"The Insider" By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XIII (Copyright, 1917, Star Company.) "Mrs. Goro will not be down this noon. Put places for Miss Dart and Miss Grace at this table." My charge and I were entering the dining-room aa these words were spoken. , My employer was standing by his own chair, at the foot of the big ta ble. Before him stretched out an ex panse of damask, dotted with conven tional articles of cutglass and silver. His was the only cover laid. At the side of the room was set the small table at which Grace and I were ac customed to take most of our meals. "Hello, Daddy!" / - As my companion hailed him, Mr. Norton turned and held out his arms to her. "Well," he said as she ran to him nnd kissed him, "your dad has been a lazy old man to-day and has Just come downstairs. Good morning— or good afternoon, isn't it?" holding out his hand to me. "You see I have ordered places for you two young ladies."—with a mock bow to the child —"put her at the table with mo. If you fancy I am going to sit here all by myself you are much mis taken." We was in a genial mood, and Grace recognized the fact. "Oh, dear Daddy!'" she exclaimed. "This is lots of fun. I don't believe Auntie would let Miss Dart and me sit here if she was down." "If she were able to bo down I would not be here alone, daughter," lie explained. "As this is Sunday and Auntie cannot come to dinner, I want my little girl to keep me from being lonely." "And Miss Dart, too," she supple mented. "Certainly. Miss Dart, too," he agreed. "For if 1 took you away from her, then she would be lonely, you see." Our two plates, with the accesso ries thereto, had been transferred by this time to the main table, and we seated ourselves —I opposite my em ployer, Grace at his right. He Is Disappointed It was a pleasant meal, the jolliest T had had since I came to this home. Mr. Norton was a delightful talker and Grace was so happy that her face was bright with smiles. "Mayn't Miss Dart and me sit here with you every Sunday, even when Auntie's well. Daddy?" she begged. He would not answer seriously, but laughed her request away. "I make no promises! Auntie ar ranges the matters in the dining room when she Is up—so I keep out of the business. But, little girl, it Is not cor rect to say, 'May Miss Dart and me sit here?'" You should say, 'May Miss Dart and I.' " Then, tactfully, he led the talk from Mrs. Gore and her wishes. He asked where we had been, and on be ing Informed that I had taken Grace to church, Inquired with feigned gravity If she had "behaved prop erly." "She was very good," I told him. "But I did not let her stay through the sermon. We went for a walk i ! Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton i i (f Do You Know How Much Life In surance You Ought to Carry ?

Mechanics Trust Company, 3rd and Market 'J USE TELEGRAPH WANT ADS TUESDAY EVENING, when the first part of the service was over." As the meal ended, he remarked that he had not seen Mrs. Gore yet. "I hope she will be well enough to get up for this evening," he told me as he turned toward the stairs to go up to her room. "1 have asked some people here to supper, and it will be embarrassing If she cannot be present—for they are new acquaint ances." I did not want to disappoint him, but I was sure that Mrs. Gore had no intention of rising from her bed to-day. \T As he came down from his visit to the invalid, his disturbed coiy** tenance showed me that I was cor rect in my surmise. He joined Grace and me in the library where we were looking at the pictures In the Sunday papers. "Mrs. Gore will not get up this afternoon," he said In a low votce. "She says she feels too badly." Then, as Grace ran across the room to gaze out of the window, he added in a low tone: "I think she would be better —poor lady!—lf she made the exertion to get up. Almost all her trouble Is nervous, and largely due to self-absorption." 1 recalled instantly the conversa tion I had overheard last night, and was sure that he suspected, as I did, that pique and self-pity combined to keep Mrs. Gore from recovering as rapidly as her brother-in-law could wish. A Suggestion "I am in an uncomfortable pre dicament," he went on. "A couple of business acquaintances from Chi cago are spending Sunday in town. They have their wives with them. On the impulse of the moment yes terday I Invited them to supper here to-night. I mentioned that my sis ter and I would be glad to have them with us. They will come, and I will have to entertain them alone. It Is a bit awkward; for, while the men and I might talk business, the women will, 1 fear, have a dull time. I had depended upon Adelaide —Mrs. Gore—being at the table. "It is too bad," I murmured. As he looked at me a sudden light, came to his face, replacing the ex pression of chagrin that had just reigned there. * "I wonder," he said, impulsively, "why you could not come down In Mrs. Gore's stead. I could explain that she was ill, and that she had asked you, our guest and friend who is staying with us, to take her place. That is all that need be said byway of explanation. Why, that's a fine plan." I gasped in dismay. "But. I could not leave Grace," I reminded him. "Supper will not be until 7.30," he said. "Grace will be asleep by then. Moreover," with a look of determi nation. "I will tell Mrs. Gore that since she cannot get up you will have to preside at supper, and that she must spare Maggie to listen for the child in case she wakes." For a whole minute I did not an swer. I was actually dumb at his sug gestion. What ought 1 to say? (To Be Continued) TAFFETA continues a favorite material for handsome aiternoon costumes. You can make this one in a light or in a dark color for there are fancy silks offered that will trim both successfully. Here, a silk with a Persian effect is used for the bands and the dresa itself is made of taffeta ia quiet neutral shade that is just a little bit deeper than sand which makes an ex- cellent foil for the Paisley effect. The blouse may be made as it is here or cut longer to form an extension over the skirt. When it is made in the latter way, it will be pretty for quite different materials. The closing is made invisibly at the left of the front. For the simpler blouse, you can make with a high neck and a rolling collar that leaves a slight opening at the front. The skirt gives the very newest variation of the tunic aad it will be smart for two materials as welT ah for one, char, meuse over serge or serge over charmeuse or a fancy silk over a plain one.

