“John Burton is the mime I am best

Again Alice was bewildered, but her

“Don't you know where she lives?”
“No. That Is—we haven't met for
some time until today.”
The qualifying cause “until today” ,
struck John as singular. “Do you
mean that you saw her in the depart- •
ment store?" he inquired.
Miss Martin nodded. It was now her
turn to be surprised at such ready rec-
ognition of Helen’s whereabouts in
business hours. But it was manifest-1
ly impossible to carry the discussion ’
further.
“My own house is not far distant."
said John. “Let us take her there. ‘
and send for a doctor.”
“Did she try to commit suicide?” in-
quired the Martin girl, in an awed
voice.
“It looks something like that?" said
John grimly.
Helen was installed in a perfectly
appointed bedroom. A doctor, hurried-
ly summoned, announced that after a
rest, some light food ami a hot bath
the invalid would be as well as ever.
John had come in to ascertain the
doctor's verdict. He was still rather
in a quandary. Turning to Alice, with
the grave smile and inscrutable air
which invariably puzzh-d those who
knew him, he said quietly:

struggle.

were sent for a glorious ride into

unaided into the house.
Meanwhile. Burton was entertaining
his pretty guest at tea. Realizing that
the girl's health was almost fully re-
stored, he ventured to say that she
must surely be thinking now about re-
turning home. Although he had ascer-
tained from the nurse that Helen had
never shown the least desire to com-
municate with her parents, he was
utterly astounded when she broke out
in tearful rebellion.
“I don’t wiint to go home,” she
sobbed. “You can't think what it

house—to be sent away from such sur-
roundings to a miserable flat in a
