He felt the foil of a live oppo nent now ami suspected that this oppo nent was the tall, fair-haired girl. He could not read her plans or aims, hut he telt that a contest was still on- and tor a tremendous prize. So he was not unduly surprised when .Miss Lloyd ap- Ireared in his office at Tunnel City one day, smiling and cordial. He had not seen her for weeks.. She snook hands with him without the slightest trace of embarrassment. Allan was bitterly disappointed. “I m so glad that 1 found you in,” she said, with a dazzling smile. “Then we both have a reason to re joice,” he returned lightly. “That is very gratifying.” declared the girl. “Not the compliment, I mean- hut the fact that you haven’t gotten entirely out of the way of paying them occasionally. Father and I were afraid you were going back to your hermit life when you came down here again.” “I'm too busy,” he assured her. “While there’s hope there's life.” “Bravo!” she^ cried. "There is always hope, isn’t there? And. speaking of that, father wants me to ask you to come to dinner with us to-morrow evening and go to a concert—if you think you can stand the music.” “I’m sure I could,” he returned. “It isn’t the dread of the music that would make me hesitate. But I might say further that while there’s hope there's work.” She pouted ever so little. “Oh, surely, Mr. Allan, the work can get along without j’ou for a few hours.” ”1 don't know,” he said, doubtfully. “Don’t think I’m insensible to your kindness. Miss Lloyd, but really things are very pressing here Just now. and if you and your father will not be of- • fended I would like to ask to be ex cused this once.” She tudied ihs face for a moment. She P it certain that it was not work that was keeping him away. “You're quite certain you won’t be able to arrange things so you can get away?” "Well.'' he hesitated, "if you’can hold the invitation open I'll do my best. W ould 4 o'clock to-morrow be tyolate?” “By no means,” she assured him, generously. “I’ll call you up at 4 sharp.’ * 1 The next day at 4 Allan regretted over the telephone that he could not possibly come to the city. A Last Chance. Allan had considerable pride of his own. He had determined that he would not appeal to Lloyd again excepting as an absolutely last resort and then only when convinced that there was no fur ther prospect of advances from that side. He had one more desperate card to play—an appeal to the Federal Gov* ernmeht. He had no difficulty In obtaining all the hearings he could desire with any man whom he wished to approach. He remained in Washington three weeks, but at the end of that time he was convinced that there was not the slight- HER STATEMENTS DESERVE NOTICE Mrs. Walls Makes Public Seme Interesting Facts Which Should Interest All Women. - ur.ment would take over the enterprise. He returned to Tunnel City and worked up an adroit scheme of procedure which he sub mitted to Yanderstyfft one night at his club. Vanderstyffe was vastly inter ested and promised to take it up with Wittersteiner and others. “W ittersteiner thinks it’s a wonder, Allan,” Vanderstyfft told/ him, "and so do the rest of us. But no one will stir a foot or put up a nickel without Lloyd. It s the same old game, Allan. When ‘L’ goes in they are afraid to stay out. \\ hen he stays out they are afraid to go in.” Then Allan decided to attack Lloyd once more. Ethel was not visible when lie called, but the old financier re ceived him with every mark of regard and consideration. Allan decided to tell him boldly and baldly everything that he had atempted and demand a definite answer. If this should be unfavorable, he would abandon the tunnel, burn his plans, and retire to the wilderness lo hunt and flsb "I could have told you the answer you would get if you had taken the trouble to be frank with me, my boy.” said tlie old man. “The Washington Govern ment and Vanderstyfft and his friends told you the plain truth. It isn’t that they couldn't handle the thing from this time on, possibly, without me. But they don t dare risk it. My coming In means so much in ^he way of advertising, and, after all, in the last analysis, we will have to use the public’s money in some shape or form, and we have to have the public on our side.” “'Well, what do you say, Mr. Lloyd?” asked Allan quietly. 'I he financier appeared to reflect for a morpent. "I suppose—1 gather—that you came here for a final and definite answer?” “Yes.” Disappointing- News. “Well, if I am compelled to give that answer now it would have to ‘No.’ Wait—don't interrupt. I say if I were compelled to give a definite an swer now.. All my impulses and inclina tions urge me to give you the answer you seek, Mr. Allan, but my judgment tells me that it would not be wise. I can not answer for nex* month, or even next week. Many things can happen that time.” 4 4 T DON’T wish to appear to be a<- J cusing you of playing fast and loose, Mr. Lloyd,” he said, "but i I can not see what is to be gained by further delay.” “Nor can I." returned the older man with a little smile. “The great thing, Allan, is public confidence. So soon as we see unmistakable signs that we have J some measure of that on our side th< rest is easy.” “But how can we do an y thing U> learn “Now you have me!" declared Mr. Lloyd, with a faint twinkle n Ips eye. “Do you thin c you can. trust me—for a Leinarts, Tenn.—Mrs. Martha Walls, of this town, makes the following statements for publication: “I feel it my duty to tell you what your medi cine, Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done for me. “For four (4) years’, I suffered terri bly with womanly troubles, and I found no relief in different medicines which I took. Finally, I began to take Cardui, the woman's tonic, and after taking six bottles I am completely cured. I feel like a different person altogether.

