10 WOMEN'S INTERESTS I A GIRL AND A MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van ie Water CHAPTER LIII. Copyright, 1916, Star Company.) A Agnes Morley and her compan ion returned to the library tne tele phone rang, and Balnbridge went oxit Into the hall to answer it. Apnea won dered for an Instant if the call could be tor her; then, from the scraps of con versation borne to her ears, she knew that some friend was talking to her host. She heard Balnbridge laugh out merrily and say that perhaps he ■would "drop Into the club soon after 'midnight." As she stood alone In the middle of the room she glanced at her watch. It Nvas 11 o'clock! What was she, Agnes Morley, doing here at tills time of the night with this man? As is so often the case after an un natural stimulant, the girl's mood changed in a moment. All at once! she realized that she. this man's sten ographer, had been sitting at his table, eating and drinking with him! i To be sure he had said the punch would not hurt a baby—but she had j always held that a girl should not I drink with a man. Aunt Lucy's no ■ tions were so old-fashioned that Agnes did not wonder what she would say if ' she knew of her niece's behavior. But what would Philip Hale say if he knew of this? Consternation seized her. To come here to work was one thing; to lin ger until this hour was another. Following a sudden impulse, she ■ ran into the ante-room, fastened on i her hat, thrust her arms into her | jacket sleeves, and was back in the I library by the time that Balnbridge J returned. j "Hold on!" he exclaimed. 'What's [ ,your hurry? What are you going | away so soon for?" "It's very late," she told him. "I must go. Thank you for your kind- j ness." "Wait," he urged. "I want to dls-, | cuss that work. Will you undertake it?" "Oh. yes," she said, remembering as she had remembered a little while j ago that it would mean relief from fear. Tim Question of Money "You will want some money soon," j he remarked "before you have a chance to work for It." "Oh, no," she demurred. "But you will, child," he insisted j "You will have to pay for all that hos- j pital business—and I can let you have some cash here and now." And only a few hours ago she had j been in an agony of apprehension. ! She would not take the money, but this man's thought of her made her 1 grateful. Her weariness, her long day of fasting, the punch she had | taken, all made her self-control weak. Her lips trembled as she looked into j Bain'. .ge's eyes. "How good you are!" she exclaim- ; ed. "I can't accept your offer—but I j do appreciate it, and 1 know you are my friend. Good night, and thank you!" She held out her hand, and he seiz- j ed it, pulling her to him and clasping | her in his arms. Before she could ; Iree herself he had kissed her.

L A FINE TREATMENT FOR CATARRH EASY TO MAKE AM) COSTS LITTLE Catarrh is such an insidious disease and has become so prevalent during the past few years that its treatment should be understood by all. Science has fully proved that Catarrh is a constitutional disease and therefore requires a constitutional treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salves and nose douches seldom if ever give lasting benefit and often drive the disease further down the air passages and into the lungs. If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deafness or head-noises, go to your druggist and get one ounce of Parinint (Double strength). Take this home and add to it V 4 pint hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved, take one tablespoonful 4 times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head-noises, clog ged nostrils should open, breathing be come easy and mucus stop dropping in to the throat. This treatment has a slight tonic ac tion which makes it especlallv effec tive In cases where the blood has be come thin and weak. It is easv tu make, tastes pleasant and costs little Every person who wishes to be free from this destructive disease should give this treatment a trial.