TROUBLES TO CLEAR
Large manufacturers in this city and
vicinity expect the bituminous coal sit

trouble will be settled in less than a
year. *

"Their Married Life "
Co"Trtght by International Neves Serrlca
Helen snapped oft the light in the
hall and went wearily to her room.
All night she had sat at the bedside
of old Mrs. Curtis, who had died early
that morning. Eyer since she and
Warren had arrived the reigns of gov
ernment had been handed over to
Helen. Carrie had lost control of
herself and could do nothing. All the
caustic element usually so paramount
in her make-up had disappeared for
the time, and she obeyed Helen's
slightest commands unquestionably..
The doctor had not left the bed
side of the patient. A nurse had
been summoned, but Helen had been
the mainstay of the family. It had
been Helen this and Helen that. War
ren felt the blow keenly and warm
hearted, impetuous Bob had broken
down like a child and at the last had
sobbed audibly.
Old Mts. Curtis had not fully re
covered consciousness. She had sunk
Into a coma and her struggling for
breath had been the sign that she
lived at all. Ile doctor had said that
she was too old to battle with an at
tack of pneumonia as sharp as the one
that had struck her and that the
tight had been a short one.
Helen knew that, although her body
was tired and she was so sleepy, that
her eyes remained open through main
force only, there would be enough to
do about the house. Carrie seemed to
have no volition at all. The white
capped silent footed nurse had led
her away at daybreak and as Helen
paused a moment at Carrie's door she
heard her audible sobbing. Then she
went in.
Carrie Takes Advice and Falls Asleep
"Carrie," she said softly, "you must
try to get some sleep. Please don't
cry like this, think of Fred and little
Roy."
"You don't know," Carrie muttered,
turning over, "wait till it strikes you,
then you'll understand."
Helen heard this with a sharp stab
of pain. Her own mother had years
to live, death seemed impossible when
thought of in connection with her.
The nurse passed down the hall as
Helen hesitated uncertain as to what
to do. She stopped when she saw
the door ajar and then knocked and
came In.
Helen turned and clasped her hands
impulsively.
Carrie was still sobbing, her should
ers heaving and her breath coming in
tearless gasps.
"Can't you give her something,"
said Helen softly.
The nurse nodded. "You sit by
her a minute," whispered. "I'll
be right back."
Helen sat by the bedside and in
a few minutes the nurse returned.
She held a glass filled with a trans
parent liquid In her hand.
"Drink this," she said soothingly,
bending over Carrie and lifting her
up with a practised hand.
Carrie pushed the glass away.
"But you must drink." persisted
the nurse, "and get some rest. You
will be needed, and if your nerves go

to pieces this way you won't be able
to help any one."
Carrie hesitated and then drank
the liquid obediently. The nurse low
ered her to the pillow and Helen
slipped a hand Into the feverish one
that lay on the spread.
Slowly the convulsive sobbing ceas
ed and at last Carrie slept with a line
of pain showing between her eyes.
"You needn't stay here any longer
now," whispered the nurse. "She will
sleep for some time now, and the lit
tle boy needs you."
Helen rose and followed the nurse
out of the room. "Where Is my hus
band," she whispered.
"He's all right," said the nurse
practically. "They are all downstairs
in the dlningroom. You'd better come
down and get a cup of coffee to steady
you. At least, after you have seen
the baby."
"How did he happen to wake up?"
questioned Helen, as she followed the
nurse to the room where little Roy
slept.
"X gruess the poor child hasn't slept
much with all the running about and
the unaccustomed noise."
"I want my mamma," wailed Roy
as Helen opened the door and went
into the room.
"Mother is asleep, now, dear," she
said tenderly, coming over and tak
ing him up on her lap. "Aunt Helen
will tell you a story."
Helen Put tlie Idttle Roy Into His Bed
Roy was generally only too glad
to hear one of Helen's famous stories
and Helen recalled suddenly how old
Mrs. Curtis had said that they were
bad for the boy, filling his head with I
tommyrot, she had said viciously.
Helen stifled a sigh. Well, Mrs. Cur
tis was dead, there was no need of
recalling unpleasant happenings of
the past. She would never again ob
ject to anything that she, Helen,
might do.
"I don't want a story." said Roy.
His eyes were heavy and his cheeks
were wet with tears. Poor little fel
low, he was worn out. "I want my
mamma," he screamed. "Where is
she. where's grandma?"
"Listen, Roy," said Helen, a little
note of command in her voice. She
motioned with her hand for the
nurse to leave her alone with the
child. "Mother will come to you
later after she has had a nap. Why
don't you take a nap, too? Then you'll
be all bright when she wakes up."
And Helen began a song, a little
crooning melody with a refrain that
was partly a hum. Slowly Roy's eye
lids drooped, and when Helen had
sung the refrain twice over, the
weary child was asleep.
She carried him over to the tiny
rumpled bed, and put him down. Then J
she lowered the shades and tiptoed |
out. Warren met her in the hall and
without a word she went to him and
he took her in his arms. It was good
to feel him holding her cjpsely, she j
felt very near and dear to him just i
then.
(Another incident in this interesting !
tale will appear here soon.)
Impersonations Will
Be Limited at Yale
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 13.—Mem
bers of the Yale Dramatic Association i
who take part in plays given by that)
organization will be restricted in their I
impersonation of female characters to 1
a period of one year, according to a ;
•decision announced to-day by Fred- j
erlck S. Jones, dean of Yale College. |
The action is taken to avoid any pos- ;
sible effeminacy which might result ;
from a continued impersonation of 1
fetnale characters, and it was taken
by the dean as a result of a decision .
by the special advisory committee of
the faculty.
Dean Jones took occasion to deny
that he had come to a decision as a re
sult of a conference with a New York
I specialist, who advised him that con
tinued female impersonations would
: make the men effeminate.
The new ruling will have no effect
on the cast of the Yale Dramatic As
sociation for the coming Christmas
performances, but will be put into ef
fect next year.
Elks and Moose Planning
to Provide Christmas Cheer
Harrisburg Elks and members of |
the Loyal Order of Moose will havo J
special Christmas programs this year.
Neither organization has completed

