THE
ji HONEYMOON I
HOUSE
By HAZEL DALE j!
Karen Mikal up in her tiny room
after her stormy interview with Dick
Etood staring at herself in the mir
ror of her bureau. She felt some
how cheapened,humiliated; she won
dered what there was about her to
make Dick treat her as he had •
Furiously she tore at the buttons of
the new crepe waist. She would put
on her plain little blue one and go
to school as she should have done
In the first place. She had planned
to stay away after reading Dick's In
vitation, but she had known even
then that it wasn't fair to Dick' 3
brother.
Once arrayed in her customary
clothes Karen felt more like her
self, and she realized for the first
time that she had had no dinner and
that she was hungry. She must stop
Jn somewhere and have a sandwich
before she went to school, and tak
ing up her gloves and her small
purse, she turned out the gas and
slowly went downstairs. The bell
rang as she reached the lower hall
and startled her for a moment. Then
Bhe opened it quickly and faced John
Armstrong standing on the small
etone stoop.
"Well," he said genially, "I caught
you after all, didn't I? Are you
going out. May I walk along with
you?"
"I was going to stop for a sand
wich somewhere," Karen said smil
ing a little. John Armstrong was
eo strong, and so trustworthy, she
always felt safe and secure with him.
"Haven't you had your dinner.
Well, neither have I? Suppose wo
go and have some together some
where. I have something to tell you."
"O, is it about the manuscript?"
Karen questioned anxiously. .
"Nat exactly; it's something about
you. I heard it just this afternoon,
end I knew that you would be
thrilled to pieces, so I hurried right
over to tell you. But first tell me,
Where shall we have dinner?"
"I'm not dressed," Karen protest
ed.
"Nonsense, we'll go somewhere,
where your clothes won't be noticed.
What are you going to do this even
fclng, anything in particular."
"I was going to school."
"To school, well I guess you can
cut it out to-night, we'll play
"hookey," together, how's that? Wo
used to call it that when I was a
kid."
'•'But if you were going somewhere
else," Karen began.
"I wasn't going anywhere I wanted
to go, you can be sure of that; a
Btupid affair where I'll never be miss
ed. Besides you'll find that you need
me after you've heard my news."
Karen was too young and too emo
tional not to respond to treatment
like this. Her pale cheeks began to
burn hotly, and her eyes to sparkle.
She wanted to fall at John Arm
strong's feet and tell him what this
coming of his meant to her.
They went to a quiet little res
taurant downtown where ensconced
behind a corner table Karen forgot
to be self conscious. She watched
John Armstrong as he ordered the
dinner. The curve of his strong
mouth beneath his pointed beard, the
little wrinkles at the corner of his
kind eyes that always looked a little
tired unless he was smiling.
The loose carelessness of his figure.
Dick had that same little trick of
squaring his shoulders and throwing
back his head, and with tho thought
Karen forgot everything in a sudden
wave of naln. Dick had never been
kind to her, and yet it was Dick she
cared about. Dick had been insolent
In his treatment, his last tones were
always indifferent, and yet the mem
cry of his voice brought her pain.
Dick's blue eyes were hot with a
feeling that made her shrink and
yet filled her with quick response.
In a nutshell Dick \>as altogether un
worthy, and yet she loved him, while
his brother was everything that a
woman could possibly desire, and yet
she could never feel anything for
him but friendship.
"Well, young lady, are you ready
for the menu?"
"O, yes," Karen responded, shak
ing off her reverie. "Please tell me
what it is, I need to hear something
Bice to-night."
"What's that? You're not unhappy
about anything, are you?"
"No, no, just a little blue, that's
all," she protested.
"Well, what would you say to giv
ing up night school?"
"But I haven't learned stenogra
phy well enough yet."
"Well enough to suit me, you won't
need to get up any speed, you're not
going to be a stenographer you
know."
"But I thought I was, for the pres
ent," Karen ventured.
John Armstrong laughed. "I
thought so too when I first suggested
It, but what would you say to a
email but very good part in a play
to be produced soon. Why child,
•what makes you so white, you're not
going to faint, are you?"