—Advertise ment. turkeys will ■old at Adams Express Com pair oßltt, 4th -Bt and Chestnut Customers who have been buying their Thanksgiving turkeys here know that my prlees are the lowest and quality better than any plu ce else In town. MONDAY EVENING, "Silly child, silly little girl!" ho mur mured. "Don't you know that you can have all the money you want" — As she wrenched herself free, she struck at him. but he caught her by her arms and held her firmly. "Let me go! Let me go!" she pant ed. "You are a brute!" He released her and she reeled back against the table. "Don't be a fool!" he exclaimed. "That stuff doesn't go down with me!" She started to leave the room, but he placed his bulky form between her and the door. "Let me go!" she repeated. "You can go all right," he told her. "when I'm ready. See here, girl," changing his tone suddenly, "there's no senso in your taking on airs. I know you're not as particular as you pretend to be." "You mean," she accused, "that I have dono wrong in coming here!" Yes, I have—but I thought you were a gentleman. Now I sec my mistake. Let me go!" A Revelation "And how are you going to get your money?" he demanded, a crafty smile coming to his face. "Perhaps you think you can make it In some easier way than from me—but you can't! Listen to what I have to say before you throw away a good chance. If you go now, you'll wish you hadn't, for you sha'n't come back." "I happen to know you want money —and I can give you more than that young cad Halo can. Ah!" as she gasped—"you thought I didn't know about that, did you? Well, I do—and what's more, if you're too independent his father—your boss—will know It, too." For the momejit the girl's fear was swallowed up In such anger as she had never felt before. "Oh!" she ejaculated in a low, tense voice, "If I were a man, I'd kill you!" He laughed harshly. "That actress-stuff doesn't go down with me," he sneered. "Bemember. I can tell people that you accepted money from me—much more than you earned; I can tell, too, of finding you alone in the dark with young Hale; 1 can tell of your being here at this hour of the night, and arranging to come again and again—and to take money for coming. "Now do you intend to listen to the offer I have to make to you or not? See here," adopting the tone of one ready to reason a matter out, "I am ■willing to excuse what you said just now. You were excited, and didn't mean it, I know." Again he tried to draw her to him. but, before he could suspect her Inten tion. she struck him with her clenched fist straight on the full, sensual mouth. She saw the blood spurt out as his teeth went through his lip. T nas.ehetaoi otawtaoputauntaunan Then, as with an oath he staggered back, she darted past him, down the hall, out of the apartment, and, with out summoning the elevator, ran noiselessly down the many flights of stairs, past the two dozing door flun kies, and out into the street.

Whether you copy this garment in hand kerchief lawn or in fine batiste or in cr£pe de chine it will be a very satisfactory one. It is comfortable and pleasant to wear, it is shapely and consequently it serves well beneath the fashionable gowns. The scam at the back does away with full ness at that point and there is an exten sion on the back edge that is buttoned onto the front to form envelope drawers. The lower edge can be made straight or it can be curved at the under-arm seams. The simple scalloped edges illustrated are essentially dainty and atttractive, but as a matter of course, any preferred trimming can be used, lace edging for neck and arm-holes with insertion or beading within, and an underfaced lower edge make a good effect. For the medium size will be needed, 2 yards of material 36 or 44 inches wide. The pattern No. 9226 is cut in three sizes, small 34 or 36, medium 38 or 40, large 42 or 44 inches bust measure.

"Cynthia, what Is it?" Harrowby was saying. Cynthia Meyrick felt wildly of her shining hair. "Your necklace," she {rasped—"Chain Lightning's collar! He took it! He took it!" "Who?" "I don't know! A man! "A man!" Reverent repetition by feminine voices out of the excited group. "He leaped out at mo there—by that tree—pinioned my arms—snatched the necklace! I couldn't see his face. It happened in the shadow." "No matter," Harrowby replied. "Don't give it another thought, my child." "But how can I help"— "I shall telephone the police at once," announced Spencer Meyrick. "I beg you'll do nothing of the sort," expostulated Lord Harrowby. "It would be a great inconvenience. The thing -wasn't worth the publicity that would result I insist that the police be kept out of this." Argument—loud on Mr. Meyrick's part—ensued. Suggestions galore were offered by the guests. But in the end Lord Harrowby had his way. It was agreed not to call In the police. Mr. Minot, looking up, saw a sneer ing smile on the face of Martin Wall. In a flash he knew the truth. With Aunt Mary calling loudly for smelling salts and the whole party more or less In confusion, the return to the house started. Mr. Faddock fralked at Mlnot's side. "Rather looks as though Chain Light ning's collar had choked off our gay ety," he mumbled. "Serves her righf for wearing the