With an outburst of wrath which made
the hangar ring. Orlando lifted his fist
to answer this appeal In his own fierce
fashion from his own side of the door,
but the Impulse paused at fulfillment,
and he let his arm fall again In a rush
of self-hatred which it would have pained
his worst enemy, even little Doris. to wit
ness. As it reached his side, the knock
came again
It was too much With an oath. Orlando
reached for his key But before fitting it
into the lock, he cast a look behind him
The car was in plain sight, filling the
central space from floor to roof. A sin

principal secret would be a secret no
longer He must not run such a risk.
Before he answered this call, he must
drop the curtain he had rigged up against
such emergencies as these. He had but
to pull a cord and a veil would fall be
fore Ms treasure, concealing it as ef
fectually as an Eastern bride is concealed
behind her yashmak
Stepping to the wall, he drew that cord,
then, with an Impatient sigh, returned to
the door
Another quiet but insistent knock
greeted him.
In no fury now. but with a vague sense
of portent which gave an aspect of fare
well to the one quick glance he cast about
the well-known spot, he fitted the key in
the lock, and stood ready to turn It.
"I ask again your name and your busi
ness. ' he shouted. In loud command.
"Tell them or—” He meant to say, "or
I do not turn this key." But something
withheld the threat. He knew that it
would perish In the utterance; that he
could not carry It out. He would have
to open the door now. response or no re
sponse. "Speak"’ was the word with
which he finished his demand.
A final knock.
Pulling a pistol from his pocket with
his left hand, he turned the key with
his right.
The door remained unopened.
Stepping slowly back, he started at Its
unpainted boards for a moment, then he
spoke up quietly, almost courteously:
But the command passed unheeded; the
latch was not raised, and only the slight
est tap was heard.
With a bound he reached forward and
pulled the door open Then a great si
lence fell upon him and a rigidity as of
the grave seized and stiffened his power

The man confronting him from the
darkness was Sweetwater.
Man Within and Man Without.
An Instant of silence, during which the
two men eyed each other; then. Sweet

The silence which settled down at the
completion of these words had a. ’weight
which made that of the previous moment
seem light and all athrob with sound.
The man within had not yet caught his
breath: the man without held his, in an
anxiety which had little to do with the
direction of the weapon, into which he
looked Then an owl hooted far away in
the forest, and Orlando, slowly lowering
his arm. asked in an oddly' constrained
tone:

“Ah! still at your old tricks! I thought

times reaps unlooked-for profits.”
The arm and fist of Orlando Brotherson
ached to hurl this fellow back into the
heart of the midnight woods.
But they remained quiescent and he
spoke instead:
I have burled the business. You will
never resuscitate it through me."
Sweetwater smiled. There was no mirth
In his smile though there was lightness
in his tone as he said:

A growl from Brotherson's set lips.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax
HIS AFFLICTION NO BAR.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am nineteen and became ac
quainted with a man of thirty-four,
with whom I fell in love. He is at
present employed in a large office
and gets a fair salary, but his right
♦ hand is amputated. I think the
world of him.
All my friends tease me and ask
why such a good looking girl should
fall in love with a man who is af
flicted like this.
1 am the first born child, also
the only girl in the family, and my
parents are strongly against my
meeting him. WORRIED.
If he has lost a hand, but has a whole
heart, a clean record and a bright mind,
his affliction should be no bar.
If your parents’ objections are based
solely on his crippled condition, they
are neither fair nor charitable. But
make sure they have no other objec
tions before you beg for their blessing
and approval.
MADE YOUR OWN DIAGNOSIS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl twenty-two years
old and for the past eight months
have been going with a man about
seven years my senior. All during
this time he has made love to me—-
says he loves me, and only me, bet
ter than anything else in the world.
He also knows that I love him.
Hight after he has been to see me
1 find he attends the "club" a good
deal. Sometimes he goes as long
as ten days without calling me up,
or asking to come out. He acts as
though he is ashamed of something.
Then when he comes back he says
that he has been thinking of me all
the time and that I am the only one
he loves. He has never asked me to
marry him.
Some time ago I had intended

