CHAPTER XXVI— Continued

“When you go nwny” she said at
last “I want you to remember this
I’m going to do my best K Sou have
taught me all I know All my lifer
have to overlook things I know that
But in his way Palmer cares for me
He will always come bnck and perhaps
sometime — ”
Her voice trailed off Far ahead of
her she saw the years stretching out
marked not by days and months but
by Palmer’s wanderings away his re-
morseful returns
“Do a little more than forgetting’
1 K said “Try to care for him Chris-
tine You did once And that’s your
strongest weapon It’s always a worn
an’s strongest weapon And it wins in
the end”
“I shall try K” she answered
obediently
But he turned away from the look
In her eyes
Harriet was abroad She had sent
cards from Paris to her “trade” It
was an Innovation The two or three
people on the Street who received her
engraved announcement that she was
there “buying new chic models for the
autumn aud winter — afternoon frocks
evening gowns reception dresses and
wraps from Polret Martial et Armand
and others” left the envelopes casual-
ly on the parlor table as If communica-
tions from Paris were quite to be ex-
pected "K lunched alone and ate little
Sidney came home at half -past tw
came delicately flusjie'd as if she had
hurried and with a tremulous smile
that caught Katie’s eyes at once
“Bless the child I” she said “There’s
no need to ask how he is ttlday You’re
all one smile”
The smile set Just a trifle
“Katie someone has written my
name out on the street in chalk It’s
with Doctor Wilson’s and it looks so
Billy Please go out and sweep it oil'
“I’m about crazy with their old chalk
I’ll do It after a while”
“Please do it now I don’t want any-
one to see it Is — is Mr K upstairs?”
But when she learned that IC was
upstairs oddly enough she did not go
tip at once She stood in the lower
hall and listened Yes he waB there
She could hear him moving about Her
lips parted slightly as she listened
Christine looking in fromher bal
icony saw her there and seeing some-
thing in her face that she had never
suspected put her hand to her throat
“Sidney I”
T “Oh— hello Chris”
' “Won’t you come and sit with me?"
“I haven’t much time — that is I want
Jto speak to K”
“You can see him when he comes
down”
Sidney came slowly through the par-
lor It occurred to her all at once
that Christine must see a lot of K
especially now No doubt he wns In
end out of the house often And how
pretty Christine was! She was un-
happy too All that seemed to be nec-
essary to win K’s attention was to be
unhappy enough Well surely in that
case —
“How Is Max?”
“Still better”
Sidney sat down on the edge of the
railing but she was careful Christine
saw to face the staircase Three was
silence on the balcony Christine
sewed Sidney sat and swung her feet
Idly
"Doctor Ed says Max wants you to
give up your training and marry him
now”
“I’m not going to marry him at all
Chris”
Upstairs K’s door slammed It wns
one of his fallings that he always
slammed doors Harriet used to be
ouite disagreeable about it
Sidney slid from the railing
“There he is now”
Perhaps in all her frivolous selfish
life Christine hud never had a bigger
moment than tne one that followed
She could have said nothing and lp
' th queer way that life goes K might
have gone away from the Street as
empty of heart ns he had come to it
“Be very good to him Sidney” she
eald unsteadily “He cares so much”
fsHAPTER XXVII
K wn being very dense For so
long had tie considered Sidney ns unat-
tainable that now his masculine mind a
little wary with much wretcheduess
refust-i to morp from its old uttitude
“It was glamour that was all K”
arid Hlduey lively
“IVit periups said K “it’s just bo-
at Ut ‘Miserable incident with
Method In His Statement
“I see Mr Edison says four hours’
sleep Is enough for a man”
“He invented the phonograph and
the electric light didn’t he?”
