"You said his arrest wag not serf ona." she Interrupted. ' . "No, it Isn't Do you think Mr. Ab bott is a thief?" I asked her plainly. "I did thin so. i m sure now n isn't?-. - - - , "Why?"

Just how that red-headed reporter managed to come back up the drive way in a noisy car without either Hap 1 a. him- wbb an tinav. plained mystery. We botuwere witn to earshot on the tennis courts, and I was not playing. If only Hap had in structed Burrows hot to take the card to Natalie! But he never thought of Natalie, at first, sent back word that , she wbb not there, but on : the 'back of a card -which bore the name "Mr. Samuel Dick, Evening Colum bian," the reporter wrote something sufficiently magical to bring Natalie down-stairs,. and the conversation that followed was sufficiently magical to send Natalie to her room to don a hat. Bhe climbed in the car with the red-headed reporter, and was driven away.' Two hours later she returned, went to her room, and sent Minette to say to Mrs. Hazard that she had a Mg-ht headache and didn't wish to be disturbed. - The Evening' Columbian fell like a bomb Into our midst at Lone Oak Just before dinner. I remember one awful line in that glaring heading:..: "Xlss Arazzis Positively Identifies Linerald Bracelet" . , , Poor old Wlnthrop t CHAPTER XIX. The Arrival of Jo.

Benny Bliss arose, taking his high ball with him, and perched frankly on the stone cop ing until Lydla pulled his coat and gave a sidelong glance in my direc tion. ' 't ' , X. "Where's the garage?" Jo asked ss I came to meet her. " "Vincent will take the ear around for you." I told her. t : . I sounded the buss for Vincent and took her upstairs. It was good to see her again.. -1 felt that she was going to be a strong, firm prop in a sagging house-tarty ' still suffering from, the shock of that awful damaging evi dence against Wlnthrop. When we reached my sitting room she took me in her arms, kissed me and ' went straight" to the point- : . ; . "Now, what's the matter r she ask ed. "Yon look pale and droopy.". "Matter?" ! echoed. "Everything's the matter. ' Haven't you seen the pa pers about Mr. Abbott?" " "Yes, but I mean, what's the matter with you? You dont suppose I think I was sent for about a man I've never seen?" ;y:;v "Oh, it's all over about me now," 1 told her. "Natalie lost a very valu able ruby and accused me of taking it The circumstances were against me, but after we had telephoned for you she told me she knew I hadn't.1 I am no longer suspected." "And Is that all?" asked Jo,, with that same unerring penetration. I shook my head and tried to swal low a silly lump In my throat. "He loves me,' I said. "He is Mr. Hazard of course? Oh, Loullel Loulie!" " She caught me in her arms and drew me close,, and I cried on her motherly bosom while she kissed my hair. ' ' " " ' " "Jo, it had to happen," I sobbed. "He's so perfectly dear." - , ' "They always are, Jo replied with a sigh. "And you love him! And of course you've got to break your heart and give him upl" "What else could I do, Jo?" I asked. "Why, I haven't a penny; I'm practic ally a Bervant I couldn't do anything else, could I?" ; "You could," replied Jo, "but you won't; My poor little girl.". ' After I had finished my cry and doc tored my nose I told her all the queer things that had happened in connec tion with those lost Jewels. She had seen Wlnthrop's part of It in the news papers. I even told her of that mid night chase where Hap suddenly had found himself - in my bedroom, and what Natalie had told me of being sure she had seen the Duo d'Aubigny in town. It wasn't violating confi dences, for Jo' is Jo. She thought it all over, and I was sure she was going to see a bully way of connecting the stray threads of the mystery. She has such a logloaL mind. . But her question rather disap pointed -me. "Is there any one here I know f she asked. "Not a soul," I answered. "There's no one we ever knew who ever poked his nose in the presence of any one who ever poked his nose in this class, Jo. They all are terribly exclusive and awfully rich. I don't believe there's any one here who can think of less than a million, unless it's Mrs. Cutler, and she isn't poor by any means. Of vrn 1 1 . "Jo, It Had to Happen, He's so Per- - fectly Dear." ' " course, I don't count the duke, for he's a duke; he has a title and prospects." "Who is Mrs. Cutler?"; asked Jo. I brought out my list and showed her the entries; then I launched into social history. But it was all too much for her at once; she held up her hand for me to stop. ,. "You're .scaring me to death," she sa:j. "Why, I won't have courage to go down. - I haven't but two dinner .ywna to my name, and