Virginia smiled at her ♦.maid when Anthony Norreys had finished reading us Betty's letter, "will you please inquire if there is anything Miss Phoebe would like!" in a minute or two Amanda re turned, her face properly expres sionless in the midst of what she must have thought strange doings. "Miss Phoebe's quite all right now. But she's resting and begs to be excused. She'd like it if Mrs. Harrifeon would come to her room when lunch is finished. Just Mrs. Harrison alone." "May I go now?" I asked eagerly. "Please, Anne!" Virginia refused * smoothly. "You might wait till lunch is over. Tony was so good ~ about managing a little time with us." I tried to flash him an S. O. S. message and it seemed as if ho had interpreted my wordless cry for help, for he turned to Virginia with a suggestion that 1 ached to have her accept. "I've more time than I expected, Virginia. Things shaped themselves so I could get the whole afternoon off. I've only my roadster with me, and I didn't see how three of us could pile in. But if Anne is going to be engaged with your sister couldn't I steal you for a spin up the road?" Virginia looked at me hesitating ly. Bitterly I reflected that she might refuse for fear of being a *" rude hostess. Virginia would al ways take great care not to fail anyone—socially. And I did so want to get her out of the way so I might be free to work, goodness knows, what miracle with Phoebe. "If you go out for a spin with Tony," I said, with sudden inspira tion, "maybe I can lure Phoebe out in my little car. We'll stop for Jim and pack him back in the rumble seat with little sister." This met with Virginia's approval. So she hurried off after lunch to don hat and dust-coat, and I had a moment alone with Tony. Gravely and delicately he made the offer for which I knew he could be counted on: "If there's a bit of bad going ahead for anyone you like, Anne, you'll remember that I'm proud to serve a friend like you—won't you ?" he asked. "Yes," I said. "I'll remember." But deep within me, pride and love were on guard, and I knew that ' One Treatment with Cuticura Clears Dandruff All drnzß-ists ; Soan 25, Ointment 25 A 60.

BUy W ' S " y TUESDAY EVENING, I would do anything for Jim's little sister except ask Anthony Norreys to serve her. Cruel as I felt it was to fail Phoebe in any way, I knew that even for her 1 couldn't offer Jim the humiliation of again taking help from Tony. I had to be friends with Tony that was in evitable. But I didn't have to ac cept benefits from that friendship. The minute Virginia and Tony were gone I hurried to Phoebe. There was silence for a moment after I knocked on her door. Then I heard a key turning. I felt soma thing sinister in the fact that Phoebe had locked herself in. "It's Anne," I felt Impelled to call. Then the door flung wide and Phoebe seized my hands and whirled me into the room, locking the door again. "Where's Virginia?" she asked. "Out with Tony. He took her for a drive in his car," I said. Phoebe smiled mechanically. "He guessed that I was unhappy. Anyone who looks at me knows I've more to bear than—than I can bear. Only Virginia doesn't see—or won't see," she jerked out. "I don't mind his knowing. I don't mind anyone's knowing. I can't hear it any longer I can't bear it, Anne! Won't you help me?" I caught Phoebe in my arms. For a minute she nestled there, relaxed, and began to cry drearily and tired ly. Then she Jerked away, ran to the window and stood looking out over the city. Her thin little shoul ders were heaving and she seemed pathetic and hopeless. But after a moment or two, when I ventured to go over and lay my hands on her, she whirled and faced me. Her wide eyes looked like velvet pansies drenched in dew. Furrows of tears ran down her heart-shaped face, but in spite of that a glimpse of the Phoebe I had once known flashed out again, dewy and young and deliciously pretty. "Anne!" she cried with honesty that I knew took splendid courage. "I love Neal. I love him more than anyone else on earth. I'll stand it if you tell me he's happy. Has he forgotten mo? Does he love—her?" "Per-haps," I stumbled, wonder ing if a lie would help Phoebe. "He doesn't!" she cried, her head flung high. "If he did —the least tiny bit—you'd say so to try to make me forget. He doesn't I know it in my heart. He loves me. Otherwise I wouldn't love him so. It wouldn't be right to waste all my love for him. Oh, Anne, let me see him just once. I want to ask him if he thinks we both have to be unhappy—for her." "Phoebe, darling what good will it do for you to see Neal?" I cried sadly. "He's promised to marry Evvy. He thinks a man's word is sacred. He'd suffer but he wouldn't break It. And your pride think how you'd humiliate that—for noth ing. Neal's my little brother, Phoebe.

If I can't have him, there isn't anything else for me In all the world " Her voice trailed off in a broken sob. I went to take her in my arms, but she put up her little hands and held me off, fighting for self-control as she fought to refuse the poor comfort I wanted to give her. "I'm sorry," she said. "I'm so sorry I made things harder for you Anne. You must forgive me. It upset me to hear about how brhve Betty Winston can be because she has love to help her through. I'll try not to worry you again. I'll try to be brave without love. And if I can't —" a wistful little smile trembled out at her mouth corners— "why then I won't trouble you either." And then my heart got very cold. For I couldn't help Phoebe. Neal was Neal no one could change that.