Allan made a wry face, but he smiled. “Very well,” he said. Four nights later there was a Hdg symphony concert —the big musical event of the year. Just before the music began there was a marked stir in the house. Ethel Lloyd, wearing the famous Rosy Diamond and the Lloyd rubies, entered the Lloyd box and fier escort was -MacKendree Allan! there was a gasp around the “horseshoe,” and a further excitement when “Old Lloyd” himself entered a few minutes later. A Surprising Event. Next day the New York papers men tioned the fact and gave it some promi nence. Nowhere was the incident dis cussed with greater interest than in the financial district. Allan and Miss Lloyd out together twice within the same week! The following afternoon, there was a little timid trading in Tunnel se curities. And old Lloyd smiled a cyni cal smile when he noticed it. Twice in the following week Allan was observed as the escort of Miss Lloyd in places where observation could not well be avoided. Then a New York paper more than hinted in a column “story” on the front page that Allan and Miss Lloyd were engaged. Tunnel^ shares rose 7 points In an hour on the Stock Exchange, and the whole financial world of five continents began to stir and bubble. Allan was white with rage when the newspaper article came to hiS attention. His first impulse was to go to that newspaper office and wreck it; and then he reflect ed that it was not exactly gallant to make too strong an exhibition of anger over a report of an engagement to an altogether charming and desirable girL Instead, Ije hurried off to see Miss Lloyd. To his amazement the young woman only laughed. “My dear. Mr. Allan,” she said, “J should think that you had been in the newspapers long enough to get used to things of this sort. 1 have, anyway. Of course, I know that you didn’t have anything to do with it, and of course i want you to deny it as emphatically as you. I will, too, as soon as I can get hold of a few of those reporters.” To Be Continued To-morrow. Precocious Baby. A university professor who has greatly endeared himself to his students on account of his kind- heartedness. has one particular fail ing—that of absent-mindedness. He visited his married nephew a few days ago and had listened to the young wife’s praise of her firstborn. The gentleman felt that he must say something to give the impression that he was interested. “Can the dear little fellow walk?" lie inquired quietly. “Waik?" shouted the mother. "Why. lie has been walking for five months!” "Dear me!” exclaimed the proces sor lapsing again into abstraction. "What a long way iie must have got!” ft TIN has got lots of pet naims for /■ thare wifes, but lots of times month, say? j thay doant choose the naims ^ es> said Allan, reluctantly. i very good. 1 have herd sum of the “Good! ^ou a*e under my orders, j married men with cums to our house You are to forget all about the tunnel call thare wifes Littel Pearl & the wife for 30 days.

