10 OF INTEREST T A GIRL AND 4 MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life t by Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XIATI (Copyright, 19X6, Star Company.) "He's not our meal ticket!" Annie Rooney's exclamation re curred to Agnes Morley's mind as she paused in front of the address en graved on the card Hasbrook Bain bridge had handed her. She remembered, as she looked fit the big apartment house, that Mr. Bainbridge had told her he was a rich man. He must have means to live in this building. She hesitated a moment before entering. No, Mr. Bainbridge was not what Annie Rooney had termed the "meal ticket" of either of the girls who had discussed him this afternoon. But just now he was the means with which Agnes Morley could hire the trained nurse needed by her aunt. She hated to liave to depend upon any man for this i money yet, how fortunate that she could work for it! After all, she reflected reassuringly, she would be earning this sum, not 1 accepting It as a gift. The thought j gave her courage to enter the wide j lobby and cross to the elevator. The liveried elevator boy looked at 1 her inquiringly. "Mr. Bainbridge," sh< said briefly. I "Are you expected?" the boy queried. The question brought a slight flush I to her face. "I am,' ' she replied coldly. On the tenth floor the operator di- [ rected her to a door at the end of 1 the hall. "E'even D," he said laconically. I The descending car was out of sight! by the time Agnes had pushed the but- 1 ton indicated. A man servant an- j swered her ring. "Mr. Bainbridge is expecting you, madam." he said, before she could speak. "Please come right into the library." A Pine Apartment She had never been in a duplex apartment before, and the elegance' of all the appointmfer.-s made her widen her eyes. It was like the inside | of a house, she reflected as she saw the mahogany railed staircase run ning up from the square liall. The I large room into which she was ushered j was lined with breast-high book i shelves. The rug covering the hard- [ wood floor was so thick that her j feet seemed to sink into it. The! furniture was upholstered in rich | leather. Above the bookshelves hung num- J erous pictures in shadow now, as l the only light that was burning! was a shaded resting lamp on a huge center table at which Has- j brook Bainbridge sat reading. As| his 1 servant addressed him, he j sprang to his feet. "All. Miss Morley, good evening!" j he greeted her formally. "Thanks! for being so prompt. We will get 1 right to work. Calvin." to the ser-1 vant. "show Miss Morley where she 1 can lay her hat and coat." Without a word, Agnes went into | the small ante-room to which Cal- Coal Consumers Are Blamed For Present Shortage There is undoubtedly a shortage of coal. The mines aren't to blame. The miners aren't entirely to blame. That being true, the question is, what caused the intense shortage? The facts are that during the summer months the miners were forced to close down often for a lack of orders. The people were not buying coal. Just what the idle time amounted to it is hard to say. One thing is sure, however, very much more coal could have been purchased last summer than was purchased. If it had been bought it could have been delivered. The consumers did not buy coal when it could be had. They may not get it when they want it badly., It will be poor policy, this winter to wait until cold weather to get your supply. Better order a quantity at once. United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowden Third & Boas 15th & Chestnut Hummel & Mulberry Also, Steclton, Pa.

She scarcely glanced at the combination cloak and dressing room, but, laying oft her hat and jacket, and giving a hasty glance into the mirror, returned to the library where Bainbridge awaited her. "Here is a typewriter," her host said. He turned on the light in a hang ing lamp on one side of the room, and the radiance fell upon a small rolltop desk which, when opened, revealed a machine of the make to which Agnes was accustomed. "That is all X will need this eve ning, Calvin," Bainbridge told his man. "Leave a siphon of vicliy in the icebox and glasses on the din ing room table before you go out." "Nothing else, sir?" "Nothing else to-night," Bain bridge told him. "Close the door behind you when you go." W T hen tho servant was out of ear shot, Hasbrook Bainbridge resumed the pleasant manner to which Agnes had become accustomed of late. Bainbridge 19 Genial "Well, child," he said genially, "this is nice, isn't it? Are you ready to hear about your work, or shall we have a little chat first? There Is no hurry, you kno/." "I want to know about the work, please," Agnes replied. She felt vaguely uncomfortable, although she could not have ex plained why. The man, noting this, fell in at once with her mood. The matter he wanted copied, he told her, was many pages from an old English book he had come across recently, and which he had been able to borrow for a few weeks. "It is so valuable that I dare not let it go out of the house to an or dinary copyist," he explained. "Moreover, I must be on hand when the work Is being done, for some of the old type is hard to decipher and you will need to ask me about it." "I see," she said. She gazed at the book curiously. The covers were of dark brown leather, stained with age. The lan guage in which it was written was indeed, as her employer had said, "old English." "It looks like some of Chaucer," Agnes remarked. Bainbridge glanced up in surprise. "Do you know Chaucer?" he que ried incredulously. "We had htm at school, of course," she said gravely. Did this man suppose that she knew nothing of English literature? Vet she was but his stenographer, not his equal. The thought quieted her nervousness and made her man ner cold and practical. "If you are ready for me to begin T would like to do so at once," she suggested. "I cannot stay much over an hour this evening." He made no demur, and she began the typing. It was slow work, and she wondered how many nights she would have to come here before she would finish the task assigned her. (To Be ConUnued) TOUCHES OF FUR MOST IMPORTANT Winter Frocks and Coats Just Must Have Fur Trimmings Somewhere By MAY MANTON 0206 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Dress with Applied Box-Plaits for Misses and Small Wo men, 16 and 18 years. Fur trimming makes such an important feature of the Autumn fashions that it fairly cries out to be discussed. This frock shows it used most successfully. The dress is made of the wool gabardine that is such a pronounced and deserved favorite and the little belts that are arranged at the waist line are very new and very smart. Skirt and body portions are made separately but are joined beneath the belts. The box-plaits are applied, but their edges are joined to the separate edges of the skirt and they add to the width while they give exceedingly be coming lines to the figure. The model is a charming one for the frock of silk, as well as for the frock of wool. Taffeta would be handsome and gros de Londres is much used, and either silk poplin or wool poplin would be smart. If wanted, the fronts can be rolled open to give a V-shaped neck. For the 16 size will be needed, ?l<j yards of material 27 inches wide, yards 36 or yards 44 or 54, with 5 yards of fur banding; the skirt is 4 yards in width at the lower edge. The pattern No. 9206 is cut in sizes for 16 and 18 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department oi this paper, ou receipt oi ilftccii ceata. AT ONCE!

