GEORGE KIBBE TURNER
Ovorg* Klbbe Turner started his
literary career when he first came
out at coLiege. He Joined the staff
of the Springfield Republican at a
very modest salary His next step
was to the Black Cat. In that day
a thin little magazine which print*
ed surprisingly Interesting stories.
Then one day, as the phrase la.
but quits different In fact. Mr,
Turner wrote a novel for McClure's
Magazine. It had a New England
setting, and a political angle, and
It received wide, and Important
comment. Thereafter for nine
years Mr, Turner was one of the
literary staff of McClure's Mega-
slne and he wrote both articles
and fiction on a great variety of
subjects.
Mr. Tumsr Is the author of many
booKs, short stories and articles,
but "HaHar's Hoard," a story of
ths yellow fever epidemic in Mefh-
phls, Tenn., filled-with fact and
dramatic hot,lent, and "White
tfhouldvrw" are guaranteed to keep
Mr. Turner conspicuously to the
front In our literature.
In the story that follows, written
for the Star Author Series of Matri-
monial Adventures, the husband la
drawn as only a man keen In un-
derstanding of men could picture
him. The side of marriage that
Mr. Turner preeenta In "Birth
Stones" Is novsl and at ths same
time universally appealing.

But 1 don't want you calling up my 1

looking nervous—Volpe noticed at the 1
time.
He noticed that. You keep your

deal was queer on the face of It. But
It was no queerer than other* he'd,

And of course. If anything sue '

But next week when the big man
showed up agHln with his big neck-

und have the sutmtltutlon made. Volpe
was surer than ever of the thing—for
one reason from the way he acted
about the stone* that were coining out
to lie there as s pledge for the ten
thousand.
“You’ll hare them all here—the

they'll get mixed up any way?*’
“Not li danger," Volpe told him.
“For It would meun something to

he snld. "They’re our luck.”
“Irncky stone* bub!” said Yolpe.»
and smiled to himself when he had
gone—surer ?Jinn ever about the thing
—thoilgh curious nntunilly on whnt It
wits nil about.
About two weeks nfterwnrd the man
showed up ngttln and wanted another
ten thousand on another third of the
stones.
That was different.
“I thought you snld ten thousand
was all you’d need," said Volpe study-
ing him, thinking fust.
"I thought It was myself. And It
will be this time. But you know how
the contracting business Is—especially
now. tip* and down. Mostly down 1
But It will bh all right this time—I

“Now. I tail you/* said Volpe, a Cart-

after him, his voire rising.