I dident I see her at first, beekaus I was in the library wen Pa brought Mister Heming way in, he was talking to Pa & getting a cigar wile his wife was In the diner room talking to Ma. Yes, sed Mister Hemingway, wen a man has traveled the pace & had all the variety thare is. he decides that thare is nothing like a butiful hoatn life, so he marries sum good littel gurl that is his pal & Comforter. Now, sed Mister Hemingway, wen I married The Kid she knew I was a man of the world. & site took me as such. The Kid & me understand each other perfeckly, & she leens on me & reelies on my strong arm for proteckshun & suppoart. 1 thot to myself that The Kid must be awful littel & helpless, beekaus Mis ter Hemingway wasent vary strong looking. He only wayed about a hun dred & ten pounds, & he was kind of oald & feeble looking. The Kid understands me, he sed to Pa. She knows that eeven the wildest of men malks the best husbands wen thay get married & settel down. 1 sup pose yure wife is the salm as The Kid. No, sed Pa. thare isent vary much of that clinging trust-fulness about my wife. It is true that I used to sport around a lot wen I was singel, Pa sed, but my wife newer took It for granted that 1 changed into another man the minnit I got married. To be perfectly candid about it. Pa sed, she watches me up a littel to this day, & every onst in a while, wen I have been out too lait, I have to use all my elloquens to maik her beeleeve that I was rite at the lodge rooms all of the time. O, The KM wud newer think of tell ing me anything about my conduck, sed Mister Hemingway. Now that we have finished our cigar, I want you lo meet her. So we went in the other room to meet Mister Hemingway's wife. I thought she was going to be a littel woman, but wen I loked at her I wan sur-prised. She was big & fat & she looked as strong as Pa. Her chin was square, like a block, & her lips was thin & she jest barely opened her jaws wen she talked. If she wud have been a man thare wuddent be any cullurd champeen. Ware have you been? She asked Mr. Hemingway. Oh, Kid, that is all right, sed Mis ter Hemingway. My’ frend & I were just in thare having a cigar & I was singing youre praise to him. I was tell ing him how nice a temper you had. You mite have spared yourself the trubbel, sed The Kid. I think my tem per will speek for itself. All rite.

Who, sctl Ma The KM, By OLIVETTE. I SN’T this a chin little chapeau oli the left for early fall? It is of white satin, or supple felt, and is a “flower pot” shape, with a band of self material finishing at the edge. Two wide loops flare up In front, and a softer loop descends across the crown. The home milliner will find this hat very easy to copy—and the expense won’t lie very great. Twenty-five cents for the flowerpot foundation shape, a dollar for the yard of satin, and a dollar and a half for a yard of black velvet cut on the bias. This velvet may be cut in throe strips, which can be stitched together invisibly. Another quarter for millinery wire and lining, and for three dollars you have a smart and unusual little “first” hot. evening gown of pale lemon brocade is rather startling without transgressing the limits of good taste. The gown itself takes the form of a princess dress cut with blousing waist and fish-tail train. The top part of the bodice is a dainty kimono of tine maline lace and ivory chiffon. Fnder this shimmers a pale apricot ribbon which is laid across the chest and under the arms. Over the dress and joining the “V” neck is a long coat of palest apricot chiffon, which falls to the bottom of the skirt with no open ing for tin* arms. This cape-coat is edged with an applique of dull gold and pink roses with leaves of green gold. Under this trimming the chiffon coat tightens into a few folds at the back. Behold a hat, on tin* right, that the “home milli ner” can never hope to manufacture! Of tete du negro velvet is the smart shape which scoops over milady’s right eye, turns smartly up at the left side and the back and arranges itself In a soft, "near” Tam o’ Shunter crown.

I want my place changed, or I’ll get out and walk!” A good story anent his physic .U powers is told by Mr. George Robey, the well-known comedian. A brother comedian and himself were comparing the size of their re spective chests and biceps in Mr. Robey’s dressing room one evening. “Feel the muscles of my neck,” Mr Robey said; “put your fingers round my throat.” The other gripped Mr. Robey’s throat, while the latter set his teeth and contracted all the muscles. He seemed much impressed by the dis play, and Mr. Robey says he expected some compliment to his muscular de velopment. All the other said, how ever, was, "George, they will have a bother to hang you.” A keen-eyed but obviously poorly educated settler in a colony in its pioneer stage took his overgrown son to a country sichool. "This ’ere boy’s arter Taming,” he said to the schoolmaster.

