OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XIII.
Copyright, 1916, Star Company.
The following week Myra Webb
Bold another article.
Perhaps one reason that success
breeds success is that it gives one a
kind of courage that nerves to fur
ther effort. It is certain that her suc
cess prompted Myra to call upon an
other editor, in spite of her former
conviction that she could never bring
herself to repeat that experiment.
But the second editor whose office
she invaded was a gentleman.
"There's a bit too much of it, T'm
afraid," "Still, if you do not mind
leaving it with me, it will give me
pleasure to read it and report ot you
very soon." Then, as she assented,
he added. You know, perhaps, that
we do not pay high prices for such
matter."
"I did not know," she acknowl
edged hastily, but that makes no dif
ference."
Her second story—the one she had
written from her heart while in sus
pense as to air. Lawlor's verdict upon
her ordered article she had called
the story "Bitter Waters") —had been
already mailed to several magazines.
She was not surprised when it came
back with appalling regularity.
When "Bitter Waters" returned
from its sixth journey, she still ad
hered to her habit of starting it on
another trip immediately. And on
that same day she received a few lines
from Mr. Maiden, saying that he was
accepting her article and that a check
for $lO would reach her in a few days.
She tried not to be disappointed that
the remuneration was so small. She
was not in a position to demand high
prices for her work.
She gave Grace the $5 she had bor
rowed from her. The girl received
It with an expression of surprise.
"You've been making some money?"
she asked, curiously.
"Yes." Myra replied. "I have sold
two articles, dear."
"That's good," the daughter re
loined. "But I think you made a mis
take in paying for having your type
writing done. Why not hire a ma
•hine? You can get one for $5 a
month."
"But I don't know how to use It,"
Myra objected.

WHDNRSDAY EVENING,
"Then learn." was the concise ad
vice. "When you consider how much
you pay out of your profits for copy
ing you will see how much more econ
nomical It is to do your own typing.
And you ought to learn to compose on
the machine, too. It will save you
a lot of time."
Thus it came about that $5 was paid
in advance on a typewriter, and that
late each night Myra Webb sat at the
machine learning to do her own copy
\ng.
The days slipped by rapidly, and
suddenly the woman awoke to the fact
i that she must sell something else, and
!do it very soon. And that same day
there came a special delivery letter
I from Mr. Lawlor. It was curt in tone
and began with a complaint that she
1 had no telephone.
"I tried to call you up, but T could
I not," he wrote. "There is a bit of
\ work I want done at once. If you
i care to 1111 orders, you should have
i a telephone."
A Hint I'rom 1 .aw lor
An hour after she had read his let
ter she was in his office receiving in
structions for the article he wished
as soon as possible. Three days later
it was in his hands.
I "If this is all right, I'll send a check
i next week," he said. "The same, rate
as before, a cent a word. You made
| this one only twenty-live hundred
I words long—didn't you?"
I "Yes."
"And you'd better do as I suggest
and have a telephone put into your
! home. We may want you to do oth
er things in a hurry."
It seemed like rash extravagance,
she mused —yet she must keep in
(ouch with anyone from whom she
might get work. She mentioned the
subject timidly to her husband as they
sat at dinner that night. He looked
I doubtful.
"I think you are risking a good
deal. Myra," he objected. "You can't
| be sure that this man will ever give
you another order."
"Still, you must do as you please
I about it," Horace Webb added. "It's
|vour affair, not mine.'.'
Couldn't he understand that it was
all of it as much his affair as hers—
that all she was doing was done to
I help him?

