WEDNESDAY, JULY 22 I A Matter Of Honor. f TBy Clariua MacKf: T Copyrighted. 19(. by Associated Literary Frest. tTvTtttttttttttttttttttt "I am very sorry," began Helen In evident distress, 'bur Richard Hilton held up a restraining band. "Don't go on. I know what you mean," he said heavily. He was star ing at the third finger of her left hand, where a curious ring scattered pris matic raya of light In the June sun nhtne. She followed his glance toward the ring, and her check flushed hotly. "Of course It is Littleton, after all." be said as if stating an undeniable fact Then, with a slight bow, he turned and walked away down the sandy shore. Miss Vineent looked after him with dated brown eyes and a Etrangely numb feeling in her heart. When he had rounded the lighthouse point and disappeared within the shadow of the 'tall structure she shivered a little, as If with cold. She had been perched among the bowlders under the shelter ing cedar clothed banks when Hilton had found her an hour before, and still she sat there after his departure with wistful, dreamy eyes fixed on the flashing sails beyond the breakwa ter. "Hello, little cousin! Been looking everywhere for you. I might have guessed you'd be somewhere by the ead sea waves." Jeffrey Littleton swung himself to a seat beside her and gathered a handful of white pebbles from the crannies of the rocks. He was a slightly built, rather good looking young man with eyes placed a trifle close together and a small rose bud mouth like a girl's. He caught Miss ' Vincent's sun browned hand with an air of possession that changed to consternation as she pulled It has tily away. "I am only your fourth cousin, Jef frey," she said petulantly. . "It Is quite evident that you wish the relationship was still more dis iant," he said ruefully. He took care ful aim at a stone down on the water's edge and shot a white pebble down ward. "How do. you like Miss Wen deli?" he asked with elaborate care lessness. ' "She Is charming!" cried Helen en VON'T YOU KEEP THAT, HELEN, JUST FOR RLME11BRANCE ?" thusiastically. "I like her immensely. You know we were at school together, although in different classes." "Handsome what do you think?" Jeffrey asked. "She Is lovely," said Miss Vincent, looking curiously at him. For the first time since their engagement three years before Jeffrey was showing in terest in another woman. How gladly she would have wel comed the diversion during the last twelve months of her awakening to what love, really meani!. But. no: SHE'S AfQUEEN is an expression that is always heard at sight of a well developed woman.

The fuct tluit their betrothal was a family affair and as yet unannounced would have made it ensier for her to have told him the truth and thus broken off the 'engagement; but a cer taiu pity for him bad stilled the words that bad so often trembled on her Hps, for only since the advent of ltlchard Hilton Into her world had she known what love was that sweet 'upland path that one knows Instinctively lends to heights of bliss heights whence it takes a lifetime to descend. It was the old story of a pledged word and a love come too late. She had turned Hilton away and Jeffrey was speaking again In a slow, hesitat ing way, very unlike his usual man ner. "You remember that day In Rome when we were looking in the wlndew of old Rlconi, the goldsmith, and we both saw the ring?" He touched her finger gently with one hand. "Yes," she said, a little breathlessly. It was not often that Jeffrey spoke of such matters. Their engagement had been singularly free from sentiment. "And yon admired Its quaint setting, and so I bought it and we called It an engagement ring," he went on lightly, "It Is needless to relate that the houses of Vincent and Littleton rejoiced great ly and that our boy and girl attach ment settled into a Darby and Joanr flatness.,, There was a tinge of bit terness In his voice that caused an up lifting of her pretty brows. "AndT she suggested haughtily. "I have thought perhaps you might have tired of me and wanted your free dom, only-jour conscience you know you have a conscience, little cousin" "I am sorry. Jeffrey, that my 'con science, as you call It, has been the means of binding you to an unwelcome contract No; do not speak," she said coldly. "It is true that I would never have been the one to break the engage ment because my word Is my law. and" Her voice broke suddenly. "1 thought you'd be pleased." cried Jeffrey In consternation. "You know Hilton you see" He stammered confusedly as she started to her feet "Be still;" she said in a low, passion ate voice. "Don't you know that yeu are too late now? Why didn't you jilt me before?" She sank bnek on the rocks and buried her face In her bands with a little sobbing cry. Jeffrey reddened darkly at ber words. He scrambled down from the bowlders and stood on the beach be fore her. "I am very sorry, Helen. I know you think I'm a cad. but I can not explain. You may understand some day." "Waif she said scornfully, lifting a tearful face to his. "ion must un derstand that I am not breaking my heart over your desertion. It Is be cause I have just sacrificed a lifetime of happiness for such as you!" She drew the brilliant ring from ber finger and held it toward him. "Won't you keep that, Helen, Just fot remembrance?" be asked awkwardly. "I cannot" she said coldly, and It droppeainto his reluctant band. Pres ently be found himself following clear ly defined footprints In the damp sand. They skirted the beach and circled the lighthouse. When they ceased Jeffrey found himself face to face with Rich ard Hilton. o. "Hello, Hilton!" he said genially, evading the other man's miserable eyes. "Going down the beach? If you are I wish-you'd Just take this handkerchief to my cousin Miss Vin cent She's sitting on the rocks be yond the point." He held out a morsel of cobweb and lace. Hilton hesitated. "I don't know," he said doubtfully. "You see, I'm waiting for the 4:30 train. I'm going back to the city to night Important business" "Well, all right You see, I'm going to take that same train myself must catch the Lucretla tomorrow morning going abroad for three years, and" "I guess I'll have time to run up there with It," said Hilton eagerly. "Goodby, old man! Hope you have ti good time. Goodby!" He swung around the point with the fluttering handkerchief in his hand.- Jeffrey fol- lowed bis going with a strange smile on his lips. He opened his clinched right hand and disclosed the curious little ring which Helen had' returned to him. As he looked at it his full lips stiffened into strnlebt. Iiard lines. He lifted his DEVELOP THE BUST SHE'SfA SIREN never be applied to you. "SIREN" 31 West 125th St New YorL NOTICE OF PUBLICATION.

"Goodby, everything!" he muttered grimly. Then he turned and walked briskly toward the railroad station. The Barber Hit It. On one -of bis visits to London Joachim, the great violinist, entered a barber shop for a shave. The barber did not know him and eyed his flowing locks with the air of a man who knew Just what ho would do to them when ! be got his customer In the chair. "Hair cut, sir?" he demanded, with n tone that called for an affirmative an swer. , ' The virtuoso signified his perfect sat isfaction with the length of his hir-' sute adornment. ' "Just n little long nt.the back," the barber Insinuated as he adjusted the , cioth. , j Joachim explained that he liked It J that way, and the tonsorial artist was silent for awhile. j "Rather thin on top, sir," he said, i conveying his own Idea that to sacrl-j flee length to thickness was poor policy, j But Joachim glared at the barber and ; tossed his lionlike mane. The barber I scraped away for awhile In a moody, discontented fashion. 'But It was hard ' to discountenance him. "Better let me trim the edges for ; you, sir. Just half an inch all around." I Joachim remained firm, however, and. then the barber, losing what little tact ; and ingenuity he had, vented his feel-' Un'Sintv at B.lh.ii "Won nt ,i,.,o if , . , ,1 for awhile by the absence of Sheck business but your own." : ' ; I ganw they lo8t flret Plac' ...
