CHAPTER XVI.
PHILIP vANTINE's CALLER.

y. " CALLhh.
II was a sorbid story that Rogers
gasped out to us: and, as 1t concerns
this tale only incidentally, shall pass
over 1t as briefly as may be.
Eight or 10 years before, the fair
Julie--at least, she was fairer then than
now!-had come to New York to enter
the employee OF a family whose mistress
had decided that life without a French
maid was uncomfortable. Rogers had
met her. had been fascinated by her
black eyes and red lips, had, in the
end, proposed honorable marriage
quite unnecessarily, no doubt!-had
been accepted. and for some months
husband of the siren. Then, one morn
Ing, he awakened to find her gone.
He had, of course, entrusted his saw
ings to her-that had been one condi-
ton of the marriage-and the savings
were gone, also Julie 1t seems, had
been overcome with longing for, the
Paris asphalt; no doubt, too, she had
found herself ennuied by the lack
of romance in married life with
Rogers; and she had flown back to
France. Rogers had thought OF fol-
lowing; but, appalled, at the difficulty
OF finding her In Paris; not knowing
what he should do If he did fnd her.
tied gloomily down to live upon his
memories. Some sort of affection for
her had kept alive within him, and
when he opened the door of Vantine's
house and found her standing on the
steps, he was as wax in her hands
Julie had listened to all this indif-
ferently, even disdainfully. without
denying anything, nor seo"'"S to ex-
cuse herself. Perhaps the that she
needed excuse did not to her
And when the story was finished she
was quite herself again; even a little
proud, think. Of holding the center
Of the stage In the role OF siren. It
was almost a rejuvenescence, and
there was gratitude in the gaze she
turned on Rogers.
This is all true, / SUPPOSE asked
the yelled lady.
"All quite true. madame" answered
Julie, with a shrug. II was younger
then and the love OF excitement was
too strong for me. / am older now,
and have more sense-besides, am no
longer sought after as / was"
And So" said madame, with irony,
you are now, no doubt, willing to re-
turn to your husband"
Il have been considering 1t,
madame" replied Julie. with astound-
ing simplicity, "ever since / saw him
here the other evening, and learned
that he still cared for me. One must
have a harbour in ones old age"
/ glanced at Rogers and was
astonished to see that he was regard
ing the woman with affectionate ad-
miration. Evidently the harbour was
waiting, should Julie choose to anchor
there.
II have hesitated," she added, only
because of madame. Where would
madame get another maid such as 7?

A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to be-
lieve that coffee is necessity Of life,
and the strong hold that the drug,
caffeine, in coffee has on the sys-

A lady writes: 81 had used coffee

81 was weak and nervous, had sick

with indigestion that at times he could

DRINK NOT STRENGTHENING.

Intoxicating liquors can supply you
with no energy, no force. They can
not add to your strength. Alcohol,
like whip or spur applied to a horse,
draws strength from you. or rather
out Of you, but it al give you none.
So far from helping you, beer, wine
and spirits will hinder you in what.
aver work you have to do. Other
things being equal, you will have the
greatest steadiness of hand, tirmness
of grasp, and clearness of mind, by
total abstinence from every kind of
intoxicating liquor.
This has been my own experience,
and it has been the experience of
vast numbers of men and women iiv.
ing in every country, and following
every kind of occupation. Alcohol has
been found to reduce the strength,
and the hardest work has been best
and most easily accomplished under
total abstinence.-Dr. Norman n.
Kerr. .

KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM
Continual Fault-Finding Makes Youths
Heart Sore and Discharges Him
Push Him Along.
(By NOEL r

Fathers want to keep their boys on
the farm but too many of them do not
want to give them a start. They say,
Let them dig their way out as I did
before them"
Every boy cannot work hard all of
the time in heat or cold or in rain or
when the sun shines, but when he
asks for a holiday often he is sent
back to work with a sore and heavy
heart, and many a boy on the farm
seldom gets a chance to 60 anywhere
for pleasure. That is discouraging.
Then, many farm boys are denied a
little spending money, which every
boy Graves. He ought to have a little
change that he can spend Just as he
pleases. l know farmers who always
leave their boys at home to care for
the house and the stock while their
parents go of to town or to places of
amusement. That always makes a
boy sore.
This is only n side OF the question.
On the other hand some fathers in
dulge their boys too much and spoil
them. They say, 81 have worked too
hard all my life and now l am going to
give my boy a chance to make a
living easier than 1 did" Another
says, Il will give my boy nothing but
tools, and let him make his own liv-
ing" l think this is the best plan.
Boys to be content on the farm must
have some stock and pets of their
own. This will do more to keep them
contented than anything else. / know
what I'm talking about for l live on a
farm. I have stock of my own and |
wouldn't change places with any
town boy l know. am only thirteen
years, but | have a horse, a COW
and some hogs. l am proud OF my
start.
For sport, a boy likes a gun and he
game.
He also likes to have a room OF his
own where he can keep all of his
wi things. A bookcase filled with
books will gladden. his boyish heart,
and fathers should buy their boys
books when they know they want
them.
Some boys are born for one pur-
pose in life and some for another. and
parents should find u what he can
do best, and help him in that direc,
ton.
Continual fault-finding makes a
boys heart sore and discourages him.
A boy should not be punished for
every little fault, but he should be
talked to kindly and shown where he
Is wrong. Most boys are good at
heart and d9 not intend to do wrong.
and if they are helped to see what is
right they will generally do it.

