ON THE
ROAD TO TOMORROW
BY MARGERY doom.
She Wants Him TO Call.
BY MARGERY doom.
Dear Margery Doom.

Dear Margery Doom.
L am a girl of 10 and am very much
In love with a young man whom I met
at a party about a week ago. He was
very attentive to me and took me Il to
supper. He did not TAXI me home. as
1 only live across the street from where
the party was held. He said he would
like to call on me, and I did not make
any definite date, because I did not
want him to think me too anxious
Now, Miss Doom, what I want to know
is this: Do you think 1t would be all
right to write him a note setting a
night for him to call? Please let me
know, as I would like to have him call
some night next week. Thanking you
for YOU trouble I am,
DAILY READER.
There is no reason why you should
not write a friendly little note, telling
him when to call, as long as he ex-
pressed a desire to come. But If 1
were you I would try to stop imagining
that I was In love with him. Better
wait until you know him.

His voice rang harshly through the
big ROOM. There was no answer.
''Georgei George. Are you thar"
Still no response.
Hillyer leaned against the door fac

about to sink to the floor. Then he
heard George Buckley calling to him.

The lanlpl Great God, what could
that mean? What did Buckley intend

Taking the lamp in his quivering
hand, the merchant went back in the

he was dazed by the light, but he
CROPPED on. Presently he came upon
Buckley lying on his side behind a
great pile of corn in bags.

man said humbly. but I've got my
foot caught in a hole In the floor. and |

"Oh, Georgei' the merchant gasped,
and, placing the lamp IN the floor, he
raised the young man in his arms, n
together they managed to release the
imprisoned member.

of the young man still lay on the old
mans shoulder, and instead of remov-

He Stayed Away.

My Dear MISS Doom.
Please tell me If you think a young
ma cares for a girl when he promises
to call at her home and then
does not come, and does not apollo
gize for three days. I have been
going with a young mar for q long
time, and that is what he did to me
about two weeks ago. I told him he
need not come again. and he sal very
well, he would not. I did not hear from
him until yesterday, when he asked me
to please forgive him and take him
back, and said that he would never dc
1t again. Now, Miss Doom, I feel as il
I never could believe him again, even
IL I do take him back, although I owe
him very much. He gave me a good
reason for staying away. but I think
he could have ent me a telegram or
let me know some way at once. What
would you advise me to do? Kindly
let me know at once, as I am very
much p~erplexed. ANXIOUS.
I think you want him TO come back
but are still nursing your spite, which
Is very foolish. If he made a mistake
and Is sincerely sorry for 1t you can
not make matters better by continuing
to pout, with a view Of making him
sorrier. If I were you 1 would give
him another chance, letting him under
stand that you will not forgive him for
another offense of the same kind. II he
did not love you he would not be so
anxious to patch up the quarrel.

Interesting Items to Please the Children.

IT agree with you" answered the sol
der; waving his sword belligerently,
but | am afraid he will not listen to
any arguments that we nay advance
unless we teach him a lesson in the
good old-fashioned way"
You are right responded the old
gentleman on the opposite wall, for
have seen him neglect his lesson Sc
often that 1 am quite out of patience
with him.
Saying this he placed his cane on the
edge of u convenient chair inc la
boriously climbed down from the pic
ture and started to cross the room to
where Jack IA sitting open-mouthed
with amazement.
Suddenly there vas a rattle and a
crash. 1t was the soldier jumping down
from his frame to the floor and striking
his sword on the edge of the library
table.
Before Jack Knew it they were both
standing in front of him and he heard
the soldier saying;
Il will hold him, sir, while you be-
labor him with your cane, and perhaps
you may be able to pound some scnse
into his curly head"
Jack then felt himself pinned to the
chair by two strong hands, while the
old man raised his cane in a very
threatening manner. He could not
move, but with all the power OF his
lungs he shouted: "Mamal Papat"
"Why. what is the matter with you,
Jack? Wake up, boy" Mr., Ford was
saying as he shook his son by tho
shoulder. you have been dreaming
over your lessons again as usual; now
finish your task like a little man, SO
that your teacher will be pleased in
the morning"
But Jack does not believe 10 this day
that 1t was a dream at all. and never
enters the library that he does not look
very carefully at the two large por-
traits to see il the soldier and the old
man in the white wig are still in their
frames and not wandering o the
room waiting to teach little boys a
salutary lesson.
And | will say this muci for Jack,
that the lesson was taken to heart and
he resolved then and there that he
would never again give the two gentle
men in the pictures cause to complain
OF his actions. And he V did, be-
coming so studious thereafter that Mr..
Ford was never called from his evening
paper to make him study his lessons.

