craze young man this year. He is glad enough to hold on to his position and to do double the amount of work to take several days of who is not looking at the prospect with any great amount of exuberance. Heretofore he has hied himself to the mountains or seashore; not only for the change of recreation it afforded, but that's where all the pretty girls went and he could be sure of enjoying himself to the top of his bent swimming, stroll ing, sailing, moonlight dances on piaz. "a and lawn, straw rides and barn dances.
 He came back to his work with a new zest, even though he had not met the girl of his dreams. He told him. self he would have better luck next time. Most young men look upon staying at home philosophcally whether they live in city or town they find so many ways to pass the time that their vacation days are over all too soon. The girl who has expected to meet him in some fashionable place is disappointed. The maiden who al most cried her eyes out because her folks hadn't money enough to send her away realizes that it was certainly providential.
 Had she gone she would have missed the best days of her life with Jack. He had called every evening and taken her somewhere. to church, camp meet ing. out for stroll, to the ice cream parlor and last, but by no means least, to the out-ofdoor movies. Her father allows her to have company at home because her summer outing hasn't cost him anything. The cheap little white null dress which she believed would have made her quite a laughingstock at any resort, looked charming in the eyes of the unsophisticated young man who couldn't have told to save his life whether she had on a satin or a calico frock.
 Of course it wouldn't do for all maidens to get the stay-at-home bee in their bonnet or the big hotels would have to close their doors. But it's mighty satisfactory state of affairs for those who couldn't go off on summers vacation.
 There will be more marriages this summer between couples who have known each other all their lives than ever before. Young men will find that they don't have to go of to meet pretty girls. There are quite as many just as fair and sweet in their own home town. They don't have to go to the trouble of being made acquainted with her family. and do lot of ex- paining about their own lives. Ere the summer is over the young man will say he had no.idea that Susie was half so sweet! When one young man sur renders to Cupid, most of his friends will usually follow his example.

THE NEW LIFE"
By ELLIS WARREN LEIGHTON.

They called her stern, when she was only sad. She chilled many with her silent, inscrutab1e ways when all the time her heart was as wax, but hidden as to its secret springs from all hu- manity.
 Thirty, regally handsome woman even after five years of grief, loneli- ness, almost despair, Myra Edison found groove and fitted it we'll.
 An exclusive wealthy family with three young daughters wished less a tutoress than a refined companion who would keep them close to high social ethics and Mrs. Edison, graceful, dig nified, accomplished, was ideal in her functions.
 She spoke of her past never to any body. Her employers respected her, her charges confided in her, for while 1t was not her nature to be responsive she was always consistent and true 10 the core.
 Yes the inner chambers of this lone ly woman's heart were filled with poign- ant memories of life romance rude ly wrecked, and the momentoes of the same she often took from treasured easket to gaze at, to weep, and at times to harden her heart against that weakness and strive to forget.
 One was a medallion and set within It was the portrait of handsome and dashing looking young man-her hus- band, Rolfe Edison, whom she had not seen for years. There was be- sides scrap of paper, tear blurred and yellow. It bore the words Try me once more."
 And she had said "No!" sternly with a forbidding face, and, humbled, i'll,

and perhaps penitent, Rolfe Edison had faded out of her life.
 Had she done right? Her soul told her no, thousand times no, but this conviction had come to her when it was too late to recall her fateful words. A wanderer, last among the human driftwood of a great city, or dead, she had never since heard of or seen the husband who, within year after marriage, had become wretched, worthless drunkard.
 Her favorite of the three girls under her charge was Helen Montieth. She was the bright one of the coterie, the pet of the family, the leader among her sisters. In a fevered state of ex- citement she broke in upon Nellie and Maud as they were getting their les sons in the study one afternoon.
 "Oh, darling." spoke Helen in mysterious undertone, closing the door, listening at it for a moment, glancing swiftly around to make sure that they were alone in the room-"I have a secret
 How delightful" commented Maud, throwing down her book.
 "Oh, tell it, dear, quick! quick" pleaded Nellie.
 Not all of 1t, that is at the start" dissented Helen. Tt wouldn't be secret If I let it all out, would 1t? No, you must be patient for little while. But the plot-oh, you can help me on that"
 "A plot?" echoed Maud and Nellie breathlessly in unison.
 "Yes,' declared Helen. You are to do your share and help in unraveling a mystery"
 "Gracious!" futtered Maud.
 And exploiting romance"
 "Oh, how sweet" palpitated Nellie. with glowing eyes. "Oh do tell us all about it. We are perishing with sus- pense."
 I'll tell you this much as a pre- face.' said Helen, today a man saved my life"
 "O-ooh!" shivered Maud. "really!"
 "Yes. he did"
 IOun8, nanuSOme, modern RnlBnt errant!" breathed the sentimental Nell lie softly.
 No, not old, not unhandsome, but serious faced, troubled eyed, oh, so sad his story! Yes, an auto had all but struck me when he dashed beside me and lifted me out of the way just .n time. Oh, how frightened I was! how grateful. and then, what do you think he told me?"
 "What?" what?" eagerly demanded Maud
 That he had been following me pur. posely. And he told me why. And because he was my preserver and be- cause we may bring his sorrowful heart a new happiness. ask you to help me in doing one thing. That done

The same sort of decoration Is much used on sports shoes, which promise to come into prominence as a new feature in footwear, with the ar. rival of warm weather. They are shown in combinations of white buckskin with unusual colors for footwear, such as grass green. purple, light yellow and blue. There are also combinations of white with tan and white with black that are less daring but quite as snappy.

