Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen

the care of Laurance Donovan. writer,
summering near Port Annandale; Miss
Patricia confded to Donovan that she
feared her brother Henry, who ruined by
q bank failure, had constantly threatened
her Donovan discovered and captured
an intruder, who proved to be Reginald
Gillespie, suitor for the hand of Helen

ther meet on friendly terms. Donovan

man he supposed was Holbrook, but who
said he was Hartridge, canoe-maker.

night, disguised as a nun, Helen stole
from the house. She met Reginald Gill
lespie, who told her his love. Gillespie

van, slipped draft for her father into
lady resembling Miss Helen Holbrook
was observed alone in canoe, when
Helen was thought to have been at home.
Gillespie admitted giving Helen $4,000 for
her father, who had then left to spend it.
Miss Helen and Donovan met in the
night. She told him Gillespie was nothing
Donovan found Gillespie gagged and
bound in a cabin. inhabited by the viii
lainous Italian and Holbrook; He released
him. Both Gillespie and Donovan ads
united love for Helen. Calling herself
Rosalind a voice" appealed to Donovan
for help. She told him to go to the canoe
makers home and see that no injury be-
fell him. He went to Red Gate.
AT the canoe-makerS home, Donovan
found the brothers-Arthur and Henry
lHobrook-who had fought each other, in
consultation. "Rosalind" appeared. Ar
thur aVerted a murder. Donovan return
ing. met Gillespie alone in the dead of
might On investigation he found Henry
Holbrook, the sailor and Miss Helen en-
gagged in an argument 1t was settled
,and they departed. Donovan met the
rcal Rosalnd. who by night he had sup
posed to be Miss Helen Holbrook. She
revealed the miX-up. Her father, Arthur
Holbrook. was the canoe-maker, while
Helen's father was Henry Holbrook, the
erring brother. The cousins. Helen and
Eosalind. were as much alike as twins.
Thus Helen's supposed duplicity was eX-
lplained. Helen visited Donovan, asking
his assistance in bringing Miss Patricia
IIolbrook and Henry HOlbrook together
for a settlement of their money affairs,
which had kept them apart for many
years. Donovan refused to aid. He met
Gillespie and planned coup. BY making
to Rosalind. who he supposed was
Helen, so closely die they resemble each
other, Donovan cleared the way for a
settlement Of The Holbrook troubles. Gill
Ilespie had possessed the only evidences
tof the Holbrooks' disgrace. The evidence
is securely hidden.

Acquiring Friends.

Acquiring friends and keeping them
is the surest way to social success,
provided each friend is hall marked,
so to speak. as being of sterling merit
and of the right weight in the social
scale. Some people seem born with
the knack and right intuition about
these most necessary moves, and no
matter where they visit will at once
slip into the charmed circle from
which most newcomers are excluded.
When at hotels abroad or at home
they always stumble upon the nota-
bles. and even royalty travelling in
cognito will come their way. On all
sides they are smiled on and ap-
proved. On the other hand, there are
many who travel purely for the sake
of meeting desirable people, who put
up at hotels where royalty is expected
and go to all kinds of expense and
trouble to dine and wine each new ac-
quaintance, and yet are ever apart.
1t needs a magic touch to open the
portals to friendship and a sympathy
that but few really possess.

WEAK ON FINANCE
GIRLS STUDIES OF MONETARY

Mr.. Fatherly's Daughters, Are Charm

Strange Ideas as to the
Handling of Money.

Strange ideas of finance our chill

apparently, that all they have to do is
to ask their father for the money.
That he might have difficulty in sup
plying all their wants is something
that seems never to occur to them.
and they don't understand it when
sometimes | have to tell them that
there is kink in the exchequer and
that | cannot just then honor their
demands. But they have other queer
ideas about money For instance:
I'VE make our two daughters each
weekly allowance of money for their
various lesser wants. They spend this
money as they go along for many lit
tie things, or sometimes they accumu-
late it until they get enough for some
bigger thing that they want, and then
they buy that. And then sometimes
when the time has come when they
want to get this more costly thing
they find they haven't accumulated
quite enough. They borrow the bal
ance of me. That is to say. Shey get
an advance on their allowance, which
they pay back in installments at their
convenience.
THE home bank lets them lake
their time about this, and sometimes
they are pretty slow. 1t is hard, up-
hill uorL for onv0hdu RI ropov hor-
rowed money; l guess we all know
that. So we never worry the girls
about repaying this borrowed money;
we let thew take their time about it,
and we charge them no interest.
Then comes along a week when
the home bank is pinched little and
when it would be help to call some
amount on these small loans; which
we do, when agreed to by the other
party, by deducting a sum from the
weekly allowance and crediting the
same to the account of the loan as an
installment in repayment. We don't
actually get in any money by this you
understand, but we have to pay out
less. and that in the circumstances

think one of my daughters says to me
when ! make her this proposition?
"She is ready and willing, in fact
glad. to let that deduction from her
allowance be made this week. to be
credited to the account of her loan.
but since this money is going to be a
help to me she wants to know if
don't think l ought to allow her some
interest on it! l have been out this
money all this time, but when she
pays any of it back she thinks ought
to pay her something for the use of
it! Isn't that bewildering?
1T IS my experience that Mrs. Fa-
therly is great economist. She never
wastes penny and she can make a
dollar go further than anybody l ever
knew; but our daughters, charming
girls as they are, have only the haziest
notions about finance, and one of
these is that money grows in their fa-
theirs pocket"

But they hardly touch the fact that
she was gone all night; or that
strange man brought note addressed
in Helen's handwriting to her aunt
only an hour ago."
"Kidnaped!"- I laughed aloud
as the meaning of her disappearance
flashed upon me!

NO, she wont-my word for it, Sis

'But it is not for you,"
ooh, yes, it is! You wouldn't have
Miss Pat subjected to the shock of
demand for ransom. Worse than that,
Miss Pat has little enough faith in
Helen as it is; and such a move as
this would be final. This kidnapping is
partly designed as a punishment for
me, and propose to take care of it
without letting Miss Pat know. She

EIGHT LEFT IN OPEN
WESTERN GOLF FINAL.

CHICAGO, Sept. Qualifying and
first rounds in the Western open golf
championship at the Beverly Country
Club yesterday reduced the field eligi-
BILE for the title to eighty-five profess
SIGNALS and three amateurs, the latter
all being from Chicago clubs.
SO keen was the battle for the first
sixteen places that only six strokes
separated the leader& from the four
men who tied at II for the last three
places.
Charles Evans, jr., of Edgewater. the
former Western amateur champion,
won the prize for low score in the
qualifying round with II, a new COM
petitive record for the course. 1t is
the first time that an amateur has
ever led the field in the Western open
event. Jack Hutchinson, of the Pitts
burg Country Club, was second with 10,
Albert Seckel, of Riverside, Eastern
intercollegiate champion, also qualified,
as did Ned Sawyer, former Western
amateur champion. All three amateurs
were in match play.
