"He was looking fine, and he tells me that he Is making mnnny so fast rttelng short stories that he has all he can do to spend It all. Do you know, wife, Pa sed, I bellere t Will go in for short story rltedng. Corey sed It wasent hard, onst yon got started." It may not be very hard for MlsteT Corey, sed Ma, but rltelng Is a thing peenjl cant lern. It has to be born in them, sed Ma, the salm as poets & collectors are bom & not made. Anybody can be a collector, sed Pa. I doant see why you class them with poets. All a collector has to do Is to collect munny. I doant think that Is vary eesy, Ma sed. My father was a lawyer for a few years, Ma sed, unttl he found out that moast of his law blzness was to malk eolleckshuns, fk he newer had the hart to collect. He used to oa.1 on sumbody & wen the lady of the house wnd cry Pa wud go back to bis law offis & send the bill back to the oredltor & say that It was no good. Poor, deer father, he ts gone now. With his kind hart. Doant be all the time talking about yure relaehtons, sed Pa. Getting baok to this short-story thing, I reely meen that I am going In for It. Jest think how proud you wud be If yure nabors cud pick up the magaseen A see yure husband’s big nolm at the hed of short stories. You cud seven reed sum of the stories aloud to them, Pa sed, & think how proud you wud be to open my mall & see nice Mg checks from tbs different maga- zeens. , She Is Doubtfm. The check part of It, tlssens good, sed Ma, but you have blit so many cassels In Spain without ever having to buy any furniture for the cassels that I will naterally be a llttel du bious, Ma sed, until the checks oum rolling in. Oh. the checks win cum rotting to all rite, Pa sed. Doant worry about that part of it, & after thay cum rolling In we will put sum of them In the bank & we can send llttel Bobble to college & talk a trip to Europe every year. 'Won’t that be fine? It wud be fine to talk the trip to Europe every year, sed Ma, but I doant think we shud go to the expense of sending Bobble to college now. He knows too much as It is, Ma sed, & the munny that you wud lay out for tooitlon cud better be used by me to git up a nice lot of clothes to wars wen we are touring the Continent & the British lies. Of course, sed Ma, I you wuddent expeck me to go to Eu- ‘ rope with the few clothes I have now. I want you to he proud of yure llttel wife won you taik her abroad, Ma sed. I suppoas we can arrange all that, sed Pa. & send Bobbie to college, too. They Cost a Lot. I fear that we can not <?o both, sed Ma. . You know, deer, that women’s ' clothes cost a awful lot moar than thay used to. If you have yure hart so set on sending Bobble to college, Ma sed, I suppoas I can stay at hoam & not go to Europe. Oh, deer, sed Ma, I mite have known It. Then Ma beegan to cry. Thare, thare, deerest, sed Pa. Yes. I might have known it, Ma sed. Stay at hoam and see the sairn old cities oaver and oaver while Missus Black and Missus White are enjoying themselfs with thare husbands oaver In Europe. Thay go every year & you bet thay doant have to worry about what thay are going to ware, eether. Then Ma cried sum moar. If you go on like that, sed Pa, I won’t rite any short stories at all. Nobody wud print them if you rote them, sed Ma. I doant see why wimmen can’t be reesonabel like us men. Diamond Cut Diamond. In the days gone by they had been sweethearts; but, alas, hatred ts ever akin to love, and the relationship had changed In this case. One day the former lover had to make a business call on the girl’s father, and, of course, It so hap pened that she answered the door. "I beg your pardon,” said the young man, keeping his nerve In the trying circumstances remarkably well, "Miss Perkins, I think. Is your father in?” "No, he’s not, I’m sorry to say. Did you wish to see him personally?” asked the maiden, without the slight est sign of recognition showing In her eyes. "Yes; but It will do to-morrow. Thank you. I will call again! Good afternoon! ” , But this was too much. As he i reached the bottom step, the lady spoke: "Pardon me!

He Is sick In bed and the doctors advise him to leave the city for his health. He wants me to mar ry Mm before he leaves the city, and live with his parents, who like me very much. My parents object to the marriage. VIOLET R. There are many objections to Ms plan. You must not marry a man who Is In bod health; you must not marry until he can take you to a home of your own, and you must not marry when your parents object. Are not these enough? NO. r\EAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am nineteen and deeply In levs with a man of twenty-three. We were very lovable for a time, but a girl friend of mine changed his mind entirely by telling him he can get a rich girl with money Instead of a poor girl. Should I waste my time waiting for him? I love him and fear I can’t do without him. STELLA. You are wasting your time and emotion In caring for a man whose heart can be turned »o lightly. Don’t say you can not do without him.

