"Good afternoon, Mrs. Josselyn," Ryan said. Ellen, smiling faintly, tried to read his rosy, complacent face. "This is a most extraordinary torn of events," he said. "This little fellow had the secret np his sleeve all the time, eh?" Ellen felt almost faint with the revulsion this change in his manner gave her. Ryan bad always been •harp, suspicious, menacing, before. 8he wanted to ask: "You believe It, then?" bat quick Intuition told her that that mast wait. So she asked Instead: ^ "Tommy talked, did be?

With the baby on one arm, rind the big suitcase in his free hand, Joe* went to the waiting rnolor, and Lizzie, carrying tire little suitcase, followed. He put nis wife and baby in the tonneau, but was too nervous himself to Join them there, and walked up and down the sidewalk instead, turning bis head whenever a screen-door banged, to look for Ellen. Suddenly they saw her. In a doorway a hundred feet away, talking to some other marketing woman. The saiue Ellen, with her blue honest eyes and to say to you," she added, a little uncertainly. **wa»--I thought I would Just tell you--* They were appalled to hear a sudden thickening in her voice, and to see that her utmost effort could uot keep h«r eyes from watering., "Yon know that Oibbs hasn't been well, don't you?" she asked, hastily. "You wrote that he wasn't well, some time ago--" Joe begun hesitatingly. "You'll see--a change," Ellen added. "And of course you mustn't let hhn see that you see It." Sfae lost control of her voice again. "I should think this climate would build him up again," Lizzie ventured, a little timidly. Joe looked at her gratefully, and Ellen quickly grasped the thread of comfort. "Oh, Lizzie, It will--they all say It will!" she taid, eagerly, wiping her eyes. But immediately they brimmed again, and the dark head and the crushed white hat went down on the back of the seat; she burst Into tears. "Oh, Joe--Joe--Joe! He's not going to get well!" she sobbed. .1 •" v. >'•' "Ellen!" Joe said, aghast. '" : "Oh, I know it," Ellen snid-presMJ«y, lifting her head, and resolutely regaining her self-control. "I know It ! 1 am sure he does, too. I'm sorry to break down this way, but I don't often have "a chance," she added penitently, with a watery smile. "I never let him see that--that It's killing me, too." "But, Ellen, what is It?" Lizzie asked, fearfully. great front veranda, ai here Ellen ran with the baby. f "I wa*t you to meet Ellen Latimer, Glbbs--!" It was well thajt they bad been warned of what change thr*y might find in him, for Lizzie caught a quick breath as she saw him, and it required all Joe's presence of mind to go forward and greet him naturally. He was still handsome--Glhbs would always be that. But he was painfully thin, and seemed strangely aged. His dark, splendid eyes shone In a thin face whose temples blazed sometimes with an uneasy color. The ring he always wore was loose on the fine long hand. His hair was an even silvery white. Ills manner was changed, too. There was a gravity, a sweetness and a certuin heroic serenity about him that seemed to lift them all Into the plane of simple endurance and renunciation. Lizzie and Joe knew, as they settled laughing into porch chairs to talk to him, that Ellen's worst fears were none too grave. Like Gibbs himself, they must accept the thing as a finality. There was no dispute. They fbund themselves snd denly confident and gay, as human beings, forced to accept their own helplessness, usually become. This was in the nature of a catastrophe; it was almost as if they had come to California to find ti nt Gihhs was dead. The exquisite hours went on.

"Th«>re Is M question for a Jury. I don't know of a parallel case," he snld thoughtfully. "But I should suppose that It would only be necessary to put this evidence before the court, with suitable testimony to its genuineness, to have the whole case dismissed!" He turned to the warden. "May we see Mr. Josselyn?" he asked, with the quiet manner of a man making a request sure to be granted. Glbbs, followed by the inevitable guard, came In, and they turned to him. His silver crest was. as always, as smooth as satin, but he looked illgroomed and haggard; worst of all, he looked beaten. There were leadcolored circles about his dark, anxious eyes, and his manner had uncertain nervous apprehensiveness that was $Rlike its old Imperial certainty. "Mr. Josselyn." Ryan said, "has jrour wife informed you that we have fotind some most important testimony ^ bearing upon your case?" "You regard It so, Mr. Ryan?" Gibbs said lifelessly. "I regard it as more than Important. I regard it as so vital that I feel free to congratulate you upon It, Mr. Josselyn, upon a miraculous escape from an error of the law. And 1 hope to God," Ryan added, "that we will soon find means to jet you out .of here!" ^*1 thank you," Glhbs answered But Ellen saw his lip tremble. • ^"Gibbs--my dear, dear boy!"

