TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT.
Something gripped Allan’s heart
like a steel band.
“You do not mean to say that the
public opinion of the world would tol
erate the utter abandonment of the
enterprise after all the money and ef
fort that has gone into it?” he cried.
Lloyd nodded slowly.
“What I mean to say is something
very much to that effect.” he replied,
gravely. "I do not know—I do not
think that it will always be so: but
that is undoubtedly the feeling to
day.”
“But I can’t believe it!” Allan in
sisted.
“Yet, the explanation is simple and
clear,” said Mr. Lloyd. “Until the tun
nel is actually completed and in op
eration it is a money-devouring lia
bility and in no sense an asset. We
have had stroke after stroke of bad
luck. There is a sort of superstition
in many minds that the tunnel will
never be finished, no matter how
much is put in or how much money
is sunk.”
“But I don't see how we can be sure
of this without at least making the
effort!”
“There is some Justice in that,” con
ceded the financier, "but I can assure
you that you can take my word for
what I say. Here is one of the best
indications—there is no trading at .ill
in Tunnel securities.”
The expression of Allan’s face in
dicated that he did not understand
how this proved anything.
“You see, Mr. Allan, there are a
number of men who make a good liv
ing on the Stock Exchange—fortunes
often—by determining accurately
■what public opinion is on a given
matter. Now, if there were any re
mote possibility that the public would
demand a resumption of the tunnel
digging or that the public could be
induced to finance it, these men would
be quietly buying up securities, which
have practically no market value to
day.
The Reason.
“Men who have the securities now
are for the most part Investors, not
speculators. They have not sold them
to the speculators, simply because
the speculators won’t buy at any
price. To get rid of them they wou»i
literally have to give them away. Sd
there is no trading in tunnel stock
at all.”
“But if we began operations on the
smaller scale that-I suggested—if
among the big financiers we could
raise the money necessary for a start,
wouldn’t it turn the current of public
opinion in our favor again?” demand
ed Allan.
“On the contrary,” returned the
other, “if the people’s money is to
build the tunnel the people’s money
must do it. To raise a sum—no
matter how large—for limited work
would be a transparent bluff, a con
fession of weakness. We must either
go ahead at full blast—or stand still.”
“And it is not possible to go ahead
at full blast?”
“I am sorry to say that it is quite
impossible,” declared Lloyd.
Allan was silent for a full minute
trying to rally his line of attack,
hopelessly shattered by this blow.
“What do you think of it yourself,
Mr. Lloyd?” he asked at last. “Do
you believe in the tunnel?”
“Absolutely,” was the Instant re
ply. “I more than believe in the tun
nel, Mr. Allan—I believe in you. But
the public, unfortunately, does not.
And we must wait—wait.”
It was on the tip of Allan’s tongue
to say something about faith with
out works, but he wisely held him
self in. He knew Lloyd and his as
sociates could finance the whole of
the work that remained to be done, if
they were willing to risk their pri
vate fortunes; but he could not sug
gest this plan; the offer must come
voluntarily from their side.
*****
The conference with Lloyd was
held on a November evening. Two
days later Allan wont quietly to
Europe, despair in his heart. His
goings and comings were unnoted
save for an occasional line or two in
a metropolitan paper. New names
and new enterprises were before the
world. MacKendree Allan was as
dead a.«* his tunnel. In the spring he
returned to Tunnel City, but no one
paid any attention to the fact. This
is a little less than the truth. One
person noted the fact with much in
terest. She was Ethel Lloyd.
Her father ha. spoken to Allan of
h1s daughter’s admiration for him.
This strange, beautiful and powerful-
minded young woman did not think
of her feeling for Allan as admira
tion. It was characteristic that she
was honest with herself, though hon
est with others, sometimes, only when
it suited her convenience. She knew
that she loved him. She also knew,
with the sublime egoism of*the truly
great, that the man she loved could
not have in him the elements of fail
ure. She was certain that Allan
would build the tunnel as she was of
the tides and the sunrise. If he need
ed her help, that was only a part of
the plan. The big thing was that
somehow, some way, he would win.
T HERE was much of the primi
tive in Ethel Lloyd. She did
not rise to the heights of all-
sacrificing love In her love for Allan.
She loved him and she wanted him;
she plaved accordingly. At the same
time she knew that he did not love
her. She felt that he cared more for
her than any living woman, but she
knew it was not love.
