"The Insider"

CHAPTER XVIII

"iliss Dart, this is my son, Tom Nor
ton," her employer said. "Tom, I want
you to know Miss Dart, Grace's gov
erness."
It was Sunday- morning and Grace
and 1 had just entered the dining
room. The young master of the house
had arrived after dinner the night be
fore. He and his father were seated
at the table by the time that Grace
and 1 came down to breakfast, for the j
child had slept later than usual to
day.
"How do you do?" I said, holding 1
out my hand to the tall lad, who came s
forward as soon as I was named. "1 1
am glad to meet you."
"Thank you," he rejoined, returning j
my handshake somewhat awkwardly. |
"Hello, Grace!"
"Hello!" she greeted liim, holding,
out her hand as she had seen me do. |
"Kiss him, daughter," Air. Norton!
t ommanded.
The boy flushed as if he did not care
to force his demonstrations upon the]
child, and she lifted her lips reluctant
ly for his perfunctory salute.
Since the Sunday noon, some weeks I
nyo when Mr. Norton had had Grace [
and me come to the large table with j
him, our ptaoes hud been laid here fori
breakfast and dinner on the t\rst day
of the week. If there had been any!
protest about this arrangement on the
part of Mrs. Gore, I did not know of
it. On other days the child and 1 sat
at the small table for breakfast and
early aupper, and with Mrs. Gore at I
luncheon.
This morning 1 found myself oppo
site young Tom Norton. The light
from the window fell full upon his!
face and 1 started as I met his gaze, i
He was evidently interested In learn
ing what his sister's governess looked
like, and he stared into my eyes with
a directness that was disconcerting.
Where had I seen an expression that \
was the counterpart of his?
A Resemblance.
Then I remembered. The same
deep-set eyes had gazed from the por
trait above the boy's bed in the room
upstairs. The expression was identi-!
cal. The lad's mouth was like the 1
mouth in the painting. The dark curls;
above the boyish face fell over the;
forehead as did those above the fore- .
head in that picture.
Of course, that was Tom's mother!
1 might have known that. 1 told my
self as I glanced away quickly.
But how utterly unlike the boy and
his sister were! IW was tall, sturdy,
and dark, with keen black eyes, ruddy;
cheeks and strong features. Grace)
was slight, fair and dainty, with wide,
light gray eyes and pale hair. It was
hard to imagine the pair as children J
of the same mother. Then, as I looked
at my employer, 1 saw that his chil- '
lren bore only a slight resemblance to
him —too slight to be noticeable.
He was talking with his son as lie j
might have talked with any fellow in
whom he was interested. I thought
that he seemed to be making an effort i

SATURDAY EVENING,

lof the affectionate camaraderie that
(often exists between father and son.
We had nearly tlnished breakfast
'! when the boy spoke suddenly, as if try
-|ing to make a confession.
. j "Father—l have asked a man I
J know at school to spend a couple of
days and nights here. I hope you
' don't mind?"
The father looked up In surprise.
"Why, no, Tom," slowly, "I do not
mind, of course. But who is he?"
"Hugh Parker," Tom replied. "He
has been doing some special teaching
down at school—coaching, you know,
jHe has been kind to me —and has
helped me when 1 haven't understood
Imy mathematics sometimes. 1 hate 1
maths," he added, parenthetically,
l "Your marks show that fact," Ills j
1 father remarked dryly. "But never j
mind about that now. You say you!
asked Mr. Parker to come here'.'" j
j "Yes, sir. The way of It was this," |
JTom hurried on. as If to exonerate!
I himself of any possible blame. "Mr.
; Parker happened to say he was com-!
ling to New York this week. He wants I
|to go to the opera and theater and!
j things like that—and I said I was sure |
! you would be glad to have him here;
Ifor a night or so.
"He thanked me, but said he had j
engaged a room at a hotel. But I j
; know where he is stopping, and lj
thought if you didn't mind I would call
' him up there and tell him to come I
1 here."
Mr. Norton smiled indulgently. "I
think, my son." he observed, "that Mr. j
Parker would hardly come on your,
invitation unless mine accompanied
it."
The Puzzle Deepens.
The words were not unkind, yet I j
saw that they mortified the person to ;
whom they were addressed,
j "I beg your pardon," Tom said, :
i stiffly. "I did not mean to presume." j
"You could not presume in your i
own father's house," the parent cor- i
rected.
Then there was a long silence. From
time to time the older man glanced at j
i the younger one thoughtfully, yet!
1 with a certain baffled look in his eyes, i
It was almost as if he were apologizing
i lo his son in his heart, although at the
same time criticising the youth and;
' his evident sensitiveness. - !
Later, 1 heard Mr. Norton calling'
j up the hotel at which the lad's tutor |
was staying. 1 was sure he was trying i
.to atone for the manner which his
boy had resented. I wondered why I
this father and son misunderstood
each other, while Grace and her!
father seemed thoroughly congenial. ;
Pondering on the matter later in!
the day when I was alone with Mrs. j
; Gore. 1 spoke a part of my thought.!
i "The picture above your nephew's
bed is of his mother, isn't it?"
"Yes," Mrs. Gore said quickly, "it is. !
1 Tom looks like her."
Although the speaker changed the!
! conversation abruptly to another topic,
as if to avoid further questioning, my
mind lingered upon the subject.
If that was the children's mother.;
why did Grace not know whose the'
picture was? Surely some one should
! have told the child about her own
1 mother!

