"you're behind the times. Mr. Darley; that's no way to talk." "I guess you and I don't reason along the same lines." said Darley in a chilly voice; 'as long as I con trol Darley's I'll take a chance in running the plant just as it's being run now." "My God." said Stover, "see what you'd win if you sold out." "I think I've outlined by posi tion," said Darley; "if you want to sell I'll give you the market price for your holdings, but no combine will get Darley's while I have the deciding vote-is that clear?" "Clear enough," said Stover; "it's foolery though; you'll be sorry one of these days." "I1 you'll excuse me," said Darley, pressing a button, "I must keep an appointment." Stover thrust the papers back into his pocket, knew when he was beaten and tried to take it lightly. "Keep your eyes on that butler." he staid, "and, by the way, you needn't give me away-they're re vengeful cusses. these jailbirds." While Mr. Stover was arguing with Darley, four other persons in the Dailey household were engaged in little dramas of their own. The first was Peter. who, having seen in the eyes of the warden a deter mination to tell his employer the past of his new butler. resolved to know just how far he would go and what Darley's attitude would be. The second was Miss Clare Con way, a charming young woman, who acted as Carlotta Darley's maid. Miss Conway had known and loved Peter a long time; she had waited for him while he serVed time in prison, and to her credit she had never thought of another man-to her Peter was the beau idetal of masculine perfection. The third and fourth were Car lotta and Homer Carleton, both in love with each other-Carlotta was a fascinating, beautiful, graceful little witch and Homer was a gen tleman of old family, enormously rich and good looking, but-and what a but it was-he was what the cruel onlooker would call a little man. If he could only have been a giant how Carlotta's heart would have bounded and his own with it; if he had been as tall as Peter what a blissful thing it would have been. Homer's unhomeric sise gave him many an anxious mo ment and Carlotta many a teasing one. It we natural that Peter should be anxious to know just what the ex-warden might say about him.

Mr. Carleton insisted that an en gaged man had an inherent right to kiss his dance"; Miss brley countered with the proposition that kisses given so easily lose their value. To this Homer had a reply which was more effective than any words could have been; he drew from his pocket a case containing a wonderful necklace whose spark ling diamondp elicited an exclama tion of delight from the astonished girl. "This is my answer." said the young man; "this is my wedding present. It is yours. How many kisses is it worth?" "How man kisses?" asked Car lotta, takin the leather covered case and gazing fascinated at the lights in the stones. "more than I could ever count-perhaps a mil lion." "A million-you promise a mil lion?" "Oh, no. Homer, I don't promise anything-it's worth a million, of course; but those would be merely promissory kisses-not real kisses. given or taken. Well, I should say ten en account." In her heart she would have been glad If her lover had been more of a caveman-if he had taken the kisses first and given her the diamonds afterwards.

You'd never have gotten these if you hadn't." "How about payment?" suggested the young man. "Payment, payment?" queried the girl, giving him a tantalizing look from her glorious eyes. For answer Mr. Carleton asserted his manhood, seised her in his arms and proceeded to take the agrsed number of kisses, with several not stipulated in the bargain, when ha was interrupted by the entry of Clare, carrying the black lace scarf. Carlotta was pretending to strug gle furiously, but in bne of her ex tended hands was the case contain ing the glittering diamonds, and as the maid entered her eve caught their scintillations. She gave a mo mentary start and then, as though she had noticed nothing, kept on to the center of the room and proceed ed to place the scarf over the bare shoulders of her mistress, all the while keeping her eyes focussed on the necklace.