No Reply.
She waited a few weeks longer for
him to call, but he gave no sign that
he was even alive. Then she wrote
him a cordial note, saying that she
knew he had returned, hoped that he
would have called on them by this
time and asked him to come to see
them.
There was no reply. She was at
first shocked, then angry and then
amused. Then she ordered her fa
ther’s private detective agency to find
out positively if Allan was in Tun
nel City and what he was doing
there.
The report was that Allan was
working every day in the tunnel. He
lived in absolute seclusion and did
not receive a single visitor of any
sort or for any purpose. He could
not be reached only through O’Mal
ley, and as O’Malley had orders that
he was not to be reached at all, this
was not much nelp. A love of adven
ture stirred in her. Allan had made
up his mind not to see her. Very well
—she would see him in spite of him
self.
From the detectives she learned
the hour when Allan was always to
be found In the administration build
ing—that Is to say, he was there, but
not to be found. She motored down
to Tunnel City and timed her visit
carefully, so as to reach the admin
istration building when Allan would
certainly be in.
Dressed in a magnificent motoring
costume, she presented herself before
the impassive O'Malley. She had seen
him at the time of Allan’s trial and
knew' him by reputation, but he had
never been presented. He, of course,
knew' her by sight, and when sha
came into his office he rose and
bow'ed w'ith the greatest courtesy.
“You are Mr. O’Malley?’’ she smiled
sweetly upon him. “I am Ethel Lloyd.
I feel that I know you—have know'n
you for a long time.” And 6he held
out her hand.
O’Malley, who, though an Irishman,
did not pride himself on his ease with
women, mumbled some reply to the
compliment and asked with some un
easiness:
“Is there anything I can do for you,
Miss Lloyd?”
“Indeed, you can!” she assured him,
with a bubbling laugh. “I am very
anxious to see Mr. Allan.”
A Fib.
O'Malley looked more uncomfort
able than ever.
“I am very sorry. Miss Lloyd, but
Mr. Allan la not here Just now,” he
said.
The young woman expressed a sur
prise that was not all feigned.
“I think you must be mistaken, Mr.
O’Malley. I had definite assurance
that Mr. Allan would be here at this
hour."
It was very cleverly worded. It im
plied that she had an appointment with
Allan, but did not say so in as many
words. For an Instant she believed
that O’Malley w'ould fall into the trap,
but he did not.
“I’m very sorry," he said again,
“but there must be some mistake
about it. Mr. Allan isn’t here."
He did not know that the visitor
knew he was lying, but the expres
sion of her great eyes was enough to
add to his embarrassment without
that knowledge.
“But I am certain,” she said slowly
and with sudden coldness, “I am cer
tain that he must be here."
“I can not compel you to believe
me, Miss Lloyd." he said, with some
coldness on his side. ‘‘But I can not
produce Mr. Allan when he is not
here.”
“Where is he?” she demanded sud
denly.

CHINESE DREAMS complete short stort
“L
i ’
ITAIPL, the poet, has fallen a
4 victim to the moon!”
When the mandarin had
pronounced these strange words, he
rested his chin in his hand.
A victim of the moon? In India,
I have heard, moonstrokes are con
sidered worse than sunstrokes, and
that when you walk in the garden in
the evening you always carry a
moonshade. Was this what the man
darin meant? I was waiting to hear.
But my august friend, the man
darin, began to sway back and forth
rhythmically while he sang these
verses:
“The moon ascends to the heart of
the nocturnal sky and rests there
filled with love.
“Across the shining sea glides the
soft evening breeze and kisses the
delighted waves.
“Oh, what beautiful harmonies
arise from the meeting of elements
created to unite!
“But the things created to unite so
very seldom do unite.”
How? Has not the music of poetry
been forgotten in China? Has not
the lyre of the Chinese Orpheus been
broken? Alas! it is only too true.
Even in China nobody dreams any
more. The bacchantes of progress
rush by and disturb the careless
dreamer who looks behind him in the
moonlight.
“There Is a way of reaching even
the moon,” he murmured.
“Who ever reached there?”
The Legend.
A wizard, or rathe* a saint, had
long been dwelling at court. One
beautiful summer night, when the
full moon was bathing the landscape
in its silvery light, the Emperor, who
was walking with the saintly man,
admired the bewitching light which
fell on the leaves glittering with the
diamonds of the dew and on the rush
ing river and the foaming cascades.
