OF INTEREST TO
A GIRL AND
A New and Vital Romance of City Life

• Agnes Morley was ready for bed
an hour after Hasbrook Bainbridge's
departure, when onco more she heard
the doorbell ring.
Glancing at the clock, she saw that
it was after ten-thirty. Surely, then,
this could be no caller, she decided, as,
putting on her wrapper and slippers,
she obeyed the summons.
It was not a caller, but a messen
ger boy, who handed her an envelope
bearing tho Imprint of a certain well
known club and addressed to her.
"I guess there ain't no answer,"
the boy opined, then ran downstairs.
Agnes had already recognized the
handwriting as that of Hasbrook
Bainbridge. He had probably stop
ped, at his club on the way home and
had written her somo message which
he had forgotten to utter during his
call on her.
The contents of the envelope proved
that she was right. They also proved,
to her way of thinking, that Hasbrook
Bainbridge was the kindest man she
knew.
"Dear Miss Morley," the letter ran,
'T meant to tell you tins evening
that you are not to corao down to
the office to-morrow. Walt until the
next day.. You have been under a
strain to-day, and you should take
a good rest. Moreover, you will be
anxious about your aunt until you
are sure that she likes her nurse and
that they understand each other. So
remember that I have arranged to
havo your work done by Miss Durkee
—I mean as well as she can do it.
Needless to say, she lacks your ability,
brains and good sense.
"Forgive me for rousing you at this
hour of the night when you should be
asleep. But 1 do not believe that you
have considered yourself and your own
needs enough ta retire even yet. Please
take care of yourself.
"And, by the way, if you have any
faith in my friendship, do not thank
me for tho advance payment I made
you to-night. It is yours—or will be

Ihe copying I referred to,this evening.
By the way, we settled nothing abont
terms. But that detail can come later.
"Faithfully your'frlend,
"H. B."
A Hart! Position
The girl had not known how tired
she was until this messago came—
this message which proved that some
one was thinking of her welfare and
of her health.
For a minute she let herself enjoy
the comfortable glow brought by this
thought, then quickly upon it came
the realization that, kind as this man
seemed, he was, after all, her em
ployer, to whom she was only a poor
working girl, and on this reflection
followed tho sickening doubt as to
whether she had not been wrong in
letting him help her as he had done
and was expecting to do. Tat what
other course could she pursue?
Why need she, just now when light
appeared on her pathway, be seized
with this awful premonition of evil?
She shook it off as if it were a
tangible thing. She was tired, she a*-

Plant Tulips and Hyacinths Now
There is nothing more beautiful than a bed of bright-colored
Tulips or Hyacinths blooming early in the Spring. To have
them it is necessary to plant the bulbs now. Plant them in
various shaped beds along walks, by the porch or fence, among
hardy shrubbery, in window boxes—everywhere they are
sure to bloom and then can be removed for the summer flowers.

Early Coal Buying Advisable
It's the part of wisdom to buy your winter supply of coal now.
Once the frost and ice and snow of winter get busy, it's pretty
difficult to keep the coal free of dust and dirt. Summer-mined
caol by the very nature of things is cleaner, the screening we
give it insures practically a complete absence of dust and°dirt.

THURSDAY EVENING,
sured herself—that was all, dead
tired. She would not think of the mat
ter now. She would just try to re
member that she need not hurry
downtown to-morrow morning, but
could rest after the strain of the past
day.
Aunt Lucy was comfortable; Miss
Watson was with her and would call
Agnes if anything went wrong. But
nothing: would gix wrong, of course.
She, Agnes, would try to think of
something pleasant.
And then as she closed her eyes
she remembered the eager 100k —the
soarcely suppressed gleam of happi
ness in Phil's eye 3 this ruorping.
And with this happy recollection
she fell asleep.
Miss Durkee had finished typing Mr.
Bainbridge's replies to the various
communications that had come to him
in the morning's mail, and. having
handed the letters to him for his sig
nature, was busy putting a new rib
bon in her typewriter when his harsh
voice made her start and drop the
reeNof ribbon she was unwinding.
Miss Durkee Blamed
"Miss Durkee!" he exclaimed, "you
have made a ridiculous blunder here!
I certainly never dictated such a sen
tence as this to you. lam not at all
interested in the digestive apparatus
of my correspondent."
He held a letter towards her. his
blunt forefinger pointing to a single
line. She read it. her cheeks burning
with mortification and anger.
" 'We approve of your digestion!' "
the man sneered. "That's a nice mis
take—to write 'digestion' instead of
'suggestion,' isn't it now?"
"I—l—beg your pardon!" the sten
ographer stammered. "1 never did
such a thing before."
''l should hope not!" he retorted.
"And see that you never do it again!"
His manner angered her still furth
er, and she tried to excuse herself.
"Really, Mr. Bainbridge," she said
testily, "as I never made such a mis
take before I do not think it's quite
'fair of you to bo so much displeased
With me now. All stenographers make
mistakes sometimes."
"Those of your class may." he snarl
ed. "During your absence I have been
so forunato as to have one who did
not."
The green eyes snapped dangerous
ly. But before their owner could
speak Philip Halo entered the room.
"I was looking for you in my
father's office, Mr. Bainbridge." Philip
tried to speak indifferently. "But I
saw that the place was empty. What's
up?"
"Illness in Miss Morley's family,"
Bainbridge explained briefly.
Philip started to ask an impulsiv#
question, then remembered himself in
time to say instead—"My father's
coming back to-morrow."
"I know he is." Bainbridge rejoin
ed. "So. aa ho will want M'ss Mor
ley's services. I suppose I shall have
to put up with what I can get."
He glanced vindictively as Miss Dur
kee! and Philip, finding the mental at
mosphere too squall-'.tke for comfftrt,
silently withdrew.

