be alone, he left her.
For the first time she had real OBJ
livion from the memory of her deceit
Of Westerling, the oblivion of drear,
heart-pulling suspense. All the good
times, the sweetly companionable
times, she and Lanny had had to-

his outburst in their last interview in
the arbor, whea she had told him that
If she rcdnd that she wanted to come

passed in review under the hard light
Of her petty ironies and sarcasms,
which had the false ring of coquetry
to her now, genuine as they had been
at the time. Through her varying
moods she had really loved him, and
the thing that had slumbered in her
became the drier fuel for the flame
perhaps too late.
Without him-what then? 1t seemed
that the fatality that had let him es-
cape miraculously from the aeroplane
accident, made him chief of staff, and
brought him victory, might well

was calling. She heard 1t haz-

fear, before 1t became cheerful clar-
ion cry that seemed to be repeating
a message that had already been spo-

He's safe, safe, safe, Miss Galland!
He was not hit! He is on his way
back and ought to be here very soon!"
She heard herself saying Thank
you'll" But that was not for some time.
The aide was already gone. He had
had his thanks in the effect Of the
news, which made him think that a
chief of staff should not receive con-
gratulations for victory alone.
Lanny would return through the
garden. She remained leaning against
the wagon body, still faint from hap
piness, waiting for him. She was
drawing deeper and longer breaths
that were velvety with the glow of
sunshine A flame, the flame that
Lanny had desired, Of many gentle yet
passionate tongues, leaping hither and
thither in glad freedom, was in pos

appeared out of the darkness the
flame swept her to her feet and to-
ward him. Though he might reject
her he should know that she loved
him; this glad thing, after all the
shame she had endured, she could
confess triumphantly.
But she stopped short under the
whip of conscience. Where was her
courage? Where her sense of duty?
What right had she, who had played
such a horrible part to think of self?
There were other sweethearts with
lovers alive who might be dead on the
morrow IL war continued. The flame
sank to live coal in her secret heart
Another passion possessed her as she
seized Lanstron's hand In both her
own.

Mrs. Vernon first promulgated it by

lovely locks shorn. clipped and bobbed

The whole audience gasped. There

thing was audacious, startling. But
every woman in her heart knew intui-

set.
Women with short, scrimpy hair were
the first to recover. They were over
toyed. Not having anything to lose by
bobbing their bantam locks they knew
they could be absolutely in the swim at
no cost to themselves. The woman with
the long. beautiful hair sighed and shed
a few quiet tears. They knew the decree
for shortened hair had gone out quietly
but irrevocably. Sooner or later their
lovely long tresses would have TO go.

SCHOOLGIRL WEBS
TO ESCAPE EXAMS.
Fifteen-Year.Old Naomi Elopes
with Boy Swain After Long,
Wistful Wait of Year.

Peekskill, ~ Y. Feb. 19.--Naomi
Dyckman, fifteen years old, of Mont
rose, got married because she didn't
want to take the coming exams at
high school. At least, that's what the
girls school chums limited to-day.
Not that Naomi doesn't love her hus-
band, Adrian Bogardus. sixteen years
old. A year ago she confided to her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Dyck-
man, that she had decided TO marry
him. But Papa Dyckman then nipped
the impending nuptials in the bud:
Naomi bided her time and waited FOR
q propitious opportunity. Exam" time
is just about due and she dreaded the
ordeal. Whether there is any connec-
tion between the marriage and the
"exams" no one in Montrose will assert
definitely, but rumors to that efect
were heard among the girls OF the
Montrose High School to-day.
The girl attended school as usual to-
day, but instead of returning home met
young Bogardus and took a train at
the Peekskill station for Asbury Park,
\. j., where they convinced the Rev.
DR.. F. NJ. Bogardus, pastor Of the First
Reformed Church and grandfather OF
the bridegroom, that they had their
parents consent. Then they teie-
graphed to the Montrose folks that the
ceremony had taken place.
