Margarlt Yorke, an sttractive young woman from New York. & Sompanten to Mrs. Cutting, In rnia, and governess to Mrs. Cutting's small, adopted son, Jip. Mrs. Cutting knows nothing of Margaret's antecedents. Stanley Crittenden, Mrs, Cuttings .nep- hew,, is much attracted to Mar- garet, but she dislikes him be- cause of his apparently idle hab- its. After an evening at bridge Mrs. Cutfing goes to Margaret's room and tells that Mre. Theo- bald of New York, the former Shirley Wilsen, and once Stan- ley's flances, is coming back to get a divorce, At the mention of Cuyler Theobald's name, Mar saret turns pale. The family go to their ranch at Uplands, and Margaret, driving with Stanley, tells him about Shirley's coming. Stanley takes the news calmly. Margaret establishes herself as a favorite with the week-end Suests. After the guests have' departed he and Margaret find themselves faling In love. Back at Burlinghame Shirley Wilson Theobald has settled In the Ferguson house Bhirley attends a strawberry fete where she meets Margaret and she questions her about Stan. A veek after the strawberry fete Shirley &oes to the country club and sees Margaret with Jim. She tries to find out from Margaret Stan's attitude on Mrs. Cutting"s adop- tioh of the child. She meets Stan and has a talk with him and for the first time recog- nizes that Margaret Yorke is her ,Tival In securing Stan's affec- tions. Shirley Invites Stan to epend an evening with her, The next day Stan phones his aunt that he is bringing Shirley to Uplands. Shirley makes herself very agreeable. Shirley and Stan go to a house party at Pebe ble Beach. On his return Stan tells his aunt that Shirley bas about made up her mind to ae- cept him. Shirley (s upset over the"loss of a gold bag. She calls In Qetectives and Mre. Cyt. ting's servants are questioned. Jim, who !s recovering from mea« ales, is taken to Uplands. Stan takes Mr. Kent, cattleman, to the ranch and returns to town. Margaret telephones Stan that Mrs. Cutting ia very 111 and that they have returned to town. Mrs. Cutting's iliness proves fatal. In a short time after Mrs, Cutting's death Shirley finds Stan holding Margaret's hand. Shirley accuses Stan of being in love with Margaret. Margaret decides to take Jim and live at the ranch. INSTALMENT XVII The next morning Stanley, te's- phoned Shirley that he must talk to her and took her to lunch. But Shirley was not interested in hig feelings. "You've never been married de. fore, Stan," she reminded him, "but I have! Everyone feels that way," : "Here's the thing," Stanley sata, "Do we. really lpve each other?" L "Why, cerfainly we do, darling!" Shirley answered reassuringly, as she nodded and smiled to a friend several tables away, "I really ought to go down to the farm tomorrow night," Ne said sourly, angered at her manner. "Is that woman there?" "If you mean Margaret Yorke, ol course she's there! kid stay there, now." 'Stan, hosestly, do you think it's fair to me--" Shirley was begin- ning, when the man interrupted her roughly, 'Oh, for God's sake, drop ft! I tell you she's nothing to me, Come down yourself, it you don't believe me." I can't tomorrow," she decided "But T might Satdrday, And, sweetheart," she added, "we don't have to have Miss Yorke always with us, do we? Stanley made no answer; he was too angry to speak, and she saw it. For the rest of the meal she was her sweetest self, and she left him with her usual upward, pretty smile and a kiss from her gloved finger-tips. Stanley went back to his office, The winter rain fell and fell, And 80 another cold, early evening shut down and another rainy jaorning found Stan at his club, more ap- prehensive and disturbed gn his mind than ever. Sudtenly, without premeditation, he rushed straight from his break- fast into the cold, wet bleak aj, Jumned into the roadster and head. ed for the ranch, When he turned the car {in at "T'"lands™ a shaft of watery sun Base suddenly enveloped the old pl +n, .