S HE was about 19 and she wore a canoe shaped hat with one red rose dandling rakishly off the back of the brim. Her cheeks were as pink as a baby’s. The head- gear of her male companion had a lit tle bow at the rear. His trousers had cuffs at the ankles and he had not shaved often enough to have acquired the whitish-gray complexion of a grown up man. The two fell into the chairs at the little table in the con fectionery store and ordered choco late sodas with the exuberance of youth. “Goodness'!" said she, following with her red eyes a middle-aged couple who had entered and taken a table In a corner. “Shouldn’t you think when people were as old as that they would have got over raring for soda water and Ice cream ?” Pretty Old. “I should say so,” agreed the young man. His expression was distinctly pitying as he watched the newcomers. The man was getting portly, and while the woman’s hair was arranged in the latest mode it was sprinkled with gray and she had a decided matronly look. One could be certain that she had tucked all the children in bed before she and dad started for their evening stroll. “Wouldn’t you hate to be as old as that?” said the young man. “What do you suppose people find to enjoy in life at that age?” “Goodness knows!” said the pretty girl. “They can’t go to dances any more, and to have gray hair I should think would be perfectly awful! I read about a woman once who was a famous beauty and when she found her first gray hair she died of a broken heart. I know just how she felt!” “You’ll never get gray!” comforted the young man. “Not If you live to be 100. But I should think people like those over there would envy young folks like us when they saw them getting so much enjoyment out of life! Why. they aren’t even talking to each other only now and then! They’re just bored with existence. I don’t wonder!” “I should think,” said the pretty girl as she daintily poised her spoon and watched the persons under dis cussion, “that they’d feel kind of silly coming in here and ordering anything so Juvenile as sodas! It seems funny, somehow! You never think of old people liking such things!” “We’ll never be as old as that,” said he young man meditatively. “We won’t let ourselves get so old. I can’t imagine you getting old, anyway. You’ll always be Just as slim and girlish as you are now ” “And think of you as fat as that man.” She trilled with laughter. “I suppose they have grown so apathetic that they don’t care! Poor things!” Meanwhile the middle-aged man in FREE TO YOU-MY SISTER Free to You and Every Sister Suf fering from Woman’s Ailments. I am a woman. • I know woman'* suffering*. I have found the ours.

Fletcher, at the Sphinx Club din ner in New York, told an advertising story. “A man,” he said, “entered a shop one bitter cold day and bought a woolen muffler. When he opened the muffTler, he found Inside it the photograph of a beaut! 1 girl, together with a note say ing; “ *If you are single, please write to me.’ “A name and address followed, and the man smiled. He was single, and he put the photograph on his sitting room mantel. There, every evening, looking up from his book, he beheld It. It was very beautiful, and in a week he had fallen head over heels in love. “So he wrote to the girl. Another week passed, a week of anxious, nerve- racking suspense. Then the lovesick map received this crushing letter: *'’Sir: The Mary Smith to whom you wrote was mV grandmother. She dio4 nip® years ago, aged eighty-six.— Yours truly.’ “Our heart-broken bachelor, on look ing Ipto this strange matter, round that he had foolishly bought the muffler from a dealer who didn't advertise.” By MARVIN DANA from the Play by BAYARD VEILLER. TO-DAY‘S INSTALLMENT. Glider sighed resignedly. Hl» heavy face was lined with anxiety. There was a hestltatlon In hie manner of .speech that was wholly unlike its usual quick decisiveness. "I don’t like this sort of thing," he said, doubtfully. "I let you go ahead because I can’t suggest any alterna tive, but I don’t like it, not at all. It seems to me that other methods might be employed with excellent re sults without the element of treachery which seems to Involve me as well as you In our efforts to overcome this woman,” Burke, however, had no qualms as to such plotting. “You must have crooked ways to catch crooks, believe me," he said oheerfutly. “It's the easiest and the quickest way into trouble for them.” The return of the detectives caused him to break off, and he gave his at tention to the final arrangements of his men. "You're in charge here,” he said to Cassidy, "and I hold you responsi ble. Now, listen to this, and get It." His coarse voice came with a grat ing note of command. "I’m coming back to get this bunch myself, and I'll obH you when you’re wanted. You’ll wait in the