At a recent meeting between the operators and min ers ; the operators were very courteous to the miners. They treated them as one man would treat another who is not a mortal enemy. In a word, the anthracite operators conducted themselves as gentlemen. This has been mistaken as a sign of weakness* The assumption seems to be that a man must be firm to . turn down a demand and must be something of a brute. As a matter of fact, the attitude of the operators means nothing. They may conceal behind their action a decision to give the men something or they may mean to pay nothing. In view of all the circumstances in the coal regions we are advising our customers to have coal enough on hand to last until warm weather. United Ice & Coal Co. I''«r*<rr A.

(Copyright, 1916, Star Co.) The physician of the soul and the physician of the body often have oc casion to hold secret consultations in a country village. Thus it happened I that, after trying in vain to sleep on the night of Mary Baird's visit, Mr. Evans arose In the early morning, and without waiting for his break fast, walked across the tlelds that lay between his home and that of Dr. Monroe, the Milton physician. He chose this short-cut not only be cause he was in a hurry, but be cause lie wished to avoid meeting any curious parishioners, although at this early hour few people would be abroad. He had rid compunctions about | arousing his old friend, the doctor. Had not Monroe called the clergy man out of bed on numerous occa sions to administer comfort to some j one who was ill or dying? That was It he business of each. And this | tragedy was the most important j thing that had ever come into the I pastoral experience of the Rev. i I Henry Evans. Early as it was the blinds of Dr. j Monroe's bedroom windows were! open. He was an old bachelor, yet I his habits were as regular as his j profession permitted. "Come in! Come in!" a voice from \ above called as Mr. Evans entered ; the front gate. "The door's un ! locked. Go on into the office and j make yourself comfortable. I'll be down in a minute." He was as good as his word and - I was in his office almost, as soon as J Ills visitor. "I'm up early this morning hav- | ing had a good sleep," he remarked. | "Jane's almost out of danger, so I ! was not listening all night for a j message from there." "I understand she's better," re i joined the clergyman. "It's about ! her, in a way, that 1 want to talk 'to you. Can we be absolutely alone ' and free from interruption lor a i tew minutes? I've something to i tell you and some papers for you ' to read." "Let's have a cup of coffee first. ; Katie has it ready, I guess," the ! doctor suggested. hike other physicians. " he was able to postpone professional mat ! ters until he had fortitied the inner I man. If doctors did not do this they would die even earlier than I they do. But to the uninitiated, the J I habit is exasperating. In spite of the good cup of coffee ! PLAID MATERIALS MOST ATTRACTIVE Cottons or Woolens Will Make Up Prettily in This Simple Style By MAY MAN7ON 8977 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Girl's Dress, 8 to 14 years. The plaid materials are very attractive , this season and the washable ones are J perhaps especially so. This frock shows ■ one printed to give a bias effect and is ; trimmed with plain color. It is a very practical little dress as well as a smart one and it can be finished with a sailor collar, as it is on the figure, or with a round collar and higher neck. Also, if i liked trimming portions may be arranged ; over the lower edge of the blouse i as shown in the small view. .The straight skirt is laid in plaits. Linen, j pique, galatea, gingham and materials of such sort seem to suggest them selves at once for such a frock but it 1 also can be made of challis and of other wool materials with success. Dark blue French serge or challis with the trim- , ming portion on the blouse, the round 1 collar and the cuffs of plaid taffeta would make a very pretty effect.

"Now," he announced at last. "I'm | j ready for you, Evans. Come on into i the inner office. Katie," to the maid who had served the repast, "see | that I am not called for the next half hour. Take any messages that come, please, but don't disturb me unless it's a matter of life and death. Understand?" "Yes, sir," Katie said meekly. "Vow, What's Up?" "Now, what's up?" the doctor de manded as soon as he was seated in I his office at one side of t. he table j j with Evans on the other side. "You look as if you had a batch of legal papers there. What are they?" "First hear my story," Mr. Evans replied. "Then we'll look at the pa pers." He told of Mary Baird's visit, in terrupted only by the muttered ex clamations of his listener. The nar ration consumed only a few min j utes. The reading of the papers in the long envelope that Mr. Evans I | had brought, took longer. Mary Baird, with merciless detail, i had written the sordid, brutal facts. I She bad spared neither herself nor i the man who had betrayed her. And as If fearing that the story might not be believed, she had enclosed re j celpts for the money she had sent to the Home for Feeble-minded Chil ] dren. [ She had also enclosed the tele ! gram that had informed her that ! Thomas Baird had died in convul sions on May 7th, and asking what ( disposition was to be made of the | body. After the documents had been carefully inspected, the physician asked a single question. "How old did you say the boy ! was?" "Seven," replied the minister. "Then she had been living with Reeves for at least three years or more when it was born. It was undoubtedly his child." A sudden idea smote the clergy man. "But you must have noticed —must have known that she was ill or—" The Doctor Kxplains Dr. Monroe raised his hand to protest. "Not so fast, not so fast, my dear friend! I know that Mrs. Baird went away for a visit, that 1 she came back looking pale and ; worn, and that she said she had been ill while staying with friends. I asked for no further information." "But did you suspect nothing? Did it ever occur to you that" Again the doctor checked him. "My dear man, we doctors don't let things 'occur' to us. If they do, wc hold our tongues. As to what we .suspect. if we were to voice some of our suspicions, some people would have to leave town, perhaps our | selves first of all." He laughed, then grew Bober again. "Seriously," he added. "I ! knew nothing, and T had no busi i ness to suspect anything. So I \ didn't. But since learning the aw ful suspicions with regard to Jane, I have well—l have been remem bering back and wondering" There was a hurried knock at the I door. "Come in!" Monroe called crossly. "Katie," as the girl's face \ appeared in the entrance, "didn't I tell you not to disturb me?" "Oh, Doctor," the girl stammered, ! i "you said not unless it was a mat- ; Iter of life and death. And it is! At j ! least it's a matter of death, for | j Jake from Mr. Reeves' place is j here, and he says that they've just! (found Mrs. Baird's body in the! river down by the dam, dead, [ drowned!