renaerness had crept into iverrp's
drawl. Alix looked up. "Please." she
said, "tell me all about him —all about
these years."
Kemp hesitated before he spoke. "I
ain't got the words ner the right to
tell you all about them three years.
Mis' Lansing, an' i can't tell you all
about Mr. Lansing, 'cause the biggest
part o" some men don't meet the eye
it's inside ou >m. Thet's the way it
is with Mr. Lansing. I c'n tell you
though, thet Mr. Lansing is well an
strong—strong enough to swing a steer
by the tail.
"That's what I know. Now I'll tell
ye some o' my thoughts. Mr. Lansing
wa'n't born to be a maverick. Right
now, I'm williu' to wager, he's headed
for home and the corral, but he ain't
comin' on the run—he's browsin' and
chewin' his cud.
"When I seen him five weeks ago I
thought on hog-tyin' him an' briugin'
him along, 'cause Mr. Wayne had tol'
me about you an' the two-year-old. But
it come to me that a woman of sperlt—
one of ourn—wouldn't want her man
should be brought in. She'd sooner
he'd hog-tie hisseff."
Alix' head hung in thought. Her
hands were clasped in her lap. As
Kemp's last words sank in the first
NO DOUBT THAT
RESINOL DOES
HEAL SICK SKN
When you know physicians have
prescribed Resinoi for over 20 years
in the treatment of eczema and other
itching:, burning, unsightly skin erup
tions. and have written thousands of
reports saying: "It Is my regular
prescription for itching." "Resinoi has
produced brilliant results," "The result
it gave was marvelous In one of the
worst cases of eczema," etc., etc.,
doesn't it make you feel that this is
the treatment to rely on for your skin
trouble?
The moment Resinoi Ointment
touches itching skins. the itching
usually stops and healing begins. With
the aid of Resinoi .Soap, it almost al
ways dears away every trace of ecze
ma. ringworm, pimples, or other dis
tressing eruplion quickly, leaving the
skin clear and healthy. Sold by all

•mlfe of many days came to her lips.
Kemp rose and said good-by. With
his hat pulled well over his brows and
his hands In bis pockets, be slouched
toward the pate.
Alix jumped up and followed him.
She laid her thin, light hand on his
arm. "Thank jrou," she said, a little
breathlessly. Kemp's deep-set eyes
twinkled down on her. He held out
his big, rough hand and Alix gripped
It.
"Not good-by," she said.
Maple House wns riding the crest of
a happy wave. In it body it advanced
on the lake to picnic and supper by
moonlight and in a body it returned:
the little ones excited and wakeful, the
grown-ups lired and reminiscent. Days
followed that were filled with laziness
and nights that rang with song. The
cup of"life was filled to the brim with
little tilings. Sudden peals of unrea
soning laughter, shrieks of children at
play, a rumble of the piano followed
by a rollicking college song, ready
smiles on happy faces, broke like com
mas into the page of life, and turned
monotony into living phrases. But be
neath the gayety ran the inevitable un
dertone. When joy paused to take
breath it found Alan half aloof and
Clem wistful behind her unvarying
sweetness.
One evening Alan found himself
alone with Nance. She had frankly

Ago."
cornered him, then as openly led him
off down the road towards Elm House.
"Alan," she said, "you've turned Into
a great fool or a great coward. Which
Is It?"
Alan glanced at her. "What do you
mean?" he stammered.
"You know what I mean. Clem.
You're breaking her heart."
She felt Alan's arm stiffen. For a
moment he was silent, then he said:
"Don't worry, Nance. You're wrong,
of course, but, anyway, no harm is
going to come to Clem through me.
I'm going away. I've meant to go for
ever so lons, but somehow I couldn't.
Something seemed to ho!d me. I tried
to think it was just the Hill, and that
it would be all right for me to stay on
until the general break-up. But you
have wakened me tip, and the proof
that I nj not quite a coward yet is
that I'm going to get up and run."
3 hey came to the entrance to The
Elms, but Nance led him on down the
road. "Run? Why are you going to
run? Alan, don't you love her?"
A tremor went through Alan's body.
"I don't know," he said, "whether 1
love her or not. If I ever loved any
one before, then I don't love her. for
the thing that has come over me Is
new newer than anything: that has
ever happened to me. I would rather
see her come down from her room in
the morning than to have watched the
birth of Aphrodite, and yet I would
rather see myself damned, once and
for all, than touch the hem of her
frock."
"Why?"
"Because It Is not for me. Once
Alix called her glorious. I don't know
whether that was a hit of hyperbole
on her part or not. but to me she is
just that. There is a glory about
Clem—the glory of pure light. Do you
think I dare walk into it? Me, with
my scarred life, my blemished soul and
the moral rags that only half hide the
two? That would he cowardly. I'm
not coward enough for that."
Nance sighed. "I'm disappointed In
you. I thought that if ever man lived
that knew a little about women it
must be you. I won't say any of the
things I was going: to say. Instead. I
Just tell you that you don't
women."