storeroom out there and don't make a move till you hear from me, unless by any chance things go wrong and you get a call from Griggs. You know who he Is. He’s got a whistle, and he’ll use It If nec essary. • • * • Got, that straight?" And when Cassidy had declared an entire understanding of the directions given, he concluded concisely. "On your way, then!" He Turned to Gilder. As the men left the room, he turned again to Glider, “Just one thing more," he said. ’Til have to have your help a little longer. After I’ve gone, I want you to stay up for a half hour anyhow, with the lights burning. Do you see? I want to be sure to give the Turner woman time to get here while that gang Is at work. Your keeping on the Tights will hold them back, for they won’t come In till the house Is dark, so, in half an hour you can get off the Job, switch off the lights and go to bed and stay there—Just as I told you before.” Then Inspector Burke, having In mind the great distress of the man over the unfortunate entanglement of his son, was at pains to offer a reassuring word. "Don't worry about the hoy,” he said, with grave klhdlinoss. "We’ll get him out of this scrape all right." And with the assertion he bustled out, leaving the unhappy father to miser able forebodings. CHAPTER XVII. Outside the Law. G ILDER scrupulously followed the directions of the Police In spector. Uneasily, he had re mained In the library until the al lotted time was elapsed. He fidgeted from place to place, his nrlnd heavy with distress under the shadow that threatened to blight the life of his cherished son. Finally, with a sense of relief he put out the lights and went to his chamber. But he did not follow the further directions given him, for he was not minded to go to bed. In stead, he drew the curtains closely to make sure that no gleam of light could pass them, and then sat with a cigar between his lips, which he did not smoke, though from time to time he was at pains to light It. His thoughts were most with his son, and ever as he thought of Dick, his fury waxed against the woman who had enmeshed the boy In her plotting for vengeance on himself. And into his thoughts now crept a doubt, one that alarmed his sense of Justice. It occurred to him that this woman could not have thus nourish ed a plan for retribution through the years unless. Indeed, she had been Insane, even as he claimed—or inno cent! The idea was appalling. lie could not bear to admit the pos sibility of having been the involun tary lnflicter of such wrong as to send the girl to prison for an offense she had not committed. He rejected the suggestion, but it persisted. He knew the clean, wholesome nature of his son. It seemed to him incredible that the boy could have thus given hts heart to one altogether undeserving. A horrible suspicion that he had misjudged Mary Turner crept Into his brain, and would not out. He fought It with all the strength of him, and that was much, but ever It abode there. He turned for comfort to the things Burke had said. The woman was a crook, and there was an end to it Her ruse of epollatlon wltbtn the law was evidence of her shrewdness, nothing more. source of the father's suffering wal hers as well. She had won her am bition of yeare—revenge on the man who had sent her to prison. And now the Joy of ft was a torture, for the puppet of her plans, the son, had sud denly become the chief thing In her life. She had taken, it for granted that he would leave her after he came to know that her marriage to him was only a device to bring shame on his father. Instead, he loved her. That fact seemed the secret of her distress. He loved her. More, he dared believe, and to assert boldly, that ehe loved him. Had ho acted otherwise, the matter would have been simple enough. • • • But ne loved her. loved her still, though he knew the shame that had clouded her life, knew the motive that had led her to accept him as a husband. Mom —by a sublime audacity, he declared that she loved him. There came a thrill In her heart each time she thought of that—that she loved him. The Idea was mon strous, of course, and yet— Hem as always she broke off, a hot flush blazing In her cheeks. * * • Nev ertheless, such curious fancies pusp sued her through the hours. Sb* strove her mightiest to rid herself ol them, but In vain. Ever they persist ed. She sought to oust them by thinking of anyone else—of Aggie, of Joe. There at last was satisfaction. Her Interference between the man who saved her life and the tempta tion of the English crook had pre vented a dangerous venture, which might have meant ruin to the one whom she esteemed for his devotion to her, if for no other reason. At least, she had kept him from the out rageous folly of an ordinary burglary. To Be Continued Monday. Blamed the Farming.