Strictly Conscientious.

At a matinee performance a stout
m appeared at the entrance, lead,
ing two boys, aged seven and nine,
and presented one licked.
You will have to buy tickets for
those boys" insisted the manager.
NO, won't" she protested. They
always go to sleep as soon as they

II they don't see the show?"
The manager thought of the days
when his mother took him to the ma

that he could not get around he pass

velvet ribbon. There is a second short
er end of the velvet ribbon alone. The
knot at the base Of the loop is OF
both ribbons.
1t happens that the colors combined
in this girdle will harmonic with al
most any lightcolored gown and are
particularly good with cream color or
gold. Just now there is a craze for
pale yellow and soft gold colored
gowns made up with plenty of fine
laces. A girdle like the one just de-
scribed Is lovely with such a gown.
The second girdle IL made of satin
ribbon in three pale colors-light blue,
light pink, and heliotrope or lavender.
The ribbons are gathered over a cord
along the edges and where they are
Joined. Each ribbon is about four
inches wide. The standing loop is
short with a knot of the three colors
at its base. There are three short
ends graduated in length, one of each
color.
AS an exquisite finishing touch,
small %half-blown roses, made of the
three colors, are set primly across the
bow below the knot.
The Tango g!rdle provides a simple
gown with all the establishment it
needs. A fine gown of white or cream
wolfe made up with lace and having a
variety of girdies with corresponding
accessories, will prove a valuable pos
session for the girl who loves to
dance. If there are any girls who do
not, they must be lonesome.

IT HE liking for broad girdles that
i swathe the waist and extend them
selves below and above the normal
waist line is fostered by the new dan
cling steps. These require so much
freedom of the whole figure that the
successful management of the waist
becomes a matter of great Importance.
Two-piece gowns, especially, must be
provided with girdles which more than
cove the waist line. Then, if the va
rious dips and WRITINGS and glides
which have captivated the dancing
world aus the waist and skirt to
part company the broad girdle hides
this disarray.
Two new designs, among those
known as Tango girdles," are pic
tured here. One of them is made of
velvet ribbon in a delightful reddish
yellow nasturtium color, combined
with a cream-colored gauze ribbon
with small pink roses and green fol.
iage embroidered on it. The combina-
ton Is a thing Of beauty in colors.
In making this girdle an edge of
the gauze ribbon Is basted to the I'M
derside of the velvet ribbon for that
portion that extends about the waist.
The short standing loop is made of
the two ribbons also basted together.
Stitches are carefully put in and in
visible, on the right side of the velvet
ribbon.
There is a hanging end of velvet rib
bon with a rutIie of the gauze ribbon
basted along one side. This end is
finished with e small bow tied in the

DOES MODERATE DRINKING PAYi

DOES MODERATE DRINKING PAY7
Answering the argument OF the
moderate drinker that there is a GER
tain quantity of alcohol which can
be used without danger, DR.. Henry
Smith Williams, the well-known in
~vestigator, says:
"Conceivably that is true. though 1t
Is not proved. In any event no man
a tell you what that safe quantity
is--if safe quantity there be-in any
individual case.
But this much / predict with con-
hdence: Whatever the safe quantity
of alcohol for you to take, you will
unquestionably at times exceed it. In
a tolerably wide experience of men
n OF many nations, ! have never
known a habitual drinker who did not
sometimes take more alcohol than
even the most liberal scientific esti-
mate could claim as harmless. There
fore, ! believe you must do the same.
Il am bound to believe, in the light
of what science has revealed, If you
take alcohol habitually % that you
are tangibly threatening the physical
structures of your stomach, your liver,
your kidneys, your heart, your blood
vessels, your nerves, your brain; (2)
that you are unequivocally decreasing
your capacity for work In any field, be
1t physical, intellectual or artistic;
(S) that you are in some measure
lowering the grade Of your mind, dull
ing your higher esthetic sense and
taking the finer edge off your morals;
(4) that you are distinctly lessening
your chances of maintaining health
and attaining longevity, and 90 that
you are entailing upon your descend
ants yet unborn a bond of incalculable
misery.
Such, I am bound to believe, is
the probable cost Of your moderate
indulgence in alcoholic beverages.
Part of that cost you may pay in per-
son; the balance will be the heritage
Of future generations. AS a mere
business proposition, is your glass Of
beer, your bottle of wine. your high
ball, or your cocktail worth the
price,"
