Copyright by Cu-vs. ii-i'bner'a Sou (Continued) Smith was needing another stenog rapher and he looked the applicant oyer appraisingly. The appraisal was not entirely satisfactory. There was a certain shifty furtlveness in the half opened eyes, and the rather weak chin hinted at a possible lack of the discreetness which is the prime re quisite in a confidential clerk." "Any business experience?" "Yes; I've done some railroad work." "Here in Brewster?" Shaw lied smoothly. "No; in Oma ha." "Any recommendations?" The young man produced a hand ful of "To Whom It May Concern" letters. They were all on business let terheads. and were apparently genu ine, though none of them were local. Smith_ ran them over hastily and he had no means of knowing that they had been carefully prepared by Crawford Stanton at no little cost In ingenuity and painstaking. How careful the preparation hud been was revealed in the applicant's ready suggestion. "You can write or wire to any of these gentlemen," he said; "only, if there is a job open. I'd be glad to go to work on trial." The business training of the pres ent makes for quick decisions. Smith snapped a rubber band around the letters and shot them into a pigeon hole of his desk. "We'll give you a chance to show what you can do," he told the man out of work. "If you measure up to the requirements, the job will be per manent. You may come in to-mor row morning and report to Mr. Mil ler. the chief clerk." Having other things to think of Smith forgot the sleepy-eyed young fellow instantly. But it is safe to as sume that he would not have dis missed the incident so readily if he had known that Shaw had been wait ing in the anteroom during the bet ter part of the dictating interval, and that on the departing appli cant's cuffs were miscroscopic notes of a number of the more important j letters. CHAPTER XIII. "Sweet Fortune's Minion." It was late dinner-time when Smith closed the big roll-top desk in the new private suite in the Kin zie building offices and went across the street to the hotel. The great dining room of the Hophra House was on the ground floor. The room was well filled, but the head waiter found Smith a small table in the shelter of one of the pillars and brought him an evening paper, Smith gave his dinner order and began to glance through the paper. The subdued chatter and clamor of the big room dinned pleasantly In his ears. Half absently he realized that the head waiter was seating some one at the place opposite his own; then the faint odor of violets, instantly reminiscent, came to his nostrils. He knew instinctively, and before he could put the newspaper aside, what had happened. Hence the shock, when he found himself face to face with Verda Richlander, was not so completely paralyzing as it might have been. She was looking across at him with a lazy smile in the glorious brown eyes, and the surprise was quite evidently no sur prise for her. "I told the water to bring me over here," she explained; and then, quite pleasantly: "It is an exceedingly lit tle world, isn't it. Montague?" He nodded gloomily. "Much too little for a man to hide in," he agreed; adding: "But I think I have known that, all along: known, at least, that it would be only a ques tion of time." After the waiter had taken Miss Richlander's order she began again. "Why did you run away?" she asked. Smith shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "What else was there for me to do? Besides, I believed, at the time, that I had killed Dunham. I could have sworn he was dead when I left him." She was toying idly with the salad fork. "Sometimes I am almost sorry that he wasn't," she offered. "Which is merely another way of saying that you were unforgiving enough to wish to see me hanged?" he suggested, with a sour smile. "It wasn't altogether that; no." If you want health you can have it, by heeding Nature's laws. Keep the stomach strong, the liver active, the blood pure, and the bowels regular, and you will seldom be ill. Take good care of these organs, and at the first sign of anything wrong—promptly take Beecham's Pills. you certainly need the nelp and relief of this world-famed remedy, to keep the body in health. They quickly establish nor mal conditions, so the organs perform their functions as Nature intended. No other remedy will so surely strengthen the system, stimulate the liver, regulate the bowels and quickly improve the general health as ftEECHAMShLLS Direction* of Special Value to Women are with Every Box.

"I know that I have been indicted by the grand jury and that there is a reward out for me. It's two thousand dollars, isn't it?" She let the exact figure of the re ward go unafflrmed. "And still you are going about in public as if all the hue and cry meant nothing to you? The beard is an im provement —it makes you look older and more determined—but it doesn't disguise you. I should have known you anywhere, and other people will." Again his shoulders went up. "What's the use?" he said. "I couldn't dig deep enough nor fly high enough to dodge everybody. You have found me, and if you hadn't, somebody else would have. It would have been the same any time and anywhere." "I was intending to go on up to the mines with father," she said evenly. "But last .evening, while I was waiting for him to finish his talk with some mining men, I was stand ing in the mezzanine, looking down into the lobby. I saw you go to the desk and leave your key; I was sure I couldn't he mistaken: so I told father that I had changed my mind about going out to the mines and he seemed greatly relieved. He had been trying to persuade me that I would be much more comfortable if I should wait for him here." It was no stirring of belated senti ment that made Smith say: "You— you cared enough to wish to see me?" "Naturally," she replied. "Some people forget easily: others don't. I suppose 1 am one of the others." Smith remembered the proverb about a woman scorned and saw a menace more to be feared than all . ((11l *7*- {!| m m L 'But You Believe Me Guilty, Don' Ypu?" the terrors of the law lurking in the even-toned rejoinder. It was with some foolish idea of thrusting the menace aside at any cost that he said: "You have only to send a ten word telegram to Sheriff Macauley, you know. I'm not sure that it isn't your duty to do so." "Why should you telegraph Barton Macauley?" she asked placidly. "I'm not one of his deputies." "But you believe me guilty, don't you?"

