"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.

didn't phone home the tidings that

SATOTTDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7,1918. l"
I was staying here for dinner! 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.

I answered and turned with
thumping heart to Jim:
"It's for Neal—l'll go call him."
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. ,

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.

L A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY

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. "I

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."
