Clifford Chapin s> as going away. I If he guessed the truth about her identity, there was little danger ofj his revealing it to Butler before he left. She had seen him go down to the ; orchard this afternoon, had watched anxiously his return with Butler to i the farmhouse. But from Butler's demeanor she was sure that the i farmer's son had divulged to him nothing of a startling nature. She had scanned the two countenances as the pair reached the veranda. Young Chapin had looked rather glum; But ler seemed just as usual. At supper, Clifford had been si lent; John Butler, talkative. Well, the girl reflected, no harm had come of the incident of Doug-; las' letter. Even if young Chapin had seen the address on it, he had not associated it with her brother. Or, if he had. he was too honorable to make use of knowledge thus ac quired. This thought moved her to speak kindly to this pretentious and con ceited son of the house. Perhaps she had misjudged him. "You have a long qourney ahead of you." she remarked. "You will be very tired by the time you reach Chicago." "Oh. I don't know." with feigned, indifference, "traveling doesn't tire me much. Chicago is not nearly as i long way off as Wyoming, you know." She started, but controlled herself Hairs Will Vanish After This Treatment (Toilet Helps!

"I fancy Mr. Chapin was thinking of my having come from there," j Butler conjectured looking at the' other man curiously. Something was in the air. Of that he was sure. He was one of those sensitive persons who feel a certain ■ atmosphere before they detect what ! is wrong. The Air Is Charged Cliord Chapin met his sugges- I tion stolidly. "On the contrary." he declared. "I was not thinking of you |at all. I even forgot that you came from the west. But had I remem bered that Wade sent you here I would have supposed that your home was where he lives." "My home is not in the west."| Butler informed him. "I was out there for several months, but I am , an Easterner." "So is Wade," Clifford remarked. I Butler wondered why this fellow | was referring so often to the physi cian. Could he suspect that he, John Butler, had been a nervous wreck, j and Dr. Wade's patient? But of course he could know, notlt , ing of all this, he reminded himself 1 j reassuringly. Nobody here knew of 1 it. And anyway, his illness and its attendant horrors were all behind him now. He looked at Elizabeth and wasj startled by her pallor. Surely noth-i ing this man could be saying could affect her. The very Idea that such could be the case made hi mindig nant with the farmer's son. It was a good thing that he was going away. The pair were cousins, but they had little in common. A silence had descended upon the i party. Mrs. Chapin broke it. "Clifford, dear, are you taking the, automobile back to the Midland Ga-1 rage to-night?" "Surely. I am," he replied. "How. else would it and I get in?" "I didn't think," his mother apol- ; ogized. "That was a silly ques- [ tion." "I do not think it was at all,"! Elizabeth said quickly. "Your son I might be going in with the team, j having Talak drive htm, and Mr., Butler might be going to take the car back to-morrow, or somebody; could be coming out from Midland for it. So, your question was not silly." "Do you drive a car?" Clifford: asked Butler abruptly. "I have driven my own cars—i yes," was the reply. ; "Then scientific farming is only! an occupttion on the side," the other comnented. "It is what I specialized in at col- HARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH: lege." Butler Informed him. "Why I did you ask about my driving?" Another Break "Only because I was wondering that any man who could afford to own cars and that kind of thing should bury himself in a place like this," he growled. "Just as I won der why my cousin," —pausing be-i fore the word, then emphasizing it i strongly—"with her talents should i decide to spend the summer out on; a farm among strangers." "Shut up. Cliff!" Amos Chapin meant to mutter the warning softly, but it reached Elizabeth's ears. She was fearful lest Butler had i heard it. She must say something j to ease the situation! "I suppose that every girl who j has worked at college all the vear| is glad of a chance to rest out in! the country," she hazarded desper- j ately. "At college!" The exclamation was Clifford's, ! and Elizabeth realized that in her j nervousness and excitement she had admitted that she had been at col lege. Yet nowadays even a girl like Martha Chapin's cousin might go to college. "Yes!" she answered Clifford's ex clamation hastily. "You know so little of your relatives that you erei not even sure which of your cousins! is a college girl. But lam one." She could feel John Butler turn | toward her. "I thought as much,"j he observed. "Yet you never void i me of it." Clifford Chapin rose abruptly. "I wonder, Lizzie," with forced calmness, "if I could have a few i minutes' talk with you."

