"Phoebe-Neal!" I cried and again
Just that: "Phoebe-Neal!"
Then I rushed across the room
fairly babbling my joy even while
the unwelcome, unbidden tears
surged up to my eyes. A second
later they were tangled up in my
arms together.
Together! Together that was
the glorious, wonderful, unbeliev
able thin come true under my
Aappy eyes.
However much he wanted to
eliminate himself. Tony couldn t
escape, for we blocked the door
wav. After a minute Neal reco\-
ered his poise and detaching hu "-
self crossed the room to Tony, who
stood a lonely figure, but smiling
his blessing.
"Norreys, old man," cried slangj
young Neal, rather poetically, "give
me a welcome home. I've been on
a long journey, but I've come home.
"Welcome home, young chap,
from wars and camps and journej
ings," replied Tony with an alto- (
gether satisfactory twinkle in his
C> He gave Neal a fine rousing
thump on the back, and then came
to Phoebe and me.
"I—about to depart—salute you
little Miss Phoebe," he said with
kindly understanding. 'I ve seen
nothing at all of you since the
good old days when we were gio.tt
chums, and the little girl usei * *
kiss 'Uncle Tony' good night at nine
—wasn't it? A very protesting and
protested against nine, too.
"I'll kiss you again. cried
Phoebe. "Dear, dear Uncle Tony,
what a dear you are to forget the
day you came to lunch and read us
Betty's letter about happiness, and
I broke down and ran away like a
jealous little fool."
Her eyes sought Neal s as she
spoke. And there was enough hap
piness there to make up for a mill
ion other unhappy times. (
"Dear me, I am getting old,
laughed Tony. "I had forgotten.
But I haven't forgotten something
that was just said about your kiss
ing me." .
Then, stooping, he laid his left
hand lightly on Phoebe's hair and
laid his lips very gently to her fore
head. But Phoebe rose on tiptoe
and flung her arms around Tony—
and she kissed him on each' cheek,
on forehead and then on his lips.
Very lightly, like flower petals, her
lips touched him.
"A four-leaf clover, Uncle Tony,
for happiness and luck."
Tony, without a farewell glance,
murmured his good-by and hurried
away.
"A prince of good fellows. The
salt of the earth," said Neal, and
added mischievously, "What do you
say to our having him for one of
the ushers at the great even, little
lady?"
Phoebe blushed and buried her
face against my shoulder. And
though I was aching with curiosity
as to how all this had come to pass,
I just held out a hand to each and
asked never a question beyond.
"Any one care for tea?"
Neal threw back his head and
shouted. After a moment Phoebe
joined him, and, exchanging a
glance, they seemed to consent mu
tually so something I didn't under
stand, and falling upon me. they
dragged me down on the couch be
tween them. Then:
"Tell her, Neal!" commanded
Phoebe.
"All right," said Neal, eagerly.
But, pulling himself up short, he
corrected himself gallantly. 'No,
you, dear."
"I'd rather it was you," said
Phoebe, shyly, and slipped down yito
the nest my left arm made for her.
old lady, I suppose you
wonder how it happened?" queried
Neal and, without waiting the af
firmative nod of my head to en
courage him, he went right on and
told me.
"I've been moping around the of
fice for a couple of days that seemed
like a couple of years. Wondering
and wondering all the time how 1
could find out if Phoebe still cared.
And breaking a brain cell to figure
out how I'd ever scrape up the nerve
to tell her I'd never stopped caring
—even when I hadn't any right to.
Gee whillikens! It was fierce!
"Then this morning when I get
to the office, there sits Pat Dalton
at my desk. And he hits out from
the shoulder. Man-talk. Once or
twice I got pretty hot under the
collar. Once or twice I felt pretty
cheap. .And more than once or
twice I was about ready to kick
my senior partner out of the place.
THE CALL OF HUNGER
is answered by Nature with abundance
of food-but be sure you eat the food
that Nature intended for human beinds.
The whole wheat is kind of all fooas.
Shredded Wheat Biscuit is the whole
wheat,nothing wasted,nothing thrown away
-the most real food for the least money.
Two or three of these crisp, brown little
loaves of baked wheat with sliced bananas;
sliced peaches, or other fruits, make a
, nourishing meal at a cost of
d few cents. Ready-cooked. Ready-to -eat
THURSDAY EVENING,
But at the finish I got pretty' darn
sorry for him. And when he left I
sat mulling over the last thing
said. This is what it was:
" 'Neal, young fellow, my lad, I've
made a tine botch of my life. And
I've done little enough to make the
finest woman in the world happy.
Do you want to come to my age
feeling the same way? Pride's the
most expensive luxury in the world,
Neal. Are you going to wreck your
life on yours—your life and hers?'
