"You could march with them, you know, Jim. You've done —your share," cried Neal abruptly. Jim's face changed. The glimpse I had if it showed warmth and kind ness—then it was hidden from me, for he rose, shaking off little Phoebe's ; encircling arms as if unconscious of j thorn, and limped over to the window, j Below, on the street, the band was playing the "Marseillaise." Jim stood ' drawn to attention. 1 wondered if! he was proud because of Nell's re minder that he had been part of the great struggle or sad because he could never again share in it. Then suddenly I knew the answer to my own question. The tragedy lay In this: lie had done his share—and it was j over. Had he not said to me once ; in a long-ago moment of bitterness, j "I'm finished—done"?. 1 crossed the room and laid my ; hand on his shoulder—lightly, so that ' he need give no sign of knowing it | was there in case even my touch was I an intrusion. But Jim lifted his hand and laid it [ across mine. For a moment we shared 1 life to the uttermost. His lameness and all that it meant were ours— ours to meet together—no merely his. Then Jim spoke but not to me: "Phoebe, I came across a topaz chain of mother's the other day. I'd i like you to have it. I'll get it for i you now." As he limped into the bedroom I | blessed that bit of Jewelry of which 1 hadn't even heard before—blessed It because it gave my bay what he so needed—the chance to be alone. Phoebe's voice floated after him in tones of great delight: "Mother's chain! I'll love it. Jim mie—how good you and Anne are to. let me have it!" And while I was thinking what a j dear child she was to credit me with I having a part in the gift, the tele phone rang. "Hello—is this Mr. James Harrison's apartment?." came the query. Evvy's voice! Of course she must ! know mine too. But of that she gave j no sign, asking merely to speak to I Mr. Hyland. Oh, how I longed to say: I "He's not in." But I couldn't bring | myself to lie, and saying instead that , I would call him. I turned to sum- I moil Neal. At the little scene that I greeted me my hand fairly flew to I cover the transmitter and shut out Evelyn Mason. Neal was sitting on the couch, his head hunched down between his I shoulders. He looked old and spent! and not a boy of twenty-two. | Phoebe's glance swung back from the 1 door through which Jim had gone, and ! turned to Neal.

Such a. tiny, timid, whispered, half reluctant word —that "dear"—but X pressed my hand tighter against the telephone transmitter till the hard rubber circle bruised and hurt. I couldn't fasten my eyes on the tele phone, though—l confess that. I had 1 j to watch Neal. | Then Neal leaped to his feet, as if i Phoebe's touch—her words—somehow l hud the power to renew him. He i caught botli iter hands in his and drew them against him. They stood there Jike two children—almost frightened at what they have done. Then Neal murmured—and I felt my own heart throb at the passion in his voice: "Oh, little Phoebe—you, you— won der! You'd stand by a fellow—no matter how far he was down —X know I you would!" I Then his eyes lifted and met mine. | The softness went out of them and a I challenging defiance took its place. ) I wondered how much this really I meant to Neal. I could see that : Phoebe was vibrating in response to | his every tone. Perhaps her sincerity i —at once timid and fearless —would I call out something more in Neal than a boy's attraction to the sweet, warm youth of her. I didn't want Evvy to have a clianco at my brother—a ■ chance at Phoebe's happiness: but she was waiting at the other end of the telephone wire—and I must call Neal. I had to moisten my lips before I could say: | "You're wanted at the phone, Neal." j Neal started, his eyes hardened a ! bit more, and his hands closed l tighter for a second about Phoebe's. 1 turned my back us I put the re ceiver on the top of the telephone, box. Then I crossed to the win dows. Phoebe might have a min ute to readjust herself. Neat's voice spoke into the tele phone as calmly and as evenly as If I had only dreamed that he had | been holding a trembling little girl , close to him a moment before. ! "Yes—yes, this is Mr. Hyland. | Oh, Yes it's Neal. Yes—Yes, account on me. You sure can. All right, 1 : I will. Good-by." j The long gaps between his noncom i mittal words were piquing. I won | dered what Evvy had been asking of j him. His acceptance made me doubt ! again his sincerity to Phoebe. But , just as Neal was putting up the te -1 eeiver and before a word could be J said, Jim came bark with the string of gold brown topaz set in leaves of j wrought silver. I "Oh, Jim!" cried Phoebe in jov that las almost breathless. "That 'lovely ! necklace for mo! And it was mother's. ■ Will you put it on mo. dear?" | She lifted her slim white throat and i as Jim held the wonderful old chain , against it. Neal caught mv hand In . a grip that hurt. Phoebe snuggled up I to Jim. and I think a tear or two ; dampened his coat before she drew t herself away and started to make a dash for the mirror, which Jim stop ped by holding her close. "Not so fast, kiddle,"- lie cried, de lighted at the success of his gift. "The clasp doesn't fasten—it must be fixed —so I've been holding your jewels around your lily-white throat. Now I'll put the necklace back in its case and transport it and you home. You're too excited to be trusted out without a guardian." Neal's e>cs sought mine—and then i caught themselves away. He started . toward Jim as if he were going to say something, but Jim turned to him sud denly. and Neal. biting his lips, al most slunk across the room, and put- t ting the table Xietween him and the', door, stood balancing on liis heels un easily—hut with an effort to seem en- P tirely at ease. It Phoebe stood a moment in troubled 1 silence—then she came to me for her L good-night kiss. As her lips trembled against mine, j • I felt that they asked a question. I] 1 could guess what the question was— i ( but I didn't know the answer.

