But the cannot ao home to face Olive, and vanaert through the ttreett. Chapter 41 UNDER A CLOUD fHE hour for dinner had struck, when Santa forced herself back to th apartment "Hello,- gorgeous!" Th man whom ah had dreaded raj embracing htr. rWhara hare you been, llttl wan erer7" "Forgot th Mm," ah zcuMd herself. "Oueaa you're hungry. I'll tit down aa I am." Slipping hla arm about bar, ha guided her along th passage. Tld first," he coaxed her. "Don't I look tidy?" Then aha became aware that be wu nnwontedly excited. There waa nothing unuaual In th aspect ot th bedroom. "On the dressing-table." He could no longer rein himself. She picked up a llttl box, . "Open It," he encouraged. She gated at Its content aa tunned aa It It had contained tha Kohlnoor diamond Instead ot a modest brooch ot sapphires. "For mel But why?" "Why not?" He hued her shoul. der. "Don't men give present to th wives they lore?" Her face crumpled. She dug her self Into him. "What's there to cry about, my darling?" "Don't deaerr It Dont deserr you. So dear. So kind." She sobbed as It her heart would break. That evening they were lovers. Sb could tell him any time now that ah waa sure of him. At the moment she couldn't bring herself to besmirch her recovered peace with ugliness. During th next few days she .heard nothing from her ax-husband. At fret she didn't hope too much from th respite; it might be no mora than a deceptive lull. Whan week had been completed, the (rew optimistic. But wren with Dicky removed from the picture, sh was still un certain hew she stood with Olive. Her conscience scared up ghosts. It ha was pre-occupled, she at onca suspected that b had heard a rumor. .Against the evil day, she made a nervous effort to pile up goodwill In her own favor. They bad rid themselvea of th physical Dicky, but his memory walked In both their minds. Into th quiet room he intruded, dusk lengthening, shaded lamplight fall ing. In an effort to Ignore him Cllve took to reading, Santa to sewing. Cllve i Sung down the paper through which he had been glanc ing. "On Uvea and learns. When I look back, I'm araated that I could have stood for such lunaoy. I wouldn't again, whatever It coat." Sh guessed to what he was re ferring. "It'a easy to be wis after th vent, darling; bnt I don't sea what la we could have done." Reclaiming bis paper, he mad a wall ot It, from behind ajtlch he poke th truth. "W dragged Dicky Into our homel It waan't ao vastly differ ent." He'd said w out of politeness. Whatever happened now, sh could never make a clean breast to him. Cllve racked his brains for rem edies to correct this ghostly dis cord. Instinctively he felt that Dicky was still th cause ot It. While he waa fighting shadows, his wife was slipping from him. "I see you're wearing my brooch tonight," he smiled. "Of course I've known right along that a good deal of your jewelry was your other hus band's gift to you." "Scarcely hla gift, Cllve. B In herited It from hi mother. I paid for th resetting. He never bought m anything." "If It was his mother1, Basis, ti mora reason for returning It. You ought to bav done It the day you divorced him." "Guess I ought." "Well, please do," he requested. "And while we're on the subject, there's a heap more of his Junk that must go. That bureau, for Instance, that he bought for you on your birthday." Keit evening th bureau had vanished from the drawing-room. The furniture had been rearranged. OF SUICIDE RACKET MeclroM and vallay realdenta war warned today to ba on tha lookout tot sympathy racketeers," now re ported aa operating In California, It la called the "suicide dodge." A small boy or girl rings the door bell of a home excitedly and announcea tnat their mother haa awallowed poison In a fit of doapondency and SI la needed to procure an antidote at the drug store. An older person sits In an auto and calls earnestly for the child to hurry up. None can resist such an appeal and It thore la a dollar In the house, It la forthcoming and the auto rushes away to tha drugstore. In California cities the "gyp" haa been worked aa many as a don times In a day. Tha "fyppera" according to DAWSON Her obedience to bis wishes gav him a twinge ot compunction. As sh Joined blm, glancing up Ilk a llttl dog for his approval, he drew her to him. The return ot the Jewelry was unfortunate. It stirred up Dicky. He wrote Santa protesting. He wrote again; when she refused to answer, telephoned her. "Listen, Santa. Tbos things ar yours." "Not any longer, Dicky." "But I gav them to you." "Cllve bates to see nij wearing them." "Then you told him about our meetings?" She hung up. v His persecution, which she had hoped was ended, burst Into a new vigor. He bombarded her with let ters, telephone-calls, even telegrams. Sooner or later, aa In the daya when her divorce had been pend ing In Chicago, he would take to waylaying her. When the encounter happened. It was almost a. relief. A tang of spring was In the air. The hour waa eleven on a brisk morning, gilded with sunshine. She had croased to tbe Park, when she waa conscious that she waa being followed. Olanclng across her shoulder, she discovered blm almost nit her elbow. "0, lt'a you I" ah said simply. "It you don't want me, I'll leave." He removed his hat and stood bare headed. "You know I don't want you; but you'r looking 111, Dicky." "Rather to b expected." They struck out In the direction of th Metropolitan Museum. At last he broke tbe sllenc "I'm heart-broken." "You ought to be." They had reached the steps of th Metropolitan. She held out her hand. "Ia this all you had to say that couldn't be written 7" "There's more." , "I'm sorry," she murmured, "but to me you're dead." 'Dead!" He groaned as It she bad stabbed him. She tripped up the ateps. Before aha entered the Museum, she turned. With the disconsolate air ot a homeless dog he stood gaping after her. This proved to be the Bret encounter of a new attack. Olive would have had to have been blind not to notice that there waa something far wrong with Santa. She betrayed her condition In surreptitious ways. Whereas formerly they had read their cor respondence together, now she rushed to sort the mall before he could steal a glance at It. It the telephone rang when he was at home, sh would Jump up breath lessly: "For me, I expect" When It wasn't, th relief In her voice was apparent. Tedious evenings. Futile over tures, trailing off Into silence. Santa rose languidly. "My head aches, darling. I'm off to bed." Closing the book ot which he bad read scarcely a line, Cllve caught her hand. 'You shouldn't embroider so much. You try your eyes. You never did ttlL we lost our knack ot talk ing." "Have we? Don't be long In fol lowing." Tearing herself from him, with th swiftness of a doe ah disap peared. With stealth Cllve made hla es cape. Aa he reached Lou-Lou's the ater the audience was dispersing. Lou-Lou greeted hira with mockery. "What's Dicky been up to lately?" He related all he knew. 'Two and two make four," she nodded. "Dicky's been mooning like a love sick puppy. If you're correct, what won't I do to him?" 'What can you do?" 'I'll not let Dicky put off mar rying me any longer." And truly enough, on the morn ing ot the fourth day later a tele gram reached Olive's deek: "This Is th happy day. Lou-Lou." He rushed uptown to Santa; th path to paradise waa ending, para dise commencing. The telephon rang as he entered. Santa almost ran to It, but Cllve waa first. Said Dicky' voice: "That you, my darling?" Mortified beyond speech he hand ed Santa the receiver and passed Into the drawing room. Almost at once Sauta stood before him, white and trembling.