"Next thing you know, Babbs, I
had Phoebe on the 'phone. And I
was asking her all breathless and
scared if she'd see me for five min
utes. Dizzy 1 was for fear she'd
turn me down."
Then Phoebe interrupted with a
happy laugh:
"1 was more scared than ho was,
Anne. But I said—why not for ten
minutes? I almost died of shame
when 1 heard the words coming.
But he called me a darling and said
he'd be at the appartment in a taxi
in record time. And I was in the
lobby waiting"
"And I gave the doorman a fiver
for knowing enough to look the
other way at the right time." added
Neal, interrupting in turn. "And
now all I've got to do is persuade
the little girl that next week is the
ideal time for a wedding."
"Don't be in such a rush," I said,
getting up and turning my back on
their unashamed joy of each other.
"I'll show as much knowledge of
which way to look as any doorman
can display," I added lightly.
But my thoughts weren't light at
all. I was wondering how Virginia
—who had never approved of Neal
—would accept him now. Now that
he had been publicly jilted by Evvy
Mason. Now that he was Pat Dal
ton's partner.

Will Use Funds to Purchase
Coal and Raw
Materials
Vienna, Aug. 7. The Govern-
I mcnt has decreed that it will take
| over all gold, silver, jewelry, foreign
i bonds and forests which are in the
I possession of private individuals,
( who will receive compensation for
I them. One of the governments
j objects is to obtain funds to pur-
I chase coal and raw materials in
j order to provide wbrk for the peo- j
] pie, incidentally to buy foodstuffs,
| without which the starvation condi
tions of lost winter will be horribly
acecntunted this fall.
It is predicted that unless the
allies occupy Budapest and end the j
present communist regime the coun
try will be wasted and the peoplo
will starve in the coming winter.
The first effect of a kind of block
ade established by a force of Amer
ican soldiers along the Austrian
frontier of Hungary will be to pre
vent money, or materials which l
represent money, from flowing out
of the country, for It is known that i
the communists are sending money |
abroad for propaganda purposes.
The Americans are experiencing
great difficulties in controlling an
immense amount of contrab and
traffic that has sprung up in small I
border towns like Bruck, through
! which the communists are smug- I
i gling out money and Hungarians |
who fled to Vienna are trying to
bring out their buried treasures
| find bonds. There is said to exist a
special smuggling service carried out
I by airplanes by means of which
| hundreds of millions of crowns have
j been conveyed out of the country.
Japan Will Return
Shantung to China,
President Wilson Says
• Washington, Aug. 7. President
j Wilson issued a formal statement last
I night saying that the "frank state
| mcnt" made by Viscount Uchida as |
| to Japan's policy regarding Shantung
. "ought to serve to remove many of
i the misunderstandings which had
; begun to accumulate about this ques
i tion."
j Reference in the Uchida statement
|as to the agreement between Japan
I and China in 19t5, "might be mis
-1 | leading," the President said, "if not
1 commented upon in the light of what
occurred in Paris."
When the question of disposal of
j Shantung was definitely decided on
! | at Paris, President Wilson said the
I Japanese delegation in reply to a
question from him said:—
! "' 'The policy of Japan is to hand
back the Shantung Peninsula in full
sovereignty to China, retaining only
the economic privileges granted to
j Germany and the right to establish a
settlement under the usual conditions
at Tsing Tao.'"

THE LOVE GAMBLER

CHAPTER XL
Copyright, 1919, Star Company '
David Smith Dolaine followed in
structions, driving uptown to the
Leighton house for the parcel men
tioned by his employer's daughter.
It was a strange coincidence, he
reflected, that he should be in the
service of the girl of whom his aunt
had been fond—the girl she hail
wanted him to meet and to care for,
the girl to whom she had left a
piece of jewelry her nephew had
admired. He was now sent for the
pendant—just as if he had never
known the woman to whom it be
longed. TJhcre were many queer
situations coming his way nowa
days. ,
This situation was of his own
making. Yet, when he had decided
upon his novel adventure he had no
idea where it was leading him.
Well, he would see it through.
He must, for he had his living to
make. He was assailed suddenly by
a keen doubt as to whether he
would be willing to give up his pres.
cnt position.
This doubt annoyed him. lie
wanted to feel that he was heart
free as well as foot-free.
Annie answered his ring at the
front door. He explained his er
rand.
Miss Leighton says that Norali
knows about the parcel she sent
me for," he added.
"Norah's in her room dressing—
for she's leavin' in a little while.
But I'll tell her," Annie said.
David waited in the lower hall
for at least ten minutes before
Norah appeared, dressed for her
departure from the Leighton house
hold. Her face was hard and dis
dainful.
