4 GIRL AND 4 MAN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van ~se Water

With this reflection uppermost she
went downtown the following day. She
had been in the office for half hour
before Mr.. cambridge entered.
Good morning." he greeted her
cheerily. "And how is your aunt to-
day? Better, 1 hope"
''She had very comfortable night"
the girl said, then added hastily, Il
want to thank you, Mr.. Bainbridge,
for the roses you sent me. They are
wonderful. And so were the first you
sent ] did not suspect'-with a little
laugh of embarrassment those
others were from you, or would have
thanked you for Them
"Ah? Who did you suppose sent
them?" he queried teasingly.
She flushed as she remembered that
she had actually faneied they had
come from Philip Hale.
Ill do not know had no
way of knowing" she stammered.
There was no card with them"
No" he said, Il put none into the
box, for I was a bit afraid you might
disapprove OF my sending you even
trifiing remembrance. I am glad you
did not know the flowers came from
me-"
Why"
Bainbridge Proposes
Because" he explained. Il saw
that you had presented the fair Miss
Rooney with some of them. I hope
that, had you known they were from
me, you would not have given any of
them away. Am 1 very presumptu-
ous?" .....-.
He drew nearer as II he would
take her hand. She felt vaguely un-
comfortable and withdrew a little.
"I don't know" she said. Per
haps 1 would have done so, no mat
ter who gave the roses to me-
IT hope not" he repeated softly, his
eyes fixed steadily on hers. 'I like
to think that you would value my gifts
too much to give them to another
girl. You see, child, I am getting to
bank upon your regard for me-
She gazed back at him. startled.
She had never seen just that express
sion in his eyes before.
"You have been a very good friend
to me-" she said hastily.
His manner puzzled her. Should
she resent 1t? She recollected that
she had made herself ridiculous once
by resenting what he had intended as
no offence. He saw her embarrass-
ment now and laughed indulgently.
Am l worrying you, little girl?" he
said. We'll, I won't then. Only-I
am always ready TO be your very true
friend"
Thank you," she murmured, draw
ing her breath more freely.
Catching her hand in his, he lifted
it quickly to his lips.
you are a dear child!" he ex-
claimed. Then. with a swift change
of manner, he turned to his desk. 1T
is getting late" he said. Are you
ready to begin work?"
All at once he was the business man
again-the man for whom she had
been working these past days. Yes,
it would have been foolish for her to
act as if she were afraid of him!

CHAPTER XXXvIII

Copyright 1915, Star Company.
When Agnes told her aunt good
night on the evening that Hasbrook
Bainbridges roses arrived, Miss Nor
ley recollected something.
did you see the letter I put on the
mantel in the sitting room?" she ask
ed suddenly.
What letter." Agnes questioned.
"Oh, dear-I'm so sorry to have for
gotten to mention it," Miss Lucy apol-
ogized. 1T came for you this after
noon"
"All right" Agnes said
She put out her aunt's light and
went back into the front room. She
was curious to know from whom the
epistle was. Letters were not a daily
occurrence with her. She had, for a
moment. a secret hope that this one
might be from Philip Hale, but a
glance at the envelope showed her the
Spencerian handwriting of Randolph
Pickensi
1t seemed strange coincidence that
with this second gift of roses near her,
she should receive message from her
discarded suitor. She thought swiftly
of his poor little bunch of sweetpeas.
Dear Miss Morley" Randolph wrote,
while I understand the wisdom OF
your kindly-expressed decision on the
occasion of my last call upon you, l
am now presuming to take the liberty
forget the subject-matter of our last
conversation and allow me to come to
see you occasionally as a friend. l
promise not to trespass too frequently
upon your goodness if you condescend
to grant my request
"You have always been an inspir-
alton to me. L am lonely man, and 1t
would cast a ray of light across my
pathway could have the honor of our
friendship. Do 1 presume past par
don? Always faithfully your humble
servant-Randolph Pickens."
Poor chap!" Agnes half sighed,
half smiled. Her own worries made
he may come to see me. I do not be-
lieve that he could ever again sum-
mon courage to make the mistake of
talking affection to me. l am sorry
for him. It was pitiful-his offering
me those sweetpeas while those great
flaming roses were here on the table y
Her remembrance of the incident
was distinct as she answered Mr.. Pick
ems letter.
Certainly you may regard me as
your friend" she wrote, "and If 1t will
give you any pleasure or lessen your
loneliness to come to see me some
times, 1 will be glad to have you
come
But l hope he will not come too
often" she mused as she laid the let
ter where she would be sure to see 1t
and take it out to be posted to-mor-
row morning.
Returning to the sitting room. she
bent over the roses. They were very
beautiful, yet her heart beat no faster
as she thought who had sent them.
But she could not forget that Mr..
Bainbridge was very kind to her, and
that, just now, but for him, her life
would be colorless.

A Sure Way to
End Dandruff

There is ono sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
It entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces Of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need). apply it at night when
retiring; use enough TO moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most II not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly. and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, CLOS
sy, silky and soft, and look and feel a
hundred times better.-Advertise

So frequently do we use the

Evidently the dictionary takes
envy much too seriously-just as
the old moralists did!
Nowadays when we say that
we envy another we do not de-
sire to rob him of a possession;
we merely desire to own DU-
PLICATE.
But by envy we acknowledge
our own inferiority. "A man
that hath no virtue in himself,
ever envieth virtue in another"
The sin of envy is in its reac-
