Mr. Cunning ham requested of Helen. "I'd like to talk with Mr. Ennls." Helen left rather gaily. At least ahe wasn't going to be faced with a dull evening on this occasion. Sbe found the butler in the dining room, arranging her place. "there will be two, Ashe," she aald, with a pleasant lilt "And please give na something nice." Sbe turned and looked at the By George Clark THE GIRL POOR GiRLf ETC table. It waa coldly formal In Us long expanse of polished mahog any.

She paused aud there waa a hint of laughter In the corner of her eoftly curving Hps as ahe aald, "not too much service." She hurried then to her room to dress. Some Instinct that ahe did not stop to analyse prompted her to choose something unusual ly becoming. Silver cloth that would be lovely. But It was much too formal.

At last she selected a simple little dinner gown ot white chiffon with a spangled cocktail Jacket. When she entered her grand father's room her eyes were lit with a new radiance. The delight of being lovely and perfectly gowned, ot glowing wltb health and atandlng face to face with a new friend, ran joyously through her youthful person. "Charming, my dear," Mr. Cunningham remarked, and Helen was moved to go over and klx him. Cares;ej seemed to -fit her mood. "Has Mr. Ennls told you how he has reformer' me?" sbe asked. Bob looked uncomfortable, re membering what he had aald to her at the hospital. Had he act ually told this beautiful girl that she was a menace?" Helen laughed. Perhaps ahe saw that he waa impressed with her appearance. It was quite pos sible that she did, for she was perfectly normal. She did not wait for her grand father to answer.

Zeke Start Another Continued Story, So Wipe Your Spec. BY 7.KKK Hgi'KKK. IT WAS In Lakeview during the late 10'a that I first beard ot Frank Lowry, declared Tom Howell of Bprague Klver, a tew day ago, while commenting on the chivalry and character ot old timer In Oregon. I HAD squatted on home stead In the Coosa Lake valley and busluea quite often took me into the county seat While all the resldenta ot the place were at first new and atrange, atlll I would no mora than meet a man than he would eventually re mark: "Have you nuule the ac quaintance of Frank Lowry T she said ready." to Bob. "Dinner la "Good night, Mr. Ennui," Mr. Cunningham aald. "Sorry I can not Join you at dinner, but I trut you .will visit ua again." "Thank you, air," Bob an swered courteously, and left the possibilities ot the future to the future. He bad email hope that a girl like Helen would care to encourage hla visits. What abe was in this household he had not yet discovered, but it waa plain that Mr. Cunning ham waa very fond ot her. At any rate she waa aomeone above the reach ot a struggling law student. That bis thoughts ot her had gone ao far aa to take into ac count the apparent difference In their statloua would have been significant to Bob had be thought ot it. But he was absorbed with the moment itself. Helen's bright, richly colored hair and meltlngly aoft brown eyes were workiug their magic with blm. He scarcely knew what food was set before him, scarcely waa aware ot the unobtrusive butler's presence. The setting, delightful ly romantic, lent an atmosphere of unreality to the occasion. Could it be possible. Bob thought, that It waa he who aat opposite thla exquisite girl who talked In a musically modulated voice that tell upon hi- ears aa softly as the tinkle of a bell or the murmur ot a meadow brook? And at the end of dinner, when the deml tassea atood halt empty and Bos a cigaret glowed beneath tho thread ot smoke that curled upward from It. Helen suggested a paddle on the lake. They walked down to the boat house through a garden ot rosea. The air was heavy-scented with fragrance. In the opening beside a tiny pool Helen baited and lifted ber face to the stars. She was conscious ot an indefinably sweet pain at ber heart. So much beauty, she thought, carried a hurt. Waa it because it waa fleeting? But It wasn't. Gardens, the stars, moonlight, would en dure forever. "It is we who go on, we who leave It," ahe said to herself, while Bob atood watching her in silence, spellbound by her love liness. At that moment she understood that life is not simple for those who feel. Already In ber heart was stirring an Indecision, a realization of fate, that brought a pang. Impulsively, without thought. she reached out for Bob's hand. (To Be Continued) Friends He's a flue fellow, that Krank Lowry." I WENT to the county clerk to tile aome papers.
