THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

rageously cheated! Yet this man
who had cheated her must be con-
sidered fairly honest, or he would
not have a clientele among reputa-
not cheat them nor we'll known
authors. She. a nobody. was fair
game for dishonest persons.
The next morning while dressing
she told Horace of her experience.
His words of sympathy We're few,
but his disapproval was evident.
You ought not to undertake that
kind of thing without consulting
me-" he said. "A woman is always
at the mercy of any charlatan."
Il did not like to bother you
about it," she explained. And IL I
had failed in selling my story l
would have been glad YOU knew
nothing of it."
We'll. YOU might better not have
sold the story than to have been
cheated" he rejoined. "Of course.
my dear, you meant we'll, but 1
wish you would not do injudicious
things. We have troubles enough
already without adding to them"
What was she to do? she asked
herself later If she talked of her
affairs to Horace, he was annoyed.
II she kept them to herself he was
displeased.
Grace Is Encouraged
But of one thing she was certain.
and that was that she regretted
dence as to her last experience
Why could he not have been little
more sympathetic, a little more ap-
preciative of what she was trying
to accomplish? No - she ought not
to have told him.
Many good men drive their wives
to the conclusion reached by Myra

her mother as they sat at luncheon

Webb exclaimed. Ask whom you

Il only want a couple of the
teachers from school" Grace said.
Certainly. dear, have them" the
mother agreed. But why not ask
some of your old friends. too?"
Not yet, Grace said. Later, if
you keep on making money. we may
be able to entertain more elaborate
ly than we can now. For you are
making more money than at first
aren't you?"
The eager look in the young eyes
made the mothers heart ache.
Indeed. yes" she responded. II

Fine" calculated the girl. The
thought of an improvement in their
style of living had suddenly changed
her outlook. Story writing pays
awfully well. doesn't it,"

She was trying not to remember
that she had received only SIS for a
story that had sold for $40. She
had made the mistake of telling
Horace of this, but thank goodness,
Grace did not know.

CHAPTER XIV


Copyright, 1916, the Star Coz
Notwithstanding the expressed
doubts as to the wisdom of the scheme
Myra Webb had telephone installed
in her apartment. Whenever she
looked at it she felt a slight shiver
right in undertaking this added eX-
pense.
Her check from Mr.. Lawlor came
promptly. In acknowledging it she
gave the editor her new telephone
number.
Meanwhile the conviction that
Grace needed the society of young
people grew steadily in the mothers
mind. 1t met with small encourage
ment from the girl herself.
'I don't care to meet my old
friends" she would protest.
Myra could not force company
upon her child, and all at once she
thought OF the happy expedient of
inviting several of her own friends
to her home.
At first it was only for a cup of
tea in the afternoon that she aslIe
them. She found it somewhat of a
triat to do this, for she was pain
fully conscious of the change in her
style of living. But she made no
reference to the alteration in her
circumstances.
Grace, coming in late one after
noon. paused, amazed, In the door of
the living room. Then as she tap-
preciated that her mother was
actually entertaining callers. she
entered and took her part in the
conversation.
Thus the ice was broken, and peo-
pie began once more to visit the
Webbs. While the wife and mother
reJoiced in having succeeded in
drawing her daughter out of her
self-imposed seclusion, she spent
some anxious hours wondering how
all these additional trifes were to be
At one time she would not have
been conscious of the increased ex-
pense caused by the presence of sew
eral extra persons to afternoon tea
Now she found herself counting the
cost apprehensively. But she must
keep up the custom she had at last
established.
1t was at this juncture that she
heard of literary agent who
might. she thought, sell some ar
ticles for her. So she mailed to
him a story she had laid aside in
her desk weeks ago.
She Has a Suspicion
In few days the agent sent her
check, naming the periodical to
which he had sold her manuscript.
The check was for only eighteen
Il have deducted my usual ten
per cent commission the literary
agent wrote
Myra Vel b was new in the busi-
ness world. but a sharp suspicion
came TO her mind. Was it possible
that this man had received only
twenty dollars for her story?
Still. she had the check cashed.
She needed the money too much to
pause just now to investigate. But
later she called up the magazine
named and asked how much had
been paid for her story. The as
sistant editor she questioned in
formed her that forty dollars had
been paid for II.
Why do you ask?" he inquired.
I hope there is nothing wrong"
"Oh, no, never mind" she replied
weakly, hanging up the receiver
So she had been cheated-out-