TILLER TO TRAIL CUT-OFF SLATED ROSEB mK3, On.. DM. IB.-(AP) Withdrawal by tha federal power board of landa along tha North Ump qua river to permit construction of the proposed highway from Roaeburg to Diamond lake la expected to re sult In an Immediate order by tbe federal bureau of public roads for a surrey of the route for the road. The highway has already been designated on the forest highway map and por tions have lrftiy been built, one section extending from Roaeburg eastward to Steamboat ranger station, 45 miles from this city, and the other from Diamond lake westward to Big Camas ranger station, a distance of 40 miles, leaving an uncompleted gap of 32 miles to be graded. Appropriation of original power site lands would have forced construction of the balance of the road to a high mountain-side, where suitable align ment and grade could not have been secured, under the new ruling the power company will be able to use only low diversion dams and conduits on power development below Toketee falls, beyond which the power site withdrawals are not affected by the board's ruling.

Soon the woodland seemed to dis appear and tbe two dolls, disguised as red foses. came to the stony mountain that they knew wss the location to the cave of the bats where the witch lived. There wasn't a tree or a shrub to hide them aa they started up the MIL There was Just great, ugly rocks about them. "Walt,' aald Inga, and she sat down and held up the little mirror In front of her. "Little mirror, where la the witch now?" she asked. Xlmmedlately the face of tbe mirror showed the door to the oave and then it showed a dark passage Inside and finally a dark room lit only by a roaring fire. Next to It as., the old witch. All about bar circled hun dreds of huge bate. "At least she la Inside," said Inga. "We must approach the .cave with out her seeing us." So they etarted-- on again, creeping up the mountain and hiding behind rocks. Soon they were at the door of the cave.

Just before they entered tbe room they hid the previous mirror and the lit tle bottle of water the woods fairy bad given them behind some rocks. But when they looked Into the witch's big room they were fright ened. There were so many huge bats that they feared they would have to fight. And a bat haa very sharp claws. 8o they went back Into the corri dor to lay plans. "Let's spill that little bottle of water," aald Plnocchlo. "It will flood the whole room and they will be driven out." "But It will aLo put out tbe fire, and a witch can only be killed by burning," aald Inga. . "That's right," said Plnocchlo, scratching his head. "Ill tell you what, I saw the embers of an old fire outside. We'll pile wood for a huge fire In the passage. Then we'll spill water from our magic bottle Into the witch's room. She will come run ning out this way. and Just before she gets to our wood-pile we'll set fire to It and she will be caught." That's Just what they did. When the water started flooding the witch's room, she and all her bats ran In terror out through the passsge, which waa ao dark and narrow that they did not see the fire until they ran right Into It and burned. And that waa the last of the witch. IT WAS A t)RAIT ON A KicM vr OH, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONS WITH IT ?
