Will Lacy and Dana lie to protect
Vai ?
Is Aunt Mollie making up such a
careful- alibi for Val because she
thinks her guilty, or innocent?
These questions came to me while
Phoebe was speaking. And Ihen.
strangely enough, something else
Hashed into my mind. Maybe what
put it there was the sudden focus
ing of my eyes on .leanie's wool
sweater-coat which still lay across
the chair where I'd flung it on com
ing in from my interview with Lane
the night before.
I had slipped the sweater off and
had hurried to my room in a pas- j
sion of pity for the big brown bear
and a passion of revolt. Suddenly 1 j
realized that the fugitive memory 1|
had been struggling to capture was:
of the old lucky piece Lane hud j
given me. ~ I
"It's in a pocket of Jeanie s coat, i
I told myself. "I put the hundker-,
chief in which I tied the coin into,
one of the pockets when I ( slipped
into the coat. I must get it."
Jeanic and Phoebe were still dis
cussing the tragedy of Sheldon i
Blake's death. With a careless air!
I picked up the sweater and began
rummaging its pockets. Jeanie in
terrupted herself to ask if there was
anything special I wanted.
"Yes. A pretty hankie Ive lost. j
I replied, wondering why I hadnt,
lold the whole truth as I heard my
self expressing half of it.
"Did you think I'd picked it up I
and hidden it in the family sweater . t
laughed Jeanie.
"I thought i put It in one of the
pockets. 1 wore the sweater th.
other evening when I ran out foi a
breath of air." |
"Not there, though? asked JeanL.
adding politely, "isn't it queer the
way we always lose our prettiest
and most valuable
Was it marked in any special way
Tf you don't find it I'll tell them to
be on the lookout for it in the wash j
this week.
"It had a lucky-piece in it. A bat
tered octagon strung on a little gold ]
wire. I don't like to lose it."
"Superstitious, eh?" chuckled Vir- |
ginia, tolerantly.
I flushed, hut offered no explana
tion. Only to Jim could T relate the ;
queer method of communication,
Lane Cosby had offered to me. Thc|
incident was interwoven with the
ugly breach between Yal and me, and |
the queer, strangled kiss Lane had,
pressed on my lips.
Virginia' didn't press the point of j
my being superstitious. She didn't |
seem to thing it one worth discus-j
sing. She had something important i
on her mind, and she made it evi
dent now that the talk about Shel
don and bis tragedy hadn't diverted
her interests.
"We've gossiped about other folks
long enough." she said with a touch
of her'old arrogance. "Now, I want
to get down to the matter in hand.
Phoebe, your coming down here
while Anne and Jim are yvith me
seems almost providential. I think
we ought to arrange a quiet wed
ding at once. As I was about to sav
a while ago when you interrupted
me, Pat and I are going to make
this our year-round home. Ami
there's ton months to run yet on the
lease of my apartment in town. Tf
we want to go in now and then for
the theater or the opera, we have
Pat's bachelor diggings to shelter us.
So there you are."
"So there you aren't!" replied
Phoebe uneasily. I'm going to have
a big wedding in June. And you
must railroad me into a little family

afTair just because you want to get
i rid of me."
"But, Phoebe, I'm quite serious,"
said Virginia, with an air of great
patience, and of not intending to per
mit herself to be diverted from the
main issue by Phoebe's attempt to
laugh it off as a mere notion.
"There's the apartment furnished!
|and with len months' lease to run.
I don't want to rent it to strangers
at any pfice. And if you and Neal
will feel better about not taking it
for a gift as I'd hoped, I'll let you
pay a little rental."
''l can't," protested Phoebe.
"You think I don't do this with
my whole heart?" asked Virginia. I
"I'm very happy myself, dear, and T ]
want you to be happy too. Xeal's a ,
fine lad. and I've changed my mind j
j about waiting until you're 20. That's
I 100 far off. Really it isn't fair to
| keep Xeal waiting."
| Phoebe flung u pleading glance ot
jnio. It is often Phoebe's fate to be
| tongue-tied when she feels most j
I deeply. And when Virginia gets one;
]of her inspirations she rides it in
|lhc high-handed fashion she and Jim'
j share. I was Just ready to open my,
| lips in protest when Jeanie turned |
[to me and said:
"You mustn't be hurt at Phoebe:
j nor feel that she doesn't adore Neal. I
Iter putting him oil' like this isn't)
coldness. it's just youthful j
bornness which I can't permit. Once
T opposed her marriage and she j
'fought for it. Now I'm ready, butl
| little sister feels she has to prove!
'that she's a weman by naming her!
I own day."
"I think it isn't that." T began,!
freshly, in spirit of my knowjedge ofi
j what opposition has always done to ;
j Jeanie. "You forget"—
I Virginia smiled me down,
j "You forget what we both are old I
enough and wise enough to know, j
I Xeal needs a home—and his little)
bride in it. That is what ought to I
j count with Phoebe." j
I Phoebe's young face flamed and I
I she flung back her head proudly, I
[ protesting:
I "It's you who forget, Jeanie! I |
! promised Neat's father I'd wait till j
Ihe gets back. That dear old man is,
! 'way up in the Canadian Northwest
jon goodness knows what unselfish,!
quixotic mission. I said I'd wait fori
I him, and I will—even if you put me
lout. Anne and Jim would take me|
j in, T guess."
| Virginia's eyes flashed. I waited ,
I for an outburst such as had always |
| come from the high-spirited woman >
when she was opposed. But sud- j
denly Virginia laughed.
"Have it your own way, Phoebe.'
| You're a Harrison, so you will!

