* t ML Love is a sickness full of woes, all remedies refusing:." —Samuel Daniel. By BEATRICE FAIRFAX G K. writes: "I am seventeen years of age and in love with a girl one year my Junior. 1 am in love with her very much, but I don’t know if she loves me. ,1 feel as if I am getting sick, knowing not what to do." The letter bears a date of ten days ago. If it were of yesterday, or the day previous, there might be reason for some uneasiness regarding the condition of G. K„ but ten days is a long, long time, and without doubt he has gone through all the chills, the fever, the pangs, and made a complete ' recovery ere this. This boy and girl love—calf love, some say—may develop into some thing larger, truer, finer, but the chances are all against it. A boy of seventeen thinks he has found the one love for life, and he also thinks he will never become too old to prefer pie to potatoes. He is sure that his •heart will never waver from the choice of his youth, and just as sure that when he has grown old and gray, and has earned the right to spend money as he chjoses, that he will at last gratify his youthful longing for nut sundaes. Seldom Serious. The love of his extreme youth is seldom serious, and does not even be come a pleasant memory, for the rea son that there were so many of them. The one picture he thinks he will al ways carry in his heart becomes the composite picture of many, and he forgets in a few years if Ethel had blue eyes or brown, and if it were Mary who gave him a lock of her hair, or Susan. His emotions are so short-lived that calf love would be something to laugh about were it not for the waste of time every such love represents. In the growing, developing, event ful and impressionable period of life, when a bey and girl should he study ing their school books and laying the foundation for helpful manhood or womanhood, they moon around to the neglect of everything in life that is worth while, devoting every hope, every energy, every thought, to whai they call love, but which bears no nearer resemblance to love than a worthless pebble bears to a precious j#W6l It is most regrettable that so much time is wasted in seeking for the counterfeit, instead of preparing one s self by study and training and self- control to appreciate the genuine that will cojire later. Needless Waste. G. K has recovered from the sick ness that prompted his letter long ere this. It is as if he called a physi cian to minister to an ailment so short-lived that it had vanished when the physician arrived. But the physi cian would warn him against anothei such attack, and explain the folly of needless pain, the waste of health and energy that could be avoided. I can do no more. The remedy lies in his own hands. He must put such devotion into the effort to make a man of himself that there isn’t time, room or inclination left for indul gence in the emotions that are not his due till he reaches man’s estate. The Five Frankforters A Romance of Great Wealth as Played by Money Kings By KATHRYN KEY. Copyright, 1913, by the New York Even ing Journal Publishing Company. TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT. "Solomon, you may come in. Our tete-a-tete is quite over. We have not much in common—his Highness and I,” said the old woman sadly. The five F*rankforters came quickly at their mother’s summons. Char lotte came too, and stood in the door way where for one fleeting moment she had touched the garments of the God of Love as he sped by. "Madame! Shall I speak now?” asked Duke Gustavus with firm dp- 'cision. Then he turned from the old mother to Solomon. "Sir—you know already why I am here to-day. I have the honor to beg for your daughter’s hand in marriage." With due solemnity Solomon an swered: "We thank you, Duke Gus tavus, for the high honor you confer on our family. We accept that honor —gratefully and gladly. 1 give my daughter to you." Who shall fathom the heart of a maid? Who shall tell to what knowledge of her woman’s heritage charlotte had grown in one full hour 7 The girl came gently to her father and put her hand on his shoulder and looked deep into his eyes—into his soul, perhaps. "Father, you CANNOT without a word from me!" "What do you mean?” asked her father sternly. "1 am ashamed! I know now that you arranged this yesterday—and T am ashamed." The Crisis. in growing anger the man ask £d his daughter. “How ashaineUT’ “Ashamed to have been offered and accepted in this way.” “It is the custom of our people to arrange marriages in this way." Solomon's growing anger would not brook long delay—or argument. “A hateful custom! A shameful custom!" cried Charlotte. “Shameful?" Solomon's wrath was threatening to overwhelm his digni fied manners. "Yes. Yes—shameful. Your High ness. I will not be a party to a bar gain so shameful to both of us. I thank you—and refuse.” “Do you know what you are sav ing?” thundered the baffled father. “Do you know what I am FEEL ING? Father, do you believe that I could ever be happy without a home? For 1 could never find a home In that castle, with the very servants laugh ing at me behind my back.

Solomon spoke. He was very an gry, but it was that cold. Implacable, anger that brooks no interferenre with his desires. “Your Highness will forgive this exhibition? My daughter will soon see reason?” But Gustavus was to atrugg.e slowly to-day to his full heritage of manhood. “1 beg you—I insist that you shall not persuade her against her will." ...