SUCCESS IS DUE TO BIG SPIRIT No One Can Make Most of Talents If Soul Is Filled With Envy By Ella Wheeler Wilcox Copyright, 1916, Star Company. If you are gifted in any special line of endeavor, if you are a painter or a poet or a musician, cultivate a big spirit of appreciation and generosity toward others if. you would attain to any heights. Of course you can perfect yourself in technique and attain success of a certain kind, without putting your heart Into it. But the real success in any kind of art and, in truth, in any kind of enterprise, must come from the amount of unselfish devotion and warm-hearted enthusiasm which en ters into the work. If your heart is filled with petty jealousies, narrow ideals, envy, ill will, and criticism toward your fel low toilers who are striving for the same goals, it will be utterly impos sible for you to do big things. It is a curious and sad fact that, on the great and glorious sea of har mony, there is so much inharmony among the voyagers. The bicker ings, misunderstandings, quarrels and discords among musicians have come to be a proverbial jest. Less quarrel some, perhaps, but far from ideal, are the relations of poets, authors and artists. Wholesome, candid and dignified criticisms are of, great value In any field of endeavor. We are stimulated to new effort and elevated to an un derstanding of higher ideals by kind, fair, just criticism. There is scarcely any human being strong enough to endure continual praise, but to be just and fair criti cism must be comprehensive and sympathetic. In the world of music there are all kinds of talent—many kinds of voices, many kinds of instrumental performers, many kinds of composers, and creators and interpreters. The heavens of literature are illu mined by various kinds of stars, plan ets and constellations. It is this vast variety which "gives the radiance to the dome into which we gaze. If we thought these stars were all bicker ing with one another, each filled with jealousy of the other's radiance, how contemptible it would seem. If the drops of water which make the high tide were jealous of one another, each drop desiring to be the ouly drop in the ocean, how ridiculous it would be. The more gifted people there are in the world, the greater their achieve ments, the larger their successes, the richer earth-iife becomes for all of us. Whatever you are doing in the world, remember you are putting your own personality into it. Every thought, every emotion has its weight, and will influence your work eventually. If you are small, petty and narrow, these qualities will crop out in what you are doing. If you are big, broad and generous, those qualities will be illustrated in your achievements. Whoever and whatever we are, we owe it to our Creator and to our selves to be "worth while," and if we possess many gifts, or taste which can be developed into gifts, in the world of art, still higher is our obli gation to the Lords of Karma. I hold it the duty of one who is gifted And royally dowered in all men's sight To know no rest 'till his life is lifted Wholly up to his great gift's height. He must mould the man into rare completeness, For gems are set only in gold refined. He m ( ust fashion his thoughts into * perfect sweetness And cast out folly and pride from his mind. , For he who drinks from a god's gold chalice Of art or music or rhythmic song Must sift from his soul the chaff of malice And weed from his heart the roots of wrong. Great gifts should be worn like a crown befitting, And not like gems on a beggar's hands. And the toil must be constant and unremitting Which lifts up the king to the crown's demands. Whatever you are doing to-day and however great your ambition, begin to look for something to praise in the work of others traveling along the same road. When you have found the thing to praise, speak of it. Be quick with your words of. pralso and slow with your words of criticism. : This will lead you along an ascend ing path toward high goals. | With the Fingers ! j j Says Corns Lift Out j j Without Any Pain j Soie corns, hard corns, soft corns I or any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply directly upon the com a few drops of freezone, sajs a Cin cinnati authority.

