"If only I could live the time over!" Jessup moaned, dropping his head in his hands. + "So you could spend it putting | frills on folly already quite sufficient," bis sister Prue answered stormily, but | | of fun breaking | | through, the storm. "I've wondered | | | | | | {with a glimmer all aleng why you didn't ask her to | | adopt you as an older son Mstead of | to marry you. Ever 30 much more | suitable--" "Shut up, will you!" Jessup cried tensely. He was hard put to it to { keep from swearing. Prue, his twin, | bis pal from cradle days, was in 'most | things wholly privileged. But not In {all. She must not blaspheme - his | grand passion for a goddess of whom (no man coyld be quite worthy any* {more than he could be quite insensible { to her charm, | The years betyeen? What did they matter? Love laughed at Time even more than at locksmiths. Her | soul was vernal as the first flowers of | spring in spite of a loutish lad some- { thing taller than Jessup himself and | three daughters all in the stage of gig- | | gle and squeal, Kipling's Venus An- | nodomim over again, he thought pas- | sionately--only she had not frittered away her widowed years in endless flirtatiens. { Instead she had Aeen a fnodel moth. er, a close student of deep things, and |'as such the inspiration of sundry up- nee mevements upon the part .of three | rectors who had come inte the Gurley' | millions--given in fee, because, said | the testator, he knew they would be | put to good use. | Since she 'had néver known pinch- | ing poverty the money had not gone to her head. Rather te her feet--she admitted openly that she loved danec- ing even better than good werks, and now that she was rich enough to In- | | dulge ter whims, took her fill of it | when and how she chase, Thus Jessup had come in--she had | found him "a divine partner" and had not hesitated to dance with him the | newest measures--a privilege refused [to all others. "The dearest fellow! | So handsome, so gallant, with--well, 11 don't know how to call It better than | such a way," she cooed to disapprov- | Ing dowagers. To the girls she eclipsed she said blandly he was a Knight of the Round Table, born eut \of time and to be prized and used ac cordingly. That had made Prue foam at the mouth -- metaphorically, of course. She was too well bred to say, even to look, what she felt, The joint birth- day to the contrary notwithstanding, she was years beyond her brother In world-wisdom ; further, she had the intuitive feminine comprehension of another woman, Mrs. Vane was giving rein new to youthful exuberances, suppressed by an early marriage, crowding children, and the careful economies made neces- sary by their needs. To speak col- loquially, she was having her fling-- having it good and plenty. Prue had been unwise enough to voice her um- derstanding of the fact to Jessup, say- ing loftily: "She has had always te stay outside the toy shop windows, | so it is not strange that now when she is up front inside, she fis rang greedy--" h "No! Generous--in everything." Jessup had interrupted. Prue had nodded: "That's so! Then I wonder o 18 she collecting articles of bigotry and virtue, such as young men, to parcel out later amon§ her girls?" Then Jessup had actually sworn out loud and flung away to stay over the week-end., Mrs. Vane had asked. him to spend it at Brook Burn. He went thither in Cupid's rosiest airship with all the doves of Venus circling above. He came away leadenly, ac- companied by gloems In such legions that had ther beer ponderable he Sir's!

Immediately after a "'Danderine" massage, your hair takes onfnew lifa, lystre and wondrous beauty, appear- ing twice as heavy and plentiful, be- cause each half seems to fluff and thicken.

Something In it melted his hard resolve of silence. Brokenly, now and then guiping, he had told her ot his 'discomfiture. His goddess was still 'a goddess, but there loomed be tween the awful shadow of another, s man almost elderly, fat, plump, ever pudgy, who chuckled the gigglers eact under their chins, and spoke to Jessup unctuously as "son." The wedding TTT ' Mrs, Vane, smiling and blushing beautifully, had asked Jessup to be chief usher, adding that he was the very first among her friends te hear the news. Do it? Of course--if {1 killed him. That is to say, if he man aged to live so long. Then he hae 'breken into a plaint over wasted time which had set off Prue's temper like s pin wheel. She looked at him narrowly--he was shaking like a leaf. Something must | be done--and at once. Before .she could fix upon the something, fate-teoh | a hand--in the unromantic guise of 5 | stubforn cow. The immediate result of her stubbornness was the irruptior of a slim girl with tangled hair and muddy boots, who said plaintively "Flease, please, will" anybody help me drive Susan home? Soon as I get her headed right, she balks--when I start her up, slie runs backward, the wrong way. And if I leave her till I can get Farmer Brown to come for her, you will not have a sweet pea left--she loves them so 1 almost believe she broke out to get at them." "A clear case of ox in the ditch-- or worse." Prue said cordially: "Of course, we'll help you. John, get your golf sticks--it will make me so glad to see them for once really useful" "I forget my manners--please,' I'm Rose Mayberry, just come to be your ITT A TT] pling and blushing beautifully, sud- denly conscious of her dishevelment and that her kilted skirt had a long sidewise tear. But--the blush was her sole apology --in the driving later she shewed her- self nimble of foot. and of wit, also that she 'was fearless, graceful and good to look at--especially under the rosy light of a sun just setting. - More- HTH her--to judge by her effect on Jessup. He insisted manfully on making fast Susan's broken stall, in spite of Mother Mayberry's gentle protests. Rose fetched hammer and nails, holding the nail box and passing them out deftly as required, smiling ap- proval of his resounding blows, and much concerned when he came near mashing his thumb. The upshet was a call as prolonged as it was formal-- the new meon was almost down when the Jessups left the Mayberry perch. Prue was too kindly wise to speak her thought--which had to do with "catching in the rebound." But six months later she sald teasingly, one arm about Rose's neck, the ether hand clasping John's bread shoulder: "Rosy, you are a heaven-sent special providence. John never would have believed without seeing it that daugh- ters can be--as charming as their mothers." "And them some," John said, hug- ging both of them tight. "Don't mind her parables, Rosy; like herself, they are idletic and harmless." MEAT COURSE NOT INVITING Guest at Eskimo Banquet Forced to Choose Between Discourtesy and a Repulsive Meal. The feast had already begun when The men were sitting in the open, behind some sealskins which were hung In frent of the opening of the tent in or der to keep the cold wind out. They were ali dressed alike, in blue fox and polar bear furs, and each had a _"pfilaut" or butcher knife in his hand. They cut into the carcass with these krives dripping with blood, and tore the raw meat with their strong, beautiful teeth. In the midst of this savage-looking entertainment, however, there was apparent the most genuine courtesy. The men often helped each other to. what they cen- sidered the best part of the seal, and the host, sélecting a huge piece of meat, handed it to me with the smile of a gourmand, saying: "I hope you will find™It to your taste." .I took the meat and thanked him. but sat down at a little distance from the others, fer I hoped Ig an uneb- served moment to give the nauseous mess to the dogs. As usual, on such occasions, they were standing arcund as closely as they dared come, greed- {ly watching thelr opportunity to snatch or catch a bit of the meat. Alas, my hest, anxious. I suppose. to see that I was happy and satisfied, kept his eyes on me! And (when he saw that I was In no hurry fo eat the meat, remarked kindly: "Yes, it smells so good it is truly a sin to eat it, but let it sink down Into your stom- ach, anyhow--I will afterward give you #nother piece to smell. on!"-- Christian Leden in World Outlook. 1" TTT] [TTI NH One Way to Wash Bedding.
