said so often-that one of these
things is her friends secret. The

! DON'T LIKE YOUR LETTER.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

While working in the same
office with young girl her kind
ness forced me to love her, and
asked her whether she would be
willing to have me take her out
which she quickly accepted. This
took place about year and a half
ago, and we have kept company
ever since. Having been at her
nome but once, l begin to believe
she Is not the girl for me.
LARRY.
There may be reasons that are not
unfavorable to her why she doesn't
ask you to her home oftener.
After taking her time for a year
and a half, your doubts that she is
the girl for you do not do you credit
But since you have these doubts tell
her like a man and let that end it.
Perhaps your fckleness proves she
deserves a better man than you have
shown yourself to be.

TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.

You are hereby cautioned that any
thing you say may be used against
you" Then. as the stenographer en-
tered, he went on with lively interest.
Now. joel"
Yet once again Mary protested, a
little wildly.
Don't speak. Joe! Don't say a
word till we can get a lawyer for
you!"
The man met her pleading eyes
steadily and shook his head in re-
fusal.
It's no use, my girl" Burke broke
in, harshly. Il told you I'd get you.
I'm going to try you and Carson and
the whole gang for murder-yes, every
one of you. And you, Glider" he
continued, lowering on the young man
who had defled hiia so obstinately,

gaze to Carson again, and spoke au-
thoritatively. Come on now, joel
You Il Let Her Coz"
Carson went a step toward the desk,
and spoke deCisively
IF l come through. you'll let her
go-and him." he added as an after
thought, with a nod toward Dick Gil
der.
"Oh, Joe. DON'T" Mary cried. bitter
ly. Wen spend every dollar we can
raise to save you!"
Now, it's no use" the Inspector
complained. You're only wasting
time. He's said that he did 1t. That's
all there is to it. Now that we're
sure he's our man, he hasn't got a
chance in the world"
well. how about it?" Carson de-
manded, savagely. DO they go clear,
if l come through"

country" Mary persisted, desperate
ly. We'll save you, Joe-weIl save

Carson regarded the distraught girl
with wistful eyes But there was no
trace of yielding in his voice as he re-
piled, though he spoke sorrowfully
No. you can't help me-" he said.

Then, here goes!" Carson cried;
and he looked expectantly toward the
stenOgrapher.
The strain of 1t all was sapping the
will of the girl, who saw the man she
so greatly esteemed for his service to
her and his devotion about to con q
denim himself to death. She grew
half hysterical. Her words came
confusedly;

CERTAINLY NOT,
MISS FAIRFAX:

YEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l have been keeping COM
pany with a young man one year
my senior for the past four years.
Ever since / met him have
shown that I love him in every
way, but never has he returned
any affection for me. Although
we are on good terms. he never
more than greets me when he sees
me. am much taller than he
and believe that that may be the
reason he does not care for me.
Do you think it would be proper
for me to tell him of my love for
him straight up and down?
ROSE S.
You have transgressed the borders
of good taste in showing that you love
him. Don't add to your humiliation
by telling it straight up and down
Your height has nothing to do with
1t. He makes no effort TO win your
love because you have fooIishly
thrown it at his feet

Should Woman Tell Her Husband Everything?

| wonder what the husband must think
of the wife who tells him that which
she is not justified in imparting TO
anyone.
/ know one man who, under such
conditions, reminded his wife gently,
MY dear, | hardly think you ought
to mention that matter, even TO me.
1t was not meant for my ears, but
for yours only"
Such men may be rare, but l
think that they are not as rare as
some, persons fancy. OF course, the
wife was wounded. but it may have
taught her how an honorable man
regards a secret.
Another of the things that
woman should not tell her husband
is the rude or presumptuous remark
made to her by another man. l
know that this assertion may call
forth some protests, but / believe
that many people will agree with it.
Remember, ] am not dealing with
the young girl to whom a man is
impertinent or insulting, nor Of the
ineenue who may not know how to
take care of herself. But l am re-
ferring to the woman of the world
the woman who knows men and
women, and who is certainly quite
able to resent any disCourtesy or I'M
warrantable liberty of speech or
manner.
What is one to do" asked a
woman of forty, when a man tells
one vulgar stories and considers
them funny? Should not one com
plain to ones husband?"
The first vulgar story a man tells
a woman may be his fault; the sec
ond one is her fault. That is a rule
that generally holds good. If
!
pleased with the So called funny
story" he will not tell her another
If he does, she is quite able to ex-
press her displeasure and to avoid
him in the future. What good
would it do to complain to ones
husband? 1t would only make a
bad matter worse and bring about
a quarrel-possibly one that might
lead to publiCity-between the two
men
The men that decent women meet
in decent society will only go as far
as women will permit. The woman
who respects herself receives respect
from the average man. A young
girl may be annoyed by a mans at
tentions and not understand how to
dismiss him-perhaps. Not so an
older woman She, surely, has
enough sense and enough dignity to
| look after herself under ordinary
conditions. Therefore, ] say that it
is a sign of weakness and of a lack
of consideration on the part of the
wife if she tell her husband that a
man has not shown her the respect
due a good woman If such a man
be a frequent guest at her husbands
| home there may be a reason for her
to suggest to her husband that his
guest is not quite a gentleman, but
if the offender be a casual acquaint-
ance, why complain of him? One
word from her will be enough to
show the man his place.
He Won't Forget 1t.
Another Of the things that a
woman should not tell her husband
are the faults of the members Of
her family She will forget them;
he will not, but will remember them
when she wishes them to be re-
garded as bygones. Nor should she
call her husbands attention to the
neglect or unkindness of members
of his own family. If she can let
him feel that she loves his mother
and is fond Of his sisters, so much
the better.
Surely there are reserves that are
aS great virtues as are certain so

You must, first of all, refuse to sun

Mary Started.

conceded.
Nobody knew l had it," Carson
continued, dropping his braggart man
ner abruptly.
At the words, Mary started, and her
lips moved as if she were about to
speak.

repeated his words swiftly with d

pause.

There was sincere admiration in his

times to respect the personal abilities
of the criminals against whom he
waged relentless war.
That's right. joe" he said, with
perceptible enthusiasm.
Some class to that. eh?" Carson
demanded, still with that grewsome
air of boasting. Il got the gun, and
the Maxim silencer thing, off a fence
