She hoped Dora was asleep and would not hear her. She must have a few minutes to herself in which to think ! things over. She did not turn on the lights, but stood at the window looking out. It was raining hard now. and she watched the few pedestrians in tir# street below, their wet umbrellas glistening in the gleam from the j electric lamps.*" Under ordinary circumstances, the i sight of the falling rain would have depressed her. Now she was filled with a sense of exaltation. She was | free once more. She had done a dreaded duty, and, instead of causing; misery, as she had feared, she had ' made another heart lighter. She and Oerald Stewart had been on the edge of a precipice. Her honesty had saved them both from disaster. She would not look ahead just yet. For a brief period she would forget her relatives' certain anger and cha grin and would revel in the peace of a duty performed, of a danger avoid- ' ed. Perhaps later— I < "Cyn!"

I "You speak as If you had just done some hard thing yourself." Pora said. "I have," Cynthia rejoined. She may as well tel'. Dora the facts j now. Then together they coulil face the wrath of the elders. "What do you mean?" Dora ques i tioned. I Apparently she attached no signifl l cance to Cynthia's statement. The i truth must be put more boldly, i "I mean," Cynthia said slowly, j "that I have told Gerald Stewart that I do not love him." The room was so dark that the i speaker could not see her compan | ion's face plainly, but Dora s gasp of astonishment told what a sensa- J tion the news had. caused. I "Yes." Cynthia hurried on. "I de j cided that I had no right to be en | gaged to him for an hour longer. He thought I loved him: I thought he loved me. Now we know that neith er of us loves the other except as friends." Dora started up and clutched Cynthia by the shoulders.' Now that ; she was m a sitting posture, the , Jight reflected from the street be : low showed her face very white, her | hair much tumbled, her eyes wide ! and dark. j "You mean—you mean" —she stam | mered—"that your engagement is broken!" "Yes, I mean just that Dora, my | dear. But if I had known that it would upset you to hear about it, I wouldn't have told you of it until to-morrow. Do lie down. You will make your head worse." "I want to hear all about It," Dora ; insisted. "Go ahead. Tell me." "Then lie down." Cynthia ordered. ' "There is not much to tell," she con ! tinued when her cousin had obeyed her. sick girl's uneven breatb i ing proved that she was still excit ed. and Cynthia hurried on through the recital. "1 thought—l fancied—that Gerald ; loved me. and that he was unhappy I because of me. He—well—he fancied j the same thing about me. So he! asked nie to marry him out of pity , i for me. 'I accepted him out of pity for him. I told him the truth to night. He told me the truth. That is all." There was a long silence. When Dora spoke it was in a tense, strain ed voice. "Cyn, I want you to do something for me at once." "What, dear?" "Telephone to Milton that I must ' see him to-morrow, no matter what ! happens. Do you understand?" ! "But." Cynthia demurred, "it is 1 half-past ten. The telephone might startle Mr. Van Saun. For all we know, everybody may be in bed." "Then give me my portfolio and | some paper," Dora commanded. "I will write to Milton. Let one of the servants take the note to the corner and post it at once. Milton will get it by the first delivery in the morn i ing. I must see him. Cyn." But when Cynthia had switched on the light and brought the portfolio. Dora's hand trembled so that she j could scarcely hold her pen. "Cyn." she pleaded, "do write to Milton for me! Just tell him that I asked you to do it. You will not I mind, will you. dear? He need not know that you know why I want to see him." Without a word, Cynthia sat down at the desk, drew a sheet of paper toward her and wrote: "Dear Milton —Dora has a head ache, so is not quite equal to writ i ing herself. I "She has asked me to tell you that she would like you to come to see : her without fail to-morrow. Per haps you can stop on your way up I from the office in the afternoon.

"Now ad dress the envelope, stamp it and i have Marie run out to the corner i with it. I want it out of the house | before father and mother feet home." I But Cynthia waited to add a post ; script on her own account. | "As I do not believe in loveless : marriage." she wrote, "Gerald and I are no longer' engaged." It was easier to write this to Mil ton, she reflected, than to tell him about it. (To Be Continued! "See 'Gets-It' Peel Off This Corn." Leaves The Toe as Smooth as the Palm of Your Hand.

