aiders Jonathan Thayer's pro
posal to elope with him. Ha
would leave Damon, whom as had
(red after hastily concluding that
Vara had helped her father,
Julian Lake, if. hit plot to peea
as the painter at the lata Nich
olae Thayer's pictures. When
Frances, Nora's cousin, returns
from a stay in a sanatorium, eAe
tells Nora that her estranged hus
band, David Lindsay, ts to return
to her and their two children.
Vntil that moment Nora had
thought Fran and young Dr. Fer
gus More in love, although when
Nora had told him so he had
called her blind and kissed her.
Then the reunited Lindsays leave
for Arizona, . Nora wondering
whether Fran had lacked the
courage to go with Fergus. .
Chapter 34
JULIAN SEES HIMSELF .
A FTER the train carrying Davtd
and Fran and their children
had gone they all came back to a
house that seemed empty and for
lorn. Petle Baker lay In the hall with
his black nozzle between bis brown
paws. . .
"Poor old Petle, you miss llieoi,
don't you?" Nora whispered.
He thumped his tall once on the
floor and was still.
Fergus had to hurry off at once.
Aunt Em said she would bave time
for three lessons; Hallle disap
peared Into her tiny room. Lite
went on. Tbe people that you loved
dropped out of your life and you
had to go on as though nothing had
happened. . v
Someone was playing a tattoo on
the front door and Nora ushed out
to find ber father there.
He looked very shabby, but there
was still a rakish gayety about him.
She bad dreaded to see him. She
expected a broken man, humiliated,
pathetic; but be was unchanged.
"Don't look at me as though I'm
an escaped convict. It was a bad
break, but such things will bap
pen!" She drew blm Into the back par
lor and closed the door. He asked
ber what bad happened until she
told him what Damon Intended to
do.
"I'll go away again. : She won't
find me!"
"Julian, you can't I Go out to
Damon and tell her you're willing
to go through with 1L"
"I can't do that."
He walked the room. Suddenly,
be laid bare tbe dark secrets, the
small tblngs that bad humiliated
him and burned In his heart. Tbe
terrible struggle to keep from
breaking down, to come at last to
some kind of recognition. He bad
bad no talent, and even earneBt
work bad not brought him anything
but Jeers. But ho had gone on hop
ing. Nora had only half guessed
these things, but as be talked she
remembered days when he bad
painted when they had not' bad
enough to eat, with Julian fever
ishly hopeful over soma poor daub.
"Everyone laughing at me. Aud
I thought some day I'd show them."
He was walking up and down tbe
room talking fevorlshly as be laid
before her the story of those years.
Even these last weeks that he bad
spent at Cape Cod had been an un
bearable struggle to go on with tbe
craft be loved. He had slept In the
barn of an artist, eaten where and
when he could, penniless, too proud
to let her know.
"I'd earn my dinner with a story,
by making them laugh at ma. Ood,
I knew that tool"
Nora sat still. For her father bad
stripped himself of all his glamour
and showed her It was his bope
that some day he would succeed.
It was dreadful for ber to aea him
with the look In bis eyes of a dog
wbo has been kicked.
"I'm a failure and what's worse
a fool."
"Don't, Julian. Don't," aha
whispered.
But now be could not atop. He
cursed himself for baring brought
her nothing but misery. She saw
clearly that In this last dresdful
thing be had done, be bad thought
of her and Aunt Em and Hallle, of
what money could do for them.
"Money, It's always money. The
secret of happiness tf there Is
any such thing is money."
He called himself a vagabond, a
failure, a fool. He did not listen
to ber as she told bliu that she still
believed in him. For he had strip
ped away the last lllustun. He had
faced himself at last and his long
burled sense of frustration and fear
sprang out at him In full force to
throttle him.
"I'm only an old vagabond," be
said at last sinking duwu on tbe
couch. "
"Julian darling, we're both vaga
bonds," she laughed with a dread
ful broken note In ber voice. "No

matter what Damon doea we can
bear if
The name of Damon roused blm
to fresh anger. Ha accused Damon
now In bis halt-maddened state for
bis downfall, for the jeering laugh
ter that would always follow the
mention of hla name. He turned
on ber all the force of bis hatred
of himself. He scarcely knew what
be said now; and Nora was fright
ened. Then he ceased reviling Damon.
He sat very still and Nora did not
dare to go near blm. He -might
break down and she could not bear
that Her father bad thrown a bril
liant searchlight on bis past and
she saw now why she bad loved
him so deeply even when be was
most rash and Impractical; for he
had struggled toward an Ideal. And
falling that, he seemed to care for
nothing else.
