Lodely's relief at not baring to frame a suitable mes sage to a dying man made her al most her old boisterous self as she stepped out Into the drive and be gan to shout conversation. "Afternoon, Mr. Cane! Goln' up to aee Mr. Quentln? I'm afraid he's a good bit weaker today. His .at Mrs. Lodely waited, attentive .'or once. But no further Informa tion was offered. Mr. Cane'a neal smirk slid Into place again and bis everyday voice uttered a common place about the weather. Mrs. Lodely's mind, slow with years of well-being, relinquished Its curiosity.

And It Mra. Quentln agrees, of course." "Trald Babs Isn't home. As a natter of fact, she'a atayln' over at our place tor a bit." Mrs. Lode ly, embarrassed' as always by the man's smirking deference, launched Into . superfluous explanations. "Seemed the best plan, wltb things as they are here; though Babs Is such a quiet little soul, she wouldn't have been In the way, ex actly. But then Mark's taken such a fancy to ber, that's a blessing, too; they spend hours together. Leila must come along and play with them one day soon." "Very kind of you, I'm sure, Mrs. Lodely. - Leila would like It Wouldn't you, Leila?" "There eomea our Annie," said Leila pirouetting. "Isn't her face red!" Both adults turned and Mr. Cane, elaborately exouslng himself, re traced a few steps and took a tel egram from the hand of tbe girl who cam sheepishly up the drive. Pompous creature! thought Mrs. Lodely, Irrltatedly watching tbe Junior partner as he opened and road th telegram. Leila had re captured hla disengaged hand and was banging upon It In a manner Mrs. Lodely considered "common." - "Ow, daddyl You're squeodglng me! Owl" The child wriggled free, her face puckered between laughter and tears. Her father looked In her direction but Mrs. Lodely had tbe impression that he neither saw nor heard her. He folded up the tol gram and thrust It Into a pocket, then almost Immediately took It out to put It carefully away In a pocket-book which he produced for th purpose. "More bad newaf" enquired Mrs. Lodely. She laughed senselessly. "I shouldn't hare thought we'd any t us any mora to lose!" "On, no bad news, no!" returned Mr. Can. "A trivial business matter." Ha spoke so absently servant though she really enjoyed the hearty Informality that waits on Itself. Day by day, now, ber life was being emptied of these things and leaving ber emotionally face to face wltb her husband, her crippled son and her self. From thought ot eight-year old Mark sbe fled, as sbe had fled since the day ot bis accident And thought ot herself detached, hon est thought was Impossible to her; sbe bad nevor In ber life at tempted It But thought of her husband crime more easily, though lu blind-alley fashion. Without bis horses and bis dogs, what could he do? She tried to Imagine him enduring even one day on the tiny Income that re mained to them, but the construc tive effort was too much tor her. Besides, they planned to go abroad and Imagination broke down be fore life In a country that was not England. Sbe began to cry loudly, ex asporatedly, like a child. Sbe hur ried Into her houso, and flung her self from room to room. She bad come to tbe open win dow ot the morning-room and as she stood botore It tbe sound ot the children's voices drifted In. Mark's was thin with petulance, Barbara's unusually round and vi brant for a child ot six. Her honey gold curls bobbed Into view as she darted onto tbe lawn In pursuit ot a rolling ball. Before It bad been retrieved, Mrs. Lodely saw ber husband come from behind the shrubs that sheltered Mark's spinal carriage aud stoop to speak to tbe beautiful child on the grass. Then Sam Lodely went deter minedly across the lawn, down a path sentinelled with goldon-rod. and shut himself Into a distant summer-bouse. Little Barbara Quentln, looking gravely after blm, nodded to horselt as though she conned over a lesson. The sound of the shot came al most immediately. Mrs. Lodely climbed out ot the window and be gan to run, shouting his name. Rut oven her tumbling and baffled mind expected no answer. (Copyright. 1911.

SYNOPSIS: Santa gives a party for Toyland after Inga and Pinoc chlo return from burning a witch who had turned Inga Into a rag ged old doll. Inga has a magic, gold mirror and a basket (hat la never empty which once belonged - to the witch. CHAPTER XI. THE DWARF. All the time Inga and Flnocchlo had been returning home so happily there was a. very evil dwarf on the mountain, where they had found the witch. This dwarf was cooking a magic potion which he planned to use to revenge the witch's death. It wasn't widely known, but the dwarf was the witch's brother. Peo ple in the fairy world seldom saw him. He just lived underground and did odd Jobs for his sister. The dwarf was a tiny, little old man wltb a hump back, black eyes and huge ears that stuck up above his cap. He was so ugly that the witch used to send htm to frighten children. He would suddenly appear standing on the edge of a school book and then he'd disappear so suddenly that you couldn't tell whether you'd really seen him or not. But he planned In some way to harm Toyland. Two dolls had burned his sister. And although he didn't know as much as she did about magic there were a few things he remem bered, such as making a magic potion that put people to sleep lor twelve, hours. When he had hla potion bubbling nicely over the fire be poured It Into tiny little molds and let It cool. When he dumped out the molds he bad a whole dish of tiny, little balls that looked Just like candles. He colored them all bright ptnk and slipped them Into a leather pouch. "Ha, Ha." he chuckled, "I guess that will fix them. One of those lit tle pills would put a giant to sleep to say nothing about some silly dolls' Then he pushed a gate across the entrance to his underground home, pulled up his belt real tight, pulled his cap down as far as bis big ears would permit and set out with great, big strides to go to Toyland.. But on the road he met a huge rat. "Say, Mr. Rat,' he called, "let me ride on your back.' The rat agreed and they went through the woods like a gray streak. Soon they were at the toyshop. "Guess I'll Just stay out here and wait for you,' said the rat. "This Is none of my business." "I won't be long," said the dwarf, "hee. hee, hee." He slipped Into the toyshop and when Santa wasn't looking he walked up to each of the dolls with a silly grin on his face, and said, "Have a candy. They're very good." The little pink candles looked so good when he held them out that the little dolls never gave tt another thought. They all grabbed for aomt and popped them into their mouths. Xn a twinkling they were all asleep. Santa was sitting by the fireplace, The dwarf Has a tiny, little old man with a hump bark, black eyes, and huge ears that stuck up over his cap. putting together a toy cart, and he didn't see any of this. When all the toyshop was quiet and nobody could see what the dwarf was doing he slipped around and took all the keys out of the toy-trains. Jumping Jacks, toy carts and doll cupboards, and stuck them In his pouch. ' Then he bopped right out of the window, and onto the back of tbe rat that was waiting for blm and was off. Can you guess why be did It? '.tomorrow Hunting the Keys.
