A New and Vital Romance of City Life

knob of the opened apartment door,
looking up into the face of Philip
Hale.

"Oh," all the while standing dazed be-
fore him.
Jennie O'Neil. who had admitted the
caller, glanced out into the hall, then,
seeing Agnes face, retired to the
countenance warned her to keep out of
the way.
Philip laid his hand on Agnes arm.
What is 1t, dear?" he asked gently.
Your aunt isn't-dead?"
She shook her head.
Then come in," he urged. ou
look like a ghost-poor child"
Silently she followed him into the
parlor, her ashen face set, her fingers
clutching and wringing each other.
Dearest" the man said softly, tell
me all about it. You must"
AS she shook her head dumbly, he
looked down into her eyes.
Nothing in the world could make
any difference if know you love me, y
he said solemnly. $50 you are going
to tell me all about 1t, dear, because
you do love NEEDN'T you?'
Agnes Gives Way
She tried to speak, then, as he drew
his neck and burst into tears.
Some subtle institution warned
Philip Hale not to attempt to check
her weeping. Once he tried to lead
her to chair. but she clung to him.
When at last the storm of her grief
had subsidized into sobs, Philip took
from her her little wet ball of a hand
ke-chief and pressed his own fresh
one to her eyes. She held up her face
like child while he wiped away her
tears.
And then before she knew 1t she
was telling him everything. 1t was
easy, now that she had begun. She
told the whole sordid tale in an even
voice. The man held her close while
she talked. Once she felt him shud-
der.
When the story was ended, she rails
ed her eyes again to his face, and
gasped at what she saw there. The
boy seemed to have became a middle
aged man. His eyes were mere dark
Sits in his white face. She could see
a pulse in his neck beating rapidly.
Yet when he spoke it was in a calm,
low voice.
rs that ALP he asked.
Yes" she answered.
Cod" he muttered softly. Then,
still in the same unagitated voice:
"Listen-you are mine-do you un-
derstand? Nine And nothing is 60
ing to happen to you. / want you to
believe that. Because you are to be
my wife. you can believe me-"
He drew in his breath sharply.
And now" he added kissing her
and turning away, I'm going to see
cambridge. He won't trouble you
again."
She tried to speak, tried to seize
him by the arm, but, eluding her
grasp, he was gone.

Philadelphia, Pa. Do you wear
glasses? Are you victim of eye strain
or other eye weaknesses? If so. you
will be glad to know that according to
DR.. Lewis there is real hope for you.
Many whose eyes were failing say they
have had their eyes restored through
the principle of this wonderful free pre-
scription, One man says, after trying
it: II was almost blind: could not see
to read at all. Now l can read every
thing without any glasses and my eyes
do not water any more. At night they
would pain dreadfully; now they feel
fine all the time. 1t was like miracle
to me-" A lady who used it says: The
atmosphere seemed hazy with or with
out glasses. but after using this pre-
scription for fifteen days everything
seems clear. 1 can even read fine print
without glasses" 1t is believed that
thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in a reasonable time ana
multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting glasses. Eye troubles of many

Here is the prescription: Go to any ac-

FAT FOLKS WHO
WOULD BE THIN
REDUCE WEIGHT 10 POUNDS OR
MORE

IT'D certainly give most anything to
be able to reduce a few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
fat man or woman. Such a result is
not impossible despite past failures.
Most fat people are the victims or
supernutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being consumed by the blood. Instead of
only nourishing the blood, much of the
fat producing elements are deposited
in different parts of the body where
they don't belong.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce healthy normal distribution the
nutritfve processes must be artificially
supplied with the fat-burning power
which nature has denied them. This
can probably be best accomplished by
taking an Oil of Korein capsule with
every meal. Korein is a careful COM
bination of splendid fat-reducing ele-
ments, and its rapid effect has been in
many cases reported remarkable Re-
ported reductions of from 10 to 25
pounds in a single month are by no
means infrequent Yet this action is
perfectly natural and harmless OIL Of
Koreiu is sold by good druggists in the
original sealed laboratory packages

