Of course X didn't discuss Phoebe and Neal with V'al Cosby. * It was such a strange, delicate! situation that I hardly dared let my-! self think about it, much less talkl it over with anyone. Jim made it j evident tlfht he didn't want to go j into the matter. 1 couldn't go io i Phoebe and say anything like this: I "Now Jim has driven Evvy inioj throwing Neal over, lie's free again.l If he wants t6 come to you 1 sup-j pose you'll take him back." Vet, | what could 1 say? No matter how delicately I hand- j led the situation, no matter howl gently I approached it, anything J j ventured to Phoebe would amount to I just this declaration. I couldn't go 1 near Phoebe. And when it came to! Neal, for once in my life I simply j couldn't bring myself to go to my j brother and offer advice or comfort: unless he asked for it. 1 couldn't in- ' trude. Yet I didn't see how they were j going to find each other again un- j less they were helped. Could proud young Neal go to Phoebe and ask her to take back Evelyn Mason's re-i jected suitor. Would Phoebe make i one little gesture to encourage NealV 1 I thought in circles for a day or two. And then 1 decided to go for j help to the kindest, sanest person 1 1 could reach—Anthony Norreys.' If Betty had been in town she would have helped me. Failing Betty, Tony! was the one person I could turn to. So I telephoned him and asked him j to stop in for a cup of tea in the late , afternoon. 1 ' It wasn't until he actual.v aJVived!, A perfect leaven er for any flour— jPy pocw it costs no more ifiP'lilTjlJ ■' than the low grade powders JTpoWDS? and is the best^l^^f^ at any price.

I couldn't I ask Tony's advice, after all. His friendship I was entitled to, because jit was mine whether or not I did j i anything about it. And however he i | resented Tony, I felt Jim was begin-1 i ning to understand that. But 11 j couldn't ask his advice about Jim's] llitt'e sister. 1 spoke up honestly—l j if ruefully. [ "Tony I've dragged you in from ! I the country cn a wild goose chase. | | I wanted to ask your aid in a mat- j I tor that needs—straightening out. 1 | But I find I can't." | 'Can't straighten it out? You can't' I ask my help?" a'-lced Tony, his ten-1 der smile warming those ice-blue | eyes of bis. ! "Can't do either," I confessed,! i more and more rnefuly. j" 'And little fairy godmother Anno! loves—fixing things," said Tony in a j non-committal tone. It occurred to me suddenly that I any other man would have protested! jthat 1 hadn't dragged him to town I j on a wild goose chase, but that just I seeing me was reason enough for the | 'trip. And I was thinking how much j 1 liked Tony for never even dream-j" i ing of saying it. when he startled me j j by his next words: j "Anne, since this is a matter you I [can't discuss with a chump like me, | i perhaps it is a matter you have no , right to touch. Sometimes even lov- | ing interference stops a kettle from] boiling or a rose from blooming." i "What have yon guessed, you wiz ard?" I demanded. "Guessed, little Kind-heart, that [.you may be agitating yourself over! something that will come right if you just leave it to me —to good Old Dame Nature." "Meaning, 'Anne, don't butt in on , other people's business, as you're al-i together too fond of doing'! Of | course, you put it very sweetly, Tony. But it comes to that," 1 said, some-j what piqued. Tony's wonderful deep voice j soothed me, though again he didn't protest nor deny. "Words are colorful things, Anne. I The wrong ones are curt. The right: C ones gentle. You are a Kindlieart. j If 1t hadn't been for you, probably > y wouldn't bave bis Betty to- ! day. Sometimes 1 think you're going] to help Virginia find happiness, again. But don't wear yourself out I over other people's problems. Nor over your own—if you have 'cm. I Remember old Tony will always be| happy and proud if you give him .a chance to stand by you. Your friend ship Is a wonderful gift. I'm an eld i ( hulk. Anne, but I feel as if there j ( were garlands over the broken tint- ] hers when I think I mean something ] to a beautiful soul—like you." ( "Oh, Tony!" I cried, more deeply j touched than I dared to show. "Your friendsip is a real gift. I'll always ] cherish It." r Tony laid his left hand over mine t for hn'f a second. Then he rose. Anil I noticed that though his lips i smiled his eyes were sad. 1 "That's the best life can give me. Anne." he said quietly. "Your friend ship," After a moment he added. "Your friendsip—Betty's, Terry's, j Virginia's. Just to think of you—! all —pulls mo out of the slough of' j despond whenever I tumble in." j "Are you ever sad. Tony?" I asked I in astonishment. "Dot me help you I when you tire, as I know you help j mo." "I'll help you whenever yon ask. ! Anne." said Tony in a voice that ft knew was n vow, and then he added I strangely, "You do help me when I'm j sad. Be sure of that. Perhaps you' may be helping the people you j" longed to aid to-day—helping them hy your loving thoughts and do- " sires." 1° "On the very words, and before l| s "oii'd puzzle over Tony's utter sol- s omnity. 1 heard Bertha opening the front door in answer to a ring of a - moment oi- so before.

At least, the number of users of narcotics brought to the attention I of public authorities within tlie ' past several weeks is not in excess ' of the number in the same limelight j before July 1. If anything, the num ber has been "Smaller in July than | i before, but authorities are not in- i I clined to believe that prohibition has j | had anything to do with this fact. I It wus pointed out during the agi- i i tation for prohibition and especially J I before the wartime prohibition meas ! ure became effective, that the cur- j tailmcnt in the supply of alcoholic i beverages would increase the con- j sumption of narcotics of various kinds. I The old drinker, and even others, i would be compelled to have their stimulant; when they found they could not secure their whisky, they ] would turn to "dope," it was said, i While some have been aule to se ' cure their supplies of liquid refresh ment, there are others who have not been able to do so, but it is not believed here that they have turned : in any degree to narcotics for stim • ulants. At least, none have come to ; the attention of public authorities, according to reports to-day. There has been absolutely no in dication of any increase in con sumption of narcotics as a result of prohibition, officials stated at the Harrisburg Hospital. Neither has any increase in dope complaints been noticed by the po lice, Chief Wetzel says, j At the Dauphin county jail it was I said that fewer "dope" users arc being brought in than before. Pro ! hibition has not, however, account jed for the decrease, the official said. He added that all addicts | brought in recently had been there j before.