CHAPTER V
(Copyright, 1919, Star Co.)
i The day on which Hugh Rodney
j was to start for Minneapolis came
! all too quickly for the engaged pair.
Of course, Hugh had tpent his
] last evening in Xcw York at the
! Courtney house. But he had also
' promised to stop to say farewell to
! Doris on his way to the train the
| following morning.
{ Doris paced the library restlessly
! for a half-hour before her be
trothed appeared. When at last she
: saw the Rodney car draw up at the
; curb she hurried to the front door
before the cnller could rii\g.
i "(!ome right into the library," she
| commanded.
1 Hugh had only a few minutes in
i which to say good-by. He took the
! girl into his arms and kissed her
! fervently.
"Do not cry, darling." he begged
!as the tears came to her eyes. "It
\ will not be very long before we will
' be together again."
i "1 feel its if I could not stand the
! separation!" Doris declared, cling-
I ing to him. "Oh, Hugh—l shall be
so lonely!"
lie was not accustomed to seeing
| women cry, and it unnerved hint.
'He thought suddenly of Ruth. He
j would feel easier if she were with
; Doris when he left. He would
I rather leave his. beloved with her
calm; self-controlled sister than
with her more emotional mother.
"Ruth!" lie called, stepping to the
foot of the stairs.
Ruth Courtney, passing through j
the upper hall, heard big voice and
hurried down. She knew he would
not summon her at this juncture
unless he had something important
to tell her.
"Oh, my dear." Hugh said, hold
i ing out his hand to her as she
J entered the library, "I must get
I right off, for my train leaves at
! 11. But I would be more coni
i fortable about Doris if you will
| promise to keep an eye on her. I
I am sure you will tell me if she is
l not well —or anything," he finished,
j lamely.
j The sister replied promptly. 'Of
j course, I will. But Doris is going
j to be well and happy in the thought
|of your return. So do not worry
; about that."
Parting Confidences
His financee walked away from
the pair and stood gazing down
into the open fire on the hearth.
Hugh lowered his voice.
v You must understand. Ruth,
what this parting means for both
of us. I had no idea it would be so ]
hard for her as well as for me. You
know"—with a sudden burst of con
fidence—"my life would not be
worth living if anything happened
, to separate us"—
Ruth Courtney checked him by a
gentle hand laid on his arm.
"Hugh—don't have such fancies!"
she urged. "Doris is going to be
all right, and so are you. r know."
she added, softly, "how much she
means in your life, and I promise
to do my best to keep your happi
ness safe for you. And now," with
a smile, "I will run away and leave
you two alone."
In her own room she heard the
front door close after the depart
ing lover. A minute later Doris
i entered and threw herself into her
! sister's arms.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
"Oh, Ruthie!" she sobbed, "what ;
shall I do'.' 1 shall miss him so
dreadfully!"
Ruth spoke as a mother might
have done. "My dear little girl,
don't cry so! Hugh will be sate and
will prosper, and," with a little
laugh, "will be coming back before
long to marry you. Think of that!"
Doris dried her eyes and smiled. I
"I suppose I am very silly," she ad
mitted, "but being engaged has ,
been so very wonderful. i am !
ashamed to have cried all over your
nice, clean shirtwaist," a gleam of
tun coming to her reddened eyes.
"1 suppose if mother had not been
out this morning she would have
received the deluge."
"1 am glad if 1 was of any help."
Ruth said calmly. "And now let us
plan something for this afternoon.
What do you say to our going to
gether to a matinee?"
"Oh, that would be a larlt!" Doris
exclaimed. "Honestly, 1 suppose 1
would be very foolish to sit around
at home and mope all the while
that Hugh is away. It would make
me old and ugly, und 1 want to keep
young and pretty for him, you
know."
No Sense of Clieer
"Of course, you do," Ruth agreed, j
"And you have enough to look for- |
ward to to keep you happy all the !
time."
"Hark!" Doris said irrelevantly, j
"I hear mother's step downstairs, i
She must have come in at last —but .
j she was long enough about it. 1
will go down to her."
Ruth were certain that her sis
| tor's grief would burst forth afresh
as she told her parent of the lov
ers' farewell visit. Doris always
got an abundance of sympathy. The
younger girl supposed that tiiis, as
well as an abpndance of love, was
licr sister's right.
The smile died from Ruth Court
ney's face when she had closed the
door and was again alone.
She walked to the window and
looked out at the spring sunshine,
but it brought her no sense of
cheer.
"He never even told me good-by,"
she whispered. 'Not only has he
gone, away from New ork, but he
has gone out of my life as well. Yet
he and p have been such good
friends! I wish I had not depended
so much upon his friendship. it
would be easier now.
"He must have trusted me to
I leave Doris in my charge. If mother
had been in he might have §aid to
her what he said to me. But I
I doubt it. After all, he knows that
| I understand him pretty well—bet
ter, perhaps, than I understand
Doris. Poor girl—she is unhappy j
one minute, then happy the next! j
Ah, well —I must try to fulfill mv
promise to Hugh. T said I would do I
my best to keep his happiness safe
for him. That." with a whimsical
smile, "is a rather big contract fot
any one to undertake for another."

