Shivers ran down the spine of
Milton and up the back of his head
to the roots of his hair. Somebody
was in the bank—at two o'clock in
the morning—with tools for burg
lary He was a scholarly old fellow,
brought up to New England and cast
out to the uttermost frontier by the
malign tragedy of poverty. Adven
ture offered no appeal to him.
But though his knees trembled
beneath him and the sickness of fear
was gripping his heart, Robert Mil
ton had in him tho dynamic spark
that makes a man. He tiptoed to
his desk and with shaking fingers
gripped the revolver that lay in a
drawer.
The cashier braced himself for
the plunge, then slowly trod across
the room to the inner locked door.
The palsied fingers of his left hand
could scarce turn the key.
It seemed to him that the night
was alive with the noise he mado
in turning the lock and opening the;
door. The hinges grated and the j
floor squeaked beneath the fall of
his foot as he stood at the thres
hold.
Two men were in front of the wire
grating which protected the big safe:
that filled the alcove to the right. 1
One held a file and the other a
candle. Their blank, masked faces
were turned toward Milton, and each ■
of them covered him with a'
weapon.
"W-what are you doing here?";
quavered the cashier.
"Drop that gun." came the low, >
sharp command from one of them.
Some old ancestral Instinct in the j
bank cashier rose out of his panic:
to destroy him. He wanted to lie;
down quietly in a faint. But his
mind asserted its mastery over the!
weakling body. In spite of his ter- j
ror, of his flaccid will, he had to
keep the faith. He was guardian
of the bank funds. At all costs he
must protect them.
His forearm came up wit ha jerk.
Two shots rang out almost together.
The cashier sagged back against the j
wall and slowly slid to the floor. I

The guests of Mrs. Selfridge
danced well into the small hours.
The California champagne stimu- >
lated a gayety that was balm to her
soul. She wanted her dinner-dance
to be smart, to have atmosphere
she had found in the New York j
cabarets. If everybody talked at j
once, she felt they were having a j
good time. If nobody listened to'
anybody else, it proved that the
affair was a screaming success.
Mrs. Wally was satisfied as she
bade her guests good-by and saw
them pass, into the heavy snow
that was again falling. They all as
sured her that there had not been
One old-timer a trifle lit up by
reason of two much hospitality,
phrased his enjoyment a little awk
wardly.
"It's been great. Mrs. SelfrHge.
Nothing like it since the days of the
open dance hall."
Mrs. Mallory hastily supressed an
internal smile tird stepped into the
breach. "How do you do It?" she
asked her hostess enviously.
"My dear, if you say it was .1 sue- i
cess—"
"What else could one say?"
Genevieve Mallory always pre- j
forred to tell the truth when it would i

since it contributed to her own ironic
sense of amusement. Macdonald had '
oaee told her that Mrs. Selfridge i
made him think of the saying "Mon- ;
ksy sees, monkey does." The offer-1
vescent little woman had never hod .
an original idea in her life.
Most of those who had been at j
the dance slept late. They wera ob-1
livious of the fact that the storm I
had quickened ssrain into a howling j
£,\~.le. Nor did they know the two j
bits cf news that were passing up'
and dc-wn the main street and l.eingi
telephoned from house to house.;
•ine of the Items was that the stage j
for Katma had failed to reach the j
rcadh'>use at Smith's Crossing. The I
second bit o * news was local. For
the fitst timo since Robert Milton
had been cashier the bank had failed
to open on the dot.
••••,
Macdonald was no sluggard. It j
was his habit not to let the pleasure |
of the night before interfere with'
the business of the morning after. |
But in the darkness he overslept and
let the town waken before him. He
was roused by the sound of knock
ing on his door.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"It's me—Jor.es—Gopher Jones.
Say, Mac, the bank ain't open ,u.d

AREYOU PERPLEXED?
Woman - Who - Wanted - To -
Know Learns How and Why 1
I. S. Must Conserve its Food.
The Woman - Who - Wanted - To ;
Know visited the Food Administra-1
1 tion in Washington the other day. j
! "I realize the great necessitv of j
saving food for the Allies," she "said!
and I want to do my part. But one I
thing perplexes me."
She smiled slightly.
"Tell me," she said, "after the
food once gets into the retail stores.
| difference does it make whether
I buy it or not? In either case the
'Allies will not get it. My grocerv
store, for instance, always seems to
have plenty of wheat flour on hand.
If I or some one else does not buv 1
that flour, it will only be left on the
storekeeper's hands." 1
It is safe to say, then, that after
the food once gets into the retail
store, it will never go to help feed
the Allies.
Why, then, does the Food Admin
istration urge us to buy less of
wheat, meat, sugar, and dairy prod
ucts, even when we see all these
foods in abundance in the stores,
and when as The-Woman-Who-
Wanted-To-Know points out, if these
foods are not sold, they will only
spoil on the hands of the dealer and
be wasted?
The answer is this. The demand
always creates the supply. In other
words store-dealers do not waste
money in laying a stock of goods
that people will not buy. For this
reason they do not stock up very
far ahead, but they aim always to
keep just abreast of the demand,
neither ahead nor behind it. Thus
the key to the supply is always in
the hands of the buyer.