"It is a hideous mess, and it has
occurred to me that Dunham can put
you in bad if he wants to. When you
made that SIOO,OOO loan, • you for
got—and I forgot for the moment—
that you own ten shars of Westfall
Foundries in your own name. If Dun
ham wants to stand from under, this
might be used against you. You
must get rid of that stock, Monty,
and do it quick. Transfer the ten
shares to me, dating the transfer
back to Saturday. I still have the
stock books in my hands, and I'll
make the entry in the record and date
it to fit. This may look a little crook
ed, on the surface, but it's your sal
vation, and we can't stop to split
hairs when we've just been shot full
of holes.
"WESTFALL."
Smith folded the letter mechanical
ly and thrust it into his pocket. Car
ter Westfall was his good friend, and
the cashier had tried, unofficially, to
dissuade Westfall from borrowing
after he had admitted that he was
going to use the money in an attempt
to buy up the control of his own
company's stock. Smith was think
ing of the big bank loss and the
hopeless ruin of Carter Westfall
when he tore the second envelope
across and took out the inclosed slip
of scratch-paper, it was a note from
the president and it was dated with
in the hour. Mr. Dunham was back
in Lawrenceville earlier than ex
pected, and the note had been writ
ten at the bank. It was a curt sum
mons; the cashier was wanted, at
once.
At the moment. Smith did not con
nect the summons with the Westfall
cataclysm, or with any othr unto
ward thing. Mr. Watrous Dunham
had a habit of dropping in and out
unexpectedly. Also, he had the habit
of sending for his cashier or any
other member of the banking force
at whatever hour the notion seized
him. Smith went to the telephone
and called up the Richlander house.
The promptness with which the
multimillionaire's daughter came to
the phone was an intimation that his
ring was not entirely unexpected.
"This is Montague," he said, when
Miss Richlander's mellifluous "Main
four six eight—Mr. Richlander's
residence," came over the wire.
Then: "What are you going to think
ot a man who calls you up merely to
beg off?" he asked.
Miss Richlander's reply was merci
ful and he was permitted to go on
and explain. "I'm awfully sorry, but
it can't very well be helped, you
know. Mr. Dunham has returned, and
he wants me at the bank. I'll be up
a little later on, if I can break away,
and you'll let me come. • • * Thank
you, ever so much. Goodby."

AUTO CLUBS ARE
RENDERING AID
Howard Fry Makes Interest
ing Talk Before Franklin
County Motorists
The part automobile clubs have
played In bringing about improved
highways was brought out last night
by Howard W. Fry, chief clerk of the
State Highway Department, in a
speech before the Waynesboro Auto
mobile Club, at that place.
"The department feels that the
county commissioners know more
about local road conditions than we
do at Harrisburg and it is for this
reason we like an expression of their
preferences in proposed State-aid
highway construction. I know that
your club is vitally interested in see
ing freed the Wayne3boro,Oreencastle
and Mercersburg turnpike," said Mr.
Fry. "I cannot say just what will be
done with regard to this pike, for the
reason that we are not cognizant of
what the Legislature will do with our
proposed appropriation for toll road
purposes."
"Franklin county in the past has
profited from toll road appropria
tions. The Franklin county end of the
Chambersburg turnpike was acquired
by condemnation proceedings in No
neered quarters, was only four
squares distant. As he was approach
ing the corner, Smith saw that there
were only two lights in the bank, one
in the vault corridor and another in
the railed-off open space in front
which held the president's desk and
his own. Through the big plate-glass
windows he could see Mr. Dunham.
The president was apparently at
work, his portly figure filling the pad
ded swing-chair. He had one elbow
on the desk, and the lingers of the
uplifted hand were thrust into his
thick mop of hair.
Smith had his own keys and he let
himself in quietly through the door
on the side street. The night watch
man's chair stood in its accustomed
place in the vault corridor, but it
was empty. To a suspicious person
the empty chair might have had its
significance; but Montague Smith
was not suspicious. The obvious con
clusion was that Mr. Dunham had
sent the watchman forth upon some
errand; and the motive needed not
to be tagged as ulterior.