Then he looked up at the twinkling
stars and! sighed because they were
so far away, so beautiful and still so
unattainable. His companion, who
guessed his thoughts, said to him;
“Do you want to rise with me to the
moon?”
The Emperor looked at him for a
moment In surprise and then said: “I

understand what you want to say.
Your Intellect, which is superior to
my common mind, is able to fly ahead
of me on the paths of thought, hut to
lengthen the fetters is not the same
as to set the prisoner free, and we
shall not get very far.”
“Oh, Lord, you do not understand
me at all,” the wizard exclaimed; I
mean that we are to fly up to the
moon fully conscious ^ of everything
that we meet and see.”
“I will not permit even a saint to
mock me,” said the Son of Heaven.
But the saint slowly opened his fan.
threw it up Into the air and sail'
“Look that way.”
The fan remained suspended in tne
air and the creases of the paper
formed a stairway which reached all
the way up to the moon. The Em
peror threw up his hands in amaze
ment.
The Ascent.
“Have you the courage to accom
pany me now? A ruler must be de
void of fear, and, besides, the stairs
are broad and comfortable.”
The saint already I climbed over
the railings of the pavilion; he held
out his hand to the Son of Heaven,
who followed him, and almost with
out any effort they began to ascend.
Soon they had passed the palace
walls, the three glittering streams,
the eight branches of the river which
surrounded the walls of the city.
Shortly afterward the city disap
peared in the distance. More and
more indistinct mountains, plains and
cities passed by the wanderers, who
kept on ascending, bathed in light.
“What part of the country is under
neath us now?’’ asked the Emperor,
looking down.
“We are passing the frontier of
Tientschi,” said the saint; “the moun
tains of the west are disappearing,
and now we are above another prov
ince.”
“I know very well that I am dream
ing,” said the Emperor, “and still It
seems to me that I am awake. What
I see is only a dream picture, but to
morrow vou will try to persuade me
it was real and that I did not dream
at all. But how will you prove it to
me?” _
“Have you anything with you, O
Lord, the like of which nobody else
possesses V
“In my 1 belt I have two gold coins;
they were coined at the mint this
morning, and there are no others like
them in the world.”
The Coins.
“Now I know exactly above which
part of your empire we are. We will
throw the two gold coins down the
stairs, and we will surely find them
again.”
The next morning when the Em
peror awoke in his palace
“What! Does the story end thus?
What about his arrival in the moon
and the wonderful things he saw?”
“Alas, I did not accompany them
on the voyage,” said the mandarin.
“All I can tell is that the gold coins
were found more than 100 Chinese
miles from the city, but I am told
that In the moon all the dreams of
the poets have been realized and that
their beauty surpasses all understand
ing.”
“But can not you tell at least how
Litaipe was destroyed by the moon?”
“Oh, everybody knows that. One
evening poet ate his evening meal
on the i. r. The air was unusually
clear and the water so transparent
that you could not see it at all. Far
down in its depths the moon was
glistening just as the sky, and there
were as many stars below as above.
Litaipe leaned over the edge of the
boat and stared longingly down into
the depth. 'In the unknown.’ he said,
‘there is neither height nor depth.
The moon is calling me, and tells me
that when I reach it, it does not mat
ter whether I go up or down.’ At
this moment a wonderful harmony
filled the air. a breeze floated across
the river and two young gods carry
ing silken banners stood before the
poet. They had been sent from the
ruler of the Heaven to conduct him
to his place in the heavenly regions.
A dolphin came swimming up to the
boat, and Litaipe mounted its back
and, preceded by the diving youths,
he slowly vanished in the deep.”
“Perhaps your great poet was sim
ply intoxicated and fell into the
river.”
The august mandarin shook his
head as if he did not hear, and a fur
row of sorrow came upon his fore
head. The airy foam of the cham
pagne had vanished, and with it the
images of a beautiful past.
A cloud passed across the moon.
Will It open? Will the fan of the
wizard once more form a broad stair
way to the luminous disc? The moon
which science now brings within a
few meters distance is no longer the
moon of the poets, the dreams of
imagination fly before the dissecting
knife of the scientist. And with Li
taipe we must in the depths of the
river look for all the beautiful images

A Talk to the Engaged Girl
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
W HAT shall a girl say when she
receives an engagement ring?