LITTLE TALKS BY BE A TRICE FAIRFAX I A mother wha has an allection ' ate relationship with her son is doomed to suffer, sooner or later. The day when he falls in love is sure to mean misery for her, even though the son should remain as constant as possible to herself and the girl he loved were a seraph with glistening wings. There's no escaping the wrench! that this brings. It's more inevi- ] table than the pangs of birth, or | than those of death, even. But what does remain within the j control of mothers is their way of j meeting this experience. And the j mother who loves her son in the right way isn't going to let jeal-j ousy get the better of her at this j critical point in their lives. She j may believe that she's submitting j to being displaced but she's bent on doing it with grace and sportsman ship. The hardest thing mothers have | to realize, and the thing some moth ers never realize at an, is mat their son's relations with girls or young women don't properly concern them. If they have conscientiously dis-! charged every duty of motherhood up to the time when a youtn can reasonably think of himself as a lover, there is absolutely nothing else they can do except withdraw from the stage and watch for the appearance of the starry young creature who is going to play lead ing role in that next act. A mother may enjoy persuading herself that her son needs her ad vice and aid in choosing a girl to fall in love with. But she is mak ing a very serious mistake if she acts on this idea. Mother's Candidate. She may attempt positive influ- j enee, which takes the form o.f in- j viting the colorless daughter ofl well-connected friends to visit at i the house. And the son may set: his teeth and make himself agree-! able to the unmagnetic young lady for a week at a time. But he isn't j likely to fall into the marriage trap so unbeguiingly baited, and he j is likely to feel some resentment j toward his mother for her oflicious ness. Other mothers, with a talent for intrigue, try negative influence. That is, they make a point of de feating every love-project that they know their sons to entertain. After export working in the dark to dis cover where the young man's in terest tends, thvy unscrupulously devise schemes either to separate the man and the girl, or cause a dis agreement between them. There are mothers who seem ut terly without conscience, from the extent to which they meddle in their son's love-affairs. Their defense would be that thfy love their sons too much to see them get entangled with the wrong girl, and that it's a great deal kinder and more benevo lent to do one's meddling secretly than openly.- And so skillful are these mater nal schemers, and so confiding are their sons that'—l say It with some regret—they almost never get found out. Love .Must He I rco. If a son isn't able iO choose his j own beloved wisely, I can't see that! his mother can help the situation j any. He's grown up. lie's the j product of her training.

But there are mothers who do ; keep their hands off, highly well i behaved mothers who seem to be I thoroughly regardful of their son's j independence up to the time when ! the love affair crystalizes and the I engagement is made known. But ! who can't seem to restrain them selves front emotionally flying to pieces then. There seems to be some obscure 1 natural law that leads a son, even ; a devotedly attached son, always to j choose a beloved of a totally dif | ferent type from his mother. This j in itself seents a kind of affront to j the stricken parent. If her son had j realy loved her wouldn't he have wished to marry a girl as nearly as possible his mother's duplicate? Then it's an extremely pleasant J thing to be the person loved best in | all the world by an adorable youth [of twenty. To be the person al jways considered first, consulted i earliest, regarded most tenderly. A I woman couldn't be human and at 'the same time be glad and willing to give up all these precious priv ileges, and forever, to a strhnge girl whom she probably suspects of | being unworthy of them. Xo Bride "Good Enough." It goe3 without saying that no girl in the world is "good enough" to deserve to marry an idolized son. But this is a fact it won't ever do to comment on. The important thing to remember I ]is that the self-respecting way for a mother to act when the critical moment comes is also the only way that will prevent a permanent alienation between mother and son. | At any possible cost to yourself, i keep your jealousy out of sight, I Keep your wounds, and your tears land your hostility out of sight. And I if your son finds that you are Just J as friendly and warm-hearted, and j | dependable as you used to be In the j days when he brought playmates j home from school, this will be such I : a comfort to him that he will love j | you more than ever. Even the bride herself will meet! , a dangerous rival in the mother who j can face her son's beloved without flinching. A son longs to be proud of his mother, and he will be, if she meets this supremely difficult test. It's not the easiest thing in the world to be a mother, at any stage, from the cradle to the football field. I But the hardest time of all comes when you must sit smiling, with hands tied, and watch your grown up child make his choice between happiness and what you believe to bo destruction. But don't try to break loose and ; guide him. You will regert it all the rest of your life.

