Mrs. Higgins asked the question of Mildred at supper on Sunday night. 4 "No," the girl shook her head de cidedly; "X went to church this morning; moreover, I have an en gagement for this evening. Arthur Bruce is coming in." "Mrs. Higgins looked surprised. "Honora, child," she asked, "don't you want to stay at home too?" "No," Honora assured her. "I ■want especially to go with you to night." "There will be no chaperon for Milly if I go," Mrs. Higgins began, but Mildred broke in with a sharp ness that was unusual with her. "Oh, please don't let us bring up that absurd matter, again!" she ex claimed. "Katie w : ill be hero if I want anything, and if I am not safe in our own living-room with an old' friend like Arthur, then I will never be safe anywhere with anybody. Am not right, Honora?" , "Ye's, Honora agreed, "I do think you are right. Anyway, we will Ire back here by half past nine, Mrs. Higgins." "Yes, that's so." the matron ad mitted, at last convinced. "Her husband died when she was so young that she is just liko an old maid," Mildred grumbled to her sis ter after supper. "She makes me tired." ' "Hush dear!" Honora warned ' "Sh—feels the responsibility of us girls that's all. She is as dear and good as can be." "Yes. X suppose she is," Mildred t acknowledged, "By the way, I tele- phoned Arthur that you and she were going out. So he knows he will find me alone, as he requested. I wonder what he wants." There was an eager curiosity in her eyes that her sister noted with a slight recoil. Such a look was not exactly maidenly, she reflected. Then she laughed as an idea oc curred to her. "Whdt are you laughing at?" Mil dred demanded. ' "I Just happened to think that I am getting somewhat like Mrs. Hig gins myself," Honora said smilingly. "For pity's sake don't!" Mildred exclaimed, kissing her. "You are nice just as you are." Bruce Finds Her When she had waved good-by to her sister and companion, she went into the living-room and tprned on, the light in the lamp with the most becoming shade, then seated herself comfortably In a great chair to wait. Ten minutes later Arthur Bruce found her here. There were seldom j any awkward pauses in a conversa- | tion with Mildred Brent,,, and she! begun at once to talk of Honora's.l goodnesb in taking Mrs. Higgins to' ch">rch, of the beauty of the drive i Millions Use It For Colds Because 'Tape's Cold Compound" relieves cold or grippe misery in a few hours—Really wonderful!

"1 like working away from home much better than I would staying here keeping house. So does Hono ra. We like to be independent,—or to feel so." Arthur Brent knew it was Incum ment, although this was not a matter o.n which he could fix his mind at this Juncture. "So Honora likes being in a law year's office, does she?" he queried. "Yes," Mildred affirmed. "Mr. Pearson's awfully kind to her. But 1 think everybody's kind to Honora She is popular always. All her ac quaintances love her." The words wore uttered as a challenge, and the man seized upon them. "She is no more popular than you, Mildred, In fact, one of the rea sons X like to talk to her is that in some ways she reminds me of you. Your voices are exactly alike. I can never tell one from the other over the telephone." "Then, perhaps you thought it was Honora calling you up this af ternoon," the teased. "Perhaps you thought it was she telling you you could come around here to night. i Arthur did not smile at her jest ing tone. The Secret Out "Of course I knew it was you then, as I had asked you to tele phone if I could see you -alone to night. Mildred—you know—don't you?—why X wanted to come?" She widened her eyes in surprise. "Why, I suppose to occupy a stupid Sunday evening in some way; Sun day evenings are always stupid— don't you think so?" But he was not to be turned from Ill's purpose. "Mllly"—he began. "Don't call me 'Milly' " she warned. He tried to smile. "I forgot aguin!" she exclaimed. "But, dear, what difference does it make what X call you when what I am trying to tell you is that I love you?" The words were out. The de claration for which the girl had been listening had been made. She was actually sorry it was over so soon. ... "Wait!" she ordered, as Arthur tried to take her hand in- his. "Sit down there and let me tell you something." • She was so calm that the lover's heart sank ■yrithin film, ."You dbn.'t love ane.'' he said as ho sat down near her.

