She begins to doubt

Karris warns her that her father' f
health Is failing rapidly. She is con
trite over her neglect of George and
her father.
IN'OW GO ON WITH THE STORY
THREE days after her conver
sation .with George Harris In

died. He was sitting In his easy
chair and had been smoking. Hi
head dropped forward, and he
breathed heavily. Betty's mother
remarked. "Sheeee! He la asleep!"
Almost as sbs spoke his breath-.
lng stopped, and he slept. Indeed
the long sleep from which there
Is no awakening
Betty's mother went into hy
wassterlc, shrieking for him to come
back to ner. Betty was unnatur
ally calm. She telephoned for the
doctor and went next door for
George Harris, remembering that
he said to call on him at anjr time
GeorgB came at once. Placing
his hand on Mr. Brown's chest
he aald. "Betty, take your mother
upstairs. I will send my mother
in at once."
Betty was unable to get her
mother to leave the room until
Mrs. Harris came in to help her
Two hours afterwards her mother
was Quieted to some extent
George had received the doctor's
certificate of death and called the
head of her father's lodge and
the undertaker had removed the
body. i
The next three days were a bad
dream. She left everything to
George. Working with the head
of the lodge, he arranged the fun
eral at the neighborhood church
they attended intermittently.
Mr. Brown had left no will. In
the small cafe in the cigar store
he had a Iffa insurance policy for
five thousand dollars. George
took charge of the contents of the
safe and. in conjunction with the
head of Mr. Brown's lodge, they
arranged to sell the cigar store
for twelve hundred dollars, a low
price, but the only offer they had
The store had prospered only be
cause of the good will of Mr.
Brown's customers, and this die 1
with him.
Mrs. Brown put the money for
the store in the hank and at once
bought herself an attractive out
fit of mourning. She was highly
indignant at Betty's refusal to put
on black. She said Betty had no
reaped for her father's memory.
In the course of the next month
tha Insurance company received
the proofs they required, and had
handed Mrs. Brown her five thou-!
sand dollar check. When the doc !
tor and the undertaker were paid'
there was little but the five thou
sand left in the .bank. Betty real
ized she would have to do some
thing to bring in money for the

strongly opposed to this.
"Why try to find anything to
do?" she asked tearfully. "Hit
en't I enough to endure without
your leaving me In the house
alone where I never take a step
without being reminded of your
-0or. dear, dead father?"
"But, mother, we have only
'ive thousand dollars! That won't
last long."
"It will last for years! Before
that you will be married and
leave me all alone in the world!"
She closed the conversation with
a flood of tears which effectually
silenced Betty.
She had another scene when
ihe resumed her neglected danc
ing practice. Her mother came to
her room one morning and found
her going through her routines.
"Betty Brown, have you no
heart!" she exclaimed. "Your poor
father not cold In his grave, and
you doing thjse wicked dances
again. It Is like dancing on his
coffin!" She burst Into her ever
raady tears.
"Mother. it was father who
took an interest in my dancing.
He would not want me to neglect
it and throw away all the money
he spent on it! I'm not heartless.
I'm doing this to keep from think
ing of less pleasant things!"
"Trying to forget your poor fa
ther!" sobbed Mrs. Brown.
I am remembering my nice fa
ther as he was. We must go on
living. Nothing would make fa
ther happier than to know that I
am living as he wanted me to."
"You blame me for being sorry
he is gone! Poor dear, up in heav
en! He knows I cannot help but
cry while you dance!"
"Mother, I'm not going to
dance in public. No one will know
I am dancing unless you tell them.
shall keep in practice, though.

living, if. you don't let me work

sorrow for herself overcame her.
She left the room hysterical.
It took her months to gat over
It and borome normal again. Al
though Botty cried, less than her
mother, she was more depressed.
One Sunday, some eight or nine
months later, she went for a ride
with Harry Ford. He asked her
what she was going to do.
"Harry, I don't know how to do
anything." she answered. "Mother
will not let me work, and cries ev
ery time I suggest getting a job."
"How much money have you
got?" he asked, bluntly.
"Only father's life insurance,
five thousand dollars!"
"Bad stuff!" Is It in your nama
or your mother's?"
"My mother's, of course. Why
did you ask?"
"Better keep an eye on her.
Somebody will gyp her out of it."
"I guess there Is no danger.
Mother knows nothing -of money.
and always asks at the bank about
everything."
Home 'from her ride, Betty
found a middle-aged man at her
house talking with her mother.
She introduced him as Mr. Bratn
ard, a friend of her father's, who
had called to see how she was get
ting along.
Betty did not remember hearing
her father speak of Mr. Brainard.
and she did not like his looks. It
seemed Incredible that her father
had liked a man of his type. He
was meticulously dressed, and his
manners were so perfect as to
seem affected; but he showed such
a genuine interest In them, and
seemed so kind, that she was un
certain. His call was soon over, but be
fore he left he assured them that
he was glad to be of service to
them, and left his card with her
mother. He also insisted that Mrs.
Brown not give herself over
to
grieving. She was a young woman
and must go on with her life. He
was sure Mr. Brown would not ap
prove of her crying so much.
Betty looked at his card. He
was an investment banker, which
re-assured her of his standing in
the community. Her mother was
critical of her father s lodge mem
bers, who had not called as often
as sne tnougni iucj auumu.
Brainard told her he would come
around some afternoon and lane
them out for a drive.

relaxed, my aching throat was soothed and the whole thrilling adventure just seemed a

always remember the wonderful taste of that welcome Lucky, As I went around to visit
the men we'd rescued, I found many of them enjoying Luckies, too. We really couldn't
wait to get back to our ship and 'Luckies.' As an actual fact in returning to the

During the next week Mr. Brain
ard telephoned and did come In
his car and take them for a ride in
the country. He took them pasta
pretty subdivision two miles out.
He said he had bought a farm
there and cut it up Into city lots
and sold it through the real estate
firm whose name appeared on the
few unsold lots.
He had already made almost a
hundred thousand dollars out of
the transaction, and had many
lots left. All he had Invested was
twenty thousand dollars, and had
sold lots long before the mort
gage on the farm had come due
Mrs. Brown and Betty were
both very much impressed with
his story of the transaction and
the fact that father had such
wealthy and influential friend.
Betty thought of asking him for
a position In his office, but decid
ed to wait until her mother was
not present.
A week later Betty came home
to find Mr. Brainard bad taken
her mother for another ride. When
her mother returned she was all
aflutter. She had discovered the
reason Mr. Brainard was so sym
pathetic was because he had lost
his wife about a year before, and
so was able to sympathize with
her. He had asked her if he could
not come around and talk to her.
"I suppose the neighbors will