It seems his friends have i constantly been warning him that a I union between us would end disast-' j rously, as blondes always prove tickle. Although I have never in word or I deed deceived my friend, I am afraid | he will finally he influenced by his | friends. Mow, Miss Fairfax, is there i.anything I can do or nay which will convince him that all blondes are not deceitful and tickle?. JESSIE. Is It possible that this young man's eiitiro acquaintance is brunette with the exception of yourself? And is there no blonde among the members of his own family? He doubtless al ready places deep confidence in one ! or more blondes and there should be no difficulty in leuding him to see how absurd tills blonde-and-brunette di vision of hutnan beings is. But there is another aspect of your problem. Can you yourself trust a nnn who is so easily influenced by his friends? If he has known you for two years and has found you respon sible and sympathetic always, what further proof can you be expected to supply that tiie prejudice against blondes is ridiculous? ANIMALS AND LIGHT It is well known that many ani nals are very sensitive to different '.agrees of illumination—some seek ing more light and other less. Many larvae hatched on the floor of the sea make for the light, which is the best thing they can do for nutritive und other reasons. Still more frequent is the case of animals which show marked light sensitiveness only when some un usual conditions have intervened, such as perturbations in the water or t foulness of water. I They retreat in the direction of the ! light conditions they are accustomed •-to. They make for stronger or weaker light, as the case may be, and the degree of illumination linp a di recting influence In a sense. But It is not the degree of illumination in itself that is significant; It is the avoidance of concomitant unpropltious condi tions. v 0 MAKING THE MOST OF cn ' OUR CHILDREN U , I ! A Series of Plain Talks to , ; Parents * ! V 'fWB; Ray C Beery, A.8., M.A.\4*.* J '■ j/ President of the Parents Association. X , (Copyrighted, 1918, by The Parents Association. Inc.) Prevention of a habit is better t than a cure. And after a tendency i once becomes a liabit, the sooner an 1 attempt is made to break it, the bet ter. But very often parents ask for methods to help their children who are well up in their teens. For example, one mother writes to me: "Our daughter is now eighteen years old and is extremely self-con scious. Can you give me any help ful suggestions at this late date?" Apart from the ordinary causes of ' self-consciousness, we have in this casp the habit already develop ed which might bo considered the primary cause of embarrassment in any particular situation. But at the same time certain other causes play their part. For example, to talk | about the peculiarity, unless in an exceedingly tactful way, would make matters worse. To eat a heavy meal or especially to eat meat or. take any quantity of warm tea or J coffee at or before .a formal gather- : ing of any sort might cause the girl's i face to beoomo flushed, and this 1 would tend to make her still more i | embassasscd. To pay attention to your daughter for any reason would ; tend to embarrass her. To have j unfamiliar guests before her, with- j out others familiar to her who can j carry on the conversation, would be j an unpleasant experience for her. I Sometimes a girl of this age feels j that her apparel is not. standard in some particular and this causes em- j barraasment. Often-timed a girl I I feels self-conscious because she can I I not think of anything interesting to j | suy to bear her share in the con- j | versation. She hears someone else j tell an interesting story and she | I feels that she would get along all j | right, too, if only she had as much | ( j experience as the other girl and i | knew so many stories. Girls often are not given enough opportunity to | _ luinglc in company with the result J that, when they do have an oppor- ! tunity, they do not feel so much at | ease as those who are in company j more. The thing for you to do is to study each of these possible causes | r ; and see to it that each is removed j s ip so far as it is possible. It is not enough that your daugh- ! . ter be given opportunity to practice | g being in company; the experience must be pleasant. If an experience In company seems very unpleasant, it is possible that the next experi- a ence will be harder instead of eas- icr. c It would he a good Idea if your daughter could enter some new ac- a tivity of some sort —something that t would bo absolutely interesting so i —— (I Daily Dot Puzzle ,3. 14# .11 - _ '.*• a* # IO _ •' • 7 . ° 8 ' 6 8 ys. -••a-"" ; r;s>v -—3s° 4o * fi | --I -\ -•. \ | •* = * fc* 4 I*' . *32 r —< X, Draw from one to two and so on to the end that her mind would lie occupied in a wholesome way and so that she would have .something to say about the things which interest her when she is In company. Perhaps a gym nasium class if you have one in your town. It would be an excellent idea to put her Into a mixed class under a good director. This semi-formal activity with other girls and boys would help your daughter a groat j deal in overcoming her habit of self- | consciousness. If she enters some new activity she should lie on tlie | lookout for interesting experiences which she can relate. Encourage her in relating these experiences with enthusiasm. I have on record one interesting case of a girl of eighteen years who was so extremely shy that when her father requested her to go to the door when company came, she would open the door clear back al most against the wall, leaving her self hiding behind It. This was an extreme case, but it was entirely cured. Just after the girl grad uated from high school, her father allowed her to go on a visit in an other state. She was put on her own resources. Whenever a young man invited her to go somewhere, she could not say, "Wait till I ask father." She had to say. 'Yes" or "No" for herself. She told me she never laughed so much in her life as she did during those two or three weeks and when she came back home, she felt like a different per son. Her health was improved, she had acquired the liabit of laughing, of having a jolly time of talking en thusiastically. She felt more inde pendent, and in reporting her case to me, she staffed that she had not been troubled with self-conscious ness since. (Copyrighted, 1918, The Parents Association.
