12 WOMEN'S INTERESTS I A GIRL AND A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van 'k: Water CHAPTER LXIV (Copyright, 1916, Star Company.) Agnes Morley's preoccupation left her suddenly as Randolph Pickens came into the room. The Southerner's eyes had dark rings about them;' in each hollow cheek a red spot glowed. "Good day, Miss Morley!" he said In a strained voice. "I thank you for allowing mo the privilege of calling upon you. I hope you have recovered from your indisposition yesterday. As her fingers touched his she was chocked to note tha his hand was dry and hot. Surely he was ill. "I cannot remain long," he said. "But I felt that I must see for myself that all was well with you, must tell you that if you ore still in need of money I will consider it an honor if yon will allow me to assist you"— ' "Oh, thank you," Agnes interposed hastily. "I —I—am hoping ' that all will go well, but you must not give the matter another thought. I am asham ed"—a flood of crimson flowing over her face —"when I remember how I gave way to my weakness and fear the other night. I want to say how eorry I am that I showed such cowar dice, such"— She got no further, for Pickens sprang to his feet, his agitation mak ing his voice tremble. "Stop!" he said sharply. "For Heaven's sake, don't say you are sorry for what you told me! For I am glad '—yes, glad—even though"— He hesitated, then added abruptly: "You know that that dog will never trouble you again?" Her companion looked at her strangely. . "Why don't you speak?" he de manded. "Surely you are glad that the creature is dead—dead, do you hear? You are glad, I say! Tell me you are!" In spite of his anguished entreaty she could not reply in the affirmative. "I can be if —if—l mean—Oh, Mr. Pickens—X can't make you understand unless I tell you the truth! I love the man who has been accused of the murder. That is all I can think of— that Philip Hale is innocent and his life is in danger. Nothing else mat ters!" She buried her face in her hands, Doivt wait for to heal your skiiv— "Oh it will get well anyhow 1" you say ? Perhaps it will, and perhaps it won't. Maybe it will get worse instead.

Randolph Pickens was gazing ahead of him, his face drawn and haggard, his eyes staring. Rising, she laid her hand on his arm. "Mr. Pickens,' 'she said, "you are not well. You must go home." With an effort he brought himself back to his surroundings. ::Yes, yps," he stammered; "I must go home. You are right—l am not well. You say that young Hale—l have been ill—l haven't read the pa pers, haven't heard"— She must persuade him to go away! He had fever, she was sure. Perhaps he was delirious. "You ought to go home!" she re peated. "Yes, I am going," he rejoined. "Forgive me for taking so much of your time." Yet when he started to leave the room he turned his haggard face once more towardg her. "I suppose you will know more about this matter —the matter of the murder to-morrow —or soon, won't you? Surely they will not let an inno cent man be tried for that which an other man did." His assumption that Philip was in nocent startled her Into a swift out burst of gratitude. "Oh!" she exclaimed, "you do be lieve that he is innocent—you do be lieve it, don't you?" "I know that he is innocent," he said. "I will tell everybody' the truth about it. I have cause for knowing that he is innocent." "Cause?" she ejaculated eagerly. "Good cause —some proof that would help acquit him? Are you sure?" For the moment she forgot her sus picions as to his sanity. "Yes," he replied. "Then," swept pn by her fear, her love, she grasped at this straw of hope, "will you come here to-morrow after noon at 3 o'clock and tell his father and lawyer about it? Will you?" "Yes, I will come,"s he said dully. Again he started from the room. "It is for your sake," he muttered as he reached the door. "It's all been for your sake." w But his voice was so low that &cdid not catch what ho said. (To Be Continued.) STRIPED GALATEA IN SCHOOL FROCK White Collar, Cuffs and Belt Make a Pretty Contrast to the Heavier Stripes By MAY MANTON 9210 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Girl's Dreßs, 4 to 10 years. Here, is a frock especially designed foi •chool wear. _ It is made with bloomers to match and it is appropriate for all the simple childlike materials, for serge and for wool fabrics of such sort, for linen, piqui, galatea and gingham, all of which are worn for school throughout the winter. In the picture, a striped galatea is trimmed with plain and the panel is cut on the cross. Such treatment always makes a good effect, but the panel can be used for a contrasting material or for a match ing material that is trimmed or braided or embroidered, or it can be made simply plain, as it is in the small front view. The bloomers are of the circular sort, con sequently, they are smooth over the hips while they are abundantly full at the knees. For the 8 year size the dress will require, 3 yards of material 36 inches wide, yards 44 or 2\i yards 54, with H yard 36 inches wide for trimming and for the bloomers, I yards of any width. The pattern No. 9210 is cut in sizes for girls from 4to 10 years of age. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cent*. (GEORGE H.