Back to the Farm
Movement Is Noted
According to a report just Issued by
the Vocational Summary it appears
that the back to the farm movement
has started in earnest.
Tile report states that 19,859 pupils
over the country were enrolled in ag
ricultural subjects in vocational
schools during 1918 and 1919.
The report further states tiiat this
is an Inerease of 4.442 students being
trained in this subject. It is interest
ing to note that this is only the sec
ond year In which practical instruc
tion of this sort has been within
rfach of the average child of school
age.
The Bureau of the Census approx
imates an increase of one million
farms in the United States during the
last ten years. This increase, to
gether with the increase of scientific
ally trained men to operate them has
I secured the future of agricultural
j America.
j HOW FRENCH POLITICS PAYS
| A French general election covers
I the colonies as well as the mother
country, and the successful colonial
candidates are the best paid legis
lators in the world. Besides the
.general yearly salary of $3,000 co
lonial deputies draw allowances
from the constituents. The Income
of the member for Senegal is in
this way made up to $12,000 a your,
or as much as the premier himself
receives. The representative of
Guadeloupe receives SB,OOO a year
and the deputy for Pondiohcrry's9 - I
000. The most modestly paid of the
colonial deputies is the member lor
French Guiana, whose salary and al
lowances amounted to 14,200 a year.
As French law prescribes no limit
to election expenses, huge sums are
occasionally spent on contesting con
stituencies in the colonies. M. Joan
Bernard relates that at 'he 'ast gen
eral election ono of the eunidadtes
for Senegal bired three steam round
abouts, which, during the whole
ccmpaign, were placed at tile free
disposal of the electors and Ih<lr
fnnilies. He was returned by a
j sweeping majority.

NEW ASPECT TO I

Wilson's Order Returning the
Roads March 1 May
Change Situation
Washington, Dee. 26. President
j Wilson's proclamation returning the
railroads to private control March 1
lends a new aspect to wage problems
now before Director General Hines.
In tho opinion of Railroad Admin
istration officials, the President's
order, made public Wednesday night,
should tranquilize the labor situa
tion, inasmuch as the time of Gov
ernment control is extended by two
full months. Union officers who
have been pressing for a settlement
of their demands before the roads
went back, on tho supposition that
| the transfer would be made on Jan
uary 1, the date originally set, have
not indicated how the proclamation
will affect their plans.
The only wage demands now be
fore Mr. Hines are those of the 500,-
000 shopmen, who were refused a
general increase of 2 5 per cent last
summer. President Wilson and the

President Jewell and the executive
council of the six shop crafts re
cently renewed their demands. They
were asked to await an official report
by Attorney General Palmer, since
made public of the trend of priefcs.
Mr. Palmer's report, showed that
the customary upward march of
prices during the full months had
been much less this year than in the
past and expressed the conviction
that the next two months would
show substantial results in reducing
the inflation of living costs. The cost
I of living question, therefore, still is
unsettled in Ihe minds of high Gov
ernment officials and will not be set
tled until after Government control
of the rail system hats expired. It
remains to lie sden what view the
President and the Director General
will take of the shopmen's renewed
demands for more money in the
light, of the Attorney General's state
. incut
It is understood the shopworkers
were represented to lie growing rest
j less over the lack of action on 'heir
j demands.
Demands of railroad clerks for
more money now are before the
board of railway wages and working
conditions, which has not indicated
when a report to the Director Gen
eral may be expected.
Kxtension of the time of Federal
control will necessitate the placing
of additional contracts by the Rail
road Administration, inasmuch as
purchases up to this time generally |
, have been for delivery up to the end
of the year. Some rails and ties will
I j have to be bought, also other ma