Independent Socialists Meet Fire of Troops at Berlin Gathering Berlin, July 22. lndependent Socialists attempted to form a gath ering in the Lustgarten at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The troops fired in the air and then point blank into the crowd, wounding two men and a woman. The crowd then broke up. The incident was the cause of sensational reports throughout the city, but order was maintained. , EARRISBURO TELEGKSPH THE LOVE GAMBLER By Virginia Terhune Van dc Water CHAPTER XXXIII (Copyright, 1919, by Star Company.) Norah was late getting downstairs the following morning. She had not gone to sleep until after midnight. As she recalled Smith's good looks and pleasing manner, it occurred to her that, after all, ne might never have found the note that Annie had tucked so carefully under the rug on the seat of the car. If not, he would find it in the morning when he took the car out. For. of course, he always brushed and dusted the cars well before bringing them to the house. Everything went wrong with Norah that morning. Annie, who had arisen earlier than her room mate, did not awaken her until al most breakfast time. "Why didn't you call me?" Norah demanded as she hurried down stairs. "Because you generally wake yourself," Annie explained. "So I thought perhaps you wanted to sleep later, as you was out last night." "Well, you had another think coming to you!" was the curt re joinder. Miss Leighton regarded her waitress gravely as she entered the dining room. The table had been hastily set and .several articles were missing. "Things are a bit late this morn ing," Mr. Leighton commented dur ing an interval when the maid was out of the room. "What's the mat ter?" "I fancy Norah was out late last night," his daughter answered. "I cannot allow this kind of thing." Yet she said no more until the repast was ended. "I am going to call up Smith and tell him to get the limousine home from the shop the first thing this morning," Mr. Leighton announced. Glancing at Norah, Desiree noted that she was listening eagerly while pretending to arrange something on the sideboard. "That is," the master of the house added, "unless you want him for something especial this morning. If he can get the big car later." "No," Desiree shook her head. "I do not want the runabout to-day.

