Substantial Aid Is
Received For Volunteer
Firemen of the State
"We have received some very
substantial aid from the firemen of
Pennsylvania in our efforts to run
lown firebugs and the plan worked
jut by President Bonniwell and his
>(Ticers of the State Association will
•P a great help to us." said State
l-'ire Marshal Port to-day. Tt be
came known yesterday that plans to
support the fire marshal's depart
nent in the running down of in
•endlaries, especially those who at
ack schools or other public build
ngs or industrial establishments, or
vho damage fire j apparatus or fire I
lose had been completed by officers |
>f the State Association. At a series j
>f conferences held since the first J
>f the month Judge Eugene C. I
3onmwell, of Philadelphia, presi- |
lent of the association, tendered i
Harshal Port the services of the j
housands of members of the fire- '
lien's organization, to supplement j
he work of his own force, which is i
er.v limited in numbers. Marshal j
'ort took up various phases of work i
lecessary to be done \irith chairmen
f committees and officers of the as- j
ociation and a system has been put j
nto operation which it is believed
rill help materially in detection of j
ersons who either attempt arson or ;
0 injure firehose at fires or while
1 houses.
I Judge Bonniwell and the fire ;
harshal went over the facts adduced*-;
oncerning school house fires in j
I'hiladelphia and blazes in other i
arts of the state and instances!
•here cranks or malicious persons |
ad caused injury to fire apparatus !
r hose stringent measures were j
utlined to be taken by the firemen j
f the state. Already word has come i
ere of the perfecting of these plans. '
The fire marshal's department has ■
een handicapped in investigation of j
tie fires of the last year, when a'
umber which were seriously de-1
tructive occurred, by the small |
jrce of deputies. All fire chiefs and I
ther officers have been urgently |
squested to promptly report all fires ■'
nd circumstances attending them j
nd the state and firemen will co- |
perate in following up suspicions

CHAPTER XVII
• (Copyright, 1918, Star Co.)
Another silence followed upon
Stephen Livingstone's question. At
last it was broken by Cynthia's low
voice:
"Thank you, Uncle Stephen, for
j telling me tlie truth. 1 must think
i about what I can do. You are very
| kind to try to make it easy for me."
1 She was surprised at her uncle's I
' sudden change of demeanor. "I do j
I not -want you to think about what j
you can do, as you put it. You know I
I very well that it is a pleasure for us ;
Ito have you here. Dora needs you. |
i She has always needed a sister. We i
I have been glut! to take you into our j
| home. You s>ay you are grateful. I
Then do not think of going from '
that home to do some work un- j
worthy the daughter of my only sis- j
j ter.
j "You are fitted for no special line, j
jas you very well know. Were you |
\ an artist, or a writer, or had you j
] chosen some profession, 1 might feel j
i differently. But that my niece j
i should be a third or fourth-rate |
stenographer or typewriter is too j
j much for me to endure. I simply.
| will not have it."
lie was stern, and every trace of
j emotion had left ijis voice.
| "But," Cynthia stammered, "I can
write a good hand and a fair letter.
! I might become a social secretary."
j Her uncle gave vent to a harsh
! laugh, "indeed you might not!" he j
declared. "X know enough about
1 what social secretaries must put up
! with from rich wo|en for me to say
that I •will not permit that either!
1 Now, my dear," his voice changing
again, "do listen to reason. I will
! tell you what X had not meant to
I tell you. |
"There were some debts your poor |
father left—things hp meant to pay |
and which you could easily have paid |
had you inherited the money he)
thought you would inherit. 1 have j
paid these. You do not owe a cent j
it: the world.
"Oil!" Cynthia clasped her hands ;
nervously—"then 1 am in your Qebt! |
I must pay you back."
"Be quiet!" he said gravely. "Hearj
me out. I loved .your mother —my |
little sister. For ljer sake I have |
done the little I have told you of. I :
| ani a ricli man, Cynthia. It cost me
|no self-sacrifice to do this. The only j
sacrifice I demand in return is that
you comply with my wishes in this,

I concerns you.

own daughter would do, I hope—and
the future will take care of itself.

She paused, struck b>* the silence
that followed her remarks.
"Why, Cyn," she asked, "what is '
the matter? You are as pale as,
can be."
"Nothing is the matter," Cynthia
replied, springing to her feet. "Only I
I have been sitting here in the dark j
until my eyes are dazzled by the
I sudden light."
Milton Van Saun stood by her, ,
j holding out his hand. "Good after
! noon, Cynthia," he said.
"Oh, good afternoon!" she replied, 1
• laying her hand in his.
Her fingers were cold and trem- j
j biing. For a half-minute Milton j
i Van Saun held them close. Then
| with a keen look into her face, he t
' left them drop and began to talk so
I merrily that his fiancee and her
fpther laughed at his drollery and
1 forgot to observe too closely the
j black-robed- girl who stood silent, as :
I if not quite sure what to do next.
Mrs. Livingstone's voice in the door I
I turned the current of thought still
I further from Cynthia.
"Good evening, Milton!" she ex- ]
claimed. "I thought I heard you j
young people come in. Dora, did '
I also hear you mention Mr. Stew- j
art?"
'"Yes, you did. I was saying what !
fun it would be if he could be in- \
duced to come to dinner, since Mil- :
ton is to be here too. Milton,
yhy don't you telephone to htm?" I
"Yes, do!" Mrs. Livingstone sec- :
onded, glancing quickly at her j
niece, then looking away again. |
As the girls started to leave the
room Mrs. Livingstone detained :
[ Cynthia by a hand laid on her arm. !
Plenty to Think About
| "Dear girl," she said suavely, "do i
j not worry. All will be. well. And'
j you have your unc-le and myself, '
I you know. Never forget that."
'Thank you!" Cynthia murmured.
\\ hile Dora dressed she made j
sundry comments to her cousin,
I calling them through the door lead
i ing into the small room between
; her own room and Cynthia's.
Cynthia answered when neces- i
[ sary, but it is doubtful if she heard I
j anything that Dora said. Her mind
i was in a whirl. One fact only stood I
| out against the dark mass of 1
| thought. It was the knowledge that |
; she was no longer independent, that i
j she had no way of earning a living j
and that she would not be allowed I
to work if she wished to.
