The Plotters A New Serial of East and West By Virginia Terhune Vnn de Water As soon as Elizabeth Wade had uttered her thoughtless remark, she knew she had made a mistake. • Perhaps she felt the form at her side start slightly. Perhaps iiis si lence warned her that something was amiss. * What had she said? Oh, yes, that she had no sister! An awfut thought struck her. Did the real Lizzie Moore have a Ulster, and, if so, did Clifford Chapin know it? Then she recalled with a throb of relief that he had spoken several times of knowing nothing of his Pennsylvania relatives. Yet he had also said that he remembered see ing little Lizzie Moore when she was "a small girl with pig-tails." Elizabeth tried to quiet the beat- j Jng of her heart by the reflection that no harm could have been done. She must have imagined that her | retort had not made any unusual ! impression upon Clifford Chapin. Ifj It had he would have replied to it. I To test him she asked idly: "Did j you ever wish you had a sister?" I "No," he replied, promptly, and his ' manner was so natural that she felt j Immediately reassured, "I never i wished for either a brother or a j sister. I like the parental spotlight j to be turned full upon me all the | time. Don't I, mother?" Mrs. Chapin leaned forward as he ' repeated his question. As usual she j smiled at what she considered her! eon's witticism. "Now, Clifford, dear." she said, "you I always talk as if you was selfish. I But you're not—not a mite." ' Then she began to regale Eliza-1 beth with a description of some of | her boy's unselfish acts, and the girl, j pretending to listen. smiled sym- j pathetically. The subject of these eulogiums had j "1 Feel Like a Live Wire" Says Wagner "I was so near down and out that | tt took all of my will power to keep , at my work," says John Wagner, of j Oberlin, Pa.

The Letter Drop?* At the door of the farmhouse Elizabeth Wade sprang from the car before Clifford had a chance to help her. As he began taking out the parcels by which Mrs. Chapin was surrounded, Elizabeth came to his as sistance. "Here, give me some of those and help your mother," she ordered. He did her bidding, and as she mounted the steps with an armful of groceries she dropped one of the parcels. • Stopping quickly, she picked it up. As she did so. the letter she had tucked into her belt slipped to the ground. She did rot see it, but went on into the kitchen with her burden. Return ing a minute later she found Clifford standing at the foot of the steps, her letter in his hand. His mother had gone into the house by the side door. "You dropped this," he remarked, still holding the epistle. "I picked it up." "Oh. thank you!" She held out her hand for her property, and he gave it to her, looking her full in the face as he did so. The address was uppermost, and she noted with a shock that the num ber of Douglas Wade's P. O. bos and "Riverhill. Wyo„ were stamped on the corner of the envelope. "Thank you!'' she repeated con fusedly. "I did not know I had dropped it." She was glad that Douglas's name was not on the envelope. Perhaps Clifford did not know where the owner of the farm was living now. Yet, as she went up to her room she was acutely uncomfortable. Could she have heard the conversa tion that took place a few minutes ; most serious are Rheumatism, with its torturing pains; Catarrh, often a forerunner of dread consumptions Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas and other disfiguring skin diseases; Malaria, which makes the strongest men helpless, and many other dis eases are the direct result of impure blood.

Atlanta, Ga. later between Mrs. Amos Chapln and her son she would have been Mrs. Chapln was in her room lay ing oft her hat when Clifford en tered unceremoniously. • "Mother," he said without prelim inary, "how many children has your cousin, John Moore?" The Secret Out Martha Chapin was not in the habit of practising finesse or diplomacy, and for the moment was off her guard. "Three," she replied promptly. "Two of them are boys, aren't they%" Clifford asked with assumed carelessness. "Why, no—Cousin John never had a boy— except one that died when it was an infant. He's got only girls; and I guess they have a hard time to get along." Then she stopped, her face red dening. She remembered the role that Elizabeth Wade was playing, "X mean," she added hastily, "that when there's only girls, it's hard to support them. Girls can't work the way men can." Her son smiled sarcastically. "Yes, in spite of all that, one of the daugh ters has a good education and dresses in cloths of a different cut and style from those worn by most poor work ing girls," he mocked. "Clifford!" The matron's face was pale now. "Don't talk in that tone, dear. I wish I could explain about It all, but I can't." "I don't need an explanation, per haps," he said slowly. "But I do wonder what kind of a girl you think this so-called Lizzie Moore is in her own home town." "She's a dear, sweet girl, his mother declared. "And I'm sorry for her. She is doing just what she's been told to do—though I don't un derstand about It. It there's any fault it's not hers." Clifford Chapin was watching his mother curiously. "You." he pronounced each word deliberately and sternly, "are the most gullible, least suspicious person I ever saw. And father's as bad. However," with a shrug of his should ers, "of course it's none of my busi ness."

