10 Xfc2o(Y)en Interns v& Mothers! Warn Your Girls of Life's Lures By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX I It is more tlian probable that many parents of young girls will read this article and consider it an "Improper" j subject for discus sion. And it is more than probable that several of these daughters will read It and regard it as their own experience, and wonder how their secret became known. This one young woman whose story —■ | ( g.j ven i, ere j,as ar _ rived at a marriageable age and is be trothed to the man of her choice. He is several years her senior, but says he will not bo in a position to marry and establish a home for two years. He has given the girl a ring, and de clares he is most anxious to make her his wife. Meantime, ho asks her to consider herself his wife in reality now, and to show her confidence in him by giv ing him all the privileges of that holy state. Ho assures her that her refusal Is a proof that she does not really love and trust him; that she doubts his honor and his word. He also assures her that all engaged jj| Broadwau ill iih Jones r <> 4 J o| 1 <► ! 11 From the Play of 3' \l l George M.

Dillingham Consul He hung up the .receiver and turned back to Jackson. That youth looked at him in somewhat helpless curiosity. "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to show Pembroke we'ra not bluffing. I'm going back tomor row, and, as a starter, I'm going to bill New York till you can't see the city through the advertisements of Jones' Pepsin Gum." "Where's all the money coming from?" said Jackson dubiously. "What are you going to do? Ruin me?" "I'll draw the contract," Wallace an swered. "I'll give you a year to pay for it. You'll be the best advertised article in America a month from now." "But, great Scott! I can't afford to take a chance like that! I don't know anything about this chewing-gum busi ness." "Say," said Wallace in derision, "will you give me all you make over a mil lion in the next two years if I give you the advertising free?" "Over a million? I should say I will!" Wallace became serious and then broke into smiles. "Shake hands with your partner then. This will be the quickest, sofLest and first important money I ever made." "Do you mem it?" "You bet I moan it." "Are you sure you mean it?" "You bet I'm sure." "Bob," said Broadway with real feel ing, 'this is the happiest moment of my life!" At that instant Sam came in. "Mis— sis Ger —rard —to see Mis —ter— Jones!" he cried. Thus Broadway's happiest moment came to a sudden, tragic end. In the mad whirl of recent hours he had for gotten Mrs. Gerard —his little ray of sunshine, sweetheart, dearie! With a quick glance at Josie he al most collapsed. "Tell her to wait," said Wallace, the quick-witted. "The —gentleman—wants—to— see —you—first," said Sam. "Gentleman? What gentleman?" "Mis—ter Ran—kin." "Rankin!" cried Broadway with a ray of hope. "Send the gentleman right In, and tell the lady to wait" Sam went away with these Instruc tions. "Mrs. Gerard! Where did she come from! How did she know I was here?" said the unhappy youth. Rankin came in respectfully, cat footed, gravely beaming, the ideal but ler. "Mrs. Gerard's here, sir."