material. Embroidered flouncing makes !
a very charming effect with lace banding j
used in combination. For the four-year '
child, challis could be used or a fine wool j
crepe, but at one and two, the washable !
lawns and batistes and such fabrics are j
to be preferred, although dotted swiss I
must be added to the list for the swisses j
are being used this season and are very j
charming for the little folk, the all white i
and the white dotted with color.

CONCRETE LINK
TO BE DEDICATED
Plans Completed For Notable
Ceremony at Eastern Bor
der of the Slate
Fifteen thousand invitations have
been issued by the William Penn
Highway Association to the formal
dedication November 2 of the new
concrete link of its New York exten
sion, between Bethleliein and Easton.
Governors G. Brumbaugh of Penn
sylvania and James F. Fielder of New
Jersey will take a prominent part in
the event, while the chairman will be
Charles M. Schwab, the Bethlehem
steel magnate. Mr. Schwab will be
introdvxeed by William Jennings of
Harrisburg, president of the William
Penn Highway Association.
The formal ceremonies will occur
midway between Bethlenem and Eas
ton, where a speakers' pavilion will
be erected and a huge circus tent set
up in which to serve a complimentary
lunch to tlia ten thousand guests who
will be on hand. The day is being
declared a holiday in Easton, Bethle
hem and Allentown.
Five special trains will transport
guests from various sections. One of
these trains will be of sleepers and
will carry the guests from Pittsburgh
and Western Pennsylvania. A special
trains of 10 parlor cars and the *pri
vate Pullman Olympia, will cany the
Harrlsburgers and Governor Brum
baugh to-Easton. The Governor will
bo accompanied by every member of
his staff. Another special train of
parlor cars will operate from Phila
delphia to Easton, at Trenton pick
ing tip Governor Fielder of New Jer
sey and his guests. Still other spe
cials will be those from Scranton and
New York.
The Governors of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey will cut away a silken
barrier, indicating that a new 'cross
country highway is on the way to
completion. Governor Brumbaugh,
with a silver spade, will remove some
of the protecting cover of earth from
the highway. This silver spade was
last used by Governor Dunne of Illi
nois in opening a new strip of road
in Vermillion county, Illinois, in which
county under a million and a half
dollars bond issue contracts for 145
miles of concrete were let during the
last few months.
Invitations for the first rrtad open
ing dedication ever held in the east
were mailed from William Penn head
quarters In Harrisburg Saturday
morning. They covered the entire
United States, the great majority,
however, lining in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, the two States which will
benefit moat through the completion
of the William Penn New York ex
tension. This extension. Incidentally
leaves the main William Pcnn road at
Trading.
Two prominent guests of the 'Wil
liam Penn Highway association will
be Colonel William C. Edens of Chi
cago, president of tlie National Parks
Highways Association, and Charles C.
Jacobus, of Milwaukee, chairman of
the Milwaukee County Road and
Bridge Committee of the Board of
Supervisors. Milwaukee county has
built 150 miles of permanent roads.
There is great likelihood that the
Governor of New York will be repre
sented at the East on event. The
Easton-Philllpsburg-New York Ex
tension cuts 20 miles from the distance
between New York and Harrisburg.
The special train, Nov. 2 will stop
at Easton and at Philllpsburg, N. J.
The ceremonies occur several miles
southwest of Easton, and a fleet of
500 automobiles will carry visitors to
the scene. Several bands will take
part in an automobile parade being
arranged, among them the Bethlehem
steel works band loaned for the event
by Charles M. Schwab.
