At last. the Persian decided to
make a movement; and Raoul heard
him slip on his knees and feel for
something in the dark with his CROP

was made visible by small dark
lantern and Raoul instinctly stepped
backward as though to escape the
scrutiny of secret enemy. But he

Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
DON'T ISOLATE YOURSELF.

DON'T ISOLATE YOURSELF.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of IS and I never
kept company with a young man
vet. I haven't many acquaint-
ances, but only one lady friend.
NV relatives and even my parents
knock" me because don't go out
with any young men. Should l
remain with this friend, or try to
get other acquaintances?
CONSTANT READER.
Remain true TO your friend, OF
course. but remaining true to her
should not bar you from making 9TH
err friends. Go out more. Encourage
the friendliness Of those your own
age. Don't get into the lonesome
habit at your young years. If you
are pleasant and friendly and kind,
your circle of friends will soon widen
to include young men.

Not True.

The idea of a man named Pat stop
ping to ask such a question. He is
not true Irishman, or he would not
stop to ask if ne should try To win
the girl he loves from some other
man, even though the other man
'dished him out"
1t has always seemed to me that
the lover who doubts if he has a
right to win his sweetheart doesn't
love her very much. Instead of a
rival squirting him to action, he drops
beside the road and wonders if he has
a right to stay in the race,
Really if the girl has any spirit in
her she will accept the man who
fights the longest for her. even
though she may love the other man
the more.
one who hesitates foolishly writes:
Il am Il and am employed in
a wholesale house where a young man
is employed who loves me. He would
like to marry me, but gets only $11
week. and wants me to wait five
years. Another young man who gets
more wants to keep company with
me. I am not tickle, but want to do
the right thing"
Ii is never the right thing" for a
