OF INTEREST T
A GIRL AND
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XV
<Copyright, 1916, Star Co.)
Mr. Bainbridge had been right, for
Agnes Morley had finished the three
long letters he had dictated and had
sent them back to him before William
Hale returned to his office.
"Any telephone calls?" her em
ployer queried.
"No, ?ir," she replied. "No calls
of any kind."
"Are you ready for work now?"
he asked, glancing over the mail
that had accumulated on his desk
since noon.
"Yes, sir."
He began dictation at once. When
he had finished his letters he asked
his secretary to rush them through
as soon as she could, as there were
several business documents he
wanted copied carefully.
So busy was Agnes Morley that
she had no time for reflection on
the incident that had taken place
between Mr. Bainbridge and herself.
She did not let her thoughts dwell
upon what she felt had been her
senseless attitude lest she might not
be able to concentrate on the task on
which she was engaged.
The documents to which her em
ployer had referred were very long,
and, as they were technical in
character, required care and appli
cation. It was almost 5 o'clock when
they were finished.
"I'm afraid I have been rather slow
about these," she apologized as she
laid them before Mr. Hale.
"They are not easy to copy," he
remarked briefly. "But," glancing
at them, "they seem well enough
done. Send word to Mr. Bainbridge
to come in here before he goes
home. I want to go over these
papers with him."»
"Yes, sir."
Opening the door, 6he looked
about for Joe. He was sitting in his
usual place near the outer entrance,
and came quickly forward at sight
of her beckoning finger.
She drew the office door shut be
hind her before delivering her mes
sage. One never knew what audi
ble comment the lad might make
to any order from one of the
stenographers.
A Message For Joe
"Joe," she said, "Mr. Hale wishes
you to tell Mr. Balnbridge that he
would like him to come into his office
before he goes home."
"All right," Joe grinned gleefully.
•-'I say, your game of bluff didn't
with old Balnbridge, did It? He
made you take his dictation after all,
didn't he?"
"Yes," the girl replied gravely,
"he did. And he was right. I had
no business to try to shirk any
work that came my way. I am paid
for my services, and they belong to
the firm."
Joe eyed her in astonishment.
"Well, I'll be durned!" he exclaimed
softly.
She only smUed and went back Into
the office.
A moment later Mr. Balnbridge
entered. He did not look toward
the girl seated on the other siae of
the room but drew a chair up be
side Mr. Hale, and the two men bent
over the documents just copied.

Frankly, there may be steenteen factors contributing at
one time or another to " engine trouble." But it's always
a safe bet that the greatest offender in the whole mili

PHILADELPHIA PITTS
TUESDAY EVENING, '
To occupy the time Agnes cleaned
the type of her machine and oiled
all the bearings thoroughly, then
wiped oft every part. After that
she stowed away in the drawers of
j her desk the pads, note books and
| pencils, first seeing that these last
I were sharpened and ready for to
; morrow's work. As she put the top
on her typewriter she heard her
employer speak. .
"What's this?" he asked. Then—
"Oh, yes, I see it's somdtfhing that
Miss Morley has been doing. Miss
Morley!" without lifting his head—
"Here's a sheet that you must have
picked up ■ inadvertently with the
papers you copied."
He held the paper out toward
her but did not look at her. Evi
dently in his estimation the matter
was not worth a second thought,
and he handed her the page as he
might have dropped it into the
waste basket at his feet, but she
felt the blood rush to her cheeks.
It was the paper on which she had
been pretending to work so furiously
when Bainbridge had asked her to
"help him out of a tight place."
An Amused Expression
Against her will she glanced in his
direction, and met his eyes squarely.
There was a shrewd yet amused ex
pression in them that made her blush
to the roots of her hair.
"I beg your pardon!" she mur
mured to Mr. Hale as she took the
typewritten page from his hand, and,
tearing it rapidly into bits, dropped
them into the basket by her ma
chine.
"It is five o'clock you may go
npw," her employer informed her a
moment later.
He had finished his inspection, of
the matter before him and rose to his
feet.
"I suppose you're through for the
day too aren't you, Balnbrldge?" he
asked his partner.
"Almost, but not quite," the other
man returned. "Miss Durkee was ill
this afternoon and had to go home,
and that delayed me somewhat. And
that reminds me. Hale," he con
tinued. "I took the liberty of ask
ing Miss Morley to take down two or
three rather important letters for me
while you were out. I thought you
would not mind."
"Mind! Of course not!" Mr. Hale
exclaimed. "That is, of course, un
less It interfered with her lunch
hour."
"Oh, no," Bainbridge returned,
"she had come back from lunch.
But she, very properly, hesitated,
lest you might not approve, or for fear
it might interfere with some work she
had on hand."
"It Interfered with no wdrk of
mine." Mr. Hale rejoined firmly.
"And. Miss Morley," as the girl
started from the room, "please re
member that when I am absent and
Mr. Bainbridge needs >*>ur services he
is quite right to send for you. Under
stand?"
"Yes. sir," she replied faintly. "I
understand."
Tet, as she left the building that
afternoon she wondered if she reallv
did understand anything except that
she had acted like a fool.