I prefer the limousine." Norah Feels Hopeful Norah slipped from the room. She ' was much perturbed. The small car was not to be taken out to-day. Then her note would be left in it, and somebody might pick It up. She was glad there was no address on it—and the name "Norah" would mean nothing to any one of the men at the garage. Yet, Smith must take the rug from the runabout. Then he would find the note. She would speak to him about it this morning whenever he brought the car to the house. She would ask him if he received her message. If not. how apologetic he would be when she told him that she had trusted him to such an extent that she had gone out to meet him last night. She would have some kind of an explanation from him, or she would know the reason why. But how could she manage? While the maid pondered, the mis tress did so, too. She was dis pleased with Norah. She detested a girl who would angle for a man. In spite of all her warning, it seemed that Norah had done her best to attract the attention of a fellow whom she scarcely knew. Yet, Desiree's sense of justice re minded her that Norah had ac knowledged that Smith had asked her to come out on the sidewalk to talk to him last Sunday night. Perhaps that was true, and per haps it was not. And even if he had asked Norah to do that—while it was not a very nice thing for him io do—yet there was no actual harm in it. And unless he had known that Norah would be quite willing for him to talk to her out on the street at that hour of the night, the man would not have sug gested her doing so. Already Desiree had persuaded herself that Norah, and not Smith, was the chief offender.. The only thing now for Miss Leighton to do was to return the note to the writer. Matters Come to a Crisis So when Mr. Leighton had left the house that morning his daugh ter sent for Norah to come to the library. The girl appeared, slightly flus tered pnd on the defensive. She suspected that something was wrong, but sjie did not know just what. "Norah," Desiree remarked, "isn't this your property?" She held the folded pink paper toward the girl. Norah's face flushed crimson. "I—I" she began, then stopped, confused. With an effort she tried to speak indifferently. "Why should it be mine? I don't know a thing about it." "I should think .you would know something about it," Desiree re marked. "I inferred that it was written by you, as your name is signed to it." "Well, and if I did write it!" the girl burst forth angrily. "It's not addressed to you, ma'am! Then how do you happen to come by it? If a body reads another body's letter, it's a mean thing. And if Smith hears of it he'll" She stopped. A look of anger had come to the steady dark eyes into which she was gazing. "He will what?" Desiree demand ed sternly. "Be careful how you speak, Norah. It will do you no good to be impertinent." "No. ma'am, I know it won't. But what right did you have with that letter when it belonged to Smith—for I'm not denyin' it did?" "The best right in the world," the young lady said quickly. "Smith himself gave it to me." To Be Continued. Advice to the Lovelorn DOESN'T LOVE HIM ENOUGH Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been going about with a young man for a year and a half. I thought I loved him until recently, when 1 met another young man whom I care more about. I should like your advice about the first young man, as I hate to tell him after all this time. I don't even know If the second young man loves me. C. L. There Isn't anything to do but to | tell the first young man what you have told me, that you do not love him sufficiently to marry him. Then wait and see if the second young man cares enough about you to propose. TWENTY YEARS DIFFERENCE Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 17 and in love with a man of 37. My parents object, as they con sider me too young. Most people take me for at least 21. He can give me luxuries to which I am unaccust omed. He wishes to marry me in September, as he is going back to his home town then. Will you ad vise me what to do? K. J. M. Considering there is 20 years' dif ference in your ages, why do you not wait a year or so and find out how you feel toward him at the end of that time? I never like to advise a girl to act contrary to her parents' wishes, as no one in all the world has her welfare so closely at heart. t Life's Problems Are Discussed By MRS. WILSON WOODROW ' Several young couples, all inti- . mate friends and all contemplating matrimony, decided to put the ques tion up to me: "Is it possible to marry and live comfortably on $25 a week?" Before writing on the subject I talked to a number of persons who had tried it, and they were all in clined to be pessimistic. But since the publication of my article I have received many interesting and practical letters, and all of these so far received have been ! quite optimistic in tone. This is one written by a man: "Your article in to-night's paper interested me very much for the ] reason that I am one of those whose salary was not increased dur- I ing the war, and who makes $25 a j week cover the expenses of three j of us.—myself, my wife and our boy. I If you wonder when I say that we look well nourished, very well dress- ' ed and live in a nice apartment at S3O a month rent, just inquire of our neighbors. "As for my income my books are open to all. If you want to rate me ; as a financial genius, I am willing j to plepd guilty; still it is not a mat- j ter of right living, and my wife , and 1 know how to live. Our ! twelve years •of married life will prove it. It is an interesting his- J tory, especially in that my wife and ' I grow younger instead of older. "Without throwing any more 1 bouquets, 1 wish to say this, and j say it strong—that couples who can- ! not get along on $25 a week would find it difficult to manage on $35 or $45, and there are plenty of them, j you may be sure. For them I have no sympathy. In concuusion, let me < state that 1 don't spend 50 cents or | 25 cents on my lunches, and that i my wife does make her own clothes, i "J. R." And here is the woman's side of it: "I have read with interest your I article on getting married on $25 a week. It can be done, and you can | save, too, providing you make up your mind to do without things that are not needed. "I am a woman twenty-six and have a child. "I pay sl9 a month rent for four rooms, $2 a week for insurance on a two thousand-dollar endowment! policy for my husband. We spend j an average of $2 a week for pleas- , ure, etc. I am paying on a hun- ; dred-dollar bond, and we lay aside , 50 cents a week for our little daugh- i ter's future education. "My husband does not smoke or j drink, so no money is used that way. ! I make most of the clothes for my- j self and my child. I watch the sales . very carefully and buy quite a lot ! at a time. We have four hundred j dollars In the bank, and next year i we arc going to buy a lot and build j our own home. My husband has j no carfare to pay. '*We are very happy, and have no i regrets. The only advice I offer to | young people starting in on $25 a I week is this: Be sure you know ' your right minds, and wait until you i are both over twenty-one. Also, I have at least two hundred dollars j in the bank after your home is fur- j nished. It is something to fall ! back on. "Husband and wife must work j shoulder to shoulder. It isn't hard; it's only the start they need. ' I keep a book of everything I ! spend. "We get a great deal of enjoy ment out of life. We have had sick ness und trouble, but also plenty of sunshine. 1 wish I could shout to the world to make more of the good than the bad. This is easy when husband and wife are pals. 1 don't seem to find it hard to get along and to bet a fairly good table, and my pocketbook is never empty. But again my advice is. Don't start on your last dollar. M." I Another letter from a man: "This is the plan my wife and I worked out and found successful: j —— —————— - i ! LEMON JUICE ! | TAKES OFF TAN f j | Girls! Make bleaching lotion j j if skin is sunburned, | tanned or freckled Squeeze the Juice of two lemons into a bottle containing three ounces j of Orchard White, shake well, and | you have a quarter pint of the best! freckle, sunburn and tan lotion, and ' complexion beautifier, at very, very j small cost.

It is harmless. JULY 22,1919, Others can do the same, assuming that the man is courageous and am bitious and that his wife is a real, partner. We married on $25 a week. "The wife must make herown j budget system and stick to it, sinn j or swim. My wife kept on working j after .our marriage, and I owe my ] start to that fact. Finally an addi- j ton to the family made it necessary for her to give her whole attention I For Iced Tea "Tot leys Particular people insist on Tetley's for iced tea. A frosty, tinkling glass of Tetley's iced tea is the real summer drink—cooling and refreshing!