■ Well, now, what do you
think of a question like that?
Who gave you the ring, little sis
ter, and what did you think when he
gave it to you? Do you love him,
were you so happy you could scarcely
breathe?
Well, then, wily didn’t you say so,
and be done with it?
What ahall you say, how shall you
act; is this proper, is that right?
The heaft is the best Judge when
it comes to things like this.
What have you done to your heart
—frozen it up solid, reading a lot of
stuff about what is “the proper thing”
and “what isn’t done,” and who ought
to speak first and who must never,
never say a word though the whole
world be hanging in the balance?
Etiquette—what etiquette is there
about being engaged?
What do you think you'll do when
you come to die—ask some one to
read an etiquette book to tell you
how to shut your eyes and bid fare
well to this vain world?
When they put your first baby in
your arms, how in the world will you
know how to act unless some Mrs.
Grundy is there to tell you?
What! Shocking! Oh, yes. of
course, babies are dreadfully shock

lots and lots of things, but they are
real Just the same. And so, why

HERE you are, Sis, that is
Ronald Clavering, the tall
chap with the bronzed face

Cecelia Traver® looked across the
room, and at that moment the deep gray
eye® belonging to the bronzed face met
hers. Cecil, a® she was familiarly
called, blushed and turned away, and
her usually well-regulated heart beat
violently.
“Isn’t he a fine looking chap?” pur
sued Jack Traver®. “And he Is Just as
splendid as he looks, the bravest and
most daring aviator In England. And
he won the ”
“I know everything he has done,” In
terrupted hi® sister eagerly. “He Is
Just grand, and I’ve always longed to
see him."
This was Cecil’s twenty-first birth
day, and Mrs. Denton, Cecil’s aunt, was
giving a dinner party in her honor.
She now came over to them.
“Jack, will you take Miss Marsh in
to dinner? Cecil, dear, I have paired
you off with Mr. Clavering. I know
you are crazy about aviation, though
I don’t suppose you will get him to say
much about his own exploits. He is so
terribly modest 1”
Cecil looked up rather resentfully at
her companion. She told herself she
hated him, and felt angry that his voice
and a glance from his eyes had power
to set her heart beating furiously and
make her blush like a flapper. And
Ronald Claverlng. the woman hater,
found himself watching her sweet face
with more than ordinary Interest. Find
ing how enthusiastic she was about the
navigation of the air, he patiently an
swered her many questions, and ex
plained all he could to her..
A few days later Cecil sat sketching,
and. an she worked, one face would come
between her and her drawing board—a
bronzed face, with deep, gray eyes. An
angry little frown puckered her fore
head..
“I hate him—I do!” she said to her
self.
“What Is It, Jack?”
At last she pushed her work impa
tiently away, and sat staring dreatnily
before her. A sudden exclamation from
Jack, who was® reading the paper, made
her look up..
“What Is It, Jack!”
“You remember Mr. ("Havering who
took you in to dinner on your birth
day?”
Cecil’s cheeks burned at the mention
of the man who had been filling her
thoughts.
“Yes, I remember him. Well, what
about him?”
“Oh, it only says here that he Is going
to take passengers for flights at $50
each from Seaham aerodrome this aft
ernoon, and each day this week, the
money to go to a fund for the widows
and children of the heroes of that ter
rible mine disaster.” Cecil glanced up.
her heart beating rapidly. “Then I’m
going up with him,” she said firmly.
• • •
The afternoon proved dull and rather
rough, and not many people seemed
anxious for aerial hogors. though very
large crowds had assembled when Jack
and Cecil appeared.
On account of the contrariness of the
wind It was late before they made a
start. Cecil’s heart throbbed with a
wild excitement as she took her place
In the machine with seeming calmness.
There was a deafening noise from the
engine, and then the monoplane rose
with the grace ond swiftness of a bird.
At first Cecil felt as though she must
scream for it seemed as if the breath
was being forced out of her body and
she must surely die.
But that feeling soon passed off and
a sense of glorious exhilaration took its
place as they rose higher and higher,
till the cheering waving crowd® became
mere specks below them. Soon they
had risen sufficiently high, the wind
dropped and they went out over the
water.
“All right?" shouted Clavering. And
Cecil called back:
“Yes. It’s fine.”