To Be Continued. Dr. Becht Urges an Advance For Teachers "The movement to have the next Legislature make an "emergency" appropriation to enable the school districts of Pennsylvania to increase the salaries of teachers is well under way in every section of the state and it is being strongly supported," said Dr. J. George Becht, secretary of the State Board of Education, to day. In the last week Dr. Becht has been in touch with educators and men interested in the maintenance of the standard of education in thi3 state and has been actively planning for the presentation of the nieasutf. "We drafted the necessary !c'-",tsia tion for an appropriation to afford a twenty-five per cent. Increase for the teachers some time ago." continued Dr. Becht. "This will take something like $15,000,000, but it is generally conceded that it is just. l Tnere are teachers getting only SOOO and they have remained at their pos<s when they could have easily earned more money in other lines. The devotion and sacrifice of the teachers should be recognized." 1 Dr. Becht said that the Slato Board of Education and legislative oomniit tcee of the State Educational Asso ciation had approved the proposed bill and that at tho conference of edueaors from Southeastern Penn sylvania held here on Saturday steps were taken to organize support for the measure in each county. Similar moves will bo takeri'm other districts. Dr. J. P. Gather, of Philadelphia, was one of the speakers at the con ference and presented the situation in Philadelphia. Superintendent F. E. Downes, of this 'ity, who called the conference, presided.

By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife Chapter LIII (Copyright, 1918, by Kings Fea ture Syndicate, Inc.) Evvy and I did little talking as we spun up the avenue on the way to Carlier's, and our very silence suggested intimacy. The crisp air had a pleasantly restorative effect. I suppose every lonely, worried woman in all the world has at some time fled to the big Impersonality of the out-of doors world and has found healing in the sunshine and the breezes that refuse to be coaxed inside of four walls. So by the time we got to Carlier's I was ready to echo the sentiments of Browning's "all's right with the world." I need not have been in such a hurry. For, hardly were we seated when Evvy renewed her attack. | "You'll come to me for the week end, won't you. Aline? I've quite I set my heart on having you. I'd begun to feel that we four were a cosy little intimate group such as one doesn't often find in the city. And lately we have been drifting apart—that dates to the coming of Virginia Daiton, I should say." 1 actually managed to answer her in merry mood and without a thought of my old foe —Jealousy. "A lot dates back, to, the coming of Virginia, Evvy. She's a danger ous rival to the young bride. Jlm niie just adores her." "How any man can adore that — icicle —is beyond me!" interrupted Evvy with a little grimace of dis ,taste. "Just hearing her mentioned congeals me—so I'll have to order my tea hot. Hpw about you?" For a moment Evvy bent her at tention on the order—tea, nuts and lettuce sandwiches and little cakes —then she returned to the subject of her house party : "Let's not talk about Virginia. I'm sure you don't like her much better than 1 do. Surely Jim isn't going to be silly enough to insist on staying in town every weekend this fall Just because his sister is here —that would be too silly!" "Well, Jim is almost 'silly,' as you call it, about the girls; but we mustn't blame him, Evvy. They've been apart so long—and 1 think Virginia needs him —she Isn't alto gether happy, I'm sure, and Jim seems to be the one person to whom she can really talk. Then there's Phoebe. She must have been just a little girl when Jim left—and he comes back and finds her a young lady. It's no wonder he's perfectly ! happy just to be In the same room with them right now." "You mean you won't come?" Evvy's eyes narrowed and she I stared at me with hostile insistence i almost as if she were ordering me to do us she asked. When she spoke again to bridge my silence, the husky tone of her voice had given way to a sharp ring. "Look here, Anne—we might just as well call a spade a spade. It isn't Jim's willingness to come that bothers you. It's Neal you're hesita ting