"ljuiiung is the one thing you have
to pay cash for throughout." said Tal
bot regretfully. "Labor and materials
demand gold. But I see my way clear,
and a tirst class, well appoi ed busi
ness block lu this town right now is
worth more than the United States
mint. That's cash coming in for you
regularly every month. It will pay
from the start four or five times the
amount necessary to keep everything

entire lower floor at thirty thousand.
The offices upstairs will pay from a
thousand a month up, and they are
every one rented in advance. Once
we get our rents coming in the strain
is relieved. I can begin to take up my
mortgages and loans, and once that
is begun we are on the road to Milllon
alrevllle."
Once more he recapitulated his af
fairs—the land on the Plaza, two hun
dred thousand; the building, eighty
thousand; the Harbor View lands, any
thing they might rise to, but nearly a
quarter mlltion now; ten thousand par
value of the wharf stock already pay
ing dividends; real estate here and
there, and everywhere In the path of
the city's growth; shares in a new ho
tel that must soon touch par; the plank
road —as we jotted down the figures
nnd the magic total grew such trifling
little affairs as gold mines dropped
quite below the horly.on. We stared at
Talbot, fascinated.
And then for the first time we learn
ed that the $5,000 we had sent down
from Hangman's Gulch and the sum
left from the robbery were not slum
bering in some banker's safe, but had
been sent dancing with the other dol
lars at Talbot's command.
"I didn't know just what you fel
lows Intended," said he, "but we were
partners up there at the mines, and I
concluded it would be all right. You
didn't mean"—
"Sure not!'' broke In Johnny hearti
! ly. ''You're welcome to mine."
"Same here." agreed Yank and I.
And then Talbot let us see that he
considered us to that extent partners
in the business.
"I have the date it arrived," he told
I us. "and I know just how much actual
i capital I had myself nt that time, so
I'm computing: your shares in the ven-
I ture on that basis. It comes to cbcot
S one-tenth apiece for Yank and Johnny,
! Frank and I have an agreement al
ready."
i Johnny stared at the paper on which
the totals had been penciled.
"Not any!" he protested vehemently.
"It isn't fair! You've made this thing
by sheer genius, and it isn't fair for
me to take a tenth of it on the strength
of a measly little consignment of dust.
You give me your note for a thousand
dollars, or whatever the sum is, at in
! terest, if you want to, and that's all
| that is coming to me."
"I feel the same," said Yank.
"Boys," argued Talbot earnestly,
"that doesn't go. That five thousand
saved me. It came at n time when I
had to have money or go down. I had
been to every bank, to every firm, to
every mnn In town, and I couldn't
raise 10 cents more. If you refuse this
thing you will be doing something
that"—
"Oh, hush up, Tal!" broke In Johnny
gruffly. "If that's how you feel"—
"It Is."
"It is now," said Johnny firmly,
"10:?>0 a. in., but I'm going to have
bubbles. If you fellows don't want
me all drunk and dressed up you've
got to help me drink them."
CHAPTER XXX.
Plutocratal
WE felt very elated and rather
small. Talbot had alone and
without, so to speak, moving
from his tracks made a for
tune, while we, after going through
many hardspliis. adventures ami hard
work, had returned almost penniless.
One of our first tasks was to convince
Talbot of the injustice to himself in
giving us shares based on a propor
tionate money Investment. VVe made
him see after awhile that his own gen
ius counted for something in the mat
ter. He then agreed, but reluctantly,
to reduce our shares to a twentieth
each and included me In this despite
our previous agreement. If we had
adhered to that my proportion would
have been nearer a fortieth.

Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, _ which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim

give ( way to zcmo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only 25c; an extra
large bottle, SI.OO. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

"THE ROAD THAT
LEADS TO LOVE"
■Beatrice Fairfax Is Sorry She
Was Not One Who
Wrote It
By BKATRICE I'AIBF.\X.
Have you ever read a beautiful
' poem or listened to a wonderful line
in a play and thought to yourself: "I
| wish I had said that! It's exactly what
i I think. Why didn't I express it?"
Of course you have, and so you
. will understand my feelings when first
: I heard the newest song: by that young
genius of life as it is, Irving Berlin.
I'm not envious—Just happy that he
could so exquisitely express what 1
feel.
The very name—"The Road That
■ l.cads to Love," harmonizes with my
i thoughts, and the lines which accom
pany the haunting, lilting refrain,
even as it accompanies them, say
what is in my heart. And I know that
even as I feel, you must too> —the great
charm of this beautiful new song lies
> in the fact that it expresses in terms
| of music and poetry a simple thought
I that lies in all hearts attuned to real
beauty.
"The road that leads to fortune and
fame,
[ Is paved with gold in your dreams;
[ But after you've journeyed and
reached your aim.
It seldom is all that it seems.
To have, to hold, to love and caress,
_ Is all we can ask from above.
For the road that leads to happiness,
Is the road that leads to love."
Doesn't that say just exactly what
you would say If you dared be honest
and knew how to marshal your In
articulate longings into thoughts?
Isn't that the very essence of your
dreams? Does it not hold in the silver
message of its song the spirit of life
at its best?
The sweetness and lilting rhythm
of the music hold the essence of
longing. The spirit of the song is the
spirit that makes for eternal youth. It
reaches out to you with its gentle mes
sage and holds a blessing for you, if
you hear and heed.
In its over-tones there is the silver
melody of joy; in its chords there
lies the harmony of life. And it sings
to you, "Don't cheat yourself. Don't
strive for empty honors and cold gain.
Only joy that is shared, only success
that belongs to your beloved as well
as to you can matter."
What is idle ambition? There are
dozens of paths leading to success;
and you think that success spells it
self out in tiaming. golden capitals
and surmounts the hill of human de
sire. But v.hen you have climbed that
hill you find that success unshared is
written in letters of tarnished gilt and
lies at the top of a long, steep hill on
the other side of which there lies the
cold and forbidding cliff of dead de
sires towering above the barren land
of loneliness.
But success shared, ambition whose
fruits you bring to lay at the feet of
your beloved, and glory which you
offer humbly at the shrine of real de
votion are warm and glowing and
worth all the struggle their achieve
ment meant.
In the midst of shrieking, self-sat
isfied one-steps, gay and indifferent
fox-trots and exotic and impassioned
tangoes there is still the waltz with
its message of genuine pdetry and real
feeling. And in the wonderful new
waltz he has composed Irving Berlin,
has put life's truest and tenderest
message so exquisitely that I offer!
him now my earnest gratitude for!
sending out to the world in waves of
melody the philosophy I long to have
all of you know. The road that leads i
to happiness is the road that leads to I
love.
There is eternal truth, the great
underlying spirit of life. Having gold
and fame and fortune, you dream per

