The other reason for contracting the unwelcome marriage is a high sense of honor in the girl which which prompts her to keep her plighted word at any cost to her self. Starting out with either premise, the fiction writer can build up a long novel. It has been done very, very frequently. The long arm of coinci dence can be used to jerk a lot of events into place, and wind them up neatly. And there's your happy end ing. A fiction heroine would he fool ish not to go on following the good, old pattern, because, no matter what she does, things will always turn out so pleasantly for her. But life is different and more ex citing. One never knows just what may happen next. From the stand point of fiction, the fiction heroine is all right; but from the standpoint of life, she has always struck me as not only featherheaded, but uncom monly vain. For instance, when the family unite in trying to force her to marry the unloved man it would be so much more sensible for her to say: "You got yourself into these dif ficulties, and it's high time you used your wits and your energies in getting yourself out, instead of offer ing me up as a sacrifice. I am quite willing to work and to do all that I can to help in the present emergency, hut I am distinctly not for sale." But the fiction heroine never dreams of doing that. She is too featherheaded. And she is vain in this, that she imagines that her grudging and un responsive presence is a sufficient return for a man's lifelong devotion and perpetual maintenance of her. As a matter of fact, the human being does not live who wants to be closely associated with any one who feels either dislike or indifference to him. And now my dear unknown cor respondent, to come down to your particular case. Although this man for whom you do not care may feel wounded and hurt, when you tell him that you do not love him enough to marry him, there will be enough chagrin min gled wih his disappointment to help him get over it very nicely. And why cross bridges until you come to them and make yourself unhappy at the possible chance of remaining single'.' If you are attrac tive enough to have won one man's admiration, you may be sure there will be others. If not, and you are fated to be free, why, that is not the greatest tragedy. But don't face life with the I can-forgive-myself attitude. Stop hugging your past mistakes to your heart and worrying over them. For get, forgive, ignore everything, even yourself—especially yourself. Stand free of such dreary burdens as your real or fancied mistakes. Yesterday's gone, and all the re gret in the world won't bring it back. To-morrow isn't here. You'Ve only got to-day to be good ajid glad in. Then be good and glad to-day! Korniloff, Former Russ War Chief, Killed by Soviets Moscow, Friday, March 17. General Korniloff, the former Rus sian commander-in-chief, has been killed in a battle with the Soviet troops near Yekaterinodar. His army of 10,000 men has been defeated and is retreating. The belief is expressed in gov ernment circles that this ends arm ed opposition to the Bolsheviki in the south, as the remaining rebel 'jhief Filimonoff, is a small menace with his little army of 2,000 men. "Outwitting the Hun" By Lieutenant Pat O'Brien (Copyright, 1918, by Pat Alva O'Brien.) 11111-II Apparently they , didn't understand, I \ but one of them JHH \lunteered to con 1| j duct me to the vil j lage. They seemed '.j in he only too anx | r ' I dontly they realized &*FhJ I was a British sol when my compan ion finally escorted me into the vil lage, but he aroused some people he knew from their beds and they dressed and came down to feed me. The family consisted of an old ! lady and her husband and a son, who was a soldier in the Dutch Army. The cold shivers ran down my back while he sat beside me be cause every now and again I caught a glimpse of his gray uniform and it resembled very much that of the German soldier. Some of the neighbors, aroused by the commotion, got up to see what it was all about, and came in and watched while I ate the meal those good Dutch people prepared for me. Ordinarily I supposed I would have been embarrassed with so many people staring at me while I ate as though I were some strange animal that had just been captured, but just then I was too famished to no tice or care very much what other people did. There will always be a warm place j in my heart for the Dutch people, i I had heard lots of persons say j that they were not inclined to help I refugees, but my experience did not | bear these reports out. They cer | tainly did much n\ore for me than ■ I ever expected. 