SIXTH INSTALLMENT *J.Jhat's very unkind. What mis chief am I in? I've never done you any harm, have I?" . "I should never give you the chance," he answered grimly. Barbara laughed, a cool laugh of amusement. Then she moved away from the fire and tfat down on the couch. "W.ell, tomorrow I shall be gone." she said with a little yawn. Dennis fidgeted. "Where are you , grinsr?" he asked rather- Jerkily. "Home ? you must come and see me some day." Get Pauline to brin? you," Barbara said with a faint mockery, "if you dont care to come alone." He turned ro?nd. looking at her "quarelv. "Do you Imagine that I am afraid of' you?" he asked an errily. Barbara opened her eyies wide; thev looked very dark, like deep pools of stUI water. "My dear man, what a 'Question! Of course not." "That's 'fortunate," he skid "be cause I've never been afraid of a ?nman yet, and I'm not likely to be Wmn now." Brave-sounding words! when in his heart he knew that he was more afraid of Barbara Stark than he had ever been of anyone in his life. i Barbara left on Friday morning by the first train. * "There is no need for anyone to pet , up and &e me oft," she told Pauline. "If the maid will bring me some toast and a cup of tea ? that's all I want. I'm catching the nine something." "It used to be Dennis's train," Pauline said reminiscentlv. "I know It's wicked of me, but I'm so glad he cant go fcack to business yet. It will be heavenly to have him all to myself for a little while. "A second honeymoon," Barbara said lightly. "Well, make the most of it, but not too much of him." Pauline's eyes clouded. "I wish you wouldn't always say things like that; it just spoils every- i thing. Of. course. I know you think love doesn't last, but "It depends whose love,' Barbara interrupted. "But why argue? " We fcan only speak of life as we find it. ! Run along to bed, but dont tell - Dennte Iwnleavlng -early. "Panlinel repeated Barbara's words to Dennis and was surprised at the anger in his eyes. "That woman's always sneering at; me." he said angrily. "I'm damned if I'll haw it. I'll get up and see her off." His wife looked disappointed. Like all women of her type, she loved to make a fuss of a man; she would have been perfectly happy to keep Dennis bedridden for another month; it would have been bliss for her to wait on him. But secretly she rather admired Dennis for showing Barbara he was not a mollycoddle. They had juSt finished breakfast, when Barbara came downstairs. "Oh, good - morning jny children," she said benignly. "Have you got everything pack ed?'* Pauline asked! "I know you're so forgetful. Ill lust run up and look round yew room " She clat tered awav upstairs. hflDpilv assur ^ed that ch<? ? was doin? the right Am*? in looking after her depart HKiff truest in the proper fashion. "You're an early bird." Dennis said "Yes!" Barbara, did not turn round from the mirror. "I've .got to ? catch -the worm, vou see." "Isn't that rather harrt nn Bar net?" Dennic asked ma'iciously. "I heard from Pauline that you are' lunching with him." "He's not the nart'cular worm I . was referring to." Barbara said cool lv. She turned round now and met his1 *aze steadilv. "Y011 don't look in th?, least- like an invalid, you know." ' zsss Dennis half rose from his chair: "Look here ? " he beem imoulsive lv. then stopped as Pauline came clattering downstairs a train "You've left a handkerchief and pair of bedroom slioners and a comb." said Pauline all in a breath. She plumped them down on a. chair. "Where's your dressing case? They'll all go in." she said, "And the taxi's at the door. I do wish' you werSTt going. When shall t see you again? Come down soon, won't you, If you can stand such a quiet cou ple." She liked to think that she and Dennis had been married for years; she was sure he was as hapoy and satisfied to be alone with her as she was with him. She would have ? been bewildered if she could have seen into his mind at that moment. Barbara gave Dennis the tips of her fingers in farewell. "Good-bye. . a?t well quickly," she said, and was gone. Dennis went back to his seat at the breakfast <able. He could hear Pauline's affectionate farewells and adjurations to coriie agatn soon. - Something . in him badly wanted to get tip ahd go to the window to see the last of her, and something elsfe kept Elm sitting unwillingly where he was. Before they turned the corner of the street Barbara leaned out of the window and look ed back at the little house with its shining windows and dainty cur tains. Pauline still stood in the doorway, waving her hand, but it was not for her that Barbara looked. Jerry Barnet met Barbara in New York. He was a square-shouldered, cheery soul, with a loud laugh and