"You'd think she was your friend, instead of mine. Don't you suppose if there was anything to worry about I'd be doing the worrying? Betty's all right, but you and I may be in a pretty fix if that check doesn't come before the day's over." "Nonsense, dear. Don't be so ner vous." I began lightly, but Jim's ex pression made me a bit uneasy, and I added: "But I'd like to know why you take it so seriously?" "You would? Well. I'll tell you. I,ast night I sent out a check pay ing off the last instalment of a nasty debt that's been hanging over the Harrison estate for years. It was for a bit over thirty-five hundred— and I think we've as much as seven dollars and a quarter in the bank." "An ugly debt." I repeated thought fully. "An ugly debt. It wasn't a gambling debt, was it. Jim?" Jim's face darkened, and his lips curled back in a sneer as he replied. "Gambling! You'd call a stock deal —or an exchange of parcels of real estate gambling. Well, this wasn't my debt. It was my father's. A hang over from the squeeze by the Real Estate Trust that killed him. And that check isn't going to be held up for lack of funds —the money's got to be there to day." "Wait a minute dear—let's think." I whispered terrified at the depths beyond depths his family history was always revealing. "I have it. You telephone the brokers and asfe if the check is on the way, and say if it isn't, you'll drop in and collect it." "That's a brilliant thought. Throw down my cards right off. Say, Anne, do you think I want those fellows to know I'm broke? I may go in for big deals—and they don't need to know what a shoestring I started on. Think again."

"Always Jeanie!" said Jim fixing me coldly with hostile eyes. "It galls me, though, that she has to take Pat Daltcn'B money without having to bor row any of it to pay over to the Sturges bunch"— "Sturges?" I interrupted. "Sturges?" Not Carlotta Sturges's family?" "Carlotta Sturges's father." replied Jim dryly. "I don't suppose the girl knows that her .father wrecked mine, but just the same I don't want to run across her in my house again." "Does—Jeanie know?" I asked breathlessly. This I felt must be the cause of the estrangement between Virginia and Pat. He had taken sides against her family and with the Sturges crowd and that was why his friendship with Car lotta was such an offense to Virginia. "Jeanie never knew a thihg about it." declared Jim. "The Harrison women aren't given to mixing in business. She was engaged to Pat when the crash came, and he married her and took her abroad to get her out of the mess. And I'm not going to drag her into it now." "Well, it's only 11 now. the check may tome any minute, and the other check probably won't get through the clearing house and up to your bank for days." I said hopefully. But $3,500! A cruel sum. Where could we get it? Why had Jim sent out his check before the sum was in the bank? Jim turned on me with scorn. "A lot you know! The Sturges offices will telephone to my bank to s°e if I've the funds, or if the check is—phony. Help me to find the way, Anne. I've got to have $3,500 In the bank before another hour passes."

Copyright 1919, Star Company. If Arthur Bruce noticed any change in his finnneee's manner dur ing the next few days he made no mention of it. Relations between two persons who see each other constantly cannot long remain at high tension, and as days passed matters with the engaged pair seemed to become normal once more. Indeed, other and more important things than a girl's whims were uppermost in Arthur's mind. The Bruce Contracting Company had been hard hit ty the war. Each week added fresh perils to the busi ness affairs of father, and son. Building was at a standstill. For such work as was. on hand there were not enough skilled laborers, and the prices these few demanded made the hiring of them almost pro hibitive. Fairylands, always an in dustrial center, was now going in for the making of munitions. Me chanics and trained workmen of all kinds—who had hitherto looked with disdian upon the "factory hands" —now found it profitable to desert their legitimate trades and enter the mills. At times it appeared as though the Bruce Contracting Company |nnd its founder must go under In [the storm of changing conditions sweeping across the land. Arthur's father looked twenty years older than before the declara tion of war. All color had left his | cheeks, and in his ashy face his deep eyes looked tired. Yet his son could not prevail upon him to slacken his unavailing efforts. Too late Arnold Bruce was trying to adopt modern methods. The business that he him self had started years ago meant more to the founder than even Ar thur could dream. A long Hard Task Early and late father and son worked—cutting here, skimping there—endeavoring desperately to keep the frail craft afloat and ahead. Months slipped by and Arthur him self grew lean and haggard, but,as he explained to Mildred when he was calling on her one evening, he was! learning the business thoroughly. "You cannot accuse me of being DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS !i 1 Ipi p LADIES' COVER ALL APRON 2357 —Here is a smart and attrac tive apron model in. one-piece style, which closes at the fiont over the sleeve portions.

"This country may have had to declare war be fore I woke up and went to work, but 1 certainly am hard at It now. 1 suppose it's good for me." "I wonder why you don't" be | gan Mildred. Then she stopped I abruptly, but with such a signifi cant expression of countenance that Arthur felt uncomfortable. I "Why I don't what?" he de manded. j "Oh. nothing," she said, then add-, ed with apparent Irrevalence. "Tom Chandler will be here soon. He has a furlough, and is coming home for a few days." "How do you know that?" Arthur asked sharply. "Why," she hesitated, "someone mentioned it to me. Does It matter so much " She did not think it worth while to confess to him that a postcard from her former admirer had brought her the news. "Why, no, of course it doesn't mat ter in a way," Arthur acknowledged. "I did not mean to speak crossly, dear, but I'm tired'and unreasonable to-night—and that Chandler chap always did get my goat. He has the faculty of rubbing me the wrong way, 1 guess.' "He's gone to war, anyway." Mil id red remarked impersonally, "so there is some good in him." Arthur Resents lier Words Arthur's face flushed and he bit his lip. When he spoke he steadied his voice by a visible effort. "Just what do you mean by that remark, Milly?" ,'Oh. Arthur," the girl protested irritably, "don't be so touchy! I only meant that whether you, or I, or anyone else like Tom or not. there must be some good in him or he wouldn't have enlisted as soon as we entered the war. Please don't be on the lookout for a chance to quarrel, dear." She used terms of affection so rarely that her bethrothed was touched when she did. He took her hand now and kissed it. "I didn't mean to be cross," he apologized again. "I am a crab to night, but I have had a hard day and am worried.'" "About that old business," she ac cused. "No, not only that," he corrected, "It's about father. He had an at tack of vertigo in the office this afternoon. He has had several of these latelp, and he's not at all well."

I judged him to be a young man of very fine character. He called on mo shortly after and we spent a very pleasant evening. However, when he asked me to kiss him good-night. 1 refused rather strenuously, and he left very angry. It Is now quite a long time since that evening, and although he has called me up a num ber of times, lie never asks to sec me. I think a great deal of this young man, and would like to gain his Women in Business Woman's power in America is well illustrated by the thousands of ' women who entered almost every I line of business to replace men who were drafted during the war. Health proved their strongest asset. Many women, however, developed weak, nervous conditions and eouldj not stand the strain of a business life.

Now that you and your acquaint ance understand each other on the subject of kissing: I see no reason why you should not take the initia tive, if you wish to see him again.

There are certain times during youth when the skin is inclined to break out, become pimply, red and rough. Such blemishes are usually noticed during the change from boyhood to manhood, from girlhood to woman hood. Great care should be taken lest this condition become chronic. The continued use of Resinol Oint ment and Resinol Soap during lueh times seldom fail to reduce the in flamed spots, thus rendering the afflio tiorl less conspicuous. At all druggists. 9
