English translation art Copyrighted. 1913, by International News Service.)* TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. iiut there was no return to the old apathy. lie fel t the foil of a live oppo nent now and suspected that this Oppo nent was the tall, fair-haired girl. He * ould not read her plans or aims, but he felt that a contest was still on—and for a tremendous prize. So he was not unduly surprised when Miss Lloyd ap peared 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 l 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 but the fact that you haven’t gotten entirely out of the way of paying them occasionally. Father and I were afraid you wore 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 bay further that while there's hope there’s wojk." She pouted ever so little. "Oh, surely. Mr. Allan, the work can i get along without you for a few hours.” "L 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 cuse,! this once.’’ She studied ihs face for a moment. She felt certain that it was not work that was keeping him away. “You’re quite certain you won’t be able to arrange tilings so you can get awn y "Well," he hesitated, “if you can hold the invitation open I’ll do my best. AV'ould 4 o’clock to-morrow be too late?” “By no means,” she assured him, generously. "I'll call you up at 4 sharp.’’ 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» ernment. He had no difficulty in obtaining all the hearings he could desire with any man whom he wished to approach. He remained in v Washington three weeks, but at the end of that time he was convinced that there was not the slight- hope that the Government would take over the enterprise. He returned to Tunnel City and worked up an adroit scheme of procedure which lie sub mitted to Vanderstyfft one night at It is club. Y anderstyffo was vastly inter ested and promised to take it up with WIttersteiner and others. "Wittersteiner thinks Jt’s a wonder, Allan, ' Vanderstyfft told him, “and so do tlie 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. W hen he stays out they are afraid to go In.” Then Allan decided to attack Lloyd once more. Kthel was not visible when j lie called, but the old financier re- ' ceived him with every mark of regard , and consideration. Allan decided to tell 1 him boldly and baldly everything that he had atempted and demand a definite answ’er. if this should be unfavorable, be would abandon the tunnel, burn his plans, and retire to the wilderness to , hunt and fish 'l could have told you the answer you w r ould get if you had taken the trouble to be frank with me, my boy,” said the 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 tiling from this time on, possibly, without me. But they don t dare risk it. My coming in means so much in the 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. The financier appeared to reflect for a moment. "I suppose—I 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 be ‘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 next month, or even next week. Many things can happen in that time.” 4 4 HER STATEMENTS DESERVE NOTICE Mrs. Walls Makes Public Some Interesting Facts Which Should Interest All Women. Leinarts, Tenn.—Mrs. Martha Walls, of this town, makes the following statements for publication: ‘T feel it my duty to tell you what your medi cine, Cardui, the woman’s tonic, has done for me. "For four (4) year?, 1 suffered terri bly with womanly troubles, and I found no relief in different medicines which I took. Finally, I began to take (’ardui, the woman’s tonic, and after taking six bottles 1 am completely ured. 1 feel like a different person altogether. All the pains are gone, and I am in better health than 1 have been in for four years. Have gained a great deal in weight. “I still take Cardui as a tonic. My husband, as well as myself, can not praise it too highly. “I hope this letter will induce other poor, suffering women to try Cardui, for it is the best medicine in the world for women.’" If you suffer from any of the nu- j merous ailments so common to all women, why not take this lady s ad vice, and try Cardui? It has helped ! her, as well as a million other wom en in the past half century. "W h> shouldn’t it do the same for you? We feel sure it will. Reading of Mrs. Walls’ helpful ex perience should encourage you to try w hat this medicine will do for you. Get a bottle of Cardui from your druggist to-day. You won t regret it.

