â- / { Htip The Red Cross "SAIADA The Jade God By MARY IMLAY TAYLOR CHAPTER XII Pam had ordered her little tea- table carried into the library. Sh« rarely made tea there unless Burle- son asked h, but today he was out and the great fireplace tempted her. It was a gray day and the leap of the fire would be like the heart of a welcome â€" warm and bright. It was nearly five o'clock. She had barely time to give a few more dainty touches to her tea-table. Her eye caught the glimmer of the green jade god on her uncle's li- brary table. The sight (jf it re- called his face yesterday, the sudden red streak between his brows; she •toed an instant looking at the cu- rious little green image, its uncan- ny, elfish face, its pointed beard, green as seaweed, its perfect hands. It squatted as an Oriental god should, and the light from the fire gleamed on its bald jade head. Sud- denly fancy seized her; she lifted it and put it gently down on her table beside the flowers. "Uncle can lend it to me for an hour anyway," she thought, and glancing again at the clock, forgot it. ♦ * * Mark was coming!

She tried to thrust out disturbing thoughts, but old Fosdick's manner, his treat- ment of the man, had been so â€" fO disconcerting; She was a little disturbed still, though her eyes w-ere shining, when there was a •tlr in the hall, the lifting of t por- tiere, a new voice, and then the tall man with the level eyes. She held out a frank hand. "I'm so glad you could come!" she said; "I thought it might be hard for you to find the time." He took her hand and held it, looking down into her eyes. "It's been a thou.sand times hard- er to stay away," he replied sim- ply, "and I've tried â€" I never meant to come here again!" She gave him a questioning look; the firelight caught her face and showed it ivory pale. "I don't know what ypu mean, but you'll tell me?" she breathed softly. "I came to tell you." "Sit down then, let me give you a cup of tea," her voice faltered. "No!" he said quickly. Suddenly, impulsively, she put her hand out and touched his arm. "It can't be as bad as that â€" and I'm your friend!" she assured him sweetly. He caught her hand and kissed it passionately: then he let it drop and folded his arms. "I'm not fit to do that," he said harshly, "I've played a part." Then he told her the simple truth about his meeting with Lindon and Banks, and the wager. "I was nothing but a shabby im- poster, even my name's false," he said bitterly. "I don't deserve to be spoken to. It burns me up with shame. I made a vow I wouldn't come back here under false pre- tense?. I was going away when you met nie the other day. You ought to refuse to speak to me!" She seemed to consider this, for she said nothing for a while, and her silence hurt him. "I can't understand," she said in a low voice, "why a man like you should come here like that! To let yourself be â€" well, be brought here on a wager." "To make you understand that I'd have to tell you the story of my life," he replied hoarsely, "the whole story!" "Yes?" she said, gravely, interro- gatively. He straightened up, his haggard eyes met hers. "My God, I â€" I can't do that!" he cried brokenly; "I'm a coward â€" I can't do that!" But she was silent, waiting. The girl's quiet attitude, the curve of her cheek turned toward him, gave no hint of the turmoil in her own mind. She recalled â€" too vividly â€" Fosdick's attitude, his lean old black-clad shoulder turned on the younger man, the biting mockery of his tone when he repeated the name, "Byram," a false name, as MASCOT OF THE IRISH How You Can Get Quick Relief From Sore, Puinhil Piles » A 'ft "^ *1 * ' Most people seem to think the on- ly way to get relief from their sore, painful olles Is by local treatment Local treatment may give tempor- ary relief from the itchiim but you can eaally see wliy aucb trent- ment wll not cor- rect the cause or your plies.

She was shaken with dismay, yet his very presence there appealed to her, reassured her be- lief in him. "What is your name?" slie asked him, in a low voice, watching him. He lifted his head. Would this end it? Would she know at once? "Mark Grant," he replied slow- ly, letting the two words drop into the silence. Then he turned and looked at her. She did not know! How could she? It was fifteen years ago! The relief of her ignorance made his heart leap; she did not re- eoil, she did not look abhorrance at him, the namk meant nothing to her. She was still concerned with the wager. "I can't see how you came to do it," she repeated. "Teddy Banksâ€"" her gesture was disdainful â€" "and Landon, I know them!

She nodded; she could not speak, for he had her hand in both his; she could feel the emotion that shook him. But still he did not •peak. "I think you must have had some reason for it," she said simply; "I can't believe ill â€" of you." "Don't look at me like that!" he exclaimed; "turn your eyes away!

He hoped for an hour of quiet, but in five minutes Joan was back, announcing that tlic map of the world was all laid out on the floor. "How did you get the world to- gether so quickly?" asked her fa- ther. "That was easy," exulted Joan. "I turned the pieces over, and on the other side 1 saw a picture of a man. I just put the man together right, and when the man was to- gether right, the world was right."

Clarke The good brown earth is with us yet â€" as to that we were be- ginning to have some doubt â€" It is so long since we had seen it â€" but today there are patches showing up here and there; a grey-brown circle at the base of the chestnut tree; little bits of ploughed land appearing in the kitchen garden; small patches looming up darkly from the otherwise snow-covered fields that were ploughed last fall. And, while we may be overly op- timistic, we think by present in- dications that many of our moim- tains of snow may get away without creating any serious flood conditions. If that be so, it will Indeed be something to be thank- ful for. And do you know the crows are out again? Those noisy troublesome birds that are such a pest in saim- mer but so welcome in winter be- o;-.use we credit them with a fore- knowledge of spring, which they probably think is somewhere just around the corner. It win be nearly a month be- fore our baby chickens arrive â€" and when they come they will be sexed pullets. Partner and I never agree when the time comes each year to order chickens. Partner al- ways wants plenty of cockerels. I would rather be without male birds altogether and raise only pullets. However we generally compromise by ordering mixed chickens. But this year we are both having our own way. We are getting pullets In March and cockerels in May. I always say that by having both sexes together the cockerels are raised at the expense of the pullets, even when they are too young to be separated. The greedy little males always boss their poor little sisters at every turn, crowding around the feed troughs, showing by their action.9 it doesn't matter who gets left as long as they don't. And do they eat! Just about twice as much as the wee pullets. But still, if no one raised these bossy young cockcrel.«, fhere wouldn't be any roast chickens on our tables, would there? We can always sell more dressed chickens than we raise so I feel I have to overcome my aversion and fall in line with Partner's idea';, but always with a grim satisfaction that those strut- ting, gluttonous birds will finally get their deserts. Oh dear â€" my heart practically skipped a beat jr.st now. Partner opened the front door suddenly and called out "Bob â€" where are you going?" "Bob" I thought, "our Bob â€" was it possible?" I ran to the door. No, it wasn't our Bob â€" it was young John's brother, looking for John.
