It's going to be a long, hard winter
for writers of popular fiction —the kind
that comes in paper backs and gives
more thrills for a dime than a five-reel
movie, says the New York Tribune.
Picture the author of "The Perils of
Broadway: or, Florette, the Beautiful
Cabaret Singer." toasting his feet be
fore the radiator in Mis fiat and scrib
bling away at a cent and a half a word.
"It was a fight to the death," comes
redhot from his goro-dripping fountain
pen. "Thrusting the girl behind him,
Jack Thornton faced the oncoming band
with a stern, set face. A perilous gleam
flashed from his keen eyes. His extend
ed right hand gripped a menacing re- ,
volver without a tremor. Another mo- |
ment and they were upon him. Two
shots cracked shr.rply on the still night
a ir "
And just then the telephone bell
rings. The sharp voice of the author s
publisher rudely interrupts Jack
Thornton's fight for life.
"Sav, vou'll have to cut this stuff
short!" he commands. "The price of
print paper's just shot up another 10
per cent, and we'll have to hold this
yarn in a hundred pages. And well
lose money on it, at that"
"Marry 'em or kill 'em in the next

No matter what ails your child, a
Kentle, thorough laxative should al

If your little one is out-of-sorts,

that the little stomach, liver and bow

cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour,

diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold,
give a teaspoonful of "California

all the constipated poison, undigested

of the little bowels without griping,
and you have a well, playful child
again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless "fruit laxative," be
cause it never fails to cleanse the little