Carl, Am- schel? I think we still feel that Your Highness’s personal security is what we want.” And as they discussed the salt mines and great forests that might yet make the Duchy of Taunus a wealthy province, the brothers little dreamed of the hidden wealth Gus tavus was finding in his dream of a pair of eyes that had not lied. For suddenly the Duke of Taunus knew that the old home was his and he must not leave it—that a man must not abdicate for the woman he loves —but that when he is worthy to rule, then he is worthy to win even her love. And the money? Oh. Gustavus of Taunus could always find plenty of use for that! Love may work mir acles. but because his sweetheart’s hair is spun gold, a spendthrift does not learn to scorn ^11 other gold! The Real Reason. And Solomon was thinking of the plans that had gone so sadiy amiss —and of his twelve millions of flor ins! They might have been better invested! “Who could have believed it!” said he. "A young fellow like that to have the best of us! Providence has helped him.” "Perhaps he is sharper than you thought,” said his mother. "Then I am all the more sorry to lose him as a son-in-law. Now— Fraudlein Charlotte—you will be so good as to give me your reasons for what you have done.” The girl moved slowly, almost as one in a dream, across to the father had -so aorely disj>ie$>ed. Her tie scene was set and she must play out her part before her audience. Grannie was sitting again in her great arm-chair by the little break fast table. Old So! still shone across the rose arbor and traced a pattern of flowers and leaves on the soft green carpet Across the room, stood her Cousin Jacob—intent, waiting—one would scarcely dare guess for what. But Charlotte and her father stand ing close—close in The little heart of that sunny room, were talking to each other across grim, gray seas of mis understanding. "Your reasons, Charlotte,” said the man. This was not father talking to daughter—it was t,he man of busi ness talking to the woman who had dared to balk his dearest plans. "You know them, father. If I mar- it will not be for a castle, and iX grand title, and position—the Duke would have given those to me —but 1 want more—far more—than he could ever give me." "Go on." "And I must be able to give more —infinitely more than I could ever give to him. Then I would be con tent to live anywhere- as dear Gran nie was.” The Truth Comes Out. Solomon sank into a great chair across the room from his mother. On Frau Gudula s face was a sweet smile of memory—and hope for this younger generation whom she loved. And Jacob? Jacob was waiting—. waiting with throbbing pulses and yearning eyes for that supreme thing for which he would have given the world had the world been his! "Is there anyone to whom you could give-—and who could give to you—all you mean?" asked Solomon with slow' insistence. He would sift this matter of his daughter’s daring disobedience to the bottom. "I—I—believe so, father." "Will you tell me who he is?" The girl did not answer. Pulsing, telltale blood stained her cheeks with lovb’s own royal crimson—but she could not lift her stfury eyes. "So! It is all arranged between you. I suppose. What is his position in life?” Charlotte answered so low that one might scarcely hear her timid tones: "He is—a business man. I think you would call it.” "Every tailor calls himself that. What kind of a business is his?” "Banking”—still lower. A banker?” "Yes; like you.” The girl wondered if this torture would ever cease would she ever be at peace—and happy?

In a close encounter during the Ameri can Civil war, two soldiers, one from each army, came face to face within short range. Each put up his gun and fired, as it subsequently appeared, his last car tridge. Both missed. The bullet of one man buried itself in a tree, and the shot of the other passed through the coat of his enemy. Each man. knowing his ammunition was gone, supposed himself to be at a disadvantage. One of them made a great show of re loading his gun, and, stepping forward, demanded a surrender. The other threw down his arms with a groan. "If I had another cartridge l would never surrender,” he exclaimed, “That's all right," calmly remarked the captor, marching off his prisoner ‘If 1 had another, you may be sure I shouldn’t have asked yoq to surrender.” T HE picture on the left show's a rich and effective model for thea ter or semi-evening wear.

The model on the right cannot be recommended to the woman who wishes to be modest.

