BIG TIMBER By BERTRAND W. SINCLAIR C+vjrW*. 1916. by UHI, Imm fir Co, k J (Continued.) She reached the Charteris theater. | and a doorman gave her access to I the dim interior. There was a light | in the operator's cage high at the ; rear, another shaded glow at the j piano, where a young man with hair j brushed sleekly back chewed gum incessantly while he practiced pic- ! ture accompaniments. The place looked desolate, with its empty seats, i its bald stage front with the empty j picture screen. Stella sat down to wait for the manager. He came in a few minutes. His manner was very curt, businesslike. lie wanted her to sing a popular song, a bit from a Verdi opera, Gounod's "Ave Maria," ! so that he could get a line on what she could do. He appeared to be a pessimist in regard to singers. "Take the stage right there," he j instructed, "just as if the spot were , on you. Xow, then." It wasn't a heartening process to stand there facing the gum chew-' ing pianist, and the manager's cigar glowing redly five rows back, and the | silent, emptiness beyond—much like j singing into the mouth of a gloomy • cave. It was more or less a critical moment for Stella, but she was 1 keenly aware that she had to makei good in a small way before she could ; grasp the greater opportunity, so ■ she did her best, and her best was no mediocre performance. She had STOPS BACKACHE IN FEW MINUTES Rub lumbago, pain, soreness, stiffness right out with t ■ "St. Jacobs Oil."

SHE CONQUERED HER INDIGESTION Mrs. Taylor Tells of Experience In teresting to Hundreds Here "For two years I suffered all the tortures of indigestion and stomach trouble," says Mrs. Sarah Taylor, 244 E. Gartield St., Chambersburg, Pa. "My meals never tasted good and what I did eat caused me untold suf fering from gas and poison which seemed to generate in my stomach. A terrible burning and sour sub stance would come up in my throat after eating at times. My nerves soon became affected and my house work was a burden to me, as I had no ambition or energy. "I realized that I was in need of a good tonic and seemed like every body was praising Tanlac. I natur ally turned to this medicine and I am gad I did, for it made me feel like myself again. I am pleased to say that Tanlac has done me more good than I ever dreamed it would. My system needed a good cleaning out and it got it. I eat heartily and my food digests properly. House work is a pleasure. Thanks to Tan lac." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here # at Gorgas' Drug Store who have se cured the exclusive sale of this mas ter medicine in Harrisburg.

She was even a bit aston-1 j ished herself. i She elected to sing the "Ave ( ! Maria" first. Her voice went peal- ; I ing to the domed ceiling a sweet as a silver bell, resonant as a truin- j j pet. When the last note died away | i there was a momentary silence; then J I the accompanist looked up at her, I ( frankly admiring. "You're some warbler," he said' ' emphatically, "believe me." Behind him the manager's cigar ! lost its glow. He remained silent, j The pianist struck up "Let's Mnr-! I der Care," a rollicking trifle from a ; | Broadway hit. Last of all he j ; thumped, more or less successfully,! ; through the accompaniment to an iaria that had in it vocal gymnastics i as well as melody. j "Come up to the office, Mrs. Fyfe," j ■ Howard said, with a singular change; from his first manner. "I can give you an indefinite en-1 sjageinent at thirty a week," he made , a blunt offer. "You can sing. You're | I worth more, but right now I can't \ I pay more. If you pull business—and I rather think you will —I may be able to raise you. Thirty a week,' and you'll have to sing twice in the! I afternoon and twice in the evening."! Stella considered briefly. Thirty j i dollars a week meant a great deal more than mere living as she meant to live. And it was a start,; a move in the right direction. She accepted. They discussed certain , details. She did not care to court publicity under her legal name, so they agreed that she should be billed as Mine. Benton, the madame be- , ing Howard's suggestion, and she j took her leave. Upon the Monday following Stella stood for the first time in a fierce white glare that dazzled her and so shut off partially her vision of the rows and rows of faces. She went on with a horrible slackness in her knees, a dry feeling in her throat and she was not sure whether she would sing or fly. When she had finished her first song and bowed herself into the wings she felt her heart leap and hammer at the hand elapsing that grew and grew till it was like the beat of ocean surf. Howard came running to meet her. "You've sure got 'em going." he laughed. "Fine work. Go out and give 'em some more. NURSE HAD POOR HEALTH Suffered Much Pain Yet Had to Work.

