BIG TIMBER *y BERTRAND W. SINCLAIR C*p7ri*ht. 1916. fcy UMkb Inm 6 Co. j (Continued.) But she stood looking out of the window after he left, uneasy with a prescience of trouble. She watched with a feverish interest the stir that presently arose about the bunk liouses. That summer a wide space had been cleared between bungalow and camp. She could see moving lanterns and even now and then hear the voices of men calling to each other. Once the Panther's dazzling eye of a searchlight swung across the landing, and its beam picked out a file of men carrying their blankets toward the boat. Shortly after that the tender rounded the point. Close behind her went the Waterbug, and both boats swarmed with men. Stella looked and listened until "there was but a faint thrum far up , the lake. Then she went to bed. but not to sleep. What ugly pas-, sions were loosed at the lake head ; she did not know. But on the face 1 of it she could not avoid wondering if Monolian had deliberately set out to cross and harass Jack Pyfe-*-be- j cause of her? That was the question ' which had hovered on her lips that ( evening, one she had not brought < herself to ask. Because of her or because of some enmity that far pre- : ceded her. She had thought him j big enough to do as she had done, I as Fyfe was tacitly doing—make the i best of a grievous matter. But if he had allowed his passions j to dictate reprisals she trembled for! the outcome. Fyfe was not a man 1 to sit quiet tinder either affront or ! injury. He would light with double | rancor if Monohan were his adver sary. "If anything happens up there I'll hate myself." she whispered when the ceaseless turning of her mind had become almost unendur able. "I was a silly, weak fool ever to let Walter Monohan know I cared. And I'll hate him, too, if- he makes me a bone of contention. I elected to play the game the only decent way there is to play it. So did he. Why can't he abide by that?" Noon of the next day saw the j Waterbug heave to a quarter mile! .abeam of Cougar point to let off a I lone figure in her dinghy and then bore on, driving straight and fast i for Roaring Springs.

I've knowed some wild times in the woods in the past." The man In the dink was Lefty Howe. He pulled in beside the float. When he stepped up on the planks he limped perceptibly. "Land alive, what happened you, Lefty?" his wife cried. "Got a rap on the leg with a peev.v," he said. "Nothtn* much." "Why did the Waterbug go down the lake?" Stella asked breathlessly.

Stella felt herself grow sick. Death is a small matter when it strikes afar, among strangers—when it comes to one's door! Billy Dale had piloted the Waterbug for a year, a chubby, round faced boy of twenty a foster son of Mother Howe's be fore she had children of her own. Stella had asked Jack to put him on the Waterbug because he was such a loyal, cheery sort of soul, and Billy had been a part of every ex pedition they had taken around the lake. She could not think of him a.? a rigid, lifeless lump of clay. Why, only the day before he had been laughing and chattering aboard the cruiser, going up and down the cabin floor on his hands and knees. Jack Junior perched triumphantly astride his back. "What happened??" she cried wildly. "Tell me, quick!" "It's quick told," Howe said grim- Iv "We were ready at daylight. Monohan's got a hard crew, and they jumped us as soon as wc started to clear the channel. So we cleared them first. It didn't take so long. Three of our men was used bad, and there's plenty of sore heads on both sides, but we did the job. After we got them on the run we blowed up their swifters and piles with giant; then we begun - to put the cedar through. Billy, was on the bank when somebody shot him from I acres? the river.

Stella turned and walked up to i the house, stunned. She could not' j credit bloodshed, death. Always in I her life both had been things re- j ! mote. And as the real significance of Lefty Howe's story grew on her she shuddered. It lay at her door, j equally with her and Monohan, even if neither of their hands had sped the bullet an indirect responsibility, but grev.-somely real to her. (To be continued.)

You will find all Itching and dig gln* of the scalp will stop lnstantlv, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. fiARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! Life's Problems Are Discussed By MRS. WII.SON WOODKOW "If love were all! If love were But, alas: in marriage as it exists I to-day love is not all. There are economic considerations to be reck : oneil with, social considerations, [ethical ones, and the whole question i is so clouded by the moot authority of Church and State, by custom, sen timent and the circumstances of each individual case that to lay down any j hard and fast axioms about it would I tax the ingenuity of the traditional | Philadelphia lawyer. Even St. Paul, when it came to a discussion of marriage, had to con fess that revelation failed him. He made some trenchant comments, it is true, but he was careful to explain that he did so on his own authority. "But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment," he said. "It is I speaking and not the Lord." It may seem a superfluous admis sion to state that I am neither St. Paul nor a Philadelphia lawyer. Yet I am constantly appealed to to discuss this or that phase of the mar riage question. Of the letters I re ceive. cgiht out of ten touch upon the problem of matrimony. I do my best to hedge. I suggest like the walrus that "the time has come to talk of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax. of cab bages and kings." And the next batch of letters comes in and holds me strictly to this most difficult and complicated of all subjects. After all. it is probably the i..ost important step that each of us takes in the course of his existence, and with the most far-reaching conse quences; so it is not surprising that those who are contemplating it should be ever seeking more light on the path. "Dear Mrs. Woodrow," I am im plored, "do you think I could be liappy with a girl who eats onions, I myself not caring for the aroma of the vegetable?" and, "Dear Mrs. Woodrow, would you advise a widow of fortune aged seventy-two, al though all my friends say I do not look fifty, to marry a young man of twenty-four who is out of employ ment, but whose devotion to me is boundless?" There are very few of us who can resist the temptation to play oracle, especially in affairs of the heart. Yet when 1 have suggested to the onion phobe* that he cultivate a taste for limburger cheese as a counter irri tant, and have given the obvious re ply to coy and timorous seventy-two, I am sure to pass a sleepless night,' Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton 951 a Semi-Fitted Coat, 36 to 46 bust.

