Life's Problems I Are Discussed BY JIBS. WIIJSON WOODROW Do you believe in miracles? A llt le group of us had been sitting bout the wood fire watching the ames, the most beautiful and living ight in the world, unless it may be he falling waters of a fountain, or sunset, or roses. Presently the uestion of miracles came up. Was there ever a group of peo le gathered about a lire in the twi ight that the talk did not turn, ooner or later, on the mysterious nd unexplainable? 'one of the number will begin: Yo umay not believe this, it is so ar out of all reason, but I can ouch for it as a fact." And when le has finished his story another fill cap it with a still more remark ble tale in which he implicitly be ieves. And so it goes. But this especial evening when he question of miracles came up here were some very strong dis cnts. "Of course, I do not believe in piracies," said one very matter-of act person; "the universe is l'ound d upon law, consequently there is 10 place in it for miracles, which re an infraction of law." "We are agreed that there can >e no infraction of law," put in an ther man, "but any law can be ffected, even suspected, by other LIWS. For instance, a bar of iron k-ill sink if thrown Into the water, nd yet iron ships will float. You nay throw a little stick up in the ir and it will fall to the ground, Irawn thither by the law or gravi ation; but an aeroplane will rise to reat heights and travel in any di ection. At this some one laughed: "We light sit here arguing the pros and ons of the matter all night. One >erson may afflrm that he believes II the existence of miracles and an ther as emphatically deny the very lossibility of such things, and yet here is probably not one person lere who has not seen the appar ntly impossible happen, or known n trustworthy authority of its hav ng done so." At this every one spoke at once; 11 were anxious to tell of their own xperiences or of those in whose i-ord they had "confidence. These are some of the stories hat 1 remember: There was a woman who for a lumber of years had made her lome with an elderly relative, who k'as fond of her and grateful for ler care and companionship. He lad told her several times that ince all of his other relatives were omfortably situated he meant to eave her the bulk of his property nd had made a will to that ef ect. After his death no trace of his will could be found, and the >rospects were that the property rould be so divided that this wom n's share of it would be inadequate or her support.

I fastened on hers imploringly, but when he saw her expression of de termination he protested no further. "Well, I suppose what Cynthia says goes," Dora remarked with as good grace as she could muster. The Livingstones' chauffeur looked somewhat mystified as he held the door open for his young mistress and Gerald Stewart, while the man to whom his young mis tress was engaged went in a plebeian taxi with her cousin. To Cynthia, clear-eyed and honest, the situa tion was as unusual as it was to the chauffeur. But her sense of humor came to her relief and she laughed as Milton drew the rug about her. "Isn't Dora the most deliciously original child in the world?" she said. "She is using two cars and ' three men to take us five blocks." "She's nothing if not original," Milton acquiesced. "That is one of her. charms. I find it especially de lightful just now, as it allows me to carry out the program I had planned and escort you home my self." "It was very kind of you, but quite unnecessary," Cynthia rejoin ed. She must keep the conversation in safe channels. "Dora brought the car by for me, you know," she went on. "She had been shopping all the afternoon, getting her trous seau. She is very sensible to begin upon it long enough ahead not to be tired out when the wedding day comes. What a lovely bride she will make!" An Irrelevant Remark Inwardly she was slightly fright- 1 ened when she found how difficult it was to make this speech. Why should she shrink from talking to this man of Dora's marriage to him? But Milton Van Saun made no answer. In stead he looked at her searchingly. "Cynthia, I wonder if my friend ship will ever begin to mean to you what your friendship means to me," he said, irrelevantly. "You hardly know yet what my friendship might mean," she par ried, smilingly. "You see, you scarcelv know me." "I knew you the first moment I law you!" he informed her, with sudden indiscretion. "You mean you had heard Dora speak of me," she corrected. "I do not!" he contradicted. "I mean that I saw you in Chicago, and watched you, and even spoke to you." "You spoke to me in Chicago?" she echoed, mystified. "Yes —I stepped right in front of you, and you dropped your letter And I picked it up and handed it to you, and you thanked me." He stopped, startled at his own temerity. A look of recollection ' was creeping over Cynthia's face. "Oh!," she murmured, "then you are the man who' The car gave a sudden lurch, there was the sound of splintering wood and Cynthia was thrown vio lently against Milton Van Saun's shoulder. Then for a moment she knew nothing.

Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter ounce of freezone, which will cost very little, but is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it lifts cmt without a particle of pain. It Is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never Inflames or even irritates the adjoining tissue. This discovery will prevent thou sands of deaths annually from lock jaw and infection heretofore result ing from tho suicidal habit of cut ting corns. Advice to the Lovelorn Ily BEATRICE FAIRFAX AM, WRONG DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: At a party recently I was intro duced to a young chap who, upon taking me home, asked if he could call at my house Sunday and take me out. I told him thatl would let him know, as I had to ask my mother. When I asked my mother she said that I was entirely too young (16) to go out with any boys. A.d when I met this young chap again (by ac cident) he asked me again whether he could call. I told him that as my mother thought I am too young to go about with him, I could meet him at my sister's house, as my sister would not tell my mother. We have been meeting each other for more than a month now, sometimes at my sister's house, and sometimes when my sister was not at home we have met out side. But I am afraid I am doing wrong. E. W. T. What you are doin~ is very wrong. Shame on your sister for helping you to deceive your mother. Don't meet this boy at your sister's house or out side. You see he is bound to draw these conclusions: "Ethel likes me well enough to sneak off and meet me without her her mother's consent. She isn't very honest to her mother about it—well then she needn't be surpris ed if I am not honest with her."
