XKfcMen r^fJDTet^aT^ The Talkative Woman Why Slio Chatters ami What Her Chatter Is Worth By Ida M. Tarbell in the Women's Home Companion. Talkativeness is a hallmark of feni inimity. A silent woman may be ad mirable, but she stirs uneasiness. She is like a moon in eclipse, mysterious •and fascinating, but not for daily life. The new woman bent on making over the sex is contemptuous of talkative ness. To allow the simple interests of daily life to run unconsciously and merrily off the tongue does not har monize with the strenuous career she has planned for womankind. Not that she would shut her mouth. Far from it. She would make her a conversa tionalist, not a talker. There is the same distinction between the two that there Is between the agriculturist and the farmer. There is the same term of life, for while the argriculturlst is an experimenter for a day, the farmer goes on forever. Por a habit which persists through the ages, in the face of censure and ridicule, as woman's talkativeness has, there is a reason. Generally it lies in the depths of life, where critics do not always explore. May it not be that woman's persisting habit of chatter ing has Its reason? Why Women Chatter One of their chief obligations has always been teaching the child to talk. It could only be done by In cessant repetition, going over and over the names of things until his car caught the sound, his tongue framed It. It is not difficult to sustain the thesis that if it were not for the chat tering of women, the child would never learn to talk. It has been done with French contemporary writers. Ttemy de Gourniont. He even goes so far as to declare that this chatter ing of women is a more important literary service than the writing of poems or philosophies. But feminine talkativeness plays Rheumatism J.

There is none other so universal, and on the whole so sure of its mark —story-tellins, song-singing, sports and dancing combined have not done more in the world to break the dismal strain of fatigue, of pain, of discouragement than the say talk of women. Hut it is so idle, so silly, this chat- Iter! Nothing is idle or silly which Is born of an unseltish impulse to amuse, to arouse, or console another. Talk becomes silly only when it is selfish, vain, pretentious. No matter what the subject, it is tedious and uninter esting when it springs from one of these roots. There never yet was a satirist so cruel that he found mate rial in the talk of a woman directed to teaching her child to speak, to the amusing of a worn-out husband, the consoling of a sufferinß friend. Their efforts become beautiful and sacred because of their intent. One sees only that, and thinks not at all of the things said. The Woman's Gift It is as natural for the normal wo man to talk as for the bird to sing. It is the spontaneous expression and giving of herself. It is this natural ness which gives to her talkativeness its perennial charm as well as its in calculable value in the scheme of things. The woman in the human group is much like the Monarch in x'ierre Mille's delightful tale, of that name. "Why do people call me the Monarch? Why ain I loved? Why always happy? Because." he ex plains, "1 always have time to talk. Without me the people around here would be bored to death. I go and come, laugh and sing, I cost nothing but a glass of wine, and a bit of sup per. What do I give? I give myself." The woman gives herself.