BLAJRRISBURG Iflfiftgfo TELEGRAPH! THEIR MARRIED LIFE Copyright by International Xetvs Service "She used to be a peach when I knew her,"' remarked Warren, fing ering the lavender envelope that he held in his hand. "She did," responded Helen some what lukewarmly.. "Yes, a good looker, and the best dressed girl anywhere in the country," bragged Warren. "I'd like to have her here at the house for tea or dinner, whatever you like. Feel as if I ought to do something you know. She took the trouble to look us up." Helen choked back the remark that it wasn't really necessary and said instead: "Certainly, dear, but why not ask her out somewhere? If she's from the west she ought to be eager to see the big hotels. A quiet home dinner might not appeal to her." "Hum!" said Warren shortly "Always trying to get out for din ner. aren't you? But no dojjbt you're right this time, besides easier to entertain that way." And so it was arranged that War ren was to fix things over the tele phone and that Helen was to come down to the office that evening, so that they could both meet Miss Emery in some convenient place and take her out to dinner. Helen was no more eager than any other wo man to entertain her husband's former sweetheart, and Warren's constant reiteration that the girl was a wonder, somehow irritated her more than she cared to admit. A hundred times in the course of the afternoon she changed her mind about what she should wear, and she finally wished desperately that they had planned to have her at the house to dinner rather than take her out- Helen felt that she would be more at ease and certain ly at an advantage In her own home, somehow street dress was not so conducive to one's satisfaction of mind as a soft informal gown with satin slippers, and the chance to do one's hair attractively. Due to the fact that she changed from her suit into a dress the last moment Helen was late at the of fice. She wished all the way down that she had a nice fur piece, and the fact made her uncomfortable, so that when she burst into Warren's office breathless she did not feel her best. "Can't you ever arrive on time?" was Warren's greetings. "I'm .sorry, dear, but everything went wrong." If only he would not take Jhat attitude tonight when she felt so miserable, Helen thought, wishing wildly that she had tele phoned and said she was ill, then Warren could have taken the won derful Miss Emery out alone. No doubt he would have preferred it that way. "Xow don't get into one of those sullen moods," Warren said crisp ly as they efitered the elevator. Helen's cheeks burned. Several people beside themselves were in the elevator and Warren's tone was loud enough to be overheard. She felt shamed and humiliated. Out in the crowded street it was impossible to hurry to the subway, and when they were finally cling- Daily Dot Puzzle 2fc ,• . ! -v : •* * i .*2 l x * 33 I• * • JO* 0 4 4 .35 • • •' ,o • ie '•% ' f V • . •* -3 7 it 4, • ' .* * 4 £ - b 4b 44 * AZ 7 T • 47. 45 So •fel to i . 7 I # 5b .• 49 •U se • 51 ] 55 S3 Draw from one to two. and so on to the end. 1 ing to straps Warren turned to her angrily. "Couldn't you have made an ef fort to be on time tonight? We'll be at least fifteen minutes late, and the girl's practically a stranger. "If you wouldn't think so much about that girl and a little bit more ' about your wife," Helen flamed ' dramatically. She can't be so verv ' young, either." "Jealous, eh?" "O, Warren." "Well, it certainly sounded that way." "I'm sorry I was late," said Helen quickly anxious to make amends. "But if she is staying in Brooklyn perhaps she will be late, too." "Xot a chance. Out-of-town peo ple are always on time for appoint ments. However. I knew you'd be late and so I told her ten minutes later than I said I would. As it is we're going to keep her waiting." I Once out of the subway, Warren ! took long strides and Helen had to very nearly run in order to keep I up with him, but she scorned to ask him to walk slower. "What's the matter?" he said ! finally, looking at her sarcasticallv, J "can t you hurry a little bit?" "Warren if your going to be so utterly detestable, Im not going a j step further," said Helen stopping' dead and facing him. "I mean it, I | too." "Come on," said Warren more good-naturedly. Don't make an 1 idiot of yourself." Helen who had continued by his side the moment that tone of re- ' lentment had crept into his voice, was almost crying with vexation and I the fact that she had been hurried | so. Who was this girl that every- I body must be made uncomfortable ! for her? "Here we are," said Warren, slip- j ping his hand under Helen's arm j and helping her up the steps," and here she is," as they turned into the little reception room at the side 1 of the entrance. Helen saw a plain almost dowdy little woman in what was plainh' j a last year's suit who was shaking I hands with Warren embarrassedly, f and was regarding Helen out of an xious eyes. Where was this stun ning, dignified woman Helen had I expected to meet? She turned ! toward Warren as they walked to the dining room and caught a sheepishly grin on his face. It was her moment of triumph, but she I did not take it. Secure in the knowledge that she had nothing to fear in this woman's attraction. Helen immediately set herself out to be as entertaining as she could. (To Be Continued) Advice to the Lovelorn Dear Miss Fairfax:—l am gointf around with a 'ellow who is sixteen and I am fifteen. Please tell me what time you think I should come in at) night. Of course I am not with him all the time. We walk around the street part of the evening. I do notl want to be out too late for my age. Please give me advice.—ANNA. | Dear Anna:—Of course I know it : is hard these warm evenings of lonm 1 twilights to remain indoors in the I evening, and I appreciate fully the' delights of strolling in the balmy! summer air. But for a girl of your I age to stroll on the streets after nine 1 o'clock is too late, as it is never per-| missable for even older people to' be wandering about the streets in thej evenings. Of course your friend call | at your home for you, and takes you j out with your parents' permission? If not, it is not the correct thing to I meet him on the street, as such a practice leads to worse and less inno- | cent pleasures. With your mother's permission, it is proper for you to > entertain callers until 10 o'clock at I your age. Dear Miss Fairfax:—l am a mar < -s Dandruff Surely Destroys the Hair V 1 ' J Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will j starve your hair and ruin it if you j don't It doesn't do much good to try to j brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply 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 com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It Is inexpensive and four ounces Is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple ' i remedy never fails. ried woman and I have met a man I' have learned to love dearly and I know my love is returned. I nave known him for a year and my hus band is not what he plight to be and he treats me very mean and is seven years my senior. He coaxed me into marriage with promises which he never kept. I was only seventeen then. He says he is going out into the country where I will have no company at all. and when I say any. thing about not going he says it it does not suit me to leave. I am not afraid to work, as I have been sup porting myself ever since we were married. What would you advise me to do?—BLUE-EYED SUSIE, UN HAPPY WIFE. The only thing for you to do if your husband is unkind to you is to try to have an understanding with him in an effort to make him im prove his treatment of you. If he will not treat you with the considera tion a wife deserves, then the only thing you can do is to leave him. Are you sure you have done your part? Obviously you have been keeping df .