 Why not now?" panted Nellie. Because am bound to a secret" And what is the one thing we are l to do?" asked Maud.
 You are to tease, cajole. compel Mrs. Edison to take us all to the Glad stone motion picture show next Mon | day evening""
 She won't go-she never goes to place of amusement, you know" re- minded Maude.
 She must go to this" declared Helen firmly Come, Nellie. you are the prime teaser of the family. Use your powers in this case It means so much!" and Helen clasped her pretty hands in ardent exaltation
 You provoking thing-keeping us in the dark!" cried Nellie You'll be glad when it all comes out" insisted Helen. You'll be dou- bly, glad you helped"
 By Monday evening the sprightly Nellie had persuaded Mrs. Edison to chaperon them to the Gladstone the ater. All three Of the girls were in vast f1utter, Madd and Nellie because they felt they were on the verge of a delightful precipice of excitement, Helen athrill and anxious, hoping that the outcome might bring about re- suit she devoutly wished for. The largely advertised feature of the program, The New Life," began three reels. It had a strange begin ming. A we'll dressed man who sug- gested wealth and leisure was seated in the office of motion picture pro- ducer. As this mans face came into view Mrs. Edison gave a great start and uttered sharp gasp. The visitor was offering the movie man a large sum to produce scenario he had pre- pared and to allow him to act as the principal character.
 Then the real film began. It de- picted the wedding of a young couple. It showed the downward path of the easy natured husband to the lowest dregs of dissipation. It portrayed the su1erings of the tortured wife, sepa- ration, an appeal of the weak husband for last chance to reform, stern no. and. half fainting, Myra Edison sat astare. enthralled, knowing that she had seen chapter of her life faith fully portrayed, detail after detail. The chief actor was her lost husband! The wife was a woman in form and feature as closely resembling herself as 1t was possible to find!
 Then followed the career of the hus- band, lower dregs, miraculous re- formation, hard earnest work, lucky strike in a mine and he was independ- ently rich. It showed him lowering about the city where his still beloved wife was living, idolizing her at dis tance, never daring to approach her. ] And Myra Edison read the oracle true. To all this trouble and expense Rolfe Edison had gone to convey to her that he was still loving and was a man with a new heart.
 The barriers were sundered for tho | first time in years. When she reached home Myra Edison broke down. Helen was at her side. The longing Myra threw herself into the arms of this | sweet consoler.
 "Oh, Mrs. Edison." cried Helen, 10th. CT arms are waiting to take and hold you and atone for all the wretched past Can tell your husband to come to you?" and Helen confessed all of her share in the plot to bring husband and wife together.
 And then The New Life" began in earnest, and two chastened souls drifted into haven of peace and hap piness.

IF HE HAS SINISTER SISTERS.

Love and time with re eterence use,
 Treat them like a parting friend.
 Nor the golden gifts refuse
 Which in youth sincere they send;
 For each year their price Is more.
 And they less simple than before.
 There are bachelors who acknowl- edge secretly to themselves that they might be tempted into matrimony If they come across the right woman. These are the men who board at ho- tels, are not society beaux. and do not banish the hope which creeps into their hearts now and then of enjoying home comforts, of listening to Q wifes voice and the prattle of babies per haps.
 Such . man can be cajoled away from single blessedness by lovable woman who Is able to convince him that she Is his true heart-mate, be he forty, aye, or sixty, for that matter.
 But the hope of winning the middle aged, well-seasoned bachelor who lives at home with spinster sisters is an ambition rarely realized. unless by almost Q miracle. Not that his heart has hardened with time, but the years have made him cautious, aye. and wise If he sees a woman who makes an es- pecial appeal to his fancy. he fights a royal battle with his heart. He will not allow his thoughts to dwell upon her or his longings to cluster around her.
 A youth will stake everything for
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-04-18

