PAGETWO OVE'S PRISONER by Barbara Webb en * INSTALLMENT XXXVI Be A of Office Phil did not look so well when 'Beth saw him the next day. His nurse, the same Miss Jones who had offered her lunch the day before, . 'stopped her in the hall and urged . {her not to excite the patient. ~ % "Is he really worse?" Beth ask- er, instantly alarmed. "He had a restless night and I'm Mot nearly so well satisfied with 4his condition today," Miss Jones re- «sponded, © + 'Then perhaps I had better not go in at all." "Oh, yes, he's expecting you, He Jhas something he wants to talk a- ,bout to you, I'm sure, The best "thing to do 1s to humor him, say yes to anything he suggests, and "Just don't disturb him teo much." * "She d!d not add, being toc well \practiced in nursing etiquette, that Caroline's visit the previous day had * 'obviously upset Phil, and that she, ' Miss Jones, hoped Caroline would 4 not come out today. "I saw Arnold last night," Phil sald abruptly as Beth went in, Beth could see he was worse, his fave looked thinner, and his fingers plucked nervously at the bedding. "Did you?" she asked. "Yes, he came out with my moth. er Jast night, and he told us the full story of what you did that day of the board meeting. I agree with { him that it was really magnificent. Mother thinks eo, too." Beth flushed., "Tt wasn't so mueh," she murmured, but she was pleased none the less. i Mrs. Dane "Mother's coming in again this morning," he went on. "I want you , to meet her--she very much wante to see you, too." Beth inclined her head and was silent, "How are things at the office?" he asked presently. Beth began to chatter, told him * to directions for getting there, She was a trifle puzzled, because while Phil assented to all the arrange- ments, look in his eyes. He did not ask her to remain to lunch, but shook of seeing her on Monday, Mrs. Dane walked to tho door of the hospital with her and thanked her Phil, Enough to Serve The explanation of Phil's uneasi- ness---or at least an inkling of jt-- came to Beth as she went down the steps and recalled seeing Caroline coming up them the day before. Of course, Caroline would not be pleas- ed by this arrangement. Probably Phil had discussed it with her and had received a definite check. That would account for his having had a bad night--oh, why couldn't this girl .let him alone? Surely a man had a right to a useful business career. She needn't worry about Phil's faithfulness to her--Phil was the faithful kind; any one could see that. The more Beth thought of it the more certain she became that Caro. line would object saddened Beth, poisoned the hayppi- ness she had expected to gain from working with Phil, | She resented it too, because it was {so unfair. She no longer thought of her love for him very often. It was just something unreal--it had never had any reality excent in Yer own | dreams. She knew that she conld i work side by side with Phil for | years arid never have a word of love Letween them. . She spent the intervening aay: dreading to be told that Phil woulé | not want her--that the plans were {changed But no word cama and { Beth rose and dressed on Monday morning in happy anticipation of | long useful hours. spent with Phil i in his own home, She did not dream | of any cloge intimacy to result from little things that had occurred while them; they would simply be friend. he was away, and had the. pleasure of seeins lim ra2lax, his color im- 4 prove as she talked. He sald no word about his future plans and remembering iss Jones' admoni- tion Beth asked no questions, Let + him speak of that when he was : ready, i | She had been there half an hour i (shan Mrs. Dane came in, "This is Beth," ghe said, smiling at the girl and offering both her!

Beth un. that mother and son looked very much alike, the same square jaw, wide mouth, and eyes with a humorous light in them. But in Mrs. Dane the face was entirely , feminine, gentle and sincere in spite . of the gelf-assured manner, She was ¢« beautifully dressed, too and quite at ease, and Beth hadgan impression that no set of circumstances could » daunt Phil's mother, , "Did you talk to father?" Phil . was asking, "Yes, and to the doctors, too, 1 { even ran in on Dr, Pitkin--that's a , gpecialist we had for Phil," she ex- » plained to Beth, "and they all say it's a perfectly feasible plan Phil, far better than having you chafe in "idleness. They only want you to wait until the end of the week so we can gove you home in #1 ambdul- | ance." "Good," Phil's face lighted up, "I don't mind waiting a few days long- er if I can be sure of getting to "work once I'm home, Jove, it puts mew life into me, just to think of it." : "Home Office" Beth was soon to know what they 'ere talking about, Mrs. Dane dia the explaining. "You see, Miss Shan- ijion, after Phil learned yesterday ithat you had 'saved his bacon,' a« he ealls it, he was simply wild to tind foons way of getting to work again before fall. He talked to me, and 1 talked to his father and the doctors, and as I was telling him now they all agree it's the very thing for "him as soon as he is a little strong or. We have a plan, Miss Shannon, but we can't carry it out withont - gour help." _ "I'll do anything I can," Beth ised i mised. y "I'm sure you will, Briefly, the 'plan is for us to move Phil's files "and so on to his room at homo and 'have you come in for several hours 'each day to take letters and do whatever needs to be done to keep 1's scheme going until he can back to the office. If you are willing to do that I'm sure Phil ed not wait until he can get a- nd without a cane to get at his work again, Arnold has offered to talk to Mr. Nelson about it, but I "somehow feel sure it will go over ' 'without any trouble, You are sure you won't mind coming regularly to to help Phil out, Miss | 8 hou nnon #' I #111 love it," raid Beth enthusi- stieally., "and I'm perfectly sure!

To Be Continued Tomorrow EXPLAINS PASSING OF MUSIC-HALL Blamed for Their Downfall ~~ ad London.--Wl#' has the old-time music-ha¥ 30 largely passed away? 1" ars" of the music-hall world for { 40 years or thereabouts, ought to be an authority on the subject. His opinion, given in a refreshing book ot remuniscenses just published by | Sampson Low, is that the change was not due to the declining taste of the public, but was forced on them by music-hall proprietors and managers. It was so much easier for a manager to get together a Revue company and contract for a long circuit tour than to go to the trouble of building up a programme of variety turns, The managers and proprietors mapaged to rid themselves of the incubus of standing contracts by getting the ar- tistes themselves to break the con- tracts under provocation. They re- lied on "temperament." They put, for instance, a "star" as the first turn on the programme, limited him to one song--and waited for injured dignity to do the rest. Such Machiavellian tactics were only what one would expect 'after having read of the previous exploits of this strange tribe--how they in- serted an "s" after the word "ma- tinee" in a contract (trusting to the artistes' blithesome indifference to business, for it to be overlooked) and then insisted on having 10 perform- ances for the price of seven, (It was this which led to the famous music- hall strike of 1907.) Or how they started a campaign against the efforts of a small company of provincial halls (in which Harry Randall and n Leno were interested, artistically and financially) and brought them to ruin by inserting a boycott clause in all their own contracts, LORD LINLITHGOW WAS SUGGESTED AS NEW GOY.-GENERAL Ancestor Was Lt.-Governor Of Quebec Many Years Ago London-~At the time when Lord Linlithgow was prominently mention- ed as the possible governor-general of Canada, before the Earl of Bess- borough's appointment was announc- ed, it was discovered that an ancestor of Lord Linlithgow was lieutenant- governor of Quebec a century and a half ago. , Henry Hope, who died at Quebec in 1 after being lieutenant-gov- ernor from 1785, was the son of Hon.
