Warren had just departed for the office, and'lt was Monday,morning, and therefore yvash day. Mary was always more rushed than usual on wash day and Helen did all that she "could to make the home routine easier for her. "Now, you needn't bother with any lunch, I'll come out and fix a sand wich and get a glass of milk when I want them, And you can get right to work on your washing. I'm going back to bed to try to get some more sleep. My head is beginning to ache terri bly.". \ Helen took some medicine and then ■went back to her darkened bedroom. She felt that she could let things slide to-day while she took the rest she sad ly needed. Monday was always an off day, anyway. For a time she could not sleep. Her brain kept busy with the things that were worrying her. She kept revolving the affairs of the last few weeks. She wondered what she would do about taking a course in decorating, she wondered what had happened to her lately to so completely destroy the course 'of ordinary events. Nothing seemed right, and she herself seemed a stranger that she had never known before. Gradually, though, the thoughts be gan to be blurred. Helen had slept too fitfully during the night not to fall asleep for a lapse of time anyway. She slept exhaustedly and deeply. Mary tip-toed in about noon and drew the covers up more closely about her, and then tip-toed out again, shaking her head disapprovingly. Mary did not think much of the sleepless nights of Helen's, and the severe headaches that always followed. Helen -had had a great many headaches lately and the medicine that she took for them al ways upset her. The telephone rang about 2 o'clock, and Mary answered it. When she fin ally rang off a puzzled look was on her face. She was hesitating between •waking Helen and proceeding on her own initiative. But Helen's profound sleep, when Mary opened the door, de cided the question, and Mary rolled up the clothes, abandoned all thought of getting a few of the plain pieces Ironed off, and instead began some queer operations in the guest room, which was now Winifred's. Helen awoke about three to the sound of queer noises next door. She raised herself on her pillow to listen. What was Mary sweeping Winifred's room for on Monday? And she was sweeping it, for Helen knew that familiar squeak of the bureau as it was moved. "Mary," she called. But Mary could not hear, due to the uproar she was making, albeit she was trying to do it all as quietly as possi ble. The bell rang that meant Wini fred's return from school, and Helen hastily slipped out of bed, let the child In and then hurried back and threw open the door of the guest room. Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton ■ tHERE is one of the newest and smartest street gowns. The model will serve you well for immediate wear if you are going South, and if you remain in the North you can use it within doors or under a coat for immediate wear, or with a little wrap later in the season. Here, it is made of dark blue serge with trim ming of soutache braid and with ivory broadcloth for the chemi sette and collar. For the South, it would be charming made of white broadcloth with satin or of white serge. The narrow edge of soutache is found on the newest models.

If kvrt .M, Use Telegraph Want Ads Use Telegraph Want Ads FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG "Mary, whatever are you doing in here to-day?" Mary's round face was framed in a voluminous dustcap and she grinned broadly at Helen. "Well, you see, ma'am, company's coming." "Company," gasped Helen, "when?" "Mr. Curtis is bringing them up with him. I didn't want to disturb you, ma'am, so I told Mr. Curtis that you were out and I just went ahead in here. You know we said we'd leave this room last week, and it's that dirty." Helen dropped into a chair. "Go on, Mary, tell me the rest," she said tensely. "You should have called me, there must be hundreds of things to do. Oh, Mary, what about dinner?" This last came out with a wail. "Now, don't you fret, Mrs. Curtis, I tended to the dinner. I ordered a steak and some oysters, and we'll have some asparagus calad, and some sweet potatoes, and some peas, and I'll make a little dessert." "Mary, you're a jewel," Helen ex claimed, "but tell me quickly all about it. Who are these people who are coming?" The enormity of the thing struck her afresh as she stopped to think. How could Warren be so utterly inconsiderate? To bring strangers here unexpectedly, and to stay all night, and on Monday, too. But then, Warren never remembered about Monday. "I didn't get the name, ma'am, but Mr. Curtis said people from out of town, a man and his wife, to stay all night." "I must call Warren up immedi ately," Helen muttered to herself, and the next minute she was at the tele phone. "Warren," she said almost sharply, when she heard his voice across the wire, "who are these people you are bringing home?" "You've never met them, but I want you to spread yourself on this, Helen," : Warren said briskly. "It means a lot ito me in a business way. They were i staying at a hotel, but I insisted that they spend the night with us. Have i something nice for dinner, I have seats for the theater for to-night, "The [ Lamp.' " "Very well," Helen said coldly. ! There was so little that ( she could say. How she hated entertaining/the wives lof Warren's business friends. They : were all women with whom Helen had nothing in common, and yet be i cause it meant something in a business I way, there was nothing else to do but to make the best of it. Of course, this woman would be as dettstable as the : others Helen had met, and Warren had bought tickets for "The Lamp." Helen had wanted to see it all winter, but every time she had spoken of it Warren had told her that there were no seats. Of course, he could get seats in a case like this. Paying extra in order to secure them was easy enough when he was doing it for strangers. (The next installment of this inter esting series will appear here soon). Tiie God Copyright by Frank A.