A moment later the harsh, whitewashed walls anai the rodded doors, the warden's desk.N and ^ ttie tall, hare windows, vanished. She ssw them all blur together, like a pictore in a bubble, and, like the bubble, suddenly become flecked with wlden- I lng black spots. Then everything was | Mack: CHAPTER XVII so well--! After awhile I wrote the kta a quiet September morning, jut a year and a half later, a young "tahan, his pretty wife and thfelr very '^•tnall baby got out of the long train pf dusty pullman coaches at the dry, ||eepy little California town of Los " itonios. After a smiling survey of the scene, ^ jrln^ which they were apparently * j|ntlrely unnoticed, the man crossed the Cftreet to the bank, and asked a question of the teller. J "Sure you can; you can phone from .yiiere," said that delicate, blonde, mus- : , tached official pleasantly. "Phone Mur- - jPhy'8 g»™ge, and they'll take you up there. The Josselyns who have the old iPerry place, isn't It? Sure, it's about islx miles out of town, up in the hills" He meditated a secondhand then, with a burst of Interest, he added. "Say •Mrs. Josselyn was in here about a nilnate ago! Know her car? It must be ~ right outside here." - J i i And he obligingly stepped to the : : •door with the newcomer, and looked tip and down the street.

"If you get in there ant) wult for Mrs. Josselyn shall •»t of somewhere." ^Hiiroer went across the street took the baby from Its eyes feJi upon the bundle in Lizzie's arms, across which Lizzie must lean to return her fclsa. "But--but--what!" Ellen stammered. "You--you two haven't got a baby?" Joe thought that one moment was worth all the fatigue of the long trip. "Haven't we?" he said, as Ellen, standing on the curb with the precious bundle in her arms, opened the tissues that screened the tiny face, and bent her f>wn cheek against* the warm, unresponsive little cheek. "Well, 1 have never had such a delicious surprise in my llfeJ" Ellen exclaimed. "Yon darliug!" she crooned to the baby. 'What Ud you name him, Joe?" "We thought a good name for him would be Ellen," grinned Joe. It was good to hear her old laugh again, and see the pleasure In her eyes as she glanced from face to face. "Named for me? My own tiny niece! Ah, Joe, you make me proud!" She gave the baby hack to Lizzie, and stood for a moment, resting her hands on the car door, and still trying to regain her breath after the ^surprise. "Well, now, I'll take you home! I may have something else to do while I'm In town, but It has gone completely out of my head. If I have! I can't wait to get home, to show Gibbs what I've brought with me!" Talking of little, - Inconsequent things, as those who love each other, and who meet after years, always must do at first, they drove through the dusty street, and past flat fields where great oaks threw (dots of shade on the shining brown grass, and so climbed a curving road into the hills. Here nnd there on the slopes a brown bungalow clung, half-hidden in trees. Ellen pointed at a sloping roof, halfway between the ridge sdd the shore. "That's the house," she told them. "It belonged to a Mr. Perry, who knew Gibbs, you know, and he loaned It to ns at first. But we loved It so we couldn't think of moving away, and a year ago Glbbs bought It." "It's a wonderful life to me," Ellen admitted thoughtfully. And as she made no motion to start the car, but sat twisted about In her seat, looking down vaguely at the sea, Joe wondered again what that new look In her eyes meant. "We can't get enough of It," she added. "It's all so dellclously simple. and so free: like being children again. It's taken us back to our summers In Brittany. George and -Harriet "were here In--in July, I think It was. Glhbs' friends are always going nnd coming through San Francisco, and they come down !*• "Lord, what air!" Joe said, with a deep breath. The sweot odor of the pines was drifting «iirough the still warmth. "Oh, It's marvelous, Joe. December is apt to have days like this, and February Is a great month for picnics Ellen said, eagerly. "What I wanted bushy hair dampened and combed amid a tousled mass that had not been touched. Yet even In Tommy Joe saw the change that a great shadow brings to even the children of a household. He was all tenderness and devotloh with his father, and he had a most uncliildish fashion of entering Into his mother's mood. When the grass under the oaks was barred with straight lines of shadow from the sinking sun, and a lingering twilight fell flat and soft over the ocean. Tommy, like the others, fell silent, his dark head resting against his father's arm, a big book opened on his knees. And when Ellen presently called him, there was non6 of the usual childish protest. He went In, and they heard Ellen's fingers on the piano, and then the tones of his violin. "He plays wonderfully!" Lizzie said, when the simple air died away. "He plays well for such a child," Gibbs conceded. "And he loves It, which is half the battle. I hope Ellen will make a musician of him!" Lizzie winced away from the quiet Intimation that Ellen alone must control Tommy's destiny. Glbbs was silent again; the others knew that he Baw the Ellen of the years to come with the growing boy beside he& mmM '•"it-'ttrtn,""tftfr'-'rife t r f i w e e t e s t , comes once in a lifetime when the first party dress Is selected, says a fashion writer in the New York Times. Nothing has ever seemed or will ever seem quite so Important and nothing has ever been known to give more satisfaction, more beatific contentment. It is the early dawn of that peace of mind and poise that come from the feeling that one is well dressed, and to the woman of discriminating taste this feeling Is of supreme importance all through.. Her life. Whenever that great event happens, whether it is just a children's party or something more pretentious a few yeare later, the occasion is never to he forgotten. The frolics of very little people mean to them a fresh frock not too good to be spoiled by play. The real thrill comes when the affair is a real party. Parents who have the understanding that all properly trained parent^ should have make a supreme-effort to meet the occasion, and a clever couturlere co-operateS with more entbu- CHAPTER XVIII 'I Cant Belttv, W,'r« H.r,!"