GRACEFUL SKIRT
WITH SHIRRINGS
Bind the Scalloped Flounces
With a Different Material
if You Desire
By MA Y MANTON
9X33 (With Basting Lint and Added
Seam Allowance) Gathered Skirt, 24
to 30 waist.
This is really a very charming, graceful
and attractive skirt and an exceptionally
becoming one, for while it gives the fash
ionable flounced effect and breadth, it
also gives long lines at the front and at
the back. It may be shirred to form a
girdle or it may be cut off and joined to a
belt. In whichever way it is treated, it
makes an exceedingly good effect. The
frill at the upper edge is a new finish and
a pretty finish when the skirt is to be
adjusted over the blouse. For wear with
a girdle, the skirt with the belt is of course
to be preferred. The flounces may be
made with scalloped or with straight edges.
For the medium size will be needed,
yards of material 27 inches wide, 6)4
yards 36 or sH yards 44. The width at
the lower edge is 4 yards.
The pattern No. 9133 is cut in sizes
frori> 24 to 30 inches waist measure. It
will be mailed to any address by the Fash
ion Department of this paper, on recciot
of ten cents.
MAN OF 80 BEST DANCER
Young Men Enable to Wrest County
Championship From Him
Oak Orchard, Del., Aug. 15. John
Tom Rogers, mote than eighty years
old, once more showed the young men
of Sussex county what it really means
to dance, when he easily wrested the
dancing championship for Sussex
county from all who attempted to
either show him new steps or tire him
out in the annual contest held every
year at Oak Orchard, on the Indian
Bay, for years.
Rogers has held the championship,
and, although he has raised sons who
have tried to wrest the honors from
him, he is still the master of them all..
HARRISBCRO TELEGRAPH
THEATRICAL PLANS
FOR THE SEASON
Wilmer and Vincent Announce
Bookings and Policy of Their
Playhouses
Wilmer & Vincent, who, since the
recent withdrawal of Nathan Appell,
are in sole possession of three of Har
risburg's theaters—the Orpheum, Ma
jestic and Colonial —to-day announced
their plans for the forthcoming sea
son.
The Majestic Theater will reopen
with Keith vaudeville next Monday.
There will be three shows a day,
the same as last season, and the
booking department of Wilmer &
Vincent has been busy for some time
lining up the acts. C. Floyd Hopkins,
who remains in Harrisburg as the
Wilmer & Vincent representative for
the coming season, said to-day that he
will soon be ready to announce a
handsome list o fheadliners for the
early Fall at the Majestic. He hopes
to start the season off with a bang,
and keep it going at good speed.
The Orpheum, which last season re
turned to its original policy of road
attractions, will continue with them.
The prospects are according to the
Wilmer & Vincent announcements
that the coming season will see more
big attractions at tho Orpheum than
Harrisburg has known in any one sea
son for some years. Basing its con
clusions on last season's success, Wil
mer & Vincent feel that the big show
is coming into its own again, and the
firm is losing no opportunity to list for
Harrisburg all of the first class offer
ings that present themselves for road
bookings.
While there will he a burlesque
show at the Orpheum on Thursday of
this week, the regular Orpheum sea
son will begin on Saturday, August
-6, with a new musical comedy "My
Home Town Girl." in which Hyams
and Mclntyre are featured. Kate
Elinore will be seen on August 30 in
the new Gus Hill musical comedy,
"My Aunt From Utah." On September
o. Al. H. Wilson will appear in an
Irish romance, with music, "My Kill
arney Rose." Others of the better
grade of attractions listed so far in
clude; "Katinka," the widely herald
™ Hammerstein musical comedy;
"Fair and Warmer," which is now
and has for a long time been play
ing at the Fulton Theater, New York;
"Watch Your Step," the big Winter
garden review; "Common Clay," one
of New York's biggest dramatic suc
cesses of the past season; "Lady Lux
ury"; "Hit the Trail Holoday," the
George Cohan comedy "The House
of Glass"; "The Merry Wives of
Windsor"; "The Million Dollar Doll";
£ "Very Good Eddie";
David W arfield; Mrs. Fiske in a return
engagement in "Erstwhile Susan" and
Axitzi Hajos in the sensational musical
comedy hit "Pom Pom." Howe's pic
tures are dated for early in October.
The American wheel burlesque at
tractions will be presented each
Thursday.

