10 OF INTEREST T A GIRL AND A MAN A New find Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van 4e Water CHAPTER LXIII. (Copyright, 1916, Star Company.) In spite of Dr. Martin's •warning, Ag nes was up and dressed the following *norning by ten o'clock. A letter had come for her by mall. It contained but a few lines, yet It had the effect of Arousing her will-power to action. For the letter was from her em ployer, and had been written the pre ceding evening. "They have telephoned me from the office," It ran, "that by your doctor's orders you are at home and nre suf fering from overstrained nerves. Are you able to see me? There is some thing I must say to you. Wire a reply to my house." Agnes sent Jennie out with a tele gram containing the four words, "I will see you" and her signature. Then she forced herself to take a cup of black coffee and to eat some food. The thought that she would now hear news of the man she loved Bfirved her even while it made her hnrt beat with fear and excitement. Yet it was a calm young person who greeted William Hale when, early in the afternoon, he was shown Into the tiny parlor. She was pale, but self possessed, and any thought of resent ment toward the man facing her melt ed into a great pity as she looked at him. "Mr. Hale," she said Impulsively, "please sit down! Isn't there some thing I can do for you?" Afterward she could remember only . part of the conversation that fol lowed. She remembered that her em ployer, grown old since she had last seen him. only two days ago, asked her a few rapid questions as to her feeling for his son, that he told her that when he had gone to his boy in the Tombs Philip acknowledged to him that he had loved Agnes for months, that she had not consented to an engagement because of his father's opposition, that all the work he had done at college had been because of her encouragement, and, last of all, that he had forced from her the con fession of Bainbridgo's insults. "And now," Philip Hale's father de manded, "I want you to tell me, as if you were on oath —were all those things true?" She looked straight into his eyes. "As true as my love for your soil, Mr. Hale!" For an Instant she thought that he would upbraid her, perhaps burst forth Into angry reproach. Instead, he took her hand in his as if she were his only hope in the horror and dis grace that were crushing htm. A Pact Made "Girl," he said, "listen to me! Be tween us we must save him!" "Tell me everything," she ordered The voice in which she spoke did not sound to her like her own. He told in as few words as possible What Philip's statement had been. On 1 —and avoid Genuine i>ara ' SJjtnatur*e ' I t > The \ \ Carbo j Granules Back of the transmitter |p diaphragm of your Bell tele phone there is a tiny brass W drum partly filled with carbon § crushed to about the size of 0 / granulated sugar. Here that /y little drum is shown, with the j bar that holds it. The function of the granu lar carbon is to take the vibrations from the diaphragm and send them out over the wires in varying impulses. If the telephone is held in your hand and tipped downward as you talk, your voice will sound "far off" because the little granules fall away from the diaphragm. If it is held above your lips and you talk up to it, the little granules "pack" against the diaphragm and your voice will sound "muddy" and "thick" to the listener. The Bell transmitter is designed for mo3t effective use, local and long distance alike, when the telephone stand is resting on a flat, level sur face. You can help to safeguard the high quality of your service by holding your telephone in that position only. €niE BKI.I. TF.I.EPHOXK rn. ,p S HARMSBCRG, PA. Try it for Soodness Convenience penbroow MONDAY EVENING, hearing: Agnes' story, the lover. In a passion of rage, had gone to Bain bridge's rooms. The hall boy at the apartment house had told him that Balnbridge was not at home. Philip had gone away saying that he would return later. Because lie had been too much agitated to keep still, he had taken a long walk uptown, and. as he walked .saner thoughts had come to him. He had suddenly realized that to at tack Balnbridge would mean to give publicity to what had pas3ed between this man and Agnes, that it would make her name common property. Any punishment that he might inflict upon Balnbridge would recoil upon the fair reputation of her whom he. Philip Hale, must shield. And. as he mused, he decided that he would wait until to-morrow, would think the matter over beforo venting his revenge upon his enemy. So ho had gone home. "That is all." William Hale said, his his voice sinking to a whisper—"ex cept that—that—Phil was arrested— charged with murder." "And he is innocent!" The girl's exclamation was so sud den, so triumphant, that *tho father looked at her in surprise. "You do believe it—don't you?" he asked eagerly. "Believe it! Why I know it!" she burst forth. "Phil says so—and of course it's true!" Agnes Ts Confident Tears sprang to the weary eyes into which she gazed. The stern man spoke tremulously. "God bless you, my child—but —can wq prove it?" "We must—we will!" she declared. The relief of learning of Philip's innocence had for the moment made her forget that others might not cre dit his statement as did she and his father. It was not until she was again alone that an appreciation of what might be ahead of the man she loved caused her heart to sink with a sicken ing fear. She recollected that Mr. Hale had promised to come back to-morrow af ternoon with his lawyer. They were then to talk the whole matter over. But what could they do? How could they prove the truth? She wrung her hands and walked the floor in an anguish of dread as she faced the aw ful possibilities. A tap on the door made her pause in her restless passing. Jennie entered in response to her "come in!" "Please ma'am." the maid said, "here's a gentleman calling. He says his name's Mr. Perkins. He came to see you yesterday, but I told him you were too sick to see anybody. He says It's important that he sees you." "Let him come in," Agnes said me chanically. In her preoccupation it was the only thing she could think of saying. (To Be Continued.)
