14 WOMEN'S INTERESTS A GIRL AND A MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XX ATI I. (Copyright, 1916, Star •Company) It was nearly 6 o'clock on the after noon pf her talk with Mr. Bainbridge that Agnes Morley, stepping from the express at the Ninety-sixth street sub way, almost ran into a man who was about to board the train she had just left. He stopped at sight of her. "Oh, Miss Morley!" he exclaimed. "Good evening. This is a remarkable coincidence, for I just thinking of you." Agnes came out of her own thoughts ■with a start. "Why, Mr. Pickens, good afternoon!" she returned. "I did not see you until you spoke." "I was aware that you did not," he rejoined. "Although strict etiquette would forbid my addressing you be fore you recognized me, yet my pleas ure at seeing you made me set aside convention for the nonce." "You were taking this train, were you not?" Agnes suggested as a warn ing bell rang. "I was about to take It to my home uptown in the Bronx," he acknowl edged. "But I do not mind waiting over another train, if you do not ob ect to stopping for just a moment to speak to me?" "Certainly I do not mind," Agnes said, moving to one side to be out of the way of the stream of passengers coming and going. "This is not a very agreeable place for a lady to linger in," Randolph Pickens said. "So I will only detain you long enough to ask if I may call soon. As I remarked just now, it was a remarkable coincidence that I was meditating on that very subject when I met you. I was wendering if I might be so fortunate as to have the opportunity of asking your permission to call again—when you will be dis engaged." "Certainly you may come," Agnes said. She tried not to remember how this man's conversation bored her. She was sorry for him, yet a certain air of elation about him to-day detracted somewhat from his usually melancholy manner. He Asks to Come "Have you an engagement for to morrow night?" he queried. "No. I have none," Agnes rejoined. "Then I may crave the indulgence of your permission to pay my re spects at that time?" "You will be very welcome," Agnes assured him. "Many thanks," he said formally, bowing over her hand. She noticed that he had stood with uncovered head during the entire conversation. At all events, even if he was a bore, he had good manners, she decided. "This Is your train in now," she re marksd. "And I must be going. Good afternoon!" She repeated the conversation to her aunt as the two sat over their coffee after dinner that night "He is such a funny chap," Agnes observed. "But he means well,—even if he is queer." "Dear," Miss Lucy ventured timidly, 'your speaking of his calling to-mor- WANT ACTION TO AVERT BIG STRIKE Union Leaders Believe Sympa thetic Walkout Will Be Stopped New York, Sept. 15. Although union leaders have virtually abandoned hope that Mayor Mitchel and the Pub lic Service Commission may bring about an amicable adjustment of the difference between the striking street j railway men and their employes, the j belief was strong in official circles to- I day that some action would be taken within the next twenty-four hours to avert the threatened sympathetic strike of 70,000 trade unionists.

Governor in Letter Boosts William Penn Highway Harrisburg, Sept. 15. During his agricultural tours of Pennsylvania, Gov. Martin G. Brumbaugh is pass ing over portions of the William Penn Highway four times. The Governor Is one of the strongest boosters' for this market and post road; and in a ! letter to M. H. James, William Penn secretary, the State-s chief executive coins an alliterative phrase descrip tive of the route from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. He refers to its "matchless miles of scenic splendors." The Governor's letter relative to the William Penn Highway is as fol lows: "The William Penn Highway, con necting at least 12 county seats with the Capital and metropolitan cities of the Commonwealth, is to my mind one of the great highways of America. "It is almost a gravity road west ward in the heart of the State. Its scenic beauty is unmatched. Its easy grades make it the great market road of the State. "It trends westward through such a wealth of historic scenes that in due time, when suitably marked, the trav eler will be able to read on its sides | the story of pioneer conquest over natural barriers and savage tribes. | "There is not an uninteresting mile from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. The Commonwealth at large is interested in the route. Its radial lines will tie it to the Lincoln Highway on the south ai>d with another great trunk line on the north. "I have seen many roads and have gone over most of the scenic routes of the country; ana to me the most entrancingly beautiful of all is the road through the heart of our great eastern farm section; up the blue Juniata, famous In song and story; over the crested Alleghenies, from the ; reaches of the Conemaugh, and on to I [ the great city of the western part of | the State. "I hope to see it made so attractive ! that thousands annually will come I from without to share with us its many matchless miles of scenic splen dor." HUGHES SIE.\DS DAY ALOXE Bridgehamton, N. Y., Sept. 15. Charles E. Hughes, Republican candi date for president, who is resting at his summer home here, passed to-day indoors going over with his secretary a mass of accumulated correspondence. He announced that he would issue no statement to-day and no visitors were received Popular Pennsy Conductor Relieved of Nagging Pains Sam Conrad, Well-known Conductor on P. R. R., Tells How Tanlac Rid Him of Long Standing Malady. Sam Conrad, the popular P. R. R. conductor who lives at 608 Maclay street, Harrisburg, expresses gratitude to the master medicine when he says: "I had suffered for a good many years with a sluggish liver and the other complaints that naturally follow when some part of your engine isn't work ing right. "I had a constant nagging headache, there was always a dull pain In my lower bowels. I had no appetite and didn't sleep worth a cent. In fact I was so run down and felt so miser able that I didn't take any interest In anything and Just went about my work in a mechanical sort of a way. "I knew that there must be some thing seriously wrong with me but doctoring didn't seem to hit the spot. At least the medicine I took didn't make me feel any better and I was getting mighty discouraged I can tell you. "Then I began to read about Tan lac In the papers and I got interested In the testimonials of people that it had helped. So said I to myself, 'l'll try it, maybe it will help me.' And it did. | "It cleaned up that headache In a few days, It brought back such an ap petite as I haven't had since I was a boy, and it rid me of all those nag ging pains. I feel as if I had been overhauled and just come out of the shop good as new. I make my run in good shape and I take an interest in what's going on. Tanlac is a great medicine and I'm going to recommend It every chance I get." Tanlac, the master medicine that ! did so m"uch for Conductor Conrad, Is i now being specially Introduced in Har risburg at Gorgas' Drug Store, wherd , the Tanlac man Is kept busy explain ing the merits of this famous recon- I structive tonic, to daily increasing 1 crowds. —Advertisement, HARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH How Would Yon Like This in Your Bed Tonight "y*- ~ N .~ " wf* ' • • F - ■ / ,M >,;■*. w Ui? ~ '-* > M • .- J*. <,■<* I '.' / ■ <*■#%/< - m C'< Iw^il _ ■ ■ ' ■.■■■■ - ■ ■■■ ■ ■ . . ■-■■:-■■- i When you've read further you'll discover that after all. you really weren't dreaming when you first glanced at this etching.

