OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
A GIRL AND A MAN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van 'k; Water
CHAPTER LXT.
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company.)
The few hours of sleep that came
to Agnes Morley that night were dis
turbed by dreams of Philip Hale.
In the intervals of wakefulness she
reqollected that she had not heard
from him since he had left her with
the threat against Balnbridge on his
lips.
With the morning, she dragged her
self wearily from her bed. and dressed
herself slowly. All energy had left
her. A hundred possibilities com
bined to trouble her. and she started
nervously as a ring at the doorbell
sounded through the flat.
She hurried out into the hall and
met Jennie holding in her hand a tele
gram as if she were afraid it might
explode and cause fatal injury.
"Sure, ma'am." the maid began,
"Whatever do you suppose this is for
*t this hour of the morpin' "
But she stopped abruptly as Agnes
enatched the envelope from her and
tore it open, then gasped with relief
as she read the contents.
"It's from Dr. Martin," she explain
ed. "Miss Morley was operated on
yesterday afternoon. She is doing
very well."
She caught her breath with a little
sob. but no tears came to her eyes.
"You'll be wanting to go to see her,
■won't you, Miss Agmes?" Jennie ask
ed.
"Yes; soon after breakfast I will,"
Agnes said.
Then she turned back into her own
room and shut the door. She felt
that she must be alone for a little
while before facing even Jennie.
The Paper Not There
Perhaps Philip and Bainbridge liad
quarreled. Perhaps one of them had
been hurt. She had good cause, she
reflected bitterly, to know that Bain
brldge had a violent temper. He was
big and powerful.
Then she reminded herself that her
aunt was safe. Yes—she was glad this
*as so. But she wished that she
might hear from Phil!
She did not notice Jennie's silence
as the girl brought her a cup of cof
fee and set it down by her. Agnes
only glanced about for the morning
paper which usually came long before
this hour. Jennte saw the look, and
spoke before her mistress could ques
tion her.
"Your paper's not here. Miss Mor
ley," she stammered.

THURSDAY EVENING,
"Not here yet?" Agnes queried.
"That's strange. Have you looked
outside the door for It?"
"Yes, ma'am, and it's not there,"
the girl said hurriedly as she left the
room.
Down in the bottom of the paper
box in the kitchen lay the morning
journal where Jennie had thrust it an
hour ago. As she went about her
work with trembling hands the bold
black headline she had seen on the
first page repeated itself over and over
in her mind.
"Importer Shot. Partner's Son
Held For Slaying."
Agues Kilts I,ittle
At another time the maid's man
ner would have arrested Agnes' atten
tion. Now, however, her thoughts
were too much occupied by her pro
blems and fears for er to look be
yond them.
"I am going out to telephone." Ag
nes announced as she pushed her
chair back from the table. "I shall
probably bo back before I go to the
hospital. X am only going to the cor
ner to call up the office and find out if
I am needed there this morning."
The druggist nodded to her pleas
antly "as she entred the store where
she wa3 in the habit of dealing. Re
turning his salutation absent-minded
ly she went into the booth and gave
the number with which she was so
familiar.
"No," a hostile voice replied to
her query as to whether Mr. Hale was
in. "He ain't in and won't be in to
day. Good-by."
"Why Joe!" Agnes exclaimed as she
recognized the red-headed clerk's
tone. "This is Miss Morley. I want
to know if Mr. Hale wants me to
day."
"Gee, I don't know!" the lad re
plied. "I don't snppose he'll be in at
all to-day. It's terrible, isn't it?"
"What's terrible?" the girl asked.
"Didn't you see the mornin' paper?"
the boy demanded, a ring of excite
ment betraying his joy at being able
to impart information of a thrilling
character. "Why Mr. PhUip shot Mr.
Bainbrldge last night and killed him.
He's in the Tombs now. Isn't that ter
rible enough?"
But the girl did not reply. She
raised one hand weakly and hung the
receiver on the hook, then her knees
gave way under her, and she sank
down into darkness.

