Th« room was empty save for the dii- tolving cloud of cigarette imok*. Landon beckoned to Mark. "A word with youl" he uid hoarsely, closing the door; he wa« pale with rage. Mark stood easily, facing him; there was a splendid vigor about him that Landon had not seen in his poor, rough and ready suit of clothes. It could not be said that clothes made the man, but the man shone radiantly through the clothes, there was something »bout him â€" in this house-broken, scented at- mosphere â€" splendidly, heathenish- ly alive. He smiled at Archie's wrath. * * * "You've lost," he said casually; "I'm asked to dine." "I know it," replied Landon fiercely, "but you won't â€" you'll go home!" "Better fake your defeat more calmly," counselled Mark; "you're not a good sport." Landon gasped with anger. "I've watched you," he said thickly; "you've trespassed here â€" you've dared too much. Now, you'll get outl" Mark's eyes met his mockingly; for a moment their glances ground on each other like crossing steels, then he laughed. "Listenâ€" I've won and I'll stay; the dinner was the acid test, you know. Do you think they'd like you for trj-ing to cheat them? If you drive me out, I'll tell them what you did â€" we'll go together." Landoti whitened yet more. "You've got to go," he raged; "I'll make you, â€" you paid imposterl" * • ♦ Mark swung around in pagan fury; he seized him and shook him. Landon was big, but in the other's hands he might have been a reed. Mark threw him aside like a helpless puppy; then he gapped the money, five hundred dollars, down on the table. "Take it, there's the price; it's infamous, unthinkable; I repud- iate it! I'll stay because I'm asked; because I will! Go out there and tell your story â€" if she believes it Mrs. Lynn will show you the door!" Landon knew it; he reeled un- steadily on his feet; he saw stars, his face was ghastly. He struck the money fiercely and flung it in the fire. As the flame caught it and the costly smoke went up ha heard Mark's tormenting laugh. "Tell them, you've played a mean trick on your hostess; you've done a thing no gentleman should do; a thing to damn vcu socially; go and tell her! You'll suffer. I'll stay," said he with sudden passion, his eyes flashing their flame at Landon. "I'll stayâ€" and you can't put me out â€" the wager's won!" * « * Mark Grant kept his word. He stayed. In the first flush and ex- ultation of his love for Pam he would have walked through fire to stay. But he had no such or- deal; Landon had felt his fingers on his shoulder; the cinch of them had left the young man's muscles sore. He wanted no more of that. He gnawed his rage in silence. He saw that he was trapped. If he told the truth to get Grant out, he would 1^0 out himself in disgrace. Strange to say, he had not thought of that, he had it to digest while he watched Mark's triumph at the dinner. This strange fellow; this heathen with iron fists, whoever he was, had found his tongue; he talked well. Not of travel and ad- ventures, Landon noticed, but of life. He had a horribly lucid in- sight; he saw through people's motives, and he was well read. No one could question that. He had caught Burleson's interest â€" the great man, usually wearied and self-absorbed, listened to him with marked .ittention, studied him, too, Landon thought, as if he searched his memory for that face. ♦ ♦ * As for Pam, she s.it next to Mark and looked up at him with wide, fascinated eyes. He was "so different," tiiat was what all the worsen thought Mrs. Lynn, who liked a new lion first at her table, smiled across at .\rrhie Landon. Her look said plainly: "Thank you; he's delightful!" And Archie gnavv- ed again upon the bone of his wrath. How to get liim out â€" that was the question: Mark, knowing This little Dutch lad stands before shattered house in his liberated home town in Holland. An iiifant when Nazis invaded country in 1940, boy has known only oppression and war, but he smiles as new day dawns for Holland. k, threw him, once in a while, a dare-devil look But M.-.rk himself was not as happy as he looked. The atmosphere of the place was like a hot-Iiouse, fragrant and warm â€" the glow of shaded lights â€" the soft voice.e of the women. Abruptly arose the vision of prison fare â€" fifteen years of it. The dare- deviltry that had made him fling defiance at Landon melted in Pam's shining glance. What right had he, an ex-convict, to sit be- side her, to touch her hand, to look into her eyes? A kind of fever seized him; once or twice it was in his mind to rise and shout the truth at them. Then Burleson held him from it â€" one of the men who had helped send him to prison; who, no doubt, like Fosdick, be- lieved him guilty. Covertly now he studied him; a gray face, a worn old man, grown miglitily prosper- ous, but not happy; he had lost his wife and three ions; riches alone weighed upon him. Did he ever think of the boy he had help- ed send to prison? It gave Mark a kind of impish satisfaction to sit at his table, only he' wanted to shout his name at himâ€" fo defy him. Then Mrs. Lynn addressed him, smilingly. "Mr. Byram, I want to ask you about Stella Byram's wedding. Were you there by any chance?"

