HARRY WALN HARRISON Mrs. Hnrrison, who will spend the summer in Eaglesmere and at Nar ragansett Pier, is considered one of Philadelphia's smartest young matrons. "Bill" was called to tho phone at all hours and when ho wns not at homo It was the who answered all questions, and she) addod that she had a telephone acquaint, anco with at least 150 Chestnut Hill men and really knew them quite well, you know all about their khaki coats and puttees and hats and dispositions. TF wn could only "see oursols" some--1- times when other people see us and wo don't want them to, how we should laugh! How, indeed? Why Just as th others do. If tho young man in this story could havo seen himself he might not have laughed, but I know ho wouldn't have blushed so hard nnd he really might havo Joined tho suppressed glgglor, or lather tho suspected suppiessed gigglcr, of the tale. He had been dining at a picturesque Colonial mansion, wheio ho had talked very Impressively about tho war with Papa, and had conversed very well, any how, he had conversed with Papa's daughter for several hours. With a graceful bow ho made his adieus shortly after 10 o'clock and started down tht flower-bordered path to the gate. To bay he was dressed In his very best from top to toe would not exaggerate matters at all, and his patent-leather pumps and "boiled" shirt fitted his b ntiflo mood, as if they had been made to order, and perhaps they had. Just how can one fit a mood, Nancy? interrupts Nelly, but sumce it to say ono can, if one gets the proper mood and tho proper boiled shirt. Tho young man was a little annoyed when ho reached the gate to nnd that It was locked. (It it humiliating to unlock a gate several times and And you nm fooling with tho hinge nnd with no rea son for such "after effects.") However, thero must bo a lock somewhere, so h tried the other end, hoping now that no ono was looking. Ho found tho lock all right nnd gave It a mighty push noth ing stirred. Having used up all the other available space he now blushed In tho back of his neck and shoved again. After some fifteen minutes of pulling, pushing and ono thing or another for nobody heard what ho said, a maid, slightly flushed and smiling broadly, ran down tho path from the house. "I'm afraid you'll have to climb over tho wall, sir," Bhe said. "We are always having trouble with the gate." That was the time he should havo seen himself he wasn't half so pretty when he reached the other side of tho wall. Tho patent-leather pumps were no longer patent and the boiled shirt and the creamy white trousers gave witness of their contact with Mother Earth. His hair was tousled, his hands were scratched and his pJe was crushed to earth, never to rise again. For tho thing that lingered In his mind's ear If there is such a thing as he brushed himself off and soothed his harassed feelings with a few, very few, but uicll-chomi words, was the slight but unmistakable sound of a much amused, very feminine giggle that came from th vines that hid the porch. Methlnks It will be a cold, frosty day when he enters that house again. ' And in a way, one can't blame him, for it was certainly not his fault that the gate was stuck and It was scarcely kind of his late hostess to laugh at his dis comfiture. Men can stand anything but ridicule, it seems. ' t I SEE that Frances Clarlf Is spending a portion of her well-earned vacation in Atlantic City. I say well-earned, for ot course you know that since early In thu spring she has been selling hats in the Inner salon of one ot the department stores In town.

People who are not "in tho know" Invariably ask who the statuesque young woman la on spying her for the first time.

Was ever smile more elonuent? It was nt onco a messago of undslng love nnd farewell. Possibly, ho might never see her again But the bitter ness of approaching death, enhanced as it was by tho knowledge that ho should not have allowed himself to drift blindly into this open net, wns assuaged In one vital particular Tho woman ho loved w.is abso-, lutely safe now from a set of licentious brutes Sho might be given llfo and lib erty. When brought before some respon sible military court ho would tell the plain truth, suppressing only such facts as would tend to Incriminate their good friends In Vervlcrs nnd Huy Not even a board of German officers could find the Rlrl guilty of killing Rusch and his companions, and this ho Imagined, was tho causo of tho hue and cry raised by the authorities. How de termined the hunt had been was shown by tho changed demeanor of tho corporal. Tho man was almost oppressed by the magni tude of the capture. Dalroy was convinced that It was not the monetary reward which affected him Probably this young non commissioned officer saw certain promotion ahead, nnd mat to a uwraan, is an an sufficing Inducement. The prisoner's hands wero tied behind his back and the same rope was adjusted around waist nnd ankles in such wise that movement was limited to moderately short t.ns But Herr Franz did not hurt him needlessly Rather was he bent on taking care of him Throwing a cavalry cloak over tho Englishman's shoulders, he said, "You can squat against the wall and keep out of the rain, if you wish " Dalroy obeyed without a ward He felt inexplicably weary In that unhappy hour body and soul alike wore crushed But tho cloud lifted Boon His spirit was tho spirit of the Immortals; it raised Itself out of the slough of despond The day was closing In rapidly; lowering clouds and steady rain conspired to rob the sun of part of his prerogatives At 7 o'clock It would be dark, whereas the alma nac fixed the close of the day at eight. It was then about half-past six Resolutely casting off the torpor wh(ch had benumbed his brain after parting fram the woman he loved, Dalroy looked about him The hussars, some twenty all told, reduced now to seventeen since the messen gers had ridden off without delay, were gathered in a Knoi arouna mo corporal.. Some of their horses were tethered In tha barn, others were picketed outside. Scraps of talk reached him "This wltl be a plume In your cap, Franz."