In time she grew accustomed to these things, to the applause she never failed to get, to the white beam that beat down from the pic ture cage, to the eager, upturned faces in the first rows. Her con fidence grew. Ambition began to glow like a flame within her. She had gone through the primary stages of voice culture, and she was following now a method of practice which produced results. She could see and feel that herself. So she gained in those weeks something of her old poise. Ine vitably she was very lonely at times, but she fought against that with the most effective weapon she knew— incessant activity. She was al ways busy. There was a rented piano now sitting in the opposite corner from the gas stove on which she cooked her meals. Howard kept his word. She "pulled business," and he raised her to forty a week and offered her a contract, which she refused, because other avenues, big ger and better than singing in a mo tion picture house were tentativevly opening. December was waning when she came to Seattle. In the following weeks her only contact with the past, beyond the mill of her own thoughts, was an item in the Seattle Times touching upon certain litiga tion in which Fyfe was involved Briefly, Monohan, milder (he firm name of the Abbey.Monohan Tim ber company, was suing Fyfe for heavy damages for the loss of cer 'ain booms of logs blown up and set adrift at the mouth of the Tyee river. There was appended an ac count of the clash ovevr tlie closed channel and the killing of Billy Dale. No one had been brought to hook for that yet. Any one of sixty men might have fired the shot. It made Stella wince, for it took her bac kto that dreadful day. She could not bear to think that Billy Dale's blood lay on her and Mon ohan, neither cor 1 she stifle an uneasy apprehension that something more prievious yet might happen on Roaring lake. But at least she had done what she could. If she were the flame, she had removed herself from the powder magazine. Fyfe h*l pulled his cedar crew off the Tyee before she left. If aggression came it must come from one direc tion. (To be continued.)

GIRLS MARRY YOUNG . [Literary Digest] The growing tendency among wo men to postpone the age of marriage is a bad Ane. for infant mortality in creases steadily as the mother grows older. The best children are those born of young mothers. This Is directly in opposition to the teach ings of some feminists, who assert that the best children are those of mature mothers. It Is, however, based on evidence, well known to eugenists, we are told by the author of an article on "The Young Moth er" in The Journal of Heredity (Washington, September). Every eugenist knows, he says, of the abundant proof that relatively early marriage is beneficial both to the mother and to child. One of these proofs is furnished by studies of in fant mortality in. relation to the age of mothers. The latest of these is due to Alexander Graham Bell, who has recently completed an investiga tion of the longevity of members of the Hyde family in the United States. He finds that the death-rate for children of the oldest group of moth ers is about 50 per cent, greater than that of the children of young mothers, as shown In the following table: 1 m . i a►£ o o2S I C • Age of Mother SS* o When Child "> ! ?

