The Right-0 Stories
By Dorothy I>ix
"The tender passion appears to he
unusually fatal this season," observed
the Stenographer, giving an additional
slick to her peeled opinion effect coit
ture.
"It always Is," agreed the Book
keeper sourly, "few that make love
escape matrimony. It's as dangerous
as playing with dynamite. But what's
on your mind just now?"
"Suicide," replied the Stenographer;
"every paper that you pick up is full
i f accounts of R'omeoes and Juliets
who have hiked out for the Great
Beyond over the rough-on-rats route,
or the gas express, because he or she
srot turned, down for some other
jammy young thing, or love's young
dream struck some kind of a snag."
"Well," exclaimed the Bookkeeper,
"you'll never hear of me blowing out
my alleged brains over any female
lady girl person, but all the same it
docs give a fellow a grouch to part
with his hard-earned coin trotting a
girl around to theaters and dances
and staking her out to feeds, and then
for her to turn him down for some
skate who is not one-two-three in the
running."
"Surest thing you know," assented
the Stenographer, "but it seems to me
that under such circumstances in
stead of going into the discard a man
phould go out and offer up brunt offer
ing to the great god Duck. For if
the girl didn't appreciate him it shows
that she wasn't the bill of lading he
thought she was."
"Right-o," said the Bookkeeper,
and it's curious what a slump a girl's
stock takes after you find out that
she prefers another to you. Before
you can say 'scat' you flip over from
the bull side to the bear side of her
market and wonder what ever made
you fool enough to think that you
wanted her for a permanent invest
ment."
"All- that Is wanted to cure the
worst case of blighted affection is
twenty-four hours and a liver pill,"
remarked the Stenographer, "and If
these Blighted Beings would only give
themselves that kind of treatment
they would be patting themselves on
their backs as favorites of fortune
instead of hunting for the prusslc acid
bottle.
"They'd be saying, 'Oh, I'm a Saga

TUESDAY EVENING,
clous Sue, or Wise Willy, to have
missed running my neck into the mat
rimonial noose with a life partner that
is such a bonehead he or she couldn't
appreciate a good thing like Me when
he or she saw it. Oh, I'm the great
original Honolulu Hunch! I'm the
Darling of the Gods! You can't fool
ME!"
"Marriage is a con game any way
you look at it," said the Bookkeeper
gloomily. "You never know what vou
are getting until you have got it, and
then it's too late to duck and run."
"Marriage is the great transforma
tion act of the world," replied the
Stenographer. "I've seen It turn liv
ing skeletons into feather beds and
roly poly dumplings into living skele
tons. I've seen men who were howl
ing swells before marriage wheeling
a baby carriage after marriage. I've
seen six-footers, who could whip their
weight in wildcats, cower before a lit
tle two-by-four piece of femininty to
whose apron string they were tied.
"And I've seen a woman fish a thing
out of the gutter and marry it and
make a man of It. And as for dispo
sitions, nobody living is able to tell
whether matrimony is going to turn a
man or woman into a manufactory of
the milk of human kindness or a vin
egar factory.
"That's the reason I wouldn't worry
over what I didn't get," agreed the
Bookkeeper.
"You never hear of a broken heart
being assigned as a reason for a mar
ried man committing suicide," said the
Stenographer.
"After a man is married he never
has time to think of his hlighted af
fections," returned the Bookkeeper,
"besides It isn't his heart that aches
and has an empty void in It. It's his
pocket."
"Did you ever meet an old love who
had given you the icy mitt in the
years gone by?" Inquired the Steno
grapher sentimentally.
"One," grinned the Bookkeeper.
"What did you do?" asked the
Stenographer.
"I took her husband out and bought
him a drink," replied the Bookkeeper,
"and then I sent an annonymous dona
tion to the church as a thanks offer
ing for having been delivered from
great peril."

