"You understand my" point, dear.
I want us to live our own lives as
we see fit. I want my baby to be
my buby. I want to briuj? her up
us you and I know to be right. If
we make iniutukcu, It's our life.
It's our baby. I want freedom.
Walt, 1 want us to be free! 1 want
us to come and ro and do as we
ji lease. I don't want them to In
terfere. I can't ntop you from list
ening to them, but if, you love mo
you will not bo Influenced by them
and guided by them. You and I
und no one elite on God's earth
Bhall make the decisions that
guide us. Do you understand,
Wuli?"
"Voh, I do. I swear to you that
I shall nover let them interfere

"Oh, Walt, you qm niako me so
happy."
"And you me.' ' ' , j
The week pawned like rf dream.
They wullced and swain lind danced
and pluyed lunula. They spent
hours nankins In the sun, Oracle
crawling over them and covering
them with sand. ' 1
They talked and talked. Helen
told III in shyly at first and then
more freely of the time when they
had Insulted and plagued her.
Most, of the stories he heard for
the flrt 'tlino and he was out
raped. :
'Why didn't you tell me?' he
usked again and again.
"Waller, this Is our declaration
of independence. Nothing, nuth
Iiir cah ever corao between us
ugain!" ; 1 -
They wont back hand In hand to
the hotel to dress for dinner. Wal
ter's fuce was burned to a deep
brown und his eyes wero clear and
sparkling. His brow 'was Bmooth
and beneath his scalp' was a white
line thut had escaped the aim so
that the tun was like a 'veil. Helen
had never seen hi in look fo ullve,
so' buoyant. Never hud his step
been so springy. She waited ut
tho elevator while ho went to the
desk to not the key und the mall,
tihe smiled and nodded again and
ugain to hotel acquaintances.
Sho looked up to see him coin
ing toward her. She waved, then
dropped her hand midair. His face
was gray, his eyes glassy; the old
Walter, the Salon Walter tho Wal
ter who ml ted his fmehend and
gnawed helplessly on his mustache
shuffled toward her.
'What Is it?"
Ho handed her the to! eg rani with
out a word. Irene's strident voice
seemed to fill the lobby.
"Come back at once. Mother had
a svrlous stroke this morning stop
might be fatal. Irene."
"I'll go and puck, Walt. You see
about trains."
"Oh, Helen, after all I promised
you!"
"This Is different, darling."
"God bless you, Helen. You're
one in a million!"
'I'll round up Fredericks and the
buby. Now go quickly und make
reservations."
They arrived In New York on
New Year's eve. It was clear but
bitterly cold and Helen's blood,
thinned by three weeks in the
south, felt like Ice In her veins.
Walt bundled theiu into a cab and
in a few minutes they were back
ii the apartment. Walter hud wir
ed Mamie so that dinner was ready
for them. In half an hour Grade
was crawling about the ' apart
ment und tripping over rugs und
rediscovering her toys. It was as
tf Ho'en had never been uway. Wal
ter left her with a long fervid kiss
to rush over to his mother's.
For two weeks Auastasla's
health was the greatest concern of
the Hlleyn. Walter was ut his
mother's bedside every day for un
hour or more, holding the old
ludy's hand and assuring her thut
in u few more days she'd be good
us new.
Hy the end of February, Ana
Htusiu wus able to sit in a chair
hy tho window and drive the nurse
frantic with her demands.
".Mama Is recovering," Irene de
clared sardonically as the nurse
resigned and another hud to be
found. "Thai Is tho final proof."
"Thank the Lord," said Walter.
, "Thank God," Irene echoed, "Uy
tho way, how Is Helen? No one
over sees her any more."
"She's busy and happy."
"Indeed. Hhe hasn't been here
hardly at all."
"Nonsense, she's been in every
day."
. "Yes, sho bree.es In like a cine
mu queen, stays a few minutes und
btOWB."
"Mamma Is satisfied with her
visits," Waller rj.-Joined stiffly.
"And since it doesn'l directly con
cern you, I'll thank you to mind
your own business."
"My Lord, what a speech! You
ought to run for office. And since
when are you to dictate to me
who and what is my business?"
"I'm not. You can jaw your head
dff but not about my wife. And not
in me. Hee." He turned on his
vjy . , ft At

qualify in every bottle!
Old Quaker sticks to every rule of fine
distilling, in spite of its friendly price
You've ordered over 3 million
cases of Old Quaker straight
whiskey! That surely shows
you lite it. And Old Quaker
can tell you uhy you like it.
It's because each rich drop is
made in strict accordance with
the rules of fine distilling.