"Ach, was' what's tho good of having been drunk so long ago? .There isn't a bottle of wine now within five miles" "Tell us then, Herr Knporal, do wo re main hero till dawn'" Dalroy grew faintly Interested It was absurd to harbor tho slightest expectation of Jan Maertz bringing succor, but one might nt least analvzo tho position, though tho only vlslblo road led straight to a llring party "Those were our orders," answered Franz. "Things may be altered now You fellows haven't grasped the real value of this cop It wasn't stated on the notice, hut somebody of much moro Importance than any ordinary oiTlcer was Interested In tho girl being caught sho far moro than tho man " "Well, well' Tastes differ' A peasant tike that'" "You silly ass, she's no peasant. That's the worst of living In a suburb. You ac quire no standard ot comparison." Those men were Berllners, and wero amused by a sly dig at somo locality which, like Koepenlck, offered a butt for German humor. "Hello ' isn't that a car?" said one. Thoio was silence The thrumming of a powerful automobile could be heard through tile patter of tho rain "Attention " grow led Franz A few troopers went to tho picketed horses. The others lined up A closed motorcar ar rived Its brilliant headlights proclaimed tho certain fact that tho presence of Bel gian troops in that locality was not feared. Dalroy recognized this at once, and forth with dismissed fiom his mind the last shred of hoiie The chauffeur was a soldier. By his side sat the usual armed escort Georg galloped up. Oombergen was only a mile and a half distant, nnd the road through the wood was in such a condition that the car wns compelled to travel slowly A cloaked staff ofileer alighted The hus sam stood stilt as so many ramroads Tho now comer took their salute punctiliously, but his tone In addressing the corporal was far from gracious "What's this unlikely tale vou've sent In to headquarters?" he demanded harshly. "I don't think I'm mistaken, Herr Haupt mann." was tho nnswer "I'vo got that Eng lish captain and tho lady wanted at Vise Thej-ve virtually admitted It" ' Where are they?" "Tho man Is sitting thero against the wall Tho lady is In tho barn. Stand up, prisoner'" Fram snatched away the cloak Dalroy roso to his feet He was smiling at the ruthlcssnets of Fate. Ho was still smiling when Captain von Halvrig, of the Prussian Imperial Guard, flashed an electric torch In his face It was unnecessary, perhaps, to render thus easy tho task of recognition But what did it matter? That lnx of a corporal was sure of his ground, nnd would refuso to be gainsaid even by a staff otllccr and a guardsman. "Thfcn it Is really you?" he said quietly In Rnglirh "Yes," replied Dalroy. The torch was switched off Dalroy's eyes weio momentarily blinded by tho glare, but he heard nn ugly chuckle "Whero is the female prisoner?" said Von Halwlg, with a formality that was as per plexing as his subdued manner. "Here, Herr Hauptmann " Tho two entered the barn. So far as Dalroy could Judge, no word was spoken The torch flared again, remained lighted a full half-minute, and wan extinguished Von Halwlg reappeared, seemed to ponder matters and turned to the corporal "Put the woman in my car." he said. "Fall In your men, and be ready to escort me back to tho village. You've dona a good dav's work, corporal." "Two men havo gone In pursuit ot.Jan Maertz, sir." "Never mind They'll have sense enough to come on to headquarters If they catch him How Is this Rngllshmaii seemed?" The jubilant Franz explained. "Mount him on one of your horses The trooper can squeeze In in front of the car Has the female prisoner a dagger or a pistol?" "I have not searched her Herr Haupt- mnnn." "Maka sure, but offer no violence or dis courtesy No. leave this fellow here at present. I want a few words with him in private Assemble your men around the car nnd take tho woman there now " Irene was led out She paused In the doorway, and the corporal thought she did not know what she was wanted for. "You are to be conveyed in the automo bile. Frauleln," he said But she was looking for Dalroy In the doom Before any one could interfere, she ran and threw her arms around him, kissing him on wo np. Good-by. my dear one"' she walled In a heart-broken way "We may not meet again on this earth, but I am yours to all eternity." "With these words In my ears I shall die happy." said Dalroy. Her embrace thrilled htm with, a strange ecstasy, yet the pain of that parting was worse than death. Were ever lovers' vows plighted in such conditions In the history ot this gray old world? Franz seized tho girl's arm. She knew It would be undignified to resist. Kissing Dalroy again, she whispered a last choking farewell, and suffered her guide to take her where he willed, Sha walked with stum bling feet. Her eyea were dimmed with tears; but, sustained by tha pride ot her race, sha refused to sob, and bit her lower lip in dauntless resolve not to yield. The rain was beating down now in heavy Busts.