It is supposabfe, is it not. that a young man of twenty-four might en tertain an honest passion for a widow three times his age? Why, then, should I have been so ruthlessly skeptical ? And why, because a girl cherishes an innocent fondness for onions, should I have proposed against her a reprisal worthy of the Hun? Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold in pictures of silver; but you want to be sure the apples are ripe, else another case of Uttle Johnnv Jones and his Sister Sue may be laid at your door. No wonder, with such a continual strain upon their consciences, the Sibyl and the Oracle at Uelphos and all tjiat old-time crew have retired from business. But all jesting aside, I have re ceived a letter from a highly intelli gent young woman in which she brings up a subject which would serve as food for argument for a thousand years. She says: "There is a problem which con fronts hundreds of young men and women to-day even as it ever has done; and that is the question of in termarriage between people of differ ent religious beliefs. I realize that this is a question to be solved by the individual, and that religious matters are best left alone, or in the hands of the ministry. But lam sure many will be glad to hear from you ab6ut it. "Let me tell you something of my own experience; I have several friends in the same boat. For the past eight years I have known a gentleman, a Catholic. He is a tine type of manhood in every respect, and in many ways we were well suited to each other. And I know from what he has said that I could have made him happy. I never en couraged him to love me, but have told him again and again that I did not approve of 'lntermarriafe.' I urged him to be a good Catholic, for I believe we all need religion, and that much we learn at mother's knee becomes a part of us. "I myself am a Jewess of the conservative variety. My father's | branch of the family has been in America for over a hundred years, and my mother's branch almost as long. On my mother's side the past four generations have been famous for their culture, intelligence and charm. lam proud of my ancestry, and I ask you, would I be Justified in renouncing Israel and the faith of my fathers to satisfy my own selfish desires for happiness? "I guess I am too much of an idealist for this age; but my idea of marriage is 'complete oneness.' And I don't believe it can exist where a couple are of different creeds. , I wouldn't renounce my religion and I wouldn't ask a man to give up his. I have not permitted myself to care for this man, thinking I would save The coat suit is to make a feature of the Autumn and here is one that shows very new fea tures. The coat is semi-fitting and it takes long and becoming lines that render it available for the figures of generous propor tions as well as for the slender ones. The skirt also is made in six gores, each gore forming a box plait, so that there are a succession of straight lines. Here, the material is a checked light weight wool but the use of plain or striped material em phasizes the slender effect. For the early season, the Summer serges and light weight bolivia cloth are favorite materials. Broadcloth is extensively used and there are pretty novelties that combine silk with wool that are of really perfect weight for such use. Quiet colors are the preferred ones and this suit shows blue broadcloth with threads of black that form a check and the collar and cuffs are of plain blue. For the medium size the coat will require, 3% yards of ma terial 36 inches wide, yards 44, yards 54 and the skirt, 3% yards 36, 3 yards 44, 3y a yards 54.

"Have 1 been /air to him and to myself In relinquishing him because of religion? We might have been happy. This is 'a serious problem with many to-day, and you ought to help those who are weighing the question in the balance." "But, my dear girl, I can't. Don't you see in the very nature of things that I can't? I am neither a Cath olic nor a Jew, and I have heither the traditions nor the training which count so heavily in this matter. It seems to me that you have not only stated the problem, but have answered it yourself for yourself. It Is absolutely as you say, an indi vidual matter. Everyone has known cases of these intermarriages, which have been happy. Everyone has known cases which have been ob viously unhappy. It is depends upon the persons who contract them. People who are capable of maintaining happy rela tions in marriage will maintain them under any circumstances. Those who are bound to disagree will iind their differing religions the handiest slap sticks in the world. Still, in a universe where you can't have everything,* observation would seem to prove that it is possible for people who are intensely congenial and devoted to each other to ignore their differences of creed and know a fair measure of happiness. Disraeli's marriage to a Church of England wife is always cited as ideal. Nevertheless, looking at it from an entirely detached point of vtew, ■ and without any religious bias in the I matter, one must admit that it's a more or less dangerous experiment. No matter how far a man or woman may seem to get away from early training, tradition and emotion, these are almost sure to assert themselves in the big crises of life. Then the impulse is to turn to one's own people. They will understand; they alone will know how to comfort and assuage. My correspondent is wasting her time in regret. Regardless of how another might feel, she took the only course open to one of her very defi nite views and emotions. Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX Introduction DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Kindly advise me is it proper when two ladies are introduced for them to shake hands? Also would you consider it good form for a lady upon Introduction to a gentleman to extend her hand? Should a lady, when seated, upon introduction to either a lady or a gentleman rise or remain sitting? These questions have come up among a group of friends who have I decided to abide by your Judgment. RUTH. Of (ourse it is proper for women to shake hands when they are in troduced. What is cordial, courteous and friendly is almost invariably "proper." Hold out your hand to a man when you are presented to him. That friendly—not forward. It is not r.etessary to rise when you are introduced to another young person, particularly if it be a man. But al ways rise for your elders; and of course a man stands whenever wom en are standing, whether he is Just then teing introduced to them or not.