Something In her expression told him he had said enough. With a cheerful word be went away. But the next day Sir Donald renew ed his wooing In such a fashion that Ruth was sorely put to it to keep him from demanding such caresses as her engagement made him rightfully ask for. The hardest part was that she per ceived that John Dorr now knew that she was to marry Sir Donald. He did not know, nor ever would, what that marriage was the price of. Everett, of course, had quietly Intro duced Sir Donald's assertion of his new relation to Ruth Into his narrative of what had occurred In the office. John bad taken tbe blow steadily, but be was not one to walk in the dark. He sought out Ruth and In a few words drew from her the truth. "Now we ail know where we stand," John said bravely, smiling at her. "But I—l thought you loved rae too," she murmured. "That doesn't alter the matter," he said comfortingly. "Now I must get to work. I've lots to do. Wilkerson has already started work around the spur, and I must begin driving into the place where your father found that rich vein. We may drift Into It any day." Naturally enough the two camps kept pretty much to themselves, but Tom Kane carried the gossip to John Dorr, evidently in an effort to distract his mind. The old cook knew that John's heart tras breaking, and between his love for each of them he was himself bard pressed to maintain a cheerful counte nance. "Wilkerson'g impatient as ever," he told John one afternoon. "He can't wait on tunneling and sued, but he's I going to blow the whole face of his hill right off. Told his inen that dyna mite was better than pick and shovel." "Well," said John, "that may prove all right At least he'll get a notion of WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT Special to The Telegraph Gettysburg, Pa., Feb. 24.—An nouncement has been made here of the marriage of L.ee O.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH wtst rormatlon he has to deal with." j utu'i tuat same day Kane announced that Wllkerson was going to set off the biggest battery of shots ever tried tn the valley. As a consequence Faversham. Ruth, John, Everett and many others went across the gulch toward evening to watch the show. Old Tom Kane waggled his gray bead doubtfully as be related how I mhht They Saw Man After Man Coma Down the Hill Till Only Wllkerson Wu Left. much dynamite had been planted and how Wllkerson's men were actually too nervous to work any louger. "He has to tlx the fuses and tire the shots himself," he said. True enough, they saw man ; ?ter man come down the hill till only Wll kerson was left. Ruth noticed that he worked rapidly and with au occasional glance down toward Mrs. Darnell, who stood nenr a big rock shading her eyes against the evening sun. At last the work was apparently done, and Wllkerson waved bis arms. At that signal there was a general rush for cover. Then the man straightened himself up as if master of the demons hidden ac his feet, and waved his hand to the woman watching him from below; then he stooped. An instant later there was a terrific explosion, and a smoky gap appeared halfway up the hillside. At the foot of the slope lay the body of Wilkerson, tossed there as one might toss an old bat. The smoke on the hill eddied and swirled. No one stirred. There were a dozen other unexploded shots In that hill side. any one of wbicb would likely bring the toppling crest downward. With white faces they held their breath. Wilkerson's body twitched slightly, the only moving thing tn that amphitheater. Then there was a wild scream, filled with terror, with passion, with flaming and awful desire, and Jean Darnell ran over the rubble toward the smok ing hill, crying: "Harryl Harry!" A dozen men started to run to drag her back, and a hundred voices mut tered warnings that held them in their tracks. Jean reached the body and flung her self on it: then she rose and stared up at the •great rocky crest Did she hear the roar ef voices call ing to her to flee while there was time? Did she see the death that hung above her. If she did she despised it In this final catacljsm her wild heart broke through the bonds of this seltish existence and fiung ber a full passion ed sacrifice on the body of the man who bad loved her and given her his all—houor and life! In the quick silence they who watch ed heard a single, full throated cry: •'Harry'. Harry!" Then the mountain roared Into the air, and the avalanche of rock poured over the two lovers lu wave after wave till It had buried them forever. And as explosion after explosion rocked the earth and filled the evening sky with lurid debris Ruth struggled from Sir Donald's detaining grasp and fled into the arms of John Dorr, where she clung, sobbing: "John! John!" Sir Donald looked at John Dorr's transfigured face and heard that cry, meant for lover's ears alone. Very steadily he turned away and stared up at the terrific cataclysm which had united both the darkling hearted and golden youth. He found the cook beside him. his gray locks streaming in the gusts of wind from the blasts. He pointed with his stick to a piece of rock that rolled to their feet, and in the dull stlllntes that followed the terrific uproar he said: "I really believe, Mr. Kane, that we have uncovered the gold we have look ed for so long." And Tom Kane reached down and picked up the nugget and stared at It. Then be turned to the white faced gen tleman beside blm. " 'The Master KeyP" the old man muttered. "Yes." returned 81r Douald quietly, it unlocks strange doors."

Sawtelle, district representative for the McKaskey Account System, an nounces a new safe register that pro tects the merchant's acounts from lire. This cabinet has taken four years to perfect In order to give it the thorough tests necessary to comply with the McKaskey standard of perfection be fore putting on the market. The walls are one inch thick, filled with a secret composition of insulating material. Tlio cabinet is jointless, being pressed from special cold drawn steel, and there is absolutely no metal conduction to carry the heat of a fire outside through into the Inside. One inch of this wall is said to equal ten inches of lire brick. If held over a gas llame one hour the hands may be placed on the opposite side. It is hermetically sculed when closed, preventing ingress of oxygen, without which there, can be no fire. Mr. Sawtelle predicts a great success for this new addition to the McKaskey line, and Is an energetic hustler, as Is evidenced by the large number of ac count systems seen in this section.