DON’T wish to appear to be ac cusing you of playing fast and loose, Mr. Lloyd," he said, "but 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 some measure of that on our side the rest is easy." "But how can we do anything to learn -” "Now you have me!" declared Mr. Lloyd, with a faint twinkle in his eye. "Do you think you can trust me—for a month, say?” “Yes,” said Allan, reluctantly. “Good! You are under my orders. You are to forget all about the tunnel for 30 days. I want you to come here next week and visit us for at least two weeks, and we are not to mention tun nel once. Ethel will be here, and she has all sorts of social plans. Will you obey instructions?” he smiled. Allan made a wry face, but he smiled. “Very well,” he said. Four nights later there was a big 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 Her 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 ami Miss Lloyd out together twice within the sjune 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 Stook 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, he hurried off to see Miss Lloyd. To his amazement the young woman only laughed. "My dear, Mr. Allan,” she said. ’T should think that you had been in the newspapers long enough to get used to things of this Sort. I have, anyway. Of course, I know that }ou didn t have anything to do with it, and of course I want you to deny it as emphatically as v 0ll . l 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 hi? students on a mount Oi Ivs 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. * Tne gentleman felt that he must say something to give the impression that he was interested. "Can the dear little fellow walk?’.' he inquired quietly. "Walk?" shouted the mother. AY hy. he has been walking for five months!” "Dear me!” exclaimed the profes sor lapsing again into a bytraction. •AVhat a long wav he must have got! M EN has got lots of pet naims for thare wifes, but lots of times thay doant choose the naims very good. I have herd sum of the married men wich curns to our house call thare wifes Llttel Pearl & the wife wud be big & dark, or sum of the other men wud call thare wifes Grate big butiful doll & she wud be skinny & hcamly & little. But the funniest naim for a husband to use for a pet naim wen it doesn't fit is The Kid. Mister Hemingway cairn up to the house last nite with his wife. I dident 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 omer 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 hoam 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, & she took me as such. The Kid & me understand each other perfeckly, & she leens on me & reelies on my strong arm for proteckshun & suppoart. I 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 St. feeble looking. The Kid understands in©, he sed to Pa. She knows that eeven the wildest of men maiks the best husbands wen thay get married & settel down. I sup pose yure wife is the saim 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 ^bout it. Pa sed. she watches me up a littel to this day. & every onst in a while, wen 1 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 Kid wud newer think of tell ing me anything about my conduck, sed Mister Hemingway. Now that we have finished our cigar, I want you to 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 was 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- i ter Hemingway. My frend & I were just in thare having a cigar & I was I 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 ten per will speek for itself. All rite. Kid, sed Mister Hemingwa You bet it is all rite, sed The Kid That is the way she acted all the evei 1ng. & after she was gone Pa l>eega to leff. She is >um purring kilter, l - she? sed Pa. Who, sed Ma Tie- K ■ By OLIVETTE. I SN’T this a chic little chapeau on 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 flower-pot 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 flirts 1 strips, which can be stitched together invisibly. Another quartet* for millinery wire and lining, and for three dollars you have a smart and unusual little "first” hat. The 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 fine mail no lace and ivory chiffon. Under 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 the 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 the right, that the “hynie ipilli- ner” can never hope to manufacture! Of tete du negre 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’ Shanter crown. And of the same wonderful smoky dark brown shade is the great eascading spray of paradise, that extends across tin 1 back. The price? oh, It can be done for one hundred and fifty dollars, if milady does not demand too generous a mass of the frothy paradise in her crown! "Man overboard!” shouted an ex cited passenger on an Atlantic liner, as he hastily left his place at the dinner table and scrambled up the companion way. An affrighted crowd o; ladies an gentlemen followed him. He was wildly expostulating with the captain on deck when they surrounded him with eager inquiries. "Where is he? Who i? he?” they de manded, and the originator of the scare laid bis hand upon his breast and said, with melodramatic air: “Here he is! I am the man over bored. I have been compelled to sit four days at the same table with three men who can’t talk about any thing but golf. 1 want my ;»lnqe changed, or I’ll get out and walk!” * * * A good story anent his physical powers is told by Mr. George Robey, the well-known comedian. A brothel* 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 In- ♦•\ppcted some compliment to hi?* muscular de velopment. ah the mher - Id, i >w* ever, was, "George, they will have a bother to hang you.” A keen-eyed but obviously poorly educated settler in a colony in its i pioneer stage took his overgrown son to a country school. "This ’ere boy’s inter 1’arning." ne said to the schoolmaster. ”V\ hat’s! yer bill o’ fare?” "Our curriculum, sir," replied the, schoolmaster, "embraces geography, ! physiology, ari.'nmetic, algebra, trig- ; onometry ” "That’ll c’o.

