CHAPTER XXVI
Elizabeth Wade was more than
usually vivacious at supper that eve-1
ning. and later when the household i
group sat upon the veranda.
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!
You can keep your skin free from
hair or fuzz by the occasional use ;
or' plain delatone and in using it you
need have no fear of marring or
injuring the skin. A thick paste is
made by mixing some of the pow
dered delatone with water. Then
spread on the hairs and after two or
three minutes rub off. wash the skin
and all traces of hair have vanished. .
Be careful, however, to get real j
delatone. I

"I have never been west at all." I
she remarked. "So I know little!
about the except by hear-1
say."
"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."

0 MAKING THE MOST OF -
OUR CHILDREN U
A Series of Plain Talks to
By Ray C. 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

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.