“Oh yes”
“Well it’s all very well for him to
want us fellows who have to pay for
them'to stay up and use them”
Also the Knaves
Kings and queens are quite common
after all They are handled by every
“reliable dealer”
A thrilling mystery story about a
man who lost his courage and the
girl who helped him to find it again
Curlotta That wasn’t the right thing
of course but Max hns told me the
story It was really quite innocent She
fainted in the yard and — ”
Sidney wns exasperated
“Do you want me to marry him K?’
K looked straight ahead
“I want you to be happy dear”
They were on the terrace of the
White Springs hotel again K had or-
dered dinner making a great to-do
about getting the dishes they both
liked But now that it was there they
were not euting IC had placed his
chair so that his profile wus turned to-
ward her Past K’s profile Sidney
could see the magnolia tree shaped like
a heart
“It seems to me” said Sidney sud-
denly “that you are kind to everyone
but me IC”
He fairly staanmered his astonish
ment:
“Why what on earth have I done?”
"You are trying to make me marry
Max aren’t you?”
She was very properly ashamed of
that and When he failed to reply out
of sheer inability to think of one that
would not say too much she went
hastily to something elsfe: “It Is hard
for me to realize that you — that you
lived a life of your own a busy life
doing useful things before you cams
to us I wish you would tell me some-
thing about yourself If we’re to t?c
friends when you go away” — she had
to stop there for the lump in her
throut — “I’ll want to know how to
think of you — who your friends are—
all that”
He made an effort He was think
Ing of course that he would be vis-
ualizing her in the hospital In the lit-
tle bouse on its side street as she
looked just then her eyes like stars
her lips just parted her hands folded
before her on the table
I shall be working” be said at last
“So will you”
“Does that mean you won’t have
time to think of me?”
“I believe I’m stupider than usual to-
night You can think of me as never
forgetting you or the Street working
or playing”
Playing I Of course he would not
work all the time And he was going
back to his old friends to people who
had always known him to girls —
He did his best then He told her of
the old family house built by one of
his forebears who had ’been a king's
man until Washington had put the case
for the colonies and who lmd given
himself and his oldest son then to the
cause thut he made his own He told
of old servants who hud wept when he
decided to close the house and go
away When she fell silent he thought
he was interesting her
But a terrible thing was happening
to Sidney Side by side with the won-
ders he described so casually she was
placing the little house What an exile
it must have been for him 1 When K
trying his best tp interest her and to
conceal his own heaviness of spirit
told her of his grandfather’s old car-
tage she sat buck in the shadow
“Fearful old thing” said K — “regu-
lar cubriolet I can remember yet the
family rows over it”
” “When 1 was a child” said Sidney
quietly “and a carriage drove up and
stopped en the Street I alwuys knew
someone hud died I”
There was a strained note in her
voice K whose ear was attuned to
every note in her voice looked ut her
quickly
My great-grandfather” said Sidney
in the same tone “sold chickens at
market He didn’t do it himself but
the fact’s there isn’t it?”
K was puzzled
“Whut about it?” he said
“Go on” said Sidney dully “Tell
me about the women you have known
your friends the ones you liked and
the ones who liked you”
IC was rather apologetic
“I’ve always been so busy” he con-
fessed “I know a lot but I don’t think
they would interest you 'They don’t
do anything you know — they travel
around and have a good time They’re
rnther nice to look at some of them
But when you’ve said that you’ve said
it all”
Nice to look at 1 Of course they
would be with nothing else to think of
in all the world but of how they looked
Suddenly Sidney felt very tired She
wnnted to go hack to the hospital and
turn the key In the door of her little
room and He with her face down on
the bed
“Would you mind very much If I
asked you to take me back?
He did mind He had a depressed
feeling that the evening had failed
Wireless for Police Patrols
One of the'greutest difficulties In
police work In the larger cities Is the
Inability of the policeman or patrol-
man always to communicate w-ltb the
central office The ordinnry police pa-
trol usually carries two officers one
of whom Is driving and there have
been occasions when a Cull for assist-
ance was necessary but Impossible
The nearest means of communication
was too far away Now the police de-
partment of New York city has solved
this problem by Installing a wireless
And his depression grew as he brought
the car around He understood he
thought She was grieving about Mat
After all a girl couldn’t care as she
hud for a year and a half and then
give a man up because of another
wbinnn without a wrench
“Do you really want to go home Sid-
ney or were you tired of setting there?