Copyright by International News Service
Helen had never in her life en
countered such a truly novel expe
rience. This being granted a peep
into the lives of other people not in
any sense touching her own, was
mysterious, uncanny. She had'
thought when the strange woman ac
costed her in the waiting room of
the Grand Central station that she
merely wanted to ask a question, but
her tlrst remark showed Helen that
this experience was going to be out
of the ordinary.
"You look as though you would
be kind, as though you could render
an opinion without being biased one
way or the other," she said.
Helen smiled uncertainly, wonder
ing if the woman were mad. She
was quietly dressed in modish black.
She had auburn hair which crinkled
under her hat, and although she was
not pretty there was a certain odd
attraction about her. She was ob
viously well educated, and her smile
at Helen's puzzled look, instantly
banished any doubts that Helen
might have had.
"I think I could," Helen returned,
falling in with the woman's manner.
"Well, I should be grateful to you
forever if you would give me fifteen
minutes to decide a question for me,"
the woman returned.
Helen, who had slipped into the
Grand Central for a bite of luncheon
before proceeding downtown to keep
an appointment followed the woman
over to a couple of seats in the rest
room, and the two sat down and
again scrutinized each other.
"It's about a very private matter,"
the woman continued. "I have no
friends here in the East and I
shouldn't care about confiding in
them if I had. I hardly think you
and I will ever meet again, and if
we do, I think you would keep your
own counsel."
Helen nodded slowly.
"Of course, you must think me
madly impetuous to do a thing like
this, but I have been observing you
since you came into the place. The
impulse to tell you, to ask your ad
vice and abide by It, came to me
suddenly, and I determined to yield
to it. I came East to get away from
a man. I love him and he loves me,
and he is married."
She almost flung the words out
but she did not seem ashamed or
embarrassed, merely eager. Helen
thought her the most eager woman
she had ever seen, her smallest ges
ture was significant, it was her chief
charm.
I "But I don't know the partlcu-
I lars," Helen protested. "I want to
help you, but how can I decide for
i you. What is it you want me to
: decide?"
"Shall I stay here away from him
lor shall I go back? He may forget
1 all about me if I stay away, but
• there is almost sure to be some
! one else, because his wife does not
; care for him."

Enders, the oldest veteran of the
Civil war living in Enders. celebrat
ed his 79th birthday on Friday. Mr.

over 1,000 bushels of corn among
the farmers last fall.—Mrs. Nath
aniel Weaver and Charles Sweig are
ill-—Marion Fitting, who spent some
time at home, has returned to his i
studies at Pennsburg. Charles!
"Did he tell you that?"
"No. it is generally known."
"Then, you're sure of it?"
"Yes. There's a child, too."
Helen raised her head quickly.
"You say there's a child, and the
man is estranged from his wife, and
loves you and you love him'."'
"Yes, I love him. I have tried to
forget him, but I can't. He wants
me to see him, if only occasionally;
but 1 can't do that. I told him so.
It must be everything or nothing,
and so I ran away. 1 have tried to
think it out for myself, but I can't
do it alone. I haven't talked with
anyone, and it's so hard when we
love each other."
Helen nodded understandingly. "I
know it must be: but really there is
just one thing for you to do. Stop
feeing him. Even if there were ever
a chance for happiness with him,
you couldn't take it at the price of
the child. Surely you must see
that."
"Oh, I do—l do! T know you are
right, but it is hard."
"Of course it is hard, but remem
ber this, if you do what is right,
things may all come out happily for
you some day. Blacker skies than
yours have cleared up miraculously,
and happiness snatched as you would
have to snatch yours would never
compensate for what you would
have to sacrifice to obtain it. Be
lieve me, I think 1 am right."
Helen spoke earnestly. She had
never played the role of adviser in
quite such a picturesque way before,
and she was carried away by her en-|
thusiasm and interest.
"I am sure you are right'" the
woman returned, her eyes shining
brightly. She even smiled a little.
"And I thank you, and I want you to
remember that I shall do exactly as
you say. If I thought things would
ever come out brightly for us, I
would wait forever."
"And who knows," said Helen
rising, "you may discover that he
was not the right man."
The woman shook her head,
"Never that," she returned, and
Helen was sure that she meant what
she said. This was a woman, no
foolish, giddy young girl to be swept
off her feet bv the eager impassion
ed words of an older man dissatis
fied with life.
Helen felt that the question had
been debated carefuWy, and that this
putting it up to a total stranger had
been the climax. The woman's
steady eyes followed her as she went
downtown, her half gay, half sor
rowful good-bye had stirred Helen's
heart.
The experience had been like the
witnessing of a stirring play to
Helen, only the fact that she her
self had been one of the principals
in a real life drama had made an
impression on her that she would
never forget.

Peel Off The Old Skin;
Bring Out The New
I You know that beneath that muddy,
over-red or blotchy complexion you
have a skin that's clear, soft and
white. If you could only have this
more beautiful skin exposed to view
instead of the horrid old skin you now
behold in your mirror! You can—and
by a very simple, harmless process
which you can use yourself. Get an
ounce of common mercolized wax at
your druggist's and this evening
spread a thin coating of it over your
face. To-morrow morning wash it off
with warm water. Small powder-like
particles of the lifeless top skin will
come off with the wax. Repeat this
daily until all the worn-out scarf
sliin has been absorbed. Then you'll
have a lovelier, liealthier-lookins com
plexion than you now think possible.
Chaps, pimples, spots, freckles or other
surface distigurements are of course
removed with the skin itself.
If your skin be wrinkled or flabby,
bathe the face daily for awhile in a
lotion made by dissolving 1 oz. pow
dered saxolite in 1 ,4 pt. witch hazel.
This is just splendid.—Advertisement.