Long before he vanched them he could hear th» exvitant voices, They were some hundred yards aknve the pool, up the stream, _Bat'ershy wag with them: all three wer e*in great excitement over the , cn =e of the Ouitito, whose brewn . fInrAad waters had been choked "ar" diverted. under tho bridwe, by . f2"on trees, branches, twigs, all the y=*""'eh that had been washed into 14> «wollen 'course in the late Btn, "Oh, hello!" Margaret said, eag- ser' glving him her cold, wet hand Yard a radiint smile from her #'~inx face. "Will you look at t's villain river! 'Battersby says «thot {11 tear the whole basin out :-anA ruin the tennis-court. We just . fond It!" And then, close beside * him, she gave him a swiftly chang- 'of smile and asked in an under. » tone: "Yon're tired--is everything all right " "And suddenly it seemed to Stan 'that he was not tired, and that everything was stipremely all right. A memorable morning followed, t when he awd she, aided by Jim, wy Battersby, and one of the Mex. | have a little talk?" She and the|ly feans, changed the course of thé] Quitito, . By the time this wag done it was one o'¢lock, snd after the briefest of ablutions Margaret, Jim and Stanley went in to luncheon. "And now," Margaret said after- ward, "now I wonder if we might Jim, superficially sponged by Nora, clad in his little crash wrap- per and conceded a rest in Mar- garet's arms rather than the or- thodox nap, was sprawled 'luxur- fously upon 'her knees. . "There's Somuching 1 want tau) you---something t's very . har to' tell anyone," she bormiamer a second. . "I assure you that I'l{ regard it 4s sacred," Stanley said. "It's always hard to admit that one has made mistakes,' she said, feeling ber way slowly. "This-- the first part, is about mine. I think I told you that I lost my mother wiien I was sixteen, We were both actresses--or Abe was, s0d"I meant to be. It's' a lonely lite, My heart almost broke when I bad to go on without her, Two years later, the day I was eighteen, 1 was married. For. almost . all girl§--young girls, 'marriage, at the first, is oddly disillusioning, I suppose," she sald, "My marriage plunged 'me straight into hell. I don't know what sort of life makes & man like my husband. His stan. dards, his ideas, his views of wo- men were--simply indescribable, He was an animal--a clean, well- groomed, somewhat witty and very rich animal, that was all. Drink, food, sleep, and me, that was what other women, hedidn't hesitate to life meant to him, He thought Jewels ad silk stockings could buy forgivenness for--anything. "It seems too simply to say, to 2 "It seems too simple to say, to a perfectly healthy gir! of nineteen: "Well there was the library, there were studies, walks, books, lec- tures, concerts--!' I know there were. But it was no use! I grew actually sick with despair, I sould- n't shake it off. And then he got farfous with be, tired of me--nhe would disappear f:r days, for act- ual weeks at a time--thers were other women, he didn't hesitate to tell me that, "So finally 1 did what was Ine- vitable, I supopse. I told him 1 must be free, and I tnok his money =I hate to remember that-- and I went away, disappeared He told me that I would be back as soon as my five thonsand was gone, dut I've never seen him since that hor- rible hot Sunday. I Jon't know where he is, even!' "Nothing disgraceful in al) that, Margaret!" Stan eald. "Ab, but that fsn't half!" ghe sagwered, with a rueful smile. *1 took his money, as T sa'd. And I went to a tiny place in New Jersey, where an old woman I knew lived. I hadn't been there for two weeks before T knew that what 1 had suspected, what I had feared was true. There wag going to be--a baby," She began to tremble very mnch, and Stanley reached out, and took her brown hand, and held it tight. "My ome fear," Margaret went on, in & quick, anxious voice, "was that my husband would know. Even before my boy was born, I was only afraid that somshow-- somehow~-hig father would get hold of him and male such a man of him as he was himself. Stan. 1 lived on where I was, T changed my name--and my darling, my darling, was born. "Well, then, winter came. end there was a flue enidemics Tt came fold her that I had been taken off 'to the hospital, unconscious and dy- | 'ing--and that was true. "I hardly grasped it all, as I be- gan to get well. Something had 'snapped inside me, and I ragged on for weeks and weeks, knowing that my baby was alive somewhere, but too weak and too sad to care much--to make any effort. But after awhile I did draz myself to New York, and I saw Trowbridge, and we talked. -There was just one thing in the world I wanted---my baby. So Trowbridge arrarged that I was to come west, and he gave me a letter to your aunt. He said that he knew me to bs a gen- tle-woman, and able to do her sec- retarial work, and entirely accust- omed to small children. "It was just what she wanted; I'd hardly hoped as much as tnat. 1 got to San Francisco here on a Thursday, and on Friday I came down to see Mrs. Cutting. My baby was asleep in gorgeous parambulat. or on the side porch. We talked, snd it. was arranged, and then she walked with me to the coach, and 1 saw my Jim--1 Hadn't seen him for four months! She didn't tell me that day, or for weeks, that Le was adopted, "So the next night T found my- self putting him to bed, Stan, I never dreamed of keeping the sec- ret so long. But to tell it would have been to break my sath to Trowbridge, and to break your aunt's heart, and perhaps to expose Jim to his father agsin, and I didn't dare risk that." 