1 had a little German money left, I but as the value of German money lis only about half in Holland I didn't have enough to pay the fare | to Rotterdam, which was my next i objective. It was due to the gen lerosity.of these people that I was able to reach the British Consul as quickly as X did. Some day I hope to return to Holland and repay ev ery single soul who played the part I of the Good Samaritan to me. With the money that these peo ple gave me I was able to feet a third-class ticket to Rotterdam, and I was glad that I didn't have enough to travel first-class, for X would have looked as much out of place in a flrst j class carriage as a Hun would ap -1 pear in heaven. I That night 1 slept in the house of I my Dutch friends, where they fixed |me up most comfortably. In the morning they gave me breakfast and ! then escorted me to the station, i Cheered as He Hoards Train ■ While I was waiting on the station ia crowd gathered round me and soon | it seemed as if the whole town had i tin ned out to get a look at me. It |was very embarrassing, particularly 'as I could give them no information j regarding the cause of my condition, ' ulthouKh, of course, they all knew ! that I was a refugee from Belgium. As the train pulled out of the sta- I tlon, the crowd gave a loud cheer | and the tears almost came to my I eyes as I contrasted in my mind the I conduct of this crowd and the one I that had gathered at the station in ! Ghent when I departed a prisoner en route for the reprisal camp. I j breathed a sigh of relief as I I thought of that reprisal camp and ! how fortunate I had really been, de -1 spite all my suffering, to have escap jed it. Now, at any rate, I was a free ! man and I would soon be sending I home the joyful news that I had ■ made good my escape. 1 At Einhoffen two Dutch officers • got into the compartment with me. They looked at me with very much ! disfavor, not knowing, of course, that I was a British officer. My | clothes were still very much in the 1 condition they were when I crossed i the border, although I had been able ! to scrape off some of the mud I had | collected the night before. I had not I shaved nor trimmed my beard for | many days, and I must have pre -1 a sorry appearance. I could I hardly blame them for edging away j from me. | The trip from Einhoffen to Rot- I terdam passed without special incl | dent. At various stations passen gers would get in the compartment | and, observing my unusual appear- I ance, would endeavor to start a con : versation. None of them spoke Eng ! gllsh, howeve?, and they had to use j their imagination as to my identity. When I arrived at Rotterdam I I asked a policeman who stood in 1 front of the station where I could j find the British Consul, but I could | not make him understand. I next , applied to a taxicab driver. "English Consul—British Consul —American Consul—French Con sul!" I said, hoping that if he dlchi't understand one he might.recognize another. • He eyed me with suspicion and j motioned me to set In and drove off. j I had no Idea where he was taking ! me. but after a quarter of an hour's j ride he brought up in front of the J British Consulate. Never before was X so glad to see the Union Jack! I beckoned to the chauffeur to go with me up to the office, as I had no money with which to pay hjm, and when he sot to the Consulate 1 told him that if they would pay the taxi fare 1 would tell them who I was and how I happened to be there. They knew at once that I was an escSped prisoner and tfrey readily paid the chauffeur and Invited me to give some account of myself. They treated me most cordially and were intensely interested in the brief accpunt I gave them of my ad ventures. Word was sent to the Consul-General and he immediately sent for me. When I went in he shook hands with me, greeting me very heartily and offering me a chair. He then sat down, screwed a monocle on his eye and viewed me from top to toe. I could see that only good breeding kept him from laughing at the spectacle X pre sented. I could see he wanted to laugh in the worst way. "Go ahead and laugh!" I said, "You can't offend me the way I feel this blessed day!" and he needed no second invitation. Incidentally it gave me a chance to laugh at him, for I was about as much amused as he was. Afttr he had laughed himself about sick he got up and slapped me on the back and invited me to tell him my story. "Lieutenant," he said when I had concluded, "you can have anything you want. I think your experience entitles you to it." "Well, Consul," I replied, "I ; would like a bath, a shave, a haircut and some civilized clothes about as badly as a man ever needed them, 1 suppose, but before that I would like to get a cable off to America to my mother telling her that I am safe and on my way to England!" The Consul gave the necessary in structions and I had the satisfac tion of knowing before I left the of fice