By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER CHAPTER XXXVI ARY FLETCHER tried to con ceal her pained surprise when she saw her mother-in-law's homo and the street Into which the elderly woman had moved. For Mrs. I etcher senior’s new quarter® were in a building of very cheap fiats, 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 of access, a fact for which Mary was grateful w hen she, with her baby and large suit case, left the ferry on the afternoon of her arrival in New York. Her mot hr-in - . i w was on the watch for her ami met her at the foot of the stairs leading lo the third floor on which were the humble rooms. "I guess you’re surprised lo see me in thl® common part of town. ;1 ■ 11 i >"n?" she queried when she had deposited the baby on her bed, hav ing insisted on carrying him upstairs herself. “Bui while 1 don't think I ever had much pride, the little 1 did hove has had a fall. I’ll tell you all ■*bout it later. First of all, let me help you and the child off with your tilings." This - he proceeded to do. talking nil the time. Mary observed that the elderly woman had lost much of her sharpness, and when she saw the lines of rare in her face she pitied her and determined to be very gentle with her. Bert’s mother's bed wa® in the only bedroom in the small flat, but in the parlor was a couch on which Mary was to sleep, and by that was a small camp cot that the grandmother had bought expressly for the baby. "Ft was real cheap,” nhe smid. “only a dollar. But we can make it soft bj folding comforters and puttin' them on it. and he ain’t such an active child as t<> 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 fine place here, Mary, but there’s room in it for you.” For the first time since she hail met her husoand’n 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 lie had put his mother. Now that he had gone away (lie had started on hi? journey that morning) his mother spoke freely of him and his recent conduct. She told 4(1 ary how he had come to her, his mother, time and again, “with a hard luck story," asking her to help him out. "1 suppose you’ll think I’ve been a foolish old woman,” she said, “to do all I’ve done. I know I told you once I knew how to manage men. and I always thought I’d hold out against any attempt that Bert might make to get money out of me. But, Lord! 1 gues? mothers i9 all aiiku when the pinch come®. And when he told me that a few thousand would just tide him over a bad place in his business, and that the lack of It would ruin him. I let him have the money. And then he come and told me that he found he’d need another thousand to make the matter sure. I got. mad at first and asked him if he wasn’t sendin’ good money after bad. but he said that it wa? all right. fTe—” she faltered and her voice broke—“he actually took his oath that it was all on the square. And now th.■ money’s gone, ami iie tells me that business ain’t any be* ter. that everybody’s done him, b:r. that lie’ll make good yet.” She paused and tried to look like her brusque and arrogant self. "Oh." she exclaimed, “I’ve learned my lesson 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 1 thought I’d never live in. Tf 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 young* i* 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 con will never see you want for anything after an you r dorm for him. He tells me that buei ness has been dull, but it may no* be long before the money lie has put Into it will 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 an 1 toil-worn fingers. "Mary,” she said slowly. "E wonder where that money’s gone!” Mary felt herself turn pn’e. “Why,” she faltered, "into Bert’s business. I hope. Except, of course"—she paused —"except, of course—that he spends some of '■ on—on—liquor!” In spite of her familiarity with her husband’® habits she felt her self blush us she confessed them to his mother. Rut her listener did not notice her confusion. “Child.” she said, “a man can't, spend just on rlrink all the money Bert’s borrowed off me. I’m afraid —that” Then sue checked herself abruptly. "There!” she exclaimed, “let’s not. talk any more about it to-night, nor at all. until we know whether it’s gone into business or somewhere’s else. And—” holding up a huge An ger to emphasize her remarks— "f’m goin’ to find out’ After which cryptic speech she be came very silent.