I "AT THE SIGN OF TIIE DIAL" FEDERAL SQUARE I NO JUMP IN COST OF MAKING PAPER Tables Prepared by Tedcral Commission Show Dealers Get Big Profits Washington, Dec. 13. The Fed eral Trade Commission reopened hearings here to-day in its investiga tion of the rise in news print paper prices, presenting facts gathered by investigators In the plants of American and Canadian manufacturers. Pro ducers, jobbers and paper users were heard. Tables prepared by the com mission were brought out at the hear ing to show the following conditions: "Both Canadian and United States averages show n increase in cost of paper manufactured in the first half of 1916 as compared with 1915. Selling expenses in the first half of 1916 were lower than in 1915 and profits per ton were higher. The per centage of profit on investment, fig ured on book investment, increased from 5.92 per cent, in 1915 for nine teen companies, to 9.3 4 per cent, for fifteen companies in the first half of 1916. Rates of profit on the cost of investment would have been even CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Uvaya bears i nature ot HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH higher could the figures have been ob tained. Market prices increased in 1916 to a much greater extent than contract prices. Canadian mills are manufacturing print paper at about $4.50 a ton less than American mills. Industry Shows Increase Both production and imports in creased in the first half of 1916 over 1915 and 1914. After 1 deducting ex ports the quantity available for do mestic consumption In the first half of 1916 was 17 per cent, greater than In the second half of that year. Deliv eries, however, more than took care of the increase and stocks on hand at all points decreased 10.340 tons ln the first half of 1916. The statistical data presented by the commission phases of which those who testified were asked to explain, concluded with a series of questions as to possible remedies. They were: "What measures can he adopted to bring about a more equitable distribu tion of paper among publishers? What measures can be adopted to prevent prices from rising to prohibi tive levels? Is co-operation between large pub lishers and manufacturers feasible? Would an embargo 6n exports be advisable? Would publishers profit in the long run by refraining from entering into contracts covering a long period of time at a fixed price?" Can small publishers profit by adopting the plan of co-operative buying?" At the outset of the hearing it developed that the commission had surprised the paper makers by the amount and scope of information it had gathered since the last hearing and upon which it asked the paper manufacturers for explanations. The manufacturers protested vigorously that the proceeding was unfair, that it was not such treatment as they would receive ln court and asked for an opportunity to confer among them selves. The commission held decision on the point in abeyance while It pro ceeded to hear representatives of the publishers, j Elks and Moose Plan Christmas Cheer For Poor ■ Members of Harrisburg Lodge No. 12, B. P. O. Elks, and Harrisburg Lodge No. 107, Loyal Order of Moose, are planning for the annual distribu tion of holiday cheer. Both organiza tions will have Christmas trees for poor children.

In addition to this feature the usual distribution of baskets to needy families will bo made. The Christmas committee is now making collections, and the baskets tilled with groceries will go out on Christmas morning. The Moose are making elaborate preparations for this year. They will distribute food and clothing to grown folks and will give the youngsters a dinner at the home. A Christmas tree will be erected and filled with gifts. Complete plans will be an nounced later. MAIL DKMVERY CHANGK More Boxen He Inn For the Ac romodntlon of the I'ubllo A change ln downtown mall delivery has been announced by Postmaster Frank C.
