Her fa, titer concealed ilte'e rebuffs behvid a amiling countenance and tavght Maraha not to care deeply for any one excepting hereel. And now both lather and moi er are deadt and ilaraha at elztern ha'i gone to live with her aunt, Mia Gertrude Moore, which forbidding apluater haa no human contacta, but rather "duttea." Chapter Two TEN YEARS 'T'HB ten years that lay between Mist Gertrude Moore at thirty and Miss Gertrude Moore at forty taught Marsha a great deal o how to manage with many other things. Even at sixteen she had learned to look uncaring when she heard some ancient gallant murmur, "A daughter of the gnus!" some sport's rough and hearty, "Jove, quite rip ping!" or the honest and fervently breathed "Wonderful girl!" which sprang from the lips of a boy. After sixteen was passed, she didn't have to pretend unconcern. She was so accustomed to full ad miration by that bcur that sbe felt no flutter from It Admiration was so frequent that It wore the gray garb of the entirely expected and the bound-to-occur, and It often "quite wearied" her. Upon the streets, In restaurants and In theaters, men glanced her way casually to have their glance hear your youngest boy nu croup You'd better go home to blm. Aud it you do your best to help your wife care for him and to remember your family, I shall say nothing of this." Marsha stepped Into the taxlcab that had followed the one In which she had started her futile journey with Herbert Craven. Doctor James followed her. "Do you mind If I smoke?" he asked. She choked out a "No." "Would you like to smoke?" he asked after a little progress over an assertive stretch of cobblestones. Sbe gave him a blank look wblch grew of surprise. Then she said a weak "Yes." "I carry them," he said, bringing forth a neat, small leather case, "for young ladles who try to elope" "Does my aunt know?" she asked. He nodded. Then he put bis hand over hers. But his touch was unlike any she had ever had from any other man; It was only kindly and com forting, and vastly paternal. SOME DAY," he said slowly, "the love that you need will come to you, but It will never come through cheating. I know what you need, and of the shortage In your heart's diet, but you would not have bad love from Craven. A man who de serts his family cannot give that; he can give but a weak display of rather wornout passion. Let me see you are seventeen and you felt you WEA1UER IN JUNE JL nnm with rump uuul mini EXCEEDING USUA L 'mSbm!

Hutchi son, lo?sl meteorologist, show a mon'th of generally seasonable wea ther with temperatures averaging slightly below normal and precipita tion a little In excess of normal. Clear or partly cloudy skies prevailed with two short periods of freshening ralna. Unsettled weather predominated the first week of June with occasional light showers. Moderately cool wea ther with clear skies or changeable cloudiness beginning In the second week continued through to the 23rd. Showery conditions opening again on the 24th held through the 27th. Clearing skies prevailed the last three days with maximum temperatures rapidly reaching higher levela daily The highest maximum for the month recorded 100 degrees on the 30th. A minimum tempersture of 38 degrees was the lowest. June rains, although confined to short periods snd mostly light In character, were quite beneficial to agriculture. In some of the outlying districts of the valley showers weie somewhat hoavler and did much to help renew sou moisture. Precipitation totaled 0.83 Inches and was In excess of normal by 0.10 Inches. Seasonal rainfall continues far below normal. At the close of June rainfall for the period totaled 11.00 Inches and as compared with normal for a like period, a deficiency of 6.48 Inches is shown. At times during the showery wea ther occasional flashes of lightning were observed over the mountains and thunder was heard in a few in stances, but none of these thunder storms extended Into the valley. Lightning fires In the forested areas of the mountalna apparently were few, and unimportant. Wind movement totaled 4,909 miles, which Is a slight Increase over the average for June. Prevailing winds were northwest and hourly velocities averaged 6.8 miles per hour. The highest maximum velocity .for the month was recorded st 27 miles per hour on the 23rd. Character Max. Mln.

MOVE HER BUREAU Payne arrested and condensod; a little bright gleam would come to their eyes, Marsna measured men by the . gleam and Its Intensity, and to stretch Mr. Kipling's line a bit, she learned about women from them. Most women let tbelr faces sour at such exhibition, touched a male ' arm with effort to tllrhten tha rfn. mestle leash, or after a bitter glance at Marsha, stared, angry, ahead. Women, as a group, didn't like her. They saw her as a n'enaca to a solid and domestlo peace or to a budding anair; and one does not make frienda with a menace. Marsha, at twenty-alx, waa loudly rank In admitting that women bored her, and she thought they did. She did not consider tha fact that the man who la stupid In business usually proteases a distaste for bust ness: that the woman who la hi. TOrced saya there are no hannv mar. rlagea and that the girl who cannot noia ner lover saya all men are liars: that every distaste and aversion may oa a confession of a failure. CHE walked alone a good nart of the time, alwayi when aha did nor. select irom the ranks one of the many admiring males. To be Just to her, women did not give her a chance ana men gave to her too much chance; and this often makes trouble. Doctor James, her aunt's Rector and the Rector of St. Timothy's, waa the one man In the world whom she respected and the one man whom she tried to avoid. He always made, In an almost unexplored chamber of her heart, the bitterest ache. It was ha who had retrieved her from an attempted elopement with the music teacher at tha Church School. Ha had found her, and tha mettlng-eyed Mr. Craven (who was well named) just In time. "Well, Marsha," said Doctor James. She turned, to go white. "Craven," Doctor James went on, "I -wu.v UUJ, .11 J UCUI child, tiers will be tho right sort of love roryou. Now let me see. what could not stand It much longor with Miss Gertrude? And you thought, child, that Craven really cared" "Yes" "Well. VOU are Tnlatalran Vaii nDn stand It with Miss Gertrude, and Craven didn't really care. Remember that, and remember that what you keep of decencv wilhln. m life. The things that are outside don't need to matter. "MISS Gertrude IS AIIIrMa tnr vnn I know, and I fear she always will be. But there are hnnlra nnH ni,-ti,rA and music. And some day, my dear 1, tier for v are you reading?" She told him; she was beginning to feel "a little haflar " hut iha ,Mii clung to hla band In a way that touched him and that told him too much of her fear that waa made by her thought of "going home." He went with Martha Intn fU. Gertrude's presence that day. When suss Gertrude Bald, "1 did not dream I did not rirnam that rha, could be love In a church school" hla eyes met Marsha'a and he saw'' a flash In them (that echoed one In hla eyes) and he thought, "Thank heaven, she has a sense of humor; that ought to helpl" Dr. James saw In Mnraha a strangely thwarted little girl, one who still showed, after all A tint r.aN trade could do. tho rnmnnnta nt hnr childish desire to please, to be loved, and to live a happy life. But he doubted thnt Aunt Gertrude's strange code would permit her niece to develop normally. He nromlsed hlmaair that ha would call on Marsha often and lend her books, and he did, to build In her a pretty reading taste. And one bad day, when she followed him, wistful and hungry to the hall, he slipped Into her band a packet of clgarets; grinning down at her as he did It and aa he said, "Not In bed; a Or of that tort would be too difficult to explain to your worthy aunt!" (Cetyriitl, M4, I, K. Berilead-Terlet) "Shocking Otrty" Is a paitlma for Marsha, tomorrow.
