UNDER A CLOUD
fHE hour for dinner had struck,
when Santa forced herself back
to th apartment
"Hello,- gorgeous!"

"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.

The Witch's Cave.
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

about them.

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

"At least she la Inside," said Inga.
"We must approach the .cave with

and down the long passage. 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.
