I ale | Ways steer clear of the woman "who | says: "Well, I don't lie to any one. {1 say what I think!' because I know | she is either lying at that moment or | else she has a carping, destruetively | critical envious mind. "But, Alice," I sald, "wouldn't it { be Just as eascy to seethe virtues in- | stead of the faults of other people?" { "I don't think so," she answered. | At Jeast the people who insist that { frankness is a virtue never seem to have anything frankly good to say about any one." Untrue to Convictions, As 1 thought of this conversation I chided myself for being untrue to my best convictions by allowing John to think 1 was asleep. 1 excused myself, however, by thinking that 1 was too tired of it all--too weary of the constant bickering to try to make any more explanations or even listen to his. Again felt myself smiling at John's out actually speaking my name. He drew a rocking chair across the floor with a sound almost MHke a siren whistle; he dropped one shoe after another with a thud; and' as a cli- max, knocked an exquisite statue o! Patience off het pedestal in the cor ner, breaking it into small bits, This caused a pyrotechnical flow of words as he bent down to conside the damage he had done. \ I was al most sure by this time that he knew 1 could not be asleep, but I kept per fectly still, even when he picked ut the gold pocketbook he had given me, from the debris of the shattered st: tue. To a disinterested spectator ths scene would have been uproariousi funny, but I was in no mood for hu mor, : John held the pocketbook in h! hand for .a moment looking at it rue fully. His profanity ceased and gazed at me with the expressic which seemed to say: 'There are : words which can do justice to m. feeling at this moment." Told In Twilight | . 85 » {Cortinyed from Page 3.)

It was many seconds before I could realize that what had brought me back to all the worry of everyday life was an impatient rapping on m dobr. I tried to speak and was not quite sure whether the effort was toc great physically or whether mentally 1 was too inert to make a sound. It did not-seem to matter, however for after the insistent tapping had be come an angry pounding, the door opened with a bang and Madame Gordon entered the room. I did not realize that I was staring 'nto her' face with wide-open eye mtil she spoke: "Good gracious, Katherine, what i: he matter with you?
