 For each caress left locked in my

 If friendship brings young people together, sthe tie is oftimes easily 1oos- ened and they are separated in most unexpected ways. An interesting young man was found to be agreeable and talented he was one of the bright kind whom most young girls would fancy. They. had been brought to- gether, when coming to the house of their parents and friends, and his chivalrous attentions had merged into friendship sincere, and, as each trust ed, was to prove lasting and devoted
 There is chance for g great deal of delightful and congenia1 friendship be- tween girls and young men when love and marriage are not uppermqst in their minds, or even thought of. It has often been said that girls appeal to the friendship of the opposite sex and men to the comradeship of girls. They find that they care for each oth- CT, beginning in towns where they grew up together. Friendship thus started ripens often into 9. deeper sen timent, nearer and dearer than all others.
 But there is warning that every girl should heed, and that is to have nothing to do whatever with the man who. is willing to leave you for an- other Friendship between those who have been lovers is most absurd tL should be impossible. It. is far safer to be strangers from that time hence forth than friends. A man who pos sesses honor would shun the possi- bilIty of keeping up the same com lradeship with one who had been his best girl after. he had wed another. His presence ought to be a menace to her peace of mind Pride should aid her at this crisis.
 She should not try to experiment with platonic friendship with an old lover. That which charmed and en- thraIled him at first he tired of, like a withered plant. His ardent, unsettled affection dwind1ed into the slightest mere friendship. A tickle lover is not worth keeping, let alone grievins over. Do not try ito discover whom his fance Is. It will do you no good She would pin her faith to his love for the reason that he is willing +n prove that he sincerely cares for her only by being anxious to marry her. Friendship which is wisest to forget is far better that the wasting of years upon undeserving ones. Friendship is the first step toward love. It is said. Those whom first we love we seldom lever wed..' Never drive a friend you are simply tired of from your home He may go forth into the cold, bitter unfeeIing world, to battle with strang- CTS, and fall from the temptation o1 the wine cup and the sad feeling thai no one cares for him.
 l Friends have need of each others aid and companionship when least ex- Ipected. A girl who has tried her best Ito keep the deserving friends she has

EMPIRE

After the Ball. the extraordinary six part masterpiece which heads the all feature program at Keeneyss Elm pire theatre, today fully. lives up to of thrills, tears and heart-throbs-
 Thrills galore are offered in the iepectacular chase t scenes following the attack of the police upon a band of thieves and one sees a leap for life from the top of the high bridge in New York city, thrilling motor cycle chase after flying express train, the leap of the motorcycle cop from his wheel to the steps of the train. the jump of the pufsusd man from the train into the river many feet below and number of other hafr-rafsing feats.
 Two of the greatest legitimate stars appear in the production. namely. Herbert KeIeey and Effie Shannon and Barney McPhee, a former local boy, is responsible for the many thrills introduced in the picture.
 Tears will be brought to the eyes tof many by the excellent playing of Herbert KeIcey in the role of John Dale, as he tells the fstory of what happened after the ball. to his little niece.
 Special mention should be made 1of the decidedly unusual scene in which Broadway is shown at mid might, with it's thousands of flashing electric lights and the glitter of l1T1yriads of autos that pass with their gay parties. This scene alone has never before been introduced in the pictures.
 A number of other highly interest ing and entertaining pnotoplay sub i5ects will also be shown making all in all one of the finest photop1ay programs ever before offered in any theatre in the city.

 merely wanted general idea of the structure; he would return another day to make a careful inspec- ton.
 1T dare say you are surprised that ahould be willing to pay double your original price for Schloss Rothhoefen," he ventured, pausing in the corridor to light cigarette. We were on our way to the top of the east wing.
 ttOh, no,'' I said calmly. T am aware that treasure is buried here. As a matter of fact, I've tried to unearth it myself, but without success. I wish you better luck
 stThanks,'' said he laconica1ly, after the first swift glance of inquiry. Tt is doubtless fairy tale, handed down by tradition. take no stock in it. My principal object in acquiring Rothhoe- fen is to satisfy certain vanity which besets me. I have it on excellent au- thorfty that my exfather-in-law-t man Titus, you know-talks of buying the property and performing the stu pendous, characteristic American feat of removing it, stone and timber, just

 The news staggered me. Could there be anything In what he said? If it was true that Jasper Titus centemplat- ed such quixotic move there could be but one compelling force behind the whim-sentiment. But not sentiment on the part of Jasper Titus.
 CT cannot believe that he considers aoing such thing" I said, rather blankiy. You see, if any one should know, I am that one. He has not ap- preached me, of that you may be sure. He did not appear to be interested My information is not authoritative, MT. Smart" said he. "It came to me through my representatives who con ferred with his lawyers a fortnight ago in regard to certain difficulties that had existed Ibetween us. From what they were able to gather, the idea has taken root in the old mans head. Now, I want to buy this place for no other reason than to tell him that be hasn't enough money in his possession to pur- chase it from me. D'you see? Vanity you may call it, as I do, but it pleases me to coddle it.''
 Very thoughtfulIy I strode along be. side him. Would be serving the countess i'll or well by selling the place to Tarnowsy? It was her whim, oi course, and it was foolish one.
 Suppose that he offered you twice what you are to pay me for the place. said I, struck by a sudden thought.
 He laughed easily. tfYou will not, fl seems, acquit me of cupidity, Mir Smart. I should not sell to him under any consideration. That is final Take it or leave it."
 By this time we were in the room: once occupied by the countess. Ht glanced about the apartment carelessly .sDeserted, I observe" he reEsarket with queer smile.

s.DO YOU THINK
 HE LOVES ME ?''

Dear Miss Lbbey:-
 I have been going with a young man two years. He does not live in this city. I have not seen him for over a year. We correspond. Of late he has not written often If I wait to answer his letter he begs me to write He says am the girl he really loves wants for his wife. Have not heard from him in some time. He makes $24 per day. Do you think he loves me :? Is he just trying to fool me?
 EB. w, These times you can hardly give a just reason as to why the young man does not write loftener. He either does not mean what he says, that he loves and wishes to make you his bride, or he has a poor way o( showing his sin cerity. Write or have a heart-to-heart talk with him soon.

He says he will marry when his girls get married, but that may be a long time. Ought quit him and try to forget him? I don't think I could do that Your reader
 REG Delays very often prove dangerous, as most widows know. Much may happen to separate lovers, in the lapse of a few years. You might do better. He ought not to standNin your way if he sees no possibility in the near flu ture of ttsetting the day's and wirning for you the children's liking.
