\yoMen T frgpJnTeftgs^ Men Gossips as Numerous as Women It Is a Mistaken Belief of Most Women That Men Are Their Best and Most Liberal- Minded Friends—Men Are Much More A Critical Than Women By Ella Wheeler Wilcox Copyright, 1914, by Star Company Woman has been accused of gossip ins because she lacked occupation. Man. with His manifold duties, is sup posed to be too busy for gossip. But men gossips are quite as numerous as those of the fairer sex. In men's clubs, many a scandal is set rolling, which gains momentum as it proceeds upon its way, and wrecks names and homes before it finishes its course. Foolish women risk their reputa tions by allowing men to compromise them, and believe implicitly that their admirers will protect their names against the whole world. Yet over "Stag Dinner," or over the Club Table, the story of these in discretions is freely told. ■ The names are possibly, or prob ably, withheld; but it is a simple mat ter for the listeners to locate the character in the story of the play as related by the proud Lothario. Under the influence of wine and "Good Fellowship," men who have been trusted and believed in by weak women have more than once shown letters and boosted of their conquests. Women have been accused of being jealous in her treatment of her own sex. The arrival of a new woman in her circle is supposed to awaken her to a sense of rivalry which leads her to do petty acts. But it was a young man who car ried off the palm for petty actions at .one of the summer resorts. Because an attractive young woman came to the. place without bringing h detailed account of her past life, the young man set himself the noble task of studying the directory of the town from which she came, and in vestigating the history of all families bearing her name. Each day he made a new report upon the possible identity of the young woman. His listeners were amused; hut no one was frank enough to tell him But the crowning 1 touch was * Vilbur Cocoa" jj jUij£ j » r luncheon, the chil- 9 dren's party, the reception, R A formal or informal function , jj has an added touch of gentle I £<» when you serve WU- Hot Wilbur Cocoa for li OUT l*ocoa, enterttining [ All lovers of cocoa detect its 1 £ high qtlfelity and exquisite flavor Wilbur cocoa.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, .how despicable he seemed in all eyes, j Meantime the very worthy and tired I young woman, who had left an excel ; lent position among the world's edu ; cators. and who came away for rest and recreation, and chose to avoid any thought of her duties while resting. ; was all unconscious of this espionage. , Liked and respected by her own sex, i she was not prepared to find a would !be spy and gossip among men. It is a mistaken belief of most J women that men are their best and most liberal-minded friends. Men demand more of women in • the way of conventional behavior than ' other women demand, j Men are much more critical than I women. A man will not hesitate to be seen in public with a woman whose name rests under a shadow: but he will be very firm in forbidding his wife or sister or mother to be seen with her. Women Growing More Liberal-Minded and Less Prone to Gossip IThat is not friendship or defense. A woman has been known to de : clare her belief in the innocence of j one who was the subject of gos- I sip, and at the same time to an nounce her intention to stand by | her. And she has been prevented jby the men of her family. Yet these ' same men were regarded by the vic- I tim of gossip as loyal to her, because ■ j they spoke to her in public places, while women held aloof. Men believe themselves to be more '.liberal and just in their estimate of i women than our sex; but they are not. They deceive themselves. II Women are growing more liberal 1 minded, more just and more sym i! pathetic with each decade. They are ! growing less prone to gossip. But men are keeping up the aver • age. When next you hear a bit of gos ' sip, look up its source. Ten to one 'you will find It started with a man.

