when the first part of the service was
over"
AS the meal ended, he remarked
that he had not seen Mrs. Gore yet.
II hope she will be we'll enough
to get up for this evening" he told
me as he turned toward the stairs to
go up to her room. II have asked
some people here to supper, and 1t
will be embarrassing If she cannot be
present-for they are new acquaint-
ances."
1 did not want to disappoint him,
but was sure that Mrs. Gore had
no intention of rising from her bed
to-day. "
AS he came down from his visit
to the invalid, his disturbed coun<
tenance showed me that 1 was cor
rect in my surmise. He Joined Grace
and me in the library where we were
looking at the pictures in the Sunday
papers.
"Mrs. Gore will not get up this
afternoon" he said in low voice.
She says she feels too badly"
Then, as Grace ran across the room
to gaze out of the window, he added
in a low tone: "I think she would
be better-poor lady!-if she made
the eXertion to get up. Almost all
her trouble is nervous, and largely
due to self-absorption."
1 recalled instantly the conversa-
tion / had overheard last night, and
was sure that he suspected, as / did,
that pique and self-pity combined
to keep Mrs. Gore from recovering
as rapidly as her brother-in-law could
wish.

AS he looked at me a sudden light,

"I wonder" he said, impulsively,
why you could not come down in

that she was i'll. and that she had

CHAPTER NH


(Copyright, 1917, Star Company
Mrs. Gore will not be down this
noon. Put places for Miss Dart and
Miss Grace at this table"
My charge and 1 were entering the
dining-room as these words were
spoken.
My employer was standing by his
own chair at the foot of the big ia
BILE. Before him stretched out an ex-
panse of damask, dotted with conven-
tional articles of cutglass and silver.
His was the only cover laid. At the
side of the room was set the small
table at which Grace and 1 were ac-
customed to take most of our meals
Hello, Daddy"
AS my companion hailed him, Mr..
Norton turned and held out his arms
TO her.
WELL" he said as she ran to him
and kissed him, your dad has been
a lazy old man to-day and has just
come downstairs. Good morning
or good afternoon, isn't it?" holding
out his hand to me. You see have
ordered places for you two young
ladies, with q mock bow to the
child-"put her at the table with
me. If you fancy L am going to sit
here all by myself you are much mis-
taken"
We was in genial mood, and Grace
recognized the fact.
"Oh. dear Daddy!" she exclaimed.
This is lots of fun. l don't believe
Auntie would let Miss Dart and me
sit here if she was down"
"If she, were able to be down I
would not be here alone, daughter"
he explained LAS this is Sunday
and Auntie cannot come to dinner, I
want my little girl to keep me from
being lonely"
And Miss Dart, too" she supple
mented.
agreed. For If / took you away from
her, then she would be lonely, you
see."
Our two plates, with the accesso-
ries thereto, had been transferred by
this time to the main table, and we
seated ourselves opposite my en-
ployer, Grace at his right.
He Is Disappointed
1t was a pleasant meal. the jolliest
I had had since 1 came to this home.
Mr.. Norton was delightful talker
and Grace was so happy that her face
was bright with smiles.
"Mayn't Miss Dart and me sit here
with you every Sunday, even when
Auntie's well, Daddy?" she begged.
He would not answer seriously, but
laughed her request away.
II make no promises! Auntie ar
ranges the matters in the dining room
when she is up-so l keep out of the
business. But, little girl, it is not cor
rect TO say, May Miss Dart and me sit
here?"' You should say, May Miss
Dart and L."
Then, tactfully. he led the talk
from Mrs. Gore and her wishes. He
asked where we had been, and on be-
ing informed that l had taken Grace
to church, inquired with feigned
gravity if she had behaved prop
erly."
"She was very good" I told him.
But did not let her stay through
the sermon. We went for a walk

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

TAFFETA continues a favorite
material for handsome afternoon
costumes. You can make this
one in a light or in a dark color
for there are fancy silks offered that
will trim both successfully Here, silk
with Persian effect is used for the bands
and the dress itself is made OF taffeta in
quiet neutral shade that is just a little
bit deeper than sand which makes an ex-
cellent foil for the Paisley effect. The
blouse may be made as it is here or cut
longer to form an extension over the skirt.
When it is made in the latter way, it will
be pretty for quite different materials.
The closing is made invisibly at the left
of the front. For the simpler blouse, you
can make with high neck and rolling
collar that leaves slight opening at the
front. The skirt gives the very newest