'He doesn't even know there was a baby?' Stan asked, after a pause. "Oh, no he never will!" Margaret said fervently, And for a few minutes she re- mained quietly restine arainst his shoulder, her thoughts far away her breath growing quieter and quieter, and her eyes absently fix- ed unon space. . "You know, T used to think you were so horribly unannoraashable, Margaret," Stanley salt, in the de- licius first stage of intimacy at last. "I had no idea that you would ever really like me or T you! * "I like you thororiMiv,* she told him, in the same businesslike tone she had used hefore. "Ant I home we will always be frien's! Yon see, yorr haing Jim's gu. rdfan--" "And he's yours!" Stanley mar. vellad, musine, ' "That's wh~t has kent ma here, of course, in snite of Shirley's hints," Mar~aret explained, ann.) {ously watehing him. "I'll tix her--she's awfully good- natvred, revlly," Stan assured her. "Onee you are married, von could arranre to have us stay here at the farm, perhaps?" Marearet rurrested, 'She won't want to. be here. very often. Or Jim and 1 conld wo away? He wil! have that marnificent allowance anti! he {is twenty-one, and we can live any- where," Stanley reached for her hand and held it again. "I think this baby fs wakine up," she sald nervously, anvious to es- cape, "and I'd rather he should, he'll sleep better tonight! I'Il get Nora." She went away, and afte- a few minutes Nora came In, to find Jim elimBing over a chair lika a marmo- sof, and carried off the child. Margaret did mot return. Stan threw himself on the coueh and dozed for an hour, and then wand- ered out to the sun-parch. to find the child busv with stone hlocks. "Where's Miss Yorke Nora?" "She's layin® down. Mr Critten- den, She's asleep, I shou'd say, She ast would T tell you gnod-bye," said Nora mildly, "I'm not going up to town!" Stanley said shortly. Has went to his room, and started a fire in the air-tight stove. He felt delizhtful- Iv thrilled by those murmured con. fidences, by that hour of ralaxation, by Margaret's extraordinary story. (To be continued) to us, and my old guardian and friend, Mrs. Packer, was one of the, first to go. I nursed her, 7 fratted over my boy. 1 was afraid, Stan, and T rot the punishment of people who fear." "Yon lost your baby? Margaret, then that's your sorrow." Stanley asked, in a hushed voice. "No", she answered slowly, not meeting his eyes. 'Rut one day I knew that I was 11," "Tell me, where is the child, ther " Stanley asked, "Heln me, she faltered suddenly,' her starngze look leaving his face slowly and fastening ftse!f upon the seen' 1g bov in her arms. "Don't ~--don't make me sorrv I told vou!" "Jim!' Stanley whispe-ed, in stunefaetion, Margaret did not answer In words But she rested har voung cheek acainst the child's splendid mon of hair and shut her ayes, and Stanley saw bitter tears start from beneath the lowered thizk lashes, and thit her beautiful mouth was qvivering. Her violence had half-»wakened the child. She rose, and arrled No to 'the big couch beside the re Then, meeting Stanley's gaze for the time, she came back to her chair and sat down in it again, "Now you know!" ghe said sim. ply. "Jim's mine. He's what has kept me here, what wonld have kent me here through fire and wat- er! " . Her voice broke, and Stan came over to kneel! beside her chair und put his arms about her. "You see, I happened to know old Mr. Trowbridge, Mrs. Cutting's lawyer," Margaret resumed "And he had told me once of her anxiety to adopt a child. * 80 when T know how desperately 111 I was I tels- plpned him. He came at once, Jim was fretting in his crib, voor baby!--he hadn't even been fed, and I 'signed him' away--TI had to. I thought that in a fex hours I would be gone were I couldn't feed him and dress him--my ewn baby. Trowbridge sent his house- keeper to get Jim thet night and to see what she could dn for me, but T had sent Jim to a neighoor's, and she found him there, and they WHITBY DAILY TIMES FOUND GUILTY OF SERIOUS OFFENSE East Whitby Township Man Will Be Sentenced December 20 In the County Judge's Court on Friday afternoon, Harry Phinns, of East Whitby Township, was found guilty by His Honor Judge Ruc of a serious offence against a girl under 18 years of age.

Christmas Ball Another brilliant social funec- tion, was the annual Christmas Ball held in the auditorium at the Boys' Training School on Friday evening. One of the most notable features was tho gorgeous decora. tions in 'the hall and many were the tributes paid to the skill of Mr, Carr and Mr, Hyslop who were re. sponsible for them. The background of the stage, on which the orchestra sat, was a winter scene on a hillside. Tall snow capped trees, a frozen stream and the countryside blanketed with snpw made a most fitting background to the main scene in front. On the north side of the stage stood a giant Christmas Tree brilliantly lighted and decorated and surrounded with a miniature snow bank. Surrounded by huge icicles and banks of snow tho or- chestra sat throughout the entire ball, while on the south side stood a trapper"s cabin with ice hanging from the eves and even the snow on the window sills was not for- gotten. From the chimney came a steady volume of smoke. In the main hall all lights were hung with icicles while the same decorations were a feature of the side aisles. The whole presented a niost ap- propriate scene for this time of year and from the remarks of the guests it appeared to make the room cool and delightful to in- dulge in dancing. The music was supplied by Bur- on Till and his orchestra from To. ronto and the dancé was in aid of, the Boys' Christmas Tree which will be held on Friday next. Alout two hundred guests were in at- tendance. In the ladies' lucky balloon dance in which a hundred balloons were tossed from the bal cony, Miss K. Wilson was the prize winner, keeping her balloon intact for the longest time. H. C. Hud. son, of Toronto, was the winner in the gents' lucky Paul Jones. He and his partner, Mrs. W, E.