Without meaning to be particular
ly noiseless, Smith—rubber heels on
tiled floor assisting—was unlatching
the gate in the counter railing before
his superior officer heard him and
looked up. There was an irritable
note in the president's greeting.
"Oh, it's you, at last, is it?" he
rasped. "You have taken your own
good time about coming. It's a half
hour and more since I sent that note
to your room.'
CHAPTER 11.
Metastasis.
Smith drew out the chair from
the stenographer's table and sat
down. Like the cashiers of many lit
tle city banks, he was only a salaried
man, and the president rarely allow
ed him to forget the fact. None the
less, his boyish gray eyes were re
flecting just a shade of the militant
antagonism in Mr. Watrous Dun
ham's when he said: "I was dining
at the Country Club with a friend,
and I didn't go to my rooms until a
few minutes ago."
The president sat back in tho big
mahogany swing-chair. His face,
with the cold, protrusive eyes, the
heavy lips, and the dewlap lower
jaw, was the face of a man who
shoots to kill.
"I suppose you've heard the news
about Westfall?"
Smith nodded.
"Then you also know that the bank
stands to lose a cold hundred thou
sand on that loan you made him?"
The young man in the stenograph
er's chair knew now very well why
the night-watchman had been sent
away. Smith saw the solid founda
tions of his small world—the only
world he had ever known—crumb
ling to a threatened dissolution.

} vember, 1914; the Franklin county
end of the Chambersburg and Bed-
I ford turnpike by the same procedure
j in April, 1915, and, finally, the sec
| tion of the Harrisburg Carlisle and
Chambersburg turnpike, lying be
tween the Cumberland-Franklin
I county line and'Chambersburg, was
acquired by purchase in October,
1915."
Mr. Fry pointed out instances, no
tably in Center, Lackawanna, Cam
bria and Bucks counties, where fi
nancial assistance had been given to
the department, either by automobile
clubs, good roads associations and
private citizens, to aid in the aboli
tion of toll roads.
Mr. Fry called attention to the co
operation of citizens in Chester and
Delaware counties in tho construc
tion of State highway route 131; also
of the co-operation of citizens and
cement corporations in aiding in the
improvement of State highway route
159, between Bethlehem and Easton.
"Many counties are offering aid to
the department in the construction
of highways on the fifty-fifty basis,"
said Mr. Fry, "while others are ta
king up the question of issuing bonds
for the same purpose, notably in Mc-
Kean county which ratified a $750,-
000 bond issue for highway construc
tion.
"In closing I will say that I am
optimistic enough to believe that
Pennsylvania, the grandest and best
State in the Union, will not, at the
proper time fail to provide the neces
sary revenue and appropriate ade
quate amounts for the carrying on of
the most necessary work of highway
improvement."
I "THEIR MARRIED LIFE" |
! I Copyright by International News Service
"I vote for a table d'hote dinner,"
said Mrs. Stevens, eagerly. "What do
you say, Helen?"
"I'd like a table d'hote myself,"
seconded Helen.
"Well, I don't see what you women
like about those places," said War
ren, disagreeably. "You get the
same food in all of them, and you
know just what to expect."
"I'm for a juicy steak myself,"
Mr. Stevens put in, "but whatever
the ladies want, we'll do of course."
Warren grumblingiy allowed him
self to be led to a table which
Helen and Mrs. Stevens selected.
Helen for the life of her did not
know why she preferred a table
d'hote meal, unless it was because
she was tired of being led about
and forced to eat thick steaks every
time she and Warren went out for
dinner.
If she had been allowed once in
a while to order what she really
wanted, things might not have been
so bad, but invariably Warren
talked her around to his way of
thinking, and she ate steak because
Warren said that it was nourishing
and just what she needed, rather
than because she was at aM fond
of It.
"We won't have steak here, any
way," Helen said a little defiantly,
laughing at Warren.
"Just what does that remark
mean?" Warren questioned.
"I'm tired of eating steak. War
ren, and you always make me share
one with you."
"That's to save your stomach
from the awful masses you select
when you are left to yourself—in
digestible salads and the like. You
don't think you'll find anything ap
petizing here, do you?"
