"! didn't realty hurt her very
much. ' continued Miss Hosanna.
Hate took a few more turns around
the room.
"Try to understand," she contin-
ued steadily. She was quite her-
setf again—too), composed, patient
with him. "I was fighting for the
tittte Itsad in tife, for ttie tittle!
had ever had, for the littie 1 wanted.
1 can't tive on without Ruth. Life
would be too hideousty toncty. When
you came and began to interfere I
got desperate. When you put Joan
in the doctor's hands and stopped
thomiiklgotreckteys. 1 thought,
though I'm not sure of it, that Jane
was gcttittg a little suspicious about
the milk, thadhcrteaveitinthe
butter's pantry, but before Rose
took it up 1 slipped in from the
dining-room and added the mercury.
Once Jane enmo in from the kitchen
just after [had put tl)e bottle back
in my pocket. 1 pickcd up a glass,
as if that was what 1 was after, and
went out of the pantry. Several
times, whenthe doses were due, the
mitk went ttp to Joan's room be-
fore I had a chance to prepare it.
The first time ttiat happened I used
my master-key and went intoJoan's
room during the night. She woke.
I was going to say I had come to
close the windows because I was
afraid of a storm. Butfwasstar-
ttedand got out. f didn't dare to
risk going again titttonigist. Then
I had to add the mercury to the
water bottle, since you had stopped
the mitk. I thought Jane had acted
rather queer, when Rose said no
more mitk must besent up. It was
odd, too, that she and Rose kept so
quiet about Daisy's death. ! began
to suspect that they were watch-
ing me, butldon't think they realty
were."
She stopped a moment, as if turn-
ing thisover in her mind. "Then-
welt, you had stopped the heroin
and Ruth said she was through with
it," she continued. "She told me
she had about decided to go to Mrs.
Stuyvesant this fait. I thought I'd
go crazy when she said that."
"I see."
Hate had stopped before her again
and was staring down at her.
"I don't think I did Joan much
harm," she ventured. "She's been
improving so fast these last weeks.
She coutdn't have been much—" she
sought for tiie word, "undermined,"
she brought out.
"That's wtiy you made tonight's
visit—to hurry the finish, Miss Ho-
sanna."
"Yes. I had to do what I coutd
quick))'."
"To do wiiat you coutd. Miss
Hosanna!"

other sitence. Then Hate said

Miss Hosanna nodded.
"I thought you would marry her,"
she said dutty. She added. "That's
one reason why 1 fett hurried and

pushing me at once."
"Yes, Isee.att right. Now, tisten

Miss Hosanna's gray head, with
its incongruous covering of steeptng
net and pins, rose higher.
"I expect to go away, of course,"
.he retorted. "I wilt go away at

"He won't know he has anything

Hale spoke in a tow voice. As
she started and stared at him in-
credutousiy, he went on. "We witt
keep this matter between you and
me, Miss Hosanna. I can't see that
anything would be gained by tetting
your family about it. They woutd
never get over it. It woutd affect
them in lots of ways. It might make

tried to warn him, notwithstanding
her theories. He was grateful to
Mrs. Spencer Forbes for that.
"Go to bed now and get !:on.e
sleep," he said to Miss Hosanna.
"You're going to have a busy
week."
As he spoke he crossed the room,
untocked the door and threw it open.
She walked past him in silence, but
her step was as quick and her head
and shoulders as erect as ever. Just
so, he reflected as he watched