When high resolves no more inspire,
 When the heart no longer sings.
 When hope is a f1tful fire,
 And lifes harp has lost its strings?
 Youth-time Is laughter time, enjoy ment-time, hope-building time, the time when the hearts song is gay as the lark's and life's cares have not crossed the horizon of the present Pleasure and happiness are the birthright of the young. There should be music in their sunny days and floating through their dreams at night. It does not take much to make them enjoy themselves merry companions, little kindness and love shown them, gratifying few simple wishes, and they are as happy as the day is long. Duties may weigh heavily on their young shoulders, but they do not worry over them-care is swept aside by the anticipation Of some coming joy.
 It is when the candle of hope has burned to the socket and died out that the human heart begins to lar ~uish and life's song dies away on the lips In a sob. This should not be. No mat ter how bitter life is and how dark the clouds, the sunshine is struggling to pierce its way through them and radi- ate the heart with it's brightness.
 An angry thought, a breeding over wrongs, real or fancied, is just so much poison dashed upon the poor, helpless, suffering heart which is pow erless to protect itself against the one being on earth whose duty it is to guard from injury. If breeding did any good, one could be pardoned for indulging in it, but 1t does not; on the contrary, 1t is throwing the door of the heart wide open, inviting an ac- knowledged enemy to enter, making havoc with the worn, tired faithful organ which is denied the little com fort it's faithfulness earns.
 The woman whose heart no longer sings loses her buoyancy and beauty speedily. Her eyes catch the spirit of discomfort and lose their brightness, and the lips their smile All coQuetry dies out of her nature, and when this happens her sweetest. most womanly attraction vanishes with it. All with whom the sad woman comes in contact may respect, nay, pity her, but ninety nine persons out of hundred will flee in another direction if they see her approaching.
 The world has need of a woman's laughter and mirth No one wants to condole with her constantly over her woes. Her tribulations are of i'm portance to herself only Who wants to be burdened with the recital of them? Who cares? No one.
 Breeding women should make it the determination of their lives to turn over Q new leaf. If they would win friendship, popularity. even love, they must teach the heart Q new song and see that it sings it? The bright, blithesome woman who is a veritable ray of sunshine Is always sought after, appreciated and courted. She never fails to win her way to ones heart and touch affections golden chord. No matter what reason Q woman has for grief, do not let the world suspect it. That will not amend matters. As sume cheerfulness though you have it not. When the heart no longer sings. love refuses to nestle there.

their revolvers at the car.

Smatherss daring saved $4,000 in
wages which the Cranberry King was
taking to his laborers.
They had started with the payroll
for Hampton Park. Mrs. Smathers,
who was driving, was chatting with her
father as they drew near Iron Mills,
whose unkempt houses straggle along
the edge of the cranberry bogs.
Dozen Men Spring from Brush.
The brush along the roadside parted
and a dozen men, all armed with re-
volvers, leaped into view. One planted
himself in the middle of the road and
levelled his weapon at the motor party.
Mrs. Smathers held grimly to the
wheel and her foot sought the ac-
celerator. AS the car leaped forward
the highwaymen opened fire. Spllnters
and broken glass showered the occu-
pants of the car and bullets whined
past them. Henry Rider slumped for

POLICE SEE PLOT
TO KILL SHONTS
Two Strikers Arrested
After Purchase of
Revolver.

Following the arrest last night OF
two strikers, Oscar Wallace and John }.
Sheeran. for stoning elevated trains
near l39th Street and Alexander Ave-
nue., the police told of an alleged con-
spiracy against the lives of Theodore
p. Shonts, president of the INTERIOR
ouph. and General Manager Frank He'd
ley.
The arrests were made by Lieutenant
Barnitz and Detectives Kiely and Wal
lace. who say they have had the two
men under surveillance for the last ten
days.
According to Lieutenant Barnitz,
Wallace, who lives at 122 East l29th
Street. and Sheeran, who lives at 400
East l44th Street, The Bronx, were in a
saloon in The Bronx ten days ago with
four other men, when they were over
heard to declare that "the onlv wav to
end the strike was to kill Shonts and
Hedley"
Wallace is said to have pointed out
the impossibility of procuring a gun in
New York, and Sheeran, 1t is alleged,
replied that one could be obtained in
Newark without any trouble. From that
time on until their arrest, the police
say. the two were shadowed dav and
night. The day after the conversation
in the saloon they were followed to
Newark, where Sheeran is said to have
purchased a revolver
Last night the detectives followed
them as they walked north along Third
Avenue. At 129th Street they tried 20
board several iitneys and appeared TO
be in a hurry. but all of the vehicles
were crowded. They had reached
point near l39th Street. the detectives
saw. where the az" structure passes
over private property. and there they
began hurting stones at trains.
Lieutenant barnitz declared the two
were on their way to Sheeran's home
to get the revolver when the detectives
were compelled to arrest them.
Sheeran admitted he had a revolver
and. when asked where it was. said he
kept il under his bed Detectives were
sent TO his home to search for it, while
others were sent out TO round up the
others who are said to have taken part
in the conversation in the Bronx saloon
ten days ago.
Extra policemen were stationed near
the Hedley home in Yonkers about
week ago, and several reports have
reached Headquarters of threats made
against both the general manager and
President Shonts