Perhaps It Is my own fancy, partly. And. Joe--what a year we have had! A whole year of paradise, nothing bnt each other, and Tom, music, and books and the garden, and the ocean! It has blotted out all the bitterness--wiped out the past. The Perrys called the house 'Arcady, and we've kept the name--at first for convenience with the tradespeople, but now because we know it fits!" She started the car down the grade, presently turning in at an opening In a stone wall that was so smothered In vines, so closely surrounded with the color scheme of greens and browns about It as to be almost invisible. "Ob, pretty I" Lizzie said. Involuntarily- "This is the house," Ellen smiled. "Welcome, you darlings! Give me that angel, Lizzie. I want to show her to Glbbs!" She led them through the wide side hall, where great logs waited In a stone fireplace, and bowls of flowers glowed in a tempered light. A glass double door gave upon the Colony of New Haven Had First Blue Laws In 1715 It was ordered by the general court that ii suitable man be appointed to construct a code of laws for the New Haven colony. The appointment fell to Governor Eaton and he was instructed by the general court to study the laws of Massachusetts colony, and also the, "Discourse on Civil Government In a New Plantation," by Reverend Mister Cotton, to aid him In his work. Governor Eaton promptly Issued a code of laws, many of whlcb were from the Massachusetts code. Duly presented to the etderg of correct Jurisdiction, the fruit of the governor's toll was by them approved and passed, says the Detroit News. The general court, moreover, ordered 500 copies to be printed for ew Haven colford, Windsor and Wethersfleld and wild adjacent territory. The term "blue laws," therefore, undoubtedly came from the fact that the first printed laws of either colony, being those* of Governor Eaton, were enveloped In blue paper. 8o the code of Governor Eaton comprised the real and original blue laws and since these were enacted for New Haven colony It Is further established that they should be called -the "blue laws of New Haven colony" nnd not of Connecticut The laws of other colonies were also used In constructing the code and many of them are at the present time upon the statute books of Connecticut. Many at the better laws of that state today are founded on them. gry Nqr Haven • Truth Show* ItamU Triilfh makes the face of that pereaks and owns If.--- two or three days later Glbbs proposed a beach luncheon. Ellen, brightly indifferent when he first suggested It, was fired with sudden enthusiasm and delight when It transpired that be himself planned to go, too. Oh, he is better!" she said over nnd over again, as she buttered bread nnd trimmed oiled paper. They set off In a straggling line: Tommy leaping ahead with his dog, and circling them as senselessly; Glbbs and Joe following, the latter with his tiny daughter held safely In his arms. I have neve;- seen a man as Infatuated with a tiny scrap of humanity as Joe Is ivlth the hahy!" Ellen smiled. T>oes It make you Jealous, Lizzie?" 'Oh,* Ellen, no!" Lizzie said, horrified. "I didn't realize--I don't think he did--what the baby was going to mean!" she added presently. "The night she was born--I'll never forget his face! I had been III, you know, all the time, and I had thought sometimes that I mightn't live, and that that was the way it was nil to end! And then came that fearful pain and--'bewilderment--" I know!" Ellen nodded. Ana when I suddenly came out of It all, and found there was nothing wrong, but n sweet little girl asleep In a crib, why, It all seemed to clear Itself!" Lizzie explained. "1 said to myself. Ellen, that the past was gone. I was Joe's wife, and Ellen's mother, and the happiest woman in the world 1 If God forgives us. sometimes 1 think it's a sin not to forgive ourselves. So If ever 1 find myself blue, I Just think that." "And the consequence Is. that yoo don't find yourself blue!" Ellen said gayly. •Oh, Tm too happy! Joe--" Lizzie said. She gave Ellen a bride's half-' White Fur, Muff and Warm Leggings for the Tiny Tots. si asm than slie can ever feel In tbo work she does for grownups. It Is a challenge to the Intuition, the taste, the fine sense of propriety In the artist, the making of this party dress, and It Is not an easy task. It Is vitally Important that the young person shall show she Is no longer a baby. Also that she shall not appear too grownup or be dressed too sophist!