tbey great goodness! IU stay tonight and go bo;ne tomorrow,., since you are no lotzer suspected." " ' "' I hadn't Caught of . her clothes. ' I ft ft i P it, 1 1 i Poor, old beautiful Jo I But she al ways looked lovely in anything she put on. I rang for Celle to unpack. Celle knows a beautiful woman when she sees one; arid she never disguises tho fact that she thinks so. She book, ed Jo into a very Bimple black gown that I had never seen before and paused to wonder where she got it then sat back on her heels on the floor and squealed Frenchlly, over the ef fect, as if she were entirely responsi ble for it ; ' . " . ' ; . . ., "Ah, mademoiselle is most charm ing,, most beautiful out oui, oh,- oul oul!" Jo knew enough French to un derstand that. "Mademoiselle hat the grand air; mademoiselle is exquisite! Mademoiselle undoubtedly was. But I stood by with the most beautiful gown Mrs. Hazard had provided for me hanging upon my shoulders un hooked and unnoticed. "Well. Celle," I remarked, "you might quit scrambling around on your knees and give me a little attention. Mademoiselle Isn't going to run away; she is here for a week." - . "Ah, mademoiselle, pardon!" Celle cried. "My sweet, charming made moiselle, I am all contrition. But mademoiselle la soeur is most beau tiful. I am entrance!" m Jo paused in contemplation of her tall, slim, figure In the mirror when Celie disappeared for a moment. "How do you like my gown?" she asked. ;": ; "It's lovely. Where did you get it?" "Made It" - . '.v'''.'V. . '-. I looked at her tolerantly, the way she has of looking at me. . "I may be a ninny, but I'm not that gullible,". I retorted "It looks like a model." ;. " ... , "It Is a model." Jo said calmly. "And marked 'Paris, but . it never saw Paris."' . v" "What are you driving at?" I de manded. -:; , -r . ';. .. . ,: i "The establishment is Madame Oau tier, Robes et Manteaux." - , I looked at her -as If she bad taken leave of her senses, then gradually the truth dawned upon me. : "Then you're not studying botany!" "No, dear, I'm learning a business. I'm already designing. I expect to have my own establishment next year." I Just wanted to sit down and weep I felt that I could never forgive her, never, never! She caught me to her and pressed her cheek against mine. "Don't be angry, dear: I couldn't let you do all the work, And Loulle, I simply couldn't bear the idea of teaching." : "Teaching! Fiddlesticks!" I snap ped. - "Dressmaking! , More fiddle sticks! I wanted, you to have your course In botany, and I'm so dlsap pointed I'll never get over it." She calmly turned and picked up my list of entries without trying to con sole me. : She knew I'd 'get over It. She ran her forefinger down the page. " 'Knew the duke abroad,'" she read. "Which duke? The Duo d'Au bigny, or the Due do Trouvllle?" ' "Why, (he Due de Trouvllle," I an swered irritably. "Whatever made you think it was the DutL d'Aubigny?" "Oh. I think of silly things' like that sometimes," she replied, She stood so still for so very long, while her eyelashes sweet her cheeka. that I began to fidget "Did Miss Agazzis absolutely Identify the emerald brace let as her own!" she asked finally; "Absolutely. It- puts Wlnthrop in an awful hole, and' Jo, Wlnthrop never took that bracelet. He's hot a thief; he's a dear, and there's a horrible mis take somewhere." ,.ss:y;'?-' 'S'-w.L When we came into the drawing- room Hap was lounging near the door waiting for me, quizzically regarding the . animated circle of which . His Grace was the center. John was all the way across the room, sitting near one of the open windows, but when he saw us he stared, got up, nearly up setting a table, and, upon my soul, I believe he would rudely" have inter rupted the duke's Involved speech over Jo's hand if I hadn't Interfered. "My sister, Miss . Codman, Mr. Crownlnshield," I saldln a hurry, for tear, he would actually kiss her be fore I got them Introduced John, who never looked twloe at a woman in his life.;, ,. Jo gave him her hand and smiled. "Mr. Crowninshleld," she murmured in the most approved tone. Jo wbb never cut out for a dressmaker. "Why didn't you tellme?" John com plained, and somehow our duke drift ed into the background. Jo's answer I didn't catch. I won- derea-what on earth John was talking about, what he meant by his question. He tried, to maneuver her to a seat, but I came forward quickly. 1 want you to' meet Miss , Aber- cromble, dear," I said, and drew1 her toward Lydla; and all the while I was aching to -get her to herself and ask her a few plain questions. I was terribly upset .. I didn't Intend to have John falling in love with her, and he' was doing it, for he was look ing at her Just as moony as Hap al ways looks at me. She couldn't mar ry him. any more than I could marry Hap, especially now, with this dress making nonsense, and I wasn't going to have those gorgeous eyes spoiled ; It was all right for me to cry, but not Jo.