Though h« would have knocked
down the man who even queried him
regarding his matrimonial judgment.
Joseph Drum flushed as he reluctant
ly room to a traitorous thought In
his mind. For weeks, for months he
had felt the ground slipping beneath
his feet, had seen the pyramid of debt
piling higher and higher, yet had
dared take no exact measurement of
it, hoping against all reasonable
hope that "something would turn up"
to save him. But the bill he had
Just opened from Hale A Co., for
$256, had Anally forced him make
out the long list of his indebtedness
Which lay upon his counter.
Five thousand dollars a year! What
a huge sum it had seemed to them
both' His lipe curled in a bitter
smile Five thousand dollars a year
and already, within a few months
after marriage, Ills surplus savings
ha<* been wiped out, his salary spent,
and h» owed ten thousand dollars.
And it was his own fault—he, the
banker's fault. It was a child he
had married, a pampered, spoiled
child to whom jewel and go and
ohampagne gravitated naturally and
whose only worry was the obtaining
of sufficient pennies to purchase
food. Her idea of money was nil.
Presents had always been showered
upon her by ardent gentlemen of the
front row. And she had such perfect
taste, she looked so wonderfully
beautiful in everything she bought,
and her sole delight was in the pleas
ure this adornment gave the man
■he loved! Drum sighed as h«
■canned the tragic figures again.
A perfect wife she had made him,
perfect save in her extravagance. And
he had not warned at the time when
warning would have been easy. Now,
■he would take it as a reproach.
Now where could he hope to raise
ten thousand dollars? How could he
make the six hundred dollars in his
pocket over into a sufficient sum to
start them anew?
He pushed the tell-tale tabulation
hurriedly aside as Flo swept into the
bank and sought his cage. The old
thrill of delight swept other thoughts
aside as he reveled in the grace, the
beauty of her, drank in deep draughts
of the intoxicating devotion that
glowed in her eyes as they found his
own. He even smiled as, in her
dear, wheedling way she glowingly

to Her Husband.
described the beauties of a pearl j
necklace, amazingly low-priced. sh« ,
had seen In the window of Lattlmer's I
Jewel shop. Drum was still smiling j
as his eyes followed her out of sight,'
then the smile disappeared as a i
movement of his hands brought the j
fatal inventory of debts to light again, i
The hours dragged their Intermin
able length across the clock dial. He
thought the hands would never point
to three. In those hours the teller
seemed to pass a lifetime. But they
finally came to an end and, before
the doors were even closed he was
upon the street, striding swiftly to
ward a certain cigar store, which he
knew was used as a blind for the ]
gambling house In the rear which
Williams visited.
The gambler made explanation
simple by cutting squarely to the
point. From under his brows he ap
praised Drum, In that swift, incisive
glance which a faro dealer gives the
, players about his bank, most keenly
I and decisively appraising of all looks,
i "Flo's a great Jane, Drum," the
gambler admitted slowly. "She's
been a dandy sister to me. But she
certainly does throw up the coin.
She's got you on the bum already.
How much are you In for?"
He whistled as Drum thrust the list
of debts into his hand, his eyes
squinting narrowly from It to the
harassed teller. Suddenly he cam*
to a decision.
"Well, you're nailed hard, old man,
and you've got to make a clean-up to
break loose. That's all I can see to
, do and, believe me, If there's a loop
j hole from any scrape I don't need a
i epy glass to And it."
Drum lifted his hands, dropping
| them helplessly to his sides. The
situation was entirely too much for
him. Williams smiled and slapped
him cheerfully on the back.
I "Well, it don't get you anywhere
riding on a hearse before the under
taker calls. You've got six hundred
beans and you've gotta have ten
thousand dollars. Take a chance—
that's the only answer. Brodie did
and they're still talking about it.
■ Take a chance —do you get me
j right?"
"And you really think the chancea
j are good?"
"I flgger this way," Williams cut
him short, carelessly accepting the
roll of bills. "You're a beginner and
old Mrs. Luck likes fresh meat. On
the other hand, you need the coin
badly and she has a nasty way of
turning her back on a guy when he's
fixed that way. He squinted specu
latively aft the ground and Drum
j ahivered as again he caught that
darting, appraising upward scrutiny
from under the brows. "But maybe
she'll let you win for a teaser and
throw you down when you need It
■worse. Put your money on Betamour
tomorrow."
111.
Restlessly, feverishly he performed
his duties the following day. The
evening had been one of agony to
him, the Inability to meet his wife's
calm, tender eyes, the failure to bring
his thoughts away from the impend
ing transaction that meant so much
to him. He could hardly wait until
the papers were out.