HARRISBURG sfiS&l TELEGRAPH 0 MAKING THE MOST OF - ~ OUR CHILDREN •4 A Series of Plain Talks to By R ay c Beery, A.8., M.A. President of the Parents Association. THE old adage "Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child" was easy to follow. It made child train ing easy to many parents a genera tion ago. ■ To-day there is no such simple rule for bringing up children. Many par ents are bewildered by the conflict between several varying theories of education that are "in the air." I sometimes hear parents say that they have employed every method under the sun and in spite ■*£ Jhis their children behave in a most undesir able fashion. Not all methods are good, and cer tainly a combination of all methods, a sort of pot-pourri of educational methods, is anything but good. | Imagine, for instance, a mother's ; saying that in her attempt to cure j her boy of lying she had tried scold- j ing the boy, reasoning with him, de- i nying him privileges, being kind to j him. threatening him' and even I whipping him —all to no avail. And yet, many cases of this sort come to my attention. "I have a boy of ten," writes one mother, "who cannot speak the truth. He will take things and with the most innocent look tell you he knows nothing about it. He was in the 'Home' for a year and in spite of all the methods which the govern ess used, he came out much worse than when he went in. Please tell me how to reform this child." Corporal punishment is used rath er freely in most of these "Homes." The boys, who are not always super vised in the way that they should be, get into mischief and in order to avoid the uSual consequences, they very naturally falsify. And whip ping a boy for falsifying generally makes him wprse. To overcome this habit, it is nec essary to map out a positive course Sugar Honor Sugar and the have combined forces to put the non-combatant Am ericans to a big test. They are go)ng to reveal those who are without hon or. The family which buys sugar for canning and then uses it to frost cakel are not "putting one over on the government:" This Is America's war, and Ameri ca's wars are not won alone by the soldiers In the field. They are won by every American standing firmly and honorably behind the men at the front. Any mother would hide her face with shame If her soldier son were caught in a dishonorable act. She knows that the country is trust ing him as she trusts him. The coun try is now trusting her and her fam ily to use Just as small an aVnount of sugar possible; to use every grain which she aays she wants for canning, for that purpose; not to run from store to .store getting more sugar than is due her. What would a soldier in France think if he knew his family back home was betraying their country's trust? The grocer does not think you are dishonest when he asks you to sign a certificate saying that you will use your sugar for canning purposes, any more than the public thinks a gov | ernment official disloyal when it asks him Xo sign and oath of office. Do not have an aversion to signing your noire in a good cause, and when you do so, stand by it. Sugar must be saved, and each one 1 of us is in honor bound to save it to the utmost. Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX NO GREAT DIFFERENCE IN AGE DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am married to a man 44 yearß old and am 24, and he is a Very good man: but every time I happen to meet any of my friends they all tell me that I have made a very bad mistake by marrying a man so much older. Now, Fairfax, would you please tell me if I have made a mis take, as it is always on my mind. J. I* The people you refer to as making comments on the difference between your and your husband s ages are not friends, but meddlesome busybodies who are, doubtless, jealous that you are both so happy. Do not allow any further remarks on the subject. The difference you mention ia not too great. Some of the happiest mar riages in the world are where there ia eves a greater difference. of action which involves some re- ! sponsibility on the boy's part. Let ! the ten-year-old boy in question de liver some daily paper in his home his WIU put a daU >' respon sibility upon his shoulders. His cus tomers will expect the papers and he will be obliged to deliver them on time. He will learn to know the value of a dollar by earning it. He will have to do his collecting in a business-like fashion. This, espe cially, will be just what he needs. Do not ask a boy of this sort to make any promise unless under ex ceedingly favorable conditions. When he does promise a thing, see that he carries it out. Make it a point, whenever circum stances permit, to shaw a proper ex ample in regard to your own hon esty. If you happen to owe some orte ever so small an amount, for the sake of the boy's training, if for no other reason, go out of your way if necessary to square it up. Al ways act quickly in regard to every obligation. When eight years old, my father sent me to a hardware shop a half mile from home to buy something which cost five cents more than I had in my pocket. The clerk said that it would be all right, simply take along the purchased article and pay for it later. When. I reached home and told father that we still owed a nickel, he sent me back with the money at once before he would allow me to have my dinner. It seemed a little foolish at the time, but running back that half mile with a nickel had the effect of mak ing an indelible impression on my ;nlnd, and to this day, I have been influenced by father's strict policy and example.