that the cable, with its good tidings, -was on its way to America. Then he sent for one of the naval men who had been interned there since the beginning of the war and who was able to speak Dutch and told him to take good care of me. After I had been bathed and shaved and had a haircut I bought some new clothes and had some thing to eat, and I felt like a new man. . As I walked through the streets of Rotterdam breathing the air of freedom again and realizing that there was no longer any danger of being captured and taken back to prison, it was a wonderful sensation. I don't believe there will ever be a country that will appear in my eyes quite as good as Holland did then. I had to be somewhat careful, how ever, because Holland was full of German spies and I knew they would be keen. to learn all they possibly could about my escape and my ad ventures so that the authorities in Belgium could mete out punishment to everyone who was in any re spect to blame for it. As I was in Rotterdam only a day they didn't have very much opportunity to learn anything from fne. The naval officer who accompanied me and acted as interpreter for me introduced me to many other sol diers and sailors who had escaped j from Belgium when the Germans ' took Antwerp, and as they had ar rived in Holland in uniform and under arms, the laws of neutrality compelled their internment and they had been there ever since. The Ijife of Those Interned The life of a maj\ who is interned in a neutral country, I learned, is anything but satisfactory. He gets one month a year to visit his home. If he lives in England that is not so had, but if he happens to live fur ther away, the time he has to spend with his folks is very short, as the month's leave does not take into consideration the time consumed in traveling to and from Holland.

Your grocer has the lemons and any drug store or toilet counter will supply three ounces of orchard white for a few cents. Massage this sweetly fragrant lotion Into the face, neck, arms and hands each day and see how freckles and blemishes disap pear and how clear, so'ft and white the skin becomes. Yes! It is harm less. ternment is always there, but the British authorities have an agree ment with the Dutoh Government to send refugees back immediately. In this respect, therefore, the position of a man who is interned is worse than that of a prisoner who, if he does succeed in making his escape, is naturally received with open arms in his native land. Apart from this restraint however, internment with all its drawbacks, is a thousand times, yes, a million times better than being a prisoner of war in Ger many, It seems to me that when the war is over and the men who have been imprisoned in Germany return home, they should be given a bigger and greater reception than the most victorious army that ever marched into a city, for they will have suf fered and gone through more than the world will ever be able to under stand. No doubt you will find in the Ger man prison camps one or two faint hearted individuals with a pro nounced yellow streak who volun tarily gave up the struggle and give up their liberty rather than risk their lives or limbs. These sad cases, however, are, 1 am sure, extremely few- Nine hundred and ninety-nine out psiim Spring is in the air - the fields and woods and waters And to add io the zest of outdoor pleasures nothing affords the long-lasting re freshment of WRIGLEVS every So carry it always with you„ of a thousand of the men fighting I in the allied lines would rather be in the front lino trenches, fighting every day. with all the horrors and all the risks, than be a prisoner of war in Germany, for the men in France have a very keen realization of what that means. 1 j (To JSo Continued) U-Boats Let Loose z Off Norway Again C'lirlsiiiinin, .Norway, .May 21. —Ger- man submarines again have started unrestricted warfare on Norwegian fishing boats in the Arctic ocean north and east of the Norwegian coast. Fishermen saved from sunk en vessels and landed at Hammerfesf report that the commander of a Ü boat stated that all vessels met by him would be sunk. Norwegian ships especially would be destroyed, because, he said, the Norwegians were, sending fish and seal oil to England. This, however, is untrue, as the export of oils is forbidden and Germany knows it. The U-boats are said to shell ves sels without warning and, according to the survivors, direct a Are against lifeboats. When the commander of one Ger man submarine was advised that Russia was at peace with Germany he answered that he acted the way it suited him. The U-boat measured 180 feet in length, and surprise is caused in shipping circles that it can carry enough,oil for a cruise so far up the Norwegian coast. BKKNT IS A K. F.