Simple Remedies Will Keep
Complexion Well Preserved
Madame Alta Advises Simple Lotions for All Skin Troubles.
Other Hints That Women Will Appreciate.

A saturated solution Of borax is
excellent for an oily complexion, be-
cause it is so eficacious, easily
mixed M inexpensive. To prepare 1t
some water is put into a bottle, and
then as much powdered borax as the
liquid will dissolve. This compound
will cut grease and dirt as quickly as a
patent soap powder.
A good way Of using it is to apply
with a square of cheese cloth not more
than six inches wide and long. This
should be wet with the solution and
used as a wash cloth. The solution
may be used at any or all times, and Is
thoroughly cleansing. 1t may be al
lowed TO dry on the flesh or be rinsed off.
The former way is preferable if there is
a tendency TO abnormal greasiness of
the skin.
Borax has an advantage over cologne
or alcohol as an a%stringent, because 1t
is less drying.

Fruit Cake.

The thought of fruit cake comes
naturally in the train of thoughts OF
the approaching winter holidays. Here
is a recipe which is comparatively sim
pie. The cake will keep a long time
IL the family al be induced to leave
it alone-and the longer it is kept the
better 1t is.
The ingredients are one pound of
currants (washed, picked over and
floured), one pound of seeded rails
ins (also washed, picked over and
foured), one-half pound of citron (cut
fine), one cupful of butter, two pounds
of very dark brown sugar, two tea
spoonfuls of cinnamon, n e small nut
meg GRATED fine), four egg one small
~teaspoonful of allspice, a half tumbler
of good whiskey and one and a half
cups of -four and one small teaspoonful
of baking powder sifted together. A
cupful of black walnut meats adds
very much to the flavor.

The old mans voice broke. He made
a effort to a something more, but
choked up, and, with his gaze on the
ragged rug in front of him, he sat quite
motionless except for his heaving
shoulders. George Buckley bent for
ward. his hands tightly clasping each
other. Without a word he rose and
went with a steady step out into the
darkness of the warehouse. Hillyer
heard his crunching tread as he walked
back and forth over the grain strewn
floor, and he knelt beside the bed and
tried to pray the prayer that had runs
in his old brain for thirty years, but
somehow the worn words refused to
come. George Buckley's silence was
against him. His long delayed doom
lurked in the dark silence of the great
house, and in a moment George Buck
ley would calmly bring 1t forth and
show 1t to him. Suddenly from the
darkness he heard a stifled cry as OF
pain: hen a heavy weight went down
George Buckley had fallen. A cold
sweat broke out on the merchants face.
He feared he knew not what, but he
feared. Was his doom about to show

JACK K A LESSON.
BY A. B. LIE MASSENA.

PACK was a good boy, but, being a
boy. he naturally had some faults
y that YOU crop out occasionally to
the despair of lbs mother. For one
thing, he hated to study his lessons,
and so every evening, after h dinner
dishes had been cleared away, there
was always trouble in the Ford house
hold until MI. Ford was called from his
evening paper to drive the boy to his
books in preparation for the morrow's
school.
This evening was no exception to the
rule, and it was with much reluctance
that Jack departed for the library,
where he would not be disturbed by the
family talk, and spread out his arith-
metic on tho big centre table and set
tied himself with slate. and pencil 20
work out the uncongenial sums re-
qulred by his teacher.
But, somehow or other. the figures
did not materialize on the slate, for
Jack found IL so much easier to sit and
dream of the skating party that the
bows of the school were planning or To
snaculste about the pictures on the
library wall. .
Right over his head was a portrait
Great-grandfather Ford in a wonder
full uniform, carrying a sword in one
hand and holding a funny-looking nat
in the other, while on the opposite wall
hung the picture of q stern old man
wearing an white periWlg
and grasping a long gold-headed cane
for all the world as though he was
about to strike some one with 1t. Az
least it appeared that way to JACK,
who sat back in his chair looking ~
at him. And he was not at all sur
prised when the old man did actuaiiy
raise his cane and point 1t at nm
as that the young man?p doomed a
dean voice. which Jack could swear
came from the picture.
Yes. there can be no mistake, lor l
heard his mother arguing with him TO-
night" came the answer. and JACK
onicklv looked over his shoulder to see
the PAINTED soldier actually leaning u
from his deep gilt frame and shaking
his head up and down in confirmation
"Well he is a disgrace to the lam

Wig and we certainly would be DONG
a good deed If we taught him to mango