This is the aleveath of the series on Care of the Baby. avert' Mother Should Read. and Save These Articles. INthis article we will touch upon anumber of miscellaneous points Vhich should be ob served in caring for young babies. These are things which may be covered briefly, but which are nevertheless very important for the young mother to know. The manner in which the baby is lifted should include support of the entire spine and there should never be any undue pressure upon the chest and abdomen. When the child Is old enough to walk he may be lifted under the arms. but he should never be lifted by the hands or wrists, as this is very likely to do some harm to the joints by strain ing them. Nervousness in children may be inherited or may be caused by di= gestive troubles. Malnutrition Is a common cause of nervousness. Perfect quiet is the best cure for nervousness, and all playing which might excite the baby should be carefully avoided. The question of playing with babies is closely connected with that of nervousness. Before the baby is six months old he should not be played with at all. When babies are played with before bed time they become excited, the di gestion is upset, and as a result they do not sleep well. in choosing the baby's toys ev erything must be avoided which might be swallowed, and he should not have anything which cannot easily be washed. Painted toys should, of course, be avoided, as babies put everything into their mouths by Instinct.

He is in the army station at Baltimore. I have staid with mother ever since I have been mar ried. I hear from my husband only once every four or five weeks. When we were first married he came to see me every week, and I used to get a letter from him every day. Do you think there is some one in Bal timore he likes better than me' Miss Fairfax, he has no reason to do as he Is doing, for I am true to him, and I also love him with all my heart. UNHAPPY AND LONESOME. Sounds as if he was losing interest in you. Why do you not go to Bal timore to see him and find out about this apparent neglect? 1T'S DISCOURTEOUS. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a young man, eighteen years old, and a senior at high school. I have been keeping company with a girl for the past five months, and must confess I am very much in love with her. She resides with two other girls, all three of whom at tend school here. Recently I brought several eqllege fellows up to entertain the remain ing young ladies. The former are well educated, and their conversa tion is always interesting and In structive, consequently I am an ap preciative auditor whenever in their proximity. We had no sooner arrived when my girl friend lurea me from my learned associates out Into the hall, where I was for-ced to spend the remainder of the evening In her presence. Now, Miss Fairfax, s much as I love the young lady, still I do not approve of this habit being made manifest before my friends. Kindly advise me how to remedy it with out hurting her feelings. F. 3. H. Neither do I approve of such ac tions. It is not courteous. The next time she undertakes to lure you away, suggest to her diplomatically that you believe it would be more courteo~us to stay *ith the others.

An American girl artist, upon return ing to her country home in America, duplicated a very artistic room she had lived in while studying abroad. For any other woman to copy this is not difficult. Suppose you start with a roota that has never really been finished. Go over the woodwork and floors and use a good paste filler. Give the woodwork two coats of white paint and finish with a coat or two of enamel, allowing two days for drying before each new application of peint. The floor should have a coat of "floor fimish."

C. 8." is due very' little considerat ion. but some answer. The expression "Treat 'em rough" and "That'. my motto, kid.' are rather crude and seems to indicate a rather incompetent source of ad vice to a fifteen-year-old wife. Thme person who is willing to sub stitute a dog for a child, or la will ing to give the love every mother should have for her child to a "cute little dog" does not possess the capacity for raising children in the way that makes them good Ameri can citizens. The woman who "paints and dolls up" is conspicuous enough without publishing it in the newspapers. Also the impression the "painted and dolled up woman" leaves, with every thinking man. is really dis gusting. .The person who has a mate who "doesn't give a darn" where they are when they are out. should feel for the coming generation, to the extent of cont nuing to love "the cute little dog.' The little fifteen-year-old 'wife has mny greatest sympathy. If her husband degrades himself to the extent of beating her, she should not retaliate by doing the same. If the police force isn't sufficient, or the jails aren't large enough to pro tect similar cases to the fiften year-old wives, or to hold such hus bands, we will increase the Police force and build larger jails. If I were in her place I would appeal to the law and leave him. This seems to be a more respec table way out of the difficulty han the one suggested by ". C. i. TA,0U'W XlIV SAYE THERE IS TRUE LOVE'. In reply to ie young woman who wishes for true love. I would say that there is such a thing, and it is entirely up to the couple who are in love. - I myself have been looking for a wife, but every girl I mt has about as much sense about "true love" as a couple of cats and dogs. I would gladly give my lve to a girl if I received same in return and then make life enjoyable for both. If said young girl would rather see moving pictures and amusements once or twice a week, it would ring better friendship and love of each other to the couple. 0.

