I caught myself repeating mentally the old catch problem of my school days: - "When an irreslstable force meets an. immovable body " I waited breathless" y to hear Robert Savarln's reply to her as sertion that Marion was her rea son for refusing his sn:t. When it came it was couched In stcra, stubborn accents. "On the contrary," he . said slowly, "she Is one of the reasons why you should marry me." "Wha she was a baby," Lil lian replied bitterly, "her name was spoken In a Tile divorce suit, her innocent baby race pictured in the newspapers. It was no fault of mine. I will grant you that, but -ft happened. Do you th'nlf that now when she is Bearing young girlhood, and the old scan dal has been forgotten, that I will risk a repetition of that old pub licity? , Don't you suppose I have n't gone over this from every an gle since Harry so effectually and completely freed me from any ob ligation to him? I thought for a time that perhaps but I can't risk it I can see the headlines now. Ugh! They, would rake up every detail of that old ttme. No. Robert, I cannot and I. will not drag my child through that again." "How can you help 1t?" I ask ed coolly. "Mr. Underwood seems determined to get a divorce, whe ther you wish it or not."

"Why not let Marion decide the question herself?" I said. Robert Savar'n caught at my suggestion as a man in danger of drowning would at a rope flung to him. "Oh! my dear!" He turned to her with outstretched hands, and the passionate entreaty in h s voice, the worshipful love in his eyes were things to remember as seldom witnessed in this prosaic latter day world, "will you not do this leave the decision to the ch'.ld herself? You know what my life would be without you, you have told me " What Lillian Said. "That my life can never know complete happiness without you, Robert." She finished the sen tence bravely, then continued wearily, . yet inflexibly. "Howev er, that matters little beside keep ing one's faith. You know. Rob ert, and you, too, Madge, that the child is too young to know what the consequences of her decision would be. She adores you. Rob ert, and if anything could make me yield to my own selfish heart in this matter it would be the knowledge of her joy if I should marry you. Dear heart!" she turned swiftly and put her hands on Robert Savarin's shoulders. United Army Stores SOME SPECIALS 3 lb. O. D. All Wool Army Blankets 92.03 O. D.

The man's deli cacy of honor and of perception wonld not let him reply only as he did. "Nor:" he said hopelessly, "bat oh! my God!" I harried away try'ng to move noiselessly, btrt I don't think ei ther of them knew or cared for my presence or absence. Going straight to my own room I lock ed the door and lay down, trying to conquer the raging headache which my worry orer Dicky's un explained absence had brought on, and the excitement of the last few minutes had intensified. Al ter awhile, exhausted. I fe'l asleep, was awakened by Lillian's familiar knock upon the door When I had opened the door 1 saw that she had bur'ed under her iron will all trace of the conflict from which she had won so sad a Tlctory. "Robert asked me to make his excuses to you, Madge," she said quietly. "He returned to New York on the 5:20 train, and will not be out again for several days." I looked at her curiously, di vided between disapproval of her severity to the man who loved her so devotedly, and admiration of her inflexible adherence to her own code of honor. She smiled at me sadly, yet with a subtle hint of whimsicality that startled me. "I know ererytblns you would like to say," she said. "Will it i-omfort you any to know that l promised Robert Savarin that when Marion was old enough to rfealize the consequences of her own decision I would abide by it?" "Oh! Lillian'. In my delight I almost smothered her. "Perhaps yon have not reflect ed." she said dryly, "that by that time Robert Savarin and I will be old, old people. But it has helped him to bear it, and that is all that matters." Sh shrugged her shoulders as as If she were slipping a burden from them, then walked toward me, and took me by the should ers. "A trnce to my affairs!" she said. "LefB consider yours for a minute or two. H-m." She innVerl m over critically. "You look as if the judge was Just about to say 'And may God have mercy on your soul.' Now da something to please me.