Beery, A.8., M.A. \. ? ■ , 'Af President of the Parents Association. X. / No. 7. Are Your Children "Afraid"? (Copyrighted, 1918, by The Parents Association, Inc.) ■\7"OU are making your child's j[ character day by day and hour i by hour. i Are your children "afraid" of things? And if they are, do you ; know how to help them to get the better of their childish fears? • Fear does more than make the , world miserable. It is responj ble ] for practically all mental and nearly j all physical disorders. And it keeps : people down. The man or woman ! who is timid seldom "arrives." You want to teach your child to overcome fear, but to do this suc cessfully your methods must be based upon knowledge of the underlying causes of fear. A father writes to me: I wish you would tell us how to convince a three-year-old that, after ; he goes to sleep, a "moo-cow" with an insatiable appetite for little chil ! dren will not gain access to the room. I can't imagine where be grot ; the notion. You can easily lead the child to master such a fear, for while the trouble seems to be at night rather . than in daytime, yet impressions re ceived during the day have a great I influence. If possible, arrange to take this boy to see some one milk a very tame cow so that he can ob serve how absolutely fearless of the j animal the owner is. Have the boy gradually draw nearer and nearer. | Do not coax or pay any special at : tention to him, but continue to make i the suggestion that the cow is gentle j and tame and gives fine, sweet milk. ( Speak in a very low and calm voice. \ If It Is not convenient to carry out | the method suggested, simply draw a picture of a cow. You might begin by telling about where the milk comes from. This will lead naturally to a little talk about the cow. As you draw (you need not be an artistj you can , talk reassuringly. Say something I Life's Problems Are Discussed By lire. Wilson Woodrow He was a staranger to me. a man who had come in to repair some fur niture. But as I watched him work these were some of the things I thought. "I wonder why this man is doing this tinkering job? He evidently has a good deal of character and more than the usual share of intelli gence. He looks square, too, the sort of a person you could trust, and he is certainly capable." I had ask him a question or so. and he had responded by telling me some thing of flis history. "And so." he said, concluding his recital. "I was through bankruptcy, and I came out without a nickel in my pocket. But I'll tell you this, I wouldn't do it over again. I was a fool. Suppose I'd saved something for myself to start on. why, people would have said: "He's crooked and all of that, but he's pretty smart.' Why. by George, they would have thought something of me. Now they just shrug their shoulders and think: Poor nut!' I did not make any reply. What he said was no doubt true. It is prob ably the way a certain number of his associates would have looked at the matter. I might have remarked "Well, you had the enterhal satisfac tion of knowing you did right," he' would probably have answered: "Yes. and a fat lot of good that does me!" A little later the same day I listen ed to a womanwho was analyzing the qualities and characteristics of a mutual friend. "Now. Mary," 6he said, "is foolishly ethical. She has a 'bug on the sub ject of loyalty and fair dealing, and as that sort of thing, and the result is that she is frequently imposed up on." I immediately began to consider the case of Mary. I did not think the other woman had stated if quite cor rectly. Mary no doubt, was imposed on now and then, but she had the un swerving confidence of every one who knew her. They were instinc tively aware that she was absolute ly to be relied upon and that her honesty of native and sense of fair play were impeccable. All this had given her a high stand ing in the particular work in which she was engaged. She had business associations with many people, and like this. "Maybe when you are a little older, you cogld take care of a cow yourself. Wouldn't that be fine? You could drive her out to eat green grass in the pasture field. And per haps you could go up and pet her: she might run away from you at first, but after she finds out you don't want to hurt her she would not run away from you and she would let you pet her whenever you wanted to." Frequent conversation of this na ture will help the boy to overcome his fear of cows at night. Be sure your child has plenty of fresh air in his room at night and not too many covers. When the blood becomes warm, it influences the im agination during sleep. Make a spe- I cial effort to have him go to bed in a very quiet atmosphere. It would be a good idea to accompany him to bed for a few evenings, remaining with him for a few minutes, talking to him quietly about what a fine time he will have the next day and dwell ing on a few things which would be pleasant for him to think and dream about. A very serious mistake is often made by parents who ridicule their children in this fashion: "Oh, Tom, for pity sake, don't be so foolish! You act like a little baby. Why. you know better that to act so silly!" This makes the case worse instead of better, because the child feels that even his parents do not sympathize with him, and there is a tendency for him to dream that he is in trouble and that no one comes to rescue him. j Fear is a matter of feeling and must be reached through feeling, not by will near reason. If your child has fear of some object and you wish to cure him, two things are essential. You must make the object familiar and you must arrange for him to have pleasant associations in connec tion with it. Any fear treated in this way will rapidly disappear. perhaps it was invitable that she should suffer some imposition. What of it? It is always better to be the one that is imposed on than the one who imposes, and a large confidence and admiration weigh considerably heavier In life's scales than a few injustices and disloyalties. As for the man who talked to me, he was merely temporarily embittered by a bit of bad luck. But one snow flake doesn't make a winter any more than one swallow makes a summer. The quality in him that induced fail ure in one instance might be the very quality that would Induce success in the next. The world's demand for intelligent, square men is never filled. They are the shinning needles for which the business haystacks are determinably searched. All of our debts are not financial ones. The person who habltualy im pose upon another's kindness or gen erosity is simply piling up an enorm ous quantity of debt, which sooner or later he has got to pay with com pound interest. The law is not abated one Jot or tittle. We all have tbeen taught the such sayings as "With what meas ure ye mete it shall be meted unto you again" are regilious utterances enunciating what we vaguely call spiritual truths. Instead, they are very clear statements of unescapa ble, everyday fact—just plain cause and effect. And the bother of it is that we've got to live with ourselves, and it isn't pleasent to have an inseparable companion whom we know to be an habitual law-breaker. I don't know any really all-around wicked people. I don't believe they exist. We all have the virtues of our vices and the hices of our vir tues. But I have from time to time known persons who apparently did not even try to be Just fair or even decently kind. As far as I can see. they were more to be pitied than blamed. They worked so awfully hard to evade such small obligations and responsi bilities: and they tried so desperately to justify themselves and to explain how misunderstood they were, that they were terrible bores. It really looks as if the victims have a much easier lot than the ones who victimize. They can go about in a care-free way and enjoy themselves.
