(Continued) I did very much enjoy that hour in ■which my Buzz labored with a pencil and a great industry while X called to him the list of long figures and then verified as he showed me the units upon the page in the French lan guage. He made jokes at me between working while he attended his cig aret and we, together, had much laughter. "There are just three places where these ligures disagree, and X have marked them carefully, J.'Alglon," he said, as at last he laid down both pieces of the paper. "These French specifications and ligures that floor ed you represent the ideal mule in bulk, and these XJnited States ligures promise the same multitude in scrub. I thought as much. You just run in there to Bill with them and then for get you ever saw them and we'll be on our way to the girls in ten min utes. Bobby, I mean it when I say that men in your and my positions of trust just forget facts and figures the minute we get out of sight of our chiefs. And we forget the chiefs, too, believe me. Now run along and come • out to the car on the same trot." "Is it of honor not to tell to the Gouverneur Faulkner that you assist ed nie in this task, my Buzz?" I asked of him with anxiety. "No need to tell him—it's all in the same office and will come to me for filing. Don't say anything that will bring on talk that keeps us from Sue and the gang. Just run!" With which advice my kind Buzz disap peared through the door into the of fice of my uncle, the General Robert, as I softly opened the door of the room of the Gouverneur Faulkner and entered into his presence. And in that presence I found also my uncle, the General Robert, in a very grave consultation with the Gouverneur Faulkner. "The papers completed, your ex cellency," I said in a very low and meek tone of voice as I laid the papers beside him on the table and prepared to take the running depar ture that my Buzz had commanded me. The two hours that I spent with my Buzz at his club in the country with what he called in front of their very faces bunches of calico passed with such a rapidity that I felt I must grasp each minute and remon strate with them for their fleetness.

Have You Arranged For Coal? REPORTS from every section of the country show that householders gen erally are showing a desire and inten tion to store coal. In many sections they are not able to get it. The reason for their failure to get coal at a time when the car supply should be 100 per cent, of the rated capacity of the mines is a scarcity of cars. Many operators are getting only from 40 per cent, to 60 per cent, of their requirements. To add to the uncertainty of the future supply, reports come from some fields that the miners arc almost in open rebellion and are taking every pre tex to start trouble and close down the mines. The coal season is only six weeks off, at that time the motive power of the railroads may be al most entirely used for war purposes. Anthracite Retail prices are sure to advance be fore winter.