Irene looked after him in amaze

piously. "b's cone off bis bead!"

Now that Agnes Masker bad her
afternoons free she spent only
morn ins at the salon, she bad
mora free time than she had ever
had In her life before. At first she
didn't quite know what to do with
It and it bung heavily on her
hands. Auastasla's stroke came
as a god -send to Agnes for at least
it gave her something to do. IS he
sat at her mother's bedside and
read to her. Not that this was
particularly agreeable to either of
them. Aunes yearned to Improve
Anastasia's , taste in literature
which leaned to scandal articles
und particularly confession stories.
During Anastasia's Illness Agnes
had seen practically no one, but
now that her mother could sit up
and thumb the tabloids and look
at the pictures by herself, she no
longer needed Agnes. Agues was
grateful, when she received a call
from her old friend, Llertha Crnn
dall, now Mrs.' George Cnieman,
At luncheon the next day Bertha
listened sympathetically to a long
account of Anastasia's stroke and
recovery.
"It's wonderful. IJut listen, Ag
nes, I've got to tell you something
too. I sweur I haven't told a soul
but It's been on my conscience. I
must tell you. You're so wise and
clever. I know you'll do what you
think best. Listen, Agnes, when
George and I were in Miami luHti
mouth we eaw your sister-in-law.
"Yes, I know. She and Walter
spent nearly a month there." . A
note of envy crept into her voice
oven though she spoke casually. I
"Your brother was with her?" :
Bertha asked In amazement, then !
added, "Old tbey go down togeth
er, Agnes?" I
"What do you mean? No, as a
matter of fact, she went down
alone with the nurse and buby. The
baby had a cold. Walter went
down a week later."
"Ah," Hertha cried triumphant
ly, "that's different! That makes
it all too clear.'
"What, what do you mean,
Bertha?"
"Agnes, we saw Hplen down
there with another man," she said
slowly.
"I don't believe it! Besides, H
may have been just a casual ac
quaintance." '
"Yeah? She was clinging to his
arm, and lnuglilng Into his face . ."
"No!" Agnes paled.
"Yes. And do you know who the
man was, Agues?"
"No, who was It?" she gasped.
"Agnes, It was Dirk Terbuuo
Irene's husband!"
"Oh, my lord!"
"Agnes, tako some water, quick.
Oh, my dear, you mustn't let your
self go liko that."
Apnea' lips moved swiftly in si
lent prayer.
"Tell mo all' about it from be
ginning to end. Berth." she gasped.
Nothing loath, Bertha told the
Rtory wltli embellishments and ad
ditions of her own. Agnes listened,
her face a mask of determination.
Her voice when she spoke was
harsh with excitement.
"Listen, Berth, swenr to me on
the memory of your dead motnert
that you II never breathe a word of
this to a soul, unless 1 suy you
may."
"i swear to heaven," Berths qua
vered, frightened by tbe jfleain iu
Agneu's eye.
"We've bad euougb scandal in
the family with Stella. We can't
let It touch Walter and Irene too.
But she'll answer to me! I'll see
that she is justly punished," Ag
nes babbled. "Ttial rotten, sneak
ing little worm."
"I want to go to Poland," Ana
stasla Insisted, "I .want-to see my
grundfather's farm lu Krakow be
fore 1 die."
"Do you think she could, doc
tor?" "1 don't know about Poland but
tbe ocean voyage would do her a
world of good and the baths at
Nuuheim, 1 think, would prolong
tier life." .
"What do you think, Irene?"
Walter asked afier the doctor bad
gone.
"1 think It's a good Idea and
she's bo set on going."
The five Kileys were there this
, Sunday afternoon. Each one hud
Just dropped in for a minute to
see their mother and to heur the
I doctor's verdict on Anastasia's