The Democrats en acted the bill. Railroad officials received yesterday a circular issued in Cleveland by War ren S. Stone, grand chief of the engi neers, to members, which says: "You will receive in the near future a printed report of the public hearing before the Senate committee on the eight-hour bill. We have also ar ranged for a reprint from the Con gressional Record of September 1 and 2 of all the speeches made in both the House and Senate by our friends andi enemies for and against the enactment of the law. "We do this, not in the Interests of any political party, but in order that you may have the true facts In the case. We believe the time has ar rived when labor should know who is friendly to its interests and who is not. Important legislation will take place at the next session of Congress. It is important to you that men be elected who are friendly to you." It was said that similar circulars have been sent to conductors, trainmen and locomotive firemen and engine men. Several railroad executives who are bitter against President Wilson be cause of the eight-hour law said the action of Grand Chief Stone showed that the Democrat swere about to reap the benefit of the President's action. While the railroad attorneys are try ing to figure out the exact application of the eight-hour law, it is evident also that the brotherhoods are not sure just what it means. In his circular issued on September 11 Mr. Stone said: "We would advise all general chair men and committees to wait a while before taking up the question of Its application to their present schedule. Time works wonders. Give the other side a chance to- cool off and their ragged nerves a chance to heal before taking up the question." In an effort to prevent friction, A. B. Garretson, of the conductors, and the other brotherhood heads have sent to all their men a letter in which it is said: "We will not attempt to comment on the future as to the application of this law other than to advise that it is our belief, based on the opinion of learned counsel, together with the opinion of several United States Senators and Congressmen, tha't the law will estab lish the basic eight-hour work day principles for all employes handling or connected with the operation of trains doing Inter-State business. The law unquestionably applies to all employes, regardless of color, for roads not spe cifically excepted."

THIEVES CAPTURE PINT SOUR MILK Alfred Johnston Knocks Down One Man, Who Offers Quar ter For Release Residents of Riverside are once again on their tiptoes as the result of an attempted raid on the refrigerator of Thomas H. Johnston's home, 3020 North Second street, last evening about 8.15 o'clock. One of two men, both of whom were said to be considerably under the in fluence of liquor, and who gave their names to the police as Elijah Hoover and Harry Hale, aged 4 5 and 3 4 years, respectively, attempted to enter the Johnston home from the rear, but was discovered and captured by Alfred Johnston, son of T. H. Johnston, who, with the assistance of Headmaster Ar thur E. Brown, of the Harrisburg Academy, and others held the two and turned them over to the police. Young Johnston was working in the rear of his home, which is several hundred yards above the Academy, when he heard a noise on the rear porch. He immediately went out and gave chase to the thief, who was almost twice his size. Half way to the Academy the chase ended when pur suer knocked pursued to the ground and recovered a pint bottle of sour milk and a bunch of bananas that was the sum total of the booty gained. Mr. Johnston lost his bedroom slippers in the chase. The thief didn't show any fight at all, but according to Mr. Johnston volunteered humbly to give his captor a quarter if he would allow him to escape. His torn vest and shirt gave him a sad appearance, but by this time a number of men came up and Mr. Brown telephoned for Chief of Po lice Wetzel, Superintendent of Detect ives Windsor and Motorcycle Officer Fetrow. One of the men had remained with the wagon in which the two were evi dently working, for it was loaded with cantaloupes and cabbages, which they had presumably stolen from patches along the river and Second street. Mr. Brown and H. E. Smith, an instructor at the Academy, guarded the driver till the arrival of the officers. Hoover made several attempts to escape, but was each time recaptured and finally tied fast.

JUMPS FROM TRAIN TO AVOID ARREST Trying to avoid arrest, an unidenti fied man jumped from the window of a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train near Rockvllle yesterday and es caped over the surrounding hills. The man boarded the. train between Al toona and Rockvllle and became dis orderly. A dispatch was sent to this city for railroad officers to meet the train and arrest him. As the engine whistled for Rockvllle the man jumped from the window and escaped. NUXATED IRON rSBDmn Increases strength ot delicate, nervous, bjj rfly J TJTII rundown people KB I □ I I Per cent.

If only every woman and likewise every man could realize the wonders of the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls with pasty or muddy complex ions; Instead of the multitudes of "nerve wrecks," "rundowns," "brain fags" and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosy cheeked people everywhere. An Inside bath Is had by drinking, each morning before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre- * vlous day's Indigestible waste, sour fermentations and poisons. thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach. Those subject to sick headache, bil iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance awaiting those who practice Internal sanitation. We must remember that Inside cleanliness Is more important than outside, be cause the skin does not absorb impurU. ties to contaminate the blood, while the pores in the thirty feet of bowela do, \