I can not suggest that you break

I do suggest that you put him out of

YOUR COUSIN IS WRONG.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am infatuated with a young
lady. One evening I invited her to
go to a place of amusement with
me and she refused. I decided to
go alone, and when I arrived she
was there with another gentleman.
I think she loves me very much. In
fact. I know she does, as a cousin
of mine who lives next door to her
told me so. But every time I ask
her to go out with me she refuses,
and if any other fellow gsks her
she goes with him. GERALD M.
Your good sense should tell you your
cousin is no authority. The girl does
not care for you! Begin your siege
to her heart with that in mind.
If she continues to refuse your at
tentions withdraw them for a while.
That may awaken her interest in you.
AND THEN, WHAT?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man of 19 and deep
ly in love with a young lady who
is six years my senior. When wt
are together she seems very affec •
tionate, but 1 have reasons to be
lieve she cares for others. When I
question her she seems grieved and
denies the charge. We also differ
in religious matters. I am afraid
if I give in now I will always have
to. K. E. L.
You do not believe her word, and
happiness is never founded on a doubt.
You are afraid “if you give in now
you will always have to." If you loved
her as a man should love a woman,
such a fear would never enter your
mind. The man who "gives in” to his
wife is the man who, nine times out of
ten, saves money, prospers, achieves
ambition and gets somewhere.
You are not in love; you think you
are. But there is a difference.
TOO YOUNG TO KNOW.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Don’t you think a girl of sev
enteen, with a knowledge of good
sense, is quite old enough to re
ceive the attentions of young gen
tlemen? GERALDINE.
Many girls have been wooed and
won at seventeen, and life-long happi

mature as they believed
Geraldine is very young—too young
to act against the advice of her pa
rents. Her wisdom may be beyond dis
pute, but the experience of her parents
is of greater worth. For all Geraldine's
years of seventeen, 1 would abbreviate

Worthy of Emulation
By Beatrice Fairfax
WE are told from childhood up
that we must learn from our
elders.
Heaven help us if we confine our les
sons in life to instructions from those
tvhose years are more, for we will miss
the more valuable teachings of child
hood.
Notice the little children in their
play. One has a doll’s go-cart; if it
has three wheels or four makes no dif
ference to the happiness of the owner.
Another has a battered doll, another
the remnants of a china toy tea set,
and another drags a discarded starch
box, which is to be the banquet table.
They do not throw these precious be-
Ipngings away and stare sourly and
enviously at a child who has been fa
vored with more. The knowledge that
the child in the next yard has a new
doll that cries and winks, a real little
table and chairs, and a complete set of
dishes, makes their joy none the less.
They “play like” their crippled doll
has its full complement of arms and
legs. If a cup must serve also as a
cream pitcher their powers of imagina
tion see the cream pitcher on the table.
Given powers of imagery a poet may
well envy, they behold with the eye of
4te mind all that their little hearts de
sire snd are happy.
A Valuable Lesson.
They "play like” the kitchen aprons
they drape around their waists are
long velvet trains; they "play like” the
crackers they serve on their broken
dishes are ice cream and cake, and they
“play like” everything broken and old is
whole and new. and their ability to
"play like” this from morning to night
has a lesson more valuable than we
could learn from the oldest.and wisest
seer.
We must learn from childhood to
cover defects with the beauties of
imagination.
We must learn when compelled to
wear a suit a season too long to “play
like” it is new; we must “play iik?”
everything old and worn and sordid is
beautiful and just what we like. We
must be children again, and find the
power of happiness lies not in material
possessions but in the possession of an
optimistic imagination.
There is no other way to be happy.

deep with many years of thinking and
his volumes of reading weighty and
numerous, can turn to no page, can

much the prettier and finer of the two. But if I were
you, I would take the percale—it’s heavier and will
stand the boiling and rubbing of the ‘wash’ better.”
Anty Drudge— “ Look here, young lady, where have you
been these past 15 years? Don’t you know that with
Fels-Naptha, there is no such thing as ‘boiling and
rubbing of the wash* —to wear fine fabrics to shreds?
You take that batiste. It’ll wear longer washed with
Fels-Naptha the Fels-Naptha way than the heavy
percale will washed the old-fashioned way,”
You’ve heard a woman say:
“This waist has worn terribly. I’ve
only washed it a couple of times and it’s
falling to pieces.”
Clothes cost too much nowadays to be
worn out in the wash, —to be boiled and
scalded until the life is gone out of the
fabric —and then rubbed to shreds on the
wash board.
You must use the soap that preserves
the fabrics —Fels-Naptha.
Use it the Fels-Naptha way —in cool
or lukewarm water, with no hard rubbing.
You’ll get through the day’s wash in one
half the time and with much less effort.
And your clothes will look whiter and
fresher than you ever saw them before.
Follow the directions on the red and green
wrapper. Use any time of year.