SATURDAY EVENING, Copyright, 1913, by Star Company, people regard the matter from his standpoint, and that her conduct is prudish and silly. All over the world such men are to be found. It Is their method of testing the weaker sex. In many small country towns, where American girls are unchaperoned and unprotected by foolish parents, and al lowed to go about freely with their ad mirers, a Liotharlo of this order is not infrequently able to engage several trusting girls at one time, under strict vows of secrecy and 011 the plea that financial or family circumstances are such that marriage is out of the ques tion for years to come. This type of man almost invariably demands the full confidence and proof of "love and trust," as he terms It, of each of his secret fiancees. And, as a rule, he never marries any one of them. Ho disappears from the town after a time and establishes himself in pas tures new. The Rev. Richeson was a man of this type, but he paid for his amuse ment In the electric chair. It seems a sad commentary on the mothers of the land that any girl could grow to a marriageable age and not know the truths of life and the facts of the relations of the sexes suf ficiently to warn her from listening to men of this type. No girl whose mother talks to her familiarly, sweetly, tenderly and purely on these themes could believe such a man was honest or to be trusted. She would know from the moment l Know," feu..- ..n,uunay hopelessly. 'Where did she come from?" "She didn't say. Got to the hotel about five minutes ago, and demanded to be shown to you. I couldn't help It, sir." "What am 1 going to do? We've got to get her away from here! We've got to get her out of town!" "I'll get rid of her some way," Wal lace offered comfortingly. "Go on; take It on the run." "You bet I will!" said Jackson, and, without more ado, grasped his cane and hat and sprinted for the factory exit. He almost collided at the door with Josie, who was entering just then with papers from an outer file. "Why, where are you going, Mr. Jones?" "Any place. Where are you going?" "I'm going to dinner." He grabbed her arm, to her amaze ment. "Come on; I'll go with you. Let's go out this way. I love to walk —er —through the works." "All right," said Wallace to the fat boy as soon as they were out of sight, "show the lady in." "Shall I go, sir?" inquired Rankin. "Stay where you are." Mrs. Geraru came In most hurried ly. Indeed, her gait was almost that of an elderly lady wonderfully well preserved, who was very, very anxious about something which she valued highly and was willing to run hard to catch. "Why, Mrs. Gerard," said Wallace heartily. "What arc you doing here? Ah, I know! You're looking for Jack- : son. Too bad! He's started for the station. He's going to make that elev en-forty for New York. I think you ' can catch him if you hurry." \ ' She had scarcely straightened from ' the stoop which had been imparted by , her hurry as she entered. Now she much intensified it, and without a word dashed out. "But you'll have to run all the way," cried Wallace after her. Then he turned hurriedly to Rankin. "Listen! You follow her to the depot and get her on that train if you have to bind and gag her! Don't leave her until you see her safely landed in New York. You understand?" "Yes, sir." "Well, go oh." As he turned back from intent ob servation of the man-servant's depar ture, the noise of a new outburst of cheering reached him from the works, coming through the door the Judge had opened as he entered. "What, again? What are they cheer ing about now?" | "Broadway," said the judge, "is mak ling another speech. He stopped in the 'works instead of going through." "Maklnp another speech!" They opened the door wide and, ] wafted on the gentle breeze, ther« came to them in Broadway's best and most effective tones: "Why, think of what I'd be selling! The thing my grandfather worked for and handed down to my father; the thing my father worked for and hand ed down to me; the thing that I should work for and hand down to my chil dren, aiul BO on, and so on, and so on." CHAPTER XIII. It was not until the excitement was all oyer at the factory, until the cheer ing had died down and Ihe whole place lie made such proposal to her that he was unworthy of her confidence, and that he would in all probability desert her as soon as he had gained the favors lie sought. The sexual fascination is a powerful one, but that ulone never kept a man and a woman happy comrades and con stant lovers for life. There must be other attractions; other interests; other ties. Most important of all, there must bo mutual respect and absolute confidence. There must be a strong and beauti ful foundation of friendship In every marriage which proves happy and last ingly sympathetic. About this foundation passion flowers will prrow and twine: but when Aut umn winds blow, and frosts come, and the vines perish, the strong, beautiful foundation remains. This man is seeking to twine vines and flowers about the fragile trellis of youth, and the first wind will oast It all to earth and there will be nothing left. And the vines he seeks to train about this trellis are poison ivy. Let the girl beware of such a lover. He is not her friend. He is her worst enemy. He does not love her. He loves only his own appetites and passions. The man who really loves a girl guards her, not only from all men, but from himself. He does not despoil what is his own. He does not strip the flowers from his own beautiful plants. Better die of loneliness and sorrow than to yield to such a selfish and un worthy lover. haa begun to buzz with industry for the long afternoon of happier labor than It had known of late years, that Wallace thought of iunch. He was not usually one to forget eating. It rather startled him. "Broadway," he remarked, aston ished, "do you know we haven't fed?" "Do business men?" "That doesn't make good sense. 'Do business men?' We've just done one business man. Pembroke has gone back to New York with his disposition in a sling. But what did you think you -were expressing when you said: 'Do business men?"' "I thought I was inquiring if busi ness men took lunch. If they don't, I'll not. lam a business man." "You bet they do." "If it's a commercial practice I'll Join you. I'm hungry enough to eat on Sixth avenue." "No such luck," said Wallace. "We've got to eat down at the Grand." Broadway almost paled. "Excuse me, but I've lost my appetite, come to think about it." "I know; but we've simply got to eat." They tried the first part of the luncheon, and it was just after they had tried it that Broadway, desperate ly worrying about the future, was smit ten by a happy thought. "Why live at the Grand?" he asked. "You can't," said Wallace. "It's not living." "Why anything at the Grand when I'm the owner of a house with 14 rooms, three baths, a root cellar and a phonograph?" Wallace looked at him with an en thusiastic light enkindling in his eyes. "Shall you take boarders?" "I shall take a boarder." "Me?" "You." "When?" "This afternoon." "Would you be angry if I threw my arms around your neck and told you how extremely fond I am of you?" "You may throw your arms around the room, for all I care, if you'll keep quiet while I telephone." It was Mrs. Spotswood whom he called upon the wire, and gladly, nay, delightedly, she promised to take charge of the engrossing task of get ting the Jones homestead ready for its future master. "When shall I be able to move in?" he asked. "If Mrs. Robinson's as good a house keeper as she has always been, you could move in today." Within an hour she called him up and told him that Mrs. Robinson was just as good a housekeeper as ever, that the rooms had all been aired, that he had been expected hourly. "Can we have dinner there tonight?" "Why not?" "You mean it?" "Of course." "Will you, the judge and Clara dine with me?" "Well, I should say so." "Tell Mrs. Robinson that I'll be early enough to tell her how extremely fond I am of her before we start to eat. And I'll bring Bob and —er —Miss Richards." Mrs. Spotswood laughed. "And who?" "Miss—er—Miss Richards." "You mean Josie?"

Clark, of the National Association of Life Insurance j Underwriters, was guest of honor last evening at a banquet of the Harris burg Association of Life Underwriters. The speaker complimented the local organization for its splendid develop ment and good work. President Clark talked Interestingly on the development of the Harrisburg Association in particular, the growth of the insurance business in general, and concluded by handing out some good advice to workmen of all kinds. He touched upon the large number of widows and children in the county and the significance of this fact, in an in surance way. In conclusion he said: "Think of the millions of fatherless and orphaned children whose intel lectual, moral and physical natures, have been dwarfed through poverty, in consequence of the death of a father who had neglected, through procras tination or indifference or ignorance (they all amount to the same thing) to make provision for them against bis death." Following Mr. Clark's address half a dozen new members were elected to the Harrisburg association. Harrisburgers Figure in Scranton Y. M. C. A.