about. Thut brother of yours is treating me shabbily and I won't stand for it. Jle certainly was anxious enough to see a lot of me— at first. Huyt) you two a little habit df—using people—and then drop ping them after they've served your purpose?" She looked at me sneeringly over the rim of her teacup and under the unexpected Hail of her angrj' demands 1 could only stammer in amazement. "Evvy, you'd better speak more plainly. What are you insinuating?" Evvy smiled, put down her cup and took one elaborately casual nibble at a sandwich. Then she pushed her plate aside and leaned across the table —still smiling. "My dear, must I remind you? You know I wus a very convenient friend for you to have not so long ago—when you didn't want Mrs. Varden to suspect anything about that gorgeous robe my cousin Tom gave you." There was an unmasked threat in every word. Evvy had helped me. Now she was ready to collect—and to collect In full. f She read my silence to suit her self. "Ah—l see we do understand each I other now. I don't want to be made a fool of—used and dropped by you and your brother NeaJ. And you don't want the world to know how—useful my cousin Tom has been to you." "Stop! Stop right this Instant!" I cried firmly determined she should understand that I rejected her ugly bargain, and rejected it completely. "Y'ou know as well as I do thgt there can't be any ugly discussions about the robe, since your cousin merely left It In his apartment along with the ' rest of the furnishings. Jim looks upon that robe exactly us he does the carved chest In which it was stored. So we won't discuss this again, ! please. And If you want Mrs. Var- I den to know that you—fibbed to < 1 her—Just tell her. That won't re- i fleet on me either." Like every bully in the world, Evvy changed her tone the minute j she found her bluff was going to be met—and called. "My dear! Don't get so excited— perhaps I'm a little hurt about the way Neal neglects me for that silly little Phoebe, and I thought you might have the same Instinctive desire to help me that I felt for you when we bumped into Mrs. Var den that day. But don't act as if you thought I was—threatening you. Are you going to humiliate me, too?" 1 was wearied by the whole dis cussion. 1 nodded to the waiter and took the check, in spite of Evvy's protests that she had in vited me. I wanted to burst out and ask her what she could possi bly want of Neal. Evvy was at least my own age—twenty-six—of that I felt sure, and my twenty two-year-old brother was really only a child; yet she spoke of him with actual passion. Was it hurt pride—or some even greater, urge that moved her? While I was pondering. Evvy leaned over the table again—wist- ful and sweet—and played her trump card. "Ailne, dear don't you see an inch beyond your own nose? How do you think Virginia Daiton feels about this little romance? She con siders Phoebe a baby yet, and you'll only make an enemy of her if through your sentimentality Neal Is cut off from other friendships and turns-—as he would in that case— fnore than ever to Phoebe. Can't you see it?" 1 saw It, but avoided acknowledg ing it. "Shall we start home?" I asked more coolly than 1 felt, for Evvy had cost me the hope of friendship with Betty and Virginia—and the price of this hour of brutal frank ness was my faith in Evvy. I felt the beginning of utter lone liness. (To He Continued) No Congressional Contests Likely No contests for seats in Congress as a result of the last election will be made it is said in Philadelphia. State Republican leaders are against contesting the election in the dis tricts where the vote was close and the defeated candidates are said to be unwilling to personally bear the linancial burden incident to contests. | As a result of this decision thsre will |be seven Democratic Congressmen in the next Congress, a loss of one mem ber, says the Philadelphia Record. For a time the Republicans were" consid ering contesting the results in the Tenth, Eleventh and Sixteenth dis- I tricts.

Carpenter by a very small margin, and in the Six teenth district Congressman John V. Lesher, a Democrat, defeated Albert W. Day by a few hundred votes. Although the Democrats gained two seats in Congress, they lost three, in cluding Congressman Arthur R. Brodbeck, Twentieth district; Con gressman Bruce F.
