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

TUESDAY EVENING,
door behind him us William Hule en
tered the living room.
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."

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. It draws out the inflammation, I
I soothes away the pain, usually giving |
quick relief.
Musterole is a clean, white oint-1
ment, made with oil of mustard. 1
Better than a mustard plaster and:
does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly j
recommend Musterole for sore throat, |
bronchitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma,
neuralgia, congestion, pleurisy, rhcu- j
matism, lumbago, pains and aches of |
the back or joints, sprains, sore mus
cles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet—
colds of the chest (it often prevents
pneumonia). It is always dependable.

2,000,000 SEED
TREES AVAILABLE
Department of Forestry Will
Distribute Pines, Spruce,
Lurch and Ash
v
The Department of Forestry an
nouncer! to-day that 2,000,000 forest
tree need lings will l>e available for
free distribution in the Spring of 1917.
The following species make up the
n umber:
White pine. 1,250,000: Scotch pine,
410,000; pitch pine, 200,000; Norway
spruce. 75.000: European larch, r>.-
000; Japanese larch, 5,000: sugar ma
ple. 5,000: white ash. 5,000.
These are the seedlings over and
above these which will be planted on
State forests. Anyone can secure an
allotment of these trees if he. will
promise to use them* for reforesting
within (lie State of Pennsylvania. No
trees will be furnished for shade or
ornamental planting, nor will any i
shipments be made in less than live
hundred lots.
The trees are two and three years
old, and from live to ten inches high.
Shipments will begin from the big for
est nurseries about April 1. but appli
cation for trees may be made at any
time 10 the Comniisioners of Forestry, !
The only expense which applicants are
asked to bear is a nominal charge for
packing and shipping, which will aver- I
age about twenty-live cents per thou- I
•sand seedlings.
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.

Cochran came to New York City in
