THE PLOTTERS
A New Serial of East and West
By Virginia Terhune Van da Water
CHAPTER XLVII.
Copyright. 1918. Star Company.
It was late afternoon when, hav
ing walked for several miles through
the pine woods towards the sinking
sun, Butler and Elizabeth turned
their faces homeward.
Slowly, eliminating all traces of
feeling from her voice and man
ner, Elizabeth Wade had told her
companion of the scheme that her
brother and she had carried out.
She offered no apologies. In fact,
she avoided as much as possible all
personalities. Therefore, she did not
say that she had been aware of the
nature of Butler's malady. She
knew that a man hates to be con
sidered nervous. So she merely re
ferred to his illness as the result of
overwork. She admitted that her
brother had wished to get his pa
tient far from surroundings that
would remind' him of his work and
suffering.
Douglas had also, she explained,
wanted his patient to feel free to do
as he pleased on the farm. If But
ler had known that the girl who
was staying with the Chapins was
the sister of his physician, he might
have felt under some obligation to
pay her some attention.
'"lt seemed best for reasons con
nected with the farm itself for me
to be here this summer," Elizabeth
added. "I was sure—as was Doug
la? —that Amos had a plan for buy
ing it. What that plan was it "is

not necessary for me to divulge
now. It does not concern you, Mr.
Butler, so I will not annoy you
with it."
"I would like to know about'l#."
John said. "But first I must try to
j thank you for all you have done for
| nte this summer.'
"For you!" the girl exclaimed.
"But I have done nothing for you!
I knew that my brother- was much
I interested in your case, and for his
I sake I wanted to make your recov
| ery possible. I believed that if
| Douglas' sister were on the lookout,
j Douglas' patient would receive
more consideration from the Chap
ins than if he were a boarder with
out any one of his own kind near
him."
No Explanation,
.'"But what explanations did you
make to the Chapins themselves?"
"None. I simply told them that
my brother wished me to rest here
quietly, and that it would be easier
for me to do this if it were thought
that I was a relative of theirs. Can
you forgive all this hypocrisy?"
j turning to him impulsively.
| "Forgive!" he repeated, as he had
done yesterday when she used that
word. "Can I ever make you un
derstand how grateful I am to you
for all that you have sacrificed? It
must have been a hard experience
I for you."
"Oh, no," she smiled, flushing be
neath his keen scrutiny. "There
have been some rather difficult fea
tures to the affair, but it is all over
now."
"Don't say that," he begged. "I
annot have it all over--=the part
that meant so much more than
| health to me —as much more as
1 happiness is more than health.
! Elizabeth, dear, can't you sec—
I haven't you seen all along—that I
love you?"
I For only a minute she hesitated.
I Then she looked straight into his
I eyes.
I "And can't you see," she mur
|mured, "that I love you, John?"
I They lingered so long in the
wood, talking as lovers always talk,
jthat John exclaimed in consterna
jtion on looking at his watch:
"Bless me! We can hardly get
j back to the farm before supper
I time! Won't old Chapin be fussed?"
| "What do we care?' the girl chal
l lenged. "We belong to each' o.ther,
i not to him."
| "You are not even his wife's
|cousin now!" the man laughed hap
! pily. "How well you fooled me,
'.dear!"
! "I thought at first that I had
fooled even Clifford Chapin," Eliz
abeth feplied, "but I was wrong
I there."

when she made this assertion..
"But you did fool him," he in
sisted. .
She shook her head. "No, Clif
i ford knew who I was—even if he
did not tell you."
He Refuses to Tell
"He knew you were not his cous
in," Butler said.. "He did not know
who you really were."
A hard ring had come into his
voice, and Elizabeth laid her hand
on his arm. .
'"Why, John, what's the matter?"
What did Clifford say to you? Tell
me about it."
"1 can't, dear?" he objected.
"Only that he said thaj you were
not Lizzie Moore."
"Then what happened?" she asked
cui iously.