It was agreed that the battleships tbat were to be remodeled should be ordered to Hastor, another Hellumetic city, far to the southwest Kantos Kan thought that the docks there. In addition to their regular work, would accommodate at least six battleships at a time. As he was commander in chief of the navy, it would be a simple matter for him to order the vessels there as they conld be handled and thereafter keep the remodeled fleet in remote parts of the empire until we should be ready to assemble It for the dash upon Omean.

Tars Tarkas was to get Into communication with Tliark and learn the sentiments of his people toward his return from Dor. If favorable, he was to repair imme diately to Thark and devote his time to the assemblies of a great borde of green warriors whom it was our plan to send in transports directly to the valley Dor and the temple of Issua while the fleet entered Omean and de stroyed the vessels of the Black Pi rates. Upon Hor Vastus devolved the del icate mission of organizing a secret force of fighting men sworn to follow John Carter wherever he might lead. As we estimated "that it would re quire over a million men to man the thousand great battleships we intend ed to use on Omean and the transports for the green men as well as the ships that were to convoy the transports it was no trifling Job that nor Vastus had before him.

"It has been even more difficult than we had expected," said Kantos Kan "The fact that we were compelled to maintain utter secrecy has handicap ped us terribly. Zat Arras' spies are everywhere. Yet, to the best of my knowledge, no word of our real plans has reached the villain's ear. "Tonight there lies about the great docks at Hastor n fleet of a thousand of the mightiest battleships that ever sailed above Barsoom and each equip ped to navigate the air to Oinean and the waters of Omean Itself. Upon each battleship there are five ten-man cruisers and ten five-man scouts and a hundred one-man scouts, in all 110.- 000 craft fitted with both air and wa ter propellers. "At Thark lie the transports for the green warriors of Tars Tarkas, 000 large troopships, and with them their convoys. Seven days ago all was in readiness, but we waited in the hope that by so doing the rescue of Dejah Thoris might be attempted at a time when the Black Pirates could be taken at a disadvantage." "How is it, Tars Tarkas," I asked, "that the men of Thark take not the accustomed action against one who re turns from the bosom of Iss?" "They sent a council of fifty chief tains to talk with me here," replied the Thark. "We are a Just people, and when I had told them the entire story they were as one man in agree ing that their action toward me should be guided by the action of Helium toward John Carter. "In the meantime at their request I was to resume my throne as Jeddak of Thark that I might negotiate with neighboring hordes for warriors to compose the land forces of the expedi tion. I have done that which I agreed.

"A million veteran fighting men from Helium's thin waterways man the bat tleships, the transports and the con voys," he replied. "Each is sworn to loyalty and secrecy, nor were enough recruited from a single district, to cause suspicion." "Good!" I cried. "Each has done his duty, and now, Kantos Kan, may we not repair at once to Hastor and get undeil way before tomorrow's sun?" "We should lose no time, prince," replied Kantos Kan.