(Continued.) CHAPTER XXIII. The Rule of the Lawless. 11 MOXG the occasional visitors to yL\ camp was a man who calied /\ himself Ilarry Crawford. He ■" was a man of perhaps twen ty-five years, tall, rather sleTider, with a clear face and laughing blue eyes. Nothing lu his appearance Indicated the desperado, and yet we had long known him as one of the Morton gang. This man now took up his residence in camp, and we soon discovered that he was evidently the killer. The first afternoon he picked some sort of a petty quarrel with Thompson over a purchase, but cooled down instantly when unexpectedly confronted by a half dozen miners who came in at the opportune moment. A few days after ward in the slack time of the after noon Thompson, while drinking at the bar of the Empire and conversing with a friend, was approached by a well known sodden hanger-on of the sa loons. "What are you fellows talking about?" demanded this man Impu dently. "None of your business," replied Thompson Impatiently, for the man was a public nuisance and besides was deep in Thompson's debt. The man broke into foul oaths. "I'll dare you to fight!" he cried In a furious passion. Facing about, Thompson saw Craw ford standing attentively among the listeners and Instantly comprehended the situation. "You have the odds of me with a pistol," said Thompson, who notori ously had no skill with that weapon. "Wliy should I fight you?" "Well, then," cried the man, "put up your fists! That'll show who is the best man!" He snatched off his belt nnd laid It on the bar. Thompson did the same. "Come on!'' cried the challenger, backing away. Thompson, thoroughly angry, reach ed over and slapped his antagonist. The latter promptly drew another re voler from beneafh his coat, but be fore he could ain/ it Thompson jump ed at his throat aud disarmed him. At this moment Crawford interfered, ap parently as peacemaker. Thompson was later told secretly by the barkeep er that the scheme was to lure him into a pistol fight in the street, when Crawford would be ready to shoot him as soon as the first shot was fired. On the strength of this interference Crawford next pretended to friendship and spent much of his time at Thomp son's store. Thompson was in no way deceived. This state of affairs contin ued for two days. It terminated in the following manner: Crawford, sit ting half on the counter and talking with all the great charm of which he was master, led the subject to weap ons. "This revolver of mine," said he, at the same time drawing the weapon from its holster, "is one of the old navy model. You don't often see them nowadays. It has a double lock." He cocked It as though to Illustrate his point, and the muzzle, as though by accident, swept toward the other man. He looked up from bis affected close examination to find that Thompson had also drawn his weapon and that the barrel was pointing uncompromis ingly in his direction. For a moment the two stared each other in the eye. Then Crawford sheathed his pistol with an oath. "What do you mean by that?" he cried. "1 mean," said Thompson firmly, "that 1 do not intend you shall get the advantage of me. You know my opinion of you and your gang. I shall not bo shot by any of you if I can help It." Crawford withdrew quietly, but lat er In the day approached a big group of us, one of which was Thompson. "There's a matter between you and me has got to be settled!" he cried. "Well, I can't Imagine what it Is," replied Thompson. "I'm not aware that I've said or done anything to you that needs settlement." "You needn't laugh!" replied Craw ford, with a string of insulting oaths. "You're n coward, and if you're any thing of a man you will step out of doors and have this out." "I am, as you sa.v. a coward." re piled Thompson quietly, "and I see no reason for going out of doors to fight you or any bod v else." After blustering and swearing for a few moments Crawford withdrew. He made no attempt to fight, nor do I be lieve his outburst had any other pur pose than to establish the purely per sonal character of the quarrel between Thompson and himself. At any rate. Thompson was next morning found murdered In his bunk, while Crawford bad disappeared. I do not know whether Crawford had killed him or not I think not About this time formal printed no tices of some sort of flection were posted on the bulletin bsiud at Mor ton's place. At least they were said io uj>u (jeeu |iu9ie• ijiuied out to all corners the lifter elec tion. Perhaps they were there all the time, at* claimed, but nobody paid much attention to them. At nny rate, we one day awoke to the fact that we were a full fledged community, with regularly constituted court officers, duly qualified officials, and a sheriff. "What do you mn by that?" ha crid. The sheriff was Morton, and the most worthy judges were other members of bis gang. This move tickled Danny Randall's sense of humor Immensely. "That's good headwork," he said ap provingly. "I didn't think Morton had it in him." "It's time something was done to run that gang out of town," fumed Dr. Rankin. "No; it is not time," denied Danny, "any more than it was time when you and Johnny and the rest of you had your celebrated Jury trial." "I'd like to know what you are driv ing at!" fretted the worthy doctor. Danny Randall laughed in his gentle little fashion. I will confess that just at that time I was very decidedly wondering what Danny Itandall was at. In fact, at moments I was strong ly Inclined to doubt his affiliations. He seemed to stand in an absolutely neutral position', inclining to neither side. Tom Cleveland was killed In the open street by one of the Empire hang ers-on. The man was promptly ar rested by Morton in his capacity of sheriff and confined in chains. Mor ton as sheriff selected those who were to serve on the jury. I had the curi osity to attend the trial, expecting to assist at nn uproarious farce. All the proceedings, on the contrary, were conducted with the greatest decorum and with minute atteutlon to legal formalities. The assassin, however, was acquitted.