In that case we could drive around for
an hour or two I’ll not talk if you’d
like to be quiet”
Being with IC had become an agony
now that she realized how wrong Chris-
tine had been nnd that their worlds
hers and K’s had only touched for a
time But she wns not disposed to
skimp ns to agony She would go
through with it every word a stab if
only she might sit beside K a little
longer might feel the touch of his old
gray coat ngninst her arm
“I’d like to ride if you don’t mind”
IC turned the automobile toward the
country roads
“K”
“Yes?”
“Was there anybody you cared about
— any girl — when you left home?”
“I was not In love with anyone If
that’s what you mean”
“You knew Max before didn’t you?”
“Yes You know that”
“If you knew tilings about him that I
a'tould have known why didn’t you
tell me?”
“I couldn’t do that could I? Any-
how—” "Yes?”
“I thought everything would be all
right It seemed to me that the mere
fact of your caring for him — ” That
was shaky ground he got off It quickly
K was suddenly aware thut Sidney
was crying She sat with her head
turned away using her handkerchief
stealthily He drew the car up beside
the road and In a masterful fashion
turned her shoulders about until she
faced nlm
“Now tell me about It” he said
“It’s Just silliness I’m — I’m a little
bit lonely Aunt Harriet’s in Paris
and with Joe gone and everybody — ”
“Aunt Harriet I”
He was properly dazed for sure
“And with you going away and never
coming back — ”
I’ll come back of course How’s
this? I’ll promise to come back when
you graduate nnd send you flowers"
“You won’t IC You’ll be back with
your old friends Girls who have been
everywhere and have lovely clothes
and who won’t know a T bandage from
a figure eight I”
“There will never be anybody in the
world iike you to me dear” His voice
was husky
“You are saying that to comfort me’
“To comfort you 1 I — who have
wanted you so long that It hurts even
to think about It! Ever since the night
I came up the Street and you were sit-
ting there on the steps — oh my dear
my dear If you only enred a little!”
Because he was afraid that he would
get out of hand nnd take her In his
nrms — which would be idiotic since of
course she did not care for him that
way — he gripped the steering-wheel It
gave him a curious appearance of mak-
ing a pathetic appeal to the wind-
shield “I have been trying to make you say
that all evening!” said Sidney “I love
you so much that — IC won’t you take
me In your nrms?”
Take her In his arms! He almost
crushed her lie held her to him and
muttered Incoherencies until she
gasped It was as If he must make up
for long arrears of hopelessness He
held her off a bit to look ut her us if
to be sure it was she and no change-
ling and as If he wanted her eyes to
corroborate her lips There was no
lack of confession In her eyes they
showed him a new heaven and a new
earth
“It was you always IC” she con-
fessed “I Just didn’t realize It But
now when you look back don’t you see
it was?”
