Along the line of least resistance I take my calm and cheerful way, and so keep trouble in the and have a picnic every Some. distances friends of mine are always ranting, they hunt up evils to reform, up some hard road forever panting, a weary and bedraggled swarm.

They hope to renal the world asunder and make of it a whiter spot, but it all ends in smoke and thunder, and they're a disillusioned I hold it true that every error will some day shrivel up and fall, but if I were a holy terror, I couldn't hasten things at all. So oft I've seen the ardent martyr go forth to hew abuses down, and in the end he hired a carter to haul his weapons back to town. I've certain rights that should be cherished, men say my vigils I should keep; but if some tinhorn rights have perished, I let them slide and lose no sleep. I've noticed that the people jealous of all their rights are short of friends, and they are bores who like to tell us narratives that end. Let less sculs go never, to battle with windmills or chimeras dire; in peace I sit and deftly rattle a stream of discords from my lyre.

Norman is the kind of a man who has never been known to care for one woman more than a few weeks at a time, and they have than a few weeks at a time, and he and Joan. have been married only a short time when Norman becomes infatuated with Alice Wilson, a mutual friend. Joan suspects truth, but is not sure until Margaret Hunter tells her of it.

The knowledge that Norman is deceiving her drives her to make an engagement with Herbert Livingston, an old suitor. Herbert and Joan go to dinner, but Joan discovers that she is not the kind of a woman' to carry on a flirtation with another man. CHAPTER XXI The Lie. I was foolish to cry for it made my eyes red, and although I bathed them in cold water for nearly ten minutes, they looked swollen and inflamed. I used some powder and rouge and slipped into my most attractive negligee, for I was determined to wait up for Norman, but when I heard him let himself in with his latchkey I had an impulse to snap off the lights and jump into bed.

I forced myself to sit quietly with an open book until I heard his knock. and then, as casually as I could, I called out: "Come in." "Still up?" he remarked coming across the room and bending down to kiss me. "Where were you this afternoon when I called up?" "I've been in town all day," I returned. "I called up the house from the city and Mary gave me your message." "Did you stay in town for dinner?" he asked, eyeing me closely, and speaking in a surprised tone of voice. "Yes, I came home on the 9:35." He had seated himself in one of my low basket chairs, and was lighting cigaret.

But the minute he had extinguished the match and leaned back comfortably he persisted in his questioning. "Where were you?" At your mother's?" I shook my head and laughed. "Why are you so curious, dear? I never ask questions when you stay in town." My heart was beating fast. Could it be that he cared enough to be jealous? A little feeling of triumph sur- Hold Fred Slavens On Hold-up Charge Several guests at the home of William Hyle at Franklin, were held up and robbed of approximately $70 in cash, Sunday morning at 1 o'clock, by three men who entered the house, each with a revolver and faces masked handkerchiefs. Fred Slavens was arrested Monday and lodged in the city jail here, charged with participation in the hold-up.

According to Mrs. Hyle, Slavens was identified as one of the three bandits. He is charged with highway robbery. It is said that the bandits drove up to the house in a motor car, and that they searched each of the guests and took their money, while a camel of cards was in progress. Later they returned to the car and drove off.

It is believed that two women remained in the car while the hold-up was staged. Slavens is son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Hyle. Ale was released recently following his plea of guilty to a charge of petty larceny, after spending a considerable time in jail.

I forgot my headache, I forgot to be tried in the thought that perhaps after all I 'had done the right I showed Norman that. I intended to retaliate he might not think it worth his while to go on deceiving me. "I'll tell you where I was; if you are willing to do same," I. continued in a teasing tone, but my heart sank as I saw the frown that spread suddenly over his face. Instantly all the jealousy that I had been suppressing for days leaped up in my heart and overflowed.

I must. know the truth, I couldn't stand the suspense any longer, but with a tremendous efort I crushed back the words that were rushing to my lips. had dinner with Herbert livingston," I said calmly. "There's no reason- why you shouldn't know." To my amazement Norman threw back his head and laughed. "Good old Herbert, you didn't think I'd be jealous, did you, dear?" "Of little course not." tremulously.

My words came out a be And "Why for should jealous? now confession; whom did you take out for dinner There was a moment's silence, during which my heart beat so loud that I was sure Norman must hear it. Would he tell me the truth? Would he make it possible for me to be happy again, for I could be happy even with the knowledge that he had deceived me, if he told me the truth now. Norman's voice broke the and it seemed to me at that moment that my heart died within me. "I'm sorry that I have'nt anything interesting to tell you. I dined alone in solitary state, and my purpose in staying in town was merely business." He did not meet my eyes as he spoke, but was busy.