thing in her hair. She spoiled two corking lines for me by not wearing it where you'd naturally expect a necklace to be worn." Minot maneuvered so ns to intercept Lord Harrowby under the portico. "May I speak with you a moment?" he inquired. Harrowby bowed, and they stepped into the shadows of the drive. "Lord Harrowby," said Minot, trying to keep the excitement from flis voice, "I have certain information about one of the guests here this evening that I believe would interest you. Tour ICTM ship has been badly buffaloed. One of our fellow diners at Mrs. Bruce's table holds the title of the ablest jewel thief in America!" He watched keenly to catch Lord Harrowby's start of surprise. Alas, he caught nothing of the sort. "Xousense," said Lis lordship nou chalantly. "You mustn't let your Im agination carry you away, dear chap." "Imagination nothing! I know whuc I'm talking about." And then Minot added sarcastically, "Sorry to bore you with this." His lordship laughed. "Right-o, old fellow. I'm not inter ested." "But haven't you just lost"— "A diamond necklace? Yes." They had reached a particularly dark and secluded spot beneath the canopy of paltn leaves. Harrowby turned sud denly and put his hands on Minot's shoulders. "Mr. Minot," ho said, "you are here to see that nothing interferes with my marriage to Miss Meyrick. I trust you are determined to do your duty to your employers?" "Absolutely. That is why"— "Then," replied Harrowby quickly, "I am going to ask you to take charge of this for me." Suddenly Minot felt something cold and glassy in his hand. Startled, he '.ooked down. Even in the dark Chain Ligntning's collar sparkled like the fa mous toy that it was. "Your lordship!" "I cannot explain now. I can only tell you it Is quite necessary that you help me at this time if you wish to do your full duty by Mr. Jephson." "Who took this necklace from Miss Meyricb's hair?" asked Minot hotly. "I did. I assure you it was the only way to prevent our plans from going awry. Please keep it until I ask foi It." And, turning, Lord Harrowby walked rapidly toward the house. "The brute!" Angrily Mr. Minot stood turning the necklace over in his hand. "So he frightened the girl he Is to marry—the girl he Is supposed to love"— What should he do—go to her and tell her of Harrowby's amiable eccen tricities? He could hardly do that— Harrowby had taken him into his con fidence—and, besides, there was Jeph son of the great bald head, the Peter Pan eyes. Nothing to do but wait. Returning to the hotel from Mrs. Brace's villa, he found awaiting him a cable from Jephson. The cable as sured him that beyond any question the man in San Marco was Allan Har rowby~ and, like Caesar's wife, above suspicion. Yet even as he read Lord Harrowby walked through the lobby, and at his side was Mr. James O'Malley, house detective of the Hotel de la Pax. They came from the manager's office, where they had evidently been closeted. With the cablegram In his hand Mi not entered the elevator and ascended to his room. The other hand was In the pocket of his topcoat, closed tight ly upon Chain Lightning's collar—the bauble that the Earl of Raybrook bad HARRISDURG TELEGRAPH once wagered against kiss. Mr. Mlnot opened Ills eyes on Thurs day morning with the uncomfortable feeling that he was far from his be loved New York. For a moment ho lay dazed, wandering In that dim border land between sleep and waking. Then suddenly he remembered. "Oh, yes. by jove." he muttered. "I'vo been knighted. Groom of the back stairs scandals and keeper of the royal Jewels —that's me." He lifted his pillow. Tlu're on the white sheet sparkled the necklace of which the whole British nobility was jiroud—Chain Lightning's collar. Some seventy-live blue-white diamonds, pear shaped, perfectly graduated. Ills for the moment! "What's Ilarrowby up to. I won.ler?" lie reflected. "The dear old top! Nice, pleasant little party if n policeman should And this hi my pocket." Another perfect day shone in that narrow Spanish street. Up in Manhat tan theatrical press agents were crown ing huge piles of snow with posters an nouncing thoir attractions. Ferries were held up by ice in the river. A breeze from the arctic swept round the Flatlron building. Here lazy summer lolled on the bosom of tlie town. In the hotel dining loom Mr. Minot encountered Jack Paddock, superb in white flannels above his grapefruit. He accepted Paddock's invitation to join him. "By the way," said Mrs. Brace's jes ter, holding up a small, trJly printed newspaper, "have you made the ac quaintance of the San Marco Mjril yet?' "No. What's that?" "A morning