BARBARA VISITS NEIL IN HIS
NEW ENVIRONMENT.
CHAPTER CXX
WHILE we saw so little of each
other at this time—he often
came home just in time to go to bed
•—I think Neil and I were closer to
gether in spirit than we ever had been
since the first days of our marriage.
He talked freely to me of his busi
ness, what he hoped to accomplish
beyond what was expected of him. In
all that was personal he let me share
while never talking of things which
he thought belonged entirely to his
employer. He had developed a nice
ty of discrimination and was not di
verted from it in any particular.
One day I visited his office. I sel
dom went into town. It was not nec
essary, and so an extravagance. I was
really surprised at the difference in
the appearance of this and the old
office, so immaculate, There the desk
was clean, everything locked away.
Here the desk, a large table strewn
with papers, pigeon holes all bulging
a work desk indeed. Neil and the of
fice force all working together in
harmony.
Someway the difference impressed
me more than anything that had hap
pened with the stability of Neil’s
work as compared withJiis promoting
projects. Here was real business,
work that had no need to be hid
den, because no false representations
were made. Office doors were not
locked, although they were so busy
one had to be announced. In every
slightest detail was the contrast im
pressed upon me. I wondered why I
had not suspected long before I did
that all was not right. Had I, I might
have tried to persuade Neil to—here
my thoughts halted. I realized that—
as Neil was then—nothing I could
have said would have made any dif
ference. As he was now, he would
have seen the wrong and righted it
himself without any interference.
Neil had charge of the manufactu
ring end of Mr. Frederick’s business.
It had grown enormously since he
took charge, partly owing to the
war. His commissions amounted to
far more than his salary, far more
than either of us had dared hope. But
if his health should fail under the |
strain what good would it do? At
times I thought I should have to ap
peal to Mr. Frederick, so anxious did
I feel. Then I could not bear to ask
anything more of him, and simply
pleaded with Neil to be careful —to
no avail.
Meanwhile the days and weeks
were slipping by and Fate or what
ever we may call it, was quietly,
steadily, persistently working out her
own ends, and our salvation, as is
her wont. Then suddenly we, the
United States were in the war. It
had happened almost over night, at
least the realization had to those of
us who had scouted the idea that we
could have by any possibility be
drawn into the frightful vortex con
vulsing the Allied nations.
Among the first to offer his re
sources to our government was Mr.
Frederick. His vast manufacturing
plants were turned into munition
works, his immense fortune put to
work to save the world. And because
of his quick grasp of affairs Neil
was made chief of his many lieuten- '
ants. Frederick had said to him:
“You have vison Forbes, and that
is what we need. You ar? execu- I
tive, that also is what we need, and
you have patriotism, which we must :
have. I believe you are the man for
the place. Will you undertake it?”
The salary was very large, but Neil
earned every bit of it. He would have
liked to have joined the army had his
obligations not prevented; also the
belief that he could do more for his
country by remaining at his post.
We talked it all over and both agreed |
he was needed at home. He was too
old for the draft, so would not be j
taken.
If he had worked and slaved be- '
tore he worked and slaved a hundred
limes as hard now. He had no thought
if self, no care save to make good,
lis life was often endangered be
sause of his business, and his out
spoken views. Robert and I lived in
DO YOU KNOW WHY - - So Many Women Can't SeeAJoke ?
our little home, sometimes not seeing
Neil for days together. Often the
mills were threatened they had found
more than one bomb, and he kept a
constant surveillance over all Freder
ick—who was now in Europe—had
intrusted to him. When men who
were working for the best interest of
our government were mentioned,
Neil’s name was invariably near the
top of the list. Men were forgetting
he had been blacklisted because of
his schemes. Events crowded upon
one another so swiftly that yesterday
was forgotten. It was today, now,
that counted.
To be continued,
A GOOD FRIEND.
A good friend stands by you when
in need. Americus people tell how
Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the
test. Mrs. Alice L. Cobb, of 530 For
syth street, Americus, endorsed Doan’s
ten years ago, and again confirms the
story. Could you ask for more con
vincing testimony?
“I have suffered off and on from
kidney trouble for several years,”
says Mrs. Cobb. “I had pains in the
small of my back and sometimes had
dull headaches. I felt languid had but
little energy and was finally advised
to try Doan’s Kidney Pills. I got a
supply and they made me feel like a
different person.” (Statement given
March 28, 1908.)
On April 24, 1918, Mrs. Cobb said:
“I have the same faith in Doan’s Kid
ney Pills now, as when I endorsed
them before. I use them occasionally
and always receive fine results.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Cobb had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Two Discredited Prophets.
Among other nineteenth-century
false prophets might be mentioned the
ex-naval officer, Richard Brothers, who
predicted that he would be king of
Jerusalem, and Private James White,
who founded a religious sect known as
the Jezreelites.
Cold Water as a Purifier.
Fresh cold water is a powerful ab
sorbent of gases, therefore it should be
greatly used in a sick room or in one
which cannot be frequently ventilated.
A bowl of cold water kept in such a
room and changed daily is of great as
sistance in purifying the air.
Ink Stains on Furniture.
To remove ink stains from tnahog