The Price of
Cannon Fodder
BY Mary Austin
of the Vigalentes

The following proclamation ap-
peared on the walls of Warsaw, last
year. just before 100000 families
were expelled to wander in the ruins
of devastated Poland:
"The Government suggests that
mothers having children should send
them to Germany to be brought up
and educated. Mothers who are
willing to make this arrangement
will receive the sum of 150 marks
for a boy and 100 marks for a girl.
No other aid will be given.
"(signed) Governor General Won
Beseler."
1t was to make this transfer OF
cannon fodder unavoidable that the
families were expelled. And yet
strange to say there were many
Polish families who preferred to see
their children die rather than have
them brought up as Germans. Ter
rible and inhuman as 1T is to permit
children to starve to death, l am not
sure it is not the lesser crime, even
for Germany, than to bring them uI
in the German ideal. To take a
Polish child with it's heritage of lib
erty loving, of heroism and genius
such as have distinguished that race
and make of it q mere bestial unit

New Instructor at Tech
Will Teach English

The Rev. S. w. Herman, pastor of
Zion Lutheran Church, gave his an
nual address Wednesday morning to
the Tech students. His talk was full
of the usual humor that character
ICES his speeches to the Tech boys.
At the conclusion of the chapel, a
collection was taken for the chari-
table institutions of the city. The
funds received from Central and
Tech are used to pay the hauling of
the donations received from the 9TH
er buildings in this city.
Professor d. e. Belt, new in
structor for Freshman English, ar
rived at Tech. this week to take up
his new work. He is a graduate of
Dickinson college, and prior to en-
tering the teaching profession, was
West. For four years he has been
principal of the schools of Wells
vile, York county. He succeeds j.
d. Renninger, who was drafted in
the National Army.
A Popularity Contest" has just
ended at Tech, conducted by the
Tech. Taller. The results will be
printed in the Christmas issue of the
Tech Taller. The school paper will
offer a prize of a two and one-half
dollar gold piece for the best Christ
mas story submitted to the Literary
editors.
Students in good standing in their
classes have been offered positions
during the Christmas mail rush to
secure work as mail clerks from De-
cember 10 until Christmas. In view
of the fact that the work is looked
upon by the school authorities as
being a war service, the students
will. be given a chance to make ur
the work after New Year.
The Sophomore class will send
away an order in the near future
for rings and pins. They will be
made after the model adopted a

Germany will not hesitate in the
future to use physical restraint in
these unfortunate children of adop-

not having taken the German Virus.

COALSHORTAGE
ISSAD SERIOUS
Not Enough of Domestic Sizes
on Hand, Declares
Dealer

"The fuel administrators do not
know the true situation in this city,"
declared John e. Dare, coal dealer
today. "The fact is that there were
but six thousand tons of coal in the
city last week and that is now great
ly diminished. If the fuel commit
tee will personally go about and in
spect the various supplies they will
see that unless the Government or
ders this district to be immediately
replenished there will be a famine
of fuel and a serious one. If this
committee has the notion that coal
Is plenty then only let them take the
trouble to look over the field in per-
son and they will know their error.
"Other concerns are in about the
same shape as myself, supplied still
with some buckwheat and egg coal,
but entirely out of the domestic
sizes, pea, nut and stove. Gail up
any dealer and you will find that you
will have to wait three or four days
before being served. My own firm
has nearly four hundred orders
ahead, and on Wednesday we were
compelled to shut off further orders.
The Montgomery firm which had a
mountain of pea coal down along the
tracks has been entirely looted. The
same is true of Wallace and the Sill
verman concern has had to close up.
There may be some boarding and
indiscreet buying on the part of Gus
toners, but the fuel committee
should appreciate that the big fac
tories of this city are now running
over time, day and night, and are
gobbling up the coal at an alarming
rate. Firms that used bituminous
coal are now using carload upon car
load of pea coal. The bakeries are
in such desperate shape that l think
the government will have to make
some special provision; otherwise
the supply of bread will be cut off.
For three months now Harris
burg dealers have had no coal from
the big dealers. And here is a
question they would like to ask of
the fuel administrator: Why is il
that individual operators who ask a
rs and 90 cent premium are able
to distribute coal? They have been
shipping right along and they have
saved our lives.
Another drain on Harrisburg

which the committee may have over
looked is the tremendous call for
coal from outlying towns. PEN
brook, West Fairview, the whole
west shore has been shy of fuel all
summer. Now they are carrying it
off by the wagon load. Shut off from
coke and bituminous coal the whole
brunt of supplying the demand falls
upon the pea coal bins, and they are
nearly emptied."
Mr.. Dare strongly advised Install
ing the card system, for there is no
other way of telling just who gets
the coal when bought. But he en-
phasized especially that the fuel
authorities appointed by the Govern
ment should make a personal inves-
tigation which, the dealers believe,
would result in the Government di-
recting supplies quickly to this sec
ion.
