch, where a bless ing was to be given to it Then the gypsy was to return and give back the blessed money to the woman. The woman fell for the offer but of course the gypsy never came back. Perhaps the victim was lucky after all, for If she had had more money in the house she would probably have lost it.
