"She may have said that she had decided that it was right and proper for you to pay for her wedding." "I see, I see!" Livingstone mur mured.

"Dora had a headache that day, so did not go out at all," she supple that in which she had intended to mented. "1 see," Milton said. it was now her turn to question him. "Why did you ask when 1 left your father?" she demanded. "Only to be sure I was right. I called dad up at a quarter past six. The chap with whom I had an ap pointment that would have detained me downtown did not show up. So I phoned dad to see if you were still there. He said you had just that moment gone. I was hoping I might be in time to do escort duty." "Thank you," she muttered. But she knew there was some other rea son for this question—some reason that concerned Dora. (To Be Continned.)

A Terrific Struggle 111 tlie wrftrhed Sj then was, however. ■'•i looked for .a boat, VgPP . but could find none. Piece of wood upon ferry across, but 1 was equally unsuc cessful. Get across I must, and I decided there waq nothing to do but swim. It was then about 3 o'clock in the morning. I waded in and was soon in beyond my depth and had to swim. After about an hour of it I was very much exhausted, and I doubted whether I could make the opposite bank, although it was not more than thirty or forty feet away. I choked and gasped, and my arms and legs were completely fagged out. I sank a little and tried to touch bottom with my feet, but the water was still beyond my depth. There are times when every one will pray, and I was no exception. I prayed for strength to make those few wicked yards, and then, with all the will power I could summon, struck out for dear life. It seemed a lifetime before I finally felt the welcome mud of_ bottom and [was able to drag myself up to the bank, but I got there. The bank was rather high and I was shaking so violently that when I took hold of the grass to pull my self up, the grass shook out of my hands. I could not retain my grip. I was afraid I would, faint then and there but I kept pulling and 'crawl ing frantically up that infernal bank and finally made it. Then for the first time in my life I fainted—fainted for utter exhaus tion. It was now about 4 o'clofck in the morning and I was entirely unpro tected from observation. If any- one had come along I would have been fount! lying there dead to the world. Possibly two hours passed before T regained consciousness, and then no doubt only because the rain was beating in my face. I knew that I had to get away, as it was broad daylight. Moreover, there was a towpath right there and any minute a boat might come along and find me. But it was equally dangerous for me to attempt to travel very far. Fortunately I found some shrubbery nearby, and I hid there all day, without food or drink. The Delirium of Fever That night I made a little head way, but when day broke I had a dreadful fever and was delirious. I talked to myself and thereby in creased my chances of capture. In my lucid intervals when I realized that I had been talking the thought sent a chill through me, because in the silent rtiht even the slightest sound carries far across the Belgian country. I began to fear that an other day of this would about finish me. I have a distinct recollection of a ridiculous conversation I carried on with an imaginary Pat O'Brien—a sort of duplicate of myself. I argu ed with him as I marched drearily along and he answered me back in kind, and when wc disagreed I call ed upon my one constant friend, the North Star, to stand by mc. "There you are, you old North Star!" T cried aloud. "You want me to get to Holland, don't you? But this Pat O'Brien—this Pat O'Brien who calls himself a soldier—he's got a yellow streak—North Star—and he says (t can't be done ! He wants me to quit—to lie down here for the Huns to And me and take me back to Courtrat—after all you've done, North' Star, to- lead me to liberty. Won't you make this coward leave me. North Star? I don't wan to follow him —1 just want to follow you—because you—you aire taking me away from the Huns and this Pat O'Brien —this fellow who keeps after me all the time and leans on my neck and wants me to lie down —this yellow Pat O'Brien wants me to go back to the Huns!" After a spell of foolish chatter like that my senses wauid come back to rr.c for a while and 1 would trudge along without a word until the fever came on me again. I knew that 1. had to have food because I was about on my las' legs. I was very much tempted to lie dow*n then and there and call it a heat. Things seemed to be getting worse for me the further 1 went, and all the time I had before me the specter of that electric barrier betareei Bel gium and Holland, even if 1 ever riachcd there alive. What wu the use of further suffering when I would probably be captured In Ihe end anyway? Decides on n Bold Move Before giving up, however. I de cided upo% one bold move.

Tnen T wrapped a stonj in my khaki handkerchief as a sort of camouflaged weapon, determined to kill the occupant of the house, Ger man or Belgian, if that step was necessary in order to gft food. I tiied the well in the yard, but it would not work, and then 1 went up to the door, and knocked. It was 1 o'clock in the morning. Ar. old lady came to th-i win-low ur.d looked out. She could not imagine what I was, probably because 1 was still attired in that old overcoat, t-'ho gave a cry and her husband an da boy came to the door. They could not speak English and pointed to my firing coat and -.hen to t'.ie sky and -said "Finger" (flixr.) which I thuiight would tell iiem what I was. Whether they underylc.nl or vere intimidated by my nard-looking aj'- pea-ance, 1 don't know, but certain ly it would have t'> be a brave ol< man and boy who would start an argument with such a villainous 'looking character as stood before them that night! 1 had not shaved for a month, my clothes were wet, torn and dirty, my leggings were gone—they fiad got ten so heavy I had discarded, them-- my hair was matted and my cheeks Saving Fats Docs Not Mean Flavorless Foods! | Economy and Better Cooking the Rule J In Households Where Mazola Is Used What olive oil is to Italy —Mazola is to America.

Anvwav, they motioned me In doors and gave me my fifst hot meal ill more than a month 1. True, It consisted only of warm potatoes. They had been previously cooked, but the old woman warmed tliem up in milk in one of the dirtiest kettles I had ever seen. I asked for bread, but she shook her head, although I think it must have been for lack of it rather than because she begrudged it to me. For it ever a man showed he was famished I did that night. 1 swal lowed those warm potatoes raven ously and I drank four glasses of water one after another. It was the best meal I had had since the "ban quet" in the prison at Courtral.

Tile glimpse 1 got of my self startled me almost as much as if I had seen a dreaded German helmet! My left eye was fairly well healed by this time and I ■ was be ginning to regain sight of it, but my face was so haggard and my beard so long and unkempt that 1 I looked like Santa Claus on a bat! As they let me out of the door 1 pointed to the opposite direction to the one I intended taking: and start ed off in the direction I had indi cated. I.4ter I changed, my course completely to throw off any pursuit.

Dandruffy Heads Become Hairless If you want plenty of thick, beau tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, lor it will starve your hair and ruin It If you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff Is to dissolve it, then you destroy it en tlrely, To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; ap ply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely de stroy every single sign and trace of it. i'ou will find, too, that all Itch ing and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You car. get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no mat [ ter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. 5