The "present" was his wife from Baltimore, Md. She walked into his hospital room and it was th« first time he had seen her in three years. Mrs. Waldt was a gift from a group of Tulsa people who had earned Joe's story. The sergeant had been wounded in France and sent to an Oklahoma Army hospi- tal to convalesce. His wife missed him in New York and she was a working woman of modest means so she couldn't follow him to Okla- homa. So Tulsans got his wife a plane reservation, a hotel room and sent her a stack of $10 bills for expenses. A delegation met her at the airport pinned a gardenia on her and took her to Joe.

Just as soon as you feel the cold com- ing on and experience headache, pains in the back or limbs, soreness through the body, take a Paradol tablet, a good big drink of hot lemonade or ginger tea an<! go to bed. The Paradol affords almost immed- iate relief from the pains and aches and helps you to get off to sleep. The dose may be repeated^ if necessary, accord- ing to the directions. If there is sore- ness of the throat, gargle with two Paradol tablets dissolved m water. Just try Paradol the next time you have a cold and we believe that you will be well pleased, Paradol does not disap- point. Dr. Chase's Paradol CHRONICLES of GHGEB FARM By Gwendoline P. Clark* < i/^ Well now, have you got all those "thank you" letters written; the tree and all the Christmas decor- ations taken down, and your New Year resolutions made? If you have then you have done better than I â€" hut then it is only New Year's eve with me so I have hardly had a ehance yet. * * * But I have been thinking about the new year and how best we can make use of it. Don't you think we often let these winter months slip by without making as much use of them as ^e might? May and June, with all the work that early sum- mer brings, is right with us before we can turn around, and it some- times finds us with jobs that could yery easily have been done on cold winter dyas. What about those housedresses and aprons, those srliQoI dre.'sts for the ki^dfes, and the light-weight underwear that iirr he v,i: diiln't have time to mend before it was put away. It is a great time too, for housedeaning draw-ers, cupboards and closets, isn't it? And of course, some of yoti will do just as I do â€" put things away so carefully you never find them again! And then there are letters to write: and maybe there are friends we have neglected ... the new year is a grand time to check up «n our sins of omission â€" and per- haps clear up a few misunderstand- ings. There are times when the hest of us give, or take offence, wlieii no offence was ever intended. I had an instance of this just re- cently. A few months ago when I was in Toronto I phoned a friend with whom I correspond â€" not fre- quently but enough to keep us in touch with one another. She ans- wered my phone call that day and her voice just about froze me. "Well," I thought, "so that's that!" But at Christmas time I got a let- ter â€" my friend had been in a bad way for months â€" nervous break- down, I imagine, and she said "It it taking me quite awhile to gath- er up the broken threads â€" especial- ly those of friendship â€" will you write and let us renew our friend- ship even if i^e cannot tee each Other very often." That letter has already been ans- wered but had my friend not writ- ten how easily we could have drift- ed further and still further apart. * * • Life is too short for misunder- •tandings; too fleeting for us to bear a grudge for fancied wrongs. In our friendships, in our family circle, and in our social life, couldn't we learn to be a little more tolerant? We cannot all think alike â€" it would be a dull world if AWAITING ORDERS Like thousands of our boys on the western front, this alert soldier •waits orders before moving tank further forward. we did â€" but we can a^rifcast recogf- nise the other person's right tt differ from us iwithout getting peeved about iU So, in this new year, wouldn't it be a good idtt to think, not so much about wh»< it may hold in store for us but rather of what we have in store foi; it. The former is beyond our con- trol; the latter is something elia again. Incidentally we might learn to accept present conditions with a good grace. Do you know I heard of one person who sent an order to a mail-order house for over on* hundred dollars worth of goods. The order when filled amounted to a little over seven-fifty! â- * â- â‚¬ Here's iriple-acfmg speedy relief from MUSCULAR PAIN Don't be miserable.