the way, we won't want any more
stuft from you. We're going to cut out
publishing your line. The price of
paper has gone so high wa can't make
any money on cheap fiction."
Sadly the author returns to his scrib
bling, kills ofT Jack Thornton's enemies
with three more shots, throws the mar
riage halter over Jack and Florette,
writes "Finis"—and goes out to look
for a job.
According to publisher* of the
cheaper class of fiction in New York,
there 11 be a lot of such authors won
dering where the rent is coming from
this winter—unless the price ot paper
takes an unexpected drop. When their
present paper contracts expire most of
1 ti Publishers of paper-back books
will cease issuing them altogether un
til more normal conditions prevail.
And this is not all of the bad news.
Devotees of blooded ten and fifteen
cent fiction aren't going to be the oniy
suiierers. Books ot the better class are
going to cost more than they did be
fore. "Best sellers" that can usually be
obtained for sl.lO are going to "cost
this winter, and $1.25 volumes
will be boosted to J1.35
The price of cheaper bound books will
be increased in proportion
According to one authority the cost
of book paper has In some instances in
creased as much as 100 per cent, in the
last few weeks. Newspaper print has
gone up 50 per cent.
e have made increases from 5 to
-o per cent, in the list prices of books
published by us this year," said George
~ oran ' head of the publishing tlrm
of that name. "We have, therefore,
made no increase in the price of books
published prior to the recent rise in
the cost of paper.
"While the cost of materials Is the
Principal cause of higher book prices,
1 believe it would have been necessary
event to adjust prices because
o£ the general economic situation. The
increased cost of doing business, the
necessity of liberal discounts to book
sellers and the general movement re
sulting from the decreased purchasing
power of the dollar are contributory
causes."
At the offices of the Houghton Mifflin
Company it was said the retail price of
books had been raised generally from
ten to fifteen cents a copy.
The only class of bound books on
which the publishers will lose money is
school books. The Houghton Miffln
Company produces a large quantity of
these. In most instances the margin of
profit is small. Many contracts are still
to be filled. On these, it was said, the
increased cost of production will easily
wipe out a margin of half a cent or a
cent profit on a volume.
From Street and Smith, who have
eriven to young America millions of
pages of printed thrills, came the final
word on the paperback novel situation.
It is evidently time for Old Sleuth and
Xick Carter and other worthies of that
ilk to begin to worry about their fu
ture.
An official of the company said there
had been no curtailment of the output
of publishers of popular-priced fiction
because practically all of them had un
expired contracts for paper supplies
which had been made at reasonable
prices. When they are forced to make
new contracts, however, the cost of
production will be so excessive as to
preclude the publication of any but
bound volumes.
Magazines will not be so seriously
affected, it was explained, because their
advertising will make up the difference.
But the James Boys, Old King Brady
and the other heroes who caused
youthful eyes to pop and Juvenile
hearts to thump in the good old days
have no advertisers to help them out.
It looks as if the last redskin has bit
the dust.
TO RE-EXAMINE UNFIT
Paris, Nov. 2 4.—The minister of
war has introduced a bill in the cham
ber of deputies by which all persons
exempted from military service or
mustered out as physically unfit prior
to April I, 1916, must submit to a
further medical examination. During
the first period of the war the main
.object in recruiting was not to over
crowd the depots and consequently
only the strongest men were taken.
The minister believes that of several
hundred thousand men thus exempted
an apreclable number will be found,
on a less perfunctory medical exami
nation, to be capable of enrollment for
noncombatnnt service at least. Certain
defects, hitherto considered inhibitive,
are not Incompatible with service in
the artillery or even the fighting ranks.
FATHER DEniJiE ON THII AGAIN
The Hague, via Ix>ndon, Nov. 24.
Father John B. Devllle, of Chicago,
has started for Belgium on his fourth
trip to bring out old men, women and
children to rejoin their relatives In
America. Three hundred of these
refugees are ready to leave In East
and West Flanders. No one has been
permitted to leave these districts by
the German autharitles for more than
twelve months.
CONFIRMS TISZA
London, Nov. 24.—Emperor Charles
of Austria has sent an autograph letter
to Premier Tisza, of Hungary, con
firming him and the Hungarian min
isters in their posts, according to a
Budapest dispatch to Reuter's by wai
st Amsterdam.
OF INTEREST TO
A GIRL AN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van Water
CHAPTER IJX. 1
Copyright. 1916, Star Company.
A sense of horror, a fear of some
thing: awful and intangible, gripped
Agnes Morley when she found herself
alone.
Stumbling forward, she ran out Into
the hnll, forgetful of appearances, re
gardless of the fact that others might
hear her voice, and wonder at her agi
tation.
"Phil! Phil!" she called.
But the echo of the downward rush
of feet on the stairs, then the slam
ming of the heavy lower door were
the only answers to her voice.
And now over the girl like an Icy
wave swept the memory of her lover's
last words.
"I'm going to see Eainbridge. He
won't trouble you again."
She dragged her heavy feet back
into the living room. Jennie came In
right behind her.
"Please. Miss Agnes," she began, but
at the sound Agnes started violently.
"Oh!" she exclaimed. The ejacula
tion was almost like a scream, and the
maid shrank back, appalled.
"Excuse me, pelase, ma'am!" she
stammered. "I thought you heard me
coming. I did not mean to scare
you like that"
"Yes—you did scare me." Agnes
tried to speak steadily, going toward
the window ns If to look out that the
girl might not see her reddefied eyes.
"But I should not have exclaimed as
I did. I must have been a little nerv
ous."
"Indeed, ma'am, you've had enough
to make you nervous," the kind
hearted Irish girl agreed. "I came in
because I thought I heard you call out
something. My kitchen door was shut,
but I heard your voice, and it sounded
kind of frightened. I thought, so I
came right in. Is anything the mat
ter?"
"Why, no—nothing—that Is, I tried
to call Mr. Hale—there was something
I wanted to speak to him about, but
he was gone before I—before I—could
make him hear me. 1 did not know
I was calling so loudly."
Jennie Is Mistaken
The grirl lingered awkwardly. She
had jumped to the conclusion that
her employer's agitation was due to
some bad news with regard to Miss
Lucy Morley. At last, when Agnes
still remained with her back to the
room, Jennie summoned courage to
ask a question.
"Please, ma'am"—with a prelimin
ary clearing of the throat—"did you
—l—mean—is Miss Lucy any worse?"
A sudden inspiration came to Agnes'
relief. Since Miss Lucy was so very
ill why not let the maid think that this
fact had caused thered eyes and swol
len face of the niece? It might be a
bit like prevarication—and yet back
of all her troubles lay Miss Lucy's
illness. But for that—ail these dread
ful things would not have happened.
A GLASS WHICH CANNOT BE
SHATTERED
A new glass, transparent, tough and
strong, which has all the advantages
and none of the defects of brittle, frag
ile window glass, has been invented,
i A twenty-two caliber bullet cannot
penetrate it; a brick cannot shatter tt:
a heavy man thrown against it under
all the terrific momentum of a colli
sion would not go through it, but
would be thrown back from it, unin
jured by flying glass, because none
would fly. A stone thrown against it
will bounce back like a golf ball.
The secret of Its strength, says the
Popular Science Monthly, is a sheet of
white, transparent celluloid, twenty
one thousandths of an inch thick,
which is placed between two pieces of
glass. The glass and celluloid are
simply welded together under high
temperature and tremendous pressure,
the resultant being a solid sheet pos
sessing all the transparency of the
best plate glass, combined with the |
strength of a sheet of metal.