Sue was even much more lovely in her gray costume of golf with a .tie the color of the one worn by my Buzz than she had been in her chiffon of the dinner dance, and the beautiful Belle was much the same, with an added gayety and charm, while I discovered a very sweet Kate Keith and a Mildred Summers who was not of great beauty, but of many interesting remarks which induced much laughter. With them were that Miles Menefee whom my Buzz had recommended to me and also several young gentlemen of America whom I like exceedingly. "Come on, L'Aiglon. It's time to beat it. We are late, and Sue is be ginning to shoo," called my Buzz from the door of the card room. "My Buzz," I said to that Mr. Buzz Clendenning as he raced the slim car through the country and the city up to the Capitol hill, "you give to me a life of much joy in only a few days. 1 would that it could so continue." "That's all right, Prince. Don't mention it," he, answered me with a laugh. "And, say, let's get to work, because at about 4 o'clock I'll have something that'll give you a start." "Oh, but, my Buzz, at 4 o'clock I must go for tea to the home of beautiful Madam Whitworth." "Whe-ee-uh!" whittled my Buzz as he looked at me from the top of my head to the toes of my shoes. "Go ahead, sport, but accept It from me that Madam Pat is the gen uine and original pump, so don't let her empty you. Do you want me to come by and extract you at about fifteen to 5? I'm sorry but I really must have a business interview with you before 6." And my Buzz's eyes twinkled with something that was of a great pleasure to him, I could ob serve. "I would be of more pleasure to me if you came at the half of 5, my Buzz," I made a hurry to assure him, for I had a great dread of all of the falsehoods I was to say to that Madam Whitworth that afternoon for the purpose of extracting per haps a little wicked truth from her to help in the defense of my Gouv erneur Faulkner. "I'm on." answered my Buzz promptly. "Beat it! I hear the old boy growling." And he disappeared behind the door of my uncle, the General Robert. I went to the duty of assuring the nice gentleman in very rough clothing that the gouverneur would in the morning read the paper on the subject of making a long road past his property in good condition by a vote. The hour of 4 ended my duties for the day. Roberta, marquise of Grez and Bye, did so long to go into that room of the Gouverneur Faulkner and receive upon her hand one nice kiss of good night from him, but Mr. Robert Carruthers walked down from the fapitol and only paused to lift for a little second his very hand some hat toward the window of his excellency's room high up above. And the encounter with the beauti ful Madam Whitworth was much' worse than I had thought that It would be, though also it was of a very interesting excitement. She.had made armaments for the encounter in the shape of a very lovely tea ap parel of an incredible thinness to be used for covering, a little low fire In the golden grate and curtains of rose to throw somewhat of glow over the situation. Immediately I was seated beside her on a small divan upon which there was room for only one and a half persons, and my stupidity was called into vigorous action. (To be Continued) All's Well That *z Ends Well M The College Girl Who Found That Affection Plays a Big Part in Life. By JANE McLEAN. "She really doesn't seem at all cold, she's so perfectly wonderful to look at," said Lenore the practical. "She's a darling," mourned eFather, "but I'm mortally afraid of her." Feather was the smallest girl In the little circle, and every one else petted her to her heart's content. "You think she ought to spoil you as we do, don't you, child?" said tall, stately Ruth. "But Lenore is right," came from Bob the tomboy. "She's wonderful to look at, and I Imagine that under that icy reserve of hers there must be warmth and emotion." The speakers were a crowd of col lege girls gathered in one room,, talk ing college gossip. The girl they were discussing was an outsider, but an outsider from choice. There was not one of the small group that would not have welcomed her intq their midst, but something about her made them wary, something that warned against any demonstration of affec tion. Joyce Wyndham was the interesting point of discussion. She had never been known to unbend toward any one. In a general way everybody liked her, but she had no special friends, and she was adored secretly by cuddly little Feather, who, used to homage, would fain have had Joyce meet her half way. Joyce was a strangel girl. She scorned affection. All repression herself, she thought the nonsense of the other girls, the friendly gossip, the light banidage, the merry good-nights, unnecessary. In a word, she had never learned the poignant sweetness of an emotional outlet. The light caress of a girl's arm about her shoulders was a thing un known to Joyce, and to cuddle Feath er up against her on the couch would have been a thing so strange as to be unthought of entirely. "She's a darling, but I can never be comfortable with her," was the unani mous decision of the girls, and con sequently she was never approached by any of them, and she lived a strangely lonely life at college. Sometimes the smallest incidents have tjje greatest weight in this world. Anyway, Joyce called at Mar bury House that evening to see about a Greek paper that she had recently finished, and over a bowl of red roses sire and Miss Jordan discussed the paper at length, and Anally touched upon other subjects. Joyce, calm and imperturbable and distinctly unap proachable, astonished the older wom an with her remarks upon life. They were so cold, so brilliantly logical, so unfeminine, that they contradicted all of the picture that Joyce uncon sciously tnade. "Miss Wyndham," said Miss Jor dan finally, "if you really believe what you say, your looks, are all wrong. Haven't you ever loved anyone?" •JNot the way you mean," the girl returned quickly. "Haven't you ever had a desire to Resinol the home remedy for sick skins When someone in the family de velops an itching patch of rash or eczema, you want something that will give immediate relief and heal the trouble before it has a chance to become serious. The success of Resinol for skin-troubles has been proven by years of use by physi cians and in the home. I Resinol is also a valuable healing dressing for chafings, cuts, burns, apd sore places gen* erally. Sold by all druggists. HARRXSBURG TELEGRAPH cuddle a small kitten or touch the cheek of a baby?" "Never," Joyce returned quickly. "I never have seen any use for unneces sary affection. Father and I have al ways lived together, his temperament Is very much the same." Joyce had unfathomable eyes. They looked as if they were slumbering', as if they were not quite awake to what life meant after all. The utter loveliness of the girl awoke some thing in Miss Jordan's heart, a sud den desire for experiment. "Suppose you see If you can't know me a little bit," she said evenly. Joyce looked up as if she had not heard aright. Was this the great Miss Jor dan, the head of the Greek depart ment, and was she making a remark like this? Joyce had risen to go, and she smiled a little. "I have wanted to know you for so long," she said a lit tle breathlessly. I hope you will let me really be your friend." "I'll do more than that, I'll teach you to like me," sartl Miss Jordan, crossing the room and taking the girl's face betw*een her hands. "Good night. little friend," she said softly, kissing the red cheek, "come and see me again very soon, and we'll talk some more about real life." And Joyce, walking back over the campus, felt suddenly a stirring of fellow feeling in her heart, a sudden craving for the happy-go-lucky col lege life, with its warmth of affection. She was still pondering when she reached the top of the stairs and met Feather In the hall. Feather was all bundled up in a kimono and she she looked a little wistfully at Joyce. Somehow she reminded Joyce of the kitten Miss Jordan had spoken of, and Joyce smiled back. Then impulsively she hugged Feather up close to her before she slipped into her own room. "I saw Joyce Wyndham with her arm around Feather." said Bob, tum bling into Lenore's room a few min utes later. "Humph!" returned Ignore practi cally, "perhaps she's human, after all —who knows?"