I was talking to a hotel man the other day and he told me that one of his cooks was CHEERFUL I had never thought of using the word in that connection before. It seems that when the "help" are cheerful it makes things go smoother nnd every one Is happier I hope you are cheerful about your work As ono decayed apple In ttjo barrel Is likely to spoil tho whole barrel, so In the household some one who Is not cheerful Is likely to upset tho whole family. Remember that Theso aro very trying times Every one has something to do which he has never done before and it Is tho question of adapt ing ourrches to theso now conditions and getting used to the uncertainty of things that keeps us anxious. Everything goes all the smoother if we try to be cheerful. There Is no use talking, we are always affected by those with whom we come in contact The thing Is, do not let the grouchy ones upset us, cling to the cheerful ones and let us be cheerful ourselves Will you try?

The general rushed down the stairs with Buster in one arm and his sister Daisy in the other, followed by his wife. The men were so prompt that little dam age was done, and after the fire was out the general sought out Billy, who was on the edge of thecrowd "You saved our lives!" exclaimed the general Billy laughed softly to himself. But when Daisy came and put her arms around his neck he was very, very glad he had tried to eat the down comfortable. It was morning by this time, and Billy started down tne roan.

Verely On account of (ho war. anil nliu m now being made for the holding of a "Horn " , A ana Red Cross campaigns have decrease donations to an alarming extent, and at th same time the number of families to b cared for has greatly Increased over for mer years, said J Byron Deacon, now gen eral secretary of the Society for Organlzln Charity, today In his offices at 419 Eoutsi Fifteenth street. This society has now found it necessary to' borrow money to carry on its work. It Can not curtail this work to any extent without seriously crippling its effectiveness. Nor mally more than 6000 persons contribute th sum of 1150,000 annually. For the first six months of this year the number of do nators has decreased 40 per cent and tha amount donated has decreased 30 per cent under last year's figures. It had been an ticipated that the society would have fewer families to care for in 1917 owing to the prosperous Industrial condition of the coun try However. 15 per cent Inereasa In de pendent families has been the toll of our i prosperity. "It is a remarkable fact that favorable In dustrial conditions should Increase tha number of those depending on the society for help," said Mr. Deacon, "and the only ay In which we can account for It Is tha great increase in cases of nonsupport, de sertion and Intemperance resulting from a slackening In the moral fiber of the country during wartime." None of the local charities took advan-l tago of the Red Cross campaign to seek donations. Such a course would have been unpatriotic nnd it was deemed advisable to take care of the needs of the Red Crose before home charities came before the pubt lie Plans are now being worked out tir remedy the" present condition by a, "home charity" week, in which an enercetlo cam. palgn will be carried on by the various or ganizations in tho city. It is planned to vi-ork out the requirements of each Insti tution In advance and nsslgn a certain per centage of the receipts of the campaign tc each. Many of the people accustomed to give to the local charities used the money thlr year for either Liberty Bonds or the Red Cross Thus these funds were diverted from the usual channel and the burden hai fallen on the shoulders of the poor ot Philadelphia and the home charities. The extraordinary conditions prevalllnr throughout the country have gTeatly In creased the need of all charities. "Th woman deserted by her husband as a result of too much war prosperity, Is as much t war wldiw and her need Is as great as r the woman who loses her husband In bat tle," asserted Secretary Deacon. "Thes cases are becoming increasingly numerous The crippling of the charitable Instltutlont means the removal of the one sure pro taction for such women, and this In tun. will tend to Increase the evil. "Tho country Is vitally Interested In th moral condition of the country," he furthr. said. "The moralo of the nation is a Im-" portant as the morale of the troops, an' whatever agency tends to harden the mors fiber of tho nation is indispensable. Tb disabling of institutions caring for the pot would be a real calamity." Secretary Deacon has recently come Philadelphia from Pittsburgh to assume h? present position. Ho was born and raise ' at Riverton, N J For a number of year past ho has lived away fro Philadelphia, bi' 1 1 now has a house at Lansdowne. He has dT"" voted himself to charitable work in Ne York and Pittsburgh, where he has hetd re , sponsible positions He has also made, I close study of conditions in England sine the beginning of the war. He says that the salaried class Is the or that has suffered most severely as a resu of the war In England Conditions hav I reached sich a state that an association i I relief for persons in salaried positions tu been formed. Secretary Deacon also polntt out that the same condition was beginnir to prevail in the United States. The grea est falling off In subscriptions for charltab purposes has been In persons usually glvlr amounts ranging from $5 to $50.