Schiller, of German descent, summoned the police Saturday to arrest his son. a deserter from.the United States Signal Corps. When the police came to arrest him. the son. Paul Otto Schiller, 21 years ojd. barricaded himself in a cellar; and, after firinig several shots at the police, sent a bullet into his own brain. He died instantly. Courage For War Developed in Games You know that the soldier must have courage. We are accustomed to think of courage as something in born. But courage, or that which serves as courage, may be taught. The veteran officer trains his men at loading and firing a gun, at advanc ing at a word of command, hour aft er hour, day after day, week after \eek. Every action must become practically automatic. The soldier learns to do those things so well t\iat though he may be terribly frightened when first he comes under fire —and he will be—he neverthe less goes right on firing his gun and obeying the commands because those actions have become instinct with him. So, courage and steadiness un der fire are developed in the soldier. In not unsimilar ways courage is developed in the athlete. It takes courage to dive headlong into an on coming back who weighs forty pounds more than you do. The be gl nner often hasn't the sand to make that kind of a tackle and lets the runner by. But if he has any kind of stuff in him he learns better. He 1 kept .it the tackling dummy hour after hour until diving into a runner is instinctive. Then he stops not to think of whether the tackle will hurt, but dives at his man and brings him down. It takes courage to stand up in the batter's box when a pitch er with a world of steam, but none too much control, is dishing up the shoots. The youngster at the bat edges back. But little by little he learns to stand up to them, until it beqonies a mutter of course. , The youth who has learned to master bodily fear in football, or any other sport, has gone a long way towards mastering all bodily fear. He has begun to learn to keep his head under fire. —From the October American Boy. All's Well That * Ends Well r By Jane Mel,oan. "Let's not play cards. I'm tired of it, aren't you?" asked one of the handsomest girls in the room. "What do you prefer to do? asked someone. "Let's have an old-fashioned even ing, just sitting around the tire pop ping corn and talking." "That won't be any fun." "I don't think so either," from someone else. "Well, what would you like to do, Mr. Mason?" said the first speaker, turning to one of the men. "Anything the crowd wants to dd," the man returned agreeably. Ilejyas very distinguished looking, aim it could be seen that the young people were desirous of pleasing him. "Why, Mr. Mason would be bored to death with that kind of an even ing," said a tall, dark girl, speaking for the first time. From the moment she first looked at the stranger she had been determined 'to please him. She was afraid that he might find the small town group a bore, herself included; she longed to impress him. and she did not want to sit around the fire'and talk for fe*ir of making a laughing stock of her friends. "What do you do in the city?" asked one of the men of the stranger. "The man laughed a little. "Oh, just about as you do here," he re turned. Things are just about the same when young people get to gether." "But the girls are different, aren't they?" asked the tall, dark girl eagerly. "City feirls are so sure of themselves, and they have so much poise." The man looked at her thought fully. The group had gathered around the fireplace, eager to talk and listen, and it began to took as though after all the evening would be minus cards. "O, yes, the girls," sighed Mollie Baird who had suggested talking. She was dying to know about New York. "The city girls are so sophisti cated and know so much about love." Mollie was natural, the others all a little bit uncomfortable and afraid to ask the questions that iopped into their minds. All except little Mollie who was candidly curious. Lois had read too many novels. She knew of New York only through the pages of magazines. There people played with life, women who were clever, and they were nearly all that, could do anything with men. and money and jewels were insignia of playing the game well. In the stories she had read, beautiful women in gorgeous clothes were always stealing the husbands of the simple-minded wives who had helped their husbands to succeed. Lois had always deter mined not to be a wife who would sacrifice everything for one man. She would accept the standard of society and demand homage as her right. "Lois wants to go to New York to go Into the movies," Mollie said thoughtfully. "Do you think she can get in?" Lois was angry at Mollie's Interfer ence but she did not show it and turned her dark orbs earnestly on the stranger as she waited for his answer. "There are so many girls In the movies," he remarked. "I know," said Lois in her best manner, "but what other girls have done, I could do. This small town TRY THIS JAPANESE CORN REMEDY Co>t> l.lttle but Dors the Work Qnlck * ly. Bio Pain.

Lois flashed a look at Mollio the irresponsible, and said coldly, "Les ter will have nothing to say about In her heart of hearts if Lois had not been so discontented Lester meant a great deal, she even intended to think seriously of Lester some day, but she must see a little bit of life first and he could always wait. The popping of corn offered a welcome diversion at this moment and so served to break the ice that the evening passed pleasantly after all. Hall Mason sketched in his best style the usual method of living in the city. The small box-like apart ments, the modest fun. "It's only among the very wealthy that lire is any different," he finished looking at Lois eagerly and hoping that she really believed him. Lois was at that moment'flatter ing herself that the tall distinguished looking stranger was certainly taken with her. "I'm probably more like the girls he knows," she was saying to herself. "He needn't think I believe all he is telling those others."