She was too happy at the prospect of a trip to Coney to worry about how they went. Warren had come home from the office hot and j tired and had suggested that they go down there and have a shore din- j ner. Helen had not been to Coney Island in several years, and the mem- | ory of her last trip lingered in her mind. Somehow there was a casting off of conventional trappings about go ing down there. One must perforce accept the standards of the good-] natured crowd that is always to be' found at Coney and there is a cam araderie about its unmistakable at mosphere that is not to be found anywhere else. "We'll go down by boat, then; it's coolest, and we can come back any way we like." Helen dressed simply in a white linen coat and skirt. After they had started she wished vaguely that she had suggested asking another couple. Four made the fun so much better, but as Warren had not spoken of it, she hesitated about mentioning a change of plan, and they secured good seats on a boat that wa> not too crowded and proceeded to enjoy the evening to the full. The trip down was cool and the air was refreshing. The day had been uncomfortably warm and War ren enjoyed everything. They had their shore dinner, took in some rides where Warren chuckled and Helen screamed and were ready to come back at 9 o'clock. "That's what I call a regular even ing," Warren said contentedly as they stolled along toward the boat.

Helen observed the girls and boys j I with keen enjoyment. It always i i amused and interested her to study human nature and the remarks of the crowd, although crude, were funny in the main! She turned to Warren after a few minutes, -imiling amusedly only to meet his face dark, as a thunder- i : cloud. "What's the matter, dear?" "Matter?" ho retored, "matter enough. I wonder if we are going to be forced to stand for that pack of hoodlums all evening." "They don't mena any harm," said Helen pacifically, wishing that Warren would not talk so loud. "It's an outrage," fumed Warren. "Enough to disgust any decent man. We can't change our seats either un less we want to give up places by the rail." "Well, don't pa^ - any attention, dear," Helen urged. "They'll stop ] when we sail." The laughter and calling back and forth gave way after a little while to i singing.

"That settles Cohey for i me for a good while to come." "I've had a wonderful evening, j dear," Helen returned brightly. "I don't see what pleasure there j was to be gotten out of the last part l of it," Warren growled. "They didn't bother me." "It's disgraceful, that's what it Is." "But. you don't look at it from their standpoint, dear," Helen re turned. "Most of those girls have) no place at home to see their sweet- j hearts. How else are they to do j their courting? After all, life is as sweet for them as it is for us, only j they don't have our advantages." "I suppose that means that you are standing sponsor for those ac tions?"

The truth of the matter was that he hated to bo worsted in an argument or to be precipitated into a discussion which offered him one graceful loophole of escape. "You can keep your views to your self," he said disagreeably, "if you enjoy that, kind of thing. I like my amusement served up in a different manner myself."
