This was done, when â€" and it was but ;i moment â€" Lionel entered at the door from the hallway. "Give me that paper!" he said, in a low, threatening tone. "What paper?" said Dolly. "Don't talk like that! The paper you just now stole from Mr. Gan- non's desk!" "Why, do you want to steal it?" "Shut up that baby talk and hand over that paper!" But Dolly was not at all intimi- dated. "Mr. Raynor," she said with dig- nity, "I don't know what you're talk- ing about. I'm here working on my entomology â€" Mr. Gannon is my teach- erâ€" ano you accuse mo of stealing!" "That will do," he said, .sternly, "I saw you. You took a paper from Mr. Gannon's desk.

"Yes â€" the one you were reading when I came up the porch steps." For some reason the man had con- cluded to change his tone. But it was too late, his anger had proved to Dolly his deep desire to get possession of the paper j.nd she was bound he shouldn't. "All a mistake, Mr. Raynor," she said, with her sweetest smile.

"And we found that it contained a dope outfit â€" to put it plainly, some bottles of morphine." "Yes?" "And I want you to tell me, if you please, why you threw it away with such secrecy and care." "Because," Nan spoke with an effort "because, if it had been discovered in my pos.session or if I had been known to destroy it â€" I would have been mis- judged in the matter." "Misjudged? Am I misjudging you now, when I assume that the morphine in question belonged to you?"

"Search me!" said Dolly, slangily, at the same time putting her hands in her two coat pockets, careful nut to expose the slitted lining of one. "On my honor, these are the only pockets I possess, and they are both empty." She stood before him, a slip of a thing, her simple little one-piece frock quite evidently possessing no hiding place, her coat pockets empty, and her piquant face turned up to his own with a look of utter innocence. "Positively, I have it on me," she cried, as she threw off the loose coat, and whirled around before him. "I swear, Mr. Raynor, that I have not any paper hidden about my person." Of course she hadn't, with her coat over a chair-back near by. Unsuspecting her prevarication, Raynor gav« her a perplexed look, even held her coat as she slipped her arms again into its sleeves. "I resent all you liave said to me, Mr. Raynor," she announced with dig- nity. "I will leave you to look for papers yourself. I'm going home." CHAPTER XI. N.^NIY KXri.AI.-.S.

Your husband is dead, and when the time comes, you arc going to marry me â€" " "Oh, no, Malcolm -never â€" " "Why not, pray?" he sni.led at her as at a wayward child. "I'm not go- ing to hurry you. Nan, I'm not even going to trouble you with my love- making â€" but, unless you can look me straight in the eyes rnd tell me you don't love me -then I shall continue to ho|ie, yes, and expect â€" ' "Oh, hush. Malcolmâ€" don't talk like that. I never can marry you until this mystery is cleared up â€" and then -less than ever!" "What do you mean by then less than ever?" "I mean that -vhm the truth is known aboutâ€" about Douglas' death â€" it will be impossible for nie to marry anybody â€" " "Except me! Now, Nan, dearest, you must confide in me." "Nfvttl" and Nan Kaynor's face A courageous professor In North- western University, at Evanston, 111., appeared on the campus the other day attired in a roomy blouse that topped conventional trousers, and left a V-shaped opening at the throat so that the Adam's apple might have a better chance to do Its "dally dozen." The blouse â€" long, trim, and full â€" completely hid the most Irksome and unsightly of human harness, the sus- penders, and was furnished with a broad, loose waistband at the meri- dian of the u6!t Deep, wide pockets set within easy reach of the hands, and sleeves shortened to allow play of the wrists, added serviceability to the outfit. The innovation in cost- ume appealed so strongly to the hab- erdasher who fashioned the blouse In accordance with the professor's speci- fications that he is planning to put it on the market, so that all men have a chance to become more comfortable. This revolution in masculine attire, thus boldly proclaimed In the face of a stupid tradition that insists that homo sapiens shall move about the planet In a somber. heavy sack drawn tl?nt at the neck and thfckly wadded at the shoulders, should In- dee mark the beginning of an era for the emancipation of the fashion-trod- den .nale. I For a generation women have en- joyed freedom from discomforts and i unyielding conventions, have In fact ' audaciously developed novelties In dress that seize upon every beguiling color In the rainbow. Modistes blend.' slash and fabricate so that the femin- \ Ine frock today not only gladdens the eye. but also admirably serves every practical requirement, especially on a sultry summer day when an armored man becomes a w'lted crbhage. ' Let the courageous champion of reformed fashions for his fellows "carry on" his beneficent campaign, and thus usher in .i new reign of freedom. I.,et him add riotous colors ' â€"perhaps deep purple or gorgeous crimson â€" to men's street attire, so that the sedate business suit shall be permanently relegated to the attic and the devouring moth. Let him dis- card that fluttering streamer of use- less toggery known as a necktie. Let hlin originate some dashing waist- coat designs, perhaps even an artis- tic substitute for the old fashioned vest, at present little more than a bulging envelope for pencils, fountain pen, and watch. Let him design a straw hat lhat reveals some touch of Inillvidual ownership. - iid doesn't look like a million other sun-kissed skim- mers. Let this Intrepid crusader try lis wits 0-; tho conventional dress suit and tuxedo, for years strait-Jackets of masculine misery.â€" Chrbstian Science Monitor. South Africa and the Empire London Dally Telegraph (Guns.): The position of General Smuts, aa leader of i party beaten for the sec- ond time, and with little visible pros- pect of recovering its lost groiind in the agricultural areas. Is one of the tragedies of the public life of the Empire. In any country leaders ol hi sattainments, or with a compar- able record of statesmanship in the broader sense, are rare; yet the man who did most to save South Africa to the Empire, and who was amoiig the chief architects of the League of Na- tions, appears condemned t a future in which his genius will have Ittle scope. Slow to Learn Glasgow Herald (Cons.): The post- war economic and political education of the French people proceeded more slowly than that of any other nation.