i sudden desire to go to Europe,
I "It will be an awful Job to get
her there, Stella pondered.
"Why? The chair cun bo wheel'
ed and the nurse can go along."
"She can't go alone, with just
the nurse, Kthet Someone's got
to go with her."
"Not I," Agnes shrugged. "We
get along like cat and'dog. Besides,
1 wouldn't risk my life on a boat."
"Doesn't Christian Science work
on boats?" Kthel asked slyly.
"Shut up, Kthel. Agnes is out of
the question."
Irene consulted her diamond
watch. "Hurry up and get this
setlted. I have a dlnner)arty."
"How about you going with
mama, Stella? You're footloose
and I'll give you money to get
yourself some swell clothes in
Paris."
"Leave my work and go with
mammu!" Stella shuddered. "Be
sides I'm going to Lake Placid
next week for the sports."
"What about you, Kthel?"
"I'd be crazy to get a free trip
to Kurope, Walter darling, and if
you don't think I'm fed up with the
salon, you're crazy, but Eddie
wouldn't go with mamma. They're
poison to each other and I won't
leave Eddie."
"lie won't run away, my dear,
not while you're supporting him so
nicely."
"You shut up, Irene."
"Be quiet, Irene, please. Now
one of us has got to take , her.
Good Lord, mamma's got five chil
dren and not one of them will tuke
her to Europe when her very life
is at stake."
"t'an the heroics, Walter. What
about you?"
"Yes, what about you?"
Walter looked startled at his sis
ters. "The business got along while
you and. your wife lolled a,t Palm
Beach or Miami Beach, whenever
it was."
t Walter stared at Irene. His face
For the first time In many years
the beat of tom-toms was beard
over tbe historic Lake Tahoe
reeion as more than seven hun
dred Indians, representing eigh
teen tribes, gathered together hi
a spectacular ceremonial dance.
Their tliroc-hund red-odd tf pees
lined the curving shore between
Emerald Bay and Itubicon Point,
a sandpit which divides the
mountain-cleft bay, famous In
thousands of lithographs, from
Lake Tahoe.
The Indians were gathered from
California, Nebraska and Wyoming
reservations. A few were from
New Mexico and eighty were
drafted from vicinities near Los
Angeles.
They were rounded up by
scouts for what is reported to he
the most spectacular dunce se
quence ever filmed the "Totem
Pole" number for "Rose Marie"
which opens Sunday at the Indian
theatre.
With Jeanette MacDonuld and
Nelson Kddy co-starred this giant
production was made by the same
producer who made "Naughty Mar
ietta." The set for this dance comprised
set. "Why not! I've never been
to Kurope. Helen and I hud a good
time iu Florida. It wus Miami
Beach, my dear."
Irene bowed sardonically.
"It'll be a wonderful trip for
Helen and me. Okay, mamma!
You're going with -us," Walter de
cided. Walter could hardly wait to tell
the news to Helen.
"When, do we sail?" She waved
a handful of socks that she was
repairing.
"I knew you'd bo pleased."
"Pleased! I'm thrilled! Oh,
Walter, isn't it marvelous! We'll
be alone together!"
, "Well, mamma'U be with us," he
hesitated.
"Mamma's all right," she conced
ed. "Mamma's fun! Oh, we'll all
have fun!"
Walter kissed her. "You darting,
you angel! My own sweet blessed
girl!"
There followed a month of fe
vered preparation. They were
booked to sail on March 29, when
one day about the second week in
March, Helen's suspicions were
suddenly and ruthlessly confirmed
no she became nauseated over her
breakfast.
"What is it, darling?"
"I'm goiug to have another
baby."
"Do you mind, Helen darling?"
"Not awfully. 1 think it's rather
nice. Do you?"
"Mind!" He caught her to him
and they waltzed decorously out
of the bathroom while he sang the
"Blue Danube" badly off key.