the Bethlehem Steel Company in en
larging its plant here. Extensions are
being made at the rate of 11,000,000
a month, and the consequent enlarg

now reached nearly 30,000 men,
practically double the working force
two years ago, has given a great im

Bethlehems, the contiguous boroughs

Heilertown, Freemansburg and North

To-day it is estimated that several
million dollars are being spent in
erect ng new homes and business
buildings, and even then the demand
for houses for workmen is growing
faster than it is possible to erect them.
Real estate men say if they had 2 000

could fill them in a week or two. Out

Tom Taggart Not Backward
in Telling Senate Failings
Washington, Aug. 14. Tom Tag
gart, practical businessman and politi
cian, told the Senate after a member
ship of but a few weeks, just what he
thought of It. Though giving it full
credit for passage of legislation favor
ed by President Wilson, he rapped
its failure to attain business economy,
muckraked its rivers and harbors
and public buildings bill as "pork
measures and declared for a budget
system of national appropriations.
Old-time Senators stared at the re
sumption of a newcomer tearing
strenuously into fixed Congressional
habits. Many of them left their seats
But none interrupted.
Instead of squandering money in
catching cattle ticks, killing coyotes
poisoning ground squirrels, doctoring
Vild ducks, treating goats suffering
from Malta fever, sending out onion
seeds to folks who want a front gar
den and petunia seeds to folks who
want carrots and turnips, let's get
down to bed rock economy,' said Tag
gart.
"Or if Congress has a fixed and de
termined purpose to increase appro
priations, wouldn't it be better to ap
ply this money to helping farmers get
intensive agriculture training or city
boys to learn good mechanical trades?"
Senator Taggart read a list of towns
where public building appropriations
authorized in a bill now pending
averaged from $12.12 to $14.55 for
each inhabitant. He said $20,000,000
too much was appropriated this year
for rivers and harbors. He declared
for these things, among others:
Tariff commission, dyestuffa tariff.
United States aid to State roads, mer
chant marine, developing South Am
erican trade, flood control on the in
land rivers, preparedness, a Govern
ment nitrate plant and a bond Issue to
help pay for preparedness.
ANOTHER S3 ADDED TO THE
FUND FOR SOLDIERS* RELIEF
Another $3 contribution was re
ceived to-day by the .Telegraph for
the Soldiers' Relief Fund.
The contributor declined to permit
her name to be printed. She asked

Capt. Koenig's Wife Is
Loyal to Great Britain
London, Aug. 15. The Daily Mall
says that Captain Koenig, of the
Deutschland, was married some fifteen
years ago in Winchester to an English
woman, who now resides in a London
suburb. She was staying In Bremer
haven when the war broke out. Al
though practically the only English
woman In an Important German naval
port, Mrs. Koenig is unwavering in
her patriotism. She said yesterday:
"Although X might technically be a
German by marriage I am English
through and through, and when I said
to my husband, 'You do not expect
me to take sides against my own coun

times. You would not be worth your