"Yes, I do, you old crank," said
Mrs. Stevens quickly. She was priv
ileged as an old friend of the fam
ily to say what she liked to War
ren. "Helen and I had lunch here
the other day and they serve an
excellent meal."
"Cold storage chicken, I suppose,
and red ink," said Warren scorn
fully.
"Not at all," said Mrs. Stevens,
good naturedly, "anyway, you men
ought to be agreeable once in a
while. We always go to the restau
rants you select."
"Well, we're going, aren't we?"
said Warren.
"You might just as well decide
notto go as to act so disagreeable
about it," Helen, said quietly.
Warren said nothing more until
they were seated at a corner table
in the bright, cheery little restau
rant, and the waiter was bringing
the funny foreign relishes.
"I see they have lobster," Warren
said then, glancing down the menu.
"They can't be much good," Mr.
Stevens put in.
"Of course not," Warren seconded.
"Not with all the rest of the stuff
served. It just couldn't be possible
They couldn't afford to do it."
But the lobster was good. Each
portion consisted of half a Bmall
lobster, with some surprisingly good
mayonnaise served on the side. Helen
noticed that Warren ate all of his
and some of hers, which she oblig
ingly left for him. Everything so
far had been excellent. Warren was
unusually fond of noodle soup, and,
indeed, the meal had surprised even
Helen, who had never taken dinner
there —only lunch.
"Chicken or steak, sir?" the wait-i
er said suavely after he had removed
the lobster.
"Steak"'" questioned Warren, sur
prised. "Do you serve steak?"
"Oh, yes, or broiled chicken."
•"Steak for me," Warren quickly
Naval Gunners Rescued
From the Rockingham
Arrive Safely in N. Y.
By Associated Press
New York, May 18. —The British
steamship which picked up fourteen
men of the crew and naval gunners
of the American steamship Rocking
ham after that vessel was torpedoed
and sunk off the Irish coast on May
1 arrived here to-day with them.
Two men were killed when the
Rockingham was attacked. All the
survivors were returned to America.
The arrivals to-day, Third Officer
Arthur McKenny and thirteen naval
gunners, said they were adrift in an
open boat for forty-eight hours be
fore being rescued at a point about
140 miles north of the spot where
their ship sunk. They had ample
provisions and water, they said, and
suffered no hardships.
TWO CASES GO TO JURIES
Tow cases in Common Pleas courts
reached juries this afternoon. The
one was heard in courtroom No. 1
before President Judge George Kun
kel, Mrs. Annie Bordner of Carson
ville appearing against George Paul
us and asking damages for alleged
slanderous statements which were
said to have been made in October,
1915. The other was a trespass case
i before Judge S. J. M. McCarrell, Mr.
and Mrs. John E. Koons suing the
said. Mr. Stevens ordered steak too,
and the two women ordered chicken.
"You'd better order steak," War
ren said to Helen.
"That's what you always say,"
Helen said, demuredly.
They all laughed. "Well, Warren
probably means that of a lesser evil
the steak might be preferable," Mr.
Stevens explained.
"I don't see why," Mrs. Stevens
said quickly.
And then the orders were brought
and served deftly, and Warren dived
into his steak with much gusto.
"It certainly is good," he said
magnanimously after a few mouth
fuls.
"I always told you that you would
enjoy a table d'hote meal once in a
while if you made up your mind,"
Helen offered.
"Of course this can't touch a good
planked steak." Mr. Stevens put in,
"but I will say that everything has
been well cooked and of good qual
ity."
"And there is usually something
served in a meal of this kind that
everyone can eat," said Mrs. Stev
ens.
"They're all riglit once in a while," I
Warren admitted, as the coffee
came in, accompanied by some of
his favorite cheese.
"I never asked you to try it
every time," Helen returned. "I
simply wanted you to realize and
admit that your way isn't always
the only way. Once in a while it's
a good thing to give someone else
a chance."

