GEORGE AGNEW CHAMBERLAIN J3y the cent:/&7 co. CHAPTKR TV-Alan and Alix meet at «?a, homeward bound, and start a flirta tion which becomes serious. It was Alix that discovered Alan as the Elenic steamed slowly down the Solent He was already comfortably established in his chair with a small pile of fiction beside him. She paused before she approached him. Alan had always interested her. Alix had thought of bitn heretofore as a modern exquisite subject to atavic tits that, in times past, had led him into more than one barbarous esca pade. Now in I.ondon she had by chance heard things of him that forced her to readjustment of her estimate. In six months Alan had turned himself into a mystery. "Well," she said, coming up behind him, "how are you?" Alan turned bis head slowly and then threw off his rugs and sprang to his feet. "The sky is clear." he said, "where did you drop from'.'" His eyes meas ured her. She was ravishing in a fur toque and coat which had yet to re ceive their baptism of import duty. "Oh." said Alix. "my presence is humdrum. .Tust the usual returning from six weeks abroad. But you! You come front the hauuts of wild beasts and front all accounts you have been one." "Been one! From all accounts!" ex claimed Alan, a puzzled frown on his face. "Just what do you mean?" They started walkine. "I mpant that even in Africa one can't hide from Pic cadilly. In Piccadilly you are already known. Not as .Mr. Alan Wayne, a New York social -satellite, but as a whirlwind in shirt sleeves. Ten Per- V cent Wayne, in short." She looked nt him with teasing archness. She could see that he wax worried. "Satellite is rather rough," remarked Alan. "I never was that." "All bachelors are satellites in the nature of things—satellites to other men's wives." "Have you a vacancy?" said Alan. They both knew they were embark ing upon a dangerous game, but Alix played it often. N'o pretty woman takes her European degree without ample occasion for practice and Alix had been through the European mill. She threw out her daintily shod feet as she walked. She was full of life. She felt like skipping. The light of battle danced merrily in her eyes. She made no other reply. "I met lots of people we both know," she said, at last. "Which one of them passed on the news that I had taken to the ways of a wild beast?" "Oh. that was the Honorable Percy. I only caught a few words. He was telling about a man known as Ten Percent Wayne and the only time he'd ever seen the shirt-sleeve policy work with natives. When I learned it was Africa. I linked up with you at once and screamed and he turned to me and said. 'You know Mr. Wayne?" But Just then Lady Merle signaled the re treat. and when the men came out somebody else snaffled Collingeford be fore I got a chance." "Oh, Collingeford." said Alan. "I remember." He frowned and was si lent. "Alan." said Alix after a moment, "let me warn you. I see a new ten dency in you but before it goes any further than a tendency let me tell you that a thoughtful man is a most awful bore. When I caught sight of you I thoueht. 'What a delightful little party." but if you're going to be pensive there are others —" Alan glanced at her. "Alix." he said, mimicking her tone. "I see in you the makings of an altogether charming woman. I'm not speaking of the painstaking veneer—l suppose you need that in your walk of life—but what's under it. There may be others, as you say. Pretty women have taken to wearing men for bangles. But don't you make a mistake. I'm not a ban gle. I've just come from the unclothed world of real things. To me a man is just a man aud, what's more, a woman is just a woman." "How un-American," said Alix. * "It's more than that," said Alan, "It's pre-American." Alix was thoughtful in her turn. Alan caught her by the arm and turned her toward the west. A yawl was just crossing the disk of the disappearing sun. Alix felt a thrill at his touch. "It's a sweet little picture, isn't it?" she said. "But you mustn't touch me, Alan. It can't be good for us." "So you feel it too." said Alan, and took his hand from her arm. During the voyage they were mnch together, not in dark corners but wag tng their battle in the open—two swim mers that fought each other, forgetting to fight the tide that was bearing them out to sea. Alan was not a philander- j er to snatch an unrequited kiss. To him a kiss was the seal on surrender. But to Alix the game was Its own goal. As she had always played it, nobody had ever really won anything. However, it did not take her long to THURSDAY EVENING, appreciate that in Alan she had an opponent who was constantly getting under her guard and making her feel things—things that were alarming In themselves like the jump of one's heart into the throat or (lie intoxication that goes with hot, racing b'.ood. Alan's power over women was in voice and words. If he had been hid eous it would have been the same. With his tongue lie carried Alix away and gave her that sense of isolation which lulls a woman into laxity. One night as they sat side by side, a single great rug across their knees. Alan laid his hand under cover on hers. A quiver went through Alix' body. Her closed hand stirred nervously but site did not really draw it away. "Alan," she said, "I've told you not to! Please don't. It's common—this sort of thing." Alan tightened his grip. "You say it's common." h* said, "because you've never thought it out. Lightning was common till somebody thought it out. I sit beside you without touching you and we are in two worlds. I grip your hand—like this —and the abyss be tween us is closed. While I hold you nohing can come between." Alix' hand opened and settled into his. For a while ihey sat sileut. then Alix recovered herself. "After all," she said, "we're not on a desert island but on a ship with eyes in every cor ner." Alan leaned toward her. "But if we were. Alix; If we were on a desert island—you .md I—" For a moment Alix looked into his burning eyes. She felt that there was fire in her own eyes, too—a fire she could not altogether control. She dis engaged lierseif and sprang up. Alan rose slowly and stood beside her. He did not look at her parted lips and hot cheeks: lie had suddenly become lan guid. "That's it." he drawled, "eyes In every corner. I wonder how many morals