"Anne, dear, I snatched the 'phone from Vee because I wanted to hear from the bride herself, how our Jlm imie is getting on," said Betty in her clear vibrating voice. But even while I was assuring lier that Jim was almost as well as he thought himself, my lips were trembling with the hurt of Virgin ia's snub and the clever twist Betty had given to facts in order to save me from being hurt. "You'll come to see Jim to-mor row, won't you, Betty?" I asked hopefully, "I'd like a chat with you, myself." "Maybe I'll run in and take you out for a breath of air while Vlr * ginia is visiting with Jim," suggest ed Betty. Then we said good-by, and I set my face into a smile before I turned to face my boy. But there wasn't a smile in my heart—for in the very way Betty was standing between Virginia and me, I recognized the intimacy and understanding between them. "Which shall we move, Jim—your throne or tho table?" I asked in a voice I hoped was light and casual, "Neal and I will give Jimmle a ride," laughed Phoebe, answering for him. "Say, Anne, you're lucky that you didn't get to speak with Vee. , My,' wasn't she peeved because I didn't phone home the tidings that I You 9 re on the Right Road to thrift and economy if you decide to gel your Winter outfit here on our Pay A You Earn Plan.

Vee i acts as if I were an infant." "Darling 'infant,'" murmured Neal as he managed to lay his loft hand very close to Phoebe's right for their Joint taks of swinging Jim's couch alongside the table. Phoebe hung her head for a mo ment, but that didn't hide the swirl of pink that rode triumphantly from the tip of her little pointed chid right up to the shadows of her long eyelashes. Then she flashed out with an idea she considered so daring that it left her almost breathless: "Neal, let's do every smidgin of the work. We'll wait on Anne and I Jimmie and play we're the butler and maid. Want to?" "I want to do everything you want," declared Neal softly—so soft ly that again his words escaped Jim, who seemed wrapped in thoughts of his own. I entered into the spirit of their play, and dressed Phoebe up in my best ruflled sewing apron, with a tiny twist of lace and black velvet for a cap to crown the soft flufllness of her hair. Then I devoted myself to my boy, who had to be coaxed to cat even his delicious little steak and mealy, baked potato. He seemed sunk in gloom and when I nestled against him on the couch his response was perfunctory—absent-minded. Suddenly, when our "maid" and "butler" had gone to fetch in the sweets, Jim turned to me with an ex pression of what was in his heart: "Oh, little sweetheart—if only I really could give you servants to wait on you. It's wonderful to see you sit quiet and actually enjoy your dinner. And to think I'm down-and out—haven't even a Job!" "Jim, darling—please, please! For my sake don't think about a thing in the world but getting well. Next week we'll do the third Haldane ar ticle, and that's another hundred dollars to add to our fat bank bal ance " "It is fat," mused Jim, "thanks to my haul at the automobile race the other day. A few winnings like that and I wouldn't have to eat my heart out because I can't find work." And on that terrifying reminder of his betting and of his Joy in the gambling for stakes, the phone sounded once more. "SYRUP OF FIGS" CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue!

Unsteadily I made my way to the kitchenette, so intent on my own thoughts that until I was full upon them. I didn't perceive Neal and Phoebe. Then I stopped in fear, for the sweet trusting youth of little Phoebe as a Hashing memory came back to me of the day when Neal and Evvy had come out of the kitchen—her hair llllng and on his face the same look of smiling tri umph it wore now. Neal was lean ing back against the icechest, and close in his arms with her head tilt ed up and her lips softly parted for I.ls kiss stood Phoebe. They didn't see me—and as part of the merci ful deception I was to practice all that evening, I slipped behind the screening door and called: "Neal—wanted at the phone." Then—with masterly east at the game of evasion—east that made me tremble anew for Phoebe —Neal be gan doing his part in the play Terry had outlined to us. As he approach ed the point where it was his cue to say that the Job was too big for him, but that maybe with coaching on the accountant and bookkeeping end of it, Jim would help out at least till they could get another man, I was hard put to it to keep my teeth from chattering—Neal did it all so well—with such Joy in his play-acting. His concluding words rang out nonchalantly: "It's like—this, Captain Winston. I'm darn proud you thought of me, and I'd be a bit prouder yet if I were capable of handling a job like that of your friend. Now, I can't speak for Jim, but I'll bank on him to help you out if there's any way he can see to do it. Let me talk to him, and in half an hour I'll call you— with good news, I hope." Then he turned from the phone, but before he could say. one syllable my Jim did precisely what Terry had counted on his loyalty to prompt. "Say, lad, is there actually some thing I can do for Terry? Call him back at once and say I'm on," There was no question as to what was required, no thought of pay; but at the mere suggestion that he might be able to help his friend my generous sick boy fell neatly into the trap Terry's affection and un derstanding had set for him. , To lie Continued PLEA TO AVOID STRIKE .