"Here," she said, thrusting the
small box toward him, "take it! 1
wrapped it up days ago for her.
She's been a long time gettin' it \
downtown. Remember—lt's out of
my keepin' and in yours now."
Thanks," he acknowledged,
dropping the box into the pocket
of his overcoat.
A Parting Slam
"You'd best look out for it," the
girl said significantly. "It's up to
you, now—rbad luck to you!"
Then she slammed the door, leav
ing David both amused and irate.
But his amusement got the better
of his temper and he returned to
his car with a sensation of relief.
There would be no more meetings
with this all-natured creature. He
had made a mistake in the begin
ning in asking a small favor of her.
He had paid for his indiscretion.
When he entered the big jewelry
shop of Fifth avenue, he carried
the little box to the repair depart
ment and asked for Mr. Perry.
"Mr. Perry is busy just now," the
clerk told him. Can vou leave
your message with me?"
David hesitated. He preferred to
carry out • his instructions to the
letter. It was his habit to do this.
"If I could speak to him for only
a moment, I would not detain him,"
he said.
The clerk addressed a middle
aged man who was talking to a
customer.
"Excuse me, Sfr. Perry; but could
you give this person just a minute
of your time?"
Mr. Perry turned to David.

Draw from one to two and so on
to the end.
"Well, what do you want?" lie de
manded brusquely.
The chauffeur handed him the
box.
"Miss Leighton instructed me to
give this to you," he explained
briefly. "She wants the catch of
the chain repaired and the setting
ol the sapphire and diamonds in
spected as soon as convenient,
please."
The explanation was so business
like and concise that the older man
nodded approvingly.
"i .will attend to it at once, just
as soon as I llnisli with this cus
tomer."
"Tlianlc you." David said, turning
away as the jeweler laid the par
cel, without opening it. In his desk.
"Aunt Jeanne's pendant!" De-
Laine mused with a whimsical
smile. "Life's certainly a funny
proposition!"
A .Message From Perry
Then lie got into liis car and
drove back to the employment
agency where ho was to wait lor
1 >esi ree.
Desiree Leigliton's hour at tbo
agency had produced no satisfac
tory results. Such maids as slio
had Interviewed were very few and
thoroughly incompetent. At the
end of the morning she was well
nigh discouraged.
"What am I to do," she asked
the manager of the office.
"Well, it's late in the week, and
Friday's a bad day to get help in."
the woman told her. "I guess per
haps you'd do better if you would
wait until the fore part of next
week, —say Tuesday or Wednesday
—and come in then."
Desiree sighed, yet submitted to
the inevitable.
"I will make a point of coming
on Wednesday," she said.
bear my need in mind, please."
It was luncheon time when she
reached lier home.
"I shall not want the car this af
ternoon," she told David. "You
may do as you please for the rest
of the day."
Annie greeted her as she entered
the house.
"Please, ma'am, they called you
up from somewhere down town. I
think the gentleman who spoke
said his name was Mr. Perry. Ho
said you was please to telephone to
him just as soon as you got home,
and that I wns to be sure not to
forget to tell you."
He probably wants directions as
to what I want done to my pen
dant and chain," Desiree reflected
as she asked for the number of the
Jeweler. "Yet 1 was sure that Smith
got my directions nil right."
But Mr. Perry did not want nnv
directions about the pendant
"Miss Leighton," lie said, "1
must speak to you of a very im
portant matter. I am sorry to die
tress you, but when I opened the
ease loft with mo by your chauf
feur this morning it was absolutely
empty."
Sproul Will Address
Governors' Conference
Governor William C. Rproul will
address the Governor's Conference or
the "Expansion of the National Guard
System as a Basis of National De
fense." Tliis subject will raise somr
interesting discussions, it is believed
Not less than thirty-live Governors
will attend the sessions which will
be held at Salt Lake City, August 18
to 24.
Addresses on the "State Budget" by
the governors of Maryland and Wis
consin. will likely prove interesting.
Maryland and Governor Harrington
have had four years' experience with
the Executive Budget system, which
gives to the governor about complete
control over the state's purse strings,
and consequently unsual control over
the State's policies. Wisconsin and
Governor Phillip have had about six
years' experience with a real legis
lative budget system whereby the
legislature controls.
Idaho and Nebraska have attempt
ed some interesting experiments in
the consolidation of administrative
boards. The experience and recom
mendations of the governors of those
two states will be submitted to the
conference.
A DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND
Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1835 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to a semi-liquid form.
In 1883 Horlick at Racine,Wis..dis
covered how to reduce milk to a dry
poicder form with extract of malted
grains, "without cane sugar.
This product HORLICK named
Malted Milk. (Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.