"I will get the money somehow"
All the way home. the assurance
that she had given to DR.. Martin rang
in Agnes ears. And all the way home,
before her mental vision. swan the
gross red face of Hasbrook Bainbridge
as he had bent over her to kiss her last
night
She had lost her job. She felt sure
of this now, for IL her failure to re-
port to-day had not caused her dis
charge, the story that the man who
tried to buy her would tell Mr.. Hale
was certain to do so.
In her purse there was some change.
There were also few dollars due her
at the office for the work she had al
ready done this week. That was all
she had in the world. And the oper-
alton alone would cost two hundred
and fifty, or thereabouts."
II will get the money somehow" she
repeated stubbornly as she walked
along, and the passion-inflamed face
of cambridge still hoyered before her
minds eyes.
Her aunt was all she had in the
world. 1t was to her aunt-the aunt
who would die unless the operation
was performed-that she owed her
upbringing. her home, her ideals
everything. 1t was the teaching OF
hospital. that made her shudder and
shrink from the only way which SEEM
ed open to her.
She had to have two hundred and
fifty dollarS-even more than that
amount. cambridge would, she knew,
part with this money willingly If she
would go to him and ask his pardon
and offer to be on friendly terms with
him once more. She shivered and felt
family nauseated at the idea.
II will get the money somehow"
she reiterated. People passed her,
laughing and talking. She stared at
them in dull amazement. How could
they laugh? Walled in by her misery,
she seemed to belong to another and
more cruel world than did those about
her-a world which held one heavy
animal face, a world which echoed to
Just one sentence-"I will get the
money somehow"
She remembered that hosts of men
had given their lives for their fellows.
Men had been called heroes for laying
down life itself for their loved ones.
A woman could give even more. Her
aunt was dying.
1t was noon time. From houses
that she passed came the smell of
cooking. 1t sickened her. How could
anyone eat? How could those Ital-
ian laborers, sitting with their lunch
buckets on their laps at the side of
an excavation, smile and chatter? :?
That excavation looked like a grave
such a grave as they would dig for
Aunt Lucy if she were to die. But she
must not die She should not die!
Afterward Agnes did not remember
opening the door of the house in
which she lived. She did not recollect
climbing the weary flights Of stairs.
But all at once she found herself

Gown, Small "a or SO, Medium 3S or
4o' Large AZ or ~ bust.
Nothing could be prettier or daintie,
han this simple night gown. In fact, its
very simplicity means It's greatest charm.
1t is made of fine material and the scallops
md the designs are embroidered by hand.
The Empire ribbon that is passed through
'lashes worked for the purpose makes a
charming finish. You can copy 1t in any
material that you prefer and you can make
1t white or you can make it of flesh color,
but the all white garment illustrated has a
peculiar charm of its own. If the bare
arms and low neck are not liked, the gown
can be made with kimono sleeves and with
around neck, and when 1t is treated in that
way, it is pretty with the edges scalloped
and embroidered and the fullness held by
shocking. For the gown illustrated
crepe de chine and washable satin are
appropriate as well as the cotton ma
terials and crepe de chine is especially
well liked with the finish of machine hem
stitching on the edges.
For the medium size will be needed.

in three sizes, small 81 or So, medium az

What Dallas Most Needs

l am very glad to see this question
claiming the attention of some of ouI
leading citizens, as it is a question
worthy of the serious consideration of
every person in this community. The
active members of the Dallas CONNER
eial club have been earnestly trying to
solve this problem for many months
and having this very question in view.
this club sent two of its members in
to Washington, TO investigate several
different propositions.
AT Chehalis this committee visited
the cannery of the Lewis County Can
ming Association. This cannery had
only been in business one year. but in
that time they had bought from the
producer and canned 312.7s3 pounds
of fruits and vegetables which includ-
ed $4,000 pounds of evergreen black
berries, a berry which is ordinarily
considered of no value. All of this
pack had been disposed of with the
exception of about half a car of
squash and pumpkins.
The committee was very favorably
and upon their reeommen-
dation the Dallas Commercial club ar
ranged with Mr.. Geo. H. Walker. su-
perintendent of the Chehalis eannery. /

DANGEROUS LUNATIC" FINED
E. G. johnson Pleads Guilty to Sim
pie Assault Against Eglnnd Family

F.. C. johnson, the Dangerous lu-
natic" of the telegraph message that
sent Sheriff Orr and deputies out to
the Nashville country post haste a
week ago yesterday to save a family
and perhaps a countryside from ter
rorization at the hands of an armed
insane man, was arrested Thursday
by Sheriff Geers of Lincoln county
and turned over to Sheriff Orr. Be-
fore Justice of the Peace Frank Hub
bard in Dallas Friday morning john
son was fined $25 and costs, totalling
about $50. Johnson remained in the
county Jail until Saturday morning
when his draft on the Corvallis bank
was honored. Johnson denied threat
ening the Eglunds with gun but adj
mitted that he had threatened Arthur
Eglund with physical violence. Con-
sidering this the officers permitted
johnson to plead to a charge of simple
assault.
The gun part of the episode is ex-
planned by Johnson by saying that he
and companion had been hunting
and in passing went into the Eglund
place to thrash Eglund for "lies he
had been circulating about me-" In
trying to get at Eglund johnson broke
a window pane and started to kick in
a door. johnson says he laid his gun
aside when he called for Eglund to
come out.
