OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
A GIRL AND
A New and Vital Rpmance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER VIII
Copyright, 1916, Star Company.
Randolph Pickens paused on the
landing before Miss Morley's flat, pant
ing from his upward climb and the
sudden vision of Agnes, standing wait
ing for him.
"Oh." the girl said, vaguely, "Is It
you lam glad to see you," she added,
as an afterthought. "Won't you come
right In?"
For a moment her late Instructor in
the arts of stenography and typewrit
ing appeared to debate about this invi
tation. Perhaps he detectad Its per
functory tone. Drawing from his
breast pocket a handkerchief, he
mopped his palo brow energetically.
The handkerchief was large in size,
pink in color, silk in texture. He re
placed It carefully, so that a generous
corner protruded above the top of his
pocket, then advanced and shook Ag
nes' outstretched hand.
"If It will not be an Intrusion, Miss
Morley," he said with an air of dig
nity, "I shall be pleased to accept."
"Certainly, come in," the girl re
peated, as, suppressing a smile of
amusement, she stood aside and mo
tioned to him to enter.
"Let me take your hat," she sug
gested as he paused in the hallway and
looked about him.
Randolph Pickens handed his
"Panama"—that Is what the clerk in
the hat store assured him It was —to
her In whose honor ho had purchased
It, and Agnes, his hat In her hand, led
the way into the little parlor, where
she turned up the gas, laid the Panama
on the table and pushed a chair for
ward for her guest.
"Sit down." she urged. "It is kind
of you to call eo soon, Mr. Pickens."
"Oh, don't mention it," the man re
joined, seating himself. "As my pupil.
Miss Morley," he continued, with the
air of one reciting a carefully pre
pared speech, "your proficiency aroused
in me the greatest interest. Now that
you have at last ventured Into the
marts of trade, it Is no less a part of
my pedagogical duty to learn for my
self what benefit you have derived
from my instruction."
Agnes Is Amused
>are very kind, Mr. Pickens,"
Agnes reiterated, trying again to check
a smile of amusement
"Oh, not at all," he assured her,
clasping and unclasping his bony
hands about one skinny knee —his
light eyes blinking solemnly at the
gaslight.
"My aunt will be glad to see you,
too." The girl tried to break a silence
that thr»*sAi)g<i to be awkward.
tne cSosc« . o at the
back of the room someone was mov
ing cautiously, and Agnes spoke to this
unseen person:
"Aunt Lucy, won't you please come
into the parlor?"
There was a certain arch tone which
Miss Morley used only when Philip
Hale was visiting her niece. The
elderly spinster always regarded the
lad as a charming suitor for Agnes'
hand, and her speech when he was
present proclaimed her attitude.
In the past this had embarrassed i
the girl intensely, but she had never 1

FRIDAY EVENING,
been able to explain to her kind rela
tive that she disliked it.
"Oh, aunt Lucy," she called again,
"come in, please!"
The answer came from behind the
portieres where Miss Lucy lingered in
the fond conviction that the unseen
guest was her favorite, Philip Hale.
"No!*' she replied. Her tone con
veyed gentle raillery. "You two dear
children have lets of things to say to
each other, I am sure, and it would
only bore both of you if an old woman
came in now."
Mr. Pickens looked about him. star
tled, but when he turned his puzzled
gaze to where Agnes had just been she
was gone. The curtains still trembled
from her swift passage between them,
and from the Interior back of them
came the sound of whisperings.
"Please hush," Agnes was hissing in
her aunt's ear. "Do you know who's
in the parlor?"
"Philip Hale, of course," Miss Mor
ley replied.
A Little Correction
"Well, it isn't!" the girl exclaimed.
"It would have been bad enough if it
was. But it is Mr. Pickens, a teacher
in the school, about whom you made
that remark just now. He Is a horrid
person," she added, more to reprove
her aunt than from any actual dislike
of her caller.
Seated on the side of her bed. Miss
Morley gazed at her niece with mild,
shocked eyes.
"Oh, my goodness gracious!" she
gasped. "What have I done?"
"You've got to come in and meet
him now," Agnes annouced sternly.
"And please do tell him that you
thought it was a friend of mine call
ing. He'll think you mean a girl
friend—at least I hope he will."
Without waiting for further demur
Agnes led her aunt Into the parlor.
"I was about to retire." the older
woman explained nervously after Mr.
Pickens had risen and acknowledged
Agnes' introduction. "I did not un
derstand that my little girl had a gen
tleman caller. She tells me you were
one of her teachers at school."
"I am a professor of stenography
and typewriting at the business col
lege," Mr. Pickens corrected her.
"Mr. Pickens was very kind to me
when I was at the school.'' the girl in
terposed. "Ho called this evening to
see how I was getting on with my new
position."
"And to say that I trust you have
benefited by my instruction," Mr. Pick
ens amended.
"Yes, indeed," Agnes assured him.
"I have."
"I am glad," he said, timidly, "If
that is so. It's—lt's been a real pleas
ure to teach you. It seems quite
different there now that you've gone."
A bell whirred sharply and Miss
Lucv rose. "It must be the postman,"
she muttered.
Does your new work tire you
much?" the caller asked, sympa
thetically.
"Oh, not much," Agnes replied. "Of
course, at first"—then she paused, as
she heard a step in the hall.
A moment later Philip Hale entered
the room.
COMFY ROMPERS
STRONG AND NICE
Just the Thing For Playtime or
in Daintier Materials For
All the Day
By MAY MANTON
9068 (With Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance ) Child,a Rompers, 2,
4 and 6 years.
Children's happiness is bo often induced
by simple things and nothing could con
| tribute to it more perfectly than rompers
such as these. They are comfortable.
I they entail no anxiety as to possible soil
or wear and tear and they leave the little
wearer free to play and to dig and enjoy
life generally. In the picture, they are
made of a dotted linen with trimming of
plain color but all the simple washable
materials are appropriate. Gingham,
chambray, percale, galatea and the
thinner dimity and lawn for really warm
days. Many mothers use rompers ex
clusively for the little boys and in such
case they are made of daintier materials
for afternoon wear. White dimity or
white Habuiai silk smocked and trimmed
with blue m>uld be very charming for
such use.
For the 4 year size will be needed, 3
vards of material 27 inches wide, **/%
yards 36 or 1 7 4 yards 44 with % yard
}6 inches wide for the trimming.
The pattern No. 9088 is cut in sizes for
:hildren from 2to 6 years of aee. It will
3e mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt of