RIFLE CLUB FURNISH
TWENTY-TWO GO
UNCLE SAM JN HOUR OF NEED
Twenty-two members in some
branch of the military service of the
nation, either in the regular service
or in training at Fort Niagara, is the
record of which the Harrisburg Rifle
Club, this city's newest semimilitary
organization, working in conjunction
with the National Rifle Association,
is Justly proud. It was precisely for
this purpose that the club was or
ganized April 3, 1916. Starting with
a roll of ten members it has grown
to a membership of one hundred and
twenty men, well organized and be
lieving strongly that the young men
of our nation should have the op
portunity to become proficient in the
use of firearms, so that when emer
gencies, such as now exist, arise, they
are prepared to meet them, well
qualified for any contingency of
war.
The Harrisburg Rifle Club was i
formed April 3, 1916, and incorpor-1
ated February 14, 1917. It operatesi
under regulations approved by act of
Congress April 27, 1914.
During the past year all of the
members have practiced strenuous
ly, with the result that last fall Ad
jutant General Thomas J. Stewart
selected fifteen of the members to
represent the Commonwealth at the
National matches, which were held
in Jacksonville, Fla. His selection
was justified. Despite the fact that
the Harrisburg boys were pitted
against experts from forty-seven
teams in the big Civilian match, they
finished in fourth place.
For its splendid work the club re
quires an adequate tract of land on
whii?h it is proposed to erect tar
gets with ranges from 200 to 1,000
yards. The club Is recognized by

Predicts Social Upheaval
if Government Neglects
to Check Rising Prices
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., May 18. Pre
dictions of a social uphtaval unless
the rising prices nf food are checked,
were made by George W. Anderson,
United Stales Attorney at Boston and
Special Assistant to Attorney General
Gregory, in co-ordination of food in
vestigations to-day before the House
agricultural committee in connection
with the administration fod control
bill.
Mr. Anderson, with great emphasis,
made this statement:
"Something must be done. That a
social and political upheaval is threat
ened cannot be denied or disregarded.
I see the signs of it. Anyone with his
ears to the ground knows It. Theru
will be a phenomena In American in
consistent with law and order unless
something is done to prevent it."
Chairman Lever explained that his
bill now pending unfinished business
of the House provides such authority.
"When potaoes, eggs and onions are
being held in to large quantities and
there probably is a combination in re
straint of trade," he said, "the At
torney General should be authorized
to seize and market part of them and
have condemnation proceedings. The
mere threat to so act probably would
be enough to make the hoarder or cor
nerer fear to repeat the offense. With
taht authority the Government can
break the corner."

blast. An exhibition of the work of
the pupils will be displayed.
Every number on the program was
encored lv.st evening at the first con
cert of the Mandolin and Guitar Club,
so well was the program received by
the audience that was in attendance,
'the concert consisted of selections by
the club; a duet by Cole and Maurer;
comic songs and daaces by Cohen and
Elscheid; impersonations by C. R.
Kirk; an instrumental selection by
the Goldstein Trio, and mandolin solos
by Professor W. D. Moyer, director of
the club.
This musical organization was just
started during the past winter, and
was kep up by the funds of the stu
dents, who paid for their own instruc
tion. The entertainment last evening
was varied, and was thoroughly en
joyed by all who were present. Those

by the National Board for the Pro
motion of Rifle Practice.
With this end in view, the club
recently arranged for the lease or
purchase of a tract of land along the
Conodoguinet creek, near Oyster's
dam, Cumberland county. Adequate
funds are required for the purpose
of digging the necessary pits and to
build the proper butts and other
safeguards.
A superintendent of one of our
patriotic corporations recently do
nated sufficient lumber and the club
is working hard for the purpose of
securing sufficient funds to complete
the range.
The club believes that the Harris
burg citizens, patriotic in all other
movements, will be glad to assist
with tho carrying out of such a pro
ject. The club is permanently estab
lished. The boys of to-day will be
the men of to-morrow —dozens of
Boy Scouts will be eligible for mem
bership within a year or two, who
will be anxious to learn to shoot
straight as their older brothers are
to-dav doing. Therefore, the Har
risburg Rifle Club appeals to all
patriotic citizens of Harrisburg and
vicinity to help along a work which
cannot help but be of service to the
city, the State and to the nation.