"They must never know."
"But — how — can — we — man-
age?" the words were so tow he
hardly heard them.
"You'H say you've had a break-
down, and that you need rest and
change. I'll see that Kneetand
makes you a decent altowance. Trust
me for that."
"You won't even tetl Joan?"
"Joan least of atl. No one will
ever know, Miss Hosanna. You may
count on that."
He turned his eyes away from her
brightening face.
"I suppose I have no moral
sense," he muttered. "I've never
betieved in the eye for an eye busi-
ness—especially in cases where no
eye has been tost. If you had kitted
Joan I coutd have watched you go
to the ctcctric chair, att right. As it
is, wet!—that's something different.
I let Craig off because we didn't
want famity skeletons rattling in the
closets. In his way he was as bad
as you. I feet about you as I did
about him. At times, as I tistened
to you tonight, I was almost sorry
for you. Then I'd realize again
what's so damned hard to take in.
This isn't a nightmare, but an actu-
al fact . . . It's happening . . .
Oh. well—"
He made a gesture of futility and
went on in a different tone
"I'tt talk to your brother tomor-
row and I'lt arrange the income
matter satisfactory. You may de-
pend on it."
Her momentary look of relief was
gone. She sat twisting her hands,
her eyes on the floor.
Hate did not took at her. He
coutd not endure another Hash of
retief against that ghastly hack-
ground.
"Later, after a year or two," he
totd her, "you can write your broth-
er that you intend to tive in Cati-
fornia indefinitety. I am quite certain
he witt have no objections to such a
p]an."
"Thank you. I think you mean
to be merciful."
She got up and came toward him
with outstretched, shaking hands,
but he quickly stepped back out of
her reach.
"Please don't touch me,' he said.
"I coutdn't stand that. You can
count on me to put everything
through, though. I suppose I can
count on you to—to—"
"To be different hereafter?" she
asked under her breath "Yes, you
can."
He interrupted her. "Does Mrs.
Spencer Forbes reatize what's been
going on?"
"Ruth! Good God, no She must
never know."
Notwithstanding his first recoii
she caught his arm and clung to
him.
"She has been watching you." he
pointed out.
"She has been worried about me
She has seen that something was
wrong She was watching Rert, too.
She was suspicious about Bert—be-
cause she knew he'd get Joan's
money She warned me about him.
She thought-Rex. you witt never

away from her.

"I'm glad the game is over," Rex

It wasn't like him to be serious.
"Didn't it strike you that Aunt Ho-
sanna was strr.ngety calm for a
nervous wreck?" she asked after a
moment's sitence. "That reflection
occurred to me a few times."
Rex nodded.
"I suppose she was retieved to
have her responsibitit es off her
shoulders," he suggested. "Your
Aunt Hosanna, my iove, has had a
pretty raw deal atl her tife."
Joan nodded and flushed.
"It's one of the things I shattat-

ted. "I can't understand yet why
we were so btind and selfish. That's
why I added two thousand a year
to the paltry fifteen hundred Uncle
Cass settled on her. You must teach
me to think more of others, dar-

"We'll both try to do a bit of

present, Heart of my Heart." he
added cheerfutly, "you may concen-

Good Cricket BaHs May Last for
1,000 Runs in Perfect Condition
Every time you play with a crick-
et bait you are handling an article
of romance and ancient, almost un-
changed, industry. The birthplaces
of approximately 250,000 cricket
batts manufactured annuatty In this
country, says London Tit-Bits mag-
azine, are stitt mainty devoid of
much machinery, yet their construc-
tion requires some of the world's
most skilled craftsmanship.
Often it is handed down for gen-
erations, and at Teston, near Maid-
stone, famous hamtet of cricket batl
manufacture, workers now frequent-
ty occupy the piaces of their fathers
and grandfathers in the factory.
Cork from the Spanish and Portu-
guese forests, worsted spun in the
Midlands and north, speciatty se-

Engtish hides, gold so valuable that
the sweepings of the room in which
it is used are sifted tor its dust,
and great ton-weight pressing ma- j and sold,
chines for the batts, are some of
the necessities. The manufacture
is a long and intricate process, be-
ginning with the secret dyeing of
the hides, occupying a fortnight.
Each strip is cut into quarters, di-
vided into two, which are joined
with invisible stitches. Attached
tightly together the two cup-tike cov-
ers are biocked on a gunmetal mo!d
and the case reinforced with smatt
pieces of teather.
Cricket batts' centers are molded
with one inch-wide piece of cork,
bound with worsted, to which, whet:

nate cork and worsted binding unti!

in usually three rows of minute and
intricate stitches. As many as 95
stitches are often required.
Clamp molds then deal with the

Lives of first-grade cricket baits
are long. In ftrst-ctass cricket a
new ball may be catted for when
200 runs have been scored, but they
often stand 1,000 runs in perfect

you use them, and the wickets or
