12 WOMEN'S INTERESTS A GIRL AND A MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van 6e Water CHAPTER XI Copyright, ISI6. Star Company. At 5.30 on the second morning of her occupancy of her new position Agnes Morley was elbowing her way! out of the packet subway train at j Fulton street. She had awakened early and had | lain wide-eyed for a time thinking of ' Phil, then, finding that sleep had de serted her permanently, she had arisen and helped her protesting aunt in the preparation of breakfast. "But, dear child." Miss Lucy Morley had objected, "there was no need of | your getting up so early. You told me that you do not have to be down town until 9 o'clock." "I know." Agnes admitted, mean while beating energetically the eggs fro an omelet, "but 1 am going to try to get down early for the first few weeks at least. I am only a beginner, and I am sure it will make a good; impression if I am always on time." As she joined the throng climbing the subway stairs to the street the girl thrilled a little, thinking for the hundredth time that she was at last i self-supporting. All about her were workers —gray- haired men, slim, hurrying youths, women of almost every type and age— a detachment of the workers of a great city, all a part of the vast army of fighters for a decent living. "And I am or.e of the huge hash!" Agnes rejected exultantly as. reaching the street, she turned toward the tall building where Hale & Bainbridge had their offices. The elevator which bore her aloft also carried the red-haired lad who acted as guardian of the outer gate in the firm's offices. He grinned and nodded as he met her eyes. "You're kinder early, ain't you?" he commented. "Not so very early," the girl told him. "It is twenty minutes of nine now." "Huh!" he snorted. "You'll get over i that early habit quick enough. The crew in this place never shows up till just five minutes before nine. We all : know that the big boss gets here at five minutes to nine, sharp. I don't guess he's varied 9 minute in a year. • The rest of th 2 gang gets here before he does. They shave it as close as they can." A Reason for It "But you," Agnes reminded him, ' "are pretty early yourself." "I got to be." he said mournfully, i "I open the windows, and tear off the 1 calendars, and put fresh bottles in the 1 drinking fountains, and do a dozen 1 jobs before the rest of the push gets hede. Gee! If I could have slept fif- i teen minutes longer this mornin' like : you could a done. I wouldn't be here now—believe me!" ! The girl only smiled in reply and j 1 followed him intc the office. She had 1 divested herself of her hat and coat. < and .after opening her machine and getting her papers and pencils ready, had returned to the outer office, when < Annie Rooney entered. t "For goodness sake, kid!" the new 1 arrival exclaimed after returning Ag nes' "Good morning!" cordially, "what 1 you doing here so long ahead of time* 1 Did you stick around here all night?" 1 Agnes explained again, and Annie listened the while she bestowed-sundry 1 pats to her much-dressed hair as she 1 stood before a tiny mirror near the ! cloak closet.

"Say. how do you like my coiffure " she de manded. giving what Agnes had heard termed "a strictly made in the U. S. A. pronunciation" to the final word. "A lady friend of mine who works in a manicuring and hairdressing emporium showed me how to dc it." "it is very elaborate." Agnes an swered vaguely, surveying the high piled mass of glistening hair that graced Miss Rooncy's head. "X say—don't get so enthusiastic!" the other advised with a laugh. "You might hurt yourself. But let me tell you, if you'd fix your hair that way you'd be some cli-ss. For you're mighty good looking, ir. spite of your plain way of dressing." Before .\gnes could reply the door of the office opened and the other mem bers of the force came hurrying; in. Agnes watched them. as. after remov ing hats and coats, they seated them selves at their various desks and type writers. A Gav Co-worker One of the clerks, a slim, light haired youth, chucked Annie Rooney under her rounded chin as he passed. "Hello, baby-doll!" he greeted her joyously. "l*p early this morning, as usual, eh? Haven't you got a kiss for papa?" "Oh, you go on. Larry Briggs!" An nie warned, slapping ineffectively at his outstretched hand. "Ain't he the limit?" she said to Agnes after the lad had gone on. "But 1 don't really mind him." she hastened to explain in reply to the look of dis approval on the other girl's face. "He's only a kid. and he just teases, that's all. He is