M ARY FLETCHER tried to con ceal her pained surprise when she saw her mother-in-law s home and the street into which the elderly woman had moved. For Mrs. Tleicher senior’s new quarters were in a building of very cheap flats, or tenements; This building was on an avenue through which an elevated road runs and the proximity to Twen ty-third street made the place easy nf access, a fact for which Mary was grateful when she, with her baby and large suit case, left the ferry on the afternoon of her arrival in New York, j Ht-r mother-in-law was on the watch | for her and met Iter at the foot of j lr,e stairs leading to the third floor "ii which were the humble rooms. I guess you’re surprised to see I me in this common part of town l niti i .\<>u?” she queried when she had deposited the baby on her bed, hav ing insisted on carrying him upstairs I herself. "But while I don’t think I ever had much pride, the little I did have has had a fall. I’ll tell you all about it later. First of all, let me help you and the child off with your things.” This lie proceeded to do. talking j all the time. Mary observed that j the * lderly woman had lost much of her sharpne?*s, and when she saw the lines of care in her face she pitied her and determined to be very gentle with her. Bert’s mother's bed was in the only’ bedroom in the small flat, hut in the parlor was a couch on which Mary was to sleep, and by that was a mall camp cot that the grandmother had bought expressly for the baby. "it was real cheap.” poo .**iid. “only a dollar. But we can make It soft by folding comforters and puttin' them on it. and he ain’t such an active child as to roll off easy. One side of the cot can be against your couch, and we'll fence him in on the other side with chairs. I ain’t got a very flue place her* Mary, but there’s room in it for you.” For the first time since she had met her husoand’M mother. Mary kissed her. “Thank you,” she said, sincerely, "you are very kind, and baby and I appreciate It.” In spite of what his mother had written, Bert's wife had not sus pected until that night in what straits he had put his mother. Now that he had gone away (he had j started on hie journey that morning) I hi* mother spoke freely’ of him and his recent conduct. She told Mary | how he had come to her. his mother, * time and again, "with a hard luck story,” asking her to help him out. “I suppose you’ll think I’ve been j a foolish old woman,” she said, “to | do all I’ve done. I know I told you ; once l knew how to manage men. I and I always thought I’d hold out I against any attempt that Bert might make to get money out of me. But, Lord! I guess mothers is all aliko when the pinch comes. And when he told me that a few thousand would .lust tfde him over a bad place in his business, and that the lack of it would ruin him. T let him have the money. And then he come and told me that lie found he'd need another thousand to make the matter sure. I got mad at first and asked him if he wasn’t sendln' good money after bad, but he said that it was* all right. He—” she faltered and her voice broke—“he actually took his oath that It jjV’as all on the square. And now the money’s gone, and he tells me that business ain’t any bet ter. that everybody’s done him, ybut that he’ll make good yet.” She paused and tried to look like her brusque and arrogant self. “Oh,” she exclaimed, “I've learned my Jenson and it’s cost me about all I’d laid aside against my old age! But I've got a little left to keep me yet If I live in a tenement like I thought I’d never live In. If I’ve the good luck to die before long, T may not have to go to the poor- house.” She tried to laugh, but the younger woman saw the misery back of th* sorry effort. As long as there is a roof over our heads, it will always be your roof, too,' she said. "Surely”-*-she ^hesitated—"your ?nn will never see you want for anything after all you’ve done for him. He tells me that busi ness has been dull, but it may not be long before the money he has put into it w’ill bring him in some thing better than he now has.” The wife spoke bravely, but her tone did not deceive the mother. The two looked into each other's eyes steadily, and each saw the fear in the other’s gaze. Then the mother spoke solemnly, leaning for ward and laying her large hand on her daughter-in-law's slender and toil-worn Angers. "Mary,” she said slowly. "I wonder where that money’s gone!” Mary felt herself turn pale. “Why,” she faltered, “into Bert's business, I hope. Except, of course”—she paused —“except, of course—that he spends some of !t on—on—liquor!” Tn spite of her familiarity with her husband’s habits she felt her self blush as she confessed them to his mother. But her listener did not notice her confusion. • “Child.'' she said, "a man can't spend just on drink all the money Bert’s borrowed off me. I’m afraid —that”-— Then she checked herself abruptly. “There!” she exclaimed, "let's not talk any mor*- about it to-night, nor at all, until we know whether it’s gone into business or somewhere':* else. And—” holding up a huge An ger to emphasize her remarks— “I'm goin' to And out!" After which cryptic speech she be came very silent.