He looked bnck over the months
when she had seemed as unattainable
as the stars and he did not see it He
shook his head
“I never had even a hope”
“Not when I came to you with every-
thing? I brought you all my troubles
nnd you always helped”
Her eyes filled She bent down and
kissed -one of his hands lie was so
happy that the foolish little caress
mnde his heart hammer in his ears
“I think K that is how one can al-
ays tell when It is the right one and
ill be the right one forever and ever
It Is the person— one goes to In trou-
ble” He had no words for that only little
caressing touches of her arm her bn ad
apparatus on each patrol The radio
apparatus Is mounted within the chas-
sis of the truck while two poles hold
the aerial wires In plnce In the front
and rear and the transmitter Is driv-
en by the same gasoline power which
runs the car Thus the police truck Is

quarters That mulberry leaves for feeding

Perhnps without knowing It he was
formulating a sort of prayer that
since there must be troubles she
would always come to him and he
would always be able to help her
And Sidney too fell silent She was
recalling the irlay she became engaged
to Max and the lost feeling she had
lmd She did nol feel the sume at all
now She felt as if she had been wan-
dering and had come home -to the
arms thnt were about her Looking in-
to his steady eyes she knew that she
was safe She would never wither for
him
Where before she had felt the clutch
of inexorable destiny the woman’s fate
now she felt only his arms about her
her cheek on his shabby coat
“I shall love you all my life” ‘she
said shakily ' '
HIs arms tightened about her
The little house wns dnrk when they
got back to It The Street which had
heard that Mr Le Moyne approved of
night nlr wns raising its windows for
the night and pinning cheesecloth bags
over its curtains to keep them clean
In the second-story frume room at
Mrs McKee’s the bnritone slept heav-
ily and made divers unvocal sounds
He was hardening his throat and so
slept with a wet towel about it
Down on the doorstep Mrs McKee
and Mr Wagner sat and made love
with the aid of a lighted match and the
pencil-pad '
The car drew up at the little house
Katie had heard it and now she came
heavily along the hall
“A woman left this for Mr K” she
said “If you think it’s a begging let
ter you’d better keep it until he’s
bought his new suit tomorrow!' Almost
any moment he’s likely to bust out”
But it was not a begging letter K
read it In the hall with Sidney’s
shining eyes on him It began ab-
ruptly :
I’m going to Africa with one of my
cousins She is a medical missionary
Perhaps I can work things out there
If I caused death I did not mean to
You will think that no excuse but it is
true In the hospital when I changed the
bottles on Miss Page’s medicine tray I
did not care much what happened But it
was different with you
You dismissed me you remember I had
been careless about a sponge count 1
made up my mind to get back at you
You remember the packets of gauze
sponges we made and used in the operat-
ing room? There were twelve to each
package When we counted them as we
got them out we counted by packages
On the night before I left I went to the
operating room and added one sponge-
every here and there Out of every dozen
packets perhaps I fixed one that had
thirteen The next day I went away
Then I was terrified I was so fright-
ened that I went down sick over it When
I got better I heard you had lost a case
and the cause was being whispered about
I almost died of terror Then I lsft the
city I couldn’t stand it I was afraid
to read a newspaper
I am not going to sign this letter You
know who it is from And I am not guing
to ask your forgiveness or anything of
that sort I don’t expect it But one
thing hurts me more than anything else
the other night You said you’d lost your
faith In yourself This is to tell you that
you need not And you said something
else — that anyone can “come back” I
wonder I
K stood In the hall of the little house
with the letter in his hand Just be-
yond on the doorstep was Sidney wait-
ing for him Ills nrms were still wrrm
from the touch of her Beyond lay the
Street and beyond thnt lay the world
and a man’s work to do Work and
faith to do It a good woman’s hand in
the dark a Providence thnt made
tilings right in the end
“Are you coming K?”
“Coming” he said And when he
wns beside her his long figure folded
to the short measure of the step he
stooped humbly and kissed the hem of
her soft white dress
(THE END)
Measure Hides by Air Pressure
A German method for measuring
the area of hides by means of air
pressure has been recently patented
The measuring instrument consists of
a table top with many small holes In
It spaced at regular Intervals mount-
ed on a funnel base through which
und through the holes In the top a
suction fan draws air The hide when
placed on the table reduces the cryss-
section of the air current and so pro-
duces a rarefaction of the air which
In turn creates a subpressure that rnn
be meusured from the combined lend-
ings of a vacuum gauge and a tacho-
meter — an Instrument that registers
the velocity of uir currents
A City Chauffeur
“What’s become of your chauffeur?”