- catedl.y. We Americans have much to learn from the people of England and the continent. They all delight to dress their children as "young" as possible, which seems to keep them so. This Is what every woman devoutly desires, but the thing that is most elusive among the small fry this side of the water. The shingled head has done much to equalize the years, and the little girl and the debutante are so much alike that the distinction is not always simple. Not any of these considerations discount the importunes of •hat first party dress. The states In ft'wefcr for Mttle gfrls of the difficult age, what angular lines and awkwardness are the rule, have never been more attractive than they are this season. With infinite skill Parisian artists have modified the extremes with which even the children's' and misses' clothes have lately been marked and have seized upon the new features that best become the joimger people. Short Puffed Sleeves. The latest Ideas in sleeves--the short puffed sleeve that gives such a quaint effect In dancing frocks and the long sleeve that adds demure dignity to the daytime dress--are among the welcome changes In styles for children. Another change is the length of skirt, still so very short for the tiny tots, but perceptibly longer for the girl whose legs so quickly outgrow her silhouette. And there are the collar and cuff sets that add such an air of daintiness to a simple frock. These points and others combine to present a Jeune fille style that Is delightful, illustrated in a number of models created by some.of the most Important designers In Paris. People of such prestige as Paquin, Alice Bernard, Chanel and Vloniiet delight In making fashions for young and very young people, giving them all the subtle charm, fine quality and tone one might look for In the gowns of a lady of Importance In the beau monde. In these the most admirable restraint and the nicest sense of fitness are reflected. Many of the little models are works of art In the highest degree In the designing of clothes. Paquin, for example, leaves for the moment his larger problems to create a sweetly pretty, altogether Parisian little party dress of baby bine taffeta, trimmed with border half the length of the skirt, with a crosswise shirring and strips of silver embroidery. Some of this shirring is applied on the front of the bodice, which Is only slightly longer than the normal waistline. A narrow belt of sliver ribbon is tied in a bow-knot, witli ends at one side.C^ In sharp contrast to this winsome frock is a merry one of geranium pink velvet made quite plain; with a suggestion of the dlrectoire in its lines. The waist Is perfectly plain, with a deep cape collar of plaited chiffon opening in front. The skirt, which ends Jnst below the knee, te laid in deep box plaits, and hus wee stiff cravat bows of ribbon sewn each side of the front, as the plaits meet. Of still another quite different type is a robe de style done by a French modiste, in apjde green taffeta. This frock has no furbelows, but the skirt which 1s gathered full to the plain, sleeveless bodice. Is trimmed with three hands of the silk, each scalloped at.the edge. 'This little dress has the air of a "period" costntne and Is quite long. Material Is Important. Lanvin's things for children are usually important as to material, und they have a certain dignity which re- | quires much skill to keep from them any suggestion of maturer styles. One lately showu by a New York Importer Is distinctly smart, of dark Llue vel vet, embroidered on the pockets aud down the front with gold-brown siik The waist Is a deep blouse. The skirt is laid in kilt plaits around the side and back, and is barely knee-length. In another model from this house, a coat of hunter's green velvet is cut 1b straight line with a high, rather military collar, and is embroidered in silver down the front, wrists, and neck. Lanvin completes these chic little affairs by designing for each a variant at the cloche bonnet, and invariably adds ribbon streamers at the back. Black Velvet b in Vogue Black velvet is used by many of the designers of dresses for young girls, and most people consider It well to have at least one black velvet frock In the girl's winter wardrobe. One model Just brought out is unusually smart. It Is cut after the pattern of the latest blouse, almost to the knee, to which is added a slightly godeted flounce having large motifs In scarlet silk chain-stitch embroidery appllqued over the joining. A piping In scarlet silk outlines all the edges of tlie frock, which Is sleeveless and cot In slightly bateau line at the neclc. In a unique and particularly dainty little party dress, pale blue grosgrain ribbon with pVoted edges and shot with silver is used in straight bands across the neck, in stripes down the sides from shoulder to hem, and tied in a bow to hold the slight fullness at the waistline under each arm. The vogne of ribbon In children's frocks Is Illustrated in many different styles. On one delicious little frock, pale yellow moire ribbon Is sewn perpendicularly In strips close together, covering the entire front and back of FREE Tt Mmvtres taMMnWMMMMj •• Mil n».HB ud rOSTPAlB • Herat bottl* of LIQUID VtNtn, Woodarfel for yaaar daUv dustinc.