"Miss Lucy is very ill, Jennie," she
said, somewhat unsteadily, but turn
ing toward the girl. "I saw Dr. Mar
tin this morning. He says she must
have a more serious operation than he
anticipated."
"Oh, ma'am—and when will It be?"
the girl asked, anxiously, t
"As soon as possible. Perhaps to
day—more probably to-night or to
morrow. As you know, I was expect
ing an operation, but not such a dan
gerous one as this."
"No wonder you're upset about It,
Miss Agnes." Tears came to the
maid's eyes as she looked pityingly at
the agitated girl before her. "Are
you sure, ma'am, that you wouldn't
rather have me stay the night
through? You see, ma'am, It's going
on into the afternoon now, and I can
stay just as well."
"No," Agnes said decidedly. "I will be
all right alono. Then, seeing the girl's
face fall, she added, "but yes, stay If
you like. It will be good to know you
are near—only, Jennie, please don't
disturb me, for I want to be alone to
think over some things."
All the afternoon she waited, some
times pacing the room restlessly, at
other times gazing from the window,
occasionally trying to read. Only once
did Jennie Intrude upon her privacy,
and this was at dusk, when she entered
with a tray of food.
"Try to eat a bit," she urged, then
withdrew softly.
Agnes ate a little; then, as the dusk
changed to night, she sat in the dark
parlor, still waiting for the ring of the
doorbell, for the return of the man
who loved her, for something, she
knew not what, that was coming.
But nothing came, and when the
mantel clock struck ten. she gave up
her vigil and went to bed. For a while
the darkness about her seemed in
scribed in letters of fire with the words
Phil had ipoken as he left her—"l'm
going to see Balnbridge. He won't
trouble you again." At last, worn out
by her emotions, she slept—an un
happy slumber filled with uneasy
dreams.
And while she dreamed, men of an
uptown detective bureau gathered In
the corridor of a flashily handsome
apartment house where an ashen
faced negro elevator boy took them
upstairs to a door that had been
broken In.
Later, when the first editions of the
morning papers appeared on the
street, people returning home at dawn
yielded to the lure of the staring head
lines, and rend of a new murder that
had startled the city.
For Hasbrook Bainbrldge was dead.
They had laid him on the big brass
bed in his bachelor apartment. They
had washed the gross face clean of
blood, and a sleek undertaker had
pressed the thick lips together over
the gap left by the bullet which had
knocked out two of his front teeth.

PLAITED SKIRT

Fashion; Coat With
Plaits
By MAY MAN TON
8814 (TV ith Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance ) Coat with Plaits,
34 to 44 bust.
8796 (fVith Basting Line and Added
Seam Allowance) Plaited Skirt with
Yoke, 24 to 32 waist.
Gabardine lias received the approval ot
Paris. It is shown in a great many of the
imported models and as it is in itself a
beautiful material its vogue is established.
This costume shows it treated in the simple
tailored fashion that always is practical
and which allows of wearing any fur wrap
that the occasion may require. The coat
gives a little hint of the Norfolk idea in
the yoke but it is distinctly novel for the
side portions are extended to form the
! belt which holds the plaits in place at the
waist line while they are released below.
The skirt harmonizes with this coat to
perfection for it also is plaited at the sides
and plain at the front and back. Ap
propriately, the model can be used for
velours or'for broadcloth or for velveteen
a3 well as for vhe gabardine.
For the medium size the coat will
require, 4}4 yards of material 36 inches
i wide, 3 yards 44 or 214 yards 54 and for
I the skirt will be needed, 4}•£ yards 36,
! yards 44 or 3 J g yards 54: it is 4 yards in
j width at the lower edge.
The pattern of the coat No. 8814 is cut
in sizes from 34 to 44 inches bust measure
and of the skirt No. 8796 in sizes from 24
to 32 inches waist measure. They will be
mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on receipt of
fifteen cents for each.

Relieved Her Baby When
Nothing Else Would.
Little Max Pendergrast is now four
years old, and a fine healthy boy. When
but a tiny baby, in fact almost from
birth, he suffered a great deal from
constipation. His mother, Mrs. Carl
W. Pendergrast, Red Key, Ind., heard
of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, ob
tained a bottle of It from the drug
store, and with it was able to quickly
correct this condition.
Mrs. PendergWxst says Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin has saved them
from calling the doctor many times,
and that she will never be without a
bottle of it In the house to use when
needed. She found It equally effective
as a laxative for herself and other
members of the family.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin pleasant to the taste,
mild in action and positive in effect.
It does not gripe or strain, and con
tains no opiate or narcotic drug. It
is the ideal family laxative, mild and
