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

There was a pause and then she went
on: "I suppose you know what has
been happening since you ran away
—what has been done in Lawrence
ville, I mean?"
"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

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

him seem commonplace in her eyes?
Not a Commonplace Man
Surely Brewsier Norton was not
commonplace. 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.

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.

WEED OUT MEN
AT FT. 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.

face calendars ranking among the
heaviest of the session for the meet
ings to-night when it is hoped that

the Governor about June 21. The di
rect inheritance tax bill will be sent
to the Governor to-night. He has
eleven bills on his desk now and the
big list passed last week remains to

Footprints Give Mother
Her Own Little Baby
Baltimore. June 11.—The footprint
system of identifying babies used at
the .Maryland General Hospital, has
cleared up a case of mistaken iden
tity that for a time kept the police
guessing. Three months ago a wom
an from North Carolina gave birth to
an infant, the footprints of the child
were taken and placed on file in the
maternity department. Several weeks
inter the mother returned to North
Carolina leaving her baby with
friends.
Coincident with the woman's de
parture an abandoned baby was
found in the vestibule of a house
here. The foundling was taken to
the hospital and soon afer the moth
er of the baby born in the maternity
department returned and In some
manner the foundling was turned
over to her. She said it was not hers
nnd at once footprints taken of her
baby were produced and in short or
der her own infant was found and
returned to her.