Sbo did not know bow long she
sat there In that silence. She could
not find a word to say, and she did
not dare to put her arm about bis
shoulders. - It be should break
down she felt as though It would
he the end of everything. .
Then at last he looked up. The
old Julian with bis fire and cbarm
stood, before her.
"I must make ber see; she can't
do what she means to do."
. "What do you meant" ,
"I'm going."
"Where?' ' '' -
"It's a place I have to And alone."
"t believe In you," she lied
staunchly.. ,
But he smiled at her, flung open
the door, tramped down the ball.
She saw him run down tbe steps
like a boy.. But when she went to
tbe window to watch him go past
she saw he was a shabby old man
who walked as though he had lost
his purpose. She stood there until
be disappeared, tears blinding her.
The day passed somehow. She
spent part of It looking up and
down the street to see If ber father
were not coming back. She should
bave gone with him. But she knew
be would not have allowed It. He
was going to Damon. Perhaps
Damon would not go on with the
suit. But If she did . . . it Julian
were aent to prlBon . . .
How empty the house wasl
Without tbe children It seemed for
lorn, only the sound of Hallle's
typewriter tapping so steadily. Mr.
Dusenbury had only allowed her
to have the morning to see Fran
off. But after seeing her father aha
could not go back to the office.
She walked about, waiting for
Fergus to como home. But when
he returned he had bis office hours
to keep. At last the patients were
gbbeV' Nora went In to blm.
"Fergus, Julian's been here. Ha
was going to see Damon. He hasn't
come back. Fergus, I'm frightened."
"Steady now," he said, "nothing's
happened, has lit" ;i
"No, but something may."
"Do you want me to drive yon
out there?"
"If you would, Fergus?"
He wrapped ber up In tba rug
when they got in hla ear, but she
shlverod as she turned to ask blm,
"Ton shouldn't go away like this,
should you?"
"It's all right, Nora."
She clung to his strength now,
but she had never known the drive
to be so long. She leaned forward
as though she could urge on the
car that Jolted and bumped over
the road. Far off she could aea the
river with Its floating cakes of Ice.
At last they were on tbe driveway.
Deep . violet shadows lay on . tba
snow and the sun struck gold from
the windows of tba old house.
"Go and ask, Fergus, If Damon la
there. If she'a all right?"
Sba sat huddled under the rug,
her face so wild and white that
Fergus could not bear to look at
her. She watched him disappear.
Fergus found ber sitting like a bird
huddled In Its feathers when be re
turned to ber.
"Damon isn't borne. Sbe and
your father went for a walk along
the river."
"Oh, Fergus!"
She sprang from the car. Noth
ing c'jid keep ber now from going
with blm. Tbey walked toward the
river and found a trodden path tbat
ran beside It, and skirted the
woods, Nora hurried beside Fergus
without a word. As far as they
could see this path was empty.
She clutched his arm) Her father
couldn't have done anything. But
she remembered those wild threats
be had made against Damon.
"Oh. Fergus, I csn't see them
snywhere," she cried. "I can't even
see their footsteps. Do you sup

WHAT CAN anyone gain by buying ;
unknown products?
And why should anyone buy them, when
you can always be safe by asking for brands
of recognized quality?
The lure of unknown products is t often a
"bargain price." The clerk may say they
are "just as good" as the popular advertised
brands.
But isn't the approval of millions of people
worth more than the word of one?
Advertising can not create character for a
product. But it does place established
character on trial.
The advertised product has &r reputation
at stake. . ' ' .
It must make good to hold your confidence.
One false claim would be fatal. ' '
The substitute product is an unknown
brand, with nothing to lose.
In appearance, it may imitate the product
you know. ' ,
Over the counter, any claim may be made
for it.
Only by sad experience can you prove that
claim untruel
Think of this the next time anyone tries to
sell you something "just as good."
Such "just as good" products are urged upon
you for only one reason. There is more
profit in selling them. ,
The merchant who permits and encourages
substitution is looking at today's sales slips. ,
Not at tomorrow's loyal customers.
These facts are published by this newspaper i
to protect its readers. j ;' '
Whenever you shop, ask for standard
advertised products. Insist on getting them.
Be warned by the words "just as good" that
there is something better. , , ,,
When you are guided by names you know
you can be sure of constant quality. Of
definite purity. Of honest weight. Of full
value in return for the money you spent.