"The Insider" By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER LVI Copyright, 1917, Star Co'mpany. "Hello!" Tom greeted us as we drew tip at the veranda steps. Have you had a nice ride "Delightful!" my companion re plied, this saving me the necessity of an answer. "So pleasant, in fact, that we came back home around the long way—by the wooded road. Help Miss Dart out, Tom, and I will take the car back to the garage." "I'll take it back, father," the boy offered. "No," Mr. Norton said, "I want to give an order to James. He is prob ably asleep, and might be cross if you woke him up—but he won't be cross with me if I arouse him from his slumbers. He did not get out of the car as I arose, nor did he apologize for not doing so. There was no need of it, for Tom and Hugh Parker stood on each side of me as I sprang to the ground. "The moonlight makes you look awfully white; Miss Dart," Tom ob served. "It always makes people look pale," Hugh Parker remarked quick ly. I wondered if he wished to draw comment away from me. but I was too tired to speculate much about it. "Good-night!" my employer said, lifting his hat, then starting the car. "I'll see you all in the morning." "I'm going right upstairs," I re marked to Tom, who had followed me up the front steps. As my eyes met his I noticed again the intent look that I had seen in his mother's picture. How much he was like her—the first wife of this man who had askd me to marry him! I remembered the lad's re sentment" when he spoke of his father's having forgotten the woman who had borne him his only son. I felt all at once that I wanted to beg this boy not to be angry with me if I should marry his father. I was fond of Tom. I could not bear to lose his regard. The Boy Is Solicitous "What's the matter. Miss Dart?" he demanded. "What are you think ing of? You look as if you had rec ollected something miles away," He smiled, and I tried to smile back at him. "I did just happen to recollect something," I told him. "You were right in that guess." "Can I attend to it for you?" he asked. "Where is it —or what is It?" "It's nothing that you can attend to for me —just now," I rejoined. "Thank you just the same. Good night!" I held out my hand to him, and he gave it a boyish grip. I longed to drop my head on his shoulder and cry. He seemed suddenly like my very own brother. I turned away be fore the rising tears reached the sur face. "Good-night, Miss Dart!" Parker said. "Good-night!" I returned, hurry ing past him into the house. . A second later I wished I had shaken hands with him. It would hurt me to have him think I had slighted him. I had ignored his out stretched hand because I had been afraid to pause lest the tears that were rising overflow. And to seem unhappy would be fatal. I must get into the habit of acting as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Gore called to me as I was on my way from the second to the third floor. She came out of her room. "Ihave been listening for Grace, but she has made no sound that 1 have heard," she informed me. "Did you have a nice ride?" "The moonlight was wonderful," a evaded. "Thank you for listening for Gvace. Good-night, Mrs. Gore." It was not until I was in my own room that I let the tears of reaction and nervousness overflow. But I did not cry long. To yield to such weakness now would make self-con trol harder later on. And why was I crying? What a silly girl 1 was! I was not forced to marry a man just because he asked me to. I had promised nothing—except to try to love him. To try to love him! Why, now that I had promised this, did all glamour fade from my thoughts of him? Was that always the way with a girl? Did the mere fact that a man wanted her to marry him make S' r "n! • Gaining (hound : ; IS EASY ! in Sport or Business jj • WHEN BOOT AND BRAIN ! ARE WELL FED !