in. He is not worth talking about.
Such being the case, suppose we
agree to leave him out of future dis
icussiohs."
! "Very well," she assented. "I
!never did care to talk much about
trifles, anyway. They are, as you |
intimate, hardly worth spending
good time on."
Yet, as the walked on in single
file —for the path was rough and
narrow, the girl was wondering just
what Clifford Chapin had said to
John Butler..
But never mind! It made no
difference. All the world was
changed for her. John loved her;
she loved him. They would always
be together.
Even though Douglas was going
to marry, she need never be lonely
again.
To Be Continued
Advice to the Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
Mabye She Is Over-Cautious
Dear Miss Fairfax; I am deeply
in love with a young lady, and I know
that my love is reciprocated, I am
a skilled mechanic in the electrical
line, and working in a shipyard. My
girl and I were planning to get
married in the early part of the fall.
But the other evening, when I re
turned from my daily routine, there
was a letter from the War Depart
ment awaiting me. and I shall have
to answer the call to arms*.
Now an argument has arisen about
my going to France. This young
lady claims that she would not marry
me before I leave. Her idea is this:
If a girl marries a man before he
goes to war, and this man should die,
or come home maimed, she would
be in a fine fix; so now I think 'hat
I made a big mistake when I thought
that my love was reciprocated.
I think that this would be a great
opportunity for both of us, as I have
no dependants and the money that
I would receive would go to her.
At present, she holds a good posi
tion and she could continue this un>
til I came back. This would cover
licr expenses, as she lives at home.
Therefore, the money which is due
her every month could be put away
for our future home.
This would give me more courage.
I would realize that I had some one
to fight or.
PUZZLED.
I am disappointed in that girl of
yours. Puzzled, but I hope when she
, takes a little time to reflect on the
situation, she will change her mind
and decide to marry you before you
sail. • I have not given your entire
letter, but you have proved conclu
sively that you are amply able to
take care of a wife, and so many
boys in your position, unfortunately,
are not able to marry their sweet
hearts, even when the girls have the
courage that yours seems to lack.
However, do not be discouraged
Your letter proves that you are
manly and intelligent, and if this
girl does not appreciate you suffi
ciently to marry you, some one more
worthy, undoubtedly, will. You have
my best wishes.
FEELS WIVES HAVE BEEN
SLIGHTED
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Kindly answer my question in
your column. Why do they always
mention the name of mother and
never that of wife, in regard to
soldiers and sailors? I have noticed
in all the speeches and songs that
I have heard the name of a soldier's
wife is never mentioned. Why is
she not considered in war time?
A SOLDIER'S WIFE.
Have you never heard of the sol
dier's and Bailor's toast, "Sweet
hearts and wives"? No mention at.
all of mother here. I think the word
wife must have just happened to
escape you, as I have heard it repeat
edly in songs and addresses.
WANTS TO BRING HTM TO THE
POINT
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am very fond of a young man
who seems to care for me, but he
i! afraid to tell me, and I can't bring
him to confess his love—ha just
will not. He never comes to my
house yithout bringing a friend with
him. Could you tell me any way I
could win this young man?
M. C.
This young Man .of yours seems
abnormally cautious since he will
not come to see you unless re
inforced by a friend. There Is
really nothing to dp but have pa
tlende and wait until you have tamed
him a little more.

A Series of Plain Talks to
President of die Parents Association.

No. 29. Can You Control Your Neighbor's Children?
WHEN your Tommy seems to
want to destroy everything
he can lay his hands on, don't
think he is hopeless.
Nearly every chil(\ in the course
of his development, passes through
the stage at which he wants to "bust
things up."
Of course, the destructive child is
a problem and the matter of hand
ling it is very important.
One mother*writes to me;
"Our 3 -year-old son has recent
ly taken on the habit of getting into
his father's tools, his sister's dolls, or
whatever he happens to find and lit
erally playing havoc. We tried to let
him have a little garden of his own
but he was so destructive we had to
give it up. We never believed in
corporal punishment, but lately in
sheer desperation have resorted to
it. But the spanking did more harm
than good. Will you help us solve
this problem?"
It is natural for your boy to get
pleasure out of destroying things-
And the fact that he gets pleasure
out of it is the reason he does it.
As to the solution the most hope
ful fact is that you can teach your
boy that there are other ways of
getting pleasure out of activity be
sides destroying things.. You can
teach him J.o like the building up as
well as the tearing down. But re
member he needs to be taught and
encouraged. -
Do not correct him for destroying
a thing regardless of what that thing
is. For example, a weed is to be de
stroyed but a plant raised for food
is to be preserved. You see it is
logical to put the emphasis upon
the thing, making a distinction as
to what things it is proper to destroy
and what to handle with care rather
than to scold and show disapproval
of every destructive act.
Supply your boy with harmless
and useless things which he can de

stroy and also with things to do of
a constructive nature. • Show a
friendly spirit of co-operation in
this. Tell him he may destroy cer
tain old things which you give him
as well as handle other things in a
different manner. Activity is what
he wants especially—not merely to
be doing what is forbidden. So
keep him busy doing permissable
things.
In regard to the forbidden things,
tell him in a confidential way, calm
ly but firmly, that he is to leave them
entirely alone. Test him out a little
at first. Be near enough and inci
dentally keep a 'close watdh." When
he gets too close or starts to do the
forbidden things, remind him gently
but firmly.
Rem'ember, he simply loves to
handle things and take them apart.
Give him very large blocks and
molding clay. See that he has
plenty of crude material to work
with. Approve him every time ho
makes any effort to bujld something,
or make something, or put some
thing together. You soon will have
turned his present tendency into a
most hopeful trait.
You could hardly expect a boy
under four* not to be destructive in
a garden. The better plan would
be to set off a plot ten feet square
in which he cun do absolutely any
thing he pleases with his garden
tools. Let him dig tunnels as deep
as he wishes, or make railway lines,
or big mountains. Don't insist upon
his telling you what he is making.
Indeed he may not know. Much of
