14 OF INTEREST T WHERE WE'RE WORST Most of us have peculiar ideas of courtesy. For the chance victor In our homes we put on our most beautif'il garments—physical and mental; and when he is gone we put away our best clothe-—oj mind and body. "Home The place where we are treated best and grumble most!" reads a little aphorism which we don't take seriously enough. Home seems to be a place for com plaints and ingratitude and all our unpleasant irritabilities. Why under the sun we should give our best to the people who do not care for us and for whom we do not care. I have never been üble to see. But still more than that, why we should give second rate and third rate atti tudes of mind and body to those whom we love and love us I cannot under stand. But that is what we do Of course we all need relaxation. But if we cannot be alert and well clad in body and mind why not give of our best to those to whom that best means something—instead of to the stranger we meet in passing. Naturally we all want to make good Impressions. We want to enlarge our circle of acquaintances so that from It we may cull a few friends. But that cannot be accomplished more quickly by rudeness or carelessness in our at titudes towards those who truly love us and whom we truly love. Gracious and charming manners are possible to all of us. but they lack real charm until they are so easy and accustomed that they are second na ture.

Actually it is most inefficient to get into the way of slouching around our homes in untidy costumes and in i equally dishevelled and unpleasant mental states. At least it pays to prac tice good manners on those you see everv day and all the time. If you aren't loving enough in your attitude toward your home folk to want them to feel that love is due your personality rather than an acci dent of relationship, your own selllsh desire to get on in the world ought to dictate to you the advisability of being amiable "around the house" so that it will be easy for you to be equally amia ble out in the world! Be scrupulous about keeping up ap pearance even to yourself. Personal fastidiousness has a moral equivalent. Uet into the way of feeling that a tour of Inspection of your heart and mind may be imminent any minute. Be like a soldier who is always ready for I the inspection tour of his superior of ficer. Relaxation doesn't mean torn and soilet garments or irritable and dull mental attitudes. It meanj clean, healthy freedom to sun and air. Ten minutes flat on your back will rest your tired body and mind as well. Take that complete relaxation in the 1 privacy of your own room. But don't ! constantly inflict your family with a state of semlrelaxation which means being a bore and an unsightly creature. Relax when you are alone. And when you join the family circle, be a real addition to it.

Here he was planning his own pleasure out of that re-union; here he was. bathed in the ecstatic happiness of having secured the most J wonderful girl in the world for his j own, and somewhere Harrison Stuart, j Tavy's father and Mrs. Stuart's hus band, was sitting by himself eating j his heart out. Billy felt rotten! By j George, now lie understood why Hal ' had made such a queer break, up in j the office! It was rather a hard jolt j for a father who has spent every j waking minute waiting for the time | when he could fold his long-lost little girl in his arms, to And that a big hulk of a young man was taking her away before that joy could ever occur! Why, by the time Harrison Stuart came to the day of his glorious re union, he wouldn't have any little girl; there would be no Tavy; there would only be a Mrs. Billy Lane! Of j course Hal had worded the thing a ! little strongly, but no wonder! Billy ! felt more and more rotten. He guess- j ed he'd call Hal up, and ho went into the vestibule to do it; but just then ; Mrs. Stuart and Tavy returned to the : parlor, and B\'ly Lane, with startling I suddenness, forgot all about lonely j Harrison Stuart, sitting in the big j chair by the fireplace, gazing motion- , less into the dark corner, where the , logs of winter had cast forth their ■ ruddy glow. Airs. Stuart walked straight up to! Billy, and held out her hand. and. as he took it. she gazed long and i searchingly into his eyes. "You'll be good to my little Tavy. ! always," she said simply, and the young man, looking down at her, and feeling mean and small, somehow, be- j cause he was robbing her of so much, gulped that he would: and he meant' it from the bottom of his heart. He meant it! Tavy knew that he meant it, too. ! There she stood, her dark violet eyes sparkling up at him, and full of such supreme trust and confidence in him that once again Billy felt humble and awkward. Why,-it was a frightening thing to become sacredly responsible for so helplessly a beautiful creature! i Her long lashes curved down over her eves, and they glistened slightly as they flashed in the light. There had been moisture upon them. Billy was silent for some moments in the con templation of the marvelous change which had come over his thoughts and his life. He was responsible for an immense amount to these two wo men, and, by George, he'd prove himself worthy of the responsibility! "Would you rather go out to Wim bol's Inn?" he asked. Both ladies laughed. It was a re lief to hear him. CHAPTER XV A Family Potv-Wow Tommy Tinkle, alone in his room at the club, was the first to receive the glorious news, and Tommy Tinkle was delighted with Billy's good for tune. There was a sincere handclasp, a moment of serious and earnest con gratulation, and then Tommy was his old cheerful self again. If he had re flected sadly that he was soon to lose his life-long companionship with | Billy, he betrayed no sign of it; and if there were shattered dreams which Billy's joy had brought to mind, there was no shadow of them to be seen on his broad face. His wide grin had still in it that familiar whimsicality, as, at Billy's command, he put on his hat. In the tap-room were Sam Lang ster and Jack Greeves and Bert Has selton. Billy stopped long enough ito buy them a bottle of wine, while I Tommy broke the news, and the boys | joined thoroughly in Billy's happiness, so thoroughly that he bought a sec ond bottle before he and Tommy went out into the night. It was a glorious world, full of noth ing but pleasure! It was a world full of friends, full of opportunities, full of triumphs, full of bliss! Possibly there were such things as tragedies, but those were remote and to be expressed only in words, like the bombastic rentiments of a school-boy. They were unreal, and by no means to be written in hearts blood. Only hap piness was real; happiness and love! They took a long drive in the fresh night air, Billy not caring particular ly where they went. It was a beau tifully clear night. The sky was white with stars, and a great round moon rode straight overhead, casting down upon the river a thousand glinting jewels. With brave uncon sciousness, Billy had quite naturally chosen the Drive, since that led him past the Stuart apartments, where the enchanted doorman stood in the enchanted marble lobby, accepting a cigaret rfom the enchanted elevator boy. Billy did not know that the skies were clear, that the moon was shining, that the river was gleaming and dancing under the silver radiance He was talking, and all the burden of his conversation was just Tavy! Tommy Tinkle, politely suppressing that whimsical grim, listened piously, and even threw in an occasional re mark to draw his friend on. Good old Tommy! It was one o'clock when they reach ed the apartments, and Tommy de cided to run up and say "Howdy" to Hal, if he were still awake. Hal! Billy's conscience gave him i a tremendous twinge. Half a dozen | times, during the dinner at Woodbriar, ) and on the way home, and on the way ! to the club to pick up Tommy, he had given a fleeting thought to Tavy's father, but, for the most part, he MAKING IT PLAIN The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim to protect the public by preventing mis-statements on the labels of prepa rations but some people continue to accept "extracts" of cod livers think ing they will get the benefits of an emulsion of cod liver oil.