This is the day of woman. We are just beginning to stand oft and look at ourselves and consider ourselves as a problem. Once upon a time a home and its duties satisfied us. We spun and wove and baked and sewed and brought up the children and rather enjoyed what the woman of today would be inclined to call drudgery. Modern efficiency plus modern ma chinery has taken most of our louse hold tasks from us. And a great many women find themselves with leisure on their hands and a vast un rest in their hearts. The world does a great deal of dis cussing as to what really is necessary for woman's life. "Physical well being," says the Ma terialist. "Exercise and fresh air and enough money to live on com fortably. A woman who has these is bound to be happy and have a full and rounded life." The Apostle of some new "ism" re sponds to him scornfully and says that woman must come out of the place where the material things are and study her soul. She mustn't think of her body, but of beauty, all compassing beauty. The Intellectual looks up over his thick goggles and says "Nonsense! What woman needs is work." The Old Fashioned Man shakes his head sadly and declares "Oh, no; what woman needs is to give up all these new movements and the desire to make her own place in the world and to come back to baking and cooking and satisfy herself in the home as her mother did before her." The Woman's Idea But Woman herself shakes her head to all of this. She has looked out into the world and seen that it \ has need of her and she knows that 1 she has need of it. Perhaps there | is a vague unrest in her heart, but there are ideals, too. She knows ■ that, however much she needs sun shine and fresh air and thoughts of beauty and enough domesticity to satisfy her, there is more needed. Woman needs a chance to do useful work and the joy of counting su premely to some one for whom she cares. In an ideal state one might sum It up by saying that she needed happy occupation and home and love. But ours is not an ideal state. Not every woman can have an abso lutely congenial occupation. Too many women have to forego the warmth and comfort of home. And husbands and children don't seem quite numerous enough to go round. So for practical purposes woman has to be satisfied with a chance at | useful occupation in which she can | express herself sanely and to which she can bring a certain vital energy I which will make her gradually come I to feel a real interest in it. An adaptable woman who wanted to be a concert singer and who ended up by being a reader in a play broker's office would be able to make that work interesting and satisfying. Love is an absolute necessity. Without it human life could no more persist than could our world exist entirely without sunshine. But sun shine doesn't come just when we want it nor with the precise degree of warmth we might ask. Nor is woman always given "the love of a strong man." It isn't actually necessary, either. What is necessary is to "matter supremely to some one." That some one may be a bedridden old mother, or a crippled little sister, or a worn and weary father, or a young brother who looks to one worshipfully for help and guidance. Even the rfoman who has no kith nor kin may have splendid loyal friendships. And the woman who has that has not an empty life. None of us can exist without work to interest us and love to warm and caress us. If wc have that we have much. If we have more we are in deed blest. But what every woman needs, in its simplest terms, is the chance to be useful and the privilege of loving and being loved. Princeton Seniors Quit Their Eating Clubs Princeton, N. J., March 1. Seven members of the senior class of Prince ton University yesterday resigned from their respective eating clubs as the re sult of an extended reform movement against the eating clubs and the system they seek to advance. The move is the outcome of a discus sion that dates back to the beginning of the club reform movement just firior to the Christmas holidays. Fol owlng the announcement by n. F. Cleveland, H. H. Strater, J. V. Schmals, D. K. E. Bruce and Samuel Lloyd that they represented a faction of the sophomore class that had agreed not to Join any upper class club because the system tended to promote artificial standards and to suppress Individu ality. nine seniors came out with a statement In support of the sophomore movement. For a considerable time these men have been assailed on all sides for a definite, concrete display of their policies. This was taken in their resignations tendered last night.