an absolute gift for making a hash of things. He boasted rather proud ly that nothing ever went right for him. "Born under an evil star." he would chuckle. "Well," it's all in th<? game of life. I suppose. Awful!" He had failed in business and tailed in marriage, and at the mom ent was keeping his head above water and having what he called a "bon time" because his father had recently died and left him a con siderable sum of money. "I shall lose It all, you see if I don't," he tild Barbara cheerfully. "The only hone is for you to take me in hand and look after things a bit." Barbara raided her delicate brows. "Mv dear man! What would your wife say?" He grinned. "She'd say what she always did. I suppose? 'Jerry, you're a damned fool!' Not so sure she's net right, too." "Thought you were never coming back," he told her, as they drove away in his car. "Gave me an awful turn .when I heard about that cmash. Suoposin' you'd been kill ed. Awful." . 1 "I eot off with a sprained wrist. Dennis O'Hara was badly hurt, though." "So vou said in your letter. Rather nice chap, isn't he? Friend of mine ? Stornaway ? knows him very well; doctored him. didn't he?" "Ye?. I believe so." "He likes him? said he felt rather sorry for him, too." "Sorry for him?" "Yes, unhappy marriage, isn't it? Like the rest of us? eh? Awful!" Barbara paled a little. "My dear man," she said calmly,. ."Dennis O'Hara has only been married six of mine, charmingly pretty, and she adores him." "Dare say she does; it's generally one-sided," Jerry agreed, unabashed. Barbara looked ahead of her down the busy street; there was a little smile on her reddened lip? ? rather a wistful smile. It was nearly a fortnight later that Pauline wrote that she and Den- , nis were coming t6 town. Barbara was breaStfasting in bed, with blinds drawn " against the bright morning sunshine becaiuk? her head ached. She had had what she called a hectic time since her return to town ? late nights, and too many cock tails. and too Httle sleep. She had dashed 6ff a short note to Pauline thanking her for her hospitality and hoping Dennis was progressing favorably, to which Pauline had replied at* her usual length of four closely written pages. "I adore waiting on him, of course," she wrote, with many un derlinings. "But, poor darling, he hatesfcbeing ill, and he isn't quite a saint o\ef it! Still, I don't mind any thing as long as he gets well." Bar bara had not answered. There seemed nothing to say ? besides, she had been too busy chasing night into day and getting herself talked about. She opened Paulines' Second let ter with a yawn, but after the first glance she sat up and rea^ intently. Darling* Barbara : ____ I hive some news for you which I hope you will be pleased to hear, though I am not sure whether I am pleased or not ... Barbara's face hardened. "Going to have a baby, I suppose," She told herself cynically. With an effort she turned again to the closely written pages. ' We are coming to New York for f '? a fortnight's holiday. The doctors I 1 i say Dennis must not go back to business yet. You can imagine how amazed I was when he suggested coming to town and doing some theatres and things! Can you imag ine it? He said he thought New York would do me good. We are coming next Wednesday, and are staying at the Albion, tit's quiet and not smart, but it's central, isn't it? and not far1 from you. I hope you are in town, and not thinking of dashing off anywhere just yet. Den nis has told me to get some evening frocks, and "gave me quite a big check. I shan't spend It till I come to New York, of course, so that you can go with me. Your taste is so much better than mine. Dennis is much better and walks quite well. I am sure you will think he has made a wonderful recovery. I asked Dr. Stomaway if he thought it was the right thing for Dennis to go to New York, and he said, "Let him do what h? fancies." So, of course, there was: no more to be said. Any way, I shall see you ? I have such a lot of things to tell you. darling. Barbara laid the letter down and closed her eyes. Somehow she was not at all surprisedr Experience had taught her that people ? especially 1 men ? did the most unexpected j things. J Wednesday! and today was Mon day. Wffll, she must have a look at her wardrobe and furbish it up a bit. She stretched out a languid hand and rang for Mrs. Mellish ? a quiet little widow who looked after the flat. "My bath, please," Barbara said briskly. "Oh, and get Mr. Barnet on the 'phone." She got up and went over to the mirror, jerking up the blind as she went. Sunshine, wirrn and beauti ful, fell all about her, and with sud den incongruity she wondered why on earth Dennis wished to come to New York.