FIREMEN ENTER PROTEST ON HOSE Endeavoring to Have New Au tomobile Apparatus Equipped With Better Quality Carlisle, Pa., March 13.—Carlisle fire men will to-night vote on a set of resolutions drafted by the foremen of the various companies protesting to the borough council against the equip ping of the new automobile lire ap paratus with hose recently purchased. Of 11,000 feet purchased within the last eighteen months, firemen say, leas thun 500 feet can be used at all, the re mainder having gone bad ou tests or while In use. A new lot of hose just purchased was tried out and no section stood up to the 400 guarantee, the fore men who witnessed the test declare. It is further claimed lhat the economy measures of the town governing board in equipping the department with cheaper hose and other necessities is miltating against efficiency. The hose question is the entering link into a disclosure of many facts relative to the department hitherto unknown, it is intimated, Pullman Company of York Forms New Corporation The Pullman Motor Car Company, of 101 K, lias announced tne reor ganization, following the appointment ol a friendly receivership last Decem ber.

This corpora tion will market and distribute the entire output of the Pullman Motor Car Company. Economy in Desserts The high cost of living makes the I housewife use her wits. With meat and vegetables so expensive she can no longer afford to order ices and cakes Irom a caterer for her parties. It was recently the turn of one woman to entertain a card club. The usual dessert was ice cream, but when tHe chicken had been bought tor the ' salad and the oysters for the stew j the hostess realized that she must out 'down somewhere. She must evoke a I dessert which should take the least possible quantity of expensive milk and eggs. This is the way she met the problem. She made a lemon jelly with gelatine. Instead ot using large molds, she took the little enameled ware pans which come for baking small lancy cakes. Into each of these she poured a spoonful of jelly. Ao soon as the jelly began to Stiffen she added to each mold a bit of fruit; a malaga grape skinned and seeded in one, a slice of banana in another and so on. When the jelly was perfectly stiff it was taken out of the molds and put on platters ready to be served and the same cake pans were used for Ihe fancy cakes. This was the old, eco nomical 'one, two, three" cake, but which was made most attractive by fancy icings. This whole dessert for sixteen people cost less than one quart of lee cream, even when made at home.

Why Casca-Royal Pills Are Better For You Telia lteiil Sfrret of THIm Famous I'opular Medicine I Gives Two (iood Rennoni What is the difference between Casca Royal Pills and a thousand and one other Laxative Pills? Just this: Casca Royal Pills is a com pound of medicines, which arc HO care fully blended in their action on the human system as to actually overcome chronic constipation without ereatlnK the so-called "plll-hnblt." For instance, one ingredient helpx the stomach and digestion; another regulates the flow i of bile; another acts upon the liver; an other upon the kidneys, and several up on the small and large intestines. Thus the whole diminutive tract ,1s toned and strengthened—none are overwork ed—no drastic harmful action follows. Most all other pills, just act on one or two oi'Kans, drastically, which creates the "pill habit." Economy is the other reason. Casca Royal Pills will relieve quicker and cheaper than "liver, stomach and blood medicines" which cost SI.OO or more. Try them if constipated, sluggish, full of pain, depression or languor, for a week or two and see what wonderful benefit in health you receive. 15 dosea 10 cts.. 45 doses 25 cts.