Ke went on to argue that thus he had prepared their minds for the fact that pack horses would soon be going out. By distributing the gold Its pres ence would be unsuspected. I suggested a strong guard, but both Bagsby and Don Gaspar opposed me. "There's enough of these yere rob bers to git us anyhow, even if -we nil went," said Bagsby, "and that's why I want to send the stuff out now. The place they"l tackle will be right yere, if they tackle anything at all" I will not weary you with the pros j and cons. At the time I thought, and ! I still think, the whole arrangement most 111 advised; but against me was the united opinion of nearly the whole camp, including the most level headed members of my own party. It was finally agreed that Yank, Buck Barry and Don Gaspar should take out the gold. They started very early in the morn ing, carrying the treasure in saddle bags and across the horns of the sad | die. I argued that Yank rode much the lightest and had the strongest horse, and managed to get the others to confide to him a full half of the metal. At the last moment we had modified the original plan to suit ev erybody. The horsemen encumbered by pack animals were to push on as rapidly as possible in order to reach by nightfall the settlement where dwelt the Italian friend. Once there they could feel themselves reasonably safe. Johnny, Missouri .lones and I would ride with them until noon as a sort of escort for the uninhabited por tion of the journey. By that hour we figured we should have reached the outskirts of the regular diggings, where, our experience told us, our com panions would be safe. Accordingly we pushed our mounts hard. Unhampered by pack animals, and aided by knowledge of the route, we made great progress. By noon we had passed the meadow of our night's camp. After a hasty lunch we accom panied our men a few miles farther, then said farewell and godspeed and hurried back in order to reach home before sunset. CHAPTER XVIII. The Robbery. WE cooked ourselves a meal and built ourselves a fire. About midnight we heard the sounds of horses rapidly approaching. Immediately we leaped from our bunks and seized our rifles, peering anxiously Into the darkness. A moment later, however, we were reas sured by a shrill whistle peculiar to Buck Barry, and a moment later he and Don Gaspar rode into camp. We assailed them with a storm of questions—why had they returned? What had happened? Where was Yank? Had there been an accident? Don Gaspar, who appeared very weary and depressed, shook his head sadly. Barry looked at us savagely from beneath his brows. "The gold is gone, an:l that's au end of it!" he growled. At these words a careful, dead si lence fell on us all. The situation had suddenly become too serious for hasty treatment. V 5 felt instinctively that a wrong word might do Irreparable damage. But In our hearts suspicion and anger and dull hatred leaped to life full grown. We tightened our belts, as It were, and clamped our el bows to our sides and became wary, watching with unfriendly eyes. John ny alone opened his lips. "Lost? I don't believe it!" he cried. Barry cast an ugly look at him, but said nothing. We ail saw that look. "Where's Yank?" I asked. "Dead by now, I suppose," flung back Barry. "Good God!" I cried, and under my breath, "Then you'vp murdered him!" 1 don't know whether Barry heard me or not, and at the time I did not much care. His sullen eye was rest ing on one after the other of us as we stood there in the firelight. Every face was angry and suspicious. Barry flung himself from his horse, tore the pad from its back, slapped it on the flank and turned away, reckless of where it went He cut himself, a steak and set to cooking his food, an uncompromis ing shouldbr turned in our direction. Nor did he open his mouth to utter an other word until the general discus sion later in the evening. Don Gaspar, who owned the only riding saddle, un harnessed his horse, led It to water, knee haltered it and turned it loose to graze. While he was gone no one spoke, but we glanced at each other darkly. He turned, sat down by the fire, rolled himself a cigaretto and vol unteered his story. "My fren'," said he, with a direct ness and succinctness utterly foreign to his everyday speech, "you want to know what happen'. Ver' well, it was like this." He told us that after we had left them they hurried on as fast as possi ble in order to reach the settled oaun- try. Owing to the excellence of bis animal he was generally some distance In advance. At one point, stopping on a slight elevation to allow them to catch up, he looked back in time to see two men on horseback emerge from the chaparral just behind his compan- lons. Don Gaspar Rhouted and leaped from his saddle, but before the warn ing hnd reached the other* a rlata from the hand of one of the men had fallen with deadly accuracy around Yank's arms and body, jerking him violently from the saddle. The thrower whirled bis horse to drag his victim, Don Gas par fired and by great good luck shot Hie animal through the brain. It fell In a heap, pinning its rider beneath it. In the meantime Barry had leaped to the ground and from behind the shel ter of his horse had shot the first rob ber through the body. Our two com panions now drew together and took refuge behind some large rocks, pre-' paring to receive the charge of a band of half dozen who now appeared. The situation looked desperate. Don Gas par fired and missed. He was never anything of a marksman, and his first shot must have been a great piece of luck. Barry held his fire. The rob bers each discharged his rifle, but harmlessly. Then just as they seemed about to charge In they whirled their horses and made off into the brush. "We could not tell the why," ob served Don Gaspnr. The two men did not speculate, but ran out to where Yank lay, apparently dead, his arms still bound close to his body by the noose of the riata. Barry cut the rope with his bowle knife, and they rolled him over. They found he still breathed, but that, beside the shock of his violent fall, he had been badly trampled by the horses. After a moment he came to consciousness, but when they attempted to lift him upright they found that his leg was broken. At this moment they heard the sound of voices and, looking up, saw coming from the other direction a band of a dozen men, half of whom were on horseback and all of whom were arm ed. This looked serious. "We got behind the rock," said Don Gaspar, "but we think to ourself our goose is cook." The newcomers, however, proved to be miners who had heard the shots and who now came hurrying up. Evi dently the robbers had caught sight or sound of their approach. They were much interested In the state of affairs, examined the horse Don Gaspar had killed, searched for and found the body of the robber Barry had shot. It proved to be a Mexican well known to them all and suspected to be a mem ber of Andreas AlJo's celebrated band. They inquired for the dead horse's rider. "And then, for the first time," said Don Gaspar, "we think of him. He wert down with his horse. But now he was gone and also the horse of Senor Yank. But I think he crawl off in the chaparral and that the horse of fenor Yank run away with the other horse of the dead man." (To Be Continued.) Alkali Makes Soap Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very Injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Just plain mulsifled cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the ipost expensive poaps or anything else ail to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole fam ily for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and. evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, brignt, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. FLORIDA "BY SEA" jjl Baltimore lit ijl JACKSONVILLE (Calling at Savannah) Delightful Sail Flae Steamers. Lo* Karen.
