And as j he made this judgment of women ; I forgot for a moment that we dis- : cussed that Madam Whitworth whom | it was causing me great pain to dis- j cover to be the enemy of France, and I thought of my beautiful mother, whom he had judged without ever having encountered, and a great longing rose in my heart so to com fort myself that his heart should learn to trust me as a man and then , discover the honor of woman through me at some future time.' I took a resolve that such should be ] the case, and to that end I asked of j him: "How is it that I can serve you in | these serious troubles, my Uncle Robert?"

Your letter was handed to me in the governor's private office and bqth he and I saw what a help it would be to have you here when this Frenchie—who is a Count Something or Other—and his servants and secretaries, what he calls his suit, arrive. By George, sir. we need your advice in eating ajid drinking them. Do you suppose they'll have intelligence enough to eat the manna of the gods, which is corn pone, and drink the nectar, which is plain whisky, or will we be expected to furnish them with snails and absinth?" At that I laughed a very large laugh and made this answer to perturbation of my uncle, the Gen eral Robert: "I will tell you after luncheon, my Uncle Robert, because I have not as yet eaten in this Harpeth country of American" "All right; we'll talk about it after you've had one of old Kizzie's fried chicken dinners. Here we are at the mansion. Remember, you know the whole situation and are only supposed to know the part that Governor Bill thinks is the whole. Look at me, boy!" And as the big car drove up to the curb before a great stone house with tall pillars on guard of its front, he laid both his hands upon my shoulders and turn ed me toward him with force and no gentleness, and then with his keen eyes did he look down into the very soul of me. "Yes, I see I can trust you, sir. God bless you, boy!" he said, after a very long moment of time. "Yes, my Uncle Robert," I an swered him without turning my eyes from h'.s. "W3ll, then, here we are. I came to the side door so I wouldn't have to introduce you to any of the boys this morning, for we want to have a talk with the governor before dinner, and I don't dare keep Kizzie waiting. It riles her, and a riled woman burns up things, masters, husbands, cooking or worse. Come on." "Here's my boy, governor," was all the introduction my uncle, the Gen eral Robert, administered to me; then I stood and looked into the face of him whom afterward I discover ed to be the greatest gentleman in the world, with my heart beating in my throat and yet astir under my woman's breast in the place it had always before resided, after we had been ushered into the gouverneur's room by an old black servant called Cato. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! CHAPTER V. "We Both Need You." "I do not know how it Is that I shall find words in which to write down the loveliness of that gouvern eur of Old Harpeth. He was not as tall as my uncle, the General Robert, and he was slender and lithe as some wild thing in a forest, but the power in the broadness of his shoulders and in the strength of his nervous hands was of a greatness of which to be frightened—that is, I think, of which a man should be frightened, but in which a woman would take much glory. His hair was of the tarnished gold of a sunset storm, and upon his I temples was a curved crest of white that sparkled like the spray of a I wave. All of which I must have seen j with some kind of inward eyes from from the moment my eyes lifted themselves from contemplating the carpet in embarrassment over my tweed trousers they were looking in to his in a way which at dawn my eyes have gazed into the morning star rising near to me over the little wood at the Chateau de Grez. "It is good that you have come. Robert Carruthers, for the general and I both need you." were the words I heard him saying to me in a voice that was as deep and of as much in terest as the eyes, and as he spoke those words he took one of my hands in both of his strong ones. "And if you say snails, snails it shall be, if Cato and I have to invade every rose garden in Hayesville and vicinity and stay up all night to catch them." "I think I shall choose that corn pone and whisky that my uncle, the General Robert, has promised to me from one bad tempered cook to the time of my luncheon," I found my self saying with a laugh that answer ed the barefooted boy who suddenly looked at me out of the cool eves. "I thought I would let him have a tryout with Kizzie before we decided to feed the savages," also said'my uncle, the General Robert, with a laugh. "Besides, he's one himself, and I'll have to go slow and tame him gradually." "Xo, he's ours. He's just come back to his own from a strange land, gen eral, and you'll kill the fatted calf or rooster, whichever Kizzie decides, with joy at getting him." And this time the star eyes gave to me the quick sympathy for which I had prayed before the Virgin with the in fant in her arms in the little chapel of the old convent just before we had to flee from the shells, leaving my father to the sister to bury after the enemy had come. I think my eyes did tell that tale to his, and the tears ached in my throat.

