OF INTEREST TO A GIRL AND A MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van Water CHAPTER LNIX. (Copyright, 1916, Star Company.) Dinner in the little Hat that night wont off happily. Miss Lucy sat. in her own chair at the head ot' the table, propped up by pillows and smiling serenely. "it reminds me of the nice supper we had the night of the day you got your position with llale & Bain bridge," the elderly woman remarked reniiniscently. "But then we went to a moving picture show afterward. To night we won't do that. I wonder if I will ever be well enough to go about again as 1 used to." "Surely you will!" Agnes rejoined. "Dr. Martin says that you will be stronger than before your illness." "Won't that be wonderful!" Miss Lucy smiled ecstatically. "Well, I am just going to believe the best. The Lord's been so good to me that it would bo very ungrateful of me if I did not trust Him for the rest." "Indeed it would!" Agnes agreed. Yet she was woqdering how much she. herself, was trusting. She tried not to be anxious, for she was happy in Phil's love for her. But there were timps when she felt as if the attitude of his family, and the fact that he had .Mill two years at college, stood like a stone wall between the present and their future life together. "What are you going to do this evening?" Miss Lucy asked. Agues waited until Jennie had gone from the dining room before reply ing— "Phil is coming to see you, dear. He asked if he might come. X told him 1 was sure you would be clad to see him. You will, won't you?" "Yes, indeed—very glad," Miss Lucy answered. "He is such a dear young man. I wonder"—as she pushed her chair back from the table—"if I might not just lie down in my room for a little while —if it would not be all right for me to have him come in there and chat for a few minutes? Then you and he could have the par lor to yourselves." "No, Auntie." Agnes said sternly, "you are planning to get yourself out of the way for our sakes. You must not do that." "Oh, no—really, dear,. I think I would be niore comfortable in my own room," the invalid insisted. So earnest was she about it that Agnes decided to seem to believe her unseH tish fraud. Another Caller Thus it came about that, after she had greeted Philip Hale, Agnes led him toward Miss Lucy's room, but at the door he checked her. "Darling," he said, "I am going in to see your aunt, but I want you to stay here in the living room. Some one is coming to call on you in a minute. I left him at the front door to take the stairs more slowly than I was willing to take them." "Some one to see me!" Agnes ex-1 claimed. "What do you mean? Who is it?" "Some one with good news." he told her tenderly. "Agnes, darling, kiss me once more, for I am very happy." Then he released her and slipped into Miss Lucy's room, closing the Most everyone's going to COLUMBIA—io AIFvEN- \ to AUGUSTA -to A SUE VILLE - LAND of the SKY \ everything there for pleasure and health!

Without a word, Philip's father came to Agnes aud held out both hands, "My dear," he said simply, "I have some to tell you that I hope you and Philip will be married soon—that his mother and I both wish it." "Oh!" Agnes shrank back for an instant, doubting the evidence of her own ears. "We can't yet —you arc' very kind—but I cannot until" —- "Until what?" The man's voice was stern and ho looked at her with an intensity that made her answer frank ly. "Not until Phil has done what you demanded of him. Not until he is able to support himself —and me. Not until"—with a proud lifting of the head—"he and 1 have proved that his marriage will not be his undoing." William Hale laid his hand on her shoulder. "My dear," he said, "you have been the making of Philip—not the undoing. His mother and I both know that now —though 1 acknowl edge with shame that we were blind at tirst. We want to welcome you as our boy's wife. As to his college course, I cannot allow him to tii)ish that now. 1 need a partner. Philip is capable of tilling that position. I am taking him into the firm. Now dear," patting her cheek, "don't you think that he will be able to support a wife?" Fifteen minutes later Agnes Morley went softly into her aunt's room. She found Philip sitting by the invalid's bed, talking cheerfully, although a keen observer would have noticed that his manner was preoccupied. But Miss Lucy was not a keen observer. Every One Happy. He sprang to his feet as Agnes en tered, and, going to her, put his arm about her. "Has he gone? Is it all right?" he whispered. She nodded and tried to speak, but "O Phil!" was all that she could mur mur. "What's the matter?" Miss Morley asked, looking at her niece's tiusluil cheeks. "Has anything happened?" "Yes," Philip answered for her. "Yes, Aunt Lucy, something has hap pened. Agnes is going to"— But Agnes checked him by laying her hand over his lips. "Yes, Aunt," she said, as Philip, drew her to her aunt's side, "you re-1 member that I told you 1 would get a ( new position? Well, I have one." "One—one—" Miss Lucy faltered,, "one that will make it possible for you i to bear the murden of me —that will make it possible for you and me to be l together—just as we have always j been?" "Yes, dearest," Agnes said, "togeth- j cr—just as we have always been." Then, as the invalid gazed wonder ingly at the happy faces above her, Philip spoke quickly. "Dear Aunt Lucy," he said, "do you know what the new position is? Well—it's one that will make me, all undeserving as I am—the most blessed of all men. Agnes' new position, dear, will be that of my wife!"