On they went, skimming through the
ah-, high above the tossing waters;
then suddenly.they seemed to get caught
In a wind eddy, and the plane swung
right around.
“Keep calm—hold tight!" roared
Claverlng; and Cecil saw that the
bronzed face was set and anxious.
For some time they fought a grim
battle with the blustering wind; then
r-ame a short, sharp exclamation from
Ronald, a - Jarring of the machinery,
and the aeroplane rocked violently.
Something was evidently very wrong,
but a calm, cool courage took pos-
osslon of Cecil. Now was the time to
how that women have grit as well as
men!
“The steerinr gear’s gone wrong!”
shouted Claverlng. wondering how
rjuch he should tell his passenger.

drifting.
The aviator looked at her admiringly.
A sudden downward swerve stopped
iny further conversation, and for a
ong time Claverlng was busily en
gaged doing his best to control the
ieroplane. which tossed about at the
nercy of the wind. Cecil was getting
cold and cramped 8he knew they
must have been In the ah* a long time,
for darkness was threatening to set in;
yet, strangely enough, she felt no fear,
though she was sure they were drifting
to death, but ahe did not care what
happened so long as that stern, brave
figure was with her.
Ah, how little she had thought her ad
venture would turn out like this! Sha
had Intended to get home quickly, un
observed, ddrectly she found herself back
In the aerodrome grounds; and now
“We are nearing the land!" Claver
ing’s voice broke In on her reverie*
“There is a chance after all "
The rest of hla sentence was carried
away by a violent gust of wind which
tossed them about; then Cecil saw the
long, low line of the shore. The plane
made a swift, vicious swoop. They were
falling!
“Look out!" she heard RonaJd’e short,
sharp word®. Then came a terrific
crash. She struggled hard not to lose
consciousness as she mw Clavering
standing over her and heard his voice:
“Saved by a miracle! I came down
as gently as I could. Are you hnrtT"
he asked anxiously, as she did not
speak, and he helped her gently to her
feet. “You’re a brick, Miss Travers! If
you had not kept up your courage so
splendidly I might have lost my m
nerve.”
Cecil blushed deeply, as she recovered
consciousness, to find herself In Claver
ing’s arms.
“Ah, that's better! What a fright you
have given me!” he exclaimed. Sha
tried to sit up, but he still held her.
“Take It easy—you’d best keep quiet
a bit. The shock ha§ been too much
for you. And I will get you homo di
rectly you are able.”
His clasp of her tightened, and there
was no mistaking the emotion In his
voles. Cecil looked up Into the gray
eyes, no % longer stern, but with an ex
pression of wonderful tenderness in their
depths, and suddenly, she scarcely knew
why, she burnt Into a passion of tears.
And Claverlng felt that he loved her for
her weakness, even as he had admired
her for her courage.
“Dear little girl, what is the matter?”
he whispered gently.
“I—I had no right to do ft," she
sobbed. “What must you think of me?”
But It was nearly a fortnight later
when he told her what he really
thought. And now the famous aviator’s
charming wife accompanies him on most
of hi® wonderful flights, but he often
teases her about the first one.

Mineral Springs, Ark.—In a letter
from this place, Mrs. J. M. Rivera
says: "If it had not been for Cardul.
the woman’s tonic, no doubt, I would
have been in my grave.
‘T was sick all of the time for 10
years, and took medicines constantly.
I suffered terribly. At last, I decided
I would Just try Cardul on my own
hook, and kept It a secret. It waui
certainly a God-send to me. Since
taking it I have no pain whatever,
feeling good, and can wrestle with my
16-year-old son. In fact, I don’t feel
over 16 myself. Am as happy as a
lark. When I begun taking Cardul I
only weighed 101 lbs. Now I weigh
117 1-2 lbs., and am going to continue
taking Cardul until I weigh 135.
“I just can’t say enough for Cardul,
and I belive if all women who suf
fer from womanly troubles would
take it, there would be more happy
homes.”
Using Cardul Is no experiment. It
has stood the most severe of all tests
—the test of time. Cardul has been
in use for over half a century, and
In this time has benefited more than
a million women. It Is composed of
purely vegetable lngredignts, which
have been found to build up the vi
tality, tone up the nerves, and
strengthen the womanly constitution.
That it has helped others Is the
best of proof that it wiU help you,
Try Cardul.
