"I owe you an apology for losing my temper. You must forgive me.” "I guess I’ve acted like a school kid," Shell added, meekly. “Getting all boiled over about Ideals and bawling you out because I thought you were going to marry money. I should be wants to make your future safe and happy. I’m for him.” When she did not answer, he went on, solemnly, “You can be sure I won’t forget myself again. I guess I just think you're too good for any body. I—I’ve never known a woman like you before. The colonel is a lucky man.” Patieince said, hollowly, “I’m not going to marry Col. Steele.” Shell looked at her, closely. “Tell me,” he asked then, “is it because you are in love with some other man? I’m your best friend. Surely, you can tell me. Something is worrying you. Is there some one else? Or am I being too presump tuous?” Patience dropped a cup and broke It. “What—makes you think I’m in love,” She threw the broken cup into the waste-paper basket, turning from him. "What does a woman hater like you know about love?” "I’ve reformed.” He smiled, crook edly. "I do seem to jemember bab bling to you at great length about the unworthiness of women shortly after we met. But I’ve joined the ranks of ex-women haters. If you weren’t so blind, you’d have seen that a long time ago.” A. OUVtibV O » U4VV w o* >-•** distance. “So, you've fallen in love with her, too." They were through with the dishes. She walked swiftly into the living room. “What did you say?” he asked when they were seated. She stared across at him, whitely. “So—you've fallen in love with her, too,” she repeated, automatically, twisting her hands in her lap. “With whom?” Shell smiled, quizically. “I—suppose you've fallen in love with Jan.” Patience's eyes were bleak with misery. "Everybody falls in love with Jan. I—I might have known, of course! That’s why you were so good to us. I must have been blind.” "You're blinder than that.” Shell’s own face had grown pale. "But don’t add cradle robbing to my other voices.” “Oh,” Patience’s hands went swiftly to her burning face. “It—isn’t Jan. You must think—I’m crazy. Oh! I don’t know what I'm saying!” she cried, desperately. “How could I?” He took her hands and held them so she could not hide her eyes again. “How could I fall in love with Jan when you are here?” Because she stared at him uncomprehendingly, Shell shook her tenderly. “Did you hear me?” he laughed, softly. "How could any man in the world see Janell when you were in the same house? Listen to me—it’s your own.” He picked her up like a child and ate down in her chair, holding her. In his arms. For several minutes she lay without stirring, quietly sobbing. He soothed her gently, and when she grew quiet he sat her up. "If you’d go and wipe your tears away and powder your nose," he chided gently, "maybe you could pull yourself together long enough for us to sort of get together and find out if this feeling is mutual. I believe a kiss is the customary procedure." "You idiot!" She hid her face in the collar of his coat. "I know my nose must be a sight." "Never mind the nose. He reached over and switched off the lights. A long time later, she stirred in his arms and asked the old, old question. "Tell me," she touched the dear face with trembling fingers, "when did you first discover you were in love with me, darling?" "Well, now let me think." He pretended deep thought. "I think it was that first, you cucumber salad that won my heart." "I believe, she laughed shakily. "You're marrying me for my lemon meringue pie." He kissed her again, and held her closer. "I knew I loved you, and would never let you go, that day here in this room when I told you it took more than soap and water to do a good justice. And you wept and said you were so homely it didn’t matter." "You loved me," her heart grew lighter, "even before I went to Marta's and got all dressed up?" "I asked you for a date before that, didn’t I?" he laughed, and kissed her red hair. “Sweetheart, I decided a long, long time ago that it took more than a modern beauty parlor and a dressmaker to make the woman I could love. If I hadn’t seen you with your back hair down and your war paint off, I probably would have suspected you of being a phoney.” Just as I've suspected most of the other women I've known. "Oh, Shell!" She held him to her fiercely. "If you hadn't loved me, I couldn't have lived. Don't ever stop loving me. So many marriages don't last." He stopped her with a kiss. "That's a fine thought to be holding in your mind on a night like this," he scolded blithely. "Tell me, when did you first discover you loved me?" "I loved you a long time before I knew what was the matter with me." She buried her face in his weed lapels. "But when Col. Steele asked me to marry him, I knew I couldn't ever marry anybody in the world but you—for love. It didn't seem possible that you, a wonderful man like you—could fall in love with poor little me. But I decided to die an old maid waiting to find out. The colonel's proposal gave me hope that there might be something about me you could like. Perhaps my apple strudle or doughnuts." The Christmas tree, sadly neglected, stood tall and straight in the corner, waiting for its gay baubles. They had completely forgotten they were supposed to trim it. But at the stage door of "Rainbow Over Broadway" things were not quite so peaceful. For Johnny Slater of Green Acres, Kans., had arrived to spend the holidays in New York. And he was, at that very moment, trying to convince the stage door man that he was a friend. Of Miss Jan Keats. (To be continued.) Venezuela Employs 40,000.

Attention wild ducks: Scientists of the Biological Survey Bureau and the University of Minnesota are paying the way for development of squirrel, which you can eat with little fear of lead poisoning. These scientists, according to the bureau, have developed an alloy that disintegrates in water or, if eaten by ducks as they dabble for food in marshy areas, breaks up rapidly in the gizzard and passes through the intestinal tract before a fatal dose of lead can be absorbed by the bird's body. Wild ducks often escape hunters' gunfire only to be poisoned fatally by lead shot which they eat along with their food. Water fowl losses from lead poisoning are common and many ducks die from eating only a few pellets. When the new alloy has been developed to a point where its use by shot manufacturers will be practical, the dangers of lead poisoning will be greatly decreased, the scientists believe. Electric Fence. Electric fences to keep cows in pastures is not a new idea, according to Roy H. Dillon of Decatur, m., who says he saw a charged fence 41 years ago. It worked all right too. Town people used to go out to the fence for the fun, joining hands and all getting a shock together.—Electrical World. Moslems Befused Interest. Britain established post office savings banks in Cairo, Egypt, in 1901, but the Muslim population, accustomed to bury their savings, were slow to take advantage of the banks because they were offered interest on their money—interest being unlawful by the law of the Koran. It is recorded that in the first two years the banks functioned no less than 3,190 Muslim depositors refused on religious grounds to take any interest on their money. INSTALLMENT XXVII. "I—I’ll throw the tray back." She opened the door when Patience called, "Come in." She was sitting under the Christmas tree, but she got up hurriedly and smoothed her hair with trembling fingers. "I—I’ll take it." She reached for the tray. "No, I’ll put it away." He walked back toward the kitchenette. Patience followed him, uncertainly. "I might as well rinse the dishes out now, I guess." She took the dishpan from the cabinet. "There are just a few." "I’ll dry them." He looked in the drawer for a tea towel. She ran the water into the pan and when she poured washing powder in upset half the contents on the dishes. "I—I guess I’ve got the jitters," she laughed nervously and poured the soapy water down the sink. Engraved Wedding Stationery That is authentic in the details of craftsmanship.