“Oh he was with the regiment down
in Texas and crawled under an army
jnui to sea why It wouldn’t to”
Her Excuse
“But why did you marry another
dyspeptic?” asked the Inquisitive
friend of the ex-widow who hud re-
cently annexed No 2 “As your first
husband Was a martyr to Indigestion
I should think one of the kind w as suf-
ficient” “Yes It would seem so" replied the
ex-widow with a sigh long-drawn-out
“but you see 'my first husband left
a lot of medicine behind when he shuf-
fled off and I hated to see It go to
waste”
MURDER A U MODE
“Bad Men” of Gotham Have Va-
rious Ways of Gaining Ends
Artistic Methods of the Camorra and
Mafia In Sharp Contrast With Crude
Customs of the Docks
Here’s how the different “bad men”
of Manhattan engage In the pleasant
pastime of “bumping ’em off”
Along the water fronts where many
a man is sent to the happy hunting
ground each year the thugs are not
artistic In this section of town five
the rough-and-tumble fighters of he
docks A blow from an Iron fist a
knife In the back or a belaying pin
over the “coco” serves its purpose
generally followed by the hasty de-
1 scent of the victim Into the river
$n the Mulberry Bend district how-
ever where the Camorra and the
Mafia strike terror into the hearts of
the Italian-born citizens theije is an
artistic element that enters into the
execution of a crime The busy streets
thronged with people will be jammed
to capacity when the news of a shoot-
ing or the swift keen message of the
Camorra is discovered Upon the ar-
rival of the police no matter how
many people may liive witnessed the
actual performance of the crime there
can never be found anyone who knows
the least about it
The vengeance of the secret society
Is swift and cruel Its very mystery
Is more mysterious because you can
never get an Italian to admit any such
organization exists anl if one man Is
secured who was seen to commit the
crime the Camorra can find a dozen
to swear that the culprit was miles
away at the time of the shooting
In Chinatown deAh also comes
swiftly and sllehtly’ but the native
population sneaks for home the min-
ute a 'crime is committed Streets
tdtat a minute before were jammed
with Celestials will empty in an In-
stant and except for slant eyes peep-
ing through closed bllpds no Chinese
can be seen 60 seconds after the news
of a murder Is flashed by some mysti-
cal method through the quarter
Murder In Chinatown Is generally
the vengeance of a tong against a
member of some rival tong Chinese
as a rule take little personal vengeance
without the backing of their own par-
ticular fraternal order Their weapons
are the ax a “45” or native knife
In some of the other Oriental sec-
tions of the city poison Is the means
of removing an obstacle from the
path Little information Is ever gained
of the activities of the Balkan black-
legs which frequent certain portions of
the city Since the start of the Euro-
pean war there are more crimes of Bal-
kan origin than ever before for It is
from this class of cutthroat that the
“third section” or underground secret
spy system of several European coun-
tries Is recruited
Uptown between One Hundred and
Sixteenth anil One Hundred and Forti-
eth streets where the negroes congre-
gate the favorite weapon is’ the razor
Throughout Harlem the “gun-fighter”
lprks while over in the gas tank re-
gion a man comes to his end by the
medium of the blackjack or a short
fiiece of lead pipe
The Flood Legends
Some have sought an explanation of
the flood legends in the story of the
drowning of the mythical continent of
Atlantis This is a fascinating exer-
cise for the Imagination rendered more
attractive by the faint Indications from
geology that there nmy once have been
a continent in the midst of the -Atlantic
ocean But If so we are carried
back to an age so remote that it Is
virtually Impossible to correlate It
with the existence of man and particu-
larly with man In such a state of de-
velopment as that which the legends
depict
The deluge story Is so persistent in
human annnls that it must have had
an origin in some actual event or
series of events but science at pres-
ent can throw no definite light upon
It and a study of the myth-making fac-
ulty so strong In 'primitive humanity
must be relied on to clear up the mys-
tery of Its universal diffusion — Gar-

Back Yard Agriculture
A movement for “back-yard agricul-
ture” Inaugurated in Ontario should
be extended to this country says the
Providence Bulletin It is not neces-
sary to have a large tract of land for
gardening Much can be done at small
expense on a city yard of ordinary
size An area of 40 by 50 feet Is worth
cultivating Tomatoes lettuce rad-
ishes beans and onions all valuable
food products can be grown within
the limits of a house lot “Back-yard
agriculture” will not support the peo-
ple but It will add materially to the
food supplies of the country and thus
will have effect upoD prices The
Canadian government Is wise In Its
advocacy of “a vegetable garden for
every home”
Utter Cruelty
“The prima donna’s going to quit !”