Snug Bath Robe Just the Thing
to Wear These Chilly
Mornings
By MAY M ANTON
0220 (With Busting Line and Added
Seam Allowance ) Cnild's Bath Robe,
2 to 8 years.
Here is a little bath robe that will de
light the young wearer and make him
thoroughly cosey and comfortable no
matter how cold the morning may be.
It is a simple little robe and it is a smart
little robe at the same time. It is easy to
make so that mother can undertake it
without hesitancy, and it is just as cosey
as it can be. In the picture, it is made
from a flannel with ribbon bandings but
flannel means eiderdown and the regular
bath robe flannels and also the lighter
weights. Which will be better will de
pend entirely upon where the little owner
is sleeping, how cold his room is likely to
be and special conditions of the sort.
The pockets are placed exactly as are
those worn by the big folk, so that the
little child will be made very happy by
that possession. Either a cord or a* belt
can be used to confine the robe. In the
smaller front view, it is shown made of
eiderdown flannel in pale blue and is
bound with wash silk. That combination
is practical for the materials both are
washable. In tact, all the materials that
are suggested for bath robes of the kind
can be cleansed with soap and water for
such condition is absolutely essential for
the children's garments, "the collar can
be buttoned up about the throat or rolled
open. ,
For the 4 year size will be needed,
yards of material 37 or 36 inches wide,
2\i yards 44, with 5 yards of banding to
trim as shown on the figure.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff
There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at anv
drug store. It is Inexpensive, and four
jounces is all you will need. This sim
ple remedy has never been known to
fail.—Advertisement.

MORE WHEAT HAS
BEEN SOWN HERE
State Reports Indicate an In
crease in Acreage Devoted
to the Cereal
Large increases in the acreage sown
to wheat for 1917 harvest are noted In
the reports received by the State De
partment of Agriculture, which places
the present acreage at 1,373,500 acres,
as compared with 1,333,000 acres last
season.
The department says In its bulletin:
"The Increased acreage is due to the
large demand and increased price re
ceived for 1916 wheat and shows about
3 per cent, increase in the State.
Increases are shown in Bedford, Brad
ford, Crawford, Elk, Erie, Indiana,
Pike, Tioga and York counties. The
wheat was sown late this fall in order
to avoid the ravages of the Hessian fly
and few reports of the presence of the
fly in 1916 wheat have been reported.
In many parts of the State a drought
prevailed at seeding time and this
made it necessary to wait for more
favorable conditions. The condition
of the wheat in the ground for this
season of the year stands at 98 per
cent, and the grain, in most instances,
gained a good start before the ground
froze. It is estimated that the area
seeded to rye is 263,400 acres, which
is 1 per cent, smaller than the area
seeded one year ago. The condition
of rye In the ground is slightly below
the average at this season of the year.
Columbia, Delaware, Greene and Lack
awanna counties show increases In
acreage."
The department also announced that
the smallest buckwheat crop that has
been reported in years was produced
on the Pennsylvania farms during the
past season. Reports to the depart
ment make the estimated production
4,480,000 bushels, about four-fifths of
an average crop.
year's crop was estimated al
5,540,000 bushels, an average of 20
bushels to an acre, while the average
this year was only 16 bushels to an
acre. Districts which last year pro
duced an average of from 20 to £6
bushels to an acre show yields of from
18 to 22 bushels to an acre, while the
low average of 12 bushels last season
has been reached in mahy counties
this year, some going as low as 7 and 9
bushels to an acre. The best average
yields were obtained in Bedford, Berks,
Bucks, Center, Dauphin, Mont
gomery and Northampton counties.
The season was not a good one for
successful buckwheat production. Con
ditions were unfavorable at seeding
time and the drought and hot sun
when the grain was in bloom had their
damaging effect.

and nothing else will loosen a cough or