- . It was a horrid dinner party. Laura didn't come down, which reminded ev erybody of Wlnthrop; - Natalie was late, Mrs. Hasard was plainly worried, and Natalie's vacant chair added an other pucker to her brow. Hap was silly, and kept trying to hold my hand under the table; and I was cross and didn't dare show it. . ' - , Natalie was shockingly late. She didn't come in until after the fish, but ebe was not In the least disturbed. She drifted to her place, all a-glitter with her jewels, which was most un usual; Jewels were saved for occa sions Everybody noticed tbem, but Natalie chose to be unconscious of the stir her late, dazzling entrance had caused. ' Hap spoke across the table to her when she sat down. "Good morning," he said, laughing. Everything was rather hushed and still except lor the clatter of dishes and silver as the course was changed, ani everybody heard It Everybody tittered everybody but, the duke, who didn't, understand it, and Jo, who was never so undignified as to titter. . "I had rather wear them than lose them, dear," Natalie drawled In an swefto a question ' Lydla smilingly flung at her when the laugh subsided, "Who- knows whpn our North Shore thieves will descend upon Lone Oak?" "Don't worry, my dear,"., Mrs. Hax- ard assured her. "There will be a de tective here tomorrow tg look after us au." - ; " "Detective!" shrieked Lydia. "How interesting!". V ."Dee-tec-teeve!" repeated His Grace, struggling with v his pronunciation. "For why have we se dee-tec-teeve?" "For precaution, Your Grace," Mrs. Higgtnson answered him. "We Amerl can believe in locking the stable be fore the horse Is stolen." V ilia Grace gazed at her amazed. Poo, little duke! I wished that I could have been near, to explain it in French. I don't know how he inter preted it. " - . "Well, I'm not afraid of thieves!" Lydla declared. "I always put my things in a stocking and toss it care lessly near my slippers under the bed. It's the last place on earth a thief would look for anything. That's Aber cromble system. Clever, Isn't it?" "Oh. mother keeps hers in h shoe, now," Dorothy burst in naively. . "I've changed again," Mrs. Aber crombie laughed. "Under the 'pillow. It's so old it may be new." -"I've changed, too," Dorothy ad' - Natalie Was Shockingly Late. mltted. "I'd rather lose everything than be scared to death' with 'Your money or your life!' So I put half of what I possess in plain sight on the dressing-table, and hope Mr. Thief will think that's all and go away sat isfied without waking me. Isn't that clever?" "Next!" Hap called, and everybody applauded. . . "I think I have the best scheme of all," Mrs. Hlgginson ventured. "I have presumably a hot-water bottle, but really It's a chamois bag. Now, no thief would ever think of looking for Jewels In a hot-water bottle." "You win!" Hap exclaimed, and he tossed her an olive. I think from his expression that His Grace was a bit scandalised at the proceeding. -"I'm trytng"to devise a method of protecting What I have left": Natalie drawled, "but" she paused for a mo ment, effectively "I shall not tell It" The rebuke was accepted good na- turedly, but the conversation about thieves and jewels ended, at least so far as J the women were concerned, when Mrs. Cutler remarked: "I have a new hat, a perfect beau ty! It came on the last express!" .-. And everybody wanted to know the color, and what It looked , like. CHAPTER XX. ' - The Picture Gallery. I thought I knew Jo. I don't. She had either changed since we separated, or there , were latent qualities in her that I never suspected. She had never been curious, especially about things that were none of her business, but she linked her arm through mine as we went 'toward the drawing-room aft er dinner. ; "Who Is the duke in love with?" she wanted to know. "Natalie," I replied. "Not wants to marry," she qualified, "but "cares for loves?". "If you mean anything horrid, clan destinewhy, I. don't know anything about It, and I don't think you have any business thinking, such things." She merely smiled at my outburst. "Is there a picture gallery here?" she asked presently. . Yes. Why?" , "Oh, no reason particularly: There always is in these houses, isn't there?" No. There always Isn't. , Every body I know, except the Hazards, have their pictures in town." "Loulle, what was the name of the German count who took us to the Spring Exhibition?" "Count Felix von Brunner," I an swered promptly. " j "Of course!" she exclaimed. 