Contributions should be sent to Geo.

LIQUOR BANNED
IN ARMY CAMP
Reserve Officers Who Drink
Intoxicants Will Be
Expelled
Fort Niagara, N. Y., May 18.—There
is no place in the reserve officers'
training camp for the lusher or the
man immoral!; - inclined. This was
made plain to all men Wednesday by
Colonel Samuel W. Miller, the post
commander.
The members of the fifteen com
panies in cainp were informed that
any man seen leaving a saloon will
be summarily dismissed. Each com
pany was paraded on the grounds and
the order read to each one. The new
order went into effect at 6 o'clock
Wednesday niKht. It is an iron-bound
rule, and leaves absolutely no loop
hole.
A man seen entering or coming from
a saloon, or one who brings liquor
into the post is affected, and the order
also states that if the odor of intoxi
cants is detected In his breath he is
as guilty of breaking the rule as
though he entered camp in an intoxi
cated condition. Those who have been
known to visit questionable resorts
also are guilty of a sufficient infrac
tion to the rule as to cause their be
ing stripped of their uniform and sent
home.
I.lmlt to Temptation*
In addition to this, the authorities
are taking necessary precaution to
limit the temptations for the soldiers
here, as well as in the other training
camps in this State. The Governor,
Charles S. Whitman, has signed the
Newton bill authorizing the State Ex
cise Commissioner to prohibit the sale
of liquor in close proximity to camps
or barracks of troops, or near plants
where munitions of war are manu
factured. The law provides that the
State officer shall act, when request
ed to do so, by the mayors of cities
or the town boards of towns in which
the camps, barracks or plants are lo
cated.
Fort Niagara is in the town of Por
ter, but the town board will not act
in endeavoring to prevent the sale of
liquor to soldiers at Niagara unless
surne specific complaint is registered,
according to H. A. Davis, the clerk of
the town board. "We have no desire
to curtail the sale of liquor here un
less some formal complaint is lodged,"
Davis stated when questioned as to
the probable action the board might
take.
But twelve men were on the sick
list yesterday, and none of them is
serious, Chief Surgeon G. M. Ekwurzel
stated. Another ease of German
measles has been reported. The pa
tient is not seriously ill. This is the
second case in the camp.
The hospital was a busy place for a
short time yesterday because of the
hike Wednesday. Some .100 of the
rookies applied for lotions for their
feet, which had become blistered by
the long march, to which they were
not accustomed.

IS OUTLINED BY
DEFENSE BODY
Chairman Pepper Will Pre
sent Plan to State Com
mission
Chairman George Wharton Pep
per and a delegation representing
the State Committee of Public
Safety to-day outlined to the State
Defense Commission the scope of
the work which the members of the
committee believe they can under
take. The State Commission will
meet Tuesday to consider the propo
sition.
The meeting was held in the
office of the Governor and lasted
over two hours. The committee's
statement was presented formally
by Mr. Pepper. When the meeting
ended it was stated by the Governor
and Mr. Pepper that there had been
a free discussion and that the rela
tions and work of the two bodies
would be determined later.
Governor Brumbaugh denied re
ports of friction. "There was noth
ing that could be called friction,"
said he. "We differed on some mat
ters, of course, just as any people
will do in discussing a matter of
this magnitude, but the meeting
was harmonious, I want that under
stood."
"The meeting next Tuesday," con
tinued the Governor, "will be to de
fine the relations between our com
mission and the committee and a
plan for co-operation will be adopt
ed. In the meantime we will con
sider the statement submitted to us
by Chairman Pepper."
As chairman of the State Commit
tee of Public Safety Mr. Pepper
made a witty sally at criticism aim
ed at the preliminary expenses the
committee had called for out of the
$2,000,000 fund appropriated by the
Legislature.
"Let me say that we have taken
what my friends of the press are in
clined to believe are extremely
luxurious apartments in the Finance
Building," he explained, "where we
will bo glad to welcome you, and we
will take pleasure in introducing
you to some of our overpaid em
ployes. And I personally will share
with the president of this organiza
tion my rake-off in the transaction.
That is a small matter."