different from some of the others higher up ii. the world than he is." "Mr. Bainbridge. you mean?" Agnes asked the question impul sively, then was suddenly frightened at her indiscretion. For a moment Miss Rooney re garded her in surprise. "So," that young lady then remarked slowly, "you have sized him up already, have you?" "I think perhaps 1 have," Agnes admitted with some timidity. "But of course I do not know anything about him That was only a fancy of mine." "He is a holy terror," the Irish girl said confidently, sinking her voice to a whisper. "He's never bothered me. It's good for him that he hasn't. I'd poke him one as quick as a wink. But once he takes a shine to a girl—good night: You wouldn't think it of him, either—the old sinner." "But if he annoys a girl, why doesn't she complain to Mr. Hale?" Agnes asked. "Most of them are scared of him, for one thing." Annie replied. "What good would it do? Old Bainbridge would say the g ! rl lied, and she'd be out of a job. Here he comes now!" As she spoke the rotund form of Mr. Bainbridge appeared in the outer doorway. He was clad in a Spring suit of light gray and carried a bunch of flowers in his hand. "I wonder who gets the flowers this time," Annie muttered, pretending to busy herself with her typewriter as the man approached. A vague, intuitive spasm of dread ran through Agnes' frame, and. with out a backward glance, she hurried into the inner office. She hoped that Mr. Hale would come in promptly this morning. !

As Mona nodded curiously, the man itepped back tc the teakwood tab'.e In :he rear of the room, and clapped hi» fiands to summon his serv ant. The two conferred together in whispers for a noment. and then the servant van ished, to reappear a moment later with i small wax image which he depostted lolemnly in the center of the table. "Watch!" said the Hindoo gravely, and proceeded to make a series of weird passes directly above the image. For a moment nothing happened, and then .Mona gave a low gasp. The .mage was elow'.y vanishing t<efore her >yes—vanishing as completely as though it were aotually dissolving- Into '.hit; air. Mona Visits the Hindoo Faker. "That is the way I shall treat How ard Wallace," 6a'.d Had] Kulu gravely. "He shall vanish as completely as the Image you saw disappear into thin air! He shall know what it is to mistreat one so lovely and innocent as your Charming se'.f!" Mona colored, and dropped her eyes. "When shall I come again?" she asked. "As early as you wish." Mona gave her address, seeing no reason why she should conceal it. and the man bowed her solemnly out. On the whole, she was very well satisfied with the impression she had made, and her eyes were shining when she re turned to the flat, and tcld the others of what had happened. Tha theft of the Wallace safe was discovered sooner than the girl ex pected, and as happened she was present at the Wallace home when the situation was divulged. True to her -agreement with Mrs. Wallace she called for her appointment as hair . dresser, and was shown to the boudoir. When Mary finally stepped back, leav ing the to study the effect of her work, site drew a deep sigh of relief. Mrs. Wallace showed no signs of displeasure at the result. In fact, she was about to express her approbation when suddenly the entrance of the maid interrupted. 'Mr. Iladj Rulu is in the library," she announced. Again Mrs. Wallace stiffened, an® I Mary saw her hands clench, as though In an effort to control her nervousness. Then, as before, she rose abruptly from her chair, and left the room. Mary wa6 following when the street door opened, and there stepnel into t' - hall a man, whose ovement cried Out that he was a plainclothes detec tive. The girl paused. watching breathlessly as he also made his way to the library. Would the presence of the Hindoo be discovered, and if! so, what -would be the result? It was quite evident that Hadj Rulu did not care to have his presence advertised. I The reason for the detective's pres- ! ence was explained by his first words. "Mr. Wallace reports that he has been robbed, and that so far as he knows no person in this house knew of the combination of his safe, where the money was placed, except himself. It looks like an -inside job,' Mrs. Wallace. What do you think?"