will be considered. One iq to give a
dinner to poor children and the other
to have a Christmas tree and dis
tribute gifts.
The committee in charge of the
program for the Elks will
j final plans next week. It is probable
a large Christmas tree will be erected
at the Elks' home and an entertain
ment provided for the poor children at
which gifts will be distributed.

TO MAKE TRAMPS WORK
Special to The Telegraph
I Lewlsburg, Pa., Dec. 13. Sheriff
| John Hackenberg has Inaugurated a
; plan that will likely cause tramps and
I freight riders to give Lewlsburg a wide
i berth In the future. Since Lewlsburg
i has paved streets there has been no
, system to keep them clean and the
| sheriff got an idea that his prisoners
; could do the work. Every winter the
I county Jail is filled with tramps and
I freight riders, who violate some trifling
J law in order to get a winter's boarding
' without work. To break this up the
l sheriff Is going to try the street sweep
|ing plan, untl this week formed his
i eighteen prisoners Into gangs of six

(// " ~
8866 (With Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance) Coat for Misses and
Small Women, l6and 18 years.
8628 Two or Three-Piece Skirt fot
Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18
years.
Girls and small women who are on the
outlook for a good model for the smart
winter suit will be sure to welcome this
one. It includes very new features, it
is absolutely chic and at the same time,
it is so simple that it can be made at home
without trouble. The coat is really a
loose one. Here, it is made with shaped
front edge and is laid in plaits that are
held in place by means of a belt, but if
a simpler coat is wanted, it can be cut
off straight at the front edge and made
without the plaits to become much sim
plified and to suggest a box coat. The
skirt is a semi-circular one, always easy to
make, always graceful and attractive.
In the picture, the material is one of the
new velvet-finished cloths and the trim
ming is fur that seems to be almost uni
versal, but the model could be copied
in any seasonable material and with
collar and cuffs of velvet or of handsome
fur plush in place of the fur, while the
edge of the skirt and the edge of the coat
are finished with braid, with banding or
in any way that may suit the fancy.
For the 16 year size the coat, will re
quire, 3 % yds. of material 36 in. wide,
yds. 44, 2}4 yds. 54 in. wide with 2)4 yds.
of fur banding for the!ower edge and 1%
yds. for the collar and cuffs; ior the skirt
will be needed, 3% yds. of material 36 in.
wide, 2 Yi yds. 4<j. or 54 in. wide with 2%
yds. of fur banding.
The patterns No. 8866 and 8828 are
both cut in sizes for 16 and 18 years.
They will be mailed to any address by
the Fashion Department of thia paper,
on receipt of ten cents for each.

in the home of Mrs. Alice Connolly, in
