Cheap Substitute For Love
When a clerk of
fers us "something
Just as good" as a
substitute for the
thing we asked for
we generally de
cline, saying, "I
want what I asked
for." If that ap
plies to a brand of
preserves or a make
of cloth, does it not
apply with greater
force by far to the
big things of life?
But when it eomes
to love and friend
ship many of us are
pathetically willing
to put up with cheap substitutes for
the things we asked for. We seem to
proceed on the principle that some
thing is better than nothing, even if
the something is also something we do
not really want or care for, and if
nothing at least affords us a chance to
fill our temporarily empty lives with
worth-while things some day.
Don't little up your lives with cheap
substitutes for the things you really
want. Don't (111 every nook and cranny
of your mind and heart with useless
and unsatisfactory trifles. If you do,
Jo and behold, some day the big things
of life will pass you by because in your
absorption In trifles you won't see

In the matter of filling their exist
<ence with cheap substitutes for worth

offenders than men. Girls seem to

attention and friends and good times.
»They can't serenely contemplate fill
ing up the years—say, from seventeen
fto twenty-one or twenty-two—with

and youth may all pass them by, and

cheap substitutes for what they really
want.
There Is nothing "just as good" as
true friendship or real love. Can you
imagine anything taking the place of
your mother's love? Is there anything
that could satisfactorily he substituted
for your eight hours of sleep a night?
Is a cake of chocolate or an ice cream
soda adequate to take the place of a
good, hot, savory stew at noon on a
cold winter's day? Can you be equally
comfortable in a thin spring suit and
in warm furs In a December snow
storm ?
All your knowledge of the eternal
varities of "life and natrue tell you
that you cannot. Substitutes won't do
when it comes to food and warmth
and rest and happy family life.
And substitutes won't do when it
comes to love or friendship. Better
be lonely for a little while than accept
the friendship of unworthy people
who will not be loyal to you, and as
sociation with whom will hurt your
reputation. Better go for long years
without love than reconcile yourself
to accepting a cheap and tawdry sub
stitute. By reconciling yourself to an
unworthy love you dim your percep
tion so that the real thing will pass
you by unknowing and unknown—or,
worse still, you starve your clamorous
nature, and someday what it craves
comes and then there are death and
destruction and devastation to pay in
a few hearts.
Most o? us are capable of appre
ciating the genuine article when we
are permitted to observe it. And
many of us are in such a hurry to
grasp at shadows that we are other
wise engaged when realities come our
way.
Don't accept cheap substitutes for
love and friendship. Wait until the
real things come to you. There is
nothing just as good as what the best
in your nature asks, and which it may
demand some day when you have en
tangled it in a morass of undergrowth
and tangle of trifles.

J FREDERICK PALMER £
(OoDTrti'bt, 1914. br Ch»rl«w -erlbn.'rfi Son*)
"You guess right. Call the others."
Five minutes later he was seated
at the head of the dining-room table
with hla chiefs around him waiting for
their chairman to speak. He asked
some categorical questions almost per
functorily, and the nnswer to each
was, "Ready!" with, in some lnstancee,
a qualification—the qualification made
by regimental and brigade command
ers that, though they could take the
position In front of them, the cost
would be heavy. Yes, all were willing
and ready for the first general assault
of the war, but they wanted to state
the costs as a matter of professional
self-defenße.
Westerling could pose when It
served his purpose. Now he rose and,
going to one of the wall maps, indi
cated a point with his forefinger.
"If we get that we have the most
vital position, haven't we?"
Some uttered a word of assent;
some only nodded. A glance or two
of curiosity was exchanged. Why
should the chief of staff aek so ele
mentary a question? Westerling was
not unconscious of the glances or of
their meaning. They gave dramatlo
value to his next remark.
"We are going to mass for onr main
attack In front at Bordir!"
"But," exclaimed four or At® offi
cers at once, "that Is the heart of
the position! That is—"
'1 believe It is weak—that It will
fall, and tonight!"
"You have information, then, lnfor
-matlon that I have not?" asked Bou
chard.
"No more than you," replied Wester
ling. "Not as much if you have any
thing new."
"Nothing!" admitted Bouchard wryly.
He lowered hie head under Wester
ling's penetrating look In the con
sciousness of failure.
"I am going on a conviction— on
putting two and two together 1" Wes
terling announced. "I am going on my
experience as a soldier, as a chief of
staff. If I am wrong, I take the re
sponsibility. If lam right. Bordir will
be ours before morning. It is settled!"
"If you are right, then," exclaimed
Turcas—"well, then it's genius or—"
He did not finish the sentence. He
had been'about to say coincidence;
while Westerling knew that If he were
right all the rising skepticism In cer
tain quarters, owing to the delay In
his program, would be silenced. His
prestige would be unassailable.
CHAPTER XVI.
Marking Time.
Socm alter dark the attack began.
Flashes from gun mouths and glow
ing shf-Pts of flame from rifles made
ugly velry, -while the beams of
search-lights swept hither and thither.
This kept up till shortly after mid
night, when it died down and, where
hell's concert had raged, silent dark
ness shrouded the hills. Marta knew
that Bordlr was taken without having
to ask Lanstron or wait for confirma
tion from Westerling.
She was seated in the recess of the
arbor the next morning, when she
heard the approach of those regular,
powerful steps whose character had
become as distinct. to her as those
of a member of her own family. Five
against three! five against three! they
were saying to her; while down the
pass road and the castle road ran the
stream of wounded from last night's
slaughter.
Posted in the drawing-room of the
Galland house were the congratula
tions of the premier to Westerling,
who had come from the atmosphere of
a staff that accorded to him a mili
tary insight far above the analysis of
ordinary standards. But he was too
clever a man to vaunt his triumph.
He knew how to carry his honors.
He accepted success as his due, In a
matter-of-course manner that must In
spire confidence in further success.
"You were right," he said to Marta
easily, pleasantly. "We did it—we did
It—we took Bordlr with a loss of only
twenty thousand men!"
Only twenty thousand! Her revul
sion at the bald statement was re
lieved by the memory of Lanny's word
over the telephone after breakfast that
the Browns had lost only five thou
sand. Pour to one wat a wide ratio,
she waa thinking.
"Then the end —then peace LA BO
much nearer?" she asked.
"Very much nearer!" he answered
earnestly, as he dropped on the bench
beside her.
He stretched his arms out on the
back of the seat and the relaxed atti
tude, unusual with him, brought Into
relief a new trait of which she had
been hitherto oblivious. The con
queror had become simply a compan
ionable man. Though be was not alt
ting close to her, yet, aa his eyes met
hers, she had a detlre to move away
which she knew would be unwise to
gratify. She waa conacloua of a cer
tain softening charm, a magnetism
that she had sometimes felt In the
days when she first knew him. She
realised, too, that then the charm had
not been mixed with the lndeacribable,
Intimate quality that It held now.