! "I arn sure the servants are lnno- , cent:" said Mrs. Wallace quickly. "I would stake my life on them." "That is generally the kind who will 1 bear watching," satd the detectiva cynically. "Who is the girl who has charge of the cleaning and dusting of this room?" "That is Hattle. one of our younger maids, who has been with us all her life." answered Mrs. Wallace. The detective surveyed the maid au- ! thoritatively and literally barked his questions at her, as though priding' himself on the f»ar and repulsion! which the girl exhibited "What did you do with the combina tion of that safe?" he demanded. "We know you took it—we know you took It from the red book there on the top shelf, where you watched Mr. Wallace hide it! Now, give us the truth! Xo lies!" The maid cowered back, ready to burst into tears, and Mrs. Wallace laid i a hand encouragingly on her shoulder. I The detective scoft-led at the gesture, and renewed his cross-examination. And then suddenly Mary saw a hand steal out from the curtains of the op posite doorway, behind which she knew I the Hindoo was concealed—a Uan, brown hand, and in its fnjters was the paper, bearing the fatal combination, the paper which Mrs. Wallace obedient ly had delivered to her master in the I trance. The next Instant the paper I was dropped into an apron pocket of j the weeping Hattia, with the action unseen except by the watching girl in i the hall. If the detective insisted now on a i search what would be tha resultl Evidently the officer had been disap pointed in the result of Irs fusillade of j questions, for suddenly he dismissed the erirl, with no attempt to search her. I Mary had just time to dart to ths: stairs when Haitie appeared in the hall, weeping, and followed to thu up per floor behind her Mary thought swiftly. If the Hindoo | had succeeded in -slipping the combi nation 'nto the girl's pocket, whj i should she ndt succeed in slipping il | out of tire pocket? On the sudden thought she called the maid to her \ and under tile pretence of asking het I some questions as to the best hour te call on Mrs. Wallace in future, sh« I managed to reach ."ler pocket, and fas ten her fingers on the tell-tale paper.

Harrisburg Railways Company DIXON WARNS ALL OF WATER DANGER Pollution Is So General That People Are Liable to Be Made 111 by Streams The Importance of knowing what j ! water we drink is urged by Dr. Samuel i i G. Dixon, the State Commissioner of Health, in a interview. Dr. i Dixon says that the streams which i used to furnish such excellent supplies' t of water are now so polluted by care- i less people that they are apt to be | dangerous. The commissioner says: i Our streams once undefiled by man i ran from the mountains to the sea in all of Nature's purity. They ran ! through our valleys and meadows in j all their pristine beauty and offered to jail animate nature that which would | innocently quench the thirst of man and beast and help them live. To-day it is not so. Man relentlessly, regard less of his brother down stream, now throws his waste and that of domestic animals into the waters flowing near est his home. In that with which Nature has en dowed much of our territory more , richly than many other countries, we now find lurking poison has been hid den, in some cases only to be seen by the aid of the microscope. ! Now is the season when we travel | through the country to be happy and j lay up energy and strength for the | toil of the coming winter. Alas! The j want of intelligence and care makes ; us deaf to the teaching of preventive | medicine and we quench our thirst at i the stream we run across regardless of ! its purity, and often the sparkling turn i oler of water is only to be compared with the draught of the deadly hem lock. The parched lips have been moistened and the thirst satisfied, but the day of judgment too often comes bringing the development of typhoid fever, which in years past we could only compare with some of the plagues chat ravaged cur ancient cities. Those of us who collect, tabulate, i and have ever before us the statistics that show the suffering and sorrow that still continue from typhoid fever, beg you to awaken to that which caus es so much distress. By proper care it can be avoided. Never drink out of an unknown sur face stream. When traveling see that pure water is carried along as well as food, otherwise the harvest of sickness and death will foijow and defeat the object of summer vacations.

Dixon, State Commissioner of Health. Dr. Dixon has been making a series of investi gations and says: "Even should the process of making and baking of bread be sanitary, the loaves are often far from being clean when they reach the consumer. It is frequently loaded into containers for the delivery wagon by hands that have Just swept the stable, curried and har nessed the horse.
