20 OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN A GIRL AND A MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van 'ie Water CHAPTER LXVI. (Copyright, 1916, Star Co.) What would that "best" be that •he could do? Agnes asked herself as she turned away from the hos pital. She could look forward to nothing beyond the fear that was Harping common sense and ju'dginent. She must do something, must go somewhere to evade it. Sho did not dare go back home and face another period of waiting until 3 o'clock this afternoon. She ■would walk, that is what she would do—walk and try to make physical exercise keep her from thinking. On and on she walked, heedless of her surroundings, until her aching limbs reminded her that she was over taxing her strength. Where should she go now? If she could only get near Philip—could only see the kind of place In which they were keeping him! Looking about her, sh® saw that •he was at the Fourteenth street sub way station. One day, weeks ago, she had passed the Tombs unthink ingly, with only a glance In the drec tlon of the prison and a slight, but not distressing, shudder at the thought that only vile criminals were there. She recalled now that she and Annie Rooney had been walking to gether at the time. "It's nicer to be on the outside looking in than on the Inside looking out!" Annie had laughed, pointing out the jail to her companion. She Sees an Old Friend. Was she—the Agnes Morley who was at this minute boarding a down town subway train—the same girl who used to come down to business each morning—the same girl who had allowed Annie Rooney to speak con temptuously of prisoners—who had even laughed at the heartless com ments? Leaving the train at Worth street she turned her steps first north, then east. A something which she could not analyze forced her to torture her self by coming to this part of the city even while fear made her shrink from going any farther. At liist. turning a corner, she came face to face with the place that had occupied her thoughts. The Criminal Courts Building was in front of her. Next to it. standing sinister and menacing. was*the edifice that people epeak of so lightly as "The Tombs." And connecting the two was the cov ered passage known as "The Bridge of Sighs." "It's through there that the crim inals are taken into court for trial," Annie had explained. For an awful moment now Agnes Ptood still, gazing at these buildings. Somewhere those walls was " Jy 0 OJLceM PHYSICIANS TREATMENT FOR THROAT, CHEST AND LUNG TROUBLES You Just Rub it on Over Throat and Clicst—Relieves by Inhalation and Alisorption.

Over that bridge he would sometime walk to his trial. In that place with the significant name—"The Criminal Courts Build ing"—he would hear his sentence spoken. Would it be With a gasp* of horror she turned and tied. She did not know that she was running until she came, hot and panting, once moro to the top of the subway steps. As she hurried down these sho almost collided with a wo man who was coming up. She re coiled as she recognized Arabella Durkee. then tried to pass her. "Good afternoon," that severe young person said, and before Agnes could return her greeting, she added, "I sympathize with you on having failed in carrying out your carefully planned scheme!" _ The taunt was so cruel that Agriea could not reply. The sound of a train coming into the station gave her an excuse for pushing past her persecu tor and going on down the steps. Seated in the car she leaned back and closed her eyes in sheer ex haustion, nor did she open them again until she heard the guard call out the street near which she lived. The Two Men Arrive. She had time only to lay off her hut and to smooth her hair when the two men arrived. She was glad to be allowed no leisure in which to think. "This Is Mr. Driscoll, my lawyer," Miss Morley," Mr. Hale announced as she greeted him. Mr. Driscoll, a shrewd-looking man, bowed in acknowledgement of the in troduction. "Mr. Driscoll knows all that Philip has told me," the father said. "But, my dear, you must tell him every thing that you recall of the conversa tion between you and my son the last time you were together. It is for Phil's sake, you know." "Yes." she said. "I know. I will do my best. On that day" She stopped abruptly as a bell rang out sharply. "Oh!" she exclaimed, "that is Mr. Pickens, I think. I must tell you be fore he comes In all about him, please. He is coming to meet you here —for he thinks —he says—he can tell you some things that will prove Phil's innocence." She was embarrassed as well as frightened. The lawyer's keen eyes seemed to read her through and through, and she had a sudden con viction that she should not have allowed Randolph Pickens to come to-day. "Why should he be here?" William Hale asked sharply. "Does he know Phil?" "No—that is, he only mef him once." "Then," Mr. Driscoll began severe ly. "why is he here? What under heaven has he to do with this case. Miss Morley?" "Everything. The deep voice of a man who stood in the doorway made all turn quickly. Pickens harl entered noiselessly. The color that had burned In his cheeks yesterday was gone. He was deadly pale, but his voice was firm. "I heard what you said, sir," he went on. "I have everything to do with the case. I killed H&sbrook Balnbridge. I am glad of It. I did it," he added simply, "because he had insulted the woman I loved." (To Be Continued.)

GIFT APRONS ARE MOST DESIRABLE Every Woman Likes to Have These Dainty Little Use ful Articles By MAY MANTON / o8 (Wt/A Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Fancy Aprons, One Size. What prettier holiday gift could b% offered than a pretty apron. Here are three charming models. The bag apron and the apron with the pockets are. perhaps, especially suitable for fancy work, but the apron with the scalloped lower edge is available for the chafing dish supper or for the afternoon tea or for any such occasion. Here, the bag apron is made of fine lawn with embroidery for the pocket and embroidered edging. The other two aprons are made of fine white lawn, one trimmed with a frill of the 6ame and one with lace. Dimities are pretty for aprons of this kind, too, and if something more sturdy is wanted chambray could be used. K<ve col ored chambray would be very pretty for the apron with the pocket and bib extension, and a little pink and white embroidery would make a pretty edge. The bag apron would be charm ing made from dimity with a crossed stitch design worked on the pocket. The aprons can be finished with tie ends or with belts as preferred. To make the bag apron will be needed, yard of material 36 inches wide vith 5* yard of em broidery 11 inches wide for the pocket; for the round apron with the bib, 114 yards 27 or 36 and for the scalloped apron, $4 yard of either width with Iyards of insertion and 3 yards of edging.

Stone Upholds U S. Right to Initiate Peace Move St. Louis, Dec. 15. —The right of a neutral which has suffered from the effects of the European war, particu larly the right of the United States, to initiate a movement for peace, was as serted here last night before the League to Enforce Peace by Senator Stone, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "Since the war has, almost from the beginning, resulted in continuing of fensive attacks on the rights and dignity of this sovereignty and in in flicting incalculable injury to our na tional interests—all of which we have borne with patience because of our friendship for the nations involved," said Senator Stone, "it seems to me that after endurinp these attacks and suffering these losses for nearly two and a half years, with no end yet in sight, that we have a right, without regard to any question of sympathy or humanity, but solely on our own ac count and to safeguard our own Inter ests. to approach the combatants as a mutual friertd and open negotiations with a view to the re-establishment of normal international conditions.