A Sporting Proposition. a gilt lettered door on II II se venteenth floor of a New IIfI York office building a tall IMBJ young man in a fur lined coat stood shivering. Why did he shiver in that coat? He shivered because he was fussed, poor chap. Because he was rattled, from the soles of his custom made boots to the apex of bis Piccadilly hat. A pain ful, palpitating spectacle he stood. Meauwhile. on the other side of the door, the business of the American branch of that famous marine insur ance firm, Boyd's of London—usually termed in magazine articles "The Greatest Gambling Institution In the World"—went on oblivious to the shlv erer who approached. The shiverer, with a nervous move ment, shifted his walking stick to his left hand and laid his right on the doorknob. Though he is not at his best, let us take a look at him. Tall, as has been noted, perfectly garbed after London's taste, mild and blue as to eye, blond as to hair. A handsome, if somewhat weak face. Ycry distin guished—even aristocratic—in appear ance. Perhaps—the thrill for us dem ocrats here—of the nobility. And at this moment sadly in need of a gener ous dose of that courage that abounds —see any book of familiar quotations —ou the playing fields of Eton. Utterly destitute of the Eton or any other brand, he pushed open the door. The click of two dozen American type writers smote upon his hearing. An office boy of the dominant New York race demanded in loud, indiscreet tones his business there. "My business." said the tall young man weakly, "is Willi Boyd's of Lon don." The boy wandered ofr down that stenographer bordered lane. In a mo ment he was back. "Mr. Thacker 'll see you,' he an nounced. Mr. Thacker sat in plump and genial prosperity before a polished flat top desk. Opposite him at a desk equally polished sat an even more polished young American of capable bearing. For an embarrassed moment the tall youth in fur stood looking from one to the other. Then Mr. Thacker spoke: "What can we do for you?" Mr. Thacker was cold and matter of fact, like a card index. Steadily through each week he grew more business like, and this was Saturday morning. The visitor performed a shaky but remarkable juggling feat with his walking stick. "I—well—l" he stammered. "Oh, come, come!" thought Mr. Thacker impatiently. "Well," said the tall young man des perately, "perhaps it would be best for me to make myself known at once. 1 am Allan, Lord Harrowby, son and heir of James Nelson Harrowby, earl of Baybrook. And I—l have come here"— The younger of the Americans spoke In more kindly fashion: "You have a proposition to make?" "Exactly," said Lord Harrowby and sank, with a sigh of relief, Into a chair as though that concluded his portion of the entertainment. '"Let's hear it," boomed the relentless Ttaacker. Lord Harrowby writhed in his chair. "I am sure you will pardon me," he said, "if I preface my—er—proposition with the f.tatement that it is utterly fantastic. And if I add also that it should be known to the fewest possible number." Mr. ThacUer waved his hand acrost the gleaming surfaces of two deaks, "This is my assistant manager, Mr Richard Mlnot," he announced, "Mr Mlnot, you must know, is in on ull thi secrets of the firm. Now, let's have it.' "I am right, ,'un I not," his lordsltii continued," in the naHinnptlou that youi company frequently taken father uu uy&! i\shs i "Our company," answered Mr. Thack er, "Is chiefly concerned with the for tunes of those who go down to—anc sometimes down into—the sea in ships However, there are a number of non marine underwriters connected with us and these men have been known to risk their money on pretty giddy chances It's all done in our name, though tb firm Is not financially responsible." Lord Harrowby got quickly to hi.' feet. "Then it would bo better," he said relieved, "for me to take my proposi tion to one of these non-marine under writers.'' Mr. Thacker frowned. Curiosity ngi tated his bosom. "You'd have to go to London to d< that," he remarked. "Better give ui an inkling of what's on your mind."

"The verj man—and In Xew York too. Jephson would Insure T. Roosevelt against an other cup of coffee." "Am I to understand," asked Har rowby, "that Jephson Is the man foi me to see?"