They walked back in silence. Nance
went into the house, but Alan said
good night and stared thoughtfuAy
down the road. His step auickened.
and, walking rapidly, he passed over
the moonlit brow of the hill and down.
down into the shadows Of the valley.
Hard is the battle that has to be won
twice, but when in the small hours OF
the morning Alan returned and crept
noiselessly to his room, he felt that
ne had won, that he had put the final
seal on the remuneration Nance's words
had well-nigh recalled. Still wakeful.
Alan started packing. He left out his
riding kit.
That day awoke to clouds that low

fateful hour Of seven when they might
with all due respect to atmospheric
tradition start in with an all-day rain.
but long before the hour struck Alan
had foraged for biscuit and a glass
of milk and was mounted and away
for last ride.
Alan rode with the ease of one born
to the saddle. There was nothing of
the cowboy in his get-up. He used a
mere patch of hunting saddle. fitted
like a glove to his horses back, and
rode on the snaffie with a light hand.
The curb rein, that last refuge of a
poor horseman, hung loose and forgot
ten. Alan himself was drese ID in
well-worn whipcord b-eeches, short
coat, soft hat and close-ftting boots
adorned with rowelless spurs. For
his health Red Hill had done wonders.
His body was trim, supple and as vi
brant as the young horse under it.
But Alan's thoughts were far from
saddles and saddle gear as he walked

slope Of Long lane and with his riding
crop steadily discouraged the early

Farmer.Oyned Banks.

One of the writer's for the University
News Letter, says the Charlotte OBJ
server, has returned from a trip
through the mountain section and tells
something he learned about the bank
ing business in that part of the state.
In the three little banks al Blowing
Rock, Boone and Vale Cruces he found
S255,0O0 in surpluses, undivided pro-
fits, time deposits and open accounts.
Tie farmer own these banks and this
snug little fortune has been accumu-
lated out of live stock sales for the
most part. The average is nearly $40
aDiece counting men, women and chill
dren in Watauga 1t compares very
we'll with the $14.50 in one Of our cot
ton and tobacco growing counties.
'But the most striking difference, >
says The News Leetter, "lies in the
fact that in one case the farmers own
the banks and skim the cream of the
bank business; in the other the banks
are owned and operated by the mer-
chants and the mill men. The farm
ers own little of the capital stock and
still less of the diTidends. They do
the borrowing, by proxy, through the
time-merchants."

BOOMING HOBSON
FOR PRESIDENCY
PROHIBITION LEADERS MENTION
THE CAP'N.
Efforts Will Be Made to Have Dry
Pianks in the Platform OF the
Big Parties.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-Tne name Of
Richmond P. Hobson of Alabama, was
among those mentioned as presidential
nominee possibilities at a conference
of Prohibition parry leaders summoned
here b. the executive committee of the
national committee Of that party today.
The discussion of candidates was in
formal. Other names mentioned were
those of J. Frank Hanley, former gov
ernor of Indiana; William Sulzer, for
mer governor of New York, and Eu-
gene Foss, former gcGernor CT Massa
chusetts. The date for the national
Convention was tentatively set by the
national committee, presided at to-
at Minneapolis.
At a preliminary meeting of the con-
ference last night Frank G. Curtis of
Jamestown, n. Y, said that he hoped
Col. Roosevelt would be the candidate
of the Republican party and that ne
would run on a prohibition platform.
Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman of tbs
national committee, president at to-
days conference He said he believed
the Prohibition party to be stronger
now than the Progressive party.
Efforts are to be made" said Mr.
Hinshaw, "to have prohibition plank
incorporated in botn the Democratic
and the Republican party platforms.
If these efforts fail, and neither of the
platforms mas such a plank, there will
be many defections from the old par
ties to the prohibition banner
Plans for extending prohibition ter
ritory were discussed today.
Finley C. Hendrickson of Cumber-
land, Md, said no amendment of the
constitution was necessary to enforce
prohibition.
"The present laws and the present
constitution are ample if supported by
prohibition administration and in
terpreted by supreme court in har-
mony with our views" said Mr.. Hen
erickson.
Oliver W. Stewart of Chicago and
Dan Polling of Ohio contended that the
best practical plan of obtaining ma
tional prohibition was by means of an
amendment to the federal constitution.
