A Bachelor’s Diary By MAX. He and Manette See the Suffragette Again, but Neither of Them Notices Her. J ULY 3.—It occurred to me. when Manette and I were tramping home that evening, after the militant suffragette had tried to hold me up. that there was a warning in the incident I look like a tramp, as she said, and Ma nette. in spite of her clothes, looks like a princess. What it is 1 can not define, hut one of her sex can never disguise the fact that she was born to purple and fine linen. She may outlive every natural grace and may be reduced to rags, but there Is always an indefinable something that tells of better things in the past. I looked at Manette critically as she I trudged ahead of me In the footpath, and thia Is what I saw: A little bare j head with a shock of curls just reaching to her shoulder, for we had bad her hair cut short before we left town, and the j growth was all new and untamed. She wore a blue gingham with half I the buttons off the l»ack. There were rents in it, and through one rent 1 caught a glimpse of an exquisitely trimmed petticoat, for Richards had re fused to let her darling wear the coarse muslin garments that were best fitted for the occasion. She wore half hose, with tan shoes from which her toes pro truded, and her little fat legs were scratched by briars and brambles. But one could toll by a glimpse that she was not an ordinary child, and 1 wondered if it was because of the proud little way in which she carried her head, | or because of her total unconsciousness j of self. “A born aristocrat.” I mur- j mured. Her Beauty. She looked up atjfne in laughter at* some prank of the pup, and 1 was struck more forcibly than ever with her most unusual beauty. It wasn’t altogether her hair and her eyas, her perfect fea tures and her exquisite coloring: there was a look of her soul shining through, and that is as near as 1 can express it. If you could see her, Diary, you would understand why I never look at the child without some apprehension. With her beauty and her money, sometimes I wonder if there are enough guardian an gels in heaven to keep all the evil- hearted away. The children that die young belong to us always. Nothing, and no one, may ever estrange them from us. They are ours forever, and that, alas, is some thing no one can say of the child that lives to grow up. There is comfort in the thought, and It is not the only comfort, for we learn as we grow older that the child that is gone is spared much, and is SAFE. I know life would be dreary and almost impossible without Manette, but every day 1 grow more reconciled to the loss of BUaabeth She was happy all her life. The little girl trudging along In the path ahead of me Is happy now, but I will not always be with her. I suppose It was this constant ap prehension that led me to call Mrs. Al len to the porch after supper and tell her that I am not the poor clerk she imagines, resting from overwork, but one of the detested millionaire class, resting from excessive luxury. I told her my name and she laughed 1 . She isad she had guessed it the second day. No one, she said, could look at Manette and think for a moment that she had been brought up In denial. She could not explain it. except that the child was always so unconscious of her clothes. “She rises above them,” she said, and Vt made me very proud. I have always had the theory—I won der how it will evolve that if Manette is accustomed to the best as a child, she will never strut like a peacock when she is grown. She will always be un conscious of her price marks. To the Manner Born. She will never build conversation on the price of her gown, nor attempt to erect pride and station on the coat of a hat. She will never, and of that I am sure, remember that her clothes cost more than the clothes of her associates and show it In her manner. 1 said some thing to this effect to Mrs. Allen, and her reply gave me a new' viewpoint “She won’t remember what things cost.” she said, somewhat dryly, "be cause she has never had to earn the price The girl who stints herself In necessities for a month that she may afford a $20 gown will never forget to the day of her death what the gown cost. Unconsciousness of clothes Is a good trait, hut Manette's unconscious ness will be largely due to ignorance. I When one pays the price, one remem bers.” % I did not seem to make her quite un derstand what J meant, and neither did | 1 understand her. I wanted, I explained, j for the child to grow up with a soul above ribbons. “And yet,” she replied, “whoever has charge of her wardrobe takes care that she has more ribbons than any child her age should have.” I agreed to that with a sigh When [ a little girl Is transformed by her years into a peacock, instead of a thinking. I helpful woman, it is her mother who Is to blame, never her father. Manette has no mother, but her nurse and her Aunt Sallie make her attire the Joy of their existence. I, who take the place of a father to her, would prefer that she never hear the subject ot her dress, but those who take the place of her mother make her attire the first consideration. That, Diary, is a fond weakness of all moth ers. ; I gave Mrs. Allen Mrs. Spencer’s ad dress and also that of Richards. "It has occurred to me." I said, "that If any thing happened to me, either address wiH he useful to you." She found considerable amusement in the thought of what an exodus to the woods there would be of young women If it were known that such a wealthy un attached bachelor were spending his summer there. "They would chase you harder," she said, “than the pup chases the rabbits.” The Most Exciting Serial of the Year. SERIALIZED By J. W. McCONAUGHY fCopy right, 1913, by Htar Co.)