Why They Call Him Garry; Starts Among Printers Philadelphia, Dec. 19.-—lt's really August, and not Garry, that first name belonging to Mr. Hermann, chairman -of the national commission, who suc cessfully defended his title in a battle with Battling Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburgh, last week in New York. The pudgy Mr. Hermann told how he had the nickname tacked on to him. "I had just been made 'devil' in a printing place in Cincinnati," he ex plained. "when the newspapers were full of news about Garibaldi, the fam ous Italian patriot, who was lighting to put Italy in the sun. "i was short, broad-shouldered and extremely green. The printers at once nick-named me Garibaldi. In time the*- shortened it to Garry. The name stuck all through my life, and to-day nine-tenths of my mail is ad dressed to Garry Hermann." ma smtn I WITHJPRALGIA Musterole Gives Delicious Comfort j When those sharp pains go shooting j through your head, when your skull ' seems as if it would split, just rub a ! little Musterole on the temples and j I neck.

A bulletin giving detailed instruc tions on what, when and how to plant is now in the hands of the State Print er, and copies will be sent to anyone who makes request. In cases'Svhere it. is practicable, the Department of Forestry will detail one of the Forest Service men to supervise the planting operations. Applications are coming in almost daily, and indications are that the demand in 1917 will far exceed last year's record. Almost 1,500.000 seed lings were planted by private indi viduals in 1916. Farmer's Wife Tells Her Side of High Price of Turkey Controversy Take it from "Only a Farmer's ■ Wife," the Telegraph's latest letter writer on the high cost of turkey problem, there are two sides to the tale; facetious suggestions to exchange an automobile for a national fowl elicited the letter. Here it is: To the Editor of the Telegraph: "Dear Sir: When I noticed a recent I piece in the paper about someone i wishing to trade his auto for a tur key, I wondered if the city man with j i car ever thinks that which he and his j : family are enjoying themselves, what jit cost the farmer's wife in gruelling! j work and disappointment? How she j ! has to attend to the young poultry; how, at the approach of every thun- j der or rain storm, her duties are to gather the little fowls into a dry place; } how she risks a thorough soaking in | the rain to do it; how she must take j care of the old ones from season to j season—while corn is never less than I 75 cents to $1 a bushel, and wheat ie $1 to $1.60: how she must carefully j scald the milk which is used to feed | the young turkeys;how 3he must fig- j lire 'jut the problem of efficiency and j economy in feeding the small grain j with prices at $3.20 per hundred weight; how, when the young turkeys arc practically ready for market, tht j heart-breaking appearance of "black head" may turn a whole summer's i work with a possible profit at the end into a—loss: how sometimes, the ratio of death is as much as thirtv to thirty- out of forty. Nor is that all. _ Not so long ago ail automobile load ed with six men stopped at the mar- j kot where we were unloading our wa gon. The men slurringly referred to | the "robber farmer" and their pro- I fanlty was something awful, upkeep of an automobile have been I compared; but one cannot buy vegeta- j bles and booze, too. Produce is high, but the farmers are up against the same problem as the city man, so far as labor is concerned. Then, too, | there is the increased cost of machin- | cry; the increased cost of grinding the I corn into meal. Driving to market requires constant care in seeing that the horses are shod and that the wagon is kept in good shape. Bridge toll, stall rent, etc., fig ure in the cost. Dry spots are as scarce in number as rain drops in drought time. In winter and Spring the roads are full of mild holes although in summer and Fall the State roads are in pret ty good shape. For everybody else, it seems 14 me, there is at least one day of rest — Sunday. The farmer's wife, however, works every day in the week—and works hard. ONLY A FARMER'S WIFE. H. M.