V • Daily Dot Puzzle ■ All's Well That M Ends Well ■ The Story of a Girl Whose Mother Thought Money Was Life's First Consideration By JANE McLEAN. "I think she could have done a great deal better." "But, my dear." expostulated Myra's easy-going father, "if she's happy, that's all we want, isn't it?" "Oh. I suppose so. but what can she see in him? He hasn't any money and for my part I don't think he's a bit good-looking." "What did you see in me, my dear?" Mrs. Johnson laughed at this. "Oh, now, Walt, if you're going to be foolish," she remonstrated. "But I'm not foolish, I'm Just speaking the truth. What did you see in me? I had no money, and I wasn't good looking." "But I wanted Myra to marry well," the mother mourned. "We gave her everything, a college education, and every single advantage, and she could have had Racy Harlowe if she had played her cards right." The conversation had arisen con cerning the engagement of Myra Johnson and the man she had chosen above all others for her husband. Slim and tall and dark and distin guished-looking, the young artist had stood nowhere in Mrs. Johnson's esti mation because he hadn't wealth. Racy Harlowe was the son and heir of one of the oldest families in town, he was to be taken into the bus iness as soon as he decided to settle down. He owned an orange racing car from which he has taken his nick name, "Racy," and his tines for speed ing were numerous. He was sup posed to be a great catch, and because Myra had everything to make her desired above all other girls, the young man's car often stood at the curb outside of the Johnson home. Mrs. Johnson had begun to dream dreams. It hadn't taken long to bring all of them about her head in ruin, however. Just the chance meeting of Myra. and this stranger, a few weeks of feverish courtship when the girl Hushed too quickly to suit her mother, and answered the telephone on the extension wire, and this was the result. Myra had told them last night that she was to marry Dan Mitchell. Didn't Myra tell you anything about it?" questioned Mr. Johnson after a few minutes' pause In the conversation. Mrs. Johnson hesitated. She was suddenly smitten with the reason why Myra had said nothing about it. Cer tainly the mother had given the girl no reason to think that she might receive sympathy and approval. Myra was too clever not to see that way matters stood. As Mrs. Johnson hesi tated before speaking the outer door slammed and a moment later Myra herself came into the room. Mrs. Johnson's swept the girl, quickly, appraisingly, then they soft ened as the eyes of mother and daughter mt for a moment. "Mother," Myra breathed, "won't you try to feel differently about It, won't you please?" "It wouldn't make and difference whether we did or not, would It, Myra?" her mother replied. "No, not if you mean about marry ing Dan," the girl said softly but resolutely. "Oh. Myra, and you might have COULD ONLY WORK PART TIME Sanpan Put Him On the Job All the Time Mr. Charles Fatten, steelworker, livlpg on Second street, Steelton, says: "I have been ailing a long time, and was discouraged for I could only work part of the time. I v was both ered a lot with my kidneys, at times would have attacks of nervousness and trembling, shooting pains In my back and limbs. "At other times I had a high tem perature, my head and throat were badly clogged up, my eyes were ln llamed, and I was troubled a lot with headache, which felt as If a band were drawn tightly around It. "I was in a bad way. Finally I was persuaded to try Sanpan, which, I am glad to say. drove away my pain, cleared my head and throat, relieved my headache and gave me the vigor and vim necessary for a workingman to work steadily. "I hereby recommend panpan as the best medicine ever." Sanpan is now being introduced at Keller's Drug Store, 405 Market street. Hfrrlsburg, where the Sanpan man is explaining It to the people. Sanpan is sold only at Keller's— beware of imitations and substitutes. All good things are'usually imitated. —Adv. married Racy," wailed Mrs. Johnson again, and the cat was out of the bag. "So that was wny you treated me so last night" the girl said, drawing her slim figure up to its fullest height. "Mother, dad, I don't think you know all there is to know about Racy Harlowe, or you wouldn't feel that way."

He's the kind of a man that women think they must forgive for certain weaknesses because of his wealth and power in the community. You didn't think I was that kind, did you? That wasn't why you wanted me to go to college, was it? I hope not. ' "Racy has played fast and loose with a great many girls. Ever since his college days I have heard tales about him, and tales that women would speak of lightly, too, because they had been brought up to think it all right for a man to sow his wild oats. There's a poor little girl in the lower part of town that Racy has cast aside. She had been doing some mending for me; and she loves him. poor little thing! And yet you would give me willingly to a man like that and refuse to accept Dan when he is the truest, finest man in the world." "Myra," her father cried, springing to his feet, "don't talk like that, girl! Vour mother and I only want what will make you happy. We didn't know you felt this way child!" and the next minute Myra was crushed up little-girlwise against her father's shoulder. Mrs. Johnson was wiping eyes with a fragile piece of linen. "And we'll see about your trousseau to-morrow," she said, struggling with her sobs. "Kiss your old mother, dear —I'm so sorry and ashamed!"