I recalled his distin guished hearing, his prosperous air —the air of a man of the world who has won success. Had I not noticed that afternoon when we had tea to gether at the Waldorf that he was the finest looking man in the room? Why did I feel no thrill now as I remembered that he wanted to make me his wife? Undressing. I got into bed and lay there staring out into the room. The windows were open, and the moon light Altered through the thin net curtains. 1 closed my eyes and tried to sleep. Instead there floated before me a vision of three faces. One was my employer's. I noticed that the lines about his mouth were deep, and that his hair was graying fast. Then, against the darkness, I seemed to set two younger faces. The first was Tom's, with the intent look I knew so well—Tom, the lad who was like a younger brother to me. The other face was Hugh Parker's —the tutor whom I knew so slightly. I saw the blue syes, the fair hair, the clean-cut features, the flashing smile that showed his regular, white teeth. "Oh," I sighed, opening my eyes, "it's wonderful to he young! There's nothing like youth!" Jumping out of bed, I crept into the nursery, bending over Grace. I kissed her softly. "I want to stay with you, darling," I whispered. She did not stir and I started back to my own room. As I passed the front window I saw someone moving in the path leading to the side gate. Who could be wandering here at this hour? Then X recalled that it was my employer. He was walking up and down, his head bowed. A swift compassion smote me. I did not look again, but ran back into \my room, and, lying down, resolved to sleep and to forget my problems for a few hours. (To Be Continued.) MRS C. BI'HRMAN DIES Waynesboro, Pa., June 11.

LIBERTY LOAN WILL PASS GOAL [Continued From First Page.] call for men and money with which to prosecute the war. John S. Musser, team captain, re ported that he bad sold $2,250 in bonds since the close of the campaign, and Frank C. Sites, postmaster, also a team captain, told of the patriotic ef forts of two foreign-born members of his team, Edward Moesline and Peter Magaro, and their success in selling bonds in the foreign quarters. The post office force, he said, had come forward nobly, 125 out of the force of 150 having subscribed. V. W. Kenny told of two extremes encountered in rounds, the first a man who, before war was declared, had been condemning the President for not getting into it and telling everybody how anxious he was to "take off his coat and fight," and who refused to buy a bond to help support the Presi dent now the country is in. The other was an old colored woman who volun tarily subscribed SIOO, agreeing to pay $2 a week for a year. "I'm goin' to work nights. I know where 1 can gpt another washing," she said, "and that's how I'm going to get money to pay my debt to the union." Mr. I.ccoq He port* Mr. Lecoq, in charge of the bond salesmen, was highly complimented by President Buchanan for his part in helping Edson J. Hockenbury stage the campaign, particularly in the sur rounding towns, where the bond sales men did such splendid work. Mr. Lecoq was Mr. Hockenbury's right hand man. Mr. LeCoq reported that Dauphin county is the only county in Penn sylvania that has oversubscribed its allotment up to this time and that in the New York district the only city that has more than its allotment sub scribed is Rye, and Harrisburg has done better than it. Mr. Lecoq paid a high compliment to the ability and energy of the bond salesmen and said their work was illustrated by the fact that little Miliersburg alone has sub scribed SIOO,OOO. Mr. Stackpole interrupted to remark that E. Hoyt Weston, one of Mr. Lecoq's lieutenants in the campaign, had just been appointed captain in the quartermaster's department of the pfficers reserve corps of the United States army, which announcement was received with cheers. Mr. Lecoq thanked the Rotarians for their part in the name of Edson J. Hockenbury, a member of the club, who, after arranging the campaign here, was summoned to Milwaukee, to put on a bis Red Cross campaign along similar lines. In tabulating the returns of the Liberty Loan subscriptions at the Board of Trade meeting on Saturday an error was made in the report of the executive committee, which should have been $101,850 instead of $101,780. which made the grand to tal $3,605,100 instead of $3,605,030. In the report of the Central Iron and Steel Company and the Harris burg Pipe and Pipe Bending Com pany, the subscriptions were revers ed as orinted. The Central with 1,500 employes has taken SIOO,OOO of the bonds and the Pipe Bending force with 2,168 men. has taken $125,000. It is stated that the grand total will exceed $4,000,000.

NIAGARA Twenty-Two Student Officers Dropped in Week; Others Are to Go Fort Niagara, N. Y., June 11.-t- During the past week twenty-two student officers were dismissed from the camp for one cause or another. The majority of these were let out because of physical disability. The confidential board has done nothing as yet regarding the dismissal of the mentally incompetents. It is likely that these men will be selected dur ing the coming week so that when the student officers start on their sec ond course, on June 18, there will be no further deletions. The surgeons were able to make but few examinations this week. To day more than a hundred were ex amined, and it is said several of these were found physically unfit and will be recommended for dismissal. The total number of men released since camp opened fs now fifty-two. Colonel Samuel Miller, the post commandant, has received orders from the War Department directing that on June 18 his camp shall com prise ten companies, nine companies of infantry and one troop of cavalary. The cavalry, the order stated, shall continue training as infantrymen. The members of the troop will not be supplied with mounts. The troop of cavalry will be broken up. the mem bers joining either the infantry or artillery companies.