newspaper, by courtesy. Started here a few weeks back by a noiseless little Spaniard from Havana named Manuel Gonzale. Slipped in here on his rubber soles, Gonznle did, dressed all in white, lovely lemon face, shifty, can't catch me eyes. And his newspaper—hot stuff, my boy. It has Town Topics looking like a consular report from Greenland." "Scandals?" asked Mr. Minot, also attacking the grapefruit. "Scandals and rumors of scandals. Mostly hints, you know. Several ref erences this morning to our proud and haughty friend. Lord For example, Mme. On Dit, wriXng in her column on page 1, has this to say; "The impecunious but titled English man who has arrived in our midst re cently with the idea of connecting •with certain American dollars has an interesting time ahead of him, if ru mor speaks true. The little incident in the lobby of a local hotel the other evening—which was duly reported In this column at the time—was but a mild beginning. The gentleman in charge of the claimant to the title held so jealously by our British friend prom ises immediate developments which ■will be rich, rare and racy.' " "Rich, rare and racy!" repeated Mi not thoughtfully. "Ah, yes; we were to watch Mr. Trimmer! I had almost forgot him in the excitement of last evening. By the way, does the Mail know anything about the disappear ance of Chain Lightning's collar?" "Not as yet." smiled Mr. Faddock, "although Mine. On Dit claims to have been a guest at the dinner. By the way, what do yon make of last night's melodramatic farce?" "I don't know what to make of it," answered Minot truthfully. He was suddenly conscious of the necklace in his inside coat pocket. CHAPTER VII. After the Trained Seals. M IXOT and Paddock returned late, and their dinner was cor respondingly delayed. It was l__J 8;3l> o'clock when they at last strolled into the lobby of the De la Tax. There they encountered Miss Meyriek, her father and Lord Har rowby. "We're taking Harrowby to the movies," said Miss Meyriek. "He con fesses he's never been. Won't you come along?" She was one of her gay selves to night—white, slim, laughing, lrrlsistl ble. After the third picture the lights of the auditorium were turned up. and the hour of vaudeville arrived. On to the stage strolled a pert, confident youth garbed in shabby grandeur, who attempted sidewalk repartee. [To be continued.] A peedy, reliable doctor's prescription (or relief of colds and coughs.

C., Nov. 27. —Lob- bying on a seale never before seen, but of a sort which will stand tlie pitiless publicity searchlight, will be carried on at this session of Congress beginning next Monday by the 'Na tional American Woman Suffrage As sociation. A new Washington com mittee, consisting of about twenty of the most prominent women of the country, has been appointed and will work day and night, whenever they can get the national legislators to listen, for the national suffrage amendment. With assurances of enough support to insure a vote on the amendment in both houses at the coming session, the women will work with a view to mak ing such a good showing at this ses sion that their work next session, or when the Congress just elfected is as sembled, will be simplified. They are quite confident of final victory at that time. Mrs. Boissevain, Noted Suffragist, Is Dead Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 27. Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain, widely known suffragist and welfare worker, died in a hospital here shortly before midnight Saturday after an illness of ten weeks. She was thirty years old. Mrs. Boissevain was stricken sud denly while addressing an audience here in the recent political campaign and fainted on the platform at the meeting. She was removed to a hos pital, and her husband and parents came from New York to join her. Miss Vida Milholland, her sister, was with her when she was stricken and has been in constant attendance since that time. Mrs. Boissevain's illness was diag nosed as apalastic anaemia, and blood transfusion was resorted to in at tempts to improve her condition. Her sister twice gave blood for this pur pose, and on four other occasions friends submitted to the ordeal in the hope that benefit would result. After each transfusion temporary improve ment was followed by relapse. A few days ago the physicians in charge stated that there was virtually no ! hope, but thereafter Mrs. Boissevain rallied and it was thought she might When Itching Stops 'J There is one safe, dependable treat ment that relieves itching torture and skin irritation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin.