Had T said it I would be mobbed. July 6—1 have not heard the last of that woman who thought I was a kid naper of children. She came riding to our picnic spot again to-day, and this time she rode alone. Manette and I were sitting on a log fishing. At least 1 was fishing. She had her shoes and stockings off, her lit tle skirts tucked up, ami was paddling around at the water’s edge, digging up soft black mud, which she carried to the shore and made into mud pies, a big log serving her as kneading board, or mixing board. I don’t really know if pies are mixed or kneaded. The suffragette tied her horse to a sapling and came to where we were thus occupied. I did not turn my head, and Manette, obeying whispered instruc tions from me, went on with her culi nary work without heeding her.

Meg (five yfears old, was overjoyed over the recent addition to the family and rushed out of the house to tell the news to a passing neighbor. “Oh, you don't know' what we've got in our house to-day?” “What is it?” “It’s a new baby brother!” “You don’t say so. Is he going to stay?” “I think so”—very thoughfully. “He’s got his things off.” * * * A farmer while loading hay in his field waa attacked by his neighbor’s bulldog.

Atlanta, Ga. To house nine English cows Mr. FYederick Underwood, the president of the Wisconsin Railroad, has built a luxurious barn at a cort of $16,000. There is shaded electric lights at the head of each manger and running water for drinking Colonel Benjamin Holmes, of Sum mit. N. Y., claims to have used one razor for 53 years. He estimates he has shaved himself with it 11,024 times. A Frenchwoman has been captured by Moorish tribesmen, and bargaining for her release is proceeding on the basis of $4 per hair of the captive's head. A woman's suffrage bill has been passed by the Illinois Legislature, and will become law next month. Liverpool, with 99 people to th-» acre, is the most thickly populated city in England* concealed himself in the angle by the picture of the old Don. Presently the faint swinging beams of a lantern were thrown down the corridor and there was the sound of soft footsteps and low voices. Jarvis raised his cocked pistol and covered the doorway as the shadows told him the Invaders were about to ap pear in view. Three figures appeared In the doorway and a girl’s voice, fa miliar to his ears, Haid: "There Is no one here, either. Your Highness.” The Prlnofcss and Dolores, with Maxi mo as their guide and light-bearer, came down the broad stairs into the hall. “We must go on. Dolores!” exclaimed the Princess in a strained voice. “We must find him before it's too late! Oh, I will never forgive myself for sending him to this dreadful place!" “But there’s a fire!" cried the vet eran. "They’ve been in this room!” “Perhaps’’—the Princess shuddered— "they have already been killed.” Her Brother Safe. Jarvis, ashamed for having listened ! too long and his heart beating with what he had heard, stepped forward into the light of the lantern. “Your Highness!” he exclaimed. The girl made a sound that was half a cry of alarm and half a prayer of thanks giving. and held out both hands to him. "Mr. Warren! Mr. Warren! ’jfehank God. you are still alive!" "Your Highness," he protested, still holding her hands. “It’s madness for you to come to this place! How did you get here?" "Heaven only, knows!" She shivered as If with the memory of her experi ences. "We have been wandering through this dreadful place for hours— calling to you—trying to find you before It was too late.” “Too late! What do you mean?” “My brother is safe—thank God!” “Where is he?” demanded Warren, quickly. "On his way to get help from the King." “Where has he been?" "Right here in this castle, a prisoner —since the day he entered.” “A prisoner?” “Yes. He succeeded in making his escape to-night and. has gone straight to the King for help?” “But how did you learn all this?” be Inquired, bewildered “From Robledo, senor,” answered Dbl- ores, as the Princess did not reply at once. The girl's voice was low and trembled slightly. “Your bullet went straight, senor. He is dying. He has confessed to the Holy Father. * I prom ised to be with him at the end.” She turned her face away and Jarvis saw that she was weeping. "The end?” he echoed vaguely—and then he understood. He walked over to her, stood beside her awkwardly, try ing to think of something to say. He found It difficult to apologize to a girl for killing her lover, especially when the lpver happened to need killing a lot. “Then—you—” he stammered, “I—I— didn't know'—I might have—I’m sorry-” Better So. The girl raised her tear-stained face and met his gaze bravely. “It is better so, senor,” she said. “Oh, Dolores—my poor child!” The Princess put her arms around the girl and she sobbed on her lady's shoul der. "Maximo, take her back To the inn as quietly as possible ” When they ware gone the Princess | “MR. WARREN!” "DON’T MOVE! YOUR HIGH NESS,” HE CRIED, RAISING THE WEAPON AND LEVEL ING IT AT THE OLD GRAN DEE. "I’VE GOT YOUR GHOST AT LAST!” HE RAISED HIS VOICE. “THERE IS SOMEONE BEHIND THAT PICTURE! COME OUT!