exclaimed the music director
“I know It" replied the manager
coldly “She demanded more salary
and I told her I’d give It If she’d use
the difference to take singing lessons”
His Price
“I see farm hands In Manchuria are
paid only 15 cents a day”
“The Ideal Why they can’t smoke
more than one cigar a day at that
rater
“Seed and Feed” the Slogan of
the Year
The papers are filled with the appeal
for soldiers sailors and farmers and
all are timely all are necessary The
sailor Is needed to man the ships thnt
protect the shores police the seas and
clear the ocean of tormenting and
meddlesome masked buccaneers to
give help to the allies to make more
efficient the present fighting units that
are keeping free the sea lanes and
ocean routes The soldier is required
to keep alive and Intact the unity of
the nation and the freedom -of the
world to protect the lives of Its citi-
zens from incursions without nnd raids
within to guard the honor and pre-
serve the dignity of the great United
States to render not only sentimental
but practical assistance to those who
for two and a half years on the bat-
tlefields of Flanders and the steppes
of the East have been fighting for the
freedom of the world against a domi-
nant autocratic and militarist Prus-
slanism which were It to become sue-
cessful would mean autocratlsm mil-
itarism and Prussianism and a “get-off-the-sldew’alkism”
over the entire
world The allies are proud to wel-
come these new accessions to the fight-
ing forces which mean an earlier ter-
mination of the war and the dawn of
an era that will be historic one
that we will all be proud that we lived
In Throughout all Canada Great
Britain France and all the allied coun-
tries when the news was received that
the United States had entered the war
a thrill went up and down the nation’s
sides and the pulses throbbed with n
new life keenly appreciative of the
practical sentiment that had brought
to their sides an ally of' the strength
and virility of the United States
But the soldier and the sailor need
to be fed nnd therefore the cry for
agricultural enlistment The strength
of the fighting man must be main-
tained In his absence from the field
there comes the necessity for provision
to take his place The appeal for farm
help Is well timed opportune and Im-
portant There are vacant lands a-
plenty In the United States that given
a fair opportunity under competent ad-
visement and reasonable help will pro-
duce abundantly Western Canada
also provides an excellent field for the
prosecution of work in growing wheat
and other grains and while It Is not
the desire of the Canadian Government
to draw from the resources of the '
United States believing that It Is the
duty of every patriotic citizen to do
all he possibly can to build up the
stores of depleted foods and making
use of every energy at home the wish
is to lay before the public the fact
that Canada has millions of acres of
excellent land capable of producing
wonderful crops' If for any reason
the reader having patriotism and a
love of his country in his heart and a
desire to forward the cause of the al-
lies cannot avail-himself of the oppor-
tunities afforded In the United States
Western Canada will be glad to ren-
der him any assistance It can In locat-
ing him on Its vaennt areas where large
crops can be grown at minimum of
cost Let us grow the grain raise the
cattle produce the food to feed our '
soldiers our sailors and provide food
for our allies no matter whether It Is
done to the North or to the South of
the boundary Une that In the object In
view should not be known as a boun-
dary Let us keep up the spirit of pa-
triotism whether It be growing grain
In the United States or in Canada but
Canada fully alive to the necessity
joins In the appeal of Its allies — the
United States — for more food and more
