CHAPTER XIV.

n ERTHA sped very swiftly along
the narrow pathway after she
49, left Patty, partly because she
feared she was late, partly because she
was carried away by her feelings.
All the good and the true in Bertha's
warm-hearted nature had been awak-
ened during her recent interview with
Patty. Overlooking as she was with
spontaneous affection, happy in the re-

Willingly imbued her with a deep
sense of the poor factory girls candor
and honesty. Up the hill to the house
she almost flew, caroling meanwhile
softly to herself like a young bird, OF
which shA perforce reminded one, into
the copse where she had met Christian
on that never-to-be-forgotten morning.
In that sacred grove she would fain
have fingered for awhile and dedicated
a few minutes to the memory of that
hour, but time would not allow of LOTT
ering she fancied, so she still ran on
in the deepening twilight. without Civ
ing due heed to her bounding steps.
Suddenly she caught her feet in a fallen
sapling which lay across her pathway,
and fell prone with a cry of pain.
For a moment or two she lay there
quite motionless, then overcoming a
feeling of faintness by the sheer effort
of her will she made a vigorous at
tempt to get up. It was, however,
fruitless; the agony she experienced in
the instep of her left foo was so in
tense that she could do nothing but
roll over on her side, and remain tram
gully there with a bough of a pros
trate tree for a pillow, till, as she hoped,
the first anguish would pass and she
might be able TO pursue her way.
For nearly a quarter of an hour she
remained there, her sensations, as it
were, blunted, half-unconscious in pain

to how she was to get home fitting

INJURED, though still. mercifully, the
exhaustion she experienced was too
complete for her to feel any great ter

at hand? There was a sound of voices.
and Bertha was just going to cry out
for assistance when something in the
tone Of the speaker arrested her at
%tention, and faint, pain-stricken though
she was, she raised herself into a Sit
ting posture. and strained every nerve
to listen.
1t was Lady Muriel's voice.

WRITING TO A YOUNG MAN.
Margery Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
Please come to the aid of a daily
reader, and let me know if it is proper
for a a girl to write to a young man
first, if she is the one who leaves town.
1 am going to the country to spend a
week with my aunt, and a young man
asked me if l would write to him. /
did not see much sense in it, as L was
going to stay such a short time. but
he wanted me to, and I promised. Now,
1 do not know what to do. Please give
your advice. SUSANNA.
y There is no reason why you should
not write to him. Besides. o have
given your promise. Simply write a
friendly note, since he SO greatly de-
Sires it.

OUR CORNER
A FAIRY TALE.
BY cATHARINE PAGAN, AGED 10.

- nee upon a time at a certain
~ fairy well, two young girls came
to get a drink. The words o.
the younger were as sweet as the smile
on her ruby lips, while those OF the
elder seemed as though venom was on
the tip of her tongue ct all times.
While they were at the well a poorly
dressed beggar accosted them and
asked for aims. The elder sister re
buked hcr with seornful words, but he
younger pitied her and wished her sue
cess.
Then the fairy of the well cried aloud,
"Whenever you speak, sweet little girl
kindness shall fall from your lips like
purest gems. but as for your proud
sister, her words shall be as though
they came from the tongue of a SER
pent."
And sure enough, to this day, you
will meet the two sisters, n with
pure. unsullled lips and the other TAX
ing delight in SANDER and leaving a
dark trail wherever she goes.

Dear Miss Doom

and talked with her for about an hour

with her, which she did. not keep,
Since then l have 9ent her several
postals, and have never received any
answer. Please tell me what to do, as

to continue the acquaintance. 1 would

A very good remedy is to battle the
face frequently with a lotion composed
of three grains of borax to five Trans
each of rose water and orange flower
water. Another good lotion is made OF
thirty grains of borax dissolved in two
and a half ounces of lemon juice. This
should be applied at night after the face
has been thoroughly washed and rinsed.

Today we have the opportunity of
giving our readers an insight into a
group of lovely hats fashioned in the
workshops of Paris, especially designed
for smart occasions and representing
the most tasteful modes that will pre-
vail during the summer season.
The picture hat at the top of the page
is carried out in fine black straw, and
made in q most becoming shape with
a high crown and wide brim, the lat
ter lined with something entirely novel
in the shape of a very fine Indian
cashmere, with a suede finish. in a pale
shade of tan. This combination of tan
with black is in itself exceedingly smart
and is further emphasized by the
drapery of tan suede cashmere which
encircles the crown. To complete the
picture there is a magnificent cluster
of long black ostrich plumes of he fin
est quality, most picturesquely grouped,
so. tina their graceful curves are seen
to the best possible advantage.

plain, no pattern will be required. The
old cover should, however, first be re-
moved if it is much soiled. On the
other hand, if the furniture is new, the
cretonne should be made into slip-cov-
ers to save the original cover of the
chair.

of chic distinction is given to this hat
by the huge brown osprey placed high
at the side.
Lastly, there ome a very lovely hat
in black Manila, lined under the brim
With fine white straw, and rendered
wonderfully distinctive by the novel
shape of the CROWN, as we'll as by the
smart arrangement of the trimming.
High ON one side of the brim, whose
sweeping eurves cleverly reveal the
white straw lining, there are three long
snow-white ostrich feathers standing
erect above a deftly tied bow of SAKE
blue velvet ribbon. A drapery of the
same soft blue velvet ribbon lightly
encircles the crown above one of the
new frozen waterfall mounts composed
of one white ostrich feather. of which
only the extreme tips are lightly
curled.
These are, of course, only three
models selected from the many fashion!

The railroads were aroused to action
by an application to the railroad COM

order requiring the railroads to grant
the oil shippers the privilege of stop

What frightens the railroads Is the

shippers to job on car load rates,
which are paid to the furthest point OF
destination.