'Tve racked my brain for an hour trying to think of it" I turned about and faced her. "Now look here, Jo, you are making me crazy with curiosity. You've asked me three questions for no reason on earth, that I can see, and I want to know why." ww as aa v Va l aaUW fceJTJ VUsj question I expected you tc ask." Jo smiled quizzically, . Suddenly I thought of it "Where did, you know John?" I de manded. ' , x j . ; "He has a client who wants to buy our stock in the mine," she answered; "a client who thinks he can pump It dry." .-. "Can it be done; Jo?" "I don't know." .She laughed out right at my excitement. . "He wants to buy up all the stock. He can get it cheap, except ours. He offers us five thousand dollars for it. It's worth nothing unless the mine Is pumped Odd, wasn't It, Mr. Crowninshleld nev er guessed who I was? And of course I didn't tell him." . "Gracious me!" I exclaimed, rather breathless at the prospect "What does Mr. Partridge say?" "Sell." ' -'. "Well, what are you-we going to do? Sell?" "I'd rather, have the Income," she answered. -' "But there isn't any," I pointed out "If a man knows and be does know, Loulie that he can pump that mine dry, .can buy up all the stock practic ally for nothing, except ours, and he lets our little bundle keep him from pumping, he's crazy. And if he pumps we will have an Income.- It's a gam bler's chance, and I am going to take it", -V; . -V - "Yes, sounds gambly," I commented. "What the poker players . call a bluff." " . "I'm not bluffing I'm standing pat," Jo reminded me. "And I'm taking the chance because I want to -end this work of yours, dear, and these silly accusations." We had walked to the end of the wide hallway, and I dropped down i.n a window seat, grossly neglecting my duties and forgetting that my fiends were apt to get mixed. The prospect of going back to that tidyJittle life Jo and I once led suddenly appalled me. ; . "I don't want you to to end It" 1 Htammered. And seeing Jo's amazed expression, I hurried on; "Being Sec retary of Frivolous Affairs isn't lnv portant, I know, but It's my life now. I can't go back to things as they were. I-would never be satisfied." "You can't seriously mean that you want to keep on with this? Being a well-paid servant of the rich?" she asked. "Yes," I admitted. "I'm sorry, dear," she said softly. "Why sorry?" "It's dangerous!" ; "Why dangerous? ' I'm quite capable of taking care of myself. You said so." " -' "Ypu're already In trouble." "Yes,. but my heart's broken now, and there isn't anything more to wor ry about. I'll never love any one else. I haire a good job, and well, I'm go ing to stick to it. And when the Haz ards don't want me any longer tho Dykemans do, and there's a long list of others I won't bother you to name. I've made good in my Job, which re minds me that if I don't go look aftef It I may not have it very long." 1 rose; it never occurred to me that 1 was. pushing Jo out of my scheme of life. "Use the stock to finance the dressmaking, dear, and take a little tip from me you take care of your self!" V'Why, what do you mean?" Jo ask ed, but I'm sure she knew what I was going to answer. "John Crowninshleld never looked twice at a woman in his life; he has looked at you I don't know how many times, for I don't know-how many in terviews have been necessary about that stock, but" I thrust out a rigid forefinger dramatically "beware!" TO BE CONTINUED.) .. Musical Insects. , A carefully trained mind and eai are indispensable to enable one to de tect and to discriminate readily from the general insect medley any particu lar species of musician. As with birds and their songs, much of the charm and pleasure to be got ten from insect muslc-dependa on the emotional coloring associated with it We are enraptured with thehotes of the peepee In spring, or the earlier piping of the frogs, not because these sounds in themselves" possess any in-, trinslc sweetness, but because they recall endearing memories of many happy, hopeful springtimes. They are always the harbingers of another ver dant season. Their plaintive notes add to our minds an emotional warmth and sunshine. The yawaken for us an Inner, subjective springtime.. . In a similar way the crickets and katydids gladden and inspire us with their music in proportion as their notes have become associated In our minds with the emotional coloring of past memories.

"But I want you to be sorry for him. . Don't cackle and rejoice over his downfall.

After dinner tho bishop, as he helped her to put on her cloak. stooped stooped In more ways than one and . imprinted a kiss on her White shoulder.