COPYRIGHT. 1014, BY JOHN FLEMING WILSON As the old man started into the mine, patting one foot after the other with that carelessness characteristic of men becoming decrepit, a man ran oat of the mouth of the mine waving his arms. Almost Instantly following him came a puff of gra.v-blue smoke, which soared upward and fjpread out as If it were the blossom of n cloud warmed into fall bloom by the hot sunlight pouring down Into the val ley. Ruth let fall the lunch basket and stared upward at that dark, mnrky bole In the hill. Whs John there? Was her father there? She knew that that balky clond blooming into the heavens meant death benesth the ground. Unwittingly she cried "John!" Then she remembered her filial duty, and her next word, whis pered toward that billowing, eddying mass of vapor was "Father!" Thus do maidens confess to God the secrets of their'heart, but let us'see how they conceal from men these same sacred mysteries. Ruth hastened her pace toward the entrance of the mine. The shale gave way under her little feet but she struggled upward until she reached th® trestle. Having lived all her life in a mining camp, there was no ter ror for her In anything but falling rock. That effusion of smoke float ing over the hillside seemed to speak of disaster. She knew the peril of a premature explosion, and she also knew every working of "The Master Key." And again she wondered wheth er It was John Dorr or her father or both who were stifling for air within that dark tunnel She did not see John Dorr talking to the engineer below her, nor did she see the miner who had just left the mine and was scrambling down the ladder. Her thought was that during this noon hour, when both shifts were off duty, her father had gone In and accidentally set off a blast What blasting was done in "The Master Key" usually took place during the nooning, but ow ing to carelessness it was sometimes the case that all the blasts were not set off. She bad seen men belched out of that dark hole before furious gusts of gas. And yet why was the ore car inside? That too, spelled disaster. She dropped the lunch basket and pulled out the pocket electric light which 6he always carried It burned only a tiny hole In the billowing smoke. She rushed blindly in. trusting to her long familiarity with the tunnel to find ; her father. » Thus it was'tliat father and daughter passed each other in the darkness; Gallon grimly but silently cursing the awkwardness of his men, Ruth trying to choke out the names of the two men she loved. Suddenly she came into the free air. The little beam of her lamp Ruth Hastened Toward the Entrance of the Mine. showed her nothing but an ore car and the tools dropped by the last shift when they had quit for dinner. "Father!** she cried, peering Into the darkness beyond. "Jolinf" She stepped on Into tbe shadow and called again. Her foot slipped on tbe rough floor of the tunnel, and as she tried to save herself her lamp fell. A moment later she saw a trickle of fire running along toward the heading. It was a fuse leading to n blast that had not yet been shot. With ail light gone except that blue flicker, penned In as she was by the ore car. standing there with set brakes, what hope had she? How long would it be before that lit tle gust of flame reached powder? Thomas Gallon was old fashioned In many ways. Instead of using 00 per cent dynamite everywhere and deto natbig it by electricity, be still Insisted on using old fashioned powder and tamping It with a fuse, a sign of his obstinacy. She climbed Into the ore car and tried to unset tbe brakes. It was her only hope. Then she realised that the cable was still attached She climbed down by the light of the now flaming fuse and unbooked the heavy shackle. A moment later she was again In the car with ber little hands firmly on the lever. With strength bred of despera tion she mannged to release It. The heavy car slowly creaked away down the dark tunnel. Then it came HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH orer Rath tbat she was not strong enough to stop its momentum on the long trestle thnt led to tlie dump. She was fleeing death by fire and gas and rock only to be hurled headlong orer the lofty end of the track. A vision rose before her of being flung through the bright California air right at her father's feet. Behind her she heard the sputtering of the Inst few inches of the fuse. She crouched In the car. Just as it emerged from the tunnel's mouth It was as if h huge hand thrust j the car forward. The boom of the ex j plosion deafened her. She stood up now ia the wildly speeding car and cried, "John. John!" CHAPTER IV. The Rescue. , f— IFTEU talking to the engineer, I I John Dorr had missed Gallon iLmw :ult * saw at t ' u ~ anchor iMWl age of the ore cable car up tho hill, across the gulch from the trestle. "John," said Gallon, "I am getting old. Years ago there were two part -1 ners of us prospected this country, and we found free milling gold. 1 say 'we,' John, but there was a little girl— I kept the location of that mine to my self. There was trouble, John. He suspected me"— He turned his dim ming eyes on the stalwart young man in entreaty. "I guess you know why I tried to keep those plans to myself." "Who is the man?"' demanded the en gluecr, patting the great iron ore car rier with his hand as a man pacifies a restless animal. At that moment there came a faint cry from a miner on the trestle. "What does he want?" demanded { Gallon peevishly. John Dorr's eyes Baw the miners In the camp, wives and all, streaming out j and staring upward. They had got the meaning of that cry. He thought to himself. "Where Is Rnth?" It came over him tint she was bringing lunch eon to her father and himself In the mine. He stared up at that dark hole in the hillside and saw an eddy of smoke. Instantly he knew that she must be somewhere within that dark depth. With all the force of his lungs he bawled down to the engineer, who was staring stupidly upward; swung him self Into the bucket, pulled his signal whistle out of his pocket and blew it furiously. The engineer seemed to listen for a moment, then kicked off his brake and blew his answering whistle. A second later the bucket was swinging down the lofty cable across the gulch. It was not clear in John's mind how he could rescue Ruth. The quickest way to get to the trestle was by the bucket; then he would have those long, long stretches of ties to traverse, and when he reached that smoke filled tun nel could he get through? He must He steadied himself and thought, his eyes fixed on the hole In the hillside. The bucket was still surging a hun dred feet away from his goal when he saw the ore car emerge and in it the slender form of Ruth. No one realized better than he that her strength was not equal to setting those brakes and that she had escaped one death only to meet another. His trained eye caught sight of one chance. He yelled down to the en gineer. "Quick, quick. Tubbs!" The engineer's blank face upturned toward him seemed that of a man dazed by imminent disaster, but John Dorr's Imperious will reached across »nd down that space. The engineer pulled his throttle wide open, and as he did so John Dorr swung himself over the edge of the bucket and. hanging down by his knees right over the tres tie, waited for the oncoming car.