She loves the trees and the grass and the flowers -and everything that’s simple and real! And as for her lw*art—” His voice was low and very tender. "Why, her heart is the biggest I’ve ever known. It’s just overflowing w*ith sweetness and kindness. I’ve seen her pick up a baby that had fallen in the street and mothei* it ih a way that — well, no one could do It as she did it, unless her soul was clean." Gilder in Despair. The father was silent, a little awed. He made an effort to shake off the feel ing. and spoke with a sneer. “You heard what she said yesterday, arid you still are such a fool as to think that." The answer of the son came with an immutable finality, the sublime faith of love. “I don’t think—I know!” Gilder was In despair. What argu* ment could avail him? He cried out sharply in desperation. ‘Do you realize what you’re doing? Don’t go to smash, Dick, just at the be ginning of your life. Oh. I beg you. boy, stop! Put this girl out of your thoughts and start fresh.’’ The reply was of the simplest, and it was the end of the argument. "Father." Dick said, very gently. "I can’t." There followed a little period of quiet between the two. The father, from his desk, stood facing his* son,'who thus denied him in all honesty because the heart so commanded. The son rested motionless and looked with unflinching eyes into his father's face. In the gaze of each was a great affection. "You're all I have, my boy,” the older man said at last. And now the big voice wns a mildest whisper of love. "Yes. Dad,” came the answer-another whisper, since It Is hard to voice the truth of feeling such its this. “If I could avoid it, I wouldn’t hurt yo- for any thing In the world. I'm sorry, Dad awfully sorry—” He hesitated; then his voice rang out clearly. There was in his tone, when he spoke again, a recognition of that loneliness which is the curse and the crown of being: “But." he ended, "1 must fight this out by myself—fight it out in my own way. . . . And I’m going to do it!” CHAPTER XVI. Burke Plots. ry'MlE butler entered. "A man to see you, sir,” he said. Gilder made a gecture of irritation, as he sank into the chair at his desk. "I can’t see any one to-night, Thom as,” he exclaimed, sharply. “But he said It was important, sir/* the servant went on. He held out the tray Insistently. The master took the card grudgingly. As his eyes caught the name, his ex pression changed slightly. “Very well," he said, “show him up.” His glance met the wondering gaze of his son. “It’s Burke.” he explained. “What on earth can he want—at this Mme of night?” Dick exclaimed. The father smiled grimly. “You may as well get used to visits from the police.” There was something ghastly in his effort toward playfulness. A moment later Inspector Burke en tered the room. Oh, you’re here, too.” he said, as his eyes fell on Dick. “That’s good! I wanted to see you. too.” Inspector Burke was, in fact, much concerned over the situation that had developed. He was a man of undoubted ability, and he took a keen professional pride In his work. He possessed the faults of his class, was not too scrupulous where he saw a safe opportunity to make a snug sum of money through the employment of his official authority, was ready to truckle to those whose influence could help or hinder his ambition. But, in spite of these ordinary defects, he was fond of his work and wishful to excel In it. Thus. Mary Turner had come to be a thorn in his side. She flouted his au thority and sustained her incredible ef frontery by a restraining order from the court. The thing was outrageous to him. and he set himself to match her cun ning. The fact that she had involved Dick Gilder within her toils made him the more anxious to overcome her in the strife of resources between them. After much studying, he had at last planned something that, while it would not directly touch Mary herself, would at least serve to intimidate her, and as well mtfke further action easier against her. It was in pursuit of this scheme that he now came to Gilder’s house, and the presence of the young man abruptly gave him another idea that might bene fit him well. So he disregarded Gilder's greeting, and went on speaking to the son. Dick's Eyes Flashed. "She’s skipped!" he said triumph antly. Dick made a step forward. His eyes flashed, and there was anger in his voice as he replied: “I don’t believe it.” The inspector smiled, unperturbed. "She left this morning for Chicago,” he said, lying with a manner that long habit rendered altogether convincing. ”1 told you she’d go.” He turned to tfie father, and spoke with an air of boast ful good nature "Now, all you have to do Is to get this boy out of the scrape and you’ll he all right.” "If we only could!” The cry came with deepest earnestness from the lips of Gilder, but there was little hope in his voice. The inspector, however, was confi dent of success, and his tones rang cheerfully as he answered. To be Continued To-morrow. T Air-Float Talcum Powder—bo ra ted, perfumed—guaranteed pure.

He was pale and puny; in his sleep he would roll and toss; in the morn ing hjs breath was bad, and during the day he was very nervous and constantly biting his finger nails or picking his nose. He was too young to, take, severe medicines and the parents were simply told, not ‘ to worry, because the child would get over its troubles as he grew older. But the parents did w'orry. They could not help it, seeing their child in such constant misery. They called at Coursey & Munn’.s Drug Store and obtained a treatment of Quaker Extract. The child was given this remedy regularly ac cording to directions, and the re sults came to light. He took one bottle and a half of the Extract, and expelled not one but a handful of small worms, some alive and some dead. These were the cause of the child's sufferings. and Quaker Extract, by removing the cause, cured the child. These worms were two inches long each. To-day the little fellow is happy as a lurk and his happiness is shared by his loving parents, his cheeks are red and rosy. The case again proves the powers of the wonderful Quaker Extract.