would stand without other peo ple's eyes to prop thcui up?" Towards the end of the voyage Alix faced, wide-eyed, the revelation that the stakes of the game she and Alan had played were body anil soul. "Alan." she said one nicht with droop ing head. "I've had enough. I don't want to play any more. I want to Quit.' She lifted tear-filled eyes to him. The foil of artificiality had been knocked from her hand. She was all woman and defenseless. Alan felt a trembling in all hi» limbs. "I want to quit. too. Alix," he said in his low vibrating voice, "but I'm afraid we can't. You see, I'm beaten, too. While I was just in love with your body we were safe enough, but now I'm in love with you. It's the kind of love a man can pray for In vain. No bead in it; nothing but heart. Honor and dishonor become "We Can't Break the Tension, Alix." mere names. Nothing matters to me but you." Tears crawled slowly down Alix' cheeks. She stood with her elbows on the rail and faced the ocean so no one might see. Her bands were locked. In her mind her own thoughts were running. Somehow she could undei» stand Alan without listening. If only Gerry had done this thing to her, she was thinking, the pitiless wracking misery would have been joy at white heat. She was unmasked nt last —but Gerry had not unmasked her. Not once since the day of their engage ment had Gerry unmasked himself. (To be continued.) I'KNN GRANGE RECITAL Special to the Telegraph Dickinson, Pa., Feb. 17.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH PENBROOK SHOWS PROGRESSIVENESS [Continued From l'irst Paste.] ; I lie lons discussion appears to have j opened the way for a short debate in | council, so that, according to the pres -1 ent arrangements, the paving ordi- I nances will be passed early in April. 1 Work can be started soon after, so that before Fall Penbrook will have a j main street which will compare favor , ably with the main street in any town | in the country. Ask State Aid The paving movement found its be | ginning in the west end of the bor ough. Residents whose properties 1 front along about one-sixth of the entire length of Main street signed a petition asking council to grade and pave that stretch and place the neces sary curbing. Council asked the State to heli> in the work and the Highway Department agreed to pay for eight feet, because Main street is a part of a State road. Then the movement spread to the other section of Main street, but some property owners did not favor the project because about, eighteen years ago they had to pay for the placing of curbing in front of their { properties and also for the resurfacing |of the street. The section where the paving plan originated was never graded and, of course, curbing was 1 never placed. Petitions were circulated among the ' residents whose properties fronted on the remaining five-sixths of Main street and following several meetings four-lifths of the property owners signed the petition. Because of the complications arising over the curbing 'in the one section it was necessary to draw up two ordinances, one to cover ! the one-sixth of the street where prop j erty owners must, pay for both paving land curbing and the other to cover I paving only for the other property owners on the street. Both of these ordinances were given to council on February 7 and passed first reading. The lirst Monday in March they will be taken up for second reading. The Harrisburg Railways Company will enter into the paving movement, too. and will pay for about seven feet. With the eight feet which the State will pay for there will be a total of fifteen feet which property owners will not have to figure on. The street is twenty-eight feet wide, so that, only thirteen feet will have to be paid for by residents. This means that property owners on each side of the street will have to pay for a strip six and one half feet wide and as long as the front age of their properties. Main street from the eastern to the western borough limits is 3,100 feet long and when the paving is completed there will be an excellent stretch of road from Harrisburg to a point near Ijinglestown. By the terms of the ordinance, resi dents can pay cash for the paving or they can extend payments, with in terest. over a period of five years. The members of Penbrook's council are: Harrison Clay, president, C. 1,. Wirt, M. J. Sheaffer, Amos Buck, R. Frank Ober, O. M. Neumeyer and j Charles Shive. Burton R. Speas is I . secretary. j FEBRUARY 17, 1916. Recent Deaths in i Central Pennsylvania Special to the Telegraph .Marietta.

A. 1 STOMACH TROUBLES DUE TO ACIDITY So-called stomach troubles, such as In ; digestion, wind, stomach-ache and in ability to retain food, are in probably j nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation, the result of excess ' acid, is taking place in the food con j tents of the stomach causing the for i illation of gas. Wind distends the stom ach and causes that full, oppressive | feeling sometimes known as heartburn, ! while the acid irritates and inflames I the delicate lining of the stomach. The I trouble lies entirely In the excessive | secretion of acid and the fermentation of food. Such fermentation Is un natural and may involve harmful conse quences if not corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation of food contenLa | of the stomach and to neutralize the j acid, and render it bland and harmless ! a teaspoonful of Uisurated Magnesia' perhaps the best and most effective cor rector ot acid stomacn known, should lie taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water immediately after eat ing. or whenever wind or acidity is felt This stops the fermentation, and neu tralizes the acidity In a few moments Fermentation, wind and acidity are un necessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a proper antacid, such as Ris urated Magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist and thus enable the ; stomach to do its work properly with- I out being hindered by gas and ex cessive acid. 5 Stock Transfer j •: Ledger i J The Pennsylvania Stock '! ; >J Transfer Tax Law (act of June I* j J 4, 1915) which Is now In effect, "J •J requires all corporations In the J' j ji State, no matter how large or | i how small thoy may be, to keep J" ji a Stock Transfer Ledger.