TIMELY HINTS FOR
THE HOME GARDENER
Onions in the Home Garden
I
Washington, D. C., March 24:
Onions, like potatoes, are a staple
crop that is grown commercially on
a very extensive scale. The home
gardener, however, may like to have
a few early home-grown onions for Ills
table or. If space permits, he may
wish to grow enough of later varieties
to last his family through the winter.
The onion will thrive under a wide
range of climatic and soil conditions,
but a rich, sandy loam containing
plenty of humus Is best suited to It.
As the crop requires shallow cultiva
tion and it may be necessary to resort
to hand work in order to keep it free
from weeds, it is very desirable that
the land should be In such condition
that it Is easily worked. As a general
rule. It is well to have the crop follow
some other one that has been kept un
der the hoe and free from weeds the
previous season.
In the North, seed is sown as early
in the spring as the soil can bo
brought to the proper condition. In
the South, onion sets are frequently
put out In the autumn and carried
through the winter with the protec
tion of- a little hay or straw. There
are three methods of propagating
onions: the first, by sowing the seed
In rows where the crop is to grow;
second, by sowing the seed in es
pecially prepared beds and trans
planting the seedlings to the open
ground: and third, by planting sets
which have been kept through the
winter. The first method is used by
large commercial growers on account
of the amount of labor Involved in the
others. On small areas, however. It
may be preferable to plant sets. Un
der normal conditions these may usu
ally be obtained at planting time for
about $2.50 a bushel, 8 or 9 bushels
being required to plant an acre.
Onions planted from sets will ripen
earlier than those from seed sown in
the fields. When the transplanting
method is used, the seed i.i sown in
greenhouses, hotbeds, cold frames, or
specially prepared beds at the rate of
3'a to 4 pounds for each acre to be
shall have all. But having all these,
life and its experiences teach you
have nothing unless you have the one
great joy, the true vision beautiful—
Love.
Harvard University Makes
Plans For War Work
By Associated Press
Cambridge, Mass., March ?4.
Harvard University announced yester
day the steps that it had taken to
prepare for war. A committee of the
faculty, appointed February 12 has
been actively at. work on all university
plans for military preparedness, it
was stated, "to the end that the facili
ties at Harvard may be used to the
fullest advantage in the event of war."
Although it is not contemplated
that during the coming academic year
the regular courses of Instructions
shall be suspended, it has been sug
gested that all men who may enter
tho government service will be al
lowed to take a special examination
and end their studies, with credit for
the work performed. The Reserve
Officers' Training corps now numbers
1.200 men and approximately 500
others are enrolled memebrs of the
National Guard, naval reserve or avia
tion corps.
For the next academic year, the
Harvard authorities announced, they
were prepared to offer the same
courses of instruction in all depart
ments as in other years.
It was stated that if the government
requested the use of the dormitories
as barracks during the summer, "it
is reasonably certain they, will be
available."
planted. The seedlings are transplant
ed when they are somewhat smaller
than a lead pencil and rather stocky.
The root end of the seedling is
pushed into the soil with one finger
and the soil is then firmed about the
plant.
The seed Is sown thickly in drills
about 12 to 14 Inches apart. After the
plants become established, they ara
thinned to 2 or 3 inches apart. The
maturity of the bulbs may be hastened
by preventing the continued growth
of the tops. This is sometimes accom
plished by rolling an empty barrel
over the rows and breaking down the
tops. After these are practically dead,
the onion bulbs may be pulled up by
hand from the soil and spread in a.
dry, well-ventilated place to cure.
Thereafter they may be stored in
crates or hags for winter use. In the
North, tho crop ripens and is har
vested during the latter part of the
summer and early autumn. In the
Southern States where the crop is
grown during the winter, the harvest
ing and marketing period takes place
during the spring months.
There are several kinds of onions
that may remain in the soil over win
ter. The multiplier, or potato onion,
for example, can be planted from sets
in the autumn and will produce ex
cellent, green early onions. A largo
onion of this type contains a number
of distinct hearts and, if planted, will
produce a number of small onions. On
the other hand, a small onion contains
but one heart and will produce a large
onion. A few of the large ones may
be planted each year to produce sets
for the following year's planting.
The shallot is a variety of small
onion that is frequently planted in
early spring for its small bulbs, or
"cloves," which are used in the same
manner as onions. The leaves are
utilized for flavoring. Another onion
like plant is the chive, the small round
hollow leaves of which are used for
flavoring soups. These leaves may be
cut freely, as they arc soon replaced
by others.
Murder Cases Will Be
Taken to Supreme Court
Carlisle, Pa., March 24. An
nouncement was made to-day that, tha
cases of Archie Miller and James

will be appealed to the Supremo
Court of the State. Attorneys are pre