And he gives you as his chief referenee. George Lyons is his name. What can you tell me about him?" "I can tell you that he was our trusted man until this very week when we decided to put up our big car for a time," I replied cautiously. "And to this I can add that while he was acting as our chauffeur he used to help about Dreamwold, Patrick Dalton's place. Is this enough to decide you to give Lyons a chance at what I gather is a posi tion of Importance?" "That's it. ma'am-position of importance!" replied the gruff voice taking on a tone of fact and unctuous self-satisfaction. "Hoad ley, of Hoadley's hate, has some pretty nifty cars in his garage.

Pat assured me. when I put my scheme before him. Though hiring Lyons away to another boss before I can get a car to carry you and Jeanie about while you honor us at Dreamweld strikes me as pretty poor business." "But there's a reason why it might be a good idea to let Lyons take this job he's dug up for him self. You may not get a car or something." I stammered. "And if he isn't contented, of course he'd come back to you if you did get a car. So, say a good word for him. won't you, Pat?" "The best I know," replied my brother-in-law. "If only you'll be bribing me with the promise to come out and live with us begin ning tomorrow and lasting as long as Jim's away. Promise?" "It's a swap." I declared, half tearfully.

Occasionally one sees a young woman whose nails look as if they had been greased-with olive oil or butter, so highly have they been glossed by means of the nail buffer and the various polisting preparations with which the market is flooded. But among women of fashion the high polish has been abandoned. It is only the trailers of fashion who make little mirrors of ther finger nails. No longer are nails cut and filed to an extreme point, nor are they allowed to grow long. Perhaps the fact that women more than ever be fore are engaging in some useful oc cupation has had something to do with this. The hand with extreme ly 'long and highly polished nail. has always been the hand of indo lence. This does not mean that one may be neglectful of the nails. They shouild be trimmed and filed regu larly so that the nails extend a very little further than the end of the finger pad and take an oval shape. i'light~ly more accentuated than the oval of the finger flesh. The nails should be slightly pol ished and the cuticle-to use the ex pression of the manicurists, though of course all skin is cuticle--should be kept well off the nails without bruising them. The nails should not be filedt or clipped off too close ly to the finger at the side. The better manicurists no longer do this. V'ery few men of taste ever bad a high polish on their nails. And now it is particularly avoided. A man wears his nails slightly short er than does a woman, and any thing that suggests a pointed end is considered effeminate.

Kinsey, a publisher who has been blessed with one good seller after another and who, therefore, knows whereof he speaks, has di vulged' the ingredients of that product which Is every publisher's desiratum and untold numbers of book readers' delight. According to Mr. Kinsey. who Is secretary of Cosmopolitan Book Corporation, New York. the ele ments that enter into the making of a best seller are: "A Good Book." "A Good Writer." "Skillful Merchandising." "Intelligent Advertising." Yet many a good and worth-while book has never been a best seller; mAny G brilliant writer has never found the public he deserves; innu merable books that have been more or less "skillfully merchandised" are gathering dust on the dealers' shelves; and sorry is the story of the books that have had "sense tional" advertising which have sont only to disgust a large portion of the public with both books and ad vertising. It requires more than any one of these elements; it takes a combination of a good book. by a good writer, skillfully merchandised and honestly advertised in a big way, to make a best seller. The principal trouble is that meet people-and a lot of publishers among them-think a best seller is an artificial product, a consciously machine-made thing. It is not; it is essentially a human thing, a thing of fine feeling and sincerity; a thing that is in tune with nillions of hearts and which, because it carries with it a note of joy, is deserving of every bit of success it wins. Be it said that Mr. Kinsey is no theorist. His concern has published four works of fiction. Three of the four have been best sellers. These are The River's End and The Valley of Silent Men, by James Oliver Cur wood, and Kindred of the Dust, by Peter B. Kyne. Each of these hba sold beyond the 100.000 mark. Yet Mr. Kinsey declares this figure will seem insignificant for the new Cur wood and Kyne novels which Co. mopolitan Book Corporation will publish this fall. AD)VERTIUUMENT.
