OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

saThen learn" was the concise ad-
vice. "When you consider how much
YOU pay out of your profits for copy
ing. Won will see how much more econ
nomical it is to do your own typtng.
And you ought to learn to compose on
the machine, too. 1t Will save you
q lot of time"
Thus it came about that 50 was paid
in advance on a typewriter, and that
late each night Myra Webb sat at the
machine learning to do her own copy
ing.
The days slipped by rapidly, and
suddenly the woman awoke to the fact
that she must sell something else. and
do il very soon. And that same day
there came a special delivery letter
from Mr. Lawlor. 1t was curt in tone
and began with complaint that she
had no telephone.
II tried to call you up, but I could
not" he wrote. There is bit of
work l want done at once. If you
care to fill orders, you should have
a telephone"
A Hint From Lawlor
An hour after she had read his let
ter she was in his office receiving IN
structions for the article he wished
as soon as possible. Three days later
it was in his hands.
"If this is all right, III send check
Il,
as before. a cent a word You made
this one only twenty-five hundred
words long-didn't you?"
Yes"
And you'd better do as l suggest
and have telephone put into your
home. We may want you to do 9TH
er things in a hurry
1t seemed like rash extravaganza
she mused-yet she must keep in
touch with anyone from whom she
might get work. She mentioned the
subject timidly 10 her husband as they
sat at dinner that night. He looked
doubtful.
81 think you are risking good
deal Myra," he objected. You can't
be sure that this man will ever give
you another order"
still. you must do as you please
about it," Horace Webb added. ITS
your affair, not mine"
Couldn't he understand that it was
all of it as much his affair as hers
that all she was doing was done to
help him?

CHAPTER NH.


Copyright, 1916, Star Company.
The following week Myra Webb
sold another article.
Perhaps one reason that success
breeds success is that it gives one a
kind of courage that nerves to fur
ther effort 1t is certain that her sue
cess prompted Myra to call upon an
other editor, in spite of her former
conviction that she could never bring
herself to repeat that experiment.
But the second editor whose office
she invaded was gentleman.
"Theres a bit too much of it, Tn
afraid" still, if you do not mind
leaving il with me, it will give me
pleasure to read it and report OF you
very soon" Then, as she assented
he added. You know, perhaps, that
we do not pay high prices for such
matter
II did not know" she acknowl-
edged hastily, but that makes no diff
ference"
Her second story-the one she had
written from her heart while in sus-
pense as TO Mr.. Lawlor's verdict upon
her ordered article -- she had called
the story Bitter Waters had been
already mailed to several magazines.
She was not surprised when it came
back with appalling regularity.
When Bitter Waters returned
from it's sixth journey, she still ad-
hered to her habit of starting it on
another trip Immediately. And on
that same day she received a few lines
from Mr. Maiden, saying that he was
accepting her article and that a check
for $40 would reach her in a few days.
She tried not to be disappointed that
the remuneration was so small. She
was not in a position to demand high
prices for her work.
She gave Grace the $5 she had bor-
rowed from her. The girl received
1t with an expression of surprise.

she asked, curiously.

NO DOUBT THAT
RES|NOL DOES
HEAL SICK SIX n

When you know physicians have
prescribed Resinol for over 20 years
in the treatment of eczema and other
itching, burning, unsightly skin erup-
tions. and have written thousands of
reports saying: 1T is my regular
prescription for itching" "Resinol has
produced brilliant results" The result
it gave was marvellous in one of the
worst cases of eczema" etc, etc.
doesn't it make you feel that this is
the treatment to rely on for your skin
trouble?
The moment Resinol Ointment
touches itching skins. the itching
usually stops and healing begins. With
the aid of Resinol Soap, it almost al
ways clears away every trace of ecze-
ma, ringworm, pimples, or other dis
tressing eruption quickly, leaving the
skin clear and healthy. Sold by all

Alan glanced at her. "What do you

You know what | mean. Glen.
You're breaking her heart"
She felt Alan's arm stiffen. For A
moment he was silent, then he said:

Maple House was riding the crest of
happy wave. In body it advanced
on the lake to picnic and supper by
moonlight and in body it returned:
the little ones excited and wakeful, the
grown-ups tired and reminiscent. Days
followed that were filled with laziness
and nights that rang with song. The
cup Of life was filed to the brim with
little things. Sudden peals of unrea-
soning laughter, shrieks of children at
play, rumble of the piano followed
by rollicking college song, ready
smiles on happy faces, broke like com
mas into the page of life, and turned
monotony into living phrases But be-
meath the gayety ran the inevitable un-
dertone. When joy paused to take
breath it found Alan half aloof and
Glenn wistful behind her unvarying
sweetness.
One evening Alan found himself
alone with Nance. She had frankly

ment, and to commemorate their hon
orable record. The presentation of
the medals will be made personally by
Mr.. Harrison to all those entitled t.
them during the next two weeks. III
announcing his plan, the following
statement was issued ny President
Harrison;
Southern Railway company has in
its service 1853 men of all ranks and
classes, from general officer to black
smith helper, who have exceeded
twenty-five years of continuous ser.
vice on the road. There are, indeed,
thirty men who have exceeded
fifty years Of such service, and it is
also of interest that there are 235 ne
groes On the list These men are the
best men the company carries on its
rolls, for they have proven their 10y.
atty and their fitness for their several
responsibilities in the hard school of
experience and by survival of the
strict discipline which is necessary in
the administration of a railroad. To
recognize their achievement and to
commemorate their honorable record,
the company has arranged to award
each one of them a medal which thew
can wear so long as they live and hand
down as an heirloom in their fami-
lies
The medal is of bronze, Of highly ar
tistic and successful design. 1t is the
work of the distinguished sculptor,
Victor Bremen, of New York, who
was recommended to the company by
the United States director of the
mint. The artist is best known, PERI
haps, for his design of the current
Lincoln penny.

The diverse of the medal bears the
inscription Southern Railway Com
rany. For Loyalty" and shows an ac-
tual scene on the road; a section Of
modern double track equipped with
automatic signals, with an all-steel
passenger train running through the
mountains of north Georgia. Presi-
dent Harrison's plan was to show a
typical industrial scene with factory
in the background, but the sculptor
would not agree that a factory was
capable of artistic treatment, and in
sisted on mountains 1t is, however,
fortunate for the company and for
those who will wear the medals that
there are factories on the line as well
as scenery.
The reverse of the medal shows
three symbols of modern railroading;
{ telephone dispatcher at his switch
board, section gang engaged in main
tenance and large heavy-power press
to represent the shop crafts. Thus,
each principal branch of the service is
indicated. On the reverse is also en-
graved the name of the man to whom
the medal is awarded with the dates
of his service record.