—OR I’LL SHOOT YOU FULL OF HOLES!” urged Jarvis to follow. “Oh, Mr. Warren, let us leave this dreadful place!” “Not me, Your Highness,” was the grim and inelegant reply. “You go with them and wait for me at the inn.” The Princess shook her head deter minedly, though her face was pale and there were lines to tell of the long strain. “You can not persuade me again, Mr. Warren. I will remain.” “Please!” he begged, getting posses sion of her hands once more, and with out a struggle. “Return with us then.” “Your Highness,” he said gr® Vf> ly. “I promised to solve the mystery of this castle and to find the treasure. My task is an easy one now.” “Then,” she rejoined quickly, "I will share It with you.” He laughed silently at the neat man ner of the trap In which he was caught, but he looked down at her with some thing more than amazement in his eyes. “And you groped your way through this old castle to find me?” he said softly. "You are game!” The Princess raised her eyes to his. "You faced death perhaps, for me.” "You’re trembling'.” he cried with sudden concern. “Ybu’re frightened— you’re cold—your hands are cofctf*- Come over here.” He drew her to ward the dying blaze of the fire. ' You must have been scared to death crawl ing through the blackness.” She closed her eyes and shivered and he pressed the hands a little tighter than was necessary, if the object was merely to aid circulation. FOR A MOMENT THERE WAS INTENSE SILENCE. THEN: “DON’T SHOOT!” THE VOICE, A FAMILIAR ONE CAME FROM THE WALL —THE PICTURE SWUNG OUT IN ITS FRAME AND HIS EX ALTED HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF ALVA STEPPED DOWN ON TO THE FLOOR. that was somewhat like a far-off tree falling in the Vind. “What was that?" exclaimed the girl with a start. "Oh, that! That was Rusty,” he smiled. "That would frightem any one." “I figured that I might need a ghost,” he explained, pointing to the armored servitor, “but Rusty disobeyed orders. Rusty, I told you not to sneeze!" "Dat was somebody else, Massa War ren," was the solemn and unexpected protest. "I swears to goodness I didn't sneeze." Warren’s revolver was In his hand and a wild light of triumph in his eyes. "Mr. Warren!" "Don’t move! Your Highness," he cried, raising the weapon and leveling It at the old grandee, "I’ve got your ghost at last!" He raised his voice. "There is some one behind that pic ture! Come out!—or I’ll shoot you full of holes!” • Caught! The Sneeze. “Every nerve in my body' is on edge with the happenings of this dreadful place.” she confessed brokenly and tried In vain to keep back the tears. “Oh, don’t cry,” be pleaded in alarm, and then suddenly changed his tone to one at once light and tender: "Go on then—cry! Cry some more. Just for get that you are a princess and cry. That’s it—that’s fine! I’ll round up this spook to-nlgbt for good—and then the vassal’s task is done. His fate is in your hands. Highness." She ceased crying suddenly to look up into his face. "Don’t send me away," he begged. “I’ve loved you from the first and always shall love you. I’m nc Prince or Duke,” he added with whim sical pathos, “I’m just a plain man— and all the man in me cries out, '1 love you’—Don’t send me away!” He fedt her trembling and for an in' stant she seemed to lean against him. But she shook her head. “You must go.” "You’re going to send me away!” "Yes. You must leave Spain. Your life would not be safe here.” He drew a breath of relief that was like the wind In the forest. At the same moment there was another sou no For a moment there was intense si lence. Then: "Don’t shoot!" The voice, a familiar one, came from the wall—the picture swung out In Its frame and hls Exalted Highness, the Duke of Alva, stepped down on to the floor. The Princess smothered a cry of amazement and Jarvis smiled grimly. "Your Excellency, you are a long way from Madrid.” The Duke eyed him with contempt. “Madrid! You fool, you have fallen right into my trap!” He turned to the Princess with all the assurance of a protecting friend. "What I have done has been for your sake. Maria. I purposely deceived him so that I might get here ahead of him and watch. See,” he pointed to the mantel, “there are his tools and you yourself interrupted him at his work.” The consummate insolence and assur ance of his enemy almost daunted the young tnan.

Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. THEY ALWAYS TELL. Dear Miss Fairfax: Some time ago I was introduced to a young man whom I rather like. I have gone out to different places of amusement with him. Now, he ha.« often wanted to kiss me, but I wouldn’t allow him to. He is going out of town for some time and says he wants to kiss me before going. Shall I al low him to? L. M. No man should kiss and tell, but so many do that one little farewell kiss, given in the name of friendship, is sure to be mismnderstood and told of. Do you not know, my dear, that the kiss that is refused is always the sweetest? Refuse him and he will al ways want that kiss, and seek to win your love that he may have it. DON’T TRY.

On ttye contrary, It would serve as an incentive to them to make your ac quaintance. Instead of regarding your brother as an obstacle, be glad that you have a brother as devoted and kind.

HERE was no one whose faith in the printed word was great er than Daysey Mayme Apple ton’s. If, when sitting on the cool porcto at twilight, she caught a glimpse of a heading, “How to Keep Cool,” in the newspaper, she invariably went into the warm house, lighted the lamp and sat under its hot rays while she read it. Her father gave her a weekly al lowance, and with it she bought at least one, and sometimes two, books on How a Girl May Save Money. She didn’t save as much as the girls who hadn’t such faith in the printed word, but she didn’t see why. When her mother left her in charge of the kitchen for two weeks, she spent the first week’s allowance on books telling How to Feed Four on Six Dollars a Week, and had to a3k her father for more money the third day. And he was so unappreciative he grumbled about it! But all this faith Is now a thing of the dead, dead past. Daysey Mayme won’t believe anything she sees in print these days, if It Is nothing more than “Heat Before Serving” on a can of baked beans. The lost this beautiful faith through following the advice of the New York clergymen who have decided to de mand health certificates as a pre requisite to marriage. It would bo humiliating, she thought, to march up the church aisle in white silk and orange blossoms, and have the preach er refuse to perform the ceremony because a grandmother on the bride groom’s side once had a conniption fit. She would protect herself from this mortification by getting a clean bill of health before the altar was reached. She would make all necessary inqui ries during the courtship; that her best beloved could prove he was in perfect health she had no doubts. She had memorized forty-seven ad jectives expressive of admiration, and when her lover presented her with a box of candy she used forty • three on the first gumdrop. Such ap preciation delighted him, and he asked her to marry him. Surely a girl who could so highly appreciate a gum- drop would never underestimate th3 value of a man! Daysey Mayme’s first impulse was to grab him; then she remembered the printed word. “Was there ever one in your family who suffered from neurasthenia?” she esked. “Any dandruff, Bright’s dis ease, rheumatism, ricketts, glanders, autoxenia, bunions or corns? Have you or your ancestors ever had any thing cut out, and how much? Of what did your great-grandfather on your mother’s side die, and did ’’ But the young man heard no more. He gave one wild whoop and fled. “I’d have married him if he ha^t the whole doctor’s book ailing him,” sobbed Daysey Mayme, “and now tho other girls will never believe I had the chance.” THE EA-TONE LIVER LAXATIVE That tones the fiver, the best fiver and stomach remedy known.