There were no lights in the big lounging-room, when Billy and Tommy entered, nor was there any fitful red glow in the wide fireplace. Sllhou | etted against the window, however, I was a bent figure, sitting so motion | less that at first they thought Hal ' must be asleep. As the light flashed I up the old man turned, and his face j was haggard. "I'm glad you came, Tommy." | The voice was husky and the eyes | were feverish. "I have something to j say to Billy which I wish you to hear." Lane's head was up in an instant. "If it's in relation to what you I said in the office this afternoon, I'd j like to have Tommy hear It, too. ! Frankly, Hal, I could not understand ■ you. What have 1 done?" "Asked my daughter to marry you." Billy's face flushed, but perplexity still struggled with his rising anger. "Of course 1 did. I had every right to do*so." He turned to Tommy. "It is perhaps as well to tell you. Tommy, that Miss Stuart is Hal's daughter." "I had gathered as much." Tommy I had stood by the door, with his hat and gloves in his hand. Now he put s them on the table, and sat down. He 'lit a cigaret, and prepared himself for ; a most disagreeable task. 1 "Just why should I not marry Tavy?" demanded Billy. "There is the reason!" and the old J man pointed to the decanter on the | table. "I'd rather see her dead than married to a drunkard!" "See here!" Billy's voice was shak : ing with anger. "You've gone too ] far with this thing. Stuart! 1 can j quite understand that. because of your own experience, you should have jan exaggerated dread of whisky, but I that you should stretch that attitude ]so far as to call me a drunkard is more than I have patience for." "Any man who neglects his business ' because he's intoxicated, who becomes | drunk time after time, and is sur prised that it happened, and who still clings to whisky, is a drunkard, or | bids fair to become one," retorted 1 Stuart. "I have watched you day ; after day. Billy. You have been go j ing exactly the path I went, to the j last minute step. You have exactly the same kind and degree of craving j which I had at your stage of develop j ment as a drinker; and there is no I salvation for you unless you put whisk;- absolutely out of your life!" "I'll never do it!" Billy's jaws | were squared and his lips compressed. ' The decanter stood near him. En tirely unconscious of the fact that it was this very thing of which they ; were talking, he poured himself a ; drink, and pushed the decanter over ,to Tommy. Tommy watched him eur | iously. Billy, still unaware of what he was doing, swallowed his drink, j "I shall not relinquish my control of any factor which enters into my file," ■ he declared, a-s he set down his glass. "Then you shall never marry Tavy!" I The old man was as steady now as i Billy, and there was as much deter i mination in his voice. He stood tall ; and straight, and his white face was rigid. j "What will you do to prevent it?" j There was insolence in that tone, the Insolence of youth and strength, but jit was excused by Billy's thorough • belief in himself and his rectitude. "I don't know," returned Stuart musingly. "I have been thinking of J that and of nothing else ever since I left the office. I shall do some i| thing, however, w hen the time comes. ; I If I h wasted my life and theirs, J I shall see that they run no further chance of distress. I can do that t much at least," and there was the 1 : light of a growing fanaticism in his j eyes. • j Billy gazed at him a moment in • credulously. 1 ~ "* had 't expected this of you. 5, Stuart."