Then, too, they i ! would bo assured of good roads to Newton Hamilton, Mt. Union and ] Lewistown and it must be said that the | roads are far from being in the best condition just now. Residents point ! out that over this course there is suf j ticient material at hand for good road i building, inasmuch as for many miles along the old turnpike there are great ! deposits of limestone. The tentative j |route of the William Penn Highway,! as outlined by the Huntingdon Cham ber of Commerce takes in McVey town. The permanent route will like ly be decided at the meeting in Har j risburg and it is the fear that the j I Kishacoquillas Valley route may be [selected instead of the turnpike route j 'in this territory that has stirred the i McVeytown residents to action and! that the tentative route be made per i manent. 'Lewistown enthusiasts want the highway through this town, too, and then again, another point on I which McVeytown men base their' I hopes is that Governor Brumbaugh j favors the Juniata Valley route. Tn 1 ja letter to James Macklin, treasurer jof the borough council and a promi- Inent businessman, the Governor ex i pressed himself as being heartily in favor of the Juniata route. Certainly, the final adoption of the route through here would mean that some road | building would have to be done, but 'the William Penn Highway advocates here explain that with the great mass of limestone at hand, it would he an jeasy matter to build a most excellent road. Discuss Advantages | A few nights ago representative citi i zens of McVeytown. Oliver and Brat ten townships met here and discussed the advantages of the William Penn ; Highway. Bratten township is across the river from McVeytown and the road would not pass through that section, but nevertheless the residents j are showing great interest because I with the adoption of the route through I here they would have beter roads in getting to Mt. Union or Lewistown. James Macklin was chairman of the i meeting and Andrew S. McKee was I chosen secretary. Petitions were drawn I up for circulation in the borough and l in the two townships. The local peti tions are in charge of John S. Lef -1 fard. Mr. Leffard will also go to Rydc, a town near here, which could also use the road advantageously and se cure signers. In Oliver township pe titions were given to George \V. Dun mire, a county commissioner, and Frank C. Kerr. Signers in Bratten I township will be gotten by Frank 1 llarshbarger and Ira Miller. The men who have the netltions have ar ranged to attend all of the public sales in the neighborhood and in this way secure hundreds of names.

Council ! will also arrange to have two or more j of their members go to Harrlsburg to' 1 officially represent the borough. The ] 1 members of the council are William j P. Stevenson, a member of the State i Forestry Commission, president, E. C. j i Kimberly, D. B. Rodkey, William i Beers, Charles Bingerman, James | | Mackiln, treasurer, and Thomas; | White. I Residents of McVeytown are high- j !ly elated over the prospects of the j highway coming through hero because j i the names of the three county coni ] missioners are attached to the peti tions in circulation for this route. Charles G. C'orbin, of Granville, the 1 representative from this district, has ; | also affixed his signature to one of the ; petitions, showing that he, too, favors ' ; this route. The highway would enter I McVeytown at Water street and then ' continue to John street, to Market, to Lumber and then connect onto the i road through Long Hollow to Mill Creek. Road beds in McVeytown are built of limestone so that only the best possible highways are to be found here. James Macklin, in speaking of the 1 proposed highway, said: "We are lo \ cated on the shortest route from I Lewistown to Mill Creek and there is j a straight line between here and Lewistown. Some work was done on the road from here to Lewistown last I summer, but the stretch is still in bad ' condition. There is limestone along j the route, however, so that when ! plans are made to build a good road j through here there will be little diffi culty in getting the material. Gover nor Brumbaugh favors the route through here; he told me so in a let ter and I feel confident that when the 1 route is finally decided upon, McVey | town will be along the great hlgh ! way." Mr. Stevenson likewise is confident |that McVeytown will not be slighted when the permanent route is selected: "It certainly is the easiest, the natural land the most level route through this 1 territory that can be found and then, I too, we have a good road through our town. I'm going to Harrlsburg to attend the meeting on March 27 and I'm going to do all I can to give Mc- Veytown a place on the route. There will be a number of others of us there too, and I do not believe that there will be much energy exerted to change the present tentative route through here." Another Booster Another man who is much interest jed in the William Penn Highway is J. F. Stlne, of the firm of Stine Broth ers. owners of the McVeytown Gar age. Mr. Stine pointed out that the road of 25 miles along the old turn l pike from Lewistown to Mt.

"Farmers in Bratten township, across the river," said Mr. Stine, "come to this side and vise the pres ent road to Mt. Union and Liewistown. They have a road on their side which is in terrible condition. It's a town ship thoroughfare and hardly lit to travel, so they come over here. The road from Liewistown to the county bridge at the west end of Mt. Union is in bad condition too, but if this road is selected by the William Penn High way advocates then it will be put in good condition. I'm In favor of the !