WOMAN SPEAKS : ONSUSQUEHANNA P 5 Student of Conditions Along 1 Stream Enthusiastic in Sup -3 port of Navigation Idea Wmm > A' * MRS. CLARA WALLER Columbia, Pa., Dec. 7.—Mrs. Clara . Waller, of Marietta, who recently de livered an address before a public 1 meeting of the Merchants and Manu ; facturers' Association, and the Wom ; an's Club, of Columbia, enjoys the | distinction of being the tirst woman . to publicly espouse the cause of Sus , queliunna river navigation and pre . sent the subject before a public au dience. Mrs. Waller has spent some years in the study of the navigation prob lem as it relates to the Susquehanna , river and in her investigations has ; reached the conclusion that the proposition is not visionary nor im ; practicable. She has visited several I towns along the river and endeavor- I ed to interest the citizens in the pro- | ject, and now rejoices in the fact; that her efforts are being recognized. I She is thoroughly conversant with the Susquehanna river and the many | obstructions that are met with in I pursuing the subject, but having be come thoroughly convinced that the scheme is not merely a dream, she has kept up the agitation in the face of ridicule and opposition from dif ferent sources. | Now that the proposition has been : revived, Mrs. Waller is discussing and urging the subject before pub lic assemblies. Her address at Co j lumbia awakened considerable inter est among some of the leading busi nessmen and plans are being made for a mass meeting in the future, when Mrs. Waller will be among the speakers to advance the project. At this meeting there will be rep resentative# from neighboring cities and Harrisl urg has promised to send a big delegation. Congressman J. Hampton Moore, president of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association, has signined his to be present at this ■ meeting and will be one of the j speakers. Advice to the Lovelorn AN UNHAPPY UIKL-YVIFB DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 19 and married and have a child. But 1 am not happy as others I ure. Since the day 1 married life has gone wrong with me. My hus band never takes me out, and he hard ly ever works, and I am tired of him. What made me marry young was that !my parents insisted. Everybody says I I'm nice and 1 could have a good chance in life yet. Please advise me what to do. A CONSTANT READER. You are very young, my poor child, to be facing these problems and re sponsibilities. There should certaln | ly be a limit of endurance in a wife's dealings with her husband, but I urge you not to be hasty in assuming that yours cannot mend his ways. Since you cannot at present depend on him for companionship, why not try to build up a life of your own? Reach nut for many friends and as many interests as possible. Perhaps this will make your husband more eager ]to gain your respect and he will therefore change his course. IS THIS MOTH EH TOO STRICTf DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 17 and I sec a young man two nights a week. He has asked me to go to a play with him and my mother objects. On Sunday nights I go to the movies with him and do not reach home until a quarter of 11. On other evenings that I go out with him I get back by 9:30 or 10. But my mother expects me, even when I go to the movies, to be back by 10 o'clock. Please tell me, is my mother too strict with me? T work—if that makes any difference. WAITING. No. I do not think your mother is too strict. She might even be consid-i ered indulgent, considering your age. 1 For 17 is very young, indeed, even though your working outside your home doubtless makes you feel grown up. At your age a girl still needs regular hours and plenty of sleep. ! THE HEART BREAKER L A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY , By VIRGINIA TEHHUNE VAN DE WATER CHAPTER XI "Won't you come in?" Honora said as she and Arthur Bruce reach ed her gate. "I'd like to," Arthur replied. "Do you know," with a wistful look, "that you have helped me a lot? When I met you I was as blue as Indigo. Now things look a lot brighter. You are quite a wonder as a cheerer Honora?" "Won't you come in?" she repeat ed. "I would be very glad to have you do so." His expression changed. "Others might not be," he remarked. The girl seemed not to understand. "Mrs. Higgins is