Do You Want
To Be Well
Or Sick
————
Of course I want to be well.
f>o you think I am trying to
beat some sick benefit Insur
ance company? You will look
a long while before you will
find anybody who will admit
that he does not want to be
well.
All right, Ist me put the
question in another way, then.
Ho you want to be well bad
enough to take the means of
getting well ?
Yes, if X knew what the
means were. But there is no
use of your springing any old
shop talk on me about some
remedy you know of that will
cure this and cure that. I have
heard that sort of talk a good
while. It doesn't go with me.
Never mind, I am not going to
recommend any remedy. I will
just let the other fellow do it
who took the remedy. Will you
take the trouble to read It?
Here it is:
BeV. E. Cottrell, D. D., a
Methodist Episcopal Bishop,
says:. "I have used Peruna in
severe cases of neuralgia, colds
and coughs, and find it to be
one of the most valuable reme
dies on the market." His ad
dross is Holly Springs, Miss.
If you won't believe what the
preacher tells you, 1 guiess I
shall have to conclude that you
want to be sick; that you do
not want to be well.

A NEW SKIRT
WITH PANEL EFFECT
A Smart Model That Can be Finished
With or Without Straps in
Suspender Style.
By MAY MAN TON
8641 Four-Piece Skirt, 34 to 3a waisu
Here is a skirt that is in every way new
and smart for the coat suit and which ia
really perfect for wear wuh the summer
blouses. It consists of two pieces with
j a panel at each side and it can be made
1 made of one material throughout or of j
two, as a result or is ideal for making j
over the narrow skirt of last season. :
As shown, gabardine is combined with 1
charmeuse sat in and the effect is a hand
some one. We are using a great deal of
silk this season and a great many striped
silk materials. Black and white striped
| taffeta with the panels made bias or of
| plain black eilk would be handsome, or,
if linen and other washable materials are
j under consideration, it would be pretty
I to use colored linen for the main portion*
i and yoke and white for the panels,
1 or plaid feponge would be pretty with
i plain panels or with panels of the same
j cut bias, or plaid gingham could be
I treated In the same way and plaidi are
j wonderfully beautiful this season. When
1 suspenders are used, they are attached
' under the edges of the yoke. The buttona
j and simulated button-holes make an
, attractive finish.
J For the medium size will be needed
I 3><j yds. of material 27 in. wide, a% yds.
36 or 44, with yds. any width
i for the panels.
The pattern 8641 is cut in sizes from
24 to 32 in. waist measure. It will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt of
ten cents.

Another Jar For the
Housewife as Result
of European War
Houewives were jarred considerably
to-day when it was learned that the
glass jars for canning in the summer
will be at least $1 a gross higher this
year.
The advance in price is caused by the
difficulty of obtaining some of the ma-
I terials firm Germany used In manufac
turing the glass. Just how much the
increase will be Is not known, but It
is expected that it will range from
eight to fifteen cents a dozen, as the
season for canning advances. The
housekeeper will also have her annual
trouble about the increase in the nrice
lot' sugar, it was said to-day by local
| dealers. If the fruit season is good,
the price of sugar will advance ac
cordlnglv, it is believed. A slight ad
vance usually accompanied the ap
proach of preserving and canning time,
but the women are not too well pleased
with the increase in the price of jars
also.

Stream Choked With
Bodies of Dead After
Fiercest Fight of War
London, June 8, 3.59 A. M. —The
fiercest fighting of the war as far
as the Baltic provinces of Russia are
concerned occurred a few days ago
in a battle for the mastery of the
Dubysa river according to the Post's
Petrograd correspondent. The river
changed hands five times in one day
and at night fall the stream was com
pletely choked with bodies of thou
sands of dead, so that a plank road
way of artillery was laid by the vic
torious Russians across a solid bridge
of bodies, the correspondent says.
The Dubysa, although wide, is so
shallow it can be crossed on foot at
some places. The Russians and Ger
mans met at a ford half a mile wide,
north of Rossijeny, where they fought
all day in the water. There were sev
eral bayonet charges in midstream
and all who fell, even though they
were only slightly wounded, were
drowned. Troops of both sides in their
attacks and counter attacks late In
the day advanced over the bodies of
the dead.