"I knew It!" cried Mary, hysterically.
"He must have placed that necklace or

"That is a very serious charge," saif'

Tne captain hesitated, 7>ut yielded, In

turned the Jewels to Mona. and she
held them as she went with the purser
to the room of Mr. X. He knelt by
the safe; just as she heard the tum
blers fall at the opening, Mona cried
out:
"Someone is coming—Mr. Armstrong,
I'm afraid!"
Shelley ruehed to the door, and
peered out. In a moment Mona reached
the safe, drew out a package of papers
and threw in the Jewels And when
the purser came back only the jewels
were in the safe! His delight knew no

the good news to Mary. And Mona, at

Incalculable injury to the United States:
The captain was profuse in his apol
ogies to Mary. And she assailed Mr.
X., for whom a steward had been sent,
with the uttermost bitterness.
"This Is—madness!'' he burst out
angrily. "To accuse :r>« t! t crime—of
a vulgar theft! You say the Jewels
were placed in my safe! I will dis
prove that by opening It before your
eyes!"
"It has been opened already, sir,"
said the captain. "The Jewels were
found!"
"By whom?" asked Mr X., his face
pale.
"By my purser, sir—and by this lady,
one of your intended victims!"
And then, as he looited at Mona, a
look of understanding came into the
spy's eye. There was hatred in his
eyes, too—but he knew that he was

to expose himself anew.
"Unless the victims of your intended
crime insist. I shall not cause your ar

Austin Dam Flood Case
Charge Is Dismissed
Philadelphia, July 22.—Memories of ,
the Austin flood, in which three
women were drowned and many thou- j
sands of dollars of property were de
stroyed, were revived yesterday, when
the Superior Court, by a decree of
Judge Orlady, sitting in this city, re
leased George C. Hayiiss, owner of;
the Bayliss Pulp and Paper Company, !
whose dam broke September 30, 1911,!
from the custody of the sheriff, who j
has had him in charge since Septem- j
ber 29 lust.
After the bursting of the dam Bay- I
liss and F. W. Hamlin, superintendent '
of the mill, were indicted on charges
of manslaughter in causing the death
of two of the three women, Mrs. Eva
A. Gleaspey and Mrs. Julia A. Swart- '
wood. Because of the feeling that »
existed in Potter county a change of
venue was granted the defendants and i
the trial was held in Tioga county. !
The men were acquitted December;

Law Helps Kissing Woman
to Win Back Her Husband
Pottsville, July 21. The fact that i
Mrs. Alexander Stangling, of Buck
Run, allowed a good looking young
boarder to kiss her led to a lawsuit be-1
fore Alderman P. J. Martin, of this I
city yesterday.
Alexander objected to his wife al
lowing anybody but himself to kiss her
| and chased her out of his house. She!
brought suit. The alderman decided
that Mrs. Stangling must stop kissing
j boarders, that the good-looking board
er must leave, and that Alexander!
; should behave peaceably toward his;
[wife and must pay the costs.
Train Ends Man's Life;
Under Wheels 40 Minutes
I Altoona, Pa., July 21. John C.
Eberle, 69, a Pennsylvania Railroad
j shophand in the car shops, was killed
! yesterday when he was struck by a
j yard engine.
The locomotive was backing when it
caught him, and he was rolled under
the wheels of the tender.
His body was so securely wedged in
the wheels that the wrecking crew was
called. He was alive during the forty
minutes it took to release his body.
He died on the way to the hospital.
In the Treatment
of Tuberculosis
! remember that first aid to relief is |
found in abundance of fresh air—day '
and night—freedom from over-exer- i
tion, and pure food.
Attention to these matters should do j
much to arrest the progress of the
malady, but in many cases there is need
for extra help. Where Nature has to
work with a weakened body her power
is limited.
t'nder such circumstances, try Bck- |
man's Alterative, which has been used 1
with large benefit by many sufferers.
In numerous cases it has helped to
bring about recovery. Also, it lias been
successful in treating asthma and ]
bronchial troubles,
j And since it contains no opiates, nar-
I cotics or habit-forming drugs, its use j
is not attended with danger. At your
druggist's.