always glad to see you, and nobody else is here. You know Mrs. Higgins considers you an extremely nice young man," she added, teasingly, with a light laugh. "Perhaps she does," he smiled, "but I fancy she has found me a bit of a nuisance at times. But if you say not, I withdraw my statement." Honora knew he had been think ing of Mildred, and of her only, but she pretended to believe that Mrs. Higgins had been the person he had had in mind. "Since 1 have set your fears at rest on that score, come on Into the house," she suggested once more, opening the gate. He started to follow her, when the sound of an automobile rapidly up the street ntade the pair pause and turn around. "It's Mr. Hilton's car," Honora remarked. "Can he be bringing Milly home? But no—at least that it not his chaffeur with her on the 1 front seat." "Whoever he is, he drives like the • devil!" Arthur observed. With a sud den grinding of brakes, the car drew up sharply at the curb. The • driver sprang out, then held opt > his hand to Mildred. i "I don't know who he is," Honora ■ remarked sotto voice. She was not long to remain in ig . norance. Her sister hurried for ward, bringing the young man with i her. "Honora," her manner excited , and her eyes shining, "I want you ,|to know Mr. Hilton. He's Mr. John , Hilton's nephew, you know. He's , going to Canada in a day or two to enlist." Honora bowed, repeated the stranger's name as she shook hands with him, then, turning to Arthur, ' I said: A Giggling Girl "Mr. Hilton, allow me to Intro duce our triend, Mr. Bruce. "Glad to meet you, Mr. Bruce," young Hilton said, genially. "I have just been giving myself tho pleasure. Miss Brent, of bringing your sister home. 1 dropped into my uncle's office and found he was not ready to leave Just yet—so I swiped his car." "But you asked his permission first —you know you did," Mildred amended with a giggle. Arthur regarded her gravely. Her face was flushed and her whole bearing was that of one in a twit ter of excitement or elation. Some girls and women change their manner as soon as an attract ive man appears on the horizon. Mildred was one of these. Arthur | Bruce had not noticed this tendency until now—because he had always been the lucky man for whom her manner changed. Now that it was for another man, he resented it. Indeed, Mildred Brent had never been so much thrilled by any one's attentions as by those of this embryo soldier. As she met Bruce's clear gaze she flushed self-con sciously. "You remember, Arthur, that I mentioned Mr. Hilton as the man who is going to do something worth while?" "Yes, I remember," Arthur an swered. Then he held out his hand to Honora. "Good afternoon," he said.

She did not remind him that he had started to come into the house, and did not detain him when, after ' saying good-by to Mildred and her companion, he went out of the gate, t "Can't 1 give you a lift if I am going your way?" Hilton called after him. A Compliment "Thanks, no," Arthur replied. "I really need the walk. "When do you start for Canada?" Honora inquired of young Hilton, as he strolled up the front path to the house with her and Mildred. "To-morrow, probably," he said. "I meant to leave before this —but I was detained. "I am glad you didn't," Mildred declared, looking up at* him admir ingly. "For if you had, I would not have had that spin uptown with you. You are a wonderful driver." "I am a fust driver," he acknowl edged. "If 1 am doing anything, I do not waste any time about it. It's a way I have about every thing." He gazed down meaningly into I her eyes. "I wish," he murmured, "that I could spend even three days t more In Fairlands." j The girl dimpled with pleasure. , There was no mistaking the mean ing he wished his words to convey. [ "But you can write to Fairlands, , can't you?" she challenged. ! '1 can—and will," he replied with a bow. Thanks for the blissful suggestion." When he had gone and the sisters ! entered the house together, Mildred [ spoke impulsively. "Isn't he a genuine man of the , world? Can't you see what a dif ference there is between him and I Arthur?" "Yes," Honora agreed, promptly, ' "I see a great difference between them." "He's lots of fun to flirt with," Mildred said, with a reminiscent sigh. "I wish there were more men like that. Life would be much more interesting."