NORTH CAROUNAN HONORED BY W. 0. W. fi. B. Lewis, State Manager of the Wo^men of AeWorld Life Insurance Association, Appointed to Chairman of the Auditors by President De E. Bradshaw De E. Bradshaw, President of the Woodmen of the World Life Insur ance Association, has appointed as Chairman of the Auditors, E.- B. Lewis, of Kinston. This is one of the highest honors that can be paid to any member of the Woodmen of the World. President Bradshaw said that the appointment of Mr. Lewis is the result of his fine record as an audi-, tor of the association, and as State Manager in North Carolina. It is also a recognition, President Brad shaw said, of the co-operation given to v Sovereign Lewis , by the large membership of the Woodmen of the World in this State. "I am sure that the more than 15,000 members of the Woodmen of the World in North Carolina will be delighted to know of Mr. Lewis' advancement," said Presi ' dent Bradshaw. "The Woodmen of the World has always been proud of its fine membership in North Carolina. Mr. Lewis has done his share in establishing the Woodmen of the World as a great fraternal beneficiary association, with outstanding certificates of in surance now totaling more than 1400,000,000, and assets on hpnd of ?ipore thar. $111,000,000." Mr. Lewis joined the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Asso ciation at Kinston, N. C., the town where he now resides, and was a to the' Sovereign Camp which met in Memphis, Tenn., In 1899. " He was reflected as dele gate in 1901 ^nd 1903. In 1903, at the Milwaukee meeting of the Sovereign Camp, he was elected aa one of the auditors, and is now the Chairman of the Auditors. He has G. B. Lewis also occupieu the position of State Manager in the State of North Carolina for a number of yean, and the large membership in that State is evidence of his successful labors as State Hanager. "Prior to his connection with the Woodmen of the World Life In surance Association, he was a pro fessor in the State University of North Carolina, also served as clerk to Congressman Claude ' Kitchin, for several years. Sunday School f Lesson for Jan. 15: Mark 1:21-34 Golden Text : John 5:17 The verses chosen for our lesson give a swift moving p^ture, from the graphic pen of Mark, of a busy Sabbath in the life of Jesus. The impressrfW given is one of concen trated" power, without haste, i without Test. Mark is at his best in the nervous, rap , idity of the nar^j rative. At the begin ning, we are told that the Master went to the Syna gogue. SUch- at tendance was ha bitual. < See Luke 4:16.) Now there V* **"*" are many people In our day who rather pride themselves on the fact | that they no longer attend Church. They feel emancipated. Such folk net no comfort from the example of Jesus, for He went regularly to the house of prayer, even though He must have been greatly bored, at times, by the sermons He heard. Modern life needs badly the re laxation of spirit true worship af fords. Hie temno, the strain, the ?ocial pressure of our time, are so fierce, that we easily succumb to nervous prostration, or ? "nervous prosperity," as Dr. Grrnfell calls it. But the Master not only entered the synagosrue. He took an active part in the worship, charming those present by the beauty of His words. Then Jesus healed an afflicted man. one nervously unstrung. While few have similar cleansing power, all of us can. as Cardinal Newman bids. us. be "merciful toward the absurd." Next the Master went into the home of Peter. There He contin-. ued His ministry of healing, curing the apostle's mother-in-law of a fever. Finally in the evening, a great crowd gathered at the door and He was able to comfort and restore many of the sick. What an ideal finish to a victorious ' day! How beautifully worship and service are blended! Here we see the Great "Teacher and Physican with all en ergies released, giving Himself to the full! ? . o ? r?
