Tinkleman's JOY Ride-By Clarissa Maclie.

Paul Tinkleman had possessed the
handsome red touring car for ten days
aud he was still under instruction from
the mechanician when he was intro
duced to Helena Judd. To say that
he immediately fell in love with her
will explain what follows.
The morning after his meeting with
Miss Judd Paul went forth to take his
sixth lesson in the operation of the
machine. He had reached Il point
where he could run the car along de-
serted stretch Of country road with
Dibbs. his instructor. standing on the
step beside the steering wheel. Tinkle-
mans method in every undertaking
was slow and sure. and he usually won
out in the end. 1t was very likely
that when Dibbs had impaired his last
lesson TO the young man Paul Tinkle-
man would know more about the run
ming of a motorcar than the expert
himself.
This morning OF the sixth lesson
found them running easily along just
the sort OF deserted suburban stretch

I 1t Is becoming more and more ap-
parent that nobody is going to pay
much attention to the report of the
commission, because all the members
I of congress realize that the purpose
+ of the body was not TO work out an
intelligent solution of the currency
problem, so much as il was to supply
a lot of republican lame ducks with
good fat jobs. The commission is no
longer taken seriously, even if it ever
was so regarded. A study of it's per-
sonnet which reveals that it is made up
of men who by no stretch of the imag-
ination could be expected 10 know
anything about finance, has convinced
the members of congress that the only,
thing to do is to dissolve the commits
sion and forget it.
Moreover. it is clearly patent to
those who have observed the working
of the commission that il is a one man
affair. Members of congress realize
now that the appointment of the COM
mission was merely another way OF
employing Mr.. Aldrich TO frame up a
scheme 70 turn control of tina money
Of the country over to Wall street, and
since the congress that is now in pow
er. unlike the one Mr.. Aldrich so COM
pletely dominated, is not in sympathy
with that scheme, the AIdrich report,
when il is made. very likely will share
the fate of tariff revision downward

But in the meantime the lame ducks
have drawn their salaries of $500

Suddenly be heard a motor horn. and
there swept past and then backed to a
( standstill beside him a limousine con-
tanning two ladies. One Of them was
Helena Judd. and the other was her
hostess of the night before, Mrs. Par

and beside their door in an instant.

He glanced up the hill where Dibbs

al the machine. His eye caught the

1t is hardly necessary to reply TO
your question, as you surely know
yourself that there is but one an
swer. You are stealing from that
mans wife just as much as if you
went into her house and took an ar
ticle of furniture. There are plenty
of men for a girl of your age who
are not married. Select one of these
and let the married men alone.
Dear Mrs. Thompson have a
girl friend of whom my parents dis
approve. They threaten TO make me
leave home if I do not stop visiting
her. I am IS years old and my
friend is six months my junior. 1

would you advise me TO do?
WORRIED.
The judgment of parents, in these
matters, is never amfss. The eyes OF
maturity see with a clearer vision
than those of youth and ineXper-
fence. You are not too old to obey
your parents. and by so doing you
will be saved the suffering that will
come from the penalty that